Yes, Marko is amazing in "High Hopes" and everything else. My wife hated metal but I got her to watch Nightwish and she loves the band; she thinks Floor is unbelievable, the best female vocalist. When I told her Marko left the band she said straight up: "He's irreplaceable; they'll never find another male singer and musician like him". Too true. Marko spoke about what happened: he had suffered from terrible "chronic depression since 2010" and was on "permanent medications" which "didn't work anymore". Neuropsycholigical testing determined Marko had suffered from a rare form ADHD his entire life. Marko leaving Nightwish is a great loss, but Marko is doing much better, and that's all that really matters in the end. We have all these great masterpieces he created, so we're lucky, and he's now well enough that he's starting recording again, so we should be happy for him.
Marco used to study guitar and later switched to bass guitar. He has a great double neck guitar, bass and guitar in 1 instrument. He uses this occasionally on Nightwish.🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
Nice one. For all my mife, 69 y old Dutch bloke, I am a fan of Pink Floyd and have seen them several times. Since 2020 after seeing Floor at Beste Zangers and one of her first solo shows I also am a big Nighteish/Floor fan. Seen Nightwish november 2022 two nights in a row. This song is not a cover, this is the ultimate tribute from an exceptional band to an exceptional band!
Nice reaction, thanks for checking it out and giving me another excuse to check out this awesome performance. If you want to check out some even younger Marko, check out his 1st band Tarot which includes his brother on guitar. There is an 80s version with a baby face Marko and another 25 year anniversary video with a 2nd singer as well for their song Wings of Darkness. Both are worth checking out.
LOVE this version of this song. I created a Nightwish fan out of a life-long Pink Floyd fan (from Syd Barrett daze) by playing them this. Marko goes off, Emppu brings a touch of metal in a recognizably Gilmour style and tone...... Tuomas' arrangement!..... Jukka's passion despite insomnia and migraine even back then..... Pink Floyd - melancholy despair and regret - Nightwish - feeling it but NOT giving in! Suited their situation "the ringing of the division bell had begun".... firing Tarja. the guys all sing along at one point or more too!
I was a bass player as a younger man, and picks can help. It gives a different tone than finger style, it can also be easier for some to do triplets and more "marching" sounds with a pick (the most famous exception to this being Iron Maiden's bassist Steve Harris who plays some of the best marching lines ever... all finger style). I think when you're singing and playing and trying to entertain and not just stand there line a stone... picks can help make all of that a bit easier to handle. When you're a pro, like Marco, you use it like any other tool, when it suits you, but I think it's also fun for the crowd as many players toss them to the crowd as a little souvenir- Emmpu is famous for this! He must toss 50 per show out to the crowd!
Marko "Marco" Hietala is an amazing musician (guitar, bass) and singer with an absolutely beautiful voice and range. He retired from Nightwish for mental health reason, and a profound disappointment with the big music business. I'm very glad he has continued in smaller circles and done very good music.
Thanks so much for doing this - he really does have a superb voice. For more Marko, try "The Islander" from the Tampere concert, and "While Your Lips are Still Red" from Wembley.
This one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs, this is probably even better. Just love the extra grit in this version. How is it possible that a band this good escaped me until 3yrs ago. An hour listening to Nightwish gives you the feeling you can take on the world again
I love this Nightwish's tribute to this Pink Floyd song. This is not a cover, this is tribute. If I didn't know this is Pink Floyd song I would say it is Nightwish song. There is certain signature that Tuomas makes that you instantly know oh okay Nightish. Marko's singing here just beautifu, Emppu's guitar solos and of course Jukka on drums. Suffering from imsomnia and migraine yet still playing so good and with style that always makes me smiling and honoring him 🤘🥁
This is such a fantastic performance and a lovely reaction by you. If you want to see more of Marko on lead vocals with Nightwish you should check out "Kiss while your lips are still red" live at Wembley 2015 and "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015. Keep these Nightwish live reactions coming. By the way, their 2022 Human || Nature world tour was fantastic. There are two outstanding recordings from this tour... the sunset Hellfest 2022 concert in France and the beautiful nighttime show at the Deichbrand 2022 Festival in Germany. Definitely worth checking out. Thank you.
Hello Mrs Realistic. Nice to see you again. As all of us (you to I hope) can see those four guys are killing machines.This tribute is beautiful. Thank you for the journey so far.
Just want to add a shout out for my favorite Marko Nightwish song that everyone seems to forget. Endlessness. It was the last song Marko sang lead with Nightwish. From the Human Nature album. Never performed live since Marko left before touring after the pandemic had resumed. Last song on Disc 1 of the album. It's about living life to the fullest and when our time comes, gratefully passing on to the next adventure what ever it may be. Such a perfect ending to Marko's time with Nightwish. I also do love While Your Lips are Still Red live at Wembley. Marko's voice in that one is so vulnerable and emotional. A beautiful song about innocent first/young love. The lyrics are incredibly poetic.
Marko's new era is going well. You'd probably like 'Pyre of the Black Heart' his solo album and also his new song with Tarja, Left on Mars. I'm not going to give up the hope that at least Marko comes back for some dates in the Nightwish 20th anni tour.
What a tribute from Nightwish to this legendary song . Marko is a living legend !!!!! Even though Marko is no more with Nightwish, there are plenty more songs where his awesome vocals are present !!! In Ayreon, Tarot, Northern Kings... just to name a few... Here are some songs/covers/tributes from Nightwish (there are some in TH-cam, so happy hunting):
Over the Hills and Far Away (Gary Moore cover) Walking in the Air (Howard Blake cover) The Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber cover) Symphony of Destruction (Megadeth cover) Elvenjig ([traditional] cover) Finlandia (Jean Sibelius cover) High Hopes (Pink Floyd tribute) Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne cover) The Mug of Brown Ale ([traditional] cover) We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister cover) Wild Child (W.A.S.P. cover) Stone People (John Two‐Hawks cover) Alone (i‐Ten cover) Ace of Spades (Motörhead cover) Don't Talk to Strangers (Dio cover) Locomotive Breath (Jethro Tull cover) Money (Pink Floyd cover) Rock Around the Clock (Sonny Dae and His Knights cover) Show Me How to Die (Battle Beast cover) Wonderful Life (Black cover) NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘
I think it was many things. IMHO - One of them was he wanted more opportunities to be involved in the writing process to express his personal music creativity and he loves to sing. He needed more lead parts.
This was an emotion charged performance. It was after this gig that they sacked their original singer, Tarja. I believe this song was chosen specifically for this occasion because of it's message. The rawness of their emotions are on display, and the pain, apprehension, and optimism for the future are palpable throughout this masterful performance. Even David Gilmour said this was his favourite Pink Floyd cover. It gives me chills every time. Cheers from Australia !!
Hi Mrs R. I consider this the ultimate Marco. This is a high energy version with more emotion and energy than the original. For many years it was linked in Floyd's website as a great version, and it was praised by Dave himself. Here's some stuff that you may not know... This comes from the album "The Division Bell" (yes you knew that). In the Houses of Parliament,bwhen votes are taken they aren't by electronics or by counting hands in the chamber. Rather, MPs file out into the "division lobby" where they divide into separate lines to go past the tellers who count them (tellers come from both main parties to avoid cheating). Many MPs are not in the Chamber when a vote is called. They may be in their office working on something; in one of the (many) bars in the buildings or even off the premises altogether. In order that they can get to the lobby for the vote, a bell is rung throughout the premises to alert them they need to go and vote. This bell is called "The Division Bell". Now, outside the Houses, there are many nearby hostelries that are frequented by MPs, for food or drink. Some of these are particularly popular with MPs and have a feed from the House that makes the Division Bell ring in their premises. Over the Thames almost opposite the Houses there is a small market street called "The Cut" ( you may have caught the lyric and I have always assumed a connection). In The Cut there are quite a few restaurants used by MPs and when I worked in that area I often saw MPs in one or two of them. I never witnessed it personally but I would lay good money that one or two of those restaurants have a feed of the Division Bell.
I love Jukka! He's so expressive, and a trooper, playing drums like this while having migraine, and insomnia. And Emppu's guitar playing reaches new heights, showing all the doubters what he is capable of, he can shred when he wants to. And Marko, well, what is there to say, other than that he's an amazing bassist/vocalist. I think the Jack Sparrow doll is a little nod to the fact that people think that Tuomas looks a bit like the captain. And I actually get similar vibes from Tuomas and Johnny, both seem like warm and empathic people.
@@MrsRealistic Yes, and the band has really started to bloom since Floor joined, kinda fitting, because if I'm not mistaken, and do correct me if I'm wrong, Floor is dutch for flower, I think. All I know is, if she someday, for some odd reason, decides to leave Sweden, I'll be a very sad swede.
Every single one an extremely talented musician. From all accounts that I have seen, Marko is doing much better now. If you want to check out a very current video, take a look at the single just released about a month ago with Marko and Nightwish's first lead singer, Tarja Turunen called "Left on Mars." It's fantastic.
This is gonna be controversial! I had always loved the Pink Floyed original! But...... I enjoy & love this version more! I'm 54yrs young! So it really wasn't a spontaneous thought! ❤😂❤😂
If you look closely you can see Marco plays a lot of chords, unusual for a bass player but it adds a lot of fullness to their sound. That's why he uses a pick.
I bet, Mr. Realistic would also enjoy this:). Surely Showmen, but non the less 4 pro Musicians absolute in their Zone and dedicated, and you felt This every Time i saw and heard Them all 5 on Stage back Then, plus....the drive of early 30 years People in their Prime/except MArko, he were already an Decade ahead:D), something you cant Reproduce. As much as i love to hear the actual Line up without Marco( actual i dont miss Him that much tbh), and wohrsipping hard for Floor...my for me greatest Time of NW was from 2001(Once Album) till that very Evening of that recording 2005. Got the End of an Era Dvd 2 Times, Always such an bittersweet Watch. Great you like it. Stay healthy MH, Frankonia, Germany.
I've tried. I really tried to find a song from Nightwish, one of theirs or a cover that was average or bad. They simply don't exist. Every member of the band, past and present are unique and great. Want to hear some more of Marco? The Islander and While your lips are still red please!
Indeed…time for new stof😊 Tip…..the songs Shoemaker , Noise and Tribal of the album Human Nature (. 2022) are great. Thx for your reaction. Greetings from the Netherlands
Pink Floyd Fan for Life....but this one is just........better. Haunting Keyboard....GREAT Vocals......brillant Guitar Solo...driving drums on point.....this is one of the rare Occasions where I like the Cover better then the already good original. Just my opinion.
I think he just didn't want to do another 1.5 year tour. He had a new baby with is new wife, and there were other reasons to quit at that time. Those tours are so demanding, especially the one's Nightwish do.
Pink Floyd are the best band ive ever heard , followed then since i was 10yrs old when my Dad bought me Meddle for my birthday 52 yrs ago , Nightwish i discovered last summer on you tube last summer and love the sound especially Floor and the drummer , i prefer guitar led bands and for me Floyd are tops closely followed by Led Zeppelin
From this same concert - Phantom of the Opera. Tarja and Marco. One of the few Nightwish songs where I personally believe Tarja was better than Floor!!
Do people who listen to this , know 1, have listened to the original before this 2. Listened to Floyd 3. know what the lyrics these mean ie "Do they still meet by The Cut " and " in a world of Magnets and Miracles"
@@MrsRealistic I really think you should listen to the original song before doing covers you will find the original to be the best every single time , except in a tiny few examples , of which ive listed before
@steviesellers I agree that the original is a stunning piece of music. I've never been arguing the fact that this was better than the original. It's done quite differently...a more somber, emotional sound in my opinion... while this is more of a harder rock version. I've never seen the live version from 1994 tho. I'm sure it was an amazing concert!
There are only 3 decent covers and all on youtube with millions of views 1, Joe Cocker / with a little help from my friends, woodstock 1969 LIVE 2 . Disturbed / Sound of Silence , conan show LIVE 3 . Johnny Cash / Hurt 4. Faith No More / Easy
@steviesellers I didn't say I reacted to them, I said I love them. I react to music I've not heard before. I did the Disturbed, but not the Conan show version. So you only subscribe to channels who react to music that you have listened to or "approve of"? That's a strange pre-requisite.
If this is the only song you've heard from Nightwish, then you don't know they aren't a tribute band. They play all their own music. This was ONE song in which they did a tribute to High Hopes.
It's a tribute...I don't think they're trying to "copy". David Gilmour had a link to it on the web site, so I'm not sure who you're "outraged" for. But they were flattered.
@@MrsRealistic Dave Gilmore is a nice guy , ive never heard this cover and never will , ive seen this song done twice by Floyd at the Pulse tour in london and Italy LIVE . For me its a very emotional song , the last song on their last LP , there is a reason why Floyd songs are not covered very often , coz basically Floyd are Floyd
I was in my 20's and 30's in the 1970's and 1980's. I thought Pink Floyd was a joke back then. Nightwsh tribute dominates the Pink Floyd version by a mile.
@steviesellers I understand. People will have their favorites, and certain songs that will hit you hard. But I don't think Dave would bring attention to a "cover" that he didn't approve of. So you didn't actually LISTEN to this Nightwish tribute? I dig Pink Floyd, and many other artists who have had covers done of their songs... some I love, some are ok.
You unsubscribe because you don't like a song someone reacts to? Wow, I think you have other issues. By the way, this was praised by pink Floyd and was not intended to be a "cover" but a tribute. I wanted to hear Marko sing more and this was the song suggested by everyone.
I'm so glad you reacted to this one. Knew you'd like it. Jukka was dealing with a migraine head ache during this show. I can't begin to imagine how he pulled this show off. There are some bands if you're smart you never try to cover - nothing good usually comes from it. Then there's Nightwish blowin' up a Pink Floyd classic. Holy Smokes. everytime I watch this video I sit here in disbelief at what I'm hearing. Since you've found the End of an Era concert, check Tarja doin' Nemo. It's another stunner. Enjoy
Yes, Marko is amazing in "High Hopes" and everything else. My wife hated metal but I got her to watch Nightwish and she loves the band; she thinks Floor is unbelievable, the best female vocalist. When I told her Marko left the band she said straight up: "He's irreplaceable; they'll never find another male singer and musician like him". Too true.

We have all these great masterpieces he created, so we're lucky, and he's now well enough that he's starting recording again, so we should be happy for him.
The wall of sound created by just four musicians is awesome!
Emppu the guitar master! Always just what the song needs, he never overplays!🎸🤘
Marko is one of the most complete artist i ever know he can play, sing, and entertain the audience!
He's fantastic!!
Nightwish just announced the New Album " YESTERWYNDE" will be out Sept 20th and will release the single " perfume of the timeless " May 21st
Good reaction👍. Yes, we will certainly continue to miss Marko, both solo singing and in duet with Floor! Cannot be replaced unfortunately......
Awesome tribute to Pink Floyd.
Marco used to study guitar and later switched to bass guitar. He has a great double neck guitar, bass and guitar in 1 instrument. He uses this occasionally on Nightwish.🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
Nice one.

The angst is palpable, all the guys had signed "The Letter", they must have been facing an uncertain future.
Damn! I love watching Jukka play drums.
Me too!
Marko❤❤❤❤❤
I was a bass player as a younger man, and picks can help. It gives a different tone than finger style, it can also be easier for some to do triplets and more "marching" sounds with a pick (the most famous exception to this being Iron Maiden's bassist Steve Harris who plays some of the best marching lines ever... all finger style).

Sometimes, in the close-ups, you can see Emppu tucking the pick in his hand as he taps the fretboard.
I Love Emppu❤❤❤
Glad you got to this one. Marko is a beast.
Marko "Marco" Hietala is an amazing musician (guitar, bass) and singer with an absolutely beautiful voice and range. He retired from Nightwish for mental health reason, and a profound disappointment with the big music business. I'm very glad he has continued in smaller circles and done very good music.

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Hi from the home of Nightwish. Marko Hietala.Kiitos.
Absolutely love this 🤘🏻🤘🏻 What a tribute
Marko and Floor is sheer poetry, miss his contributions, awesome voice, great reaction as always
Just want to add a shout out for my favorite Marko Nightwish song that everyone seems to forget. Endlessness. It was the last song Marko sang lead with Nightwish. From the Human Nature album.

Can't get any better than that!!!
Love this tribute. My heart goes out to Jukka on this, knowing he is suffering from Migraine and insomnia.
Marko's new era is going well. You'd probably like 'Pyre of the Black Heart' his solo album and also his new song with Tarja, Left on Mars. I'm not going to give up the hope that at least Marko comes back for some dates in the Nightwish 20th anni tour.
20th? Nightwish was founded in 1996 (28 years ago) and Marko was a member nearly for 20 years.
@@monksuu I didn't even remember saying that. Apparently 2026 will be 30 years when I'm sober; 20 whenever I'm not. 🔥❤🔥

Hi Mrs R.
I consider this the ultimate Marco.
This is a high energy version with more emotion and energy than the original.
For many years it was linked in Floyd's website as a great version, and it was praised by Dave himself.
Here's some stuff that you may not know...
This comes from the album "The Division Bell" (yes you knew that).

This bell is called "The Division Bell".
Now, outside the Houses, there are many nearby hostelries that are frequented by MPs, for food or drink. Some of these are particularly popular with MPs and have a feed from the House that makes the Division Bell ring in their premises.
Over the Thames almost opposite the Houses there is a small market street called "The Cut" ( you may have caught the lyric and I have always assumed a connection). In The Cut there are quite a few restaurants used by MPs and when I worked in that area I often saw MPs in one or two of them.
I never witnessed it personally but I would lay good money that one or two of those restaurants have a feed of the Division Bell.
I love Jukka! He's so expressive, and a trooper, playing drums like this while having migraine, and insomnia. And Emppu's guitar playing reaches new heights, showing all the doubters what he is capable of, he can shred when he wants to.

I think the Jack Sparrow doll is a little nod to the fact that people think that Tuomas looks a bit like the captain. And I actually get similar vibes from Tuomas and Johnny, both seem like warm and empathic people.
The whole band just seems like wonderful people! I wish I could meet them in real life! I pray Jukka and Marko are getting better!
@@MrsRealistic Yes, and the band has really started to bloom since Floor joined, kinda fitting, because if I'm not mistaken, and do correct me if I'm wrong, Floor is dutch for flower, I think. All I know is, if she someday, for some odd reason, decides to leave Sweden, I'll be a very sad swede.
This PF. song in combination with the Nightwish sound and Marco's voice, 😯😯😳🥰
Every single one an extremely talented musician. From all accounts that I have seen, Marko is doing much better now. If you want to check out a very current video, take a look at the single just released about a month ago with Marko and Nightwish's first lead singer, Tarja Turunen called "Left on Mars." It's fantastic.
Yess, also a few weeks earlier Exit Eden released their song Run featuring Marko, which is another collab with geeat female singers.
Marko just had a new song "Left on Mars" gots a more blues sound..oh and Tarja is on vocals also
Thank you!
Greetings from Finland 🤘
Emppu is a Master!!!! Also master of Judo, hes got black belt in it) And hes sooooooo funny, our prankmaker. What a nice guy.
This is gonna be controversial!
I had always loved the Pink Floyed original!
But......
I enjoy & love this version more!
I'm 54yrs young!
So it really wasn't a spontaneous thought!
❤😂❤😂
Following greats like Led Zeppelin Deep Purple ACDC etc from my teens i can unequivocally say Nightwish is just at another level
I'll ditto that sentiment!
I love nightwish and i love this tribute so much but man when David plays the solo in this at the pulse concert its a thing of beauty. unsurpassed
a marko classic an 2 awesome solos that blow ur mind
🤩👍💥💯 🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
If you look closely you can see Marco plays a lot of chords, unusual for a bass player but it adds a lot of fullness to their sound. That's why he uses a pick.

omg!!!
I've tried. I really tried to find a song from Nightwish, one of theirs or a cover that was average or bad. They simply don't exist. Every member of the band, past and present are unique and great.
Want to hear some more of Marco? The Islander and While your lips are still red please!
🙌😁
Marco won the Finnish version of "The masked Singer" a few years ago...he's a fantastic singer...underrated...
How cool! I didn't know that!
pick is used to get different sound, Marko also plays with fingers, but not a lot.
Marko first learned how to play guitar, then bass... Alexi Laiho learned first violin, the guitar...
Ahhh this is a great tribute !! Greetings from nwAse Sweden
Thank you very much! Cheers from Texas!
Indeed…time for new stof😊 Tip…..the songs Shoemaker , Noise and Tribal of the album Human Nature (. 2022) are great. Thx for your reaction. Greetings from the Netherlands
Thank you!! 😁 👍
✌❤🎶🎶❤✌
In rock, hard rock and metal (and many more genres) you preferably use a pick on the bass to get a more punchier and crispier sound.
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘Well done and isn't it better than the original !?
I won't comment on that... someone, somewhere will bite my head off 😆
Pink Floyd Fan for Life....but this one is just........better.
Haunting Keyboard....GREAT Vocals......brillant Guitar Solo...driving drums on point.....this is one of the rare Occasions where I like the Cover better then the already good original.
Just my opinion.
I think he just didn't want to do another 1.5 year tour. He had a new baby with is new wife, and there were other reasons to quit at that time. Those tours are so demanding, especially the one's Nightwish do.
I can fully understand that! Seeing your babies grow is much more important!
Pink Floyd are the best band ive ever heard , followed then since i was 10yrs old when my Dad bought me Meddle for my birthday 52 yrs ago , Nightwish i discovered last summer on you tube last summer and love the sound especially Floor and the drummer , i prefer guitar led bands and for me Floyd are tops closely followed by Led Zeppelin
I can't argue with that! I started listening to pink Floyd when I was a kid with "the wall"...🙌
More marko try kiss while your lips are still red
Just go down the Marko rabbit hole, we know you want to.
🤣👍
In my opinion if you want to rock with the bass, use pick. Playing with fingers the sound mutes little every time finger is touching the string.
That makes sense!
🤘😊🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯👍
you can play chords on a bass. Just ask Lemmy
Any news from the Time Traveler??? 👀👀👀
I haven't heard yet lol!

Better than the original
Has anyone posted that Jukka's migraine crap yet?
From this same concert - Phantom of the Opera. Tarja and Marco. One of the few Nightwish songs where I personally believe Tarja was better than Floor!!
Dang it, I gotta get to that one!

Do people who listen to this , know 1, have listened to the original before this 2. Listened to Floyd 3. know what the lyrics these mean ie "Do they still meet by The Cut " and " in a world of Magnets and Miracles"
I think a lot of people won't know what "the cut" is who don't know anything about English terms.. or looked any of the lyrics up.
Have you heard the original at the Pulse concert 1994 , i was there and was the best night of my life , no band surpasses Floyd
@@MrsRealistic I really think you should listen to the original song before doing covers you will find the original to be the best every single time , except in a tiny few examples , of which ive listed before
@steviesellers I agree that the original is a stunning piece of music. I've never been arguing the fact that this was better than the original. It's done quite differently...a more somber, emotional sound in my opinion... while this is more of a harder rock version. I've never seen the live version from 1994 tho. I'm sure it was an amazing concert!
BS
or 4*
Guitarist dares to perform a Gilmore solo in a live concert.
Not something I ever expected to see in my lifetime.
Brave.
Why? It's not a difficult solo. Don'' see why you think its a big deal.
@@milton1448 When you're on-stage in Australia performing any Gilmore solo I'll pay for front row seats.
And provide a critique.
@@evanhayward1502 I play guitar. It wasn't a shot at Gilmore, simply stating that it's an easy solo. Not planning any trips down under though
@@milton1448 All cool, mate. I get a bit defensive at times.
There are only 3 decent covers and all on youtube with millions of views 1, Joe Cocker / with a little help from my friends, woodstock 1969 LIVE 2 . Disturbed / Sound of Silence , conan show LIVE 3 . Johnny Cash / Hurt 4. Faith No More / Easy
I love ALL of those!! 😁👍
@@MrsRealistic you havnt reacted to any of those , ive been through your reactions , one of the reasons ive unsubscribed your music isnt mine
@steviesellers I didn't say I reacted to them, I said I love them. I react to music I've not heard before. I did the Disturbed, but not the Conan show version. So you only subscribe to channels who react to music that you have listened to or "approve of"? That's a strange pre-requisite.
Empuu is as good or better than David Gilmore. Change my mind.
so sad your man is your man i feel sory for him s b
I have no idea what you mean...🤔🤷♀️
Sorry, I can't stand wannabe "tribute" bands.
If this is the only song you've heard from Nightwish, then you don't know they aren't a tribute band. They play all their own music. This was ONE song in which they did a tribute to High Hopes.
They stick to what they are good at , trying to copy Pink Floyd is a Joke
It's a tribute...I don't think they're trying to "copy". David Gilmour had a link to it on the web site, so I'm not sure who you're "outraged" for. But they were flattered.
@@MrsRealistic Dave Gilmore is a nice guy , ive never heard this cover and never will , ive seen this song done twice by Floyd at the Pulse tour in london and Italy LIVE . For me its a very emotional song , the last song on their last LP , there is a reason why Floyd songs are not covered very often , coz basically Floyd are Floyd
I was in my 20's and 30's in the 1970's and 1980's. I thought Pink Floyd was a joke back then. Nightwsh tribute dominates the Pink Floyd version by a mile.
@steviesellers I understand. People will have their favorites, and certain songs that will hit you hard. But I don't think Dave would bring attention to a "cover" that he didn't approve of. So you didn't actually LISTEN to this Nightwish tribute? I dig Pink Floyd, and many other artists who have had covers done of their songs... some I love, some are ok.
How do you know this cover is shite if you haven't even heard it?
As a Floyd fan im really annoyed people watch this shite cover . unsubscribed
You unsubscribe because you don't like a song someone reacts to? Wow, I think you have other issues. By the way, this was praised by pink Floyd and was not intended to be a "cover" but a tribute. I wanted to hear Marko sing more and this was the song suggested by everyone.
Yes David Gilmore posted this on his Instagram.
Pink Floyd was nothing compared to the Rolling Stones and other bands back in the day.
@@MrsRealistic LOL "Wow, I think you have other issues." I get a little crazy sometimes with my comments, but unsubscribe. That was soooo funny.
@bennybuffylove Wait, are you saying you're unsubscribing too? I can't tell if you actually think it was funny, or if you're being sarcastic 😆
I'm so glad you reacted to this one. Knew you'd like it. Jukka was dealing with a migraine head ache during this show. I can't begin to imagine how he pulled this show off. There are some bands if you're smart you never try to cover - nothing good usually comes from it. Then there's Nightwish blowin' up a Pink Floyd classic. Holy Smokes. everytime I watch this video I sit here in disbelief at what I'm hearing. Since you've found the End of an Era concert, check Tarja doin' Nemo. It's another stunner. Enjoy
Thank you for the info!
🇬🇧 Norfolk along for this tribute 😊see the sadness in their eyes as this is the night of the open letter 😮
