Thank you for a nice shout-out, but especially because you decided to continue exploring Nightwish music. The multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley was already established (together with the band Iona as well as many other collaborations) when he started collaborating with Nightwish, back in 2007. In 2013, after the concert in Wacken, he and Floor Jansen were invited as permanent members of the band .
You're very welcome Gabriel, I'm really enjoying learning more about them and the Nightwish army are certainly helping me with that! Wishing you a most Flutifull day! 😄🙏
@@ClaireHoldichHaha, Tarja had four outfits in a show in her heyday times. Try the Nightwish's lyric video "Harvest", and see what flute players can really do. 😅👍
Great performance, I have seen it before and guessed that you would enjoy it. Emppu the guitarist is a natural comedian, he’s always up to something! You can’t fault musicians like this can you? You also can’t fault their audience, they always show their appreciation of whatever the band does which fuels the performance to be what it is - magical! Enjoyed your reaction and breakdown, looking forward to the next one 🌹
Lovely reaction and analysis. This was only recorded as an instrumental. Tuomas did originally write lyrics, but was never satisfied with them, so it became an instrumental before recording it. For next Nightwish, might I suggest Elvenjig/Elvenpath. Enjoy!
I also think music without singing is beautiful, but even more beautiful when Floor is there on stage too!! she doesn't have to sing, her presence brings so much more.
As with all of Tuomas' writing, the spaces between the sounds are as important as the sounds themselves. It's this kind of attention to detail that gives Nightwish their unique sound. Much love my friend 🤗
Hello Claire, I think nobody has yet recommended NIGHTWISH - Edema Ruh Live Baltic Princess Cruise. More Troy, more pipes and whistles. Rgds from Germany
Dear Claire. Thougts from a humble scout in Nightwish Army eastern swedish group. Tuoamas the keabord player is called "Metal Mozart" and the deeper you go in your rabbit hole you will find out why. Every word, every note, has a meaning... They never sing "I love you" but most of their songs is about love or lost love... in one way or an other. Welcome.
T'riffic reaction Claire. I really enjoyed your insights, and it only further enhances my regard and pride towards Troy Donockley. While this is going on, Floor is having a costume change. Or a wee. Lol. Take care Love.
Hey Claire, thanks for pointing this out in this video. I love Troy's contribution to the magical sound of Nightwish. Nightwish is so amazing, incredible magical. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🤘🫡
What a great reaction and the kudos goes to Troy as well, I could never of couse play any flute. He said you have to be slighly mad to play the instrument(Uillean pipes).
Every instrument has a unique voice, and in my opinion, classical instruments are used far too rarely in modern music. I recently heard a rock song with a harp on it and it sounded just fantastic. Unfortunately I have no idea which band the song is from, nor what the title of the song is.
Absolutely! I am working with a harpist who plays in a folk band and also plays jazz! It's all possible and can really enhance the music. Thanks for watching! 😄🙏
When Nightwish uses the full orchestra for their backing tracks, you will hear flutes and harps as well as all the other brass, woodwinds, percussion, and strings, although some is played by Tuomas, who apparently likes to play strings on the keyboards. I have always liked The Moody Blues, who often featured the flute in their music. Absolutely beautiful. I also suggest checking out Tuomas' orchestral creation: All the Works of Nature that Adorn the World, with the video created for it. It is played by the full orchestra with a lot of Harp in the mix. Floor vocals and choirs as well as a movement featuring Troy's pipes. It is a gorgeous 30 minutes of pure music. ruclips.net/video/RnOdQ5WNZJk/видео.html
@@noname-xw4uk Oh, I just went to see a special playing of Dark Side of the moon album in a dome theater ( like a planetarium) with custom full surround video imagery and sound. Wow. I remember when it was released so many years ago.
@@ecbftl hi, I did not write about the ALBUM but the BAND The Dark Side of the Moon - Guitar, Drums, Harp and Singer. They are great👍👍Their Album was released only in May 2023
I've always loved the instrumentals Tuomas write. Their first album had a 4 part song "Lappi" which has lyrics in two parts and is mostly instrumental with different instruments for each part. A bit more recently their latest album Human :|: Nature has a second disc that is all instrumental for half an hour "All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World". Not suggesting to make a video of those but definitely something to listen to.
@Claire Holdich: Given you are a flutist, I have a band recommendation for you: The Indian folk metal band Bloodywood! Hailing from New Delhi, India, Bloodywood is a fusion of Nu-Metal like Linkin Park, electronica, and traditional Indian instruments, like the dhol drum. I highly recommend reacting to two songs: 1) Jee Veerey (Hindi for "Brave One") 2) Aaj (Hindi for "Today") A couple of things to know about the band: 1) Bloodywood is 100% independent, having no record label 2) Bloodywood is very social-minded, and every track has a righteous message 3) Karan, one of the founding members, plays a whistle/flute, along with lead guitar. Meanwhile, the lady he is dating is Archy, the "Snake Charmer," who plays Scottish bagpipes, and sings. She has put out several videos of her own, my favorite being an Indian fusion of traditional Indian instruments and traditional Indian dancing, with a Celtic flair, in a rendition of the song Toss the Feathers. 4) Bloodywood sings in Hindi and in English, and usually has subtitles in both Hindi and in English on their videos Should you decide to check out Bloodywood, I guarantee you won't be disappointed in the least.
🤩👌💥💯🎼 Being first time as a headliner in this kind of a "Metal" festival as Wacken Open Air and boldly throw an instrumental, which is quite 'folky' on the setlist rather than any other heavier track to please the metalheads in the audience. Nice reaction mi lady and keep on rockin with this magical band. Cheers from Finland. 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Yes Claire you got it right. Instrumental music is as exciting as songs, any way with such talented musicians as here. I´m glad you decided to follow with Nightwish, so here is a new subscriber too. Greets from Finland. Take care.
this concert is one of the best ever....and Argentina 2018 is dope also...a lot of older songs, so much fun and good music🎵🎶great reaction Claire I subt your channel more Nightwish please...... Ayreon and Avantasia is nice too.... ❤from the Netherlands
This is just an instrumental. If you like this, spend 3 or 4 minutes listening to the intro to Buenos Aires 2018, Swanheart, which is solo Troy on pipes. Short and segues into End of All Hope but it's just beautiful. I promise you'll love it. Troy is a magician. And on that subject, literally a magician. Info: Troy plays: Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone Troy on the pipes (in documentary "please learn the setlist in 48 hours"): "You have to be slightly insane to play them. They're not easy." TONI: Troy, the other new member, didn't have to jump in as dramatically [as Floor], but he has become an irreplaceable part of this group, too. If there's tension in the air for some reason, Troy casts a spell and magically dispels the bad vibes. EWO: Troy radiates the kind of cheerfulness that we sulky northerners can only dream of, but I guess some of his positive attitude has rubbed off on us, too. TUOMAS on touring with Troy: We start preparing about 30 minutes before the show [New York Hammerstein 2915], each of us in his or her own way. Floor changes on her stage clothes and warms up her voice in her dressing room, while we`re warming our fingers in ours. Back in the day, I used to get scared stiff before the show - it was just nauseating, pure horror. It all changed when Troy did some kind of a hypnotic trick to me in Los Angeles in 2012. I really don't know what happened during those twenty minutes, but afterwards, I haven't really panicked before going on slage,
We were hanging out with my son and his uni mates in the poolroom of Glasgow YHA, playing music over the speaker, and one of his friends resignedly commented that nobody ever chose metal. She didn't feel she could go against the grain. So I put this one on as "stealth metal", then once people seemed unphased, moved on to a bunch of other songs from Dark Passion Play. That went fine, so I slipped in a bit of Judas Priest, but I think that was a step too far...

This happened, when Floor was changing outfit, and let the boys have some fun of their own. It's hilarious.
Yes, I heard that was the case. Maybe she should have more outfits per show?! 😃🤘

ayreon valley of queens is good flute
Yesssss, a leading part, for the magician of this band.
The singing part is for the Windmaster
Watching musicians enjoying what they're creating together just takes the entire performance to a higher level. Excellent choice.
Absolutley Bill! I find it sad that, for many reasons, professionals don't always enjoy what they are doing but that's not the case here and it shows!
When Troy joined the band Tuomas truly found his musical soul mate.
As with all of Tuomas' writing, the spaces between the sounds are as important as the sounds themselves. It's this kind of attention to detail that gives Nightwish their unique sound. Much love my friend 🤗
Well said! Thank you , and thanks for watching! 😄🙏
AWEsome instrumental performance !! 🤗 [ I hadnt seen ]. Insightful analysis & cool reaction as usual. 🤓🥰
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it! 😄🙏

Glad you enjoyed it Kevin, have a flutifull day! 😄🙏
This is one of my favourites from Nightwish. Absolutely uplifting song ❤ Troy is a gift from god knows what or where 🤩. He is amazing ❤️.
Love this beautiful folky instrumental while Floor did her mid-concert costume change. Fantastic reaction. I loved it.
Thank you! Wishing you a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

This is a wonderful reaction, i take every chance i have to listen Nightwish
Goosebumps?🧐 Troygasm! (But the gasm I prefer is the Floorgasm😅)
BTW Swanheart is a great opening of Buenos Aires 2018 by Troy on uilleann pipes❤
🤣 thanks, I’ll check it out! And thanks for watching 😃🙏
