I love Pink Floyd, but what NW did with this song gave me chills. This is not a cover, but a tribute. Thx HomeGnome for this one and David for the reaction and review
David Gilmore did comment on it. "Best version I've heard" thx HomeGnome!
I am a fan of Pink Floyd all of my life (66 y old Dutch bloke) and seen them several times. Nightwish belongs to my favorite bands since 3 y.
This is not a cover but the ultimate tribute from an exceptional band to an exceptional band!
I'm a lifelong fan of the Floyd n I think it's a terrible cover. I can tell they're great musicians though.
@@Faithnomore227 well the club of huge interest is taking notes.
@@Faithnomore227 I would be interested to hear some reasons for calling it terrible? What makes it bad for you?
@@Faithnomore227 It was David Gilmore approved
@@Faithnomore227 agree 100 % total abomination to tell the truth
Marko was the absolute backbone of Nightwish. Sad that he chose to leave but happy for him that he made his own decision.
again a brilliant analysis of a song from Nightwish. The song shows, how outstanding Nightwish is, even without a frontwoman.
Emppu’s second solo is full of emotions, it’s like he’s speaking to us through his guitar 😭😍
Your reaction here is on point. Marko has the voice of a god and he sings it while playing guitar. All the guys are at the top of their game here. ❤
Home Gnome, the Nightwish Army hereby honours you with a medal for putting forward so many Nightwish song reactions by David Heretic.🎖
I concur
Agreed 😁
Thanks HomeGnome - and David.
Yes, we love this.
It is a tribute rather than a cover.
Nightwish call it a tribute and Dave Gilmour has given it his seal now approval.
As a PF fan since the 70s, I think this is way ahead of the original.
Marco is stunning. And Emppu can do anything.
Is there by chance any source available on internet that would prove Gilmour's appreciation of this tribute ?
@@rashaverak666 I think it was an interview somewhere although the Pink Floyd website has praise from the band itself for this version.
it was a social media site David Gilmore had. I'm sorry I don't remember. However yes Pink Floyd did mention it also on there web page
Still a cover.
@@chasingbirds3073 If Nightwish and Pink Floyd themselves (as they do - "one of the best tributes to Pink Floyd we have ever seen!"), call it a tribute that's good enough for me.
8.8, that's more than the 8.6 for Pink Floyd.
I agree with this score
Thanks for the reaction.
This is the first Pink Floyd cover that I like better than the original. It’s an amazing tribute!
What’s the second?
@@OrdinaryCritic Better than Pink Floyd? I think Kylesa did an ok job with their two covers Interstellar Overdrive and Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. But better? No just different and I like them.
Yes
Unbelievable concentration amidst emotional turmoil. They all knew Tarja would be given her marching papers after this concert.
Poor Jukka suffered from chronic insomnia and was having a migraine here (how the hell could anyone play their music with a migraine??!!), and Marco wasn't feeling well (possibly because he was anticipating the Tarya Letter, and Thuomas was wound like a clock with the stress of having his name on the letter that would soon be delivered to his long time friend and collaborator Tarja. With all of that, their professionalism totally nailed this tribute. Respect, as always, for this band. And thanks HomeGnome and David! So appreciate you guys.
I love when covers are equal or “better” than the originals. That shows how much dedication they put on replicating the song and putting their own spin
What makes this song even more emotional they all knew at the end of this concert Tarja was gonna be let go, and everytime he said "With Friends around me" was imagining them uniting with each other saying we gonna be fine, with Friends around me. Nice reaction.
I think you're reading too much into it.
Mind reader detected
Well... Nightwish have played this tribute song only once and for a one special occasion... the reason is related to their former vocalist...
@@ssc00p they played High Hopes for most of 2005 tour dates, exception made on some festivals, when they would play a shorter setlist
@@alexandre_am I've listened to most of those concerts. I have never heard before this. Also in an interview with Tou and marko. Marko Made the decision to play it. For this reason. And it shows on the somber expressions on everyone's faces. I would love to hear another version from a previous concerts please send links to.
I've never been a Pink Floyd fan, just never connected to them as I found them depressing. I love Nightwish's take on this song and it allows me to appreciate the composition. I enjoyed your analysis, David, and I concur with your points. Marko's voice is just a unique instrument that reaches into your chest and touches your heart. Thanks to HomeGnome ... and David.
My love for Pink Floyd is immense and the same for Nightwish. This song is amazing and Marko’s vocals are incredible. I also love this version a teensy better. Awesome review thank you to you and home gnome! 😍🥰💖🤣✨💫
First time I heard this song was from Nightwish. I didn't even know it was a Pink Floyd song. I listened to the original and like Nightwish's style so much better.
Pink Floyd did a wonderful song about regret and reminiscences- Nightwish put in the remorsefulness and anguish that made it work this way. Another great reaction!
Love that tapping in the 2nd solo and the overall tone of the song.
Thanx for bringing this song to the top! 🤘
As always, a huge THANKS for using your Gold Tier request to allow us to enjoy Dave's reaction to our favorite band!!
Thanks man
Everytime I'm starting to get over Marko's departure I watch one of these and get sad again 😢
What a voice...
Anyway, great reaction as always!
First ,... Thank You Home Gnome !!!!
What a tribute ( Not Cover) from Nightwish to this legendary song 🤩.
Marko is a living legend !!!!!
I also love this darker tone ,....and that solo .... Emppu just kicks ass !!!!
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
Many thanks, Home Gnome. And thank you also, David!!
Thumbs up all! Thank you 💜 💜 Greetings Nightwish army Finland 🤘 𝓜𝓾𝓼𝓽𝓪 𝓛𝓪𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪...
Yes really WOW, i always tought it hits my feelings much more than the original. We were here!!!!
Thanks HomeGnome for pushing this amazing tribute up the list. Great reaction David. I've been waiting ages for you to react to this. I always say that if nostalgia had a musical tone, High Hopes IS that tone. It's perfect!!!! And this tribute had the absolute correct tone and feel!! Very special performance from a very special band!!! David Heretic..... Feelin' you!!!! C'mon now!!!!! Here we go!!!!!
This goes under your skin. Fantastic!
Their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction is also a killer 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I’ve read that David Gilmour did hear this version and said he loved it, but that was from various comments. I haven’t seen the interview/article it came from.
I've always said what made this was the emotion in Marko's voice. I mean all the instrumentation was spot on too but his voice in this hits you right in the feels. Based on when and where this was sung....i think thats why this song in particular was so emotionally charged. The four people on stage were the only ones who knew what would be coming after the show and i think this song was an outlet for it.
David Gilmore commented on this years ago and loved it. .. I love Pink Floyd, but this is taking a good song and making it better ( duk)))
So glad you got to this, always thought you would love it, especially Emppu’s homerun! He doesn’t often get long enough in my opinion, but of course their songs are longer than most. Please stop worrying so much about what people think about your scoring. You have mostly long time followers, we all support you, if someone doesn’t, blow them off! Opinions! Everyone’s got one! They are here to get yours! As Floor did with Shallow, NW owns High Hopes … NOW! Love the original, but as your reason for not giving tens, someone can always do better. I understand Pink Floyd Gus love it too.
Huge Pink Floyd fan here, and I honestly love this version more than the PF version. Now, there are times where my mood wants to hear the PF version, but NW absolutely nailed the emotion of this song imo.
Was working on that gig. Emotional rollercoaster 🔥🤘❤️🇫🇮
Love love love this Tribute, Thankyou for the reaction review of this.
This is from the end of a era concert, there is, as you know a LOT going on in the minds of the band on stage, in this song, some of that .................drama............ comes out in this performance, it helps explain the dark feeling the little glances between them. It gets me watching Jukka Nevalainen visibly in pain from a migraine, and he still performed to that that high standard, then we get to see just how good Emmpu actually is.
I really love this tribute so much as well.
It keeps enough of the original, but adds so much mood to it.
Just goes to show Marco is irreplaceable. You don't get singers like that off the help wanted ads.
Totally agree, they can find a bassist but they will never find a singer like Marko. I think Troy will take the second singer role. The tone will be different.
@@falkion3770 I think it's unlikely that Troy can even measure up on bass anytime soon. It took Marco a long time to get that good and then there's chemistry. Marko knew everyone's moves. Granted Floor came in full speed, but she'd worked years with Mark Jansen, who is no slouch. No disrespect to Troy, but time and experience are very tough to replace.
Great review of a great tribute to a great song. Thanks for requesting this Home Gnome.
Marko and Emppu really stand out in this song, but Tuomas arrangement is so spot on that I like this version more than PF. It has more edge to it.
Edit: you scored the PF version 8.6 😉
Thank you Home Gnome
A truly beautiful cover if ever one was done
First of all, thanks HomeGnome. You’re doing God’s work. Second, you gave the Pink Floyd version an 8.6.
Thank you Homegnome
Here's my honest opinion from someone who has never seen or heard Pink Floyd's original and the Nightwish cover until about a month ago. I am 73 and I can honestly say, I can't remember any of Pink Floyd's music, even though it was probably on the radios or in the bars I frequented back then. Anyway, I watched a reaction to Nightwish' High Hopes cover a month or so ago and really enjoyed it, most likely because it was Nightwish and Marko doing it. I have only discovered Nightwish with Floor Jansen 2.5 years ago. Only metal band I like is Nightwish with Floor, but with Marko gone, I will probably just keep re-watching the concerts with him in the band from now on and I love Floor's solo stuff from last 3 years. Well, after watching Nightwish cover of High Hopes, I searched and watched the Pink Floyd version of this song. Got to say Nightwish gets a 10 and Pink Floyd gets a 5 from me. I would never repeat the Pink Floyd original, only the Nighwish cover. That all aside, from your perspective, what keeps these songs from getting a 10 from you. I am sure all Pink Floyd fans would give Pink's version a 10, and all of Nightwish and Marko fans would give their version a 10.
I'm 62 and I vaguely remembered High Hopes when it came out in the 90's. NW's tribute is unforgettable IMO.
This has turned into one of my all-time favorite covers, and I've heard quite a few of them. Great reaction, DH! Thanks.
Great reaction. I liked it very much.
Anyone bringing up the migraine story owes me a drink, FYI.
Anyway, I was present for this and it still doesn't get any less haunting and magical no matter how often I see it. And it's true: every song Nightwish covers they manage to improve.
Lol but how to know which story is real? It certainly looks like he is in pain when playing
Great reaction, thank you David. Thank you HomeGnome for making this possible. And I like David's t-shirt.
Holly shit, never took the time to listen this version. amazing!! God i love this band. tx for bringing it up HG & gj David
"This song had a Pulse."
Well done, sir.
Thanks Home Gnome
Thank you reacting to this. Greetings from Germany 🤘P.S.: Kudos to your pronouncing of my difficult name 👍🏻
Nightwish shows with this song that they would have been successful with the male singer too!
My order for the versions of this song is:
1. Nightwish live
2. Pink Floyd live
3. Pink Floyd studio
Just a few more nights and I can see them! The Tampere concert is on Friday of this week!
David Gilmour is a fan of this version! It's so moody and powerful!
I think there are only 2 bands out there that can do a cover and totally OWN IT, Nightwish and Disturbed, It is definately NW but a fantastic feel that is just has so many demons at play, Marco Tuomas Jukka and Emppu just nailed it, I think Pink Floyd are hard to cover but this is more than a cover song, it is something darker
@@whirledpeaz5758 Liliac covers are more staight covers, they don't really add much of themselves to the songs, that is the difference and why I did not mention them, Nightwish and Disturbed definately add their own thing to the music
I love this version
One of my favorites from Nightwish❣️
I know you can’t cover a song without there being an original, but as an unbiased observer I’ve long believed that this is one of the very few occasions that the cover blows the original away (Hendrix covering Bob Dylan twice springs to mind). I was fortunate enough to see this performed live in a relatively small venue in 2004 and a diehard Floyd fan I was with gave it fulsome praise… and for him Floyd are untouchable). I absolutely love this performance, it’s a goosebumps moment every time. Great reaction as always.
It's a great tribute. Well done David! ⛄👍
Thank you HomeGnome and thank you David. Very nice.
I agree with everyone. This is 100% NOT a cover, it's a tribute. Also, the fact that this was the night they gave Tarja the letter makes it more chilling. You can simply feel the pain coming off of them. Double for Jukka with his migraine.
Good reaction. Great tribute to Pink Floyd. Prefer this version over the Pink Floyd’s one. Good example of Marco’s great voice. Thank you for this reaction. Thanks to HomeGnome.
Great job as always, fair scoring. You are in my top 5 reactors.
So awesome. My #1 fav tribute/cover.
I never watched / listened to a cover like this one. It rivals the original version.
Tarot - ashes to the stars..? Just maybe give it a try, you won't be disappointed. Marco is the lead singer of the band and I think you'll dig it.
Empu's tapping always reminds me of a piano hammer strike
This version of the track always captures the texture of my nostalgia for being in my teens.
Bells on Toumas's finger nails
Jack Sparrow doll on the front of the keyboard.
Circle on the back
I love the Nightwish version a loooot more than the original
Another good cover with Marco's vocals you should check is Tarot-Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
it's a mix voice sir, the only rock singer with an operatic voice i think, master on every technique, not many rock singer can do perfect vibrato, that little crying sensation at the end of the note at 18:14 is so delicious 😩😩😩, at "the water flowing the endless river" part, in one breath!!! not to mention he's doing that while playing bass guitar😩😩😩 God this man is so f**king talented
💪🤙i love this more the original, no question
Still a masterpiece 🇸🇪
Thank You David for reacting to this Tribute song from Nightwish to Pink Floyd. Thank You Home Gnome for prioritizing it. I love Pink Floyd but I too like this one better than Pink Floyd's version. And it is Davide Gilmore approved!
Just a side note. You gave Pink Floyd version 8.6 so 8.8 is higher 😉
This is one of my favorite covers that Nightwish has done. I love Pink Floyd's version, but what Nightwish did with the arrangement is simply amazing. I was a little disappointed that when I saw them live on the tour they did this song on, it wasn't in their setlist yet. I heard them do Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction, which was also a good cover. But High Hopes is definitely something special to listen to. I can't get enough of Marco's vocals on it.
Hopefully Over the Hills and Far Away is on your list somewhere as that is my absolute favorite cover of theirs. It's a fun song, and is a great show to watch. And for a bonus fact, both Tarja AND Floor performed Over the Hills and Far Away together at Metal Female Voices Festival in 2013. Tarja invited Floor to join her during her set to sing it and they both just had a blast together singing it.
The darker feel also might have something to do with the fact that this was the 2005 End of an Era concert, and the guys all knowing what was coming after the show . Which ,as you know, was Tarja's last show. She was offstage for a wardrobe change during this song. In case you're wondering, this was song #8 in an 18 song set.
David Gilmore loved it
And Thank You Home Gnome.🤘🤘
Nonsense.
The concert happened and was released before Twitter was created. I can’t put my finger on it, but my gut tells me there’s something sus about this comment.
@@OrdinaryCritic I read it somewhere. I took it out of my comment because I couldn't remember where.
End of an Era DVD was released Jun 1 ,2006. Twitter was founded March 21, 2006. So, it is possible, but I can't confirm it.
@@chriso6719, not for nothing, I'm just being careful about the information I read from the internet. I was actually interest by your comment because, well, if true, the Gilmour tweet might just be an awesome factoid.
That said, I checked David Gilmour's Twitter account and it says that he joined June 2009.
I admire yer taste 🤟🏻
Judging by your reaction as you watched it I expected a low 9's score so I was bit surprised but 8.8 is great score anyway :) Loved the reaction as always! I don't wanna brag I just want to say I feel incredibly privileged that I've heard both Pink Floyd perform High Hopes live in 1994 in Udine, Italy during legendary Division Bell tour and then 10 years later I witnessed Nightwish playing their tribute to High Hopes live in Munich, Germany during the 2004 Once tour. Both concerts were out of body experiences. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands, grew up listening to them thanks to dad. When I discovered Nightwish in 2000 they instantly became my favorite band so I returned a favor to my dad by introducing him to Nightwish and he fell in love with them immediately. I was 18 in 1994 so dad took me to Pink Floyd concert, 10 years later I took him to Nightwish concert. Circle closed, favor returned :) Considering musical genius of Tuomas and Nightwish I'm was not a bit surprised that out of all bands they wanted to pay tribute to Pink Floyd. And since we are at covers/tributes I would highly suggest that you react/check to the other tribute/cover Nightwish did, it is Gary Moore's Over the Hills and Far Away, it's fantastic, they made it their own ruclips.net/video/CwED4C5FJuo/видео.html
This is their tribute to the music of Pink Floyd.
Great reaction again David. Thanks for agreeing with me without knowing it haha. Fair score as usual. Love the honesty
8.8 amen perkle! Kippis!
I miss Marko
Supposedly this was the last song of the concert where they gave Tarja the letter goodbye. No one was feeling good about things. On top of that Jukka the drummer was having a severe migraine. You can see his pain. I cannot imagine drumming thru this. But at a point you can see Tuomas look at Empuu and give a little nod towards Jukka…like “go check on him “
This band amazes me with their respect to each other, never trying to outshine the other. No wonder they are one of the best… my opinion I guess haha
This was the dress change song for Tarja, so it fell somewhere in the middle.
I believe the last song may have been Over The Hills, but atm I'm not certain.
@@kdkttn19 Wish I Had an Angel was the last song. :)
Yeah, not the last song. The migraine story is also just a fandom myth.
@@Darnaguen how do we know for sure? He sure looks in pain…hunched over, grabbing his head. Which story to believe, would be nice to know for sure
@@kquincy3068 Well, common sense and empiric evidence?
1) That whole story started on RUclips. Not once was Jukka suffering from migraine mentioned in any interview, article or message board in 15 years until around two years ago someone here made a speculation based on the way he's hunched over his drums -- something, which you'll notice if you watch more of their earlier live shows, he has always done when he's not playing. Not even in the official book. We know from interviews etc. Tarja wasn't feeling well that night (she had a bad flu). We similarly know Jukka suffered from chronic insomnia while he toured with Nightwish. Not a single peep on migraine. People just took that speculation and ran with it, which sometimes happens.
2) Migraine is serious shit, not just some headache. As someone who gets migranes myself, I'd be genuinely shocked if anyone with a migraine can play a full set of a metal concert without basically dying. Loud sounds, bright lights and any physical activity are pretty much torture in that situation. Again, Jukka did suffer from chronic insomnia so he's plenty badass for dealing with that already, no need to add imaginary migraines.
3) Honestly, he looks perfectly fine to me. In fact, I think he and Emppu show the weight of the whole situation the least during the whole concert. Tuomas and Marco are the ones whose body language screams unease, IMO.
I do understand that especially for newer fans it's difficult to know what's true and what's not, and people are eager to share something they've heard forward without always bothering to check if there are any legitimate sources for the information. Again, it happens. But while this particular case is pretty harmless, that's exactly why we should be careful what we repeat to others as facts.
End of an Era 🤘
There are some people who claim that Jukka was having a migraine during this concert. You should know that it started spreading on RUclips after a reactor's mother said it in a reaction video. The band or Jukka have never said anything about it. :)
I don't think that a migraine can be diagnosed after watching a video of someone. You actually have to talk to the person and do some examination. :)
Yes, that's fake news. Insomnia is only health problem they have ever mention. In any interview or video clip ever. No words about migrain.
There is NO WAY that Jukka could perform on such high level and this intense if he suffered from a migraine. Ask anyone who suffers migraines and they will say the same thing. Unless heavily drugged but then his sharpness and motoric skills would be compromised.
Hahaha. Me pressing my finger tips after you explained the difference in the tapping positions 😂😂
This sonng was sing 2005 new year in Hensinki
Thx HomeGnome :P
😍😍😍👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍
8.8 is a good score…I think it was at least an 8.899
In re-watching your excellent reaction I'd just like to add that Nightwish "Disturbed" the hell out of the original. As an old school PF fan I was dismissive of HH (and the Division Bell album as a whole) but NW's tribute is impossible to dismiss. Cheers
Gilmour has already publicly praised this version.
Nightwish would never disrespect Floyd. Too much respect for the Masters. This is more of a tribute to the great Floyd. who tries to cover a Floyd song? How do you improve or copy perfection?
Thanks again Homegnome !
Even David Gilmour was impressed with this version from Nightwish.
Question for you David. Are you familiar with Gary Thain's bass playing? In my opinion, he is one of the early great bassists along with Entwistle. Both bands had average guitarists as far a lead playing. Both bands used the bass very prominent in their live mixes and were much more than tuggers on the root.
Jukka had a severe headache , you see Empuu check him out after a sign from Tuomas.
I love PF but i think this version are better:)
Had to go and check your Pink Floyd score. It was 8.6 🙂
That Marco is not the lead singer is like having Lionel Messi or Diego Maradona sit on the bench for a football match. It only makes sense because Floor and Tarja are so extremely talented, also.
I know you love Nightwish and i respect your opinion, but to me, the Pink Floyd version is a masterpiece.
To me this version doesn't even get close to the original, but as you said, it's about personal taste.
I have heard that on this show Jukka on drums had migraine and that was the reason he leaned over his drums a couple of times and as you can see at one point Tuomas is nodding in direction to Emppu and you can later on see Emppu jump down from the drum raise apparently after have checked up Jukka.
That's an urban legend that was born in RUclips after a retired nurse saw this performance and speculated about the reason why Jukka was leaning on his drums. Jukka or the band has never said anything about it in interviews. A migraine can't be diagnosed just by looking at the person. :)
I bought the CD that had this song on it even thou all the other songs I already had from their other CD's just to have this one song.
