End of an Era is a live recording of a Nightwish performance at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland on October 21, 2005, and released in 2006. Both an album and a DVD of the performance were released. The title "End of an Era" was chosen because this was the final concert of a long worldwide tour for the album Once; however, to fans it was more significantly the final concert with vocalist Tarja Turunen, who had been with the band for nearly a decade. She was fired mere hours after the concert.
During the concert, the band was joined on-stage by Lakota musician John Two-Hawks, who performed the song Stone People from his album Honor as an introduction to Creek Mary's Blood, which featured his voice and cedar flutes.
Two film music cues by Hans Zimmer were included in the recording: a short clip of Red Warrior at the start of Dark Chest of Wonders, and All of Them! for the curtain call at the end of Wish I Had An Angel.
