What better way to conclude the year as to recapture one of its outstanding highlights by revisiting Finnish Symphonic Metal legends NIGHTWISH taking the likewise legendary Wacken Open Air by storm? After being decorated with triple platinum status in Finland as well as gold status in numerous European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, among others) for their most current studio masterpiece »Imaginaerum« and following the highly successful release of their very own fantasy motion picture »Imaginaerum by Nightwish«, the band is closing in its cycle of the `Imaginaerum World Tour´ with a festival triple -- Wacken Open Air being the first of those final shows. The `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2013-2013 visited in 34 countries, consisted of 104 shows with total audience attendance of over 1,5 million fans.
And what would be a better way to celebrate the grand finale as to capture the entire show at Wacken Open Air -- the world's biggest heavy metal festival -- for a live DVD/Blu-ray? The live show in the front of 85 000 screaming metalheads was directed by Ville Lipiäinen, filmed with seventeen cameras and has a total duration of 85 minutes.
Mastermind and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen states:
"The time has come soon to wrap up the magical & memorable one-and-a-half year `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013! We still have three shows left, one of them being at the legendary Wacken Open Air Metal Festival on the 3rd of August. This show will be something extra special, since it will be released later this year on DVD/Blu-ray, together with a massive `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013 documentary. Our darling flying Dutchwoman, Floor Jansen, has been nothing but incredible during her time in Nightwish on this tour, so this is a perfect opportunity to immortalize the current vibe of the band on film! "
The second disc consists of 120-minute tour documentary 'Please Learn The Setlist in 48 Hours', with no short of drama or overall madness. Also, there is a 16-minute NIGHTWISH Table Hockey Tournament, filmed on tour. On top of this there are two music clips: 'I want my tears back' (Live at Hartwall Arena) and 'Ghost Love Score' (Live in Buenos Aires).

My favorite song to sing live is Ghost Love Score!
On my first tour with Nightwish I started to sing the ending differently, to add something to it. Then there was a concert DVD [2013’s Showtime, Storytime] showing this, and everyone wanted to keep hearing the new ending. It suddenly became a ‘thing’ - there was expectation, so it became special for me. Thank you everyone!
Thank you! for taking an already perfect song and taking it to a new dimension.
-and you do that with most, if not all of your performances.
There are 7+ billion people in the world. Most of us would be happy to be the right piece that completes a puzzle.
It's awe inspiring to see that it's possible to not just be a piece that can finish the puzzle, but you can also add a glossy finish & a sculpted frame to it.
You & Nightwish - Please keep making that beautiful music for the soul
One of the best songs ever
Echt Floor, ik vind dit zo´n uitzonderlijk goede uitvoering. Zelfs na tig keer geluisterd te hebben blijft het kippenvel komen. En zeker het einde,. Magistraal.
I listen to this one at least once a week! :)
This performance was my introduction to Nightwish, and every time I revisit it's so energizing and inspiring to hear and see. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
The national anthem of symphonic metal
Sometimes i ask myself between this and The Bard's song but Floor always wins
THIS RIGHT HERE. THIS IS HOW YOU DESCRIBE THIS SONG!
If you're looking for an argument from me, you'll have to keep looking.
@@mhahn135fair but I’d say the Bard’s Song is more power metal
Here in 2023, and this is still possibly one of the best performances by any band ever.
Вы видимо найтвишь первый раз услышали. Вот с Тарьей были выступления, а это так себе, ни о чём вообще. Через сентизатор лошадь пытается орать.
Stop saying "ever" goddamnit
@@The_cherry_Fairy особенно смешно, учитывая, что вся магия Тарьи - это куча ею же записанных бэков, которые включались на концертах, и без которых она звучала как и должна - обученная, старательная, но совершенно рядовая классическая вокалистка, уровня Урюпинской филармонии, или задних подпевок хора Красной Армии. Флоор как исполнитель на несколько голов выше.
I trully believe this song will be playing at the final credits in the end of the world
@@The_cherry_Fairy Версии с Trha УЖАСНЫЕ. Этот человек похож на кричащего пингвина. Ее выступление слабое и скучное, и в конце она просто уходит со сцены, в тот момент, когда Флор начинает свой СЛАВНЫЙ финал.
I'm sorry but this is world historical music. This is insane. True and pure talent. That's more than I can EVER even try. Yet we have the likes of all these pop singers making billions. This music is far beyond that.
I feel the same. This must have felt like hearing Mozart play live, or watching Michelangelo chisel his Pieta. Truly don't think I'm exaggerating. So sad that I stopped going to Wacken two years before that, and missed the chance to experience this with my own full body.
...and I went 15 consecutive years until 2011. Saw and heard them all, I thought the In Flames shows were always the greatest, until I saw this. It's lightyears ahead of anything else.
easy to digest is the TZerm. Thats nothing Metal will ever be. SO, Taylor Swift, as talented as She is, will always get the Money with 10 Words, and 4/4 Chorus/Verse/Chorus/Bridge/Chorus, 3 Minutes -End. Pppl dont want to invest in Music, they want to digest, easy and fast. Thats Pop, and it got its very mercantile Place in our western Culture. Symph Metal, Classical Music, and many other Niche-Variations(in term of Listeners/Money grossing) mostly got in Common, that they are not resolving by the first Listening. So, no Airtime, mostly play on special Stations.
Thats modern fast Life, and i doubt we can change this. But we can cherish the Pearls like Nightwish for ourselfs in our Communities, for me thats enough:)
Nightwish sadly here in the USA is just about unheard of, I took my car in for an oil change at the dealership yesterday, the girl who bought the car around for me said she was enjoying "Ever Dream" , said she had never heard of the band......just sad. Hopefully I opened her eyes and ears.
@@davidphillips4706 and yet you spread the Word, good Job, Brother:)
This music, this voice needs to come to the US. It should not be allowed to be overlooked.
The little smile at 9.34 when she knows she nailed it.
And rightfully so...
Love that part. Can you imagine? "Yep, I nailed it and it's gonna be on a dvd". :D
Perhaps its more of 'enjoying the moment' because when does she ever not nail it?
Ghost Love Score was the song that made me discover Nightwish, so it holds a special place in my heart. And with Floor, it's like I'm rediscovering it again! Her performance sends shivers down my spine... Especially that part:
"Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep
Relive the old sin of
Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast"
..
Hussein Caceres I have to disagree with "They are Nightwish again". Nightwish never ceased being Nightwish. It just had a different singer. As long as Tuomas is around, the essence of the band will remain. Now, wether or not you like their singers is up to you, of course.
Did you perchance discover Nightwish through YTMND, then? Ghost Love Score was kind of a big fad theme back in the day. ;)
Arcterion
On the Internet, that's an eternity. :p
Renegade Paladin Me? Nope. The song was actually in a TES IV: Oblivion video.
A nordic goddess singing beyond human capacity
2024... Nothing can beat this show. It's truly incredible how much energy and power she can give... and the musicians are so good too! Definitly the best!
Devin Townsend beat everyone but this was a really legendary show from Nightwish
Jukka, hitting those drums like they stole his lunch money.
I miss him.
HUZZAH, AN ORIGINAL COMMENT!
@Olga Viola not for taxpayers tho :/
@Olga Viola in Canada we have to pay for it but almost Everyone bring their own lunches beacause the food is not that good
They did steal his lunch money.....
how many arms and feet has this drummer??? just a god ........
I'm totally with you on this one.
Absolutely, he's very underrated
That was a man? Jesus, i saw sn octopus for the hole thing
Jukka Nevalainen is incredible! My favorite drummer in all of Metal. He is talented, passionate, and just a fucking boss! I was sad when he had to step down due to his battle with insomnia. He still works with Nightwish on the side but I do miss seeing him and hearing his craft but glad Kai from Wintersun is on it. Kai and Jukka being friends makes me happy that he stepped up. And then when Marco stepped down and Jukka Koskinen from Wintersun stepped in as bassist for the VR livestream. Anyways, great fucking drummer.
Sixteen of each, why do you ask? :P
No matter how many times I hear this song I still get goosebumps.
1000 % agree
The sound mixing team at Wacken deserve a Nobel prize.
Yes, that recording was very well done. Visually AND sound. Also capturing those many details of the band, of the crowd.
It seems the majority of the praise goes to Floor’s vocals, which are otherworldly amazing, to be sure. But the band is truly outstanding as well and you couldn’t hear any of them with out the superb excellence of the audio folks who captured/mixed it for all to enjoy.
This performance was the perfect storm of excellence!
@@rildain76agree. The raw mix isnt really that good compared to this polished one
THE singular most epic live performance.
This woman has officially resurrected Nightwish stronger than ever.
Bravo Niki! Long live Nightwish!! Наздраве
This is my neighbor's favourite NightWish song whether he likes it or not
wow original comment dude.....like i never seen it almost a thousand times..
Metal Mania ❤️ I have seen it 2000 times 😉😂
I regret i wasen’t there 😒
Trust me... next time😃
@@BlaserAndDesert you regret you wasn't with the 2000 people writing that same comment? :)
But yeah next time!
Metal Mania The same?🤷🏼♂️
I just write.. don’t read because i don’t i give a fuck
I
AXAXXAXAAXAXXAXA
I have watched this a hundred times. I’m still FLOORED !
My god she realy made this song her own. One of the best metal sung of any femal focalist ever shown live, ever
Satan talking to Eve: "We used to swim, the same moonlight waters"
Satan talking on future events when he ONCE again falls to earth 🌎 and everyone (and I mean everyone) in "some" form wakes up! : "Oceans away from the wakeful day!"
You can even hear Satan's downward decent on Empuu's guitar right here. 1:38 And it is so fitting that right after you hear it, the camera pans to fans doing the metal/devil horn sign with the hand. Amazing
The dwellers of the Earth are Eve in the second line about the, then, future.
And it's so obvious after that "My fall will be for you" come on people WAKE
Wake up, this music is awesome; if you know about it its even more awesome. I listen to it everyday in worship in contrary to faith
nah, Tarja still owns this song.
HOLY SHIT THAT NOTE AT 9:21
Probably the best G#5 I've heard in my life. Only few people can match that...
Dandy Candy It's good, but her ending GLS note in Argentina was better.
SAM 1991 It was good, but it wasn't done in one breath while this one was, that's why I like it more. It was harder to pull off
Dandy Candy Well, yes, that is true.
Dandy Candy No, actually she pulled off both in a single breath (and the Argentina one was a tiny bit longer), but I still prefer this one. I prefer this whole performance to the Argentina one. This one is *perfect*, she hits all the notes, and her voice is just the right amount of heavy, and operatic. She goes a bit flat in the Argentina one. BUT FLOOR IS SO AWESOME
Funny that no one mention drummer here. He is responsible for like 70% of atmosphere in this song. Great job
Still miss Jukka, the world's best drummer.
Chris Turner says hello
I've only just found this band and music. Absolutely love it. Floor is so good. Yes, I noticed that there are several different drummers throughout the videos. This one really gets into it. Drummers are the timekeepers of music of course and drums seem to make this kind of music.
This guy is amazing, I love him. Their other drummer, the drummed from wintersun......amazing
70% of the atmosphere is the keyboard, not the drums...
The most underrated Drummer in the world : Jukka 🤘🏽♥️
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nightwish aren't just a band. They're a spiritual journey and I'm glad I have been a part of that journey.
Floor is amazing and she always has but what i don't understand is why so many people are surprise at how good she is, its not like she just started singing symphonic metal. Floor has been among the best of them for many years now. Anyone who's a big symphonic metal fan knows that. I saw a lot of comments asking who Floor was. She performed live many times with Epica, Within Temptation, Kamelot, and so many other awsome bands. She even did some Nightwish covers with her band (After forever).
U're right. I'd just say, let's hope she'll stay in the band any longer than Annette cause, Floor rocked since she were with After Forever and the way the manages Tarja's songs is beautiful !!!
Great final sream on Ghost love Score right here !!!
i'm agree with you she is a great singer, let the other's know her, i have a big expectaction of Nightwish with Floor, stay heavy! \m/
And is solo band Revamp
wynne sagendorf Dave Pedley agree with both ... its amazing the aura on them, and she it is just out the limit of any female singer .. good please keep this woman with them forever cause they sound like perfection
So true Alexis del carmen Cabeza Silva !!!!!!!
Not only Floor did an magnificent job, the rest of the band was brilliant as well.. I simply cannot get enough of Jukka's fantastic drum works!!!
Every once in a while I’ll come back to this and it hits me all over again. It’s honestly one of the most powerful live performances I’ve ever seen
Yes!!
Me too!
Genuinely, one of the greatest jubilations of music and life put on stage. I cannot imagine how it must've felt to perform that, let alone experience it live.
randomly came back to this video after ... no idea how long... came here to post this same thing. actually gives me goosebumps at a few points in the song, in the actual sense, not just the figure of speech. shits electric, man. she really nailed it. I think she even knows she did right there at the end
same
I love how emppu is such a bro and touches every band member to encourage them
Oh my god, how can anyone actually not like Floor!?!? She's THAT good.
Genius has it's limits. Stupidity is infinite:)
Oh well, I can. Yes, her technique is good. Her image is good. I just don't like her voice and how she sings almost every song the same way (especially in Storytime!). The only excpetion is Ghost Love Score- this is the best version of this song I have ever heard.
Yeah, I guess it's ok to not like her, but its awful when people are like HURR DURR it's not Tarja/Anette, stop replacing he singers!!1!
***** Oh well, what makes you think so?
She had been with them less than a year at this point. A year! And she has already taken a classic such as GLS and turned it into an epic masterpiece. Imagine what will happen when she is in studio and singing songs written specifically for her by Tuomas.

Lucky you! :D

Me too!
The greatest performance of any band in the history of the music. Period.
This video shouldn't be counted as 28 million views (so far), but 28 million life changing experiences.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Jukka doesn't nearly get enough credit. He's absolutely killing it here. What a legend.
Yess! Credits to the drummers,I as a drummer realized the effort of all musicians but Jukka killed it!
Many people are saying that, but could you describe to a noob ear, what that means? This performance is amazing, but I have no skills to say how something is great other to say that it is great.
YESSS I loved him ... too bad he has since quit nightwish. The new guy is just as good a drummer but hes no where near as hot :P
@@Tuikkari a mix of two things
- sound: he has just the perfect sound for Nightwish's music. deep, resounding, a heartbeat's vibe that keeps everything together
- playstyle: simple, direct, once again perfectly fitting the music. There's so much going on through the song that technical fills would just compete for attention, so he goes for a seamless groove. He's there laying the foundations, until the song needs him to amp up the intensity, and then he makes his presence felt.
A great example of talent at the service of the whole group
@@DekkarJr he haven't quit. He is doing management for the band because of his problems with amnesia. He might come back some time.
Drum - Pirate / Bass - Viking / Guitar - Elf / Key - Dark Wizard / Singer - Valkyrie 🍻

Tu vieja singer
Nightquest is really awesome.
OH, My God!!!!!!!!! I am 60. I have jammed too many Metal Bands over the years. (Live in the Midwest USA). I have about 70 favorite TH-cam Videos from various metal bands I listen to. Since I have found Nightwish, I can say I haven't listened to any other bands on my favorite list in months and I have one CD in the 4runner. This concert is on CD. There is nothing better than the performance, energy, musical rhythm, Floor's unreal stage presence and control of the crowd, and overwhelmed voice presence. It's unreal. Magical sound from the whole band. Even though the band has changed a bit since this show, it's still topped!!!!!! I bow my head to all of you!
Can we give a shout out to the sound guys at this performance? Also Floor's crescendo is just incredible. She's one of the best vocalists this world has ever and will ever know
She is by far my favorite of the Nightwish singers so far! She has all of Tarja's power and range, but more grace and precision. She can be as melodic and sweet as Anette but has substance behind it. She's truly the best of both!
all can see and hear that except some few opera fans
And she can grunt O.o
DrakeSilmore and actually she can do it so greatly :D
WeirdD ShittT Just wonder, isn't that really dangerous for your vocal chords?
It can be, but she sayd in some interwievs shes learning how to do it without raping her chords :D
There's 2 important people at the end of the song. Floor, and Jukka. And I love how Floor acknowledges Jukka at the end, because her crescendo doesn't mean much without his. Simply awesome.
Letheification
I believe this was also his last full set with the band before hanging it up for health reasons, and the band knew it.
absolutely
Yeah, That´s some piece of drummery. Incredible!
@@HeliRy So Floor's first concert was also Jukka's last? Man, we dodged a bullet. This song is a masterpiece.
@Michael Oakes
This wasn't Floor's first concert. If I remember correctly this was 10 months in.
this is music history. if there was museum this would a piece
Straight female here literally ready to turn for Floor 😂. She's breath taking.
Probably one of the most epic songs of all time
Yes. One other epic song I can recommend is Stargazer by Rainbow. If you don't know it, take a listen.
Surely
Destiny from Stratovarius is epic at this level.
The best thing I like about Floor, aside from her killer voice and Goddess looks, is that she seems to be genuinely happy to be there with Nightwish. She can't stop smiling. That's amazing.
Notice how happy they all look since 2013 too
She's an amazing human being in more ways than one. @ 9:21 each time I hear that part It gets a tear to my eye - that my friend is sheer talent, because I'm not one to be easily impressed by most things in life.
Agreed, she lights up the stage. I'm not much of a festivalgoer, but Nightwish with Floor is one of the few bands I badly want to see live, because of her stage presence.
I watch that show with all the singers who cover each other's music. She is an angel on Earth!
Floor is up there with Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, and Ronnie James Dio as one of the greatest singers to ever front a metal band.
Powerful voice, powerful stage presence, and a love of metal that shines through in performance. Floor brings it all. \m/
A moment in time . Perfection . Band . Crowd . A fitting finale .
What an incredible performance by our amazing Floor Jansen and the whole Nightwish band. For this to be her first introduction to this crowd of 82,000 screaming people was so wonderful. Legendary.
Imagine being IN that crowd at the time!
I was part of the 106000 Donington Park '92 when it was simply Monsters of Rock, Iron Maiden headlined, n sadly 2 lost their lives that day, a sheer tragedy, n a sobering thought when I read it in the newspaper 😢
I watched this 6 times in a row. The goosebumps it caused are the size of Great Danes. What a band. What a voice.
My goosebumps were the size of rhinos
Melissa Sauers my goosebumps captured your rhinos and trained them to play nightwish songs
Every time!
I've probably listened to this song 976395027592917 times and I still get goosebumps!
One of the best live-performances I've seen.
yeah, this was awesome irl at wacken this year. best gigs i've ever seen

@@malwen78 in 70 years.
next to Tarja's Live performance of this song in early 2000's
I hate it when any band changes singers, but nightwish, from Tarja, Annette and now Floor, I have not been disappointed.
Love and peace.
People usually discuss the singer but for me this is the song of the drummer, Jukka was a beast.
100% correct
Still miss him performing. He's phenomenal.
Amen...most drummers depend on a consistent time signature. Jukka NEVER misses the many changes Tuomas builds into his works of art!
This ending always gets me speechless.
When Tarja left, I didn't think anyone would be able to make Nightwish relevant again...but damn! Floor is simply amazing! I would even argue this Nightwish is better than the old one!
Floor - what a VOICE! stunning!
The drummer gets little credit for his performance. so much energy he brings. Kudos to him
No kidding! I watch him a lot and I he's an animal!
Jukka is one of the most intense drummers I've ever seen
Yes and unfortunately he is no longer in the group
It´s so awesome though how Floor shows her appreciation to him with a small gesture at the end of the song, after her own out of this world performance
@@GabTheDrummer He's with them in an administrative role but not performance role. It's sad but understandable.
I absolutely love how Floor smiles when she is singing. She looks so happy and at times so vulnerable as well. It's such a pure smile. She looks like she is genuinely happy and exactly where she needs to be.
She's sweet and warm and she has such a positive vibe... Powerfull and yet gracefull. In command without being beatchy. Her singing.... well, not enough words to describe it. God, what an appearance! The true Queen of metal!
she is a very sensitive and empathic person ... very low narcissism I think . One reason why the band works well, I think she moderates the guys quite well
Nightwish helped her recover from her burnout. I dont know what happened, but I assume it has something to do with After Forever and ReVamp falling apart. Nightwish restored her confidence.
@@spudstimson5457 I think accourding to her own statements, "Burnout" is a euphemism.
@@rabautios I understand that.
i saw and hear this today for first time, and i`m literally crying. THIS IS SO EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! And now I'm a fan of this group
Welcome!
Tell everyone. Nightwish deserves more. Every person I introduce them to are bewildered as to why they are not the most popular band in the world.
I recently discovered them too. I'm shocked this type of genre exists and I didn't even know about it.
The best live performance done by anyone ever ❤ Floor is the queen!
That crowd roar at 9:29, unbelievable. Amazing vocalist.
haha that was so fake dude
@@cesarmolinasepulveda1816 fake?? Where?
@@cesarmolinasepulveda1816 I saw them live last month.. believe me that reaction from the crowd is very real.
@@cesarmolinasepulveda1816 so crowd appreciation of 82.000 people is fake? Yeah, nah. Go see them and you will understand.

We never needed a angel. We always needed a GODDESS. SING! SING my goddess...
9.00- 9.30 is unbelievable perfection. I have been a metaller all my fifty years, and THAT brought a tear to my eye.
I just discovered Nightwish. I'm 70+ and never heard your music before. I'm devastated that I missed it all these years. Beautiful.
Better late than never. ;-)
Its not even late. It never is.
Opposite, yet similar for me. I was way into them when I was about 12-13 then somehow lost interest. I'm 27 now and just recently rediscovered them and was instantly captivated by their new singer. I'm seriously kicking myself for sleeping on them for over a decade.
it's never late my good sir, rock on!
You are not too old to headbang at a gig next time they tour.
The most beautiful song to ever exist in this universe.
True
I say something else, but everyone can have an opinion
Floor 🌹 Jansen. The woman in whose voice there is no guile.
Look, I don’t know anything about classical music, or head registers or classical trainings and all that. I like Tarja, she’s great. I like Annette. She’s fun. But I’ll never ever never forget the day I downloaded After Forever’s “Energize Me” from Kazaa. I was on a post-evanescence rush. Fell hard for Lacuna Coil and then came the beast mode Nightwish. So I was on the lookout for more femme-fronted bands. Listened to Energize Me and my ears, my head, my mind, my belly did all sort of flip-flops and cartwheels. Floored I was. 19 or so at the time.Nightwish, though. The oceanic band that never truly leaves me. This song, this band, this composer, THIS woman are one of the best and grandest things to come out of planet earth. 🌍It’s like she’s singing for Kings Magistrates and Dignitaries. Gives it her ALL. And all I’m gonna say is, she truly earned her throne in this band. And all that love from the people. She has served her magnetic voice like a servant though she herself is a Queen. There’s lots of awesome great and fun bands, then there’s Nightwish. Tuomas is too deep, too profound. And if you connect with his music and lyrics, there’s a profound oceanic reason for that, my loves. What he composes is but a glimpse of divine and heavenly beauty. Only a glimpse heard and seen through a glass darkly.
Proverbs 18:16
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. 🎁
That’s Floor. That’s Nightwish. 🕊️👑✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
The drumming of Jukka is just insane!
YES! We miss you performing, Jukka! I've never seen a drummer be so passionate that he hits everything as hard as he can. My arms turn to noodles just watching him.
@@jovetj Kai is equally skilled if not more. Different style of course, but both of them are machines. Kai Hahto drumcam: th-cam.com/video/RI67HtPjWuk/w-d-xo.html
But still my favorite Kai Hahto piece is "weak fantasy": th-cam.com/video/FbWzilsAOYs/w-d-xo.html
And to show off Kais skill there's the wintersun song he performed in a drummer competition: th-cam.com/video/tbb8m3wNXbs/w-d-xo.html
One of my favourite Songs. I havent listened to them for a long time . But one Was my first album of them .
What would it be if nightwish would be on stage with a whole choire and orchestra performing this wonderful piece of music😍😍😍 (if i havent missed something ☺)
Finland sure knows how to do music. Goosebumps!
nobody, nobody does it better then Floor, what a performance
Tarja does!
I’m 77 and discovered Nightwish through Floor singing in Beste Zangers. I watch every video I can find of them now. Unbelievable what a happening!
I've seen her with the opera singer dude. It's a good place to start.
Welkom in de (gothic) metalscène, Berry!
You don't look a day older than 76 ! so well done , all that drinking Green Tea for 59 years has done the trick , now you can enjoy the joys of Nightwish
This drummer -one of the hardest working guys in metal. Killing it
Absolutely
He's really good, but there are a lot of even better drummers out there. I think Kai is a little over-qualified for Nightwish, compared to what he did for Wintersun.
Yeah...I won't be surprised if Tuomas and Marko decides their current lead guitarist is not good enough and have him replaced too.
@UCsYxSy6Ff1crFUZk7TJqw2w You should listen to older Nightwish songs and you would realize how talented their guitarist is even though he nowadays plays more simple songs and doesn't show off like he used to 15 years ago. And their "current" lead guitarist is the only on with Tuomas who has been in the band since the beginning
@@nafisahmohamed4772 Chill your nuggets, that's not a duo with some hired staff here.
Jukka went on break years ago, because he suffered from severe insomnia. He is btw. also responsible for management and other background stuff, wich he kept doing during his break. And to stay with the background work and retiring from performing was his own decision after his health improved so much off-stage. His fill-in is now an official band member.
As for the singer: Tarja is a solo artist. She always was and you could tell that from the very beginning when you went to concerts. It was like 'Nightwish & Tarja'. They didn't even practice together. It was the success that made them stay together. And when they finally separated, the guys wanted Floor to beginn with. But meh. She was pregnant and wanted to stay out of music business to take care of family matters. And when Anette left (Well, with her everyone was a bitch, including herself) they asked Floor again and here we are now.
The ending is beyond brilliant , as is the whole performance.
Best Replacement EVER!
The high note at the end gives me goosebumps holy hell. Plus her reaction, the fact that she knows she hit it perfectly.
That moment the entire crowd roars in excitement when she hits that high note...my skin exploded.
Am I the only one with tears in my eyes after hearing this because of its incredible beauty?
You're not alone.
Anyone that's skeptical of or concerned about Floor's abilities should just watch this video (or listen to the live album of this recording). She's amazing.
me too. I´m not a big fan of Nightwish...Tarja was Ok...Anette was....not my kind....the whole style was not mine, but....Floor...omg her voice...it´s asome. I hope she will have a great future as a member of nightwish and generally as a (metal) musician....she´s really great. Can´t get enought of her voice. This is the best demonstration. Her voice makes my flesh crawl so badly !!!
Hahaha. She has that effect on almost everyone. The 4% of people who hate her are probably just jealous or just still caught up in the NW singer flame-war.
Is it the beauty of the song, singer or her voice that brings tears to you eyes?
As a guitar player myself, I really respect their guitarist that don't go over the top and not trying to show off with some fast shredding and riffs. Guitarists have big ego. But he's not.
He knows his place as musician, and as a result, he makes beautiful music.
If that makes sense.
In other words, he is playing for the song, not for himself. The entire song is an epic arrangement, and an over-the-top guitar solo might overwhelm or overpower in the wrong way. This solo was quite laid back, but sounds 100% intentionally crafted to match the mood and atmosphere of the whole song as one entity.
Empu displays and incredible range of skill and restraint. A true artisan.
Nightwish is far more a family than a band. Sometimes Floor is called "the front woman" but she refers to the other band members as "my brothers" . Say no more...
Sounded just like a Steve Rothery's solos 🤔
For sure! Makes complete sense.
I just saw this live at Kitee a couple of days ago. She is 7 months pregnant and she totally nailed (floored) this again. Ten years after this Wacken concert. Nightwish forever ❤❤❤❤
I just saw them closing the show at Nova Rock 2 weeks ago and I was like "heck, that baby began it's life on tour, if it were born on stage that would certainly make rock history!
Oh wonderful, I didn't know she was pregnant again, how lovely~
Something about Floor that is very underrated is, her elegance when she moves to the music. Her head banging, and other movements are simple, yet very prominent. I find myself watching the video simply because of her on stage presence.
Underrated? 99,99% of comments I read on these are about Floor, floorgasms, windmills and her absolutely stunning stage presence. This is probably the most reacted live performance alongside Queen Live Aid performance. I'd say she is hyped, and that is 100% deserved. #floorgasm
She makes me think of Yngvwie J Malmstein. When he hit the scene he was sooo far beyond everything else. Her voice is just like that. Reminds me of Homers' Odyssey ,and a ships captain tied to a mast, what he might have heard.
I agree, her gestures and control are 30% of the reason why this live performance is amazing af
Can we PLEASE end the immature and frankly useless pissing contest of Tarja v. Floor? Both of these vocalists are stellar performers whose music I've loved for nearly a decade, give or take. And, unlike some "fans", these women like and respect each other's talents. Though Anette took a little getting used to, she really came into her own with Imaginarium. I saw Nightwish at The Greek a few months ago and Floor was positively incandescent, the band in top form and really enjoying themselves. People were on their feet, rocking out and better still, Nightwish fans ranged from 8 to 80, which is all kinds of sheer awesomeness! As someone who lives in the States, I wish our music industry promoted quality music instead of a steady throng of whiny emo/rap boys and airbrushed pop tarts. I wish we had more kick ass symphonic and female fronted metal bands over here. You guys have not just Tarja and Floor, but Simone, Sharon, Amanda, Manuella and of course, Doro (and that's just for starters). Be grateful!
+TheVixenne Agreed. Tarja and Floor both bring different feelings into Nightwish. Their singing styles are completely different.
+TheVixenne While I completely agree with your entire statement, I'm obliged to be disappointed in you for omitting Charlotte.
+TheVixenne please no pissing on floor
+TheVixenne I know what you mean about the age thing. RUSH concerts are the same. I've been a fan since 1975 and last concerts crowd ranged from young teens and people who made me look young. It proves that some things transcends the generation gaps. Great music sure does.
+Seven Seer I see what you did there...no, but seriously, Floor is awesome.
Jesus christ what a performance, this is just insane.
Godlike performance. Everyone who knows music in it's core at least knows how much this performance weights in the history of things. Good bless Nightwish for this greatness and this moment.
Btw how to achieve godhood - 09:22 - Floor thrones the Pantheon from then till eternity
@@Chekatana I agree!!! 💯
This is not music, it's magic.
That's art.
Amen
Can we just all point out that youtube has committed a war crime by putting an add in the middle of this masterpiece?
I suggest using OPERA as you browser. No ads in the middle will ever be seen again.
or use a add-blocker
@@roostj OPERA is a superior browser. Many of the handy feature we see in other browsers were first developed by OPERA.
@@Rancid-Jane True but now it falls behind on other stuff. Other simply have the money to copy and be seen as the best throw stuff as android preinstalled. Same goes for the death of Hotmail because Gmail presence. Even facebook and his derivates is all about copy or forced purchases of others.
@@j.r.5803 Other than TH-cam I studiously avoid all things google. I keep hoping google will be forced to spin off youtube.
The best part of this song is the full song! ♥
This was the last video I watched before having a very risky open heart surgery. I was so scared! If it was my last day, I wanted to go out with pure pleasure. NOW I'M HOME AND WATCHING AGAIN!!!
glad you found this and hope your doing well
Brave 👏
Awesome, glad you're well 😁🤘
so glad you made it!
Glad for u
That last note... Holy freaking hell!! Floor is a goddess behind the mic! A magical performance by the entire band!
I'm so happy we're not gonna lose her yet. Get well soon Floor, you're amazing. 🤘
what happened?
@@user-fw4uo9bm9i she was diagnosed with breast cancer, but now we know that she's alright.
@@laurikguitarcovers2251 aw bless her. that’s great she’s doing okay. cancer is the worssttt :((
When Tarja left Night wish, I was devastated. You, Floor, had to step up to impossible expectations. And Not only did you meet them but trumped them.
Her voice is literally out of this world...
in my humble opinion one of the best songs ever written by anyone
I think it is written actually like a movie soundtrack, this makes it unique.
Because it is written like a movie soundtrack is why I am less fond of GLS compared to Poet and the Pendulum and Beauty of the Beast. Tuomas listen to too much movie music by Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer. But, hey, I will always have Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails, Muse, Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down and Linkin Park apart from Nightwish first era.
I discovered FLOOR 2 years ago. Hearing this song for the first time was an amazing, emotional experience! It gives me Life! She's my new favorite female Voice.
Goddess level: Unlocked 🖤
Floor, please NEVER leave Nightwish. Your voice is awesome!!
I especially love the part from 0:00 until 10:22
Droogie128
:D
+Droogie128 well said
Elämän Vettä Have you listened to ReVamp? If not, check out Wild Card , Precibus, and Infringe. Incredible.
Droogie128
Oh yeah. Both albums are great in my opinion! I love Sweet Curse with Floor and Russell Allen. :)
i love both albums, too. Wild Card and Infringe, though... they're the type of songs that make me sad when they end.
I have to come back at least twice a year and watch this incredible performance and voice. I actually get tears in my eyes.
THIS SONG STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS. Incredible
Floor is a perfect example of why sailors would voluntarily crash their ships into the rocks following the siren songs
Yaaaassssss
This is amazing and made my day.
That's deeper then expected :O
This
this feels good...right...i feel at peace.....
82,000 Germans listening to a Dutch singer, singing in English with a band from Finland. EPIC
No that band is fronted by a ginger. ;)
What you describe is the hidden (not very well hidden) power of metal. Amazing people from all over the world.
@@aleleeinnaleleeinn9110 thats the beauty of it mate
It's not 82,000 Germans. The audience is very international too.
this is wacken mate, not even 40.000 are germans
This song feels like your being transported on an epic adventure through another dimension.
a different time and place
Right back to 2007 when I first heard this amazing masterpiece
YES. THIS.
Easily the best musical piece of the generation. I'll die on this hill
Shout out to the sound engineers ... for a live performance, this is perfect on every level.
No kidding...the sound is perfect.
Band knew what they wanted sounds awesome 👏 I
Floor says this is her most favourite song. And she tells that with every note she sings, how much love and compassion she has for it.
Ten years on and this song still blows my f**king mine!
Talk about a performance i wish i was there live to see this
I just realized that I'm becoming addicted to this song because of Floor!
I was before, and I like it even more with Floor... that woman is perfect for Nightwish
I listened this song for the very first time sung by Floor, and since then I became a Nightwish fan..!! (In that moment I started to discover the other 2 vocalists, but still prefer Floor
Guys, Tarja is gone and never coming back to Nightwish. Stop living in the past and enjoy the incredible performances Floor is giving us.
Tarja was incredible, but Floor is easily better. She's able to sing in so many different styles, while Tarja's is really just operatic.
