Its probably bootleg footage so you will probably need to get it from a torrent or something. But dont bother. It doesnt have tarja so it willbe lame. Just stick with End of an Era. Thats all you will ever need.

DOn't worry about the live footage. If you truly want to listen to how they evolved, start with Angels Fall First and work your way to "Made in Hong Kong". The latter is a keeper.

While the Wacken 2008 concert is a bootleg why should anyone want to pay to greedy pirates for it, just look for a torrent and grab it form the web for free. The whole idea of bootlegs *at least used to be* trading them with other collectors or sharing for free, but definitely no money involved.

I will be honest with you, I like both tarja and annete.

I have the bootleg but the problem is the audio is crap..something like 127kbs..it just doesnt sound good.
I know most ppl wouldnt mind it but im very picky when it comes to sound quality,hence the reason im willing to pay $$$

if anyone knows someone with a higher bitrate version of the performance, plz let me know ty

Yes, this is probably a bootleg, but I have some audio from that gig and that sounded excellent, so I am curious to know if the video is just as good.

Far as I know, the band has said that there won't be another "official" DVD for some time, although many are hoping that the final concert of the DPP tour will be made into one.

Hi Mick, welcome to the board, and thanks for your post.

I am interested in trading something for the Wacken DVD, but I'm pretty swamped with other trades right now, so I'll have to get back to you on this at a later date.

 

[deadone38]

i have a few more NW shows listed on my site and i also have around another 20 or so i still need to add from a previous trade i have just completed.

This might also be the place to mention it, but our friends at Dream Emporium informed us of an article written in a Central American newspaper, saying that there might possibly be a new Nightwish DVD next year.

Here's the full article if you want to check it out:

that dvd sounds very interesting indeed, thanx for the link

 

[C.]

No problem; always glad to help.

Is there any chance to translate that article into English?

 

[C.]

If you have Google Translator, it normally automatically translates the page for you. It's not the best of translations, but you can get the gist of what it says.

To put it in a nutshell, the article basically said that both Nightwish and Arch Enemy will be filming their shows in Central and South America as a way to promote themselves in South America. Nightwish is bringing along a 22-person camera crew, and about 3-4 songs at each show throughout the Latin American tour will be filmed, to be released on DVD. The DVD is scheduled to be released in September of next year.

Since there has been no confirmation of it on the band's website, or no mention of it anywhere else, I am not sure if this DVD will be an official Nightwish release, or if it will be some sort of compilation DVD released by the record company or something.

Edit: I have changed the topic name slightly since this thread is no longer only about the Wacken '08 bootleg, but becoming a general thread for discussion of bootlegs or possible live DVDs to be released in the future.

I really cannot imagine nightwish recording a live dvd at this point!
and in all the interviews on the us tour tuomas always denied that there will be a live dvd in the near future because of the movie release etc!
so i do not think that this is true!
