Nightwish live in Duesseldorf

After three years of waiting I could finally see NW live again. They played their first german show yesterday in Düsseldorf. Of course I was very curious about the new show and the setlist. Overall I can say that it was a great show. The large screen in the background and the pyro effects looked nice and created a lot of atmosphere.

2. Storytime
3. Wish I had an angel
4. Amaranth
5. Scaretale
6. Slow, love slow
7. I want my tears back
8. Come cover me
9. The crow, the owl and the dove
10. The Islander

12. Last of the wilds
13. Planet Hell
14. Ghost River
15. Dead to the world
16. Over the hills and far away

A lot of stuff has happened since my last update.

There is a lot of stuff to catch up with. I’ll start with Tarja:
