Last night, CB and I went to see Nightwish at the Metro in Freo. Doors opened at 8 so when we arrived a little after, we were shocked to see the line down the street. Standing in line seemed a little strange as the ratio of wang to females was not the normal typical metal gig ratio.
After joining the end of the line, we got roughly half way down when people with tickets were shortcutted into another line. Sweet! We got in just in time to see Voyager. They played a mix of their old and new stuff, Danny Estrin seemed to play only a few parts on his keyboard and the rest of the symphonic stuff was pre-recorded.
Nightwish were awesome, playing quite a bit of their new record, but also some older stuff. I think the older stuff sounded a bit weird to me because I'm used to hear them with Tarja's (operatic) vocals, and I think Annette struggled hitting the higher notes in some of the older stuff. But in the end, it was a great once in a lifetime show and they played and sounded unbelievable live!
