Hehe definitely not me, I was right behind the guy though. I agree it was very amusing to watch, funny first but it got old pretty fast so no wonder Tom reacted on it at some point too by doing a little kick-in-the-air move towards him

Yup, the Helsinki one was even better in every way, totally awesome really! Everyone I talked to about it after the gig too were more than happy with it. Being a big Nightingale fan I was REALLY pleased to see them too, Dan Swanö proved he can pull of the great clean vocals live too!

Yeah this was a great addition to the set, I'm sure I wasn't the only one getting the chills from it. In fact they did have it in the original setlist for Tampere too but it got canned since the other guys didn't have anywhere to go hide during most of it (with backstage at Klubi being nowhere near or accessible from the stage and not even on the same floor of the building) - and maybe they were too thirsty too?

(btw I dunno how I imagined the other day that they would have played Blackened Dawn in Tampere since they didn't, must have been because I was watching the live DVD that morning and the song was stuck in my head hehe)
