End of an Era Wiki Information
End of an Era
is a DVD and double CD from the Finnish symphonic power metal quintet Nightwish. Nuclear Blast recorded their live performance at the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland on October 21, 2005, the final concert of a long worldwide tour for their album Once
. During the concert the band was joined on-stage by Lakota musician John Two-Hawks, who performed "Stone People" from his album Honor
as an introduction to "Creek Mary's Blood", which featured his voice and cedar flutes. End of an Era
is the final Nightwish production to feature Tarja Turunen on vocals. She and the rest of the band parted mere hours after this concert. The name of the album most likely refers to this.
In addition to original Nightwish songs, three significant covers appear, their known cover of Gary Moore's Over the Hills and Far Away, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, and a cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes.
The running time of the concert is 1 hour and 43 minutes. The DVD also contains a 55 minute documentary about the fifteen days prior to the concert, "A Day Before Tomorrow.", and a photo gallery.
The Blu Ray version was released on May 29 2009 and features the concert in High Definition 720p, with Dolby Digital audio.
