A blast from the past – Gandalf's last show at Tuska-festival 2001

When rebuilding up your website as well as your band from scratch it's good to search for some useful source material to create content and remind others – as well as yourself, haha – what you were doing some 25 years ago.

So look what Youtube was able to offer: a glimpse to the atmosphere and environment of Tuska-festival at Kaisaniemi, Helsinki on Saturday 14th of July 2001, where GANDALF performed – still unbeknownst to them back then – their last show so far.

So take a journey a quarter of a century back in time to hear how "Marionette" sounded 25 years ago at Tuska and what drummer and songwriter Nalle Österman had to say about their recent UK tour with Katatonia and Akercocke for Moon TV journalist Johanna Kiiski from this link.

Unfortunately this video is just in Finnish, but hey, puhu suomee, juntti (translation: speak Finnish or die, like Billy Milano from S.O.D. and M.O.D. would sing if he was from Finland) – or then you might be able to ask Youtube to do some awkward AI translations for you for laughs? Win-win!
