. INTRO (RED WARRIOR) ~
The DVD begins with the unfortunately shorten intro “Red Warrior” by Hanz Zimmer, extract from “The Last Samurai” soundtrack. Great intensity, a room crowded with 14000 people, a large backdrop that will fall and leave full view to several big screens, and the band (except Tarja) coming onstage with a screaming audience. The scene is set; the last concert with Tarja can begin.

. DARK CHEST OF WONDERS ~
The first song of the show is obviously Dark Chest Of Wonders (it was this way for all the other shows of the tour – the band’s track lists never change a lot). Huge start with pyrotechnics, lights everywhere, the band in very good shape, perfect directing and a few successful visual effects (such as slow motion used beautifully).

. PLANET HELL ~
Getting straight to Planet Hell with Jukka being the star during the intro, Marco screaming after the choirs to introduce the song and a few pyro explosions perfectly synchronized. Marco-Tarja’s duet is marvelous (even though it’ll reach the top later on the show), the sound is perfect and the band’s performance too. We want more!

. EVER DREAM ~
First « emotional » moment (lol) with the intro played on keyboards by Tuomas, and then joined by Tarja. Then, a big silence where Tuomas seems to commune with himself, his face hidden in his hands…before Jukka and the others start the powerful song again. A great finale thanks to Marco and Tarja’s singing and the other members, particularly wild at the end of the song!

. THE KINSLAYER ~
Return to the Wishmaster’s period with the well loved Kinslayer, performed in a quite similar version as the previous DVD « From Wishes To Eternity ». Pyrotechnics are still on and the intensity can particularly be felt during the song’s break before the end, when Tarja “speaks” with a diabolical voice.

. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA ~
This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful duet offered by Tarja and Marco. A quite similar version to the album version but with a different finale which makes this version reach the original one. Marco excels at singing, Tarja ends the song with breathtaking vocals, and all this underlined by Tuomas’ very strong keyboards: Phantom Of The Opera is undoubtedly one of the biggest moment of the show.

. THE SIREN ~
The Siren is one of the tracks that have been added during the tour, more precisely after February 2005 when they went back on tour after a break. This song is superb, well orchestrated and well adapted for a show. Emppu and Tuomas particularly distinguish themselves and still Tarja & Marco’s duet makes no mistakes at all! This track was released as a single on which there is a live version of the song.

. SLEEPING SUN ~
The first ballad of the DVD is Sleeping Sun, that was re-recorded in 2005 in order to release it as a single to promote Highest Hopes. Tarja appears in a white gown (that reminds the fans the video for the song’s new version), on the higher stage. Big screens behind her show snowy landscapes during the performance.

. HIGH HOPES ~
It’s time for Tarja’s traditional break, and then time for the four guys to play a cover of their choice. Pink Floyd’s “High Hopes” has been chosen to be the cover since February 2005 (during the first part of the 2004 tour, it was Megadeth’s "Symphony Of Destruction" which is available on the single "The Siren" and on the single "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan").This is a nice cover of the song, with Marco who definitely is impressive, especially at the end of the song.

. BLESS THE CHILD ~
With Bless The Child and its beautiful crescendo introduction (that was used to start last tour’s shows) begins the second part of the concert. The band’s performance is a success, as well as the direction – some extracts from the lyrics and pictures (cross, etc…) superimpose the band during the song. Finally, the last word of the song appears as a watermark: « Forever ».

. WISHMASTER ~
Nightwish’s most famous song! It would be impossible for the band not to play this song for it is such an important piece in Nightwish’s history. There is no pause here, the images follow on from each other very quickly, we see one member and another as fast as possible! Another great moment of the show. Emppu plays a flawless a solo, Tuomas is wild…What more can we ask for?

. SLAYING THE DREAMER ~
This is the more aggressive song of the show, and what a song!  Marco is as wild as can be – he screams the title of the song. Tarja, after she vigorously headbanged, sings her lyrical parts to end this song which is definitely a memorable live song! The three other members are not to put aside either, they just help in making this song a great piece !

. KUOLEMA TEKEE TAITEILIJAN ~
The calm after the storm. The situation is now reversed since Tarja is alone on stage to sing the Finnish song from “Once” with a sample while the screens shows black and white pictures from the band behind her. This is beautiful, simple and calm… This is a good way to catch ones breath after Slaying The Dreamer.

. NEMO ~
Now it’s time for Nemo, the first single from the album « Once », under the thunderous applause of the audience. Tarja appears again with the clothes that she wears in the song’s video and, after a beautiful introduction played by Tuomas on the keyboards; the fans go wild when they hear the chorus that everybody knows. Contrary to most of the other shows from the tour, Tarja stays on stage at the end of the song and exchanges looks and smiles with the won over audience.

. GHOST LOVE SCORE ~
It is time for the concert’s "masterpiece", Ghost Love Score, the 10 minutes track from "Once". This is certainly one of the other great moments of the show – the band succeeded in giving a great live performance of the song and its performance is perfect from beginning to end. Confetti burst forth as the ending comes, frenzy is at its fullest, and the song is a success !

. STONE PEOPLE ~
The calm after the storm, part two. Native American John Two Hawks comes alone on stage to play and sing one of his own songs with a flute and his peculiar vocals. The atmosphere brings calm and contemplation, the title of the song was well chosen.

. CREEK MARY'S BLOOD ~
This is the second time that this song is played live (after a first "test" in Romania, without John Two Hawks) and one cannot forget it. Part ballad (first part of the song), part stirring, Creek Mary’s Blood is the other big moment at the end of the show. The break during which John Two Hawks sings and dances is deep and moving, and it is also true for the end of the song when, alone on stage, he reads Tuomas’ poem in his mother tongue.

. OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY ~
Less and less often played in 2005, Gary Moore’s cover HAD to be played that night to be on the DVD so that fans could have a memory of that successful cover that was released on an EP, before Century Child came out. Jukka is put forward, once again (he is the king of the world during the intro), and Marco sings new backing vocals at the end of the song!

. WISH I HAD AN ANGEL ~
Here is the final song of the concert and the whole tour, the very efficient Wish I Had An Angel! As it is the last song, Nightwish gives all the strength that they have left and one can feel it! Tarja’s « dance », Marco’s devil eyes, pyro bursting everywhere at each chorus – all the ingredients are here! During the last break before the chorus, one can notice an effect that shows each member the one after the other, in slow motion – sensations guaranteed

. OUTRO (ALL OF THEM) ~
It is now time for the band to leave the stage, after several bows to the audience with John Two Hawks who came back for that purpose. This is a great emotional moment when one knows what eventually happened a few moments later backstage. Once again, the music that plays while they leave is Hans Zimmer’s – but this time, it was taken from “King Arthur”’s score.
