This is one of the most comprehensive documentary DVDs I have seen. It will really take into what makes Nightwish.

The documentary is the main feature and clocks in at over two hours. Toumas is the heart and soul of Nightwish and this is an in depth view into his mind. There are all kinds of off stage antics and interview all throughout. They finally explain the truth behind the break-up rumors that proliferated through the internet a while back. This will answer almost any question you have ever had about the band.

This also features two videoclips. End of All Hope makes its first DVD appearance here. A nice video and Over the Hills and Far Away is also on here, but it has been on other DVDs.

The bonus concert footage is the real treat. The footage from Norway is "bootleg" footage with no re-mastering or anything. The real gem is seeing them cover W.A.S.P.'s Wild Child. Now there is the Summer Breeze footage. This is presented in widescreen and in brilliant 5.1 audio. The mix is just fantastic. You can feel the bass thundering through your body all the time. Each person has a very clear mix and the way it surrounds you is just fantastic. I only wish we could have the entire concert like this and not just six songs.

The bonus live CD is the same six songs from the Summer Breeze performance on the DVD plus two more additional songs. It is a great live recording and a fantastic addition to your From Wishes to Eternity Live album.

The bottom line is that this is a must have for Nightwish fans. I don't see how any fan of the band can not enjoy this release.
