An intimate, two-hour documentary of Nightwish’s innermost-workings – included in their upcoming Showtime, Storytime DVD – is a story about what happens when persistence and desire pushes towards dreams. Directed by Ville Lipiäinen (30 Seconds To Mars, HIM) and shot with seventeen cameras at the Wacken Open Air Festival in front of 85,000 fans, the 110-minute live performance by Finland’s most beloved rockers Nightwish was the first of three final shows of the band’s 2013 “Imaginaerum World Tour” which consisted of 104 concerts in 34 countries and a total audience of over 1.5 million fans around the globe.

A fascinating if heavily one-sided documentary about the legendary Finnish symphonic metal band's sudden transition between vocalists during a tour of the US.
It's one-sided because the former vocalist, Anette Olzon, denied use of any of her footage to be used. So we don;t get her side of the situation.
What we do get is Dutch vocal virtuoso Floor Jansen coming in and completely blowing away all prevous Nightwish vocalists. The title refers to the alleged amount of time Jansen had to learn so many Nightwish songs.
Her climactic rendition of 'Ghost Love Score' will raise the hairs on the arms of anybody watching, and leave you with no doubt as to who the true singer for Nightwish should be.
