Now you have done Wacken, you will see that Tampere 2015, Wembley Arena and Buenos Aires 2018 are great concerts too and this band has earned the loyalty and respect from the army over all those years, because they are so good, from the beginning till the present day. Great reaction and greetings from the Netherlands
At 13:11 .. Floor turns to leave the stage. Notice how Tuomas rushes after her to show his utter appreciation. Wonderful sight to see them leave the stage in style. Cheers from Amsterdam!
To have an even better ending check out The Greatest Show On Earth. I prefer Tempere version and I think you'll be blown away (again).ngreat reaction again!
Nightwish is Toumas and Emmpu and Marko before he left. Floor was the missing piece that perfected his vision. How amazing is it that he has that voice to write around now.
Tampere and Wembley are from the same year, Tampere being a summer concert and Wembley performed just a few months later in December. If you want to go by the time line, Tampere would be first and it has even more breath taking finale than Wacken 2013. But at the end, it doesn't matter. They are both from the EFMB tour. Both concerts are equally amazing and each of them include songs that aren't featured in the other one.
Hi Bruce. This is a great song, especially in the live version. It's wonderful that you stuck with Nightwish after my first recommendation of 'Romanticide' back in August last year and really got to appreciate them for the fantastic band they are. The more you listen to them, the better they get. The Tampere version of this song is good too. It puts Emppu in the spotlight a bit more. You kept saying Tampa, but you probably mean Tampere. It's a city in Finland and there is some nice footage of Nightwish's 2015 show there. Come to think of it, there is one good Tampa video, called 'Sahara'. Other great shows are definitely Wembley 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018. I hope to see more Nightwish on your channel soon. Take care!
The ride imagery is more like a closing carousel ride at a fairground (as seen in the backdrop) than a battle ride. It seems to be a comparison of such a ride with life in general and its eventual inevitable end, describing how wonderfully thrilling it has all been.
When I see Floor's face at the end, maybe she's thinking about what they have accomplished that night but mayble also she's reflecting on her journey : 1 years earlier she was still recovering from her burn-out, waiting for the moment she would be capable of hitting the road again with Revamp, playing in small clubs or as openers for bigger bands such as Epica. And now, she's just finished a 2 hours long show as Nightwish's lead vocalist, as Wacken headliner, in front of 60.000 fans cheering for her
They started with a brilliant song, they ended with a brilliant song, and the middle was filled with brilliant songs. 1 of the best live gigs ever, IMO I've loved every reaction of yours to Wacken Bruce, and loved following your NW journey...Can't wait for you to react to Wembley 2015...You won't be disappointed
am 70 and have seen the best rock bands live. even met some. in US an Europe. this is one of the best concerts ever even just seeing the video. thanks from Colorado
I’ve watched this concert probably 20 times. I get choked up at the end every. single. time. I was lucky to see them in May when they toured the US. I’d love to see them at a festival.
Thank you for this Nightwish reaction. As others have mentioned, there are many other live concerts and performances to react to. You are correct. This Wacken 2013 show was something super special since this was the biggest concert Floor had done at this point, 10 months after joining the band and not yet being an official member of the group. I must say that my wife and I just saw them live in San Francisco on May 18th and, despite missing Marco, they were spectacular. Thank you again.
An amazing concert from start to finish, that we all wish we would have been in attendance. Incredible to think, every song was originally written for another singer. Floor was flawless. The band was perfect. As incredible as this show is, there is still at least as much live Nightwish that was not part of this show that is equally great. Wembley, Tempere, Buenos Aires, all have great songs you haven’t seen yet. And there are others beyond that. Keep exploring Nightwish!
At 13:11 ..notice how quickly Tuomas rushes to Floor who's leaving the stage to show his utter appreciation. Such a glorious sight to see them like that after a legendary & truly magical show. Cheers from Amsterdam!
Great summary of this special concert. The last song of the set list is the worthy conclusion of the evening. The show was almost perfect. Light, sound and pyrotechnics have been used appropriately. The sound quality and the video editing of the DVD are great. The concert will still be exciting and fresh in 2022. 👍🏻 I'm happy for everyone who was able to experience it live. Sorry for my bad English.😉
Thank yoy for your reactions to NW!! and for your comments and thoughts at the end!! Whenever you feel is time keep your reactions to NW's performances coming!!
You can.just feel the energy, the JOY of that massive crowd! Epic! But it's not your last ride, friend!! Wembley, UK, and Tampere, Finland are filled with magic too! And don't forget to look back at the End Of An Era 2005 concert...Tarja's last show w the band...you'll learn older songs, and man, is that an intense show!! Floor's windmilling technique: stretch first! Bend w hands on upper thighs and whip it! You can totally pull it off! Nightwish is an experience that changes lives...not just the music, but the lyrical meanings, and the fantastic fan base who are here to share your journey! Welcome to The Army!
Cheering here for the next concert reaction and that is from Tampere 2015. My personal favorite 🤩 great reaction and keep going, there is so much more to see from Nightwish. Enjoy the ride!
Thanks for sharing your reaction. It's a catchy tune, it keeps sticking and I find myself singing/whistling it while doing other stuff. With Nightwish there is always more to come :)
That Was something ,..... All nine realms where aligned on that night 🤩. This song has one of my favorite lines of all time : “it’s harder to light a candle easier to curse the dark instead”. My mantra for life. If life throws you shit you can sit there and grumble about it or you can try to find a solution/make the best of it. Now ,...let us continue NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
Hi Bruce. It's just wonderful that you stuck with Nightwish and got to love them. I had a feeling you would when I first recemmended them to you back in August of last year. The more you listen to them, the better they get! 'Last Ride Of The Day' is indeed a great song, especially when they play it live. The Tampere version is nice too, it puts Emppu in the spotlights a bit more. You keep saying Tampa, but I think you mean the Tampere show. Tampere is a city in Finland and there is some great footage from their 2015 show there. Wembley 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018 are a must too if you enjoy watching them play live. I hope to see more Nightwish on your channel soon. Take care!
Great reaction fella, thoroughly enjoyed all your reactions to this incredible show - and now onto Wembley, Tampere and Buenos Aires shows - can't wait 🤘
I agree this is the best live full concert I have seen with these next in order in my opinion Wembley 15 Tampere 15 Decades in Buenos Aires 18 Bloodstock 18 btw it's Tarja which you got it perfect was their 1st singer 1996-2005 then Anette 2007-2012 then the goddess Floor 2013 till present
If you want to try something from Buenos Aires 2018 you have "Dead boy's poem" (on the ballady side, brillant song and performance from everyone specially Floor and Emppu), "Devil and the deep dark ocean" (heavy), "I want my tears back" (incredibly fun version), "Slaying the dreamer" (classic metal vibes) or maybe the "Elvenjig and Elvenpath" combo (fantasy driven song with a very enjoyable start).
Galloping has that up and down motion. The song was inspired by roller coaster rides, so Gallopy works. It's usually played at or near the end of the setlist. Tarja was 1st '96-'05. Anette 2nd '07-'12. Floor replaced Anette mid tour in 2012.
Man! i really enjoyed your words at the end of their perform, Queen Floor always transmits that happyness she´s having but i hadn´t pay attention to her face like you did, the hole band is having so much fun and that´s why we the fans enojoy it so much, it´s not like a fork for them but a pleassure, they complement each other so well and that´s the key i guess, keep rocking and stay safe!
Now, watch it start to finish, no pauses, by yourself or with your significant other. I always enjoy this video. Have the CD for my car...and the CD ending is the same as the live video. I play it to the end, because I've seen it so many times, I see it in my minds eye.
I really agree with the previous recommendations, so indeed the live concert of wembley 2015 and ofcourse Buenos Aires 2018! Floor is for me such A pleasure to hear, especially live! and so flawless! So nice 2 be here in this ride together with all the fans..🤩 apart from the Incredible live performance I would also recommend the song called " Our decades in the Sun " ! It's really beautifull , with the great sensitive lyrics and powerfull voice from Floor , its worth to check it out! Thank U greetings from Kj😇🇳🇱🤘
I also love the expression on Floor's face after the end of the show. This was the biggest show of her life and she looked so pleased with how it went down. Dream Theater is a whole different thing. They are amazing and probably the most technically skilled group in the history of metal. Petrucci! Great job Bruce! Loved it. 🤘🤘🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏽☝
She said in an interview it was a big moment walking out to 82,000 people. She said knowing that they were recording it, they all worked hard. The planets definitely aligned for this.
"Last Ride of the day" in Wacken -13 makes me feel separation anxiety every fricking time I watch that show 🤣 And I'm happy that you're going to continue with NW (and us 🤩) Thank you 🤘😁🤘
Hey Bruce, just found your Nightwish reactions today and binge watched all of them, they where all great and fun to watch but sadly you endet them after going trough Wacken 😢 so I will highly recomment you to do some more Nightwish from all the other awesome live performances of them thru the years: "7 days to the wolves", "shudder before the beautiful", "yours is an empty hope" and of course "the poet and the Pendulum" from wembley "The greatest show on earth", "the islander" and "weack fantasy" live from Tampere "I want my tears back" and "dead boys poem" live from buenos aires Also great "high hopes" tribute with Marco as lead is super awesome "Shoemaker" any live version you can catch So much else to explore, so please do more Nightwish 🤘
You have only scratched the surface. I really hope you do "Your's is an empty hope", as I really like that song and its from the first album written to Floor specifically. Its a much heavier and darker song and Floor shows you some awesome growling lines on the chorus, but the Nightwish signature style is still easily recognizable. Unofficial Wembley 2015 version is pretty good, as the official live from Nightwish Cruise in MS Baltic has a lot of flashing lights (musically its just as good).
Funniest thing about you finally finishing with the whole Wacken concert is, you might think you could almost be done with Nightwish because, come on, this is their most famous performance, what else could be left?... Oh, man, you have no idea what you still have ahead... Both 2015 shows in Wembley and Tampere have a few songs that will blow your mind, no jokes... Those are the next step in your journey, and ill be here to watch it. Enjoy!
Bruce, i am really getting in youre reactions, i like it a lot, you make the vieuwers of the reaction go with a bigggg smile thanks and like a lot of us i hopr you stay on NW and go on to the next thanxxxxx
If you don't get goosebumps, or tear up listening to them, somethings wrong! And you're right, she knew! This whole concert is great, but don't forget other locations, tampere, Buenos aries, their newest album.
This is a great show closer but wait till you hear Greatest Show on Earth. This song has one of my favorite lyrics from Tuomas , "It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead". The current tour ends with Last Ride of the Day, Ghost Love Score, Greatest Show on Earth, and then the Ad Astra movement from All the Works of Nature that Adorns the World as the outro. Such an incredible, uplifting and inspiring to a show. Was at the show in Boston and I have never come away from a concert more filled with hope, joy, and a desire to make the world a better place.
This was so much fun watching you become a fan so your passion and respectful reactions were a breath of fresh air TY , Welcome to the Nightwish Army .Tampere 2015 please here is the link to the full concert - ruclips.net/video/n3yYI2VWdC0/видео.html
I just remember, as you did your First off GLS, you werent really sure, if you like it, and tried another one of NW, well rest is History:) glad you had Joy with them till now:)
Thank you! My voice would not last for 10 minutes, let alone 90...😂 You can’t go wrong with Nightwish, I would like to suggest their latest album too! Humane nature (cd 1: lyric video’s and cd 2 with a fan-made video that has been approved by tuomas himself)! ♥️
I think the look on Floor’s face is her receiving the beautiful acceptance from this huge European crowd, although they didn’t know this was her first concert as a permanent member. It would not be announced until their new album came out later in the year, & that burnout period of her life was gone! It is so moving as we witness how they gelled so quickly together, & how happy they are. The one thing you keep saying is Emppu doesn’t do many solo’s, & I think he always does one, some longer than other’s... hey folks who’s correct here? Am I dreaming, because I love Emppu?! 😍
Bruce I would love you to play my new favorite if you can have a favorite. This one isn’t played a lot, going to share a link from someone that has the song with video it looks like from “Please Learn the Setlist in 48 hours”, which is great close up shots of all of them, plus a GREAT SOLO from Emppu. I only see the official song otherwise, with NO video. It doesn’t look like it is played a lot at concerts. Maybe it is old with Tarja, but this Floor. ruclips.net/video/2BfakYUK-0Q/видео.html
This was the Imaginaerum tour. The sign hanging up behind them. alot of the songs come from it but not all. The album is good and tells a story so songs like storytime make sense.
yes you should do seven days to the wolves wembley. amazing concert. if you have time you should do all the great concerts wembley, tampere and buenos aires
This was Floor's 46th show since joining the band. Remember, at this point she still was just a fill in. There were 2 more shows after this to finish out the tour. Of course Tuomas asked her to join.
Don't forget to check out some of their earlier music and concerts. The "End of an Era" DVD is spectacular. Music from the albums are great too. Another band I'm very passionate is a group called "Renaissance." Another group that's hard to put in a genre, they combined rock, jazz, orchestral and spectacular vocals into something quite unequaled. There are videos of them on RUclips but because of the time they were working, the quality is not great. But they did record a concert, "Live at Carnegie Hall," that is simply spectacular. No backing tracks, that a live orchestra playing with them! I saw them the following year performing at Radio City Music Hall and it was mind-blowing! If you'd like to perhaps try going thru this concert in order, here's the first song "Prologue." ruclips.net/video/I6YApFBikPU/видео.html They have a show on RUclips that they did at BBC that's quite good but the Carnegie Hall recording is a better quality. Try it and see! Here the list! Side A "Prologue" (Dunford) - 7:35 "Ocean Gypsy" - 7:48 "Can You Understand?" - 10:41 Side B "Carpet of the Sun" - 4:15 "Running Hard" - 9:43 "Mother Russia" - 10:48 Side C "Song of Scheherazade" - 28:50 a. "Fanfare" (John Tout) b. "The Betrayal" (Jon Camp, Tout, Dunford) c. "The Sultan" d. "Love Theme" (Camp) e. "The Young Prince and Princess as told by Scheherazade" f. "Festival Preparations" (Camp, Tout, Dunford) g. "Fugue for the Sultan" (Tout) h. "The Festival" i. "Finale" (Camp, Tout, Dunford) Side D "Ashes Are Burning" - 23:50 (this is my entry drug. It's about a near death experience the writer had. I cry and am not ashamed.)
This is a great finishing number. Highlight for me is the energy (Masters of Rock is also a great performance) and Marco's harmonies. And Floor's interaction with Marco (see them singing Schubert's Ave Maria). My sequence after this would be Wembley 2015, then BA 2018 then back to Tampere 2015. Tampere and Wembley were the same tour but some different songs and even where the songs are duplcated they are, of course, different performances. But because they are the same tour I would separate them with BA even though its out of chronological order. So you have learned a lot on this journey eh? Some reactors watch the credits, but did you notice who did post-production sound mixing?? Nice closing commentary by the way. 👍
SOMETHING FOR "IN BETWEEN" (you haven't done yet if I'm not mistaken): If you like our Dutch Floor, then try a Dutch band called *EPICA* (with one of Floor's BFF’s, Simone Simons) and also loved by many Nightwish fans. Omega Alive (virtual) 2021 concert *_”The Skeleton Key”_* : ruclips.net/video/zIZkvhiOUU8/видео.html&ab_channel=EPICA Live in the Zenith (Paris, France - *_"Beyond the Matrix"_* : ruclips.net/video/ix_PpfputKY/видео.html&ab_channel=EPICA Omega Alive (virtual) 2021 concert *_”Kingdom of Heaven, part 3”_* : ruclips.net/video/BdBCVMD8TiM/видео.html&ab_channel=EPICA Omega Alive (virtual) 2021 concert *_"Victim Of Contingency"_* : ruclips.net/video/aT1JsH2_97c/видео.html&ab_channel=EPICA Live (Retrospect show) - *_"Sancta Terra"_* : ruclips.net/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/видео.html (duet with Floor) Live (Retrospect show) - *_"Stabat Mater Dolorosa"_* : ruclips.net/video/nhtOORYTGx8/видео.html&ab_channel=_gothmetal_ (duet with Floor)
I’m sure you enjoyed Wacken, which is widely regarded as one of the best concerts ever. I am a totally infatuated Floor devotee, but may I suggest that you explore some of the original Tarja and Anette tracks. Understanding and appreciating Nightwish really requires exploring their ‘Pre Floor’ work. Each of the three girls brings something different to the party. In fact the Wacken concert is wholly ‘pre Floor’ in that all the tracks so comprehensively ‘captured’ by Floor were originally written for Tarja and Anette.
NIGHTWISH Songs Never Get Old. They are ALWAYS AMAZING 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥 And Floor means 🌸 Flower 🌸 in the Netherlands And is a Dutch girls name. Always nice to know🥰 Love your comment top🔝 Bye Bye👋👋 🇳🇱 🙋🏼♀️🌷🇳🇱
When the pandemic temporarily put the crew out of work, Nightwish allowed the crew to put out an album called Crewish that had crew covers of Nightwish songs in different song styles.
Alright...as we covered now this remarkable Milestone......shall we continue the Ride ? Big Yes from here.....I think we all agree that the next one should be Wembley now....right ?! Looking forward to see you there....:-) As Floor herself says there: WEMBLEY LETS GOOOO !!! All Hail Queen Floor !
And yet another great reaction, Thank you. I have a suggestion for some new music to react to. Try a song of the new Star One album "Revel in Time". Specifically, I recommend "Lost Children of the Universe" with Roy Khan (ex Kamelot) and Tony Martin (ex black Sabbath) on vocals and a nice guitar solo from Steve Vai. And you can't go wrong with any of the other songs on this album. Each with its own vocalists / musicians.
Whatever order you do the concerts in you need to screenshot 7:45 (where Floor leans her head towards Marco) and save as “Alpenglow”. When you react to that track you should see why. It could be said that they peaked at this moment!
As great as this is, there's an even more incredible concert ending at the equally amazing Tampere and Wembley shows with "The Greatest Show on Earth" (following "Last Ride", which had been their show ender for about three years and was a favourite of most of the band members themselves until "The Greatest Show" came along). On stage, Troy pronounced Tampere something like "Tormpera", though I don't know how accurate that is; maybe some Finnish fans can correct or confirm this is right (Troy is English and in fact lives a handful of miles from me here in York and I don't know how good his Finnish pronunciation is, though I imagine it is quite good due to his long association with this band).
As you go on, and listen to the songs from Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human :II: Nature, you’ll realize this band envolves, or should I say Tuomas as a composer grows.
Bruce,what comes to your first reaction to song "Romantice",In past(long long ago) I had similar experience with my first song of Nightwish, when heard it from radio.I can not remember what that song was but my thoughts were something like "ok but maybe not so much for me"....But some what later I heard " Wish I Had an Angel" and that was my gate to the world of Nightwish.. What comes to the earlier vocalists,Tarja was good on her own way and same with Anette but now Floor is best(My opionion). Tarja have her own solo career now and also Anette is doing well with The Dark Element. Btw,if like to check Emppus "Side project", check this Brother Firetribe live and their song "Heart Full of Fire".There is also Anette as an other vocalist. ruclips.net/video/fDUH7S8vtjQ/видео.html Here is Tarja singing Nightwish song "Sleeping Sun" with Steven's Seagulls,worth to check how symphonic metal turns to blue grass metal... ruclips.net/video/bYZb9qIGLcg/видео.html In future, you may react to Miss Noora Louhimo and Batlle Beast...Her voice is something what you surely may like, where to compare it? Maybe Janis Joplin is very close? "Master of Illusion" (Genre is symphonic metal): ruclips.net/video/6sLSyTEXfCI/видео.html
Now you have done Wacken, you will see that Tampere 2015, Wembley Arena and Buenos Aires 2018 are great concerts too and this band has earned the loyalty and respect from the army over all those years, because they are so good, from the beginning till the present day. Great reaction and greetings from the Netherlands
Less then 3days!
Now, as Floor said it herself: WEMBLEY LETS GO!
That's Wembley 2015 ;)
Awesome, now you get to fast forward 2 years, the opening song from the 2015 London, Wembley Arena concert “Shudder before the Beautiful” 🤯🤘🔥🇬🇧
👍👍👍👍
And what an opener!
Yesss!
@@marita2g Yes its so good!
@@pickboaa it really is 🤩🤘🏻
Glad to hear this is not the last ride of the day for you and Nightwish! Great reactions.

Tuomas' musical genius has a Floor...but no ceiling! Great react BB, how about Wembley next? Cheers!
good one, Bruce
Oh man, this whole concert is a fantastic start. The journey actually gets better from here IMO.
😁🇫🇮❤️🎶🎹🎤🎸🥁✨
Thank you for Wacken-13 Party....lets go another one to have a Great time with Nightwish 🎶🎢🥰💙

you have so much to continue 🙂

Would be great to time travel back to this concert❣️
Thank you for taking time to handle full concert- I enjoyed the full ride also with your comments

Hi Bruce. It's just wonderful that you stuck with Nightwish and got to love them. I had a feeling you would when I first recemmended them to you back in August of last year. The more you listen to them, the better they get!
'Last Ride Of The Day' is indeed a great song, especially when they play it live. The Tampere version is nice too, it puts Emppu in the spotlights a bit more. You keep saying Tampa, but I think you mean the Tampere show. Tampere is a city in Finland and there is some great footage from their 2015 show there.

Great reaction fella, thoroughly enjoyed all your reactions to this incredible show - and now onto Wembley, Tampere and Buenos Aires shows - can't wait 🤘
I agree this is the best live full concert I have seen
with these next in order in my opinion
Wembley 15
Tampere 15
Decades in Buenos Aires 18
Bloodstock 18
btw it's Tarja which you got it perfect was their 1st singer 1996-2005 then Anette 2007-2012 then the goddess Floor 2013 till present
If you want to try something from Buenos Aires 2018 you have "Dead boy's poem" (on the ballady side, brillant song and performance from everyone specially Floor and Emppu), "Devil and the deep dark ocean" (heavy), "I want my tears back" (incredibly fun version), "Slaying the dreamer" (classic metal vibes) or maybe the "Elvenjig and Elvenpath" combo (fantasy driven song with a very enjoyable start).
Galloping has that up and down motion. The song was inspired by roller coaster rides, so Gallopy works.
It's usually played at or near the end of the setlist.
Tarja was 1st '96-'05. Anette 2nd '07-'12. Floor replaced Anette mid tour in 2012.
I have seen 4 concerts of Nightwish and Wacken 2013 is my favorite
Man! i really enjoyed your words at the end of their perform, Queen Floor always transmits that happyness she´s having but i hadn´t pay attention to her face like you did, the hole band is having so much fun and that´s why we the fans enojoy it so much, it´s not like a fork for them but a pleassure, they complement each other so well and that´s the key i guess, keep rocking and stay safe!
Your welcome enjoyed your nightwish journey look forward to seeing you do more.
Nightwish Army UK popping in for the Last ride.
Thank you, sir. Great reactions 🤘🔥❤️🇫🇮
Now, watch it start to finish, no pauses, by yourself or with your significant other. I always enjoy this video. Have the CD for my car...and the CD ending is the same as the live video. I play it to the end, because I've seen it so many times, I see it in my minds eye.
I really agree with the previous recommendations, so indeed the live concert of wembley 2015 and ofcourse Buenos Aires 2018! Floor is for me such
A pleasure to hear, especially live! and so flawless! So nice 2 be here in this ride together with all the fans..🤩 apart from the Incredible live performance I would also recommend the song called " Our decades in the Sun " ! It's really beautifull , with the great sensitive lyrics and powerfull voice from Floor , its worth to check it out! Thank U greetings from Kj😇🇳🇱🤘
I also love the expression on Floor's face after the end of the show. This was the biggest show of her life and she looked so pleased with how it went down.
Dream Theater is a whole different thing. They are amazing and probably the most technically skilled group in the history of metal. Petrucci!
Great job Bruce! Loved it. 🤘🤘🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏽☝
Great words Bruce !
Even tho you have watched this consert, there is so much more still to come. So many good ones outside of Wacken 13.
She said in an interview it was a big moment walking out to 82,000 people. She said knowing that they were recording it, they all worked hard. The planets definitely aligned for this.
Now, let’s go for: Shudder before the beautiful (live from Wembley 2015)….. great vid by the way… 👍🏆
"Last Ride of the day" in Wacken -13 makes me feel separation anxiety every fricking time I watch that show 🤣
And I'm happy that you're going to continue with NW (and us 🤩)
Thank you 🤘😁🤘
Hey Bruce, just found your Nightwish reactions today and binge watched all of them, they where all great and fun to watch but sadly you endet them after going trough Wacken 😢 so I will highly recomment you to do some more Nightwish from all the other awesome live performances of them thru the years:
"7 days to the wolves", "shudder before the beautiful", "yours is an empty hope" and of course "the poet and the Pendulum" from wembley
"The greatest show on earth", "the islander" and "weack fantasy" live from Tampere
"I want my tears back" and "dead boys poem" live from buenos aires
Also great "high hopes" tribute with Marco as lead is super awesome
"Shoemaker" any live version you can catch
So much else to explore, so please do more Nightwish 🤘
what a journey! I enjoyed this so much! Thanks Bruce!
You have only scratched the surface.
I really hope you do "Your's is an empty hope", as I really like that song and its from the first album written to Floor specifically. Its a much heavier and darker song and Floor shows you some awesome growling lines on the chorus, but the Nightwish signature style is still easily recognizable. Unofficial Wembley 2015 version is pretty good, as the official live from Nightwish Cruise in MS Baltic has a lot of flashing lights (musically its just as good).
Funniest thing about you finally finishing with the whole Wacken concert is, you might think you could almost be done with Nightwish because, come on, this is their most famous performance, what else could be left?... Oh, man, you have no idea what you still have ahead... Both 2015 shows in Wembley and Tampere have a few songs that will blow your mind, no jokes... Those are the next step in your journey, and ill be here to watch it. Enjoy!
Please do Wembley,because that's a new experience, nice reaction man! Greetings from the Netherlands
Bruce, i am really getting in youre reactions, i like it a lot, you make the vieuwers of the reaction go with a bigggg smile thanks and like a lot of us i hopr you stay on NW and go on to the next thanxxxxx
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Great reaction great song to end a show. You will soon find out that they have added the most epic closing song of all time.
If you don't get goosebumps, or tear up listening to them, somethings wrong! And you're right, she knew! This whole concert is great, but don't forget other locations, tampere, Buenos aries, their newest album.
The Dutch Windmill: looks great & a safer way to headbang 🤘
We Were Here!
This is a great show closer but wait till you hear Greatest Show on Earth. This song has one of my favorite lyrics from Tuomas , "It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead". The current tour ends with Last Ride of the Day, Ghost Love Score, Greatest Show on Earth, and then the Ad Astra movement from All the Works of Nature that Adorns the World as the outro. Such an incredible, uplifting and inspiring to a show. Was at the show in Boston and I have never come away from a concert more filled with hope, joy, and a desire to make the world a better place.
This was so much fun watching you become a fan so your passion and respectful reactions were a breath of fresh air TY , Welcome to the Nightwish Army .Tampere 2015 please here is the link to the full concert - ruclips.net/video/n3yYI2VWdC0/видео.html
Perfect 🤩 He should do the full concert there 🤩
I just remember, as you did your First off GLS, you werent really sure, if you like it, and tried another one of NW, well rest is History:) glad you had Joy with them till now:)
Thank you! My voice would not last for 10 minutes, let alone 90...😂 You can’t go wrong with Nightwish, I would like to suggest their latest album too! Humane nature (cd 1: lyric video’s and cd 2 with a fan-made video that has been approved by tuomas himself)! ♥️
Empu has a way of producing very well thought out solo's which fitt the songs.
Nice said Bruce!
Up next: Shudder Before the Beautiful (Wembley 2015). 💥✨🔥🤘🏼😍
The best live show ever !!
Best headliner ever at Wacken. All categories.
I think the look on Floor’s face is her receiving the beautiful acceptance from this huge European crowd, although they didn’t know this was her first concert as a permanent member. It would not be announced until their new album came out later in the year, & that burnout period of her life was gone! It is so moving as we witness how they gelled so quickly together, & how happy they are. The one thing you keep saying is Emppu doesn’t do many solo’s, & I think he always does one, some longer than other’s... hey folks who’s correct here? Am I dreaming, because I love Emppu?! 😍
Bruce I would love you to play my new favorite if you can have a favorite. This one isn’t played a lot, going to share a link from someone that has the song with video it looks like from “Please Learn the Setlist in 48 hours”, which is great close up shots of all of them, plus a GREAT SOLO from Emppu. I only see the official song otherwise, with NO video. It doesn’t look like it is played a lot at concerts. Maybe it is old with Tarja, but this Floor. ruclips.net/video/2BfakYUK-0Q/видео.html
This was the Imaginaerum tour. The sign hanging up behind them. alot of the songs come from it but not all. The album is good and tells a story so songs like storytime make sense.
Now you have Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015, Buenos Aires 2018 and the virtual shows from 2021. You’ll see a natural progression and evolution.
yes you should do seven days to the wolves wembley. amazing concert. if you have time you should do all the great concerts wembley, tampere and buenos aires
This was Floor's 46th show since joining the band. Remember, at this point she still was just a fill in. There were 2 more shows after this to finish out the tour. Of course Tuomas asked her to join.
hey Bruce The wacken open air Was Floors First Metall Festival with Night wish 82.000 Metall Head s give her a standing Salut. 🤘
Yeah !
Don't forget to check out some of their earlier music and concerts. The "End of an Era" DVD is spectacular. Music from the albums are great too. Another band I'm very passionate is a group called "Renaissance." Another group that's hard to put in a genre, they combined rock, jazz, orchestral and spectacular vocals into something quite unequaled. There are videos of them on RUclips but because of the time they were working, the quality is not great. But they did record a concert, "Live at Carnegie Hall," that is simply spectacular. No backing tracks, that a live orchestra playing with them! I saw them the following year performing at Radio City Music Hall and it was mind-blowing! If you'd like to perhaps try going thru this concert in order, here's the first song "Prologue."
ruclips.net/video/I6YApFBikPU/видео.html
They have a show on RUclips that they did at BBC that's quite good but the Carnegie Hall recording is a better quality. Try it and see! Here the list!
Side A
"Prologue" (Dunford) - 7:35
"Ocean Gypsy" - 7:48
"Can You Understand?" - 10:41
Side B
"Carpet of the Sun" - 4:15
"Running Hard" - 9:43
"Mother Russia" - 10:48
Side C
"Song of Scheherazade" - 28:50
a. "Fanfare" (John Tout)
b. "The Betrayal" (Jon Camp, Tout, Dunford)
c. "The Sultan"
d. "Love Theme" (Camp)
e. "The Young Prince and Princess as told by Scheherazade"
f. "Festival Preparations" (Camp, Tout, Dunford)
g. "Fugue for the Sultan" (Tout)
h. "The Festival"
i. "Finale" (Camp, Tout, Dunford)
Side D
"Ashes Are Burning" - 23:50 (this is my entry drug. It's about a near death experience the writer had. I cry and am not ashamed.)
This is a great finishing number. Highlight for me is the energy (Masters of Rock is also a great performance) and Marco's harmonies. And Floor's interaction with Marco (see them singing Schubert's Ave Maria).
My sequence after this would be Wembley 2015, then BA 2018 then back to Tampere 2015.
Tampere and Wembley were the same tour but some different songs and even where the songs are duplcated they are, of course, different performances.
But because they are the same tour I would separate them with BA even though its out of chronological order.
So you have learned a lot on this journey eh?
Some reactors watch the credits, but did you notice who did post-production sound mixing??
Nice closing commentary by the way. 👍
Marco mixed it! Nice!
Thanks
The intro riffs is so HANS ZIMMER. Very epic.
SOMETHING FOR "IN BETWEEN" (you haven't done yet if I'm not mistaken):
If you like our Dutch Floor, then try a Dutch band called *EPICA* (with one of Floor's BFF’s, Simone Simons) and also loved by many Nightwish fans.

Yes !Sancta Terra life from the dutch band Epica , the leadsinger Simone Simons sang together with Floor this performance 🤘🇳🇱🇳🇱💞
I’m sure you enjoyed Wacken, which is widely regarded as one of the best concerts ever. I am a totally infatuated Floor devotee, but may I suggest that you explore some of the original Tarja and Anette tracks. Understanding and appreciating Nightwish really requires exploring their ‘Pre Floor’ work. Each of the three girls brings something different to the party. In fact the Wacken concert is wholly ‘pre Floor’ in that all the tracks so comprehensively ‘captured’ by Floor were originally written for Tarja and Anette.
NIGHTWISH Songs Never
Get Old.
They are ALWAYS AMAZING
🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
And Floor means 🌸 Flower 🌸
in the Netherlands
And is a Dutch girls name.
Always nice to know🥰
Love your comment top🔝
Bye Bye👋👋
🇳🇱 🙋🏼♀️🌷🇳🇱
The gallopy thing can be heard in the beautiful nightwish song '' Sahara ''
When the pandemic temporarily put the crew out of work, Nightwish allowed the crew to put out an album called Crewish that had crew covers of Nightwish songs in different song styles.
That’s awesome!
Alright...as we covered now this remarkable Milestone......shall we continue the Ride ? Big Yes from here.....I think we all agree that the next one should be Wembley now....right ?!
Looking forward to see you there....:-)
As Floor herself says there: WEMBLEY LETS GOOOO !!!
All Hail Queen Floor !
Tempere!!!!
And yet another great reaction, Thank you.
I have a suggestion for some new music to react to. Try a song of the new Star One album "Revel in Time". Specifically, I recommend "Lost Children of the Universe" with Roy Khan (ex Kamelot) and Tony Martin (ex black Sabbath) on vocals and a nice guitar solo from Steve Vai. And you can't go wrong with any of the other songs on this album. Each with its own vocalists / musicians.
Definately do Tampere 2015, Wembley 2016, Buenos Aires 2018 and some other single songs from other shows like Tampa with Sahara song for example
Whatever order you do the concerts in you need to screenshot 7:45 (where Floor leans her head towards Marco) and save as “Alpenglow”. When you react to that track you should see why. It could be said that they peaked at this moment!
Best Ending..... 🤣🤣🤣
Wait for "the greatest show on earth" live at Tampere. That is the most epic Ending i've ever seen.
As great as this is, there's an even more incredible concert ending at the equally amazing Tampere and Wembley shows with "The Greatest Show on Earth" (following "Last Ride", which had been their show ender for about three years and was a favourite of most of the band members themselves until "The Greatest Show" came along).
On stage, Troy pronounced Tampere something like "Tormpera", though I don't know how accurate that is; maybe some Finnish fans can correct or confirm this is right (Troy is English and in fact lives a handful of miles from me here in York and I don't know how good his Finnish pronunciation is, though I imagine it is quite good due to his long association with this band).
She was new to the band for this concerts I can’t remember but it’s less than 6 months to memorize the set
As you go on, and listen to the songs from Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human :II: Nature, you’ll realize this band envolves, or should I say Tuomas as a composer grows.
Here's a link to her Pinkpop solo concert , and after that she did a Nightwish set. ruclips.net/video/Q7bnlzNBQ_A/видео.html
End of the concert and Floor looks like she could do it all again
Bruce,what comes to your first reaction to song "Romantice",In past(long long ago) I had similar experience with my first song of Nightwish, when heard it from radio.I can not remember what that song was but my thoughts were something like "ok but maybe not so much for me"....But some what later I heard " Wish I Had an Angel" and that was my gate to the world of Nightwish..
What comes to the earlier vocalists,Tarja was good on her own way and same with Anette but now Floor is best(My opionion).
Tarja have her own solo career now and also Anette is doing well with The Dark Element.
Btw,if like to check Emppus "Side project", check this Brother Firetribe live and their song "Heart Full of Fire".There is also Anette as an other vocalist.
ruclips.net/video/fDUH7S8vtjQ/видео.html
Here is Tarja singing Nightwish song "Sleeping Sun" with Steven's Seagulls,worth to check how symphonic metal turns to blue grass metal...
ruclips.net/video/bYZb9qIGLcg/видео.html
In future, you may react to Miss Noora Louhimo and Batlle Beast...Her voice is something what you surely may like, where to compare it? Maybe Janis Joplin is very close?
