What a great show, they certainly did kick a lot of ass. I was really proud of the crowd Detroit assembled...bigger than I expected, and they were really into it. The only downer is that I got there late...didn't think Nightwish would be going on that early, as most headliners seem to take stage around 10...I walked in and they were playing Ever Dream, I was like HOLY SHIT. So I missed the first 3 tracks, I can live with that...because the next track was Whoever Brings The Night, my favorite off DPP 
TPATP was just amazing, and I was sooo stoked to hear 7 Days To The Wolves.
I have to say, Anette was fantastic, they sure picked a winner. Her stage presence is excellent, and she looks like she's having a great time (as does the rest of the band)...and her vocals are top-notch, which we already knew, but she sounds just as good if not better in a live setting, very impressive. Did anyone notice her doing some freestyling on Nemo right before Emppu's solo? I really dug that.
I waited around after the show by the buses...chatted it up with some fans, and Tuomas was the first to come out. Had him sign my Amaranth DVD and Century Child booklets...he gave me my sharpie back, then took it again to sign for others, repeat this about 3 times...people were laughing
Then Jukka came out, then Marco...all the guys were really friendly...especially Marco & Jukka as they were chatting with fans for at least a half hour. Thankfully it wasn't cold and the rain let up Didn't see Anette or Emppu, but Ewo (he's the big guy with blonde hair right?) walked by and said "yabba dabba doo" 
After that it was time to make the 2.5 hour trip back to the west side of the state. Great night...thanks Nightwish!
@Zellie, I commented to Marco about the Finnish Chin Milkers thing and he was laughing...said something like "where did they come up with that"
