Nightwish @ House of Blues, Las Vegas

"The Poet and the Pendulum" part of the song. I wish I could have gotten the whole song, but you know that YouTube by now only allows up to 10 minutes (this song is 14 minutes long!).

ah well. still amazing concert though. :)
I was so glad that they finally came to Vegas!
best first [symphonic metal] concert experience of my life...well almost (if only I had a chance to meet them up close! urrgh)

but still...at least I got to keep Emppu's guitar pick! :DDDDD

one question.. was that concert full? I just want to have hope they will come back again.. I sadly missed them that day

[Cyndane]

@101evfan I would say that the floor area was full, but the top deck with all the seats wasn't. There were plenty of seats left behind on the top row, and I think only 2 or 3 rows were filled. Nightwish will have another world tour once they release their "Imaginarium" film and album. But I'm not sure if they're coming back to Las Vegas. I hope they do!

@Cyndane why are they asses about not taking videos? were gonna do it anyway lol

[Cyndane]

@feelingsorry101 I don't know, that's HOB policy.

just don't get caught.

[feelingsorry101]

so i was wondering. it says no cameras at the house of blues....now are they like complete ass holes about it or would i be able to get awesome vids like this one? xD please write back :) haha. im desperate

[Cyndane]

@feelingsorry101 @XxEmoSoapxX In fact, I spent like, nearly half of the time that Apocalyptic was playing just taking pics and videos of them. xD. I think I payed more attention to trying to capture them on camera than just enjoying the show. I couldn't resist; I had to keep on taking photos and videos of them (especially whenever the band members would run up to the edge of the stage). But then I also did my best to enjoy them without whipping out my camera all the time. :)

When Anette sang The Siren I was blowen away! She did an amazing job! That concert rocked!

[LissaMonster]

Thanks for posting! I was there, forward and slightly to the left. Do you have anymore from this show?

[101evfan]

Oh really? Wow. I hope they do come back! If they don't.. I'm going to have to go see them in Hollywood.. I love them so much! And yes! I'm so excited for the album :D "Storytime" is already on youtube.

[feelingsorry101]

@Cyndane man that sucks ass. haha ill try not to get caught. wish me luck :P

[feelingsorry101]

@Cyndane well i wanna go to the escape the fate concert in october and i would LOVE to take pictures and videos. I looked at the page where theyre selling tickets and it said no cameras...so...should i hide the camera in my shoe xD hopefully i get lucky like you aha :D GAAH im so stoked!

[Cyndane]

@feelingsorry101 this is for the Dir en Grey concert, huh? it really depends. At the Utada concert, the security were like hawks. I was able to get pics and videos anyway, though, but then again I tried my best to hide my camera, haha. At the Dir en Grey concert w/Evaline and Apocalyptica, the security was so lax. I was able to get pics and videos of Dir en Grey and Apocalyptica close up front.
