they played crazy train at progpower, but i'm pretty sure there was no jens. I love nightwish... probly my personal favorite set of progpower. I only went to se symx, evergrey and nightwish and i had seen the first 2 before, but nightwish was a first. That's NOT to say that evergrey and symX didn't slay, because they were absolutely amazing. But there's still something about the first time seeing a band that is just beyond magical.
Ok anyway, heres my little review:
First of all, all the opening bands, as usual at Lamours (in my experience) SUCKED. I can't believe some of the shit I had to wait through to see/hear Nightwish. Oh ya, and there was an abundance of little goth girls that all wanted to be like Tarja or something. Which is really funny because Tarja isn't goth, in fact, when she comes out on stage now she's in this white flowing outfit complete with a white microphone. She looks and sounds absolutely angelic
. So my friends and I were saying how much these stupid goths were gonna start crying once they realize their idol isnt goth lol.
Anyway, the band was great, everyone performed spectacularly. Marco was drunk off of his ass (as I heard he was at progpower) but he still rocked hard. Tarja sounds better live than on the CD, if you can imagine that.
The set was (to the best of my recolection, but don't quote me on the order past the 4th song, also I dont have the first two albums so there was one or two that I didnt recognize that I won't put on the list).
Bless the Child
End of all Hope
Come Cover Me
Dead to the World
The Kinslayer
Crazy Train (w/Jens Johansson on keys and Marco on vox)
Ever Dream
She is my Sin
Beauty and the Beast
Slaying the Dreamer
Wishmaster
encore:
Walking in the Air
Over the Hills and Far Away
About the Jens thing...I know he lives in NYC and hes probably friends of the band so thats why he was able to make this guest appearance. When Marco was introducing him and I saw him walk out I could have shit myself. Jens is my all time favorite keyboardist (and one of my favorite musicians, period) and I didnt think I'd *ever* get to see him live (cause Strato's definately never gonna play here).
My only dissapointments were that they didnt have any merchandise (probably sold out between progpower and the montreal show) and that the band didn't mingle with the fans afterwards, they were just sort of quickly ushered into a car that was waiting for them. Kinda weird, tho after seeing what some idiots some of the fans were I don't blame them. The more I see how stupid and groupie like some fans are the more I admire the guys in SyX, cause I'm sure that even they have had to put up with that yet instead of having those fans ruin it for the levelheaded ones they still continue to be very open with everyone.

nightwish sold out of merch so fast at PP. and yes, tarja looked absolutely stunning in white. Very angelic (i'm not just a tarja fanboy, but come on, she's hot). And marco was in fact drunk at PP, but that was cool, he was still awesome.
As for the band rushing off, i know they were incredibly jetlagged at progpower, and i can't imagine they'd be much better then either. Plus i heard rumor that tarja was not feeling well... she sounded spectacular so i don't know if that's true or not, but who knows? Anyway, i have to ask you what your favorite song live was.

Hmm...I thought the way they opened with Bless the Child was spectacular, and Over the Hills and Far Away, despite the odd nagging that, yes it rocks but they didnt write it, was a great closer. I think overall tho, the songs that really hit me hardest were She is my Sin and Slaying the Dreamer.
