You are, without a doubt, one of (if not the) most accomplished and knowledgeable reactors on YT. Always appreciate your insight and comments. Thanks!
I concur!
Ditto
Agree with that 👍👍🤘🤘
I Cc!
I concur indeed XD
That magical night when Nightwish showed to their biggest audience to date that everything had fallen into place with Floor having joined their ranks. You can still witness it in the South American concerts leading up to this peak performance. The vocal flow between Marko and Floor here is really something else.
He must have thought many times already at that point, "hey, here's a songster that really feels & matches my voice". Tuomas realizing, 'wow, an ocean soul to give voice to my experiences'. Emppu finding someone to joke around with on stage, Jukka beating the h3ll out of his drum kit to announce the Valkyrie Goddess and Troy sitting there with a knowing smile, appreciating their fellowship on a metal mission. I reckon that those who were present at that most wonderful night henceforth viewed their lives as before and after Wacken2013. Cheers from Amsterdam!
Recently I took a journey, on youtube, finding the fan made recordings of Floor finding her voice with the group, starting in Seattle and finally getting to Wacken 2013, you can really hear how she took the songs, hesitant and small at first, but with growing confidence and stage presence, and by the time they got to the last concert in South America you could tell it was going to be awesome. Right, now to listen to this reaction :)
@@Alicatt1 Sounds like we took a similar journey. Now it's on to Pinkpop, so that's a mere 7 days to seeing the wolves unleash their magic (and something tells me that "uncle Henk" will be there as a bonus). Cheers!
floor houd wel van geintjes
@@fredverkerk838 Empuu is ook een grappenmaker 🙃
@@Alicatt1 en ik denk floors grootste fan
The entire concert was Floor showing that although none of the songs were ‘hers’ she was a worthy inheritor of the Nightwish back catalogue. The interplay between Marko and Floor just show how much Marko is missed.
Oh yes she was. Floor putting her own epic final touch on GLS showed that, imho, she already was way more than a worthy inheritor. She took Nightwish to another level. Apart from the stellar vocals, she relighted their 'fire' (hehe, see what I did there..)
And then the notifacation, Eric has a new reaction, i get a bigggg smile, yesss NW yesss ERIC yess Epic and from youre side again fantastic reaction... wil not ask for a song just say i concure😁
I concur
There's so much to say about this song, and this performance.
Floor soaring legato over Marco's gritty staccato is my usual description, and it is magical.
The sudden drop into a children's choir and then Floor with almost all the instruments falling away.
Performance wise: Floor is really slinky in this one; Jukka seems to use the stick-flipping as a sort of timer! ; Emppu hopping sideways across the stage; after the boy's choir in her solo passage, she has some long notes - notice the vibrato control, she'll start it straight and halfway through she gradually adds increasing vibrato and this is unique to her.
After getting used to the emotional overload Ghost Love Score gives me, this song has become one of my favourite performances of the Wacken concert. As you‘ve said, this is basically a very traditional metal song. What sets this apart are the harmonies Marco and Floor create and at the same time the tention between their different roles and song parts. Marcos rough and kinda brutal singing contrasts Floors almost etherial voice. And suddenly she digs even deeper in the dirt by growling lower and grittier than him.
This is absolutely brilliant and never gets boring to listen to. I absolutely love this!
This song is hard to imagine without Marko singing! He brings into it a completely own feel that cannot be imitated.
And now that the 2013 Floor sang this, I can’t imagine anyone else singing her part. And this was the first Nightwish song where Floor showcases her growling skills (2 times).
Man...do I love your show! I feel like a student sitting in a classroom, and you are teaching me the reasons why I have loved rock, heavy metal and now Symphonic Metal since I was an 8 year old boy listening to Jimi Hendricks for the first time, and being blown away by him!
And yeah....Ghost River is special...I just love Emppu! He's not only an exceptional guitarist... he's a great entertainer. Jukka's something special....!
But...I have problems sleeping...I was treated for insomnia and severe obstructive sleep apnea on early 2001. I have used a Bipap machine and Tramadol to help me sleep since then! Before I was diagnose, I was told I was getting less than 20 minutes of REM sleep in 8 hours. Which was causing me hallucinate, and fall asleep suddenly...which isn't good when you're working in retail!
So I kind of understand what Jukka's is going through. It's no fun!
so different nightwish song again. it´s like trade mark,that every song you get something new :) thanx to great reaction and have awesome weekend. i end tomorrow my 2,3 year covid stay home situation and i go next city bar tour :)
Tuomas has said that this song is a duel between the Devil and Mother Gaia.
There's another of their songs , that they performed at the Buenos Aires show, that has more of that back and forth between Marko and Floor. Somebody else already suggested it, so I'll go put an 'I Concur' on their comment. lol
I think you will also love ‘Devil and the deep dark Ocean’ in Buenos Aires!😀
I concur, also Slaying the dreamer pls🤘🏽
I concur.
I concur
I concur 💯
I concur.
I've always liked this song because of the creepiness of it and the perfect duality of Floor vs Marko. The roles they play in the story are perfect. The description, as I understand it from a Tuomas interview, are the Devil and Mother Gaia battling over a child's soul. Adding the children's chorus in the song amplifies the creepiness but it's oh so cool, almost like a horror movie. Having seen the Imaginaerum movie it's based on, it is a surreal and macabre journey. And Emppu's short simple breakdown riff is just slammin'.
She even sings in German these days. Having learned swedish first as a Dutch woman she found it difficult because her Swedish was cmessing with her learning to pronounce German but of course with her willpower and dedication she succeeded and sang amazingly in a german singing show.
This song brings me back both Van Halen with Emppu and Beastie Boys with Floor and Marrko with their back and forth. Love that song.
One of my favorite Nightwish songs. Thank You Eric! 👍💖
You noticed Emppu passing Floor with his hands up and waving. He was „saying“: See, I am doing nothing
To understand that, you‘ve got see, how he pranked her earlier that gig during „I Want My Tears Back“:
At about 45 secs you can see Empuu talking to Troy telling him what he is going to do. At about 4:00 you see Empuu go behind Floor and turn down the volume or turn off her in-ear monitor. Then she reaches behind her. The funniest part is at about 4:30 when Empuu crosses the stage again. Floor turns around to watch him so he can’t do it again. Here you see the height difference between Floor’s 6’1” in heels and Empuu’s 5’3”. They laugh at each other.
I agree, those two have developed a funny bond over the years, at the end of Ghost Love Score they always throw up the irons and touch fingers, it never gets old watching them having a blast with each other on stage, they don't just go through the motions like some bands, they genuinely enjoy playing with each other.
This is one my favorite songs of NW. This one to put on a spesific mood, when I need that extra kick in my day. This is a song for that. NW is a great band to listen to, when you need to get shit done :D
Your videos always cheer me up. Keep them coming :)
Really happy that you took time to look at this underestimated Gem ! The Contrast between Floor and Marko is stunning on this one.....and the Van Halen Vibes are strong :-)
Have you done a reaction to "Last Ride of the Day" from Wacken already ? if not....please consider in doing so.....This can be the Tutorial for "How to end a Show".....
All Hail Queen Floor !
I generally stop what I'm doing when your notifications come thru. Sit and watch and listen. 👩🏻🎤🔥
3:56, Floor growls(not visible). 5:22, Floors second growl(very visible). Once again, the versatility of her voice.
Again you remind me of the great 80’s music radio DJ’s. Your analytical knowledge of metal music is amazing.
This is definitely one of my favorite Nightwish songs. 💥💥💥💥💥
Thanks for your insights. This hasn’t been one of my favourites, but I enjoy it a heck of a lot more now.
I always love that occasional growl Floor sneaks in, the river that is beautiful, alluring, enchanting .. and dangerous. Great reaction as always, keep them coming.
Me too! Its subtle but gorgeous!
Yeah, and it is completely opposite of Annette's Falsetto, yet both work perfectly for this song.
Nightwish never fail to both entertain and inform in their songs, and they just create such great feelings whatever the mood is in the song. Wacken was one of the classic concerts, and even the Album on its own brings out all your emotions. Outstanding performance, Nightwish put on a show, not with gimmicks or crazy outfits but with pure class and musicianship
great reaction again Eric and i know the big ones are getting closer.ROCK ON
One of my favorites right here!!
What a fantastic way to start my day! Thank you so very much for reacting to one of my all time favorite Nightwish songs! I really do appreciate hearing your insights. I really hope I wasn't too pushy with this one. When it comes to Nightwish, I get super excited and want to share their music with everyone, especially with people who seem to "get it" and are willing to hop on the emotional roller coaster with us. Like most of their songs, this one resonates with me. From the catchy riffs to the dichotomy (hope that's the right word) between Marco and Floor's vocals, it evokes a lot of good feelings for me. Long story short, I was emotionally shut down for most of my life and started to "wake up" around 2015. It's been a hell of a journey since then and Nightwish's music has helped me get through it. They are one of the very few musical groups that have reached me on such an emotional level. So I really enjoy riding the emotional roller coaster with others on their Nightwish journey. It feels a bit cathartic for me and maybe it's just away to connect with others on an emotional level. I am so very thankful to be alive during this time to be able to listen and appreciate their music. Each one of them brings something special and together they are brilliant and amazing.
By the way, I'm really glad to hear you found the type of chair you were looking for! I work on the computer all day and believe that the right chair can make a huge difference.
Thank you again so very much for another great reaction! 😎
I knew you'd love this. Another absolute classic. Their vocals mix is great...
Oh how I waited for that - this song is still in my top 5 of nightwish songs. Yes, it is more on the simple side BUT dang this song is so addictive ! I love the combination of that heavy sound and those beautiful harmonies. And at the same time I always miss Marko so much ! Each time I hear a song with these two amazing voices, fitting together so perfectly I get a feeling of melancholy and loss. Another great and profound reaction Eric - thank you ! And btw - was so good to see that wonderful smile on your face :-)
Don't let the many requests for The Poet and the Pendulum put pressure on you. Your heart will tell you when you're ready, listen to it.
I disagree, let them pressure you! I want to watch you react to Poet!
@@vhaarr So you think what you want is more important than what Eric wants?
I agree, it’s a big one. Maybe he should back to the End of an Era concert before and watch Tuomas when Tarja sings Everdream. I did that and it really deepens the experience
I like it when, every once in a while, they come back and sprinkle in that classic sound.
Marko at his menacing and Floor at her enchanting mode. 😎👍
I did not think I would ever say this to someone, but congratulations with your chair!
I never thought I'd be so happy to find a chair!!
Cheers!!
Eric
That face Tuomas has on 5:07 always gets me.
You gotta be due for Poet and the Pendulum pretty soon. I think you're ready.
I concur
I concur
Yes, The biggest of them all ❤️
I Cc! 🤘 (the subbed version!)
Dang, almost missed this one! I concur Eric! 😃
That guitar kept the song going. I could still hear it even after it had stopped. Next week, on June 15th, is Aurora's Birthday.
Amazing concert, amazing songs. Nice you said Floor was at her best, at her peak. This is true and amazing again knowing that this was her introduction to the European fans. Just a few months after she joined the band. And looking at the concerts they did last weeks in the USA, she is still outstanding. Mindblowing every time.
This is a banger
I really love the growl vocal that Floor snuck in there. And I think that opening riff from Emppu was straight out of the Van Halen Playbook
Thanks thanks thanks Eric, you're 1000% okay in my book!
Its funny those mini growls from Floor here
Just came home from Sweden rock festival, a 4 Day festival and Nightwish played on thursday and it was great. Missed Markos vocals but the new guy was great on the base. 1,5 hours of great songs and ended Ghost Love Score and The greatest show on the earth 😍
Great, as always! I'm still waiting for Everdream, live of course at Wacken. Between that and Storytime I may have a favorite, but I will say that every single time, the second half of Everdream brings me to tears or at least teary-eyed, because I know I am witnessing something beautiful. The talent on display is otherworldy. Floor's voice as you know by now can do just about anything, but Everdream has a laser focus on one particular facet of her voice. It's amazing. Truly.
🎼 Nightwish Live at Wacken Open Air 2013 🎶 Correct speed - FullHD - Remastered 🎶 ( th-cam.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/w-d-xo.html )
Setlist of this concert: 1. Dark Chest of Wonders, 2. Wish I Had an Angel, 3. She is My Sin, 4. Ghost River, 5. Ever Dream, 6. Storytime, 7. I Want My Tears Back,
8. Nemo, 9. Last of the Wilds, 10. Bless the Child, 11. Romanticide, 12. Amaranth, 13. Ghost Love Score, 14. Song of Myself, 15. Last Ride of the Day
Audience in this concert was 82k+
Bless the Child was the closest to a mishap when Floor had an issue with getting her top zipped up all the way and nearly missed the start of the song after her wardrobe change, you can see her running back on stage and grabbing the mic at the last second. Preceding that was Last of the Wilds, just the guys out there jamming with each other on an awesome instrumental.
Saturday, I have to get on the treadmill, oh wait! Eric has a new Nightwish reaction! Problem solved
Shinedown has a new single Daylight”. New album 💿 Planet 🌎 Zero out 7/1. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love watching Marco in this video he just has that boss bass player look🤘🤘
This song is from "Imaginaerum" (the seventh studio album from Anette era).
Marko has great menacing tone here , and Floor Growls ( only few will notes this ). Plus , this song has a crazy Van Halen Vibe to it ( Van Halen - Aint Talkin' Bout Love comes to mind ).
This song took me several listens and deep dive at first , and now I listen this song daily . Love this song !!!
Nightwish Shadow Unit From Estonia 🤘😎🤘
You'll soon be able to hear Nightwish in your own country (Pirita / Tallinn, an interesting place to perform!), About a month longer ... Apparently the gig is sold out. (Me and a few friends were thinking in the spring if we came to Tallinn.)
@@jukkahelminen9071
I know and I can't wait . I have VIPs for me and my son 🤘😎🤘.
Love this! Emppu opening with a massive Eddie Van Halen-tribute(Ain't talkin' 'bout love-ish) on the guitar, rest in peace Eddie.
I find it interesting to look at set lists. At Wacken 2013, "Ghost River" was the first song played from the Imaginarium album. They were pretty deep in the set list. I always feel it was the band saying "Hi world, we have a new singer. Don't these songs sound better?"
Always enjoyed your Nightwish reactions.Thank you!
Hallo Eric and good evening. I can't believe, thats the first time you listening to this song. It is really my favorite of all, so typicall NIGHTWISH, a signature. Never new why, but your reaction explaines it to me. Thank you. Greetings from Germany 🤗
5-20 years into the future and there are many female singers who say Floor is their biggest inspiration.
Try to imagine this song with any other than Floor and Marko..
Marko's dirty voice are the perfect description of the Devil.
Snd Floor... Floor's range, power and techniques are really necessary to bring this song to a level like this - she tells the story so you feel in your spine - she is the greatest storyteller ever.
I would recommend "Deep Silent Complete" from the Buenos Aires 2018 concert - it's a song about the Ocean - simple lyrics, but the techniques Floor uses, makes you flow around on the waves of an ocean. You are there - and that's storytelling 👍🤘🤘
Excellent reaction vid. You have a lot of knowledge and give it to us… very deep insides - thx for this. Maybe you could do also a very different Nightwish song: Elvenjig / Elvenpath (live from Bogota) 👍🏆
I Concur !!!
I concur. Awesome live video, song is from 'Tarja' era. Gotta love it! Old Skool NW...
Absolutely Concur.
I concur !!!
I concur!!
This song could definitely be on mainstream how can we get this on radio to get more people exposed to these Masters of music
Hey bud i always look forward to catching your reviews, top notch, if you ever get chance check out Toumas's " a lifetime of adventure" with his wife Johanna on vocals you won't be disappointed it really showcases his talent for composition.
Keep up the good work 🙂
Another fantastic reaction and analysis. Love the comparison to David Lee Roth and Anne Wilson. Spot on! Maybe time for Dead Boys Poem?
After perusing through the comments, I’m leaving a ‘Like’, and ‘I concur’
Eric has already done Dead Boys Poem. It was a very heartfelt reaction.
I concur!!! 😄
I concur!
Greatest show on earth, when? It is a Master piece you should react!
Hi Eric! Getting down and dirty with Nightwish. I like it a lot! Great reaction, thank you.
All my comments are '' oh I love this live version '' but I love it all 😂🤟🏻
Love love this so much! Dang though, I sure miss Marko……
Hey Eric! Glad to see you're still coming back to this uniquely gifted band especially with the lineup including Floor and Marko. I know you're one song closer now to The Poet and the Pendulum 😅
Praying for you and your fam
Love your flock of seagulls hair. Anybody concur 😁
I was leaving for work when I saw the signature green background pop up with a new reaction. I've been waiting for this all evening and Eric, you did not disappoint. Although for some reason your face is shiny. Maybe a little powder. In my eyes you have become my Kasey Kasem of reactors. My favorite song from this concert is "Bless the Child." I think you'll have a lot to comment on. Well done, as usual.
Suggestion, 10th Men down(Buenos Aires) .
A very powerful song with awesome lyrics. 👌
The Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy and the Viking are singing 🤲
Hail Nightwish 😇😇😇😇
YESSS!! I concur!!
Marko's voice always gives me goosebumps on this one, he sounds so sinister lol then Floor sounds all beautiful but also haunting, like she's as "evil" as he is, and wants people to cross the river just to drown, so they would have another ghost, but towards the end is like a third entity enters the room, a protective one "never loose your heart and do come across" as long as you keep your good nature, and don't let the "evil" taint it, one will be able to cross it without any danger (that's just my opinion here lol i could be completely wrong)

Finally you got to my all time favourite right next to Ghost love score, thanks! 😎
Design your Universe (live Retrospect) / Unleashed (live Retrospect ), Cry for the Moon(live Retrospect) - Epica

Ategnatos / King / Aidus (New video) - Eluveitie
Rebel in the F.G.D. or The great Missconceptions of Me - W.A.S.P
Great stuff again Eric. Loved it. Definitely a more straight forward song from Nightwish. I love how Marko sings very rhythmically as Floor soars over the top using her voice as an instrument. I concur!
The opening riff reminds me very much of Van Halen's "ain't talking bout love". Not the same notes but the same feel if you will :)
They can show it when they want to.
This song has always given me Halen vibes
Really liked your analysis of Floor as a David Lee Roth/Ann Wilson hybrid. Spot on. I also believe the US market has never seen this level of talent combined with anything like Floor's behavior and personality. You should spend some time watching the "Fan Fridays" clips on her TH-cam channel. I wonder if you will be as taken as I was? It's difficult to believe this woman is not a household name in the USA---despite the fact she's a European.
Some very familiar Van Halen sounds in there from Empuu as well 😎🤘🔥
yeah, and his little tribute to Metalica during the Greatest Show on Earth with the Enter Sandman riff. Another Tuomas masterpiece of songwriting that hits you right in the heart at the end
YOU HAVE TO REACT TO , THE POET AND THE PENDULUM,
THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. LOVED YOUR REACTION. PLEASE TAKE MY SUGGESTIONS IN TO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU
Top down GTO , well said. The metal Mozart is well framed in your narrative
Hi Eric I loved those two little growls from Floor. Marko is Marko
Thanks
Great reaction. Will try again to suggest Sahara at Tampa 2016 as although I got several concurs they weren't enough. LOL.
ROCK to 🇫🇮🤘❤
Glad you found your favourite chair bud! Hope it serves you well 😃😉 Again another great reaction to a great NW song. Can't help but wonder though, for some reason you're postponing 'The Poet and the Pendulum'. Is it because of the expected sadness that WILL get the better of you, or is it something else what's keeping you from reacting to this one..? Grtz from the Netherlands 🤘
Please don't underestimate how hard The Poet and the Pendulum can hit when you have a personal backstory you connect it to. It brings tears to most people who listen to it, but for some it is much more than sadness. On some days it crushes me completely and yes, Tuomas builds me back up at the end of the song, it is cathartic. It reaches very deep within and you have to be ready for this.
Does the Poet and the Pendulum have a personal connection to your life or is it just a song about Tuomas for you?
Poet and the Pendulum is probably the most personal and difficult song to play for Tuomas, he doesn't have the vocals playing in his in ear monitors because he gets too emotional during the song especially the way Floor sings it, you can see how emotional when you watch him during the song, it always brings back painful memories for him about a very difficult time in the bands history and the way he includes actual lines from a letter his mother wrote him during that time when he was deeply depressed and contemplating ending it all is especially powerful, but decided to do it through his music instead as a form of self therapy and the way Emppu and Marco go over to him at the end to stand together because it was a band decision to part ways with Tarja, I don't know if it was intentional or not but visually to see the three of them on one side and Floor on the other is striking. It's a total BANGER in some parts and soft and beautiful in others, you can actually hear the range of emotions he was feeling during the writing of this song from rage to regret to making peace with it.
Another great Nightwish reaction. Thanks for sharing.
Whilst not metal related, I'm wondering if you've listened to much music by Alan Parsons. He has a new album coming out in July and his record label has released the album's single Ooroboorus, which features the lead singer of Styx as special guest. It's well worth a listen to and it would be interesting to get your reaction to it.
Little bit of van Halen love in there too :)
Freddie Mercury is Floor's spirit animal.
They are dead in the water without Marko. They probably don't even play this song at concerts anymore. This concert is the only Nightwish concert I will ever need to watch.
Sorry to hear that you feel that way. I saw them 2.6 in Rockfest here in Finland. They were still so awesome! I miss Marko too, he and Floor were just heavenly!! But man... They can still pull together an awesome, energetic conserts that puts a huge smile and teary eyes to people faces
This is an amazing song.. the intro reminds me a little bit of Van Halen. Great reaction Thank you!
Good one!
Emppu Rocks!
That is all!
🤩👍💥💯
As you've said quite "traditional" Heavy Rock track with more Metal stylish interlude. Their 'formula' works, even with one hand, so to say.
Nice nice reaction män and keep on rockin with them.
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
"The Greatest Show On Earth" live in Tampere, but you will need an extra can of that beverage.
Oooh, Eric nice dirty Jackyl reference!! This song is a straight banger. It took me weeks to nail Marko's tongue twisting chorus...but its really satisfying!
Everyone rocking so hard 🔥 And Emppu ❤️ Maybe next Everdream? You should also give another try to Poets Of The Fall... And them some Amorphis 😼
I concur, defenetly some Amorphis🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks for your reaction!!! Will you react to Epica soon again? It'd be great if you reacted to Unleashed live Retrospect show 🙏😊
Hello Eric! If your goal is to hold on some more for the masterpieces 'The greatest show on earth' and 'Poet and the pendulum' (you are absolutely ready for those, just do a liiiiitle research before), you have some really good choices before those. So here are some suggestions for you:
Sudder before the beautiful (Wembley)
While your lips are still red (Wembley)
I want my tears back (Buenos Aires)
Devil and the deep dark ocean (Buenos Aires)
Last ride of the day (Wacken)
Dark chest of wonders (Wacken)
Stargazers (Tampere)
Two quick tips for masterpieces (sorry for the long message). You should definitely choose version with lyrics! There is going to be a battle for the right version of the 'Greatest show' (Tampere or Wembley)
Tampere: fireworks matching the music on the intro, amazing energy
Wembley: Troy's e-bow replace the chelo pre-recording, Richard Dawkins himself talking at the end.
Poet and pendulum: Choose the lyric live version instead of official. Audience satisfaction guaranteed 😉
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 🤘
Eric has already done Shudder Before The Beautiful and The Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean. GREAT REACTIONS :)
While your Lips are still Red is an emotional song because it basically says appreciate what you have while you have it, it makes you really think about what's important in life, a beautiful song that Marco does wonderfully, either version of Greatest Show on Earth is great but troy plays different instruments on each but on both Kai must lose at least five pounds due to sweating while playing that song, he's a machine on the drums in that song for 23 minutes straight, my favorite version is Tampere because I love watching them come out and have a moment with the crowd at the very end, they do love their fans and want them to feel a part of it all.
Nice Jackyl name drop. Pretty underrated back in the day. They might seem ridiculous but they put on a great show!
Hmm…have you done last ride of the day, by Nightwish of course? If not, my recommendation, of you search it, the one where Marco is wearing the early 1900’s leather flight helmet and goggles, haha, the best live version I’ve found so far.
Brilliant analysis as always. This song is a wonderful example of what you describe as "Flowers on a Battlefield".
BTW. Floor and the band are killing it on their current world tour, despite missing Marco's incredible counter and complimentary voice to Floor's. The new Jukka is great on base... but no vocal addition so Troy has to fill in. Don't misunderstand, Troy is a fantastic instrumentalist and has a lovely voice but can't match Marco's range. Still, I loved watching them live in San Francisco.
It is very interesting on Nightwish's current tour that Tuomas has swapped places with Kai so that he is centerstage and Kai is on the audience's lefthand side of the stage. The reason for this was that Floor's mike was picking up too much of the cymbals and drums so they made the swap.
I can't wait for Nightwish to release a professional video from the European Summer Festival part of their tour for you to react to. All the best, Eric.
Eddie Van Halenish Riff is awesome!!!
