Recorded Nightwish performances

[A7]

Yesterday, I acquired a bootleg Nightwish DVD. I skimmed through the disc and noticed a few things:

- The set list consists mostly of songs from Wishmaster.
- Tuomas and Jukka not sporting goatees.
- No Marco in this video (Sami Vänskä was the bassist on this one).
- Tapio Wilska (?) doing a duet with Tarja.

Now this sounds a lot like From Wishes to Eternity, but this video is under 40 minutes long. Anyone here familiar with this particular performance?

I have a bootleg from Gates of Metal where Tarja is dueting with Wilska, but this was after Marco joined the group so obviously this is not the same thing.

Do you remember the setlist to this show? Maybe I can ask around and try to narrow down what it might be.

I also renamed this topic so it is not confused with the MIHK topic.

I wrote down the setlist somewhere, but forgot it on my way to work. However, I took a further look at NW's discography and confirmed that this bootleg is a very bad copy of From Wishes to Eternity.

What makes it total garbage? First, it's a DVD encoded in VCD format. Second, it only covers the show's first 10 songs. And third, the compression method cut some of the songs in half.

Now I'm gonna go hunt down an original copy, because this bootleg is a travesty.

Yeah, a shame that you were ripped off that way. At least if you're gonna buy a bootleg, it should be something that cannot be officially found anywhere else.

And the official DVD is better anyway, because it features the music videos, bonus documentary and photo gallery. Plus, the rest of the show.
