This album has the typical "good" live feeling, like both "End of an Era" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" got. It shows that these Finns can manage everything, even changing the front-lady. I was indeed very impressed over this album. The overall impression is that if it lives (if only a little) Symphonic Metal-fan in you, and you like it live, it would be the one "live"-album to buy!

The sound is like the one you know will come from Nightwish, fine and perfect for a show/live-CD-recording. I actually would have bought this if I had to choose between "Dark Passion Play" and this one, because the live-version of "The Poet and The Pendulum" sounds a lot better than the studio-version.
It also includes some tracks released on this or as bonus/b-side.

The DVD-part is a documentary. It also include some kick-ass Music-videos, like "Bye, Bye Beautiful"

I think that this is a live-album everyone would wan't to own (at least if you like the Nightwish style/this part of Metal.
Believe me, it IS worth it!
