If your a Tarja Turunen fan this is a must have item as it's her final performance with the band before they sold out and fired her to hire a singer with a more pop sounding voice to gain more mass appeal. The only question is should you buy the DVD or blu-ray. Unfortunately, the answer is you may as well buy the DVD instead and save a few bucks because the blu-ray isn't high definition. Technically the video is 720p which is High definition. However, it's not really true 720p. Instead it's actually SD 480p which has simply been scaled up to 720p. This means it only has the detail and clarity of 480p which is the same as a regular DVD. Apparently they didn't have the wisdom and foresight to film the concert with HD cameras. This is typical of the bands management who seem to consistently make such bad decisions. Anyway, I will still give it 3 stars because if you don't already own the DVD or can't find the DVD available anywhere, there's nothing wrong with buying the blu-ray. However, don't expect any additional video or audio quality over the regular DVD.Read full review
Let me begin this review by saying I am a huge fan of the band and this concert. This truly was the "End of an Era", as this recording is the final performance with original front-woman Tarja Turunen. On to the quality that can be expected- this is miles ahead of the DvD version, which I own. Compared to the DvD version, this version has more color (whereas the DvD has a "washed out" look all around). The sound is great, and the overall video quality is great with one minor issue. While the video matches most of the screen, the aspect ratio seems to be off. On the sides, there are minor black bars (from top to bottom) and it seems like the black bars increase slightly during certain camera changes. Besides that issue, the product is fantastic and I am extremely happy with it.

The sound is very good over the DVD version has options for 2 channel stereo and 5.1 channel Dolby. The video looks great, I expected no less. The show is spectacular, the last concert with Tarja Turunen playing the best songs and comes with a bonus video of the backstage. It would also have subtitles preferred but not necessary if you're a fan of Nightwish. Definitely recommend it.
This is a fantastic live concert. This band is amazing.
