It was 17 years ago, she had way more energy then- the whole band did and the Symphonic arrangement was superb. When did they last play with an orchestra?
Man, I just love Sharon. I saw them in Mexico lying this song and it was the best version that Ive heard of The Promise. I was also at Elements and it was good but that one in Mexico was fantastic. Sharon has something that just touches you. I guess people calle it talent or even magic. She was touched from birth
+Eduardo Cervantes This is one of the best performances of one of their best songs. I want to believe you that the Mexico gig was even better. I just wish the studio recording would be more like this. As good as the performance is, I don't like the recording much. Hope they will record it again some time.
Amazing!! I really hope to hear them perform this live sometime. I saw this a couple of months ago and they were incredible!! I was SO impressed with how she sounded on Deceiver of Fools. WICKED SHARON! :D was so there ;).
This is almost to good to be true :) Saw them live 3 days ago and it was the most well spent money that i've ever spent. In other words, The best night in my life
why is al the real metal disapearing... i mean, this WT, the old nightwish etc.... don't get me wrong, i'm also a fan of al the new stuff, but i miss this!
Stop crying about the old WT. If you had seen any of the Santuary Tour concerts or at least follow the band and read about it you would know the old WT is still alive and kicking. Fake fans are fake.
@Firnisal Actually she can still sing like that, she just only uses this Voice on the old songs and another on the new :) But on the old songs like Deceiver Of Fools, she still sings and sounds as amazing as here, I've seen them live this summer and they're as awesome as ever :D
Sharon is amazing at this performance!! Does anyone else think those strange beanstock things are creepy?? Anyway Great Performance Sharon!!! Love this song!
@DenAdelFan33 Have you gotten a chance to see them yet? I did exactly what you suggest (fly from California to the Netherlands to see Sharon and WT) in April -- and it was worth it! They also have new European tour this Spring. Hopefully they'll come back to the US eventually too.
@wishmaster04666 people like you should stop whining! I saw a concert of them last week and they where playing almost the entire Mother Earth album! They are still the same, their latest cd is just a bit different. And if it's really that big of a deal, go and find another Gothic Metal band(Paradise Lost for example)
the best performance of The promise! I love her voice here!
great song, beautiful voice

Take me back to the first albums... Nothing beats Enter and Mother Earth. ICONIC
me too
I love Mother Earth more
Enter is grandeur!
The golden years. I miss you Sharon
This has all the power and dark majesty of an Opera.... I'm in awe.
Wow, Sharon has such a gorgeous and powerful voice. It's rare for a singer to sound better live then they do on the album :)
yeah, the only other example i have off the top is the 2005 download festival recording of meshuggah
I miss the wiccan/pagan era of Within Temptation so much it matches them to a T. Also Sharon is an angel I'm convinced
Saw WT Live last week. I swear Sharon is one of the greatest singer of the world
Her voice had, for lack of a better term, more of an "edge" here. I absolutely love it.
It was 17 years ago, she had way more energy then- the whole band did and the Symphonic arrangement was superb. When did they last play with an orchestra?
DAMN! HER VOICE IS UNIQUE!
I love it how it says 'Dark Wings' at the end, instead of 'The Promise'. :P
Esa voz unica poderosa con su cara angelical es perfecta
This is the best live performance I have ever witnessed
what a voice!!! Going to see them on the 14th and 15th of april in A'dam!
I just hope that in upcoming shows they will play songs from all their albums...
One of her best live performances.

it is called charisma.Sharon is S.P.E.C.I.A.L - 1 4 1 12 8 6 10 :)
Hail to SHARON. A truly symphonic metal singer.
Pukkelpop in 2002. Amazing voice even after headbangs !

At long last! The songs that kept me sane
Amazing!! I really hope to hear them perform this live sometime. I saw this a couple of months ago and they were incredible!! I was SO impressed with how she sounded on Deceiver of Fools. WICKED SHARON! :D was so there ;).
Amazing voice. Incredible. . . .!
That amazing Sharon could call the cows in from another country! Wow!
She's like a banshee at 7:00. INCREDIBLE. 😳🙀💞
She's a Music Goddess

It gives me chills
Probably her best song. Try other live versions, there are few very good.

2:39 goosebumps all over. my god what a voice.
Speechless!
man i cant beleive that they have been around since 1996!
why is al the real metal disapearing... i mean, this WT, the old nightwish etc.... don't get me wrong, i'm also a fan of al the new stuff, but i miss this!
Commercial things bring more money.
I listen to this song whenever Im at the Gym!
I hear an angel singing
Muito massa
I wish that she will never lose her voice.
Thankfully In 2023 her voice was still as beautiful as ever.
wow! what a voice!
I agree. Did you meet the bad after the show? They're so nice and down- to- earth and Sharon is a darling :) .
simplesmente fantastico, sem mais
Come mi piace questa canzone !!! :D WT Rules !!!!
Stop crying about the old WT. If you had seen any of the Santuary Tour concerts or at least follow the band and read about it you would know the old WT is still alive and kicking. Fake fans are fake.
Excelente voz

Actually no. This performance is from a TV rip, although you can find some songs of this same concert in the Mother Earth DVD.
Sharon is magical woman ! Sharon is fantastic Singer and beautiful Angel WT !Temtation is super group No.1 in the World !
Absolutely brilliant! And if my gf looked and dressed like that I`d never have her wear anything else ;)
Love❤️
THIS IS FUCKIN LIVE :O BEST VOICE EVER

soy colombiano pero excelente banda lastima estos ultimos años aya cambiado
I think The Unforgiving would be so much better if Sharon sang like that.
It would not have worked, she said that herself.
Todo es muy buena tio
Pukkelpop 2003
but in the silent force tour there isn't the song "the promise".......
nice video brother
so want to play with my sister (within temptation)

Reminds me of Annie Lennox at Freddy Mercury's Tribute.
@wishmaster04666 I miss too :(
No not the blue around her eyes i like it too i mean the beanstocks behind her
where was this?
did they perform in Colombia?? =P great
Where and when is this concert? I like to see all of it.
+HauntedOne18 pukkelpop but dont know the year
+Rob Lassche +HauntedOne18 2003 apparently, as that's written in the description
This performance can also be seen on "the Mother Earth tour live" dvd
y comparar con el nuevo within temptation :::.. triste
Totalmente de acuerdo. Qué fácil es que una banda cambie para mal, pero lo contrario no pasa casi nunca :(
The dance...
Astonishing how many non fans waste precious time out of their life typing comments about bands they don't even like.
Raistlink345, No it doesn't good guess though.
It is my cousin's name also a random name i made up at the time
