NIGHTWISH OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY GIBSON AMPHITHEATRE UNIVERSAL CITY 1/21/2012

[Imagineer189]

She is amazing. But I'd rather Marco not singing in the chorus :p

[heroesdrhouseaddict1]

Yeah! I like this version!

[GlitterAndMetal]

OMG!!!!!! I never thought I'd hear Nightwish play this again! Anette YOU ROCK!!

[Shadow199819]

Marco voice is more better then Annete's =]]

[jessiluca483]

This song is not written for Tarja, is a Gary Moore's cover! Beautiful =)

[Jack95701]

Radio interwiv, Tuomas said that the Roy Donokley see them live, with this year´s end. : )

[harrawrson]

The only part of the lyrics I think is "messed up" is the repeat of the end of the first verse. I think the rest are a creative mash-up of the variations between the two singers. I like it. :)

[jezabeldispair]

such an amazing take on this song, the more i hear and watch Annette the more i feel like this is nightwish how they always should have been!! Much love for this lady! and all the guys of course!

[BrandonHarami]

I almost wet myself when they started playing this song.

[Warrantsweetroses]

I Love Anette!!!!!!!

[nEmo414]

hahah they should learn lyrics again before the concert ;))

[Irracionaly]

Anette have no time to learn lyrics, and try to understand her, She never sing it ... I love Anette . ♥

[V4mpIr3L4dY]

@Irracionaly Of course, she's been in the band for only 7 years, she had no time to learn it.

[HeartsEyes]

@V4mpIr3L4dY It's 5 years now, and it's not like they spent all that time just rehearsing this one particular song. As far as I know, Over The Hills was indeed added to the setlist on very short notice.

[Irracionaly]

@V4mpIr3L4dY I talk about 2011 . She never sing Over The Hills And The Far Away etc, and add this lyrics of the new album . 7 years she not need lyrics of this song because those songs was written for Tarja . If u like her voice , dont look at mistakes . And sorry for my english :d

[kokosoveniebo]

@V4mpIr3L4dY

hahah, fucking true

[JimKnopf15]

@V4mpIr3L4dY Ever listened to End of an Era? Tarja couldn't remember them too =D

[Musiikkifriikki98]

What? Anette singing this song? :o

[AaronHolopainen]

wrong lyrics you both :S JAJA still I LOVE UUUUUUU

[rramjii]

TROY DONOCKLEY IS TOURING WITH NIGHTWISH AGAIN? Hell yes!

[damned0009]

this song is modifyed .... tarja is unique

[reafras]

@damned0009 that doesn't make sense :)

[lynn0407escapistgirl]

Over the hills and far away...from the original text! Wtf was this? They both didnt really know the text. Ereryone can sing a wrong text sometimes but so many mistakes in just one song? Anette repeating the end of the 1st verse in the 2nd verse and Marco totally confused with the two different refrains. I guess the rehearsals werent long enough. I really love NW and they will always be great but this was shit honestly. And I miss Tuomas' keyboard solo, for me it was the best part of the song :-(

[TheSkellaish]

@lynn0407escapistgirl That's true - they totally fucked up lyrics. What's more, at 70000 tons of metal situation were similar :p. I love them, but...

[nwcarmen]

@lynn0407escapistgirl Marco has the lyrics typed and glued on the monitors and still didnt got it right lol :P i saw Tero putting the lyrics on Marcos monitors at the concert XD

[miikapiika1]

odd.. tuomas stated on the nightwish book that they would never play othafa after end of an era :o

[DanasLilMakeup]

@miikapiika1 People always change their minds, me thinks:P

And wows, lyrics ahhh yea *snap* but the harmonies in here are just incredibly smooth.

[HeartsEyes]

@miikapiika1 They probably changed their minds when Gary Moore died.

[Xsakebi]

"Over the hills and far away" is better with Tarja. Honest opinion. This just sounds so..."plain"...

[reafras]

@Xsakebi tarja ruins it all live with her vibrato pronouncing..anette is much more fun to listen...honest opinion :P

...and haha xD 3:25

[C0bfan666]

Fireworks 4:57

[autumnofhate]

I have to say that Marco saved this song...but it sounds worse than the old one

[TheSkellaish]

@domiukas1 Holy shit! xD

[lorelai5000]

oh and i just realised its a year ago today that the great gary moore died :( RIP

[domiukas1]

@lorelai5000 oh really.. fuck... Such a great person left us! RIP

[RockSidi]

@domiukas1 I agree my friend...he passed away too early but his music lives for ever like this great NW cover shows...Let's keep on Rocking!

[lorelai5000]

i didnt like the version she did of this at the secret show but it sounds so much better here :) shes such an incredible singer and imaginarium shows just how big a range shes got for example of song of myself she is able to hit such low notes :) i really wish i didnt notice this though but i dont think shes wearing a bra here lmao :)

[HeartsEyes]

@lorelai5000 Yes, I think at the secret show it wasn't well mixed between the microphones and all.. so they learnt from that and did it better here.

[domiukas1]

I really love Nightwish. And I'm not the fan of only Tarja or only Nightwish. I am a bigg fan of both of them. I'm listening them for more than 5 yrs. I wanna say my opinion. Over the hills i like more with Tarja. But Planet Hell was amazing with Anett!

[alarich64]

As beeing very newly recruited to the Nightwhish-Fan-Army, I can only say: Thanks for sharing this video... Now I'm determined to buy a ticket... I don't care for the "Tarja versus Anette Discussion". Both of them did/do a great job with Nightwish. Some old songs made me shiver.. and at least "Last Ride Of The Day" has the potential to make me shiver again. So I impatiently await the 14. of April, when Nightwish come to Düsseldorf/Germany...

[Doum92]

Cover of a cover... of a cover!

Coverception :D (amazing one!)

[flarcon10]

hmmmmm, great band, but no great singer...

[reafras]

@flarcon10

sound quality is quite bad...she sounded pretty awesome there :)

[HelloMeNameDane]

Haha all talk about Tarja i sick! 

[SoulmasterRZ]

I love how some tarjafans says that this song was made for Tarja... lol!

Anette kicks ass with this! (and many many other songs xD)

[CodA2501]

@alerevamp17 You do realize that Tarja just covered this song right?

[TheSkellaish]

@alerevamp17 But it's Gary Moore's song... So Tarja also can't sing it, becouse it's written not for her voice!!!1 Tarja sux, it's not the same, Gary sang it totally different way!!!1

Eh... -.-'

[RockSidi]

@TheSkellaish Well done my friend...I agree..."or Sammy Hagar can't sing Jump because it was made to David Lee Roth"....LOL...ALL POINTLESS BULL SHIT!

[walkerchino1HD]

the new member of nightwish??

[KtangMC]

I am so pissed that I missed this!!!!!!

[SetsuMeronpan]

Awesome !

[mishkyn910]

The chord sounds weird...not sure about this...but the concert was AWESOME!

[Nwandale]

Anette is so awesome!!

[fumfulapenguin]

this is the best version.

[CrazedF1Fan]

love love love love love

[stopthemadness99]

Ooooh. Not sure why she changed the last line of the second verse. "For with the wife of his best friend, he spent his final night of freedom" is extremely significant to the song.

[dmjord412]

@stopthemadness99 mistakes happen it's no big deal.

[TheZachh]

@stopthemadness99 I noticed that too, they forgot the line and accidentally repeated the first verse. Anette and Marco kept accidentally overlapping different verses with each other. Regardless, I was thrilled to hear this song live. Anette ROCKED it!

[crimrose]

Love the harmonies between Anette and Marco here. I love that Anette sings higher there, it matches him so well. Perfect harmony.

I love Anette. I've turned from being just "okay" with her, to thinking she's fantastic. She really proved why she absolutely deserves to be in this band on Imaginaerum.

[xCynthiiaax]

I thought this song was dead when Tarja left the band. OMG IT'S SO GOOD WITH ANETTE !

[Veryy93]

@xCynthiiaax totally agree with you it sounds so much clearer compard with tarjas version simply awesome!

[MissMakko87]

I love Marcos voice. Anette is so much better than before. I used to hate, but now I kinda like her and want to listen to her live singing.

[thunderboltification]

i think now all these anette vs tarja argues should be over.

anette is singing much better than in 2007. she rocks! as well as tarja

[shogomurata]

shit!!..troy must be a member of nightwish..he's damn good.

[lordofthenoobis]

Anette and Tarja. Differences blah blah blah blah

This show kicked ass. Your argument is invalid

[lordofthenoobis]

I was there O.o

[TheMary3030]

i love annet , but this song is not for her :C

[eNomine93]

reminds me of a chipmunk-version xD

[Adrianabunbury]

@eNomine93 hahhahaahhahaha

[Adrianabunbury]

WTF ? :(

[JimKnopf15]

Hm that last chorus one step up is too high for Anette, she should sing it an octave lower.

[Darkmaru24]

i love anette ♥______♥

[makemm]

They clearly decided to have Marco sing the chorus with Anette doing backing vocals, that's why she sings it different. I like it tho, and this whole song kicks ass very much. So long Tarja.

[lacuba7]

yes,yes,improve...............­but,the epic touch of Turunen is impossible for her.The music of Nightwish is made for Tarja Turunen, with other one is to loose the time.

[run4thedemon]

@lacuba7 what can be heard especially in this song Gary Moore wrote when Tarja war about 9 years old ^^

[run4thedemon]

bloody hell - eliminate the chorus and this song kicks ass :D i love the verses, but the chorus is lame

[SymphonyOfSword2Swan]

2:21 to 2:23 Anette with that little dance and cheering on Jukka is exactly what M.Shadows did during the LBC concert. M.Shadows did a little dance and cheered on for the Rev, I dont remember exactly what song it was, It might have been walk, or beast and the harlot, i dont remember

[Bluebluememory]

for the 1st time, I feel marco can't catch up with anette!

[DamnImSoBored123]

i <3 her dress

[nightwishfan60]

LOL at Marco laughing from about 3mins

[claudiodxe]

Thank you so much, I LOVE YOU =)

[23lonelywolf]

<3 <3 Omg I missed this song so much!!! :D

[ashleywasp]

She doesn't seem anymore Anette of the 2007! She's much better. She has made​great strides ;) Finally she showed what it's worth. This band is great!

[DeanoC94]

4:12 - 4:18 - Quite possibly the cutest thing i've ever seen! Gotta love Anette! :Dx xx

[flowerzofblood]

We love you tooooo

[MrGreatObserver]

fucking great!

[celticgirl08]

what's wrong with the audience? i don't hear anybody singing nor having fun :(

[Forceptor1]

@celticgirl08 That's American crowds for you. ;)



[ChewbaccaTheGhillie]

@celticgirl08 i was so pissed about that, there were no pits either which really bummed me out. My friend and i were trying to get shit going but it was all rish old people in the front :D

[Obelix5150]

@ChewbaccaTheGhillie Why would anyone pit at Nightwish?

[sharkwithmachete2]

@celticgirl08 I was at that show and every Nightwish show in L.A. for the last 6 years. And sadly American crowds don't get into it with the exception of a few. I was absolutely rocking out for nearly the entire show but I was in the far back.

[Helene494]

She really should stick to the new songs.

[WishAtNight666]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING IT!!! :) It was a good idea to film the monitor!

[hfnbennie]

last part marco lost text :D: XD im always was sceptic but this version is way way better she sings so beautifulll on this concert :D

[AveburyEddie]

Awesome :)



[MavOnTour]

I don't really know how I say it in english but... I love it how Anette is singing the second voice! *_*

[MrDajx]

@MavOnTour Backing vocals :)

[MrDajx]

Oh my God! Troy is great in this song. And Anette really proved what she can do :O

[FrkBerwald]

Thumbs up if you think Tarja did a good job and Anette really fills out her shoes :D

[pcnerd37]

Annette does better with this song than many of the older ones like Planet Hell but you can't beat Tarja's version of this song. This has always been my favorite Nightwish song.

[HoherLordAkkarin]

i think it's superfantastic!! thanks for all your great uploads!!!

[lucyd5151]

Awsome version! Troy is a wonderful add to the band!

[barrry9]

@lucyd5151 That makes it more like Gary Moore's version - as the original had uilleann pipes on it :)

[23lonelywolf]

@lucyd5151 He should be the sixth official member, his work with Nightwish is awesome!

[meela1000]

Anette is better and better!Great improvement since 2007 in my opinion!

[Forceptor1]

@meela1000 I agree 100%! She's improved TREMENDOUSLY!

[ClixyBizarre]

@meela1000 That's totally natural though, she's had so much more experience. I mean Tarja in 2004 sounded much better than she did in 1999. Anette is really on form though :D Loving this.

[MrMontilius]

@meela1000 Totally agree. No comparison between her voice now and her voice in 2008. Listen to her videos in Netherlands singing old NW songs. Fucking horrible if you compare that to this.

[Jillian]

Thanks for the upload! the chorus is not that good when they do it together, it should be one or the other but they don't seem to be on the same harmony. But well, first real concert, they have time to improve.

[siropheliac]

It would be much better if Anette and Marco didn't sound like they were singing two different songs, but on a more positive note Anette has improved a lot!

[reafras]

@siropheliac anette is back vocalling there

[94mav98]

@siropheliac Yeah. it's pretty much the only song in the current setlist that feels under-rehearsed.
