Nightwish - Sleeping Sun - Classic Live performance - Netherlands

Classic Live performance of Sleeping Sun - Netherlands - Paradiso Amsterdam 28-08-2002.

This is one of the BEST Nightwish performances from their Century Child Tour. They sounded more power-metal before the Once Album in 2004, but this is one of their Classic Ballads that Tarja always knows how to sing in so many different and beautiful ways (She actually created several different aproaches to this song since it was firstly recorded in 1998, with an almost mezzo-soprano timbre, always very dark, then she re-recorded the song in 2005, mixing the more operatic vocals in the chorus with a more soft singing style in the verses between the chorus, and also a slower tempo. When it comes to live performances, she also sings in both ways, and even creates new different arrangements to fit the music ).

I recently uploaded what, in my opinion, is the Best Live Version of Sacrament of Wilderness by Nightwish. Don't miss it! ;)

Nightwish are Amazing! : Tuomas Holopainen - keyboards ; Tarja Turunen - Vocals ; Emppu Vuorinen - Guitars ; Jukka Nevalainen - Drums ; Marco Hietala - Bass. 2012

In 2001 I was on my first Nightwish concert and it was the most beautiful one. I will never forget how awesome Tarja sung and how close the band was back then. I miss those days and Tarja in the band, without her it is not the same. Just another band with a voice you can here it everywhere.

Thank you very much for the upload.

@lacrimanigra666 Thank you so much for comment :)

(I wish I could have seen them at that time too ... )

Best wishes!

this tour was awsome beacuse her voice still had some of that Oceanbon-Wishmaster quality to it and it was the birth of her "lighter" voice (Nemo-ish)

but this concert is awsome and interesting in paticular beacuse someone in the front was smoking some strong weed and Tarja stated that the band got "contact high" ... lol kind of an interesting fact x]

but this is one of there best concerts on this tour =D lol

[soundslikeblue]

This concert only had a little problem in my opinion... this is the only time I saw them performing Sacrament of Wilderness in a lower key (in Tarja Era) because they always played it live in the original key!

If you want watch my video of Sacrament of Wilderness (one of my best ones I think!) lol

[IvanTsarina]

i love her voice. she is awesome but i would like her to sing like that again.. i know she finds her current singing more comfortable but the Oceanborn/Wishmaster style was something out of this world!
