This unique band’s first live offering. The on-stage delivery is impeccable; if there wasn’t a lot of over-dubbing done, then there is much here to be impressed with! And according to many who have seen the band live, they are certainly capable of such performances. The top spots include “She is My Sin,” “The Pharaoh Sails to Orion,” “Wanderlust,” “The Kinslayer,” “Come Cover Me,” “Elvenpath,” and “Fantasmic Part 3”. Obviously a must-have for the biggest of Nightwish fans, and a fair place to start for a new fan too, as it’s the closest the band has to a “greatest hits” package.
