Nightwish have released a live video for their 2004 track Wish I Had An Angel.

The song originally appeared on the band’s fifth studio album Once, with the footage taken from the live End Of An Era package which was released today on 2CD, 3LP and Blu-ray via Nuclear Blast.

The concert film features vocalist Tarja Turunen and was captured at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland, on October 21, 2005 – the band’s final show in support of Once.

Wish I Had An Angel was the final song on the night and the last time Turunen sang with the band.

A statement reads: “It is set to give you goosebumps – yet it crowns the end of the Tarja chapter with a unique show that could hardly have been more spectacular. 

“The setlist is stunning and contains 18 hymns such as the opening Dark Chest Of WondersSleeping Sun, Nemo and Bless The Child, through to the final Wish I Had An Angel.

“If you do not already own this live masterpiece, you can now look forward to the extensive new edition.”
