btw I'm turning 50 in a few weeks so Imma be equal parts maudlin and reminiscent of things that were relevant 25 year ago for.....a bit

Rose is playing BG3 on her new laptop so I'm watching old concert videos from Cornerstone festival in the 90s on youtube

comforting and also leads to googling bands

anyway my learning was that Troy Donockley, pipes and flute for Iona, moved on to Nightwish and good for him

after Nick Begg of Kajagoogoo ("Too Shy") was their bass player for like 20 years

anyway there's this youtube channel of a guy who recorded video of concerts between 1990 and 2012 digitizing his VHS to put up, and he has full recordings of concerts at this festival between 92 and 99 where I can be like "I'm in the pit below the stage RIGHT. THERE."

right. fucking. there.

I have photos to match

the wonders of modern technology

Oh man, I haven’t kept up with Nightwish in forever

same tbh, I had no idea
