Gratest show on earth DO Tampere for the special effects they are very special/Cool you will miss them if you do the Wembly Version. that show does not have thies very special special effects.
While I agree Tampere is a great show to react to, I would actually like to see Tank discussing the Wembley one, because he's mainly a guitar tech and would probably be one of the only reactors out there being able to explain what Troy does there ;) they changed the intro for Tampere...
So I was saving this comment for sometime now. The reaction thing on youtube it´s a ongoing thing nowadays specially with some metal bands. There are a lot of youtubers like you that react to this kind of content, being myself a metalhead and knowing most of these bands, this is really enjoyable. However, most people are or "normal people" or vocal coaches, which is interesting to some degree but your reactions are unique man, that´s why I love your videos. Being myself a musician I´ve always loved the production side of things, stage props, pyro, GEAR, festival facts and info, etc, etc. I have learned a lot from your videos and please keep up with your content is one of a kind on youtube, it´s super entertaining, and focuses on info that other youtubers don´t really touch on and at the end of the day those things really matter in the atmosphere of a live performance. #Roadieskeeptheshowgoing
@@TankTheTech you are welcome man, it would be very nice to see you react to Metallica, Slayer, Rammstein or Iron Maiden cause they have tons and tons of production but you probably know lots of material from them so it would not be a true reaction. Keep up the good work 😉
@@kamikaze96ification YES and YES. Most reaction RUclipsrs don´t react to those bands cuz it´s like, they are just so big (maybe), but being this channel so unique in that aspect, I support 100% your proposal. For Maiden, it has to be the "Iron Maiden" song, with a big Eddie haha (Chile 2011?)

I´m gonna stress everything others recommended regarding The Greatest Show on Earth: 1) Do the Tampere version. This is a must. 2) Chose the longer one with the end credits (it is the final song of the DVD and the concert) and watch to the very end. My personal advices: 3) Chose the version with lyrics - you may check them out before reaction, but it´s still very handy to have them there. 4) Have a time of your life. :) You can experience it only once. Me and my colleagues in theater, we played the whole album Endless Forms Most Beautiful for the first time on our big sound system, and this final song in particular is something I remember to this very day - even though we did not have it with video. I´m looking forward to next Wednesday. :)
@TankTheTech, U must go for the lyric version, you'll just appreciate it more. My first listen for the song was the album version, ofc because preordered EFMB and it actually was delivered midnight it was released. So envious your first listen of TGSOE will be the epic Tampere version u lucky b*stard :)
You should do the search and put the right link to the video you are talking about ... it would be so much simple ! This one is complete w/o lyrrics: ruclips.net/video/45brzDJKZ3o/видео.html
Still consider While Your Lips are Still Red. It's different and worth a listen. Floor isn't the lead vocalist. Marko is and it's a ballad. The live version is best because Floor and Troy are included in the support unlike the studio version.
So, just a kind reminder: Watch The Greatest Show On Earth to the very last second. Otherwise a bunch of angry fans goes riot. Unfortunately, if I recall it correctly, there are some videos of it which cut the final part off.
One thing I noticed was that a lady in the audience that appeared on camera for a second at this concert also is filmed in the Wacken 2013 audience for a couple of seconds so kinda fun to see her at two different nightwish concerts three years apart.
Make sure you use the Tampere version next week (you reallly want that version believe me!!!!!!) and it is also nice if you make sure you watch the complete video
Yeah, but the Scandinavian crowds usually have the hype of a dead rotten animal. Don't get me wrong, I know they are loving it. But they literally "watch" the concert. Being south American is a crazy and annoying cultural shock. But cmon, everything else besides this and immigration laws they do to perfection.
@@dimoraes0902 Non of the places I mentioned are Scandinavian, if you use the original meaning, even with the broader definition only Tampere/Finland can be regarded as Scandinavian.
@@dimoraes0902 Then I have no clue why you responded to my comment, where I talked about the audio and video quality of the Wacken, Wembley, Tampere and Buenos Aires performances and started with "Yeah, but..." This typically means that you refer to the content of the comment you respond to.
I saw them 5 times, and one of them was at a festival in 2016. They weren't headliners, Iron Maiden was the next after them. Nightwish had an insane amount of production, but sadly they couldn't use any pyro, because a big thunderstorm happened at the start of their show. It was of course still amazing, Steve Harris from Iron Maiden liked it too, I saw him watching Nightwish's performance from the side of the stage.
I think that was a good choice to use this performance. I missed it completely. So thanks a lot, now I have to go and look for more songs from that festival. Stay safe Dirk PS looking forward to next week.
Just wanted to say that Nightwish performances are all so great, there really is no such thing as a wrong video. Personally this reaction was friggin awesome to me, and I loved it!! I am glad you did this one, because I've never seen anything from this show, and I loved it! Right on!
My take on this concert is that I don't know who was in charge of the camerawork, but they seemed oblivious to the fact that there was more to this than just Floor. They seemed to neglect Marco's parts FULLY, and barely showed Troy's and Marco's instrumentals! This is on me but I don't believe that I'm wrong here. This is a TEAM effort and even though Floor is the Valkyrie, there were and always will be the entirety of Nightwish. Again, I don't believe I'm wrong here. If you think that I am then I can accept that. Bottom line.....far too much focus on one than the all.
Re: Your remark on Marko not playing both necks of his double-neck in a single song -- He does. In this song. The acoustic part in the middle, sandwiched by bass playing on each side.
@@TankTheTech Actually, when Marco wears the double neck is because he means to use both: He does it here, he does it in My Walden, he does it in Dead Boy's Poem, and probably in some another song that I am forgetting. In fact, I think the only time he uses the double neck to play just one instrument is when perfoming The Islander.
Another awesome Nightwish Wednesday. Great to see a different show featured too. Can’t wait for GSOE next week, it should be epic! Tank you NEED to do the Tampere show for that one, preferably a lyric video, but watch it until the VERY end to get the full effect. Looking so forward to it... Thank you for all your hard work!
Beautiful theatrics from Floor. Such a natural performer of lyrics abs feel. This is one of my favourite Floor vocal tracks as she mixes it up a little. Great track!
Great reaction Tank ! Thanks for checking that live version, i had never seen it and it's always cool to discover new versions, and pay attention to the small differences in the way they play and sing !
This is definitely one of my favorite songs from Nightwish. What is missing from this video compared to the Tampere video (in addition to Kai's drum solo) is that Marko has not been highlighted very much in the video and his guitar part in particular is not visible at all! By the way, I just read Marko's interview today (in Finnish). Here are a few excerpts from it: "Hietala has hardly been able to perform like other musicians this year and Nightwish, for example, has postponed its tour to next year. Hietala has already managed to stop stressing things out. - It was a bit stressful at first, when I didn't really know when and what would happen. Eventually, as the pandemic dragged on, the attitude has changed to look at when something can be done about it, Hietala says and continues: - We were left with an almost finished production untested and we should have started the tour in the spring from China. As you might guess, you really couldn’t go there. I still have time to do my own solo gigs at the beginning of the year, but since then we have been on hold. Hietala says that he has personally managed financially, but for example, the work of Nightwish's tour staff has been frozen when the gigs were canceled and no other artists can perform. The staff did make an album called Crewish to make their own versions of Nightwish’s well-known songs. The proceeds from the album will help staff who are currently unemployed - I have to say, that record is damn hard! I listened to it several times and always grin on my face, Hietala says. Nightwish doesn’t know yet if it will do streaming gigs. According to Hietala, the band's ambition is at such a high level that production would require a huge amount of everything: that stage production ... "We've talked about it, but at least we don't know yet if we'll do it or not."
I still can't understand how Floor can do the heavy headbanging and then singing with perfect pitch and breath control half a second after... She's a goddess for real
Imo, that's one of their most underrated songs and may be my favorite from the EFMB album (apart from Elan and the Greatest Show, although that last one is a beast of its own and shouldnt be compared to "regular songs").
Having watched the popular versions of this song I have to say this was epic in both production, sound & lighting. The pyro was just crazy. Nightwish don't perform songs they do masterpieces and this is no diffrerent. Just simply fantastic.
The reason we keep recommending Wacken, Wembley & Buenos Aires, is that the audio mix is top notch, Wacken is one of the best live audio mix I have ever heard. For example I have watched their show for Rock in Rio and Wacken 2018, but unfortunately the audio is terrible.
this is another good pick for showcasing the power and versatility of this symphonic metal and what this band with this spectacular singer can do with that voice of hers holy fire lord
Thank You!!!!!! I've seen the other versions a million times so this is a welcome change. This is one of my top 3 and I think this version maybe my favorite as far as the videos go!!!
Next week will be epic!!! Bring it on! When my little girl who is 9 this weekend saw me watching Greatest show on tv she stopped, watched and loved it, describing Nightwish as “magical sounding” she gets it!
Marco plays both on several song. Dead Boys Poem, Weak Fantasy, My Walden, & Elvanjig. "Kiss the Ring" good one, but she was referring to the Pope. You really know your special effects my friend. You are really giving Floor a run for her money with your windmilling and headbanging! This is a good one, but it does not show Marco playing his doubleneck guitar or the lyrics on screen. Loved it again Tank. Great job as always. Peace.
Thanks for reacting to this version, Tank! I like it a lot and for me it's way more intense than at Tampere or Wembley and I also think to see some emotion with Floor when she sings "Mother's milk laced with poison for this newborn" at 9.14. She was pregnant for a couple weeks and she knew it. She also mentions her pregnancy in the Nightwish We were here - book (2018) and I'm sure the hormones were kicking in.
Tank, thank you for this one! I have never seen this one from Nightwish, and I live in Sweden. Bråvalla was a no go for me do to the most popmusic thing. I noticed that one of the front persons in the fan crowd a woman is in front of at least three live videos from Wacken, Wembley and Tampere. She is a true fan!!! Damn... I need to know her and get all the shows! All respect to her! So, my dear Tank! You must come over and live the Sweden Rock Festival! The best thing would be if i could get you and Chase over here to Sweden Rock Festival 2021... lets hope the c-shit are gone by that time and I could get this to a reality! Let´s make contact!
Awesome timing man. I had this song stuck in my head on a 12 hour shift all night last night. I wake up to see your reaction to it! Great reaction as always and amazing song!
Big Stage setup - Well, Nightwish never do anything "Low Key" as far as I know. I think it's great fun to snoop around and find different versions of NW songs, that's when you find things like Rock In Rio gig and the one at the Download Festival in the UK. One of my latest find is NW live in 2004 where Marko is introducing his personal Shrink to the crowd, Mister Finlandia, and everyone in the band has a short "conversation" with him. Elderberry juice in the bottle I think, if you say anything else your PG Rating will go up to an "R". I'm actually a bit surprised by how much pyro's they had, given that fireworks basicly are forbidden in Sweden. Maybe stage pyro's isn't included in that restriction. I bet there is lots of people telling you to do this or that version of TGSOE, so why shouldn't I chip in too? I say Tampere is the one you should look at. While other versions (Wembley?) have a guest appearance at the very end that is quite noteworthy, we (speaking to other viewers now) - We should keep in mind that Tank is all about the stage setup, screens, pyro's, lights and all other forms of visuals, and since Tampere is an outdoor Arena the visuals are on a scale that simply isn't possible at an indoor Arena. So, my recommendation is Choose the Tampete version, it's the best one for things that you look for. You can have a look at Wembley later. Cheers / B. (And sorry for this lengthy comment).
Thank you for reacting to this version. I was there! They're amazing live, so happy I had the chance to see them. I went just for them (and Rammstein hehe).
The secrets of the universe unfold; The Dutch windmill is the skill of authentic Nightwish fans to travel in time and place. Tank, You Were There, 11:58 😳
Hopefully next week won’t be some obscure version...Tampere is the version with all the production wowzers that Tank loves, and we are all looking forward to seeing him react to.
You realise when we eventually find the live video Empu doesn't play the EV-1 then the fabric of the universe will collapse. We live in dangerous times.
Thanks Tank, great to get a different festival, hadn't seen this one but it still rocked hard, love Floors facials when she sings this song and the mocking nature of it.
Glad you chose this version, all versions are a little different and all just as amazing. Floor always changes her toning/ singing tiny bits between the shows, often depending on the crowd - therefore - brilliant choise this Swedish version. A little more "calm" here and there, but that's ok - it's still early morning in Denmark 😂
Brings back memories, this was the first and so far the only nightwish show i've been to, amazing to see that you picked this version 🤘 And if i remember correctly they played from 11 PM to 12:30 AM
excellent choice, my man. this is one of their best -in my opinion, ya?- to lead up to next week. this has just about everything you want in a NW song. am excited! :D
Thank you for bringing me back to the night that reignited my love for Nightwish. Didn't hurt that the lineup also included Rammstein and Amon Amarth :)
Bråvalla 2016 had Six stages Healiners Rammstein, Mumford&Sons, Volbeat. Other acts were Tenacious D, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Hardwell, Veronica Maggio, Nightwish, Biffy Clyro, Bring Me The Horizon, Wiz Khalifa, Bullet For My Valentine, Afrojack, Lukas Graham, Editors, Five Finger Death Punch, The 1975, At The Drive-In, Bastille, August Burns Red.
As mentioned below, the Tampere version is best. There is a recent cut of it that blows the others away - the low-quality full-length, the 4K chopped-off. This one is 4K, does not chop off the end, AND has the lyric subtitles added! ruclips.net/video/bl6lUfIMkGM/видео.html
Btw, in an interview, Steve Harris said several years ago (even before Floor I think) that Nightwish is one of the bands that he thinks will become huge in the new era. And, prophecy fulfilled.
Yeay!! Nightwish Wednesday..... My favorite day of the week. :-) Btw...this festival was AWESOME! I am so HAPPY that you choose this version, which is my FAVORITE! (Eventho Kai's intro at the Tampere festival was "TIGHT") Thank you once again Mr Tank! I cannot wait until next wednesday....he,he.... HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Always love watching your videos on Nightwish Tank, and seeing your reactions whenever they do something else that you did not expect in the songs. Awesome choices for the opening and closing songs on this video too! Can't wait for The Greatest Show on Earth (you just have to do the Tampere version) next week. Keep it metal!
Great choice for this song! I feel that this is one of the best recordings of Nightwish, which aren't their official releases. Great and bold decision to react to this song \m/
Greetings from Finland & thanks for reacting to one of my favorite Nightwish songs with Floor & Marko sharing lead vocals. I hope you don't mind me suggesting this amazing new progressive metal band from Israel with world class musicians and a female vocalist on par with the best of them, including Floor Jansen of Nightwish: Scardust - "Tantibus II" LIVE 16/10/2019 ruclips.net/video/dvKILNRbo84/видео.html The vocalist is Noa Gruman, who not only composes the music, but also designs & makes her stage outfits. Moreover, she's also a classically trained pianist & cellist and even conducts an internationally touring choir that has performed with bands like Amorphis, Therion & Ayreon. On top of all that, she has served in Israel's military for at least two years & trained her vocals with Floor Jansen the same amount of time.
You anyway should do the Tampere version, I think the mixing is so much better on that one. Weak Fantasy never got me on the album, but live it is the absolut killer.
Another great reaction. This song is one of my favorites. Tank it's raining here where I'm at in St Louis and I thought it would be cool if you could explain if there's anything extra in the setup for an all weather show. Thanks and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Great reaction as always Tank! Cannot wait for next week, you are in for a treat!! As people have no doubt said, make sure its the full version with the talking after the song finishes as there are versions which miss it off!!
Doing great Tank, Know you're getting closer to the "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Live Tampere) When you get there, suggest one with on screen lyrics, and as always do Not turn off the video until the screen goes absolutely black, (after credits). There's always something in every NW video at the very end that is just an added plus, even if it's just a Floor sweet "Thank You!". Looking forward to it.
The death of Bråvalla Festival hurts me as a native Norrköping lad. It was literally held just 15 minutes from my house back then and those years were amazing. I watched this Nightwish performance live and it was awesome. It's a damn shame people can't behave properly, this festival had the potential to rival Wacken Open Air...
@@annakickan Det värsta du kan tänka dig, våldtäkter. Många. Hjälpte inte ens att skaffa vakter som patrullerade campingen, flera sexuella överfall skedde varje dag under sista åren som festivalen var aktiv.
Yeah Bråvalla was before both Wembley and Tampere... I went both to Bråvalla and later on I took a cruise over to our neighbours in Finland and watched the Tampere show. My nieces wanted to go, but could not get hold of four extra tickets before Bråvalla, not like i complain seeing them twice thou. :o)

I got to work today, and thought "Oh, it's Nightwish Wednesday!"
The chemistry between these band mates is clear. They're having fun and like each other.
I've listened to the other versions countless times so this was very refreshing to hear and watch a different performance!🤘😁
I love how in Nightwish concerts the crowd behind the front row wants to start moshpit but gets interrupted by the melodies and Floor.
Make sure you use the Tampere version next week (you reallly want that version believe me!!!!!!) and it is also nice if you make sure you watch the complete video
Normally Wacken 2013, Wembley, Tampere or Buenos Aires get recommended because they have the best audio and video quality.

Having watched the popular versions of this song I have to say this was epic in both production, sound & lighting. The pyro was just crazy. Nightwish don't perform songs they do masterpieces and this is no diffrerent. Just simply fantastic.
The reason we keep recommending Wacken, Wembley & Buenos Aires, is that the audio mix is top notch, Wacken is one of the best live audio mix I have ever heard. For example I have watched their show for Rock in Rio and Wacken 2018, but unfortunately the audio is terrible.
I really am so excited for the greatest show on earth. I was at the Wembley show and I was just mesmerised when they played it! 🤘
this is another good pick for showcasing the power and versatility of this symphonic metal and what this band with this spectacular singer can do with that voice of hers holy fire lord
Floor is so beautiful in every live-show what I`ve watched, but in this one she looks super STRONG, so beautiful, I love this!
Great Reaction, Tank!!!! Absolutely loved reading the Live Chat, too. Can't wait for next week!!!
Glad you decided to see this performance. I think it's severely underrated. Interesting to watch you as always. Keep rocking..
Thank You!!!!!! I've seen the other versions a million times so this is a welcome change. This is one of my top 3 and I think this version maybe my favorite as far as the videos go!!!
Next week will be epic!!! Bring it on! When my little girl who is 9 this weekend saw me watching Greatest show on tv she stopped, watched and loved it, describing Nightwish as “magical sounding” she gets it!
My favorite Nightwish song. Also never saw this version. Thanks for doing that one!
Marco plays both on several song. Dead Boys Poem, Weak Fantasy, My Walden, & Elvanjig. "Kiss the Ring" good one, but she was referring to the Pope. You really know your special effects my friend. You are really giving Floor a run for her money with your windmilling and headbanging! This is a good one, but it does not show Marco playing his doubleneck guitar or the lyrics on screen. Loved it again Tank. Great job as always. Peace.
A hard, heavy NW song, and the headbanging just crowns this performance.
Thanks for reacting to this version, Tank! I like it a lot and for me it's way more intense than at Tampere or Wembley and I also think to see some emotion with Floor when she sings "Mother's milk laced with poison for this newborn" at 9.14. She was pregnant for a couple weeks and she knew it. She also mentions her pregnancy in the Nightwish We were here - book (2018) and I'm sure the hormones were kicking in.
Tank, thank you for this one! I have never seen this one from Nightwish, and I live in Sweden. Bråvalla was a no go for me do to the most popmusic thing. I noticed that one of the front persons in the fan crowd a woman is in front of at least three live videos from Wacken, Wembley and Tampere. She is a true fan!!! Damn... I need to know her and get all the shows! All respect to her!
So, my dear Tank! You must come over and live the Sweden Rock Festival! The best thing would be if i could get you and Chase over here to Sweden Rock Festival 2021... lets hope the c-shit are gone by that time and I could get this to a reality! Let´s make contact!
Great version!! Not surprised that Floor looks really stunning in this one (she always does).
More then 10.000views in a few hours. This really the Nightwish Army at full strength!
I never seen this version before. I think it’s awesome. Thanks 🤟🏻
nightwish delivers and delivers ... thanks tank for sharing our love to this special band. stay warm.
Thanks man, my favorite song just before the big one. Big thumbs up for finding a more rare version for this one.
Awesome timing man. I had this song stuck in my head on a 12 hour shift all night last night. I wake up to see your reaction to it! Great reaction as always and amazing song!
Big Stage setup - Well, Nightwish never do anything "Low Key" as far as I know.
I think it's great fun to snoop around and find different versions of NW songs, that's when you find things like Rock In Rio gig and the one at the Download Festival in the UK. One of my latest find is NW live in 2004 where Marko is introducing his personal Shrink to the crowd, Mister Finlandia, and everyone in the band has a short "conversation" with him. Elderberry juice in the bottle I think, if you say anything else your PG Rating will go up to an "R".
I'm actually a bit surprised by how much pyro's they had, given that fireworks basicly are forbidden in Sweden. Maybe stage pyro's isn't included in that restriction.
I bet there is lots of people telling you to do this or that version of TGSOE, so why shouldn't I chip in too? I say Tampere is the one you should look at. While other versions (Wembley?) have a guest appearance at the very end that is quite noteworthy, we (speaking to other viewers now) - We should keep in mind that Tank is all about the stage setup, screens, pyro's, lights and all other forms of visuals, and since Tampere is an outdoor Arena the visuals are on a scale that simply isn't possible at an indoor Arena.
So, my recommendation is Choose the Tampete version, it's the best one for things that you look for. You can have a look at Wembley later.
Cheers / B. (And sorry for this lengthy comment).
Got a link to that 2004 live where Marko introduces his shrink to the crowd? I'd love to see that!

@@mbo191 Kiitos!
@@MsCatstaff - You are welcome! 🤘
*pyro, not pyro’s
Apostrophe abuse annoys me.
Thank you for reacting to this version. I was there! They're amazing live, so happy I had the chance to see them. I went just for them (and Rammstein hehe).
So were they headlining?
@@stevecampbell9670 No they where not headlining
Sahara is my favorite Nighwish song. The Annette version and the Floor version are both EPIC.
The secrets of the universe unfold; The Dutch windmill is the skill of authentic Nightwish fans to travel in time and place. Tank, You Were There, 11:58 😳
Hopefully next week won’t be some obscure version...Tampere is the version with all the production wowzers that Tank loves, and we are all looking forward to seeing him react to.
The most educational music reactor in the business! With one hell of a windmill game!
Thank you!
You realise when we eventually find the live video Empu doesn't play the EV-1 then the fabric of the universe will collapse. We live in dangerous times.
Thanks Tank, great to get a different festival, hadn't seen this one but it still rocked hard, love Floors facials when she sings this song and the mocking nature of it.
Glad you chose this version, all versions are a little different and all just as amazing. Floor always changes her toning/ singing tiny bits between the shows, often depending on the crowd - therefore - brilliant choise this Swedish version. A little more "calm" here and there, but that's ok - it's still early morning in Denmark 😂
Brings back memories, this was the first and so far the only nightwish show i've been to, amazing to see that you picked this version 🤘
And if i remember correctly they played from 11 PM to 12:30 AM
Thank you for introducing me to this dope af version Tank, I can't believe I haven't seen it before!
excellent choice, my man. this is one of their best -in my opinion, ya?- to lead up to next week. this has just about everything you want in a NW song. am excited! :D
Still for Tampere or Wembley version. Love the crazy crowd there😜😁
Thank you for bringing me back to the night that reignited my love for Nightwish. Didn't hurt that the lineup also included Rammstein and Amon Amarth :)
I love how I can tell which song is playing at the start in the background. Love a bit of Amorphis :D
Bråvalla 2016 had Six stages
Healiners Rammstein, Mumford&Sons,
Volbeat.
Other acts were Tenacious D, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Hardwell, Veronica Maggio, Nightwish, Biffy Clyro, Bring Me The Horizon, Wiz Khalifa, Bullet For My Valentine, Afrojack, Lukas Graham, Editors, Five Finger Death Punch, The 1975, At The Drive-In, Bastille, August Burns Red.
This was the song that made me fall in love with the album. I like Tuomas when he's not being subtle.
As mentioned below, the Tampere version is best. There is a recent cut of it that blows the others away - the low-quality full-length, the 4K chopped-off. This one is 4K, does not chop off the end, AND has the lyric subtitles added! ruclips.net/video/bl6lUfIMkGM/видео.html
Btw, in an interview, Steve Harris said several years ago (even before Floor I think) that Nightwish is one of the bands that he thinks will become huge in the new era. And, prophecy fulfilled.
Yeay!! Nightwish Wednesday..... My favorite day of the week. :-) Btw...this festival was AWESOME! I am so HAPPY that you choose this version, which is my FAVORITE! (Eventho Kai's intro at the Tampere festival was "TIGHT")
Thank you once again Mr Tank! I cannot wait until next wednesday....he,he....
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Perfect song to charge up your batteries for next weeks GSOE! One of my absolute favourite NW songs.
Hadn't seen that rendition before. Awesoem! Thanks.
Always love watching your videos on Nightwish Tank, and seeing your reactions whenever they do something else that you did not expect in the songs. Awesome choices for the opening and closing songs on this video too! Can't wait for The Greatest Show on Earth (you just have to do the Tampere version) next week. Keep it metal!
Tank you MUST react to "Last Of The Wilds Live At Wacken 2013"... that song will sure give some tears in your eyes bro... that song is just magic!
Great choice for this song! I feel that this is one of the best recordings of Nightwish, which aren't their official releases. Great and bold decision to react to this song \m/
Cool version! I had not seen that performance before, but it's a good one. 👍
this is definitely one of my favourite favourites...
Greetings from Finland & thanks for reacting to one of my favorite Nightwish songs with Floor & Marko sharing lead vocals.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting this amazing new progressive metal band from Israel with world class musicians and a female vocalist on par with the best of them, including Floor Jansen of Nightwish: Scardust - "Tantibus II" LIVE 16/10/2019 ruclips.net/video/dvKILNRbo84/видео.html The vocalist is Noa Gruman, who not only composes the music, but also designs & makes her stage outfits. Moreover, she's also a classically trained pianist & cellist and even conducts an internationally touring choir that has performed with bands like Amorphis, Therion & Ayreon. On top of all that, she has served in Israel's military for at least two years & trained her vocals with Floor Jansen the same amount of time.
You anyway should do the Tampere version, I think the mixing is so much better on that one.
Weak Fantasy never got me on the album, but live it is the absolut killer.
Tank...Dude, you HAVE GOT TO braid your beard up like Marco's for the next Nightwish reaction. It would be EPIC! :D
Agree 100%
I can't imagine how tough it would be following Nightwish on stage.
This is one of my absolute favourite NW songs. Great stuff as always Tank!
Nice one Tank, one of my favourite Nightwish songs 🤘🤘
This song was immediately one of my top 3 songs from EFMB on first listen. Underrated and lesser reacted to I’d say.
Another great reaction. This song is one of my favorites. Tank it's raining here where I'm at in St Louis and I thought it would be cool if you could explain if there's anything extra in the setup for an all weather show. Thanks and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Yes!! Great choice and great reaction!
Thanks for reacting to this concert vid, Tank! I haven't seen this one before.
Great reaction as always Tank! Cannot wait for next week, you are in for a treat!! As people have no doubt said, make sure its the full version with the talking after the song finishes as there are versions which miss it off!!
Wow man that version rocked! Gotta check out that festival now. Thanks for the reaction!
Love that Song
Never saw that version before. Cool to see it. Missed the drum intro that the Wembley and Tampere shows have but I liked this one.
Great show too! Nice react, lots of info, thanks!!!
Oh great, I haven't seen this version! It was a badass performance. This song just rocks!
Doing great Tank, Know you're getting closer to the "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Live Tampere) When you get there, suggest one with on screen lyrics, and as always do Not turn off the video until the screen goes absolutely black, (after credits). There's always something in every NW video at the very end that is just an added plus, even if it's just a Floor sweet "Thank You!". Looking forward to it.
The death of Bråvalla Festival hurts me as a native Norrköping lad.
It was literally held just 15 minutes from my house back then and those years were amazing. I watched this Nightwish performance live and it was awesome. It's a damn shame people can't behave properly, this festival had the potential to rival Wacken Open Air...
Yeah, everything I read about it made it sound like it was gonna be the next huge Open Air Festival in Europe. Bummer.
Vad hände?
@@annakickan Det värsta du kan tänka dig, våldtäkter. Många. Hjälpte inte ens att skaffa vakter som patrullerade campingen, flera sexuella överfall skedde varje dag under sista åren som festivalen var aktiv.
Yeah Bråvalla was before both Wembley and Tampere... I went both to Bråvalla and later on I took a cruise over to our neighbours in Finland and watched the Tampere show. My nieces wanted to go, but could not get hold of four extra tickets before Bråvalla, not like i complain seeing them twice thou. :o)
Love the reaction, your focus on gear always brings a whole different perspective! Good stuff!
