After touring for a year and a half throughout every corner of the world and leaving fans of all nationalities breathless, the time has come for Nightwish to immortalise their Endless Forms Most Beautiful tour on DVD. Vehicle Of Spirit features not only two concerts in full length, but also plenty of bonus material.
Os finlandeses do Nightwish trouxeram um tom épico na noite de sexta-feira (25) no Rock in Rio 2015. Banda querida dos brasileiros, graças também ao carisma das cantoras que já passaram no grupo (Floor Jensen, a atual desde 2013, substituiu Anette Olzon, que havia, por sua vez, substituído Tarja Turunen), o Nightwish tem o foco mais melódico, com visual gótico e uma propensão a transformar cada canção em uma fábula. Foi um show que o público fiel esperava, contando ainda com a participação de Tony Kakko, vocalista da banda Sonata Arctica.

The Islander (Edit). The Islander (Full Lenght Video) and Making of "The Islander" - Documentary. The music video was filmed in Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland, in October 2007, and Holopainen commented that they at first didn't plan to make a third video for the album, but when they were offered Finnish beauty, they couldn't resist it. He has also said that for once the lyrics actually fits with the video, which is "a sort of Lapp wilderness combined with the surrealism of Salvador Dalí". The video features guest musician Troy Donockley. The video has a steampunk theme with airships, and features the old sailor (the Islander of the title) walking along a beach through the fog dragging a boat behind him and haunted by ghosts of his past.[2] Later we see him in a flashback as a young man playing the uilleann pipes (portrayed by Troy Donockley) with trees blossoming after he ends his life by dropping anchor and being relieved of his burdens.
In the video for "Bye Bye Beautiful", the four male members of the band are replaced by four female models throughout the verses. Despite speculation, Holopainen said in a Finnish interview that the female doubles in this video have nothing to do with the removal of Tarja Turunen from Nightwish, saying "It's just pure self-irony and rock 'n' roll". The four models are referring to the rumor going around the fans that Anette Olzon, the new singer, was chosen to attract more fans because of her looks. In the video, they make fun of the rumor. The video was released on September 27, 2007.

Music
End of an Era é um DVD e CD duplo da banda finlandesa de symphonic power metal Nightwish. Nuclear Blast gravou sua performance ao vivo no Hartwall Areena em Helsínquia, Finlândia, em 21 de outubro de 2005, o show final de uma longa turnê mundial para seu álbum Once. O show da banda foi acompanhado no palco pelo músico John Two-Hawks, que realizaram "Stone People" de seu álbum Honor como uma introdução para "Creek Mary's Blood", ao som de sua voz e flautas de cedro. End of an Era é a produção final do Nightwish com Tarja Turunen nos vocais. Ela e o resto da banda se separaram poucas horas após este concerto. O nome do álbum, provavelmente, refere-se a esse desfecho.
