The second half of this song is one of the very few where I prefer Tarja's version to Floor. It's like she's chanting incantations and hurling spells into the darkness. Spine-tinglingly great!
Absolutely, there is something unique about Tarja. Nice apocalyptic ending with her and that toxic green light and fountains of steam in the background - no matter if she banished something or wanted to bewitch us all to get a satisfied grin in our faces, her spell worked on me! 🙃😀
We need them to react to "planet hell" from the End of an Era DVD. They also need to feel the power of Tarja and Anette, we love Floor but NW has had three stages and they are all great. 🖤
This is still my favorite version of this song. I remember back when this dvd came out I had a hard time getting it here in the US but it was worth the trouble. Both Floor and Tarja are amazing in this song but for some reason i just like this version.
You're right, both Tarja and Floor are amazing, so is Anette. All three are important to Nightwish in their own ways. I love your reactions, they're pure from someone that loves the genre, that loves this band
Tuomas is going "all in" because he knows as soon as this show is over he will give "the letter" to Tarja and this is the last time they will be on stage together.. Can't imagine the shitstorm going on through his mind in that performance.
actually, he claimed that he was naive enough to believe that blow back would be minimal...considering how popular Tarja was with fans, critics, industry in general, he really was awfully naive..but then he fired Annete with an email while she was stuck in the hospital
What I've always wondered was why. Tarja's contract was up in a year and she'd already said she was leaving. So why not just let it go? Either there was a huge fight leading to an epic break or everybody was naive. Tuomas for thinking he could fire her on a whim and Tarja for assuming he wouldn't dare. Anette was a completely different issue. Too much said and done until they stopped communicating and everybody walked away bitter. Would now like to see their reaction to the same song in Buenos Aires (2018?) with Floor. Not just because it's Floor, but because those people in BA are crazy! :-)
@@beldin2987 .. Tuomas really spun the facts and needlessly claimed that Argentinian cultural standards combined with money and love were a bad combination..xenophobia is not the way to deal with your challenges
Omg this is classic 😍 I have one hidden gem of Nightwish - Beauty of the beast (go for the lyrics video,there is no good quality live),it's one of their best songs but so underrated. That would be great reaction. Thanks guys and hello from Slovakia 😍😘
@@johndevisser903 She was even quite good in the studio, i just listened to "Poet and the Pendulum" 2-3 months ago and was really surprised how good the LP version with her sounds. But live on stage she was just a disaster.
Yes ...this is one of the ultimate best shows they have ever had....in many (all) ways. The uploaded all the emotions during this concert and clearly showed them to the audience which was able to see and feel it too so well. Next day the fans were totally shocked....and it was an awesome NW Era that ended. After a while Tuomas wrote "the Poet and the Pendulum".
oooh young power in stage i love it. little fact nightwish and finland heavy scene. finland heavy scene start 1985 when 2 metal band stone and tarot ( marko hietala and his brother set up) start. marko is finland heavy metal face and grand old man and pioneer of course. nightwish start 1996 and tarja turunen only 18 years old was first heavy metal female singer and pioneer that way of course. tuomas holopainen interesting heavy music,when he was student exchange in kansas usa, only 15 years old. kansas family take young tuomas to concert where playing metallica and guns and roses same time ( how awesome) finland have now 70 heavy bands / 100000 people. so this 5,5 million finland that is almoust 4000 heavy metal band. world record again. long live heavy. thanx and have great day there.
I have the DVD of this concert. And yes Tarja is my favorite and when I started listening to the band Nightwish, Tarja was part of that. My heart was broken when I heard the news that she wasn't part anymore of this band! Night wish have a great singer again and that is Floor Jansen. She is Dutch and so am I. She is doing great and she have a great voice. I love u Floor! But I love Tarja too and I am a great fan of her. 🙏
Nightwish Only three US cities in the US for 2021 Lowell, MA 10-7-2021 Tickets on sale now. Let's sell the place out and give this band the credit they deserve in the United States.
dismissing her after she already quit in 2004 ,but stayed as a favor to Tuomas to wrap up tour and find a replacement you mean...Tuomas who was already living on borrowed time and did not have the honor of making a joint public announcement, as she wanted to , in the first place...day of liberation for the siren
@@xeleelex146 Her manager telling the band she's not going to rehearse with them in that year because "she doesn't need it" Also him signing a contract for a solo career while she was in the band without her permission
yeah! Awesome presentation. Susie, your are gorgeous, but I absolutely love your make up today, let us see it closer on Instagram, pleaseeee! Big hugs for you, guys, and lots of love.
I actually prefer this version over the Floor version. There are a few songs I think that Tarja does better than Floor: this one and Wish I had an Angel are just a couple.
I can not say anyone was ever a better woman to pair with Marko on stage than Tarja! And in 2024 They are still magic together. So happy on stage. So free to be their silly selves. No need to hide from each other or the audience. The love pours both ways from the audience to the stage,and from the stage to the audience. That mutual love and acceptance is something I hope somehow to experience 1st hand.
I love Tarja but Floor turned this song from a 7 to a 10. I just think Floor ads so much more versatility to the band. Tuomas can now write a song and know-how he wants the vocals to sound and know Floor can nail it. On a side note, Marco and Floor's vocals work together perfectly. The harmonies are insane.
@@seannightingale3571 if only tuomas had written better songs for floor...oceanborn and wishmaster are the best because of the heavy sound and power metal
I wish they would show more of Tarja headbanging! There is something about women headbanging that just drives me crazy! And she is really freaking good at it too!
@@matiasbelmonte4576 what kind of logic is that😂. What does it have to do with "better"? Besides, I wouldn't exactly call the early albums the most powerful, but that's also a matter of opinion.
@@sm1echel Don't know about powerful or not, but to me they're surely better. Everything after Dark Passion Play pretty much suck. Tuomas decided he wanted to be Hans zimer and the songs got completely boring. Hearing the new album was painful. And poor Empuu, barely does anything anymore.
Of course Tarja is great, she was in the end maybe the biggest reason why Nightwish became so famous, and if she were not that good there mostly hadn't been that much drama and hate against Tuomas when she was fired. I just read in the last days that even the prime minister of Finland had something to say about it
@@NicholasCorvin But i guess a lot of "fans" don't even really care about who writes the songs and don't know that it was mostly Tuomas who wrote them all. If they knew that wouldn't have hated him so much since imho it way easier to replace a good music than a great composer
hi i wanted to watch this cosert at least 3 or more times to confirm just notcied that Tuomas sings along with the lead singer but in this last consert he did sing but only with Marco when Tarja sang he kept his mouth closed and there is an overall disconnect from the boys and Tarja she loved / still loves fans and that was her focus
So crazy to think that other than Tarja, everyone in the band knew this was the end of the line with Tarja fronting the band. They all hugged and Tuomas handed her a letter from the band (mostly from him though) firing her when this show ended. Interestingly, Elize Ryd from Amaranthe was one of the potential replacements, however they felt she was too young and inexperienced at the time.
@Cody W what @nico d say is so true 👍 Floor was with her band a support act of a NW concert. They like Floors singing so after Tarja's dismissal they contact her but she said no because she don't want to leave her own band.
Please react to the original Visions of Atlantis it's really good the sad part is the female singer Nicole sadly passes way in 2012 please react to new dawn the original version it is my favorite versions
the buenos aires version of this song with floor is infinitely better! she adds a whole other level of grit and expression to the song. but marko and emppu killed it as always
Fuu... I hadn't heard this version... Love this version, tarja is great, think I might prefer the floor version but it's close, but Marco, Holy crap, Marco!! :D so much more grrrrrrrrrr
I think that Tarja's voice is perfect to this song!! Tarja and Marco are the best duet. Next: planet hell. Thanks!
Tarja still does colour cordination between the mic and her outfits. A woman of many talents.
I love Floor, but this one will forever be my favorite version of Slaying the dreamer... Everything about it is perfect!
THIS VERSION IS EPIC!!!
The second half of this song is one of the very few where I prefer Tarja's version to Floor. It's like she's chanting incantations and hurling spells into the darkness. Spine-tinglingly great!

I always think that in the latter section, Tarja is emitting a forcefield of some kind.
A very powerful performance by them all.
We need them to react to "planet hell" from the End of an Era DVD. They also need to feel the power of Tarja and Anette, we love Floor but NW has had three stages and they are all great. 🖤
I also love Anettes version of Planet Hell.....live from SIRS Studios......reaction would be great!
As a finn and a fan from band's early days I love Tarja so much💙🇫🇮🤘
Next one should be wishmaster. An iconic song from nightwish
This is still my favorite version of this song. I remember back when this dvd came out I had a hard time getting it here in the US but it was worth the trouble. Both Floor and Tarja are amazing in this song but for some reason i just like this version.
Tarja is always great singer for me. And that bass sound is incredible.
Wishmaster, bless the child and the siren from the same end of an era concert 🎵
I love seeing Tarja headbang. This is a great performance.
Planet hell, wishmaster and the siren - with taria
Tarja*
This is The original frist singer of nightwish.....tarjia turunen,for me better to Floor Jansen
Tarja and Floor sang together a Gary Moore cover that Nigthwish had recorded. "Over the Hills and Far Away".
Yeah
Watching Tarja "totally losing it" in the intro will remain one of the best impressions I have seen of headbanging.
You're right, both Tarja and Floor are amazing, so is Anette.
All three are important to Nightwish in their own ways.
I love your reactions, they're pure from someone that loves the genre, that loves this band

Tarja , Anette , Floor , they are Goddess!
Anette was just a pop singer in the wrong band
@@johndevisser903 She was even quite good in the studio, i just listened to "Poet and the Pendulum" 2-3 months ago and was really surprised how good the LP version with her sounds. But live on stage she was just a disaster.
Tarja is a one trick pony. I find her to fucking boring. And Anette... I have friends who sing better.
Anette live ? yeah right ...
Anette had the attitude, Tarja had the range
And Floor has a mix of both
That being said I prefer Anette's version of Scaretale over Floor's
Yes!! That pristine classical voice❤. Thanks for reacting to this
so beautiful, indeed
Marko yelling as the drums starts: "VITTU JEE !" and "PERKELE!" at the end 🤣
Which means what?

They all so young and full of P&V. Love this concert.

Yes! And Ever dream. And Sleeping sun
Well, they were written for Tarja's voice :)
Also Kinslayer, 10th Man Down and Stargazer....
Foul language by Marko in the beginning. And at the end. Marko called Tarja's dress the bumble bee. This was an outstanding performance.
yah, thats his style...so much class...you can see and hear the venom in his performances of the songs from DPP.....just sad
those were the times when nightwish was really nightwish.

I LOVE TARJA!!!
Ai great Song..tarjas singing as Marcos IS so great.
TARJA!
I'm tired of hearing about Floor I tell you one thing I prefer nightwish w/ tarja also I finally her very attractive
And you are free to do so😂
Her voice is too thin for me. Like Floor much better
Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala :) :) :)
I love ever dream from this show, probably the best live version of the track...of course opinions vary hah
Oh yes the end of an era this hard for me to watch knowing what happens after the show I still like this song though
Tarja is love. 🖤
So cute.
even in her weakened state, she delivers for the fans
Really love the Buenos Aires/Decades version, but for me this is still the best version. Listen to her staccato especially!
