To Kel-n-Rich and to the wonderful and kind people I have come to know through my Nightwish journey I want to thank you so much for this thoughtful gift and the very kind words! Most of you know my passion for Nightwish ( understatement lol), but what you may not know is that their music has gotten me through some tough times. Tuomas's music goes straight to my soul. When I first found reaction channels over a year ago, hardly anyone was doing Nightwish songs. I wanted people to hear this wonderful music done by the very talented band members over the years. And I wanted to know how people would react to them. So I started getting to know how to navigate the reaction channels, not the easiest thing for a 60+ yr old woman. So that is the start of how I got here.
But besides the history and music of Nightwish I got to know, it was the people that I met along the way that kept me going and still do. When I am not having a good day all I have to do is come to TH-cam and listen to Nightwish and communicate with my friends. I have been known to babble, so I will stop now. Thank you again and what a great start to my day................... :-)
I am so glad you enjoyed this version of High Hopes! I love it. And no everyone I am not comparing. I just loved how they made the song their own. To me that is what a cover is. Okay now I am done! lol
The amazing Ann "Nightwish" Waychoff! :D Happy belated Birthday!
@@stevecain6377 Thanks! What a nice surprise!
@Ariel WainzingerThat is a good one. lol Thank you for the birthday wishes!
@Ariel Wainzinger All I can say is WOW. I will be sharing that. Thanks!
@Ariel Wainzinger Can never go wrong with a Tina S. video! So sad that she hasn't posted any new videos in 2 years though. :-(
Marco,what a voice !
Marco is unsung hero of Nightwish for sure.
Love Marco's vocals and Emppu is just killing it. The whole band is so tight and it shows here.
If some don't much note Emppu's guitar work - think how Pink Foyd he made that, yet with some spice of his own.
It's not always about how fast you can change the cords (that's kinda teen age way to see it) - the emotion is the goal: technique is the MEANS to get there.
I just love his work. He can do some crazy stuff if he wants to. But he's always in the service to the message, to the emotion, to the song. I just love his use of razor sharp precision legatos in this one. Delightful.
I always feel Emmpus riffs. Esp when he did Dead Boys Poem in Buemos Aires.
Agreed, he plays his part in the music, taking the lead where he needs to then falling back to support the other sounds. He's not there to show how good he is, he's just there to look cool, have fun and make beautiful music.
Nice find.... the female vocals in Nightwish are so amazing it's easy to forget how good the male vocals are as well.
I was lucky enough to see them perform this one live back on the Once/End of an Era tour. One of those moments that just blows you away..... I love the Pink Floyd version and would never have thought anyone else could do it as well as Floyd. I heard this and stood corrected. One of the all time great cover versions, it's a shame it is not more well known.
Another great reaction to an awesome song.
nightwish is so overrated... every cover band in our town is as good as them... to stupid for own songs and to stupid to cover songs...
@@seelenwinter6662 Where is link for your town band cover. I want laugh.
Marco is such an underrated singer; absolutely mesmerizing. And the irony is that you finally do a live Nightwish video from the Tarja era and Tarja's not even in the video!
They did to Phantom of the Opera a bit ago
RIP dear Ann we will never forget you
This band is the definition of musical perfection
When you get the lyrics, the song is so much more powerful. Almost tears to the eyes, especially Marco's impassioned performance.
Whoa!!! Didn't know his voice is that great. Thanks for the plug Ann.
Your welcome!
I sure miss the two of you!!!
I've always recognized Marco's voice right from the start. I've been listening to Nightwish since 2002, and it began with the album Century Child, where you can hear Marco's voice several times. He's phenomenal!
I was there. The atmosphere was really incredible during this, made all the more haunting by the nagging feeling that something was really wrong -- and well, as already mentioned by others, they parted ways with their lead singer and longtime friend Tarja immediately after the show.
Ann W you have great taste. That cover was amazing! Thanks for requesting that.
Thank you!
Masters, Marco's voice Emppu's guitar playing is so relaxed, I'm a Pink Floyd fan from the beginning on vinyl but this cover is perfect, and I don't usually like Covers
Absolutely incredible. Nightwish is simply amazing.
Another amazing composition of the best rock band in history: PINK FLOYD. Performed by the best symphonic metal band in the world. The combination can´t go wrong. I love this version and as a great fan of PF, I think it's perfectly done.
Another thing: Mr. Jukka, what a great drummer, I don't know if techinically he's the best or average, he´s obviously very good. But it's his style of playing, his passion, that shows in every performance. And I love his LATENT STATE.
Eduardo Acosta it's a real shame that his health is not up to long tours. Especially live his drumming sounds better than Kai Hahtos. No matter how much more technically gifted Hahto is.
What a great reaction. I love this song. Marco did an incredible job singing and the entire band was awesome. Thank you Ann W for requesting this and thank you Kel-n-Rich for reacting to it. I love your reactions!
Thanks Anthony! True joy and a gift to us, Ann and everyone who is part of it. Rich
Thank you Anthony! I am glad you liked it.........
Ann's a legend, her passion for all things NightWish is unrivalled 🤘
Thanks!
Happy Belated Birthday Ann!
Thank you!
I think you’re really going to like this cover Rich.I got goosebumps the first time I watched it.
Rich LOVE absolutely LOVE the Hendrix Tee!!! Yeah Nightwish has fantastic musicians who have played together a very long time and in this cover it shows. Doing a Pink Floyd cover takes a real band with real skills just to attempt never mind nail it like NW did here. Happy Birthday to NW's #1 FAN and may she celebrate many more listening to great songs like this!!. Thank you both for doing this, covers are something most people shy away from and a Pink Floyd cover most bands are afraid to touch never mind cover. Pink Floyd will always be Pink Floyd but NW did this song proud and their version was simply fantastic!!!
Thanks Night Wish. It is so nice to have you on this journey with me!
Marco is ten years older than the rest of them, and was already respected veteran of the Finnish metal scene when he joined Nightwish, and a lead singer in his own right.
He has a great 'novelty' band called Norther Kings, which is him and three other top Finnish metal singers who do metal covers of 80's songs. Check out their live version of 'Take On Me' which they put forward as an entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. It's spectacularly cheesy, but also awesome at the same time.

I love this version of Take on Me, I have managed to get 2 reactors to look at on live steams. Both reactors and the audiences were impressed with it.
Here is one of them. th-cam.com/video/yIXejKNoOpk/w-d-xo.html
You should check out Marc's earlier metal band -Tarot.
Great song! Happy Birthday Ann Waychoff!!
Thanks.........
What a beautiful cover of a beautiful song by the legendary Pink Floyd and justice rendered by Nightwish. Wow
I dedicate this song to the one and only Ann Waychoff
Wow! Two of my three favorite groups in one song. Happy birthday Ann! You can really see the talent Nightwish has in this cover of the genus that was Pink Floyd. Big respect being paid! This was very early Nightwish.
Now if I only heard Epica “Unleashed” it would have been a perfect morning!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very early? End of an Era was recorded in... 2005 I think? By that time they had been active for almost 10 years, had added Marco to the lineup (thank god for that! He's so awesome!) and 5 studio albums under their belts. I wouldn't call that very early.
In any case: superb cover and Happy Birthday Ann!
@@FzNd Thank you!
GeeKAdemics Okay, I hate to quibble over silly things but my point was this was recorded live in 2003 and released on a 2005 best of album. As of 2003 the band had been in existence for 8 years. Today in 2019, the band has been around for 23 years. This was therefore recorded early in their existence. Not a big deal and nothing worth arguing about. I agree Marco’s arrival in 2001 was a great addition to the band. Have a great day!
@@randywhite1724 It's all good, friend. I totally get your point of them being in a different sonic place nowadays than they used to be back then. 'Very early' to me just always has a ring of the innocence of their first two albums or so, rather than a good third into their lengthy career; hence my remark, which is, you are right to say, pretty much pointless pedantry on my part. All the best to you, too, good sir :)
Nightwish remake of pink floyd song is so awesome song that is my back of time
Great gift , beautiful on the highest level. Thanks for sharing your and especially hers moment
In an Interview Tuomas mentioned that next to Pink Floyd, Metallica was an Inspiration too 😎
Yes many years ago Tuomas was a exchange student here in the United States. He was taken to the Metallica concert then, and it had an effect on the rest of his career!
I think Pink Floyd would be happy with this Cover it's so good Emppu nailed the guitar solo's
Empuu is a very good guitarist. He just often chooses NOT to shred all the time.
I've seen comments in some of the GHOST LOVE SCORE reaction videos that he mustn't be a very goo player because that solo is so simple. But the little fella can shred like a demon when when he needs to.
@@RolandDeschain1 yep my thought exactly this song proves that he can shred very well people don't realize how good of a Guitarist he is
@one-eye obviously those commenters have never seen his solo in Romanticide 🤘
@@RolandDeschain1 That solo is simple but beautiful.
Fantastic, just fantastic.
Emppu made total justice to David Gilmour's guitar solo, super technical yet emotional solo as it's in pink Floyd songs. And Marco Hietala is an underated singer because Floor is incredible. Marco is amazing, he has songs he sings in Nightwish as "While Your Lips are Still Red". Also he sings "The Islander". Marco also has solo work and took part of a project called "Northern Kings" with the best Heavy Metal singers in Scandinavia IMO.
That was a first time reaction for me too! That is a nice version. Of course, nothing will ever beat the original (the emotion that Dave puts into his notes is unparalleled), but this is an excellent interpretation of a magical song!
Happy Birthday Ann.. Many happy returns... Thank You Rich/Kel
Thank you Mad Hatter...........
Thank you for this great reaction, i think your are a great fan from Nightwish like me.
Wonderful!!
Kel-n-Rich, cool to hear you lived in western Mass! I lived in Sunderland when I was at UMass in the late 70's. Hung out in Northampton a lot! Then lived in Southwick, just a few towns down-da-line from Northampton, for 37 years (worked in Connecticut) until 2014! Small world! And yes, I love this Pink Floyd cover too! You two just keep being excellent!
You can't argue with the brilliance of Gilmore, but this cover by Nightwish is such an equally brilliant production. This is so much more dynamic and emotional that I now have to count it as one of my favorites by Nightwish. Marko was fantastic. Truly a great performance.
another great reaction. sorry if im late but happy birthday ann .
Thanks!
Freaking love you guys! Also, Emppu (guitarist) is such a legend!
Amazing cover with amazing lyrics of gilhmor...
Stunning cover. Love your t-shirt Kel. Rich, where’s your hat? That mug can pick your nose while you drink, pat pending. 🤟
Happy birthday Ann and have a great day. It's a very good song 🎂
Thanks knut ruther!
Cutest Couple ever with an amazing Music taste and reaction! I love you!!!!!!! :)
Marcos Voice is so touching and unique…
Nightwish has the Midas touch 👍
They have made so many covers and all of them are gold😊
Great birthday present,happy birthday Ann😊🇸🇪
Thank you Nicke!
I can give you but a like and sub, but know that myself being born in USSR, my father who is unfortunately long dead used to make me acquainted with such priceless pieces of music, and this song in particular, and it's amazing to now in this day and age see people of your generation on the internet appreciating such covers of these classics made by bands that were arguably addressing my generation. I love you reactions, bless you.
A must see Nightwish Shudder before the beautiful live at Wembley arena
Nice reaction. It is beautiful how relaxed and loving you are together. Good energy. Your reactions feel personal and fun. Both of you are good looking to. Rich you are actually super hot even. I love Pink Floyd and I love Nightwish. Love to hear Marco. His voice is truly godlike. Happy birthday Ann!
Happy birthday Ann!
Great cover, I listen to this a lot. Wonderful example of Marco’s vocal talent. And everyone’s musical talent, if we didn’t already know it.
And my daughter wants a unicorn mug like that now.
Thank you for the birthday wishes!
@@fdsannie no worries! 😀
i love u guys bet couple reaction . i love the fact that you also mentioned my name in one of your videos. my birthday is the 1st of may so if you can do a nightwish reaction on that day it will be such a great gift congrats for being so positive and in love you are such beautiful people i trully appreaciate u 2 with all my heart
Great reaction as always and happy birthday to Ann! =) Just for some context: this song was played in 2005 at the very last concert that they played with their original singer, Tarja. Immediately after the show, the letter telling her their decision to fire her was given, so they played the whole show knowing that this was the end of an era (hence the title of the live DVD this is from End of an Era).
Thank you Corbin!
Great cover
Hi from Italy, you are a nice couple
Heya Kel n Rich, Marco has an amazing voice. Have a listen to Nightwish - While your lips are still red. Love your reactions, keep up the great work :)
Sweet mug and sweet Hendrix shirt!
Best Cover ever 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
according to this specific song I might agree with you. But there are so many absolutely great covers out there, some of them even top the original song. One cover for example I think is better then the original is the Saxon version of "ride like the wind" from Christoper Cross.
Ann really deserves this for being one of the most passionate Nightwish fans on the planet.
Thanks Tarmo................. :-)
I just love to see how all reactors sooner or later reminds me of those Einstein dashboard dummies at Night at the museum 2
😂😂😂😂
That was GREAT! I knew Marco had a good voice, but I didn't realize his was actually a GREAT voice. Kudo's Marco. I almost missed Floor. Almost.
You Forgot my birthday, was on last thursday. Nightwish Everdream Wacken 2013 ;).
a beauty... Happy Birthday...
Nice! No song requests from me this time, I'm sure you got enough already.
Northampton, huh? Nice town. Kind of out in the middle of nowhere, but it's a nice place.
And you definitely have to fill that unicorn mug with root beer or something so that the foam comes over the top and looks like brains.
ABOUT TIME!!! Nightwish - ALL-ways consummate musicians!!
Loved your whole birthday gift to Ann :) It had Pinks, Unicorns, Floyds, a moving story and Kisss (that's a kiss that isn't quite many kisses, but isn't definitely just 1 kiss neither.)
I know a dude in a band who writes songs and he says that Pink Floyd's songs are often quite simple melodies, but it's the arrangements and how they're all put together that make them brilliant. This song and 'Comfortably Numb' being prime examples of this.
I see a striking resemblance to how some people act towards Nightwish, not that I would are to claim they are on a same level to PF (they are close to that personally tho).
They don't have the flashiest long guitar solos or complex instrumentations than some metal bands, but the overall compositions are top notch always thanks to Tuomas
My first time reacting to that too! Really enjoyed that!! Ray Wilson also does a fantastic acoustic version of this song. On that note I'll be a #painintheask Steven Wilson - Perfect life
💜
Happy Birthday Ann!!!
Thanks a lot!
With this song I prefer Marcos vocals, but Gilmore's guitar solo at the end. Happy belated birthday Ann Waychoff! 🌺
My father turned 80 on aprl 8th... Congrats Ann!
What a coincidence, i'm a unicorn too, but don't tell anyone... 😊
This is a great cover by Nightwish!! Being my favorite band, I have heard this many times and always amazed 😊❤
Happy Birthday again, Queen Ann 😊 Thank you for bringing Nightwish forward always, and thank you Kel and Rich for reacting 😊❤
Thanks Anna! How are you!
@@fdsannie I'm doing ok, how are you? 😊
@@annagranath4287 I am doing better now. I had a rough week a week ago. Glad to know you are doing well........ :-)
@@fdsannie Glad to hear you're doing better! Always a joy to see you in the comment sections, you're awesome 😊🤘❤
Thank you guys! Love from India!
Try Bloodywood!
Happy Birthday Ann ❤🌹🤘
Thanks Pia my friend!
The real MVP here is jucka the drummer.. Man what a beast.. I hope he gets well and comes back to the band
#InThisMoment blood Los Angeles, California, U.S.
Kiitos!
I didn't know NW did a cover of this song. Division Bell is a classic. Another great concept album. Keep Talking is my favorite of that album
🤘
love your Hendrix tee shirt! So Im only slowy getting to know you guys, and really like your videos so far. I have never followed Nightwish, but figured I would go for it here on your video, who knows what might happen. Yes, High Hopes is a cover tune for anyone not named David Gilmour, but Im prepared to be surprised. Btw, think your audio volume is a bit low here.
You could easily see how Emppu &
Tuomas were in the ZONE when playing, just goes to show how under rated they are. Amazing..
What could go wrong with Nightwish? Nothing.
Love this cover, haters be darned :)
so on your logic someone with a different opinion is a hater.lol
I guess I'm darned then. I find his vocals to be over the top for this type of song. Mr Gilmour all the way I'm afraid.
sopwithsnoopy yep good cover, another good cover of this song is by gruhak
If thinking this song doesn't really lend itself to being remade as heavy metal bombast makes me a hater, then so be it. Almost all of the atmosphere and tenor of the original was lost. I've never seen this band before and I'm impressed by their musical chops, so there's that. But I think this cover was a misstep. I'm glad you like it, though. Music is a gift.
Awesome. Ann has become a bit of a legend in the reactors community, I have seen many comments on a reactors first Nightwish song. "Ann will be here soon" "Ann will fill you in on the band' etc..
I am glad you did this for her.
Regarding the song I think there are some bands who usually sound better live than on their albums. Nighwish is one of those.

Part 6 of 7 Reasons....
6. Alien Weaponry is a family affair beyond being a band of brothers
Lewis and Henry's father, Niel de Jong, an audio engineer, has played a big part in the group's development. He kept their "band room" well stocked with instruments and other musical-making and -recording equipment, and he served as the group's manager until its recent signing to German music agency Das Maschine. Maybe most important, he always went out of his way to teach his sons about Māori history and culture. "When we were going on road trips as a family, our dad used to point out locations and tell us stories about what happened at certain places at certain times," Henry says. It's heartwarming stuff - as they say: A family that slays together stays together.
This was Perfect Metal!
Approve!
Hey Rich-n-Kel,
Hoped that you both had the same reaction as I did when I had first saw this video!! And by the way, Yes you did and I hope that you can see them in concert and or at least get to meet Nightwish if they ever come to your neck of the woods!! Hope that you're having a good week so far and hope to hear from you soon!!
Thanks & Stay Metal & Keep It Positive!!,
Walter Gill -
With all due Respect to Pink Floyd , this version blows the original away
Who else would like to hear Floor tackle The Great Gig In The Sky? 😇
Not really no.
She sounds like a west country folk singer singing their own songs like Amarath so no I do not 🤔
@@maxrav1831 So you aren't a Nightwish fan? Sad.
Max rav FUCK OFF
@@ChrisPage68 I am a fan a big fan but I am even a bigger fan of Floyd and the great gig in the sky is perfection as it is.
awesome! I have been waiting Nightwish reactions from you! I miss Nightwish reactions from you! Please come back and react for another NW video! :)
Although I loved this reaction too! :) Can you do "ALpenglow" next? :)
Please react to more songs from this concert!
Great cover by Nightwish. I recommend #Queensryche and Dream Theater Comfortably Numb.
La mejor versión de rock
Sometimes Floor is so overwhelming we might take the rest of the band for granted. They are phenomenal! This is a tribute not a cover…imho. Doing it justice…Nightwish style!
Oh I love this cover. It was on my first Nightwish CD. Played that till it was grey. Anyway, liking unicorns?
#Gloryhammer The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee, trapped in a train to Gouda, the Netherlands. It's power metal about unicorns and evil space wizards. Gloryhammer doesn't take itself particularly serious, hence them playing in costume. It doesn't try to fix the cheesiness of power metal, it embraces it.
The importance of this is contextual - they were firing their female lead singer Tarja after the show, so the fact that she is offstage, and the lyrical meaning of the song, takes on added meaning
The only cover that comes close to the original
jesus... are you deaf...?
Seelenwinter 666 A cover shouldn’t be a carbon copy...I’ve been a Floyd fan for years and I’ve seen them live 3 times,This version doesn’t have the depth or richness instrumentally that the original has but I like Marcos vocals on this...more emotion than Gilmore though definitely lacking Gilmores guitar skills.And to be fair Gilmore said this is his favourite cover version of the song,reasonable praise imo.
@@mubbles1066 If you've been a Floyd fan for years then you should know how to spell Gilmour's name correctly.
Dream Theater does an epic live cover of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon-the whole album!!
Yes they do. 🤘 they covered a Rainbow song and a few YES songs as well
i think you guys said pink floyd comfortably numb isyour favorite/ how about van morrison cover of comfortably numb?
Emppu kills even harder
Marko is an amazing singer, already before he joined NW
#pinkfloyd Hi guys, love your reactions! Please, please do Pink Floyd Animals entire album. I think you will really enjoy it.
We both know it super well, so we will as a Rewind Reaction. I’m with ya!!! Rich
@@Kel.N.RichReactions Awesome, that would be a great birthday present for me(April 16). I really enjoy both your demeanors,cool & chill! Keep the reactions coming!
LOVE THE ANN!
Thank you Pony for every thing.......... You are a sweetheart!
