Live Performances
The song has never been played in full live. Only the third, final part (starting from the flute solo until the end) of this song was performed during the band's Wishmaster tour in 2000/2001. It is also included on Nightwish's first DVD From Wishes to Eternity. The performances of this song, while brief, have generally been very spectacular. During instrumental parts, Holopainen was known to jump out from behind the keyboards and play "air guitar" while headbanging alongside singer Tarja Turunen and the rest of the bandmates, to much applause and cheering from fans. This is the only time he would leave his post.
"FantasMic" was not performed on subsequent tours, and was not sung by former Nightwish singer Anette Olzon.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performances:
“We do not live to think, but, on the contrary, we think in order that we may succeed in surviving.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (18831955)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a miracle,
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
