"End of an Era" is a DVD and double CD from the symphonic power metal quintet Nightwish. It is a recording of their live performance at the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland on October 21, 2005, the final concert of a long worldwide tour for their album "Once". During the concert the band was joined on-stage by Lakota musician John Two-Hawks, who performed "Stone People" from his album "Honor" as an introduction to "Creek Mary's Blood", which featured his voice and cedar flutes. "End of An Era" is the final Nightwish production to feature Tarja Turunen on vocals. She and the rest of the band parted mere hours after this concert. The name of the album most likely refers to this.

In addition to Nightwish own songs, three significant covers appear, their known cover of Gary Moore's song Over the Hills and Far Away and Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, but a cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes also appears.

The running time of the concert is 1 hour and 43 minutes. The DVD also contains a 55 minute documentary about the fifteen days prior to the concert, "A Day Before Tomorrow.", and a photo gallery.

Reception

The DVD was released on June 1, 2006 in Finland, and on June 2, 2006 in Germany. After only one day on sale, the DVD was certified gold in Finland.cite web | url = http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=53141 | title = NIGHTWISH: 'End Of An Era' CD/DVD Certified Gold - June 2, 2006 | accessdate = 2006-08-16 | publisher = Blabbermouth.net]
