In a small venue or huge festival... Nightwish sound is always massive 🤩. This Beautiful gem of a song is so underrated , Thank You Wally for reacting to it !!!! PS: that strange guitar sound Was Troy with an E-Bow NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
I am so grateful that Nightwish tours in the US. They could make so much more money adding dates in Europe or South America but their commitment to all their fans is just outstanding. Hoping that more and more people in the US discover and support them.
One of the best NW songs that goes under the radar too often! Marko’s short base “solo” is so tasty. Glad you enjoyed it. That effect you heard during the interlude/breakdown was Troy playing the e-bow on his guitar.
Troy is using an E-Bow on his guitar to get that Middle Eastern sound. He's sort of imitating the sound of a mizmar, the reed instrument we often associate with Middle Eastern music.
Nighwish, Heilung and Sabaton are the bands I really love listening too and I prefer their live performances to their studio ones. Everyone in Nightwish is a super star for me. This is a great song. Great reaction :)
I LOVED this song on the album! I'd actually really suggest listening to the studio version (doesn't have to be a reaction, just on your own time) which features Anette as the lead vocalist. I think her voice really suited this song.
How about trying Kai's (the drummer) previous band Wintersun? Time (live rehearsal at Sonic Pump Studios) should be a nice one to start. Also, Nightwish's new bassist Jukka who is currently replacing Marko is also ex-Wintersun.
Another great song. An under appreciated performance not as often reacted to. You’re deep in the rabbit hole now. I think you’ve still yet to see either opening song from the Wacken show, Dark Chest of Wonders, or the Wembley show, Shudder Before the Beautiful. Both were great at kicking things off. Agreed that live is best way to enjoy Nightwish. Great to relive the discovery of this band through your reactions.
I would still love to go to one of their concerts in a smaller venue. As much fun as huge festivals such as Wacken et al are, the intimacy of a small venue is something special alright.
I saw Nightwish live once, at a festival. There is something about those notes soaring through the open air. That's why I love the Tampere version of TGSOE. You see the universe they're describing.
Forkless, I am the exact opposite. In the USA they only play smaller venues, and they are a blast to be so close to the band, it does hinder the experience. No pyrotechnics, and a much smaller video screen and production. I really want the full experience of the show
I think you are absolutely correct in valuing their live performances over the studio ones. Based on your comments, the NW army may have another man in its ranks😀.
This is a great performance of a song that should actually be part of their regular set (it is a song that could survive without Marko). A great indicator of Floor’s immaculate vocal ability is the number of times in Nightwish songs when the music drops away, leaving the singer exposed and the necessity to sing beautifully, knowing that any fault in the pitch would be amplified by the surrounding silence. And Floor nails it every time.
One of my fav Nightwish Songs. And what i love here, the Camera shows a little bit of Kai's drum work. Very good reaction 🤘👍 greetings from northern Germany
Those sounds in the middle are being made by Troy using an Ebow on the electric guitar. The Ebow is a hand held device that uses magnetism to create a vibration on the string. The effect sounds somewhat like a violin. It does not require a pluck of the string, but causes the string to make a sound indefinitely allowing for unique soundscapes to be created. One of my favorite songs using the harmonic minor scale to create a Middle eastern vibe.
Hello Wally, thanks for your reaction ! Well, nothing wrong with their studio version but we , or i , would miss the live performance ! seeing the performances from everybody, the smiles and the fun they are having on stage, i never skip a song from a dvd of nightwish, i remember cd's , i skipped and skipped, next, next, i don't have this with nightwish ( for me it has to be with Floor) otherwise i skip reactions, but that is personal taste . See you at your next reaction , bye
My 1st experience with this song was Yannis Papadopoulos' cover version. It absolutely blew my mind. I think it could be worth to be checked out, too. And, of course: Thanks for your great reactions! Love to watch them. Greetings from Germany!
Great choice, one of my favourites. Love Emppu's intro, Troy playing droning effect in background with E-bow, Marko's super bass section, in fact everyone with Floor at her best. So many of the studio performances are NOT Floor and she brings so much to every song in the live versions.
Hope you will do The Carpenter in this song Troy is the lead vocalilst. When starting with Human:Nature please do them in order. This album is a journey
The into part remind me of the theme to McGuyver and the chugging gives me Sad But True vibes… non of those references are ment to take anything away from the song - I really like this one.
After this you have to go for: Elvenjig/Elvenpath - it fits on an awesome way…. by the way, you will be surprised (a little bit - because you will be surprised on every song 😂)
yeh it's weird, they seem to get such a boost of energy and emotion when playing live that it makes all the difference. they sound great on their recordings, but there's just something missing. all the little tweaks and changes they add over time also contributes to this ofc, but it just feels like there's an ingredient missing in their recording. and that is the pure joy and excitement of the crowd feeding them energy and emotions, which makes them play even better, sing even better, and have fun! studio recording is so clinical and such a boring process of recording the same snippets over and over to get it just right, i'm sure it kills the emotion they are trying to portray. when playing it live they just go for it!
Hi Wally! Can I ask you one question..... Do you feel like your life has got a new (extra) dimension since discovering Nightwish? (and yes, I know it's technically 2 questions) ☺ Much Love to you 💙💛💙
Your not alone my friend I personally like live recording over studio NIGHTWISH IS JUST one of those bands that sound better live......IMO Great reaction
Somehow the intro Empuu played reminded me of something from my youth, the musical version of Jesus Christ Superstar. And yeah that was considered blasphemy in those days. Still have the double LP, box version, unscratched, and complete.
No, she wasn't. Her top had a wired hem, which makes it stick out so that it gives the effect of a maternity top. But I checked the exact dates, and this show was just about a year before she had Freja, so she would have become pregnant about 3 months after this video was made.
Nice one Wally. Much underplayed track and it's great. Floor is not dancing around as much as usual as she is pregnant. She is married to the drummer from Sabaton.

This show was awesome!! I’m 6’2” but they still managed to keep me off the camera …lol
Glad you did this. Sahara is underplayed and brilliant.

That effect you heard during the interlude/breakdown was Troy playing the e-bow on his guitar.
That is the problem when practically ALL of your music is a 10+, all of the 9.5's get pushed back.
@@stephenclark5812 oooh, yes, this comment, 100%!
I love this song so much! I feel like it doesn't get enough attention, so I'm glad you checked it out!
Troy is using an E-Bow on his guitar to get that Middle Eastern sound. He's sort of imitating the sound of a mizmar, the reed instrument we often associate with Middle Eastern music.
The guitar effect you mentioned was Troy…the Swiss Army knife of musicians….using an e-bow on his guitar.
I LOVE this performance! ❤️Tuomas smiling at the beginning 🥰
Nighwish, Heilung and Sabaton are the bands I really love listening too and I prefer their live performances to their studio ones. Everyone in Nightwish is a super star for me. This is a great song. Great reaction :)
Don't worry about pausing. People are here for the commentary as well. Some just like to complain and will do it no matter what.

YES PLEASE
I second that. Time is an awesome song.
I absolutely love when marker takes a high notes and floor goes an octave lower Jesus Christ . It always takes my breath away
Such a great song.
The guitar effect will be Troy using his e-bow on his guitar. He uses it on a couple other songs too - very cool. :)

@@drewciferf3293 I get your point, It's a bit of a "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" type of argument.
@@forkless you're right. I love the small venues all my favorite European bands play here in the States. But just once I want the arena show
I think you are absolutely correct in valuing their live performances over the studio ones. Based on your comments, the NW army may have another man in its ranks😀.
You now know that there will be a false ending...
Scheherazade, 1,001 nights.
Live, yes, absolutely!

Great reaction once Floor & Nightwish get inside your head then the heart its never going away (4Life)

Hope you will do The Carpenter in this song Troy is the lead vocalilst.
When starting with Human:Nature please do them in order.
This album is a journey
The into part remind me of the theme to McGuyver and the chugging gives me Sad But True vibes… non of those references are ment to take anything away from the song - I really like this one.
Oh damn. I’ve listened to this song so many times but I never picked up on the McGuyver thing. Can totally hear it now lol
This is a gem, loved it.
The guitar effect you noticed was Troy playing with an ebow. There are several songs on which he does so. Nice reaction, again.
This one has a great studio version. Annette sings this song on the album. She was the second vocalist.
That was brilliant Wally! I love Sahara but it doesn't get reacted to very often so thanks !
There multi instrumentalist Troy was using an Ebow it like this magnet thing that creates this vibration on the strings giving that cool sound.
My second favorite song
After this you have to go for: Elvenjig/Elvenpath - it fits on an awesome way…. by the way, you will be surprised (a little bit - because you will be surprised on every song 😂)

This is a song where Anette’s studio version is better than Floor’s live. Anette’s voice just suits to this song perfectly.
I love both.
You are really in to NW now. Love your reactions.
NW is really Good but I really miss your Dirty Loops reactions.
Hope to se some in the future.
yes they're always fresh, energetic, and fantastic, even (if you notice) I believe Floor was around 5 or 6 months pregnant, nothing deters her!
That was March 23 2016 & her daughter was born in March of 2017 .
Its because the studio stuff isn't Floor singing unless its the last 2 albums
Yes! That "noise"is London symphfonic "metal "orchestra(recording) +Troy with e_bow watch you tube dokuments from London
That effect was Troy on the e-bow
Hi Wally!
Can I ask you one question.....
Do you feel like your life has got a new (extra) dimension since discovering Nightwish?
(and yes, I know it's technically 2 questions) ☺
Much Love to you 💙💛💙
Your not alone my friend I personally like live recording over studio NIGHTWISH IS JUST one of those bands that sound better live......IMO
Great reaction
You have to do this song with Tarja. Siren by Tarja is haunting and awesome. I Love Floor but The Siren is Tarja's .
Have u ever reacted to Amorphis...... they too have cool use of the keyboards n r very much like nightwish 😜🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇬🇧
I would like to suggest you to react Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars live rehearsal at Sonic Pump Studios remastered. Please and peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼
Somehow the intro Empuu played reminded me of something from my youth, the musical version of Jesus Christ Superstar. And yeah that was considered blasphemy in those days. Still have the double LP, box version, unscratched, and complete.
the studio versions of the songs you have reacted to actually have a different singer on them fyi
😁🇫🇮🤘❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁✨👍
I think its Sleeping Sun from Tampre has more of the E-Bow action giving that song a more haunting sound
Sleeping Sun doesn’t have the E-bow. You might be thinking of " While Your Lips are Still Red" from Wembley 2015
Was Floor pregnant at the time? She looks like it.
No, she wasn't. Her top had a wired hem, which makes it stick out so that it gives the effect of a maternity top. But I checked the exact dates, and this show was just about a year before she had Freja, so she would have become pregnant about 3 months after this video was made.
this concert took place on March 23, 2016 and Freja was born a year later, March 15th, so the answer is no
Nice one Wally. Much underplayed track and it's great. Floor is not dancing around as much as usual as she is pregnant. She is married to the drummer from Sabaton.
Get a chance, look up the lyrics. The song makes more sense..
She is pregnant here?

When that song stopped for a moment the crowd was silent at first because they are in the moment
