For the second time this year, Finland's Nightwish made a stop in Dallas at the Palladium Ballroom with openers and fellow countrymen Sonata Arctica.
Nightwish took the stage around 9:20 p.m. to deafening screams from quite a large crowd. Noticeably different was the fact that vocalist Anette Olzon is now sporting blond, shorter hair and this time around chose to wear a bright pink dress. She definitely stood out on-stage and rightfully so, as it is near impossible to take your eyes off her.
As was expected, they played a great set, with songs spanning most of their catalog, as the crowd chanted along. With a perfect mix of fast- and slow-paced songs, the evening seemed nicely balanced and you couldn't help but to be enchanted by the symphonic sounds that filled the venue. After a nearly one and half hour set, the band said goodbye and exited the stage. Nightwish are a must-see for anyone who appreciates European metal (or for those that want to hear something that doesn't sound like everything else) and I certainly look forward to the next visit.

Pavel, you should start checking out this series of articles:
http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2008/...
This (nearly) weekly ticket roundup features the shows at some of the bigger venues in town, including the Palladium Ballroom. You could have known about Nightwish coming to town back in May.
Of course, it was also a Pegasus Pick.

I usually check this <a href="http://www.pegasusnews.com/events/search/?c=138&c=143&c=147&c=134">bookmarked event listing</a> once a week or so... but I guess I forgot to last week.
Le sigh. :( Oh well. They'll be back, and other bands, too.
