Nightwish at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. Pure awesome. It was totally sold out and thank God there was only one opening band. My main gripe recently is almost every show I go to  we have to sit through 5 lousy local opening bands and by the time the band I am there to see comes on I am asleep and/or bored out of my mind. The opening band was Paradise Lost. Really not a bad band overall solid but pretty much not much action on stage. Nightwish came on around 10:15 opening with “Bye, Bye Beautiful” and totally rocking it out. Annette the new singer is amazing and definitely fills Tarja’s shoes, in fact I would go as far as to say I like her much better than Tarja. A definite highlight was the performance of “The Islander” which was so spot on I thought it was lip synced! They closed the show out with “I wish I had an angel” which was well done and matched every hope I had of seeing Nightwish live.
