The other surprise that night was the appearance of veteran Troy Donockley, who is now a full band member. Floor has the controlled soprano that is required to perform the classic Nightwish numbers but is also very much a rock performer and knows that there are times when an edge and roughness are required to provide the emphasis. So, what would the concert be like with Floor? But, although she had performed well in the studio, the live performances I had seen seemed to show someone who possibly wasn’t fully in tune with the band and what they were trying to achieve. But, I was surprised to hear that after just two albums Anette was no longer in the band, and that she had in turn been replaced by Floor Jansen from After Forever. Her final performance with the band was captured as ‘End of An Era’, and is something that I had played time and again but felt that Anette Olzon was a better fit with the way that the band had changed into something that was more bombastic and metallic. I had loved ‘Imaginaerum’, and felt that the band had come a long way since they replaced singer Tarja Turunen. Back in 2012 I heard that Nightwish were going to be coming to New Zealand, and me and one of my daughters knew that we just had to be there.
