Tarja Turunen - Wishmaster - SF Regency Center 5/7/09

[Xxcom9a]

Does the drummer have a blast shield around them? :P Great song, but I prefer seeing Marco, Jukka, Emppu and Tuomas up there instead. Still sounds close to the same, just I'm not used to these people.

Than watch the fucking stupid and new Popwish videos!!

Tarja doesn´t need the Guys!!

She is amazing with or without them!!

I saw her live and her band was soooooo good!!

Mike´s solo was awesome and Max was a member of Apocalyptica(their a great and famous band ,too) !!!

[Xxcom9a]

Apocalyptica opened for Nightwish at Hartwall Areena I believe.

[TrueSuomiMetal]

Their music is still good!!

But Max was the only one ,who was not so stupid !!

And now he is on tour with Tarja!!

The right way!!

I think Apocalyptica was the only reason why the people went to that Popwish concert!!

[Xxcom9a]

Yes, I'm not saying that Tarja's solo career band isn't good, I was just saying that I'm not used to seeing different band members up there. I have gotten used to it just like I got used to the 'new' opening to Wishmaster and how Anette sings songs. Every singer will sing differently.

If you listen to a song like Ever Dream live (2003), you will notice that Tarja doesn't sound the same. She got better and so will Anette. The CD version sounds good because she might have had multiple attempts.

That was my hand in the black glove on 0:41!!!! That was my birthday present!!!!

[XxHydrilusxX]

Nice way to spend a birthday with [practically] a personal show from Tarja!

[xmullensk8r]

lol, thats my head in the shot at 30-40sec.

Great show!

[XxHydrilusxX]

Woo hoo! \m/

[newuser13]

Thanks for recording/uploading

[diana17rock]

i think she is much more popular in argentina, brasil and europe than here... i hope too that this won't discourage her. but i still can't understand why there was such a small crowd...

[XxHydrilusxX]

I know. The two Nightwish shows i saw last year were sold out, I would have figured any NW fan would have been here too but, it was a Thursday night, so that probably didn't help. I hope she will be back! Probably not for a year though...

[RENDERALE]

En Argentina despierta una pasión total y tiene muchisimos fans. En Mayo hizo 4 recitales (four shows) y vendió todas las entradas (all the tickets sold). it was amazing !!!!

(sorry for my english jajaja)

[diana17rock]

what was happening at 1:22? awesome!!! love you, tarja

[XxHydrilusxX]

That was a mosh that started up, and part of the reason I was recording the back of that guy's head for a few seconds

[ShinomoriMisao]

This was such an awesome show <3

[XxHydrilusxX]

Totally!

[Epica90]

Yeah I truly dont understand why Americans have so bad taste for Metal...The music that is popular today is just crap it totaly is...Britney, Justin, Beyonce you name it WTF?? artist like Tarja wipes to floor with them ..

[XxHydrilusxX]

Oh I know. Tarja's voice was absolutely flawless throughout the night. I didn't record any of the slow songs but check out tarelysian's video for The Reign and Oasis...Tarja is a amazing.

[42lacey]

Seems so fun. I wish i could have gone to one of her concerts. I really hope she can get a lot more popularity here in the USA but with the crap we listen to i can see how hard it would be for her to become popular here. But i love her music anyways.

[XxHydrilusxX]

Aw dang, yeah it was so kickass! The place was no where near being full though...I'd say there were less than 200 people... People keep telling me that's pretty good for a thursday night in SF but still..it's Tarja! You'd think any and every Nightwish fan would have been there... What's preventing you from seeing her?

[42lacey]

Well im living in las vegas i actually hoped she would stop at the house of blues here but she didnt. I just cant travel right now cause my mom has cancer and she is not doing to well right now so i need to help her out. but 200 people is probably what she would get here cause the house of blues isnt a big venue. But i hope she will not be discouraged by the numbers and hopefully come back to the USA for her new album.

[XxHydrilusxX]

That's EXACTLY what I told her when I saw her outside their tour bus, that I hoped the small crowd hasn't discouraged her from coming back hehe. I actually just got back from Vegas a while ago, was going to the NAB convention, will be going back this summer heh.

I'm very sorry to hear that about your mom. I truly wish her the best of luck and strength in fighting through it. My step mom just got through with her breast cancer so, I know it is a tough fight.

[42lacey]

Thank you and my mom has breast cancer so thats nice to here that your step mom is doing good. My moms case is a lot more complicated then average breast cancer cause the cancer has traveled to other organs and its in her bones. But it is always good to here that another person has beaten it. Im still super jealouse you went to this concert haha i will get over it but it will take some time haha did everyone who went get to meet Tarja??

[XxHydrilusxX]

Hehe well I hope you can enjoy the videos I was able to record, as well as tarelysian's. This camera I have is great for audio, it doesn't distort at all, so I was anxious to get the entire intro of Tarja mainly, I just need a bigger flash card! :-( I don't think everyone met her. There were only about 15 of us standing in line by the tour bus, surprisingly enough. I have pictures I took too on Facebook and myspace, will see about getting them on photobucket in a bit :-)
