It's interesting; a few more people have made that comment and I'm curious what the thinking is. From my understanding, the main difference between covers and tributes is that a) tributes are done by bands that only play songs from one band, and/or b) tributes as single songs are for someone who died. I guess maybe people are just trying to stress how much NW likes PF? I guess I'm wondering if the term "tribute" is more commonly used than I'm aware of for a different purpose.
If you haven't seen a keyboard at an ergonomic angle you can't be watching many keyboard players. Multiple keyboards are often at differentvangles. I'm glad that you liked it - Gilmore did.
It's true that I haven't seen THAT many keyboard players. I've seen some at different angles, just not that extreme. Or what seemed extreme to me at least. It's probably like people with ergonomic desks at work (that are high up, and they basically work standing all day). First time I saw it it seemed strange, then I found out it's reasonably common. I guess I'm just an accidental ergophobe. :-) Cool that DG liked it; that's gotta feel good!
The show was in Finland and this was also the last time everyone on in the band was Finnish. But it is pretty common that if both band and audience are Finns the speaks between songs are in Finnish.
Kiitos is Thank You in Finnish. It was Tarja's last show, she was offstage for a wardrobe change during this song. #8 in an 18 song set here. Yes, Marko has an awesome voice. From when he joined in 2001, to this 2005 show, he would sing lead on a cover song to give Tarja time for an outfit change. Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction is another they played, 2004ish. More of a tribute, as you can see by the guitar solo and the keyboards. Rumor has it that David Gilmore has seen this, and loved it. Tuomas' keyboard is angled for ergonomic reasons. Keeps the wrist angle , for the lower keyboard, closer to the angle of playing sitting down. Some more songs that Marko sang lead on, to add to the list: The islander (live at Tampere 2015), While Your Lips are Still Red (Live at Wembley 2015). Eventually check out Marko's first band ,Tarot , as well: Wings of Darkness or Tides. But next when you come back to Nightwish, I recommend Marko and Floor singing Romanticide (live at Wacken)
I wonder if some of the emotion he was emoting in this performance was due to his knowing they were firing Tara after the show. I don't think she knew it was about to happen.
Many have said this is not a cover song but tribute to Pink Floyd of that song. This is beautiful version, if I would heard this the first time I would say this is Nightwish song. I am so happy to lived this era of having Nightwish in my life, I have found it so soothing and heart healing for me when I needed. I was at their live concert here in Finland last June and I tell you, nothing compares to seeing them live. I have all their albums since 1996 in very safe place locked 😊and very very happily waiting for their 10th album this year.
Marko can SANG. His other band was called Tarot. Marko turned 57 on January 14th. The drummer had to quit because of his Insomnia but he's still behind the scenes of the band( his name is Jukka). Love his beard
I'm not aware of what that is exactly; I'm assuming some sort of anonymous singing contest. Is it available to watch anywhere? Sounds like a lot of fun (and I'm not surprised he killed it)
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Yes it is a tv show series that features celebrities singing songs while wearing head-to-toe costumes and face masks concealing their identities. The show employs panelists who guess the celebrities' identities by interpreting clues provided to them throughout each episode and vote alongside the audience for their favorite singer. After each episode the least popular is eliminated, taking off their mask to reveal their identity. The funny thing is the panellists weren't able gues who was "The Doctor" until he won and took off his mask. Even though Marko Hietala considered one of the originators of metal in Finland where at the time metal was the most popular music genre in general. I think there is videos with subtitles of the show on YT.
OK, just watched all of the songs at lunch, and I would have had NO idea it was him. The variety of song styles, vocal ranges, dance routines, etc., was just all over the place. Absolutely spectacular. Even the judges couldn't believe it was the same person singing all of the songs (before they knew who it was).
I saw PF play High Hopes on the Division Bell tour, and I seem to remember they had a big bell on stage which they hit during the song for the distinctive bell ring sound. Yes the Nightwish screen is very much the same as PF used. Love this version.
Only time I saw PF was in 1987 at the beginning of the tour that became Delicate Sound of Thunder. It was early enough in the tour that they actually opened with Echoes. I could have probably left after that.
I know about the 5 second increments; I was trying out something new in OBS that I thought would prevent that from working. Turns out I was wrong, so should be a one-time thing. But thanks for pointing it out!
My 5 cent on the keyboard position. Tuomas has 3 keyboards - 2 in front of him and one to the side, which is tilted at an odd angle. His often uses non-conventional techniques in his playing, and some of them are actually quite bad for your wrists (in some videos you can see him pulling away from the keys in pain). So it's hard to tell if the angle of the keyboard is for technical purposes - because god knows what the intended 'technique' actually is haha. But the keyboard on the side, purely from my observation, is usually used for either very sensual and emotional parts, or parts with a distinctly different tone from all other tones used in the song, which in turn means that it has to be played with more emphasis, more feel (not that Nightwish and Tuomas are ever lacking the feels), so standing above the tilted keys like that gives you a lot more room to feel the music through your whole body. This song is a good example, another examples that I can think of off top of my head would be The Poet and the Pendulum, 'The Pacific' section. Also, why only the guitar players get to move their instrument around and feel like a rock star? Keys can be just as cool! :)
What a tribute ( Not Cover) from Nightwish to this legendary song 🤩. Marko is a living legend !!!!! Also... Songs covered by Nightwish
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 cover) 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 🤘😎🤘
Continuing the cover vs. tribute thinking from a different thread, is there something different about this version that makes it a tribute vs. the other covers? (also, you've got High Hopes in the list of covers, which based on many comments seems to be incorrect :-) ) Thanks for the list of covers, esp. with the band names. Some of these were recommended already without the band names and I might have thought of the wrong band (e.g. Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin, Alone by Heart, etc.)
@@DadDaughtersandDrinksyes the Gary Moore - Over the Hills is a different song to Led Zeppelin's and Heart's version of Alone is a later cover of an i-Ten song.
Not only is it a fantastic tribute to Pink Floyd, it surely sounds like an homage to Tarja and the 'good times'. The lyrics align quite nicely to this being her last concert, and the impending infamous letter she would soon get.
You were close on the “T” name. Tuomas is the keyboardist and composer behind Nightwish. Marko is the bassist and, as far as I’m concerned, the best male singer of the genre and possibly of any genre. Marko is a vocal god. Kiitos is the Finnish word for thank you. Two Marko-heavy songs I love are Seven Days to the Wolves and While Your Lips are Still Red. But, who am I kidding? There’s nothing Marko sings that I don’t love.❤
Thank you, glad you liked it !! I think I heard that the tilted keyboard could be easier and put less stress on the hand, especially when he Tuomas plays on the one facing the crowd ("normally" placed), and has his left hand on the tilted one
Terrific reaction to this wonderful tribute to the great Pink Floyd. Loved it, including every pause for discussion. Keep the Nightwish live performance reactions coming and thank you.
Even the circle light behind them hearkens to "Pulse" a decade earlier, as you noticed! Throughout the video you can see the rest of the guys mouthing the lyrics at times, so they all know them. A tribute to PF and a choice of song inspired by or relating to the forthcoming "Tarja thing". (David Gilmour can play fast - the band Berlin's track "Pink and Velvet" (like Comfortably Numb too!)) Emppu's work with Brother Firetribe is worth a listen too! Kiitos is Finnish for Thank You. Tuomas' keyboards angle is better for the wrists to prevent RSI! They give their fans their money's worth with long gigs!
It was no coincidence - Tuomas wanted these "Pink Floyd lights" above them because this version is a tribute to Pink Floyd not a cover. David Gilmore himself said that he really likes this version.
Marko the Bassist sings pretty well for someone English is a second language. Also Kiitos Means Thank you in Finnish. Yes it's not a cover so not exactly the same It's a Tribute since the members love Pink Floyd
Just watched Like Orpheus. Really interesting song and video! Also, the comments were very fascinating to read as well. They highlight how important music like this is to certain parts of the world; it's not really just entertainment to them. I've always like middle eastern melodies and chord progressions in my metal, but it's usually more just a small hint of it. In full force here. Thanks for that recommendation!
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Glad you enjoyed it. Try some of thier "older" stuff from Mabool ("flood") or newer stuff like "The Cave" (relating to Plato's alegory of the cave). Also lots of good live music - would highly recommend the 2011 DVD th-cam.com/video/XXH62AmUEdI/w-d-xo.html
Nightwish, The Warning and Sabaton are my top 3 bands that are still active. Yes, Tarja was still the main singer for this concert but was doing a costume change. The singer is Marko Hietala. He is an institution in Finnish metal. Unfortunately he split from Nightwish in January of 2021 after 20 years. Kiitos => Thank You. You mentioned Karaoke. I'm not normally a fan of it but there is one exception. Brittney Slayes - Queen of the Reich Karaoke - Edinburgh Note that she did this after a full concert with her own band, Unleash the Archers.
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Highly recommend you checkout Brittney's band Unleash the Archers before checking out her slaying Queen of the Reich in a karaoke bar. They are a modern version of an old school power metal band from Vancouver. Brittney sang in a world famous chamber choir at the University of Victoria while at school and sounds like the female version of Bruce Dickinson and Geoff Tate. The whole band is amazing and virtuosic in their playing. Entry point for most reactors is the song Awakening. th-cam.com/video/gqUPGa15Oto/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lk1Z2qmvVu33T1QP. It is the opening song from Apex, the first album in a two album (Apex and Abyss) fantasy storyline about the struggle between the Immortal and the Matriarch. If you want to delve into the story more Brittney (who wrote the storyline) has videos on Napalm Records YT channel where she goes through track by track on each album and explains the story. Here is the video from the bar. th-cam.com/video/280DRqoGyLw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hUxiSPX5KwSM3wUy. Recorded on a cell phone yet Brittney definitely slays the performance. Saw them live a few years ago in a small club and they were fantastic. As you can tell I am a big fan.
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Great. No problem on the timing. I know your list of recommendations is huge by now. Shout out from an ex Texan. I lived in Houston for about 20 years before moving back to Vermont to care for my Dad. My kids still live in Texas (son in Dallas, twin daughters at Baylor) and I really miss Texas.
They are Finnish, so Kiitos is Finnish for Thank You and you will also often hear Kiitos Paljon, which means Thank You Very Much. The j is pronounce like an i and the double i like a long i.
@@nivatechnik7961Thanks for calling it out; I'll need to look into that. It's not speakers next to my screen as I don't have any. I've had the same setup without issues for a while, so I'm not sure what's happened. Sorry!
OK, I've figured out and fixed the issue. My sound mixer in OBS was outputting the sound going to my headphones on top of the recording itself (kindof a software equivalent of having the speakers next to the mic), causing an echo. Won't happen again! Thanks again for pointing it out.
I think you have two inputs coming to your recording software and the sound sounds too much reverbed. Drums suffer the most. Anyway hanks for the reaction, it seems big Pink Floyd fans like this version the most - understandably :) Also you can use , and . to skip one videoframe at a time...
Haha, yeah, this one was a bit of a mess, technically. My sound is normally fine and I know the buttons to use; I tried something a little different and it just screwed everything up. It's all fixed now, so no worries for anything here on out. (The problem was that my headphone monitor channel was also being doubled over the output, causing that weird echo).
Noticed you were a little frustrated when trying to go back just a little bit with the pointer. In case you don't know, you can use keyboard shortcuts for short back/forward adjustments. Left and Right arrow keys go 5secs, while J and L keys go 10secs.
Yeah, I know. I was trying something a little different and having some technical difficulties. Oddly, it was related to what was causing the sound issue. All worked out now.
From the number of comments you should know that your reaction is appreciated. I have watch many reactions to this performance and you are the first person who commented on Empuu’s slide during his tapping solo. Thank you. By the way I think leaving captions on during live performances is great, especially for Nightwish! Tuomas’s lyrics are special perhaps because English is not his first language You mentioned that you might watch some of Floor’s solo performances. I suggest you get your daughters to join you in reacting to Floor’s cover of Shallow on a Dutch tv show, Beste Zangers. th-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aFmgTNwoIs0JainI
Thanks for this, and I will try and get them to watch this when they come over I think this weekend. We all saw Star is Born together, and I know they all like the original. Cheers!
You might also like Marlo’s performances on Finland’s version of the masked Singer. Here is just are a few. th-cam.com/video/9Q5hcbcLBM0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TR4h49uM1HNKYUEy
If you are liking Nightwish, I recommend you should check out the band "Epica". Still symphonic metal, but can be heavier. I recommend starting with the live song "Unleashed" from their retrospect 10th year anniversary concert.
The effect you have on the audio is too much for me. I’ve observed some reactors do that and I think I get why, but it makes the video unwatchable for me. I watched your vids before and it wasn’t a problem then. It just sounds like Mario is singing in the Batcave. I have to pass. Bummer.
Yeah, I'm not sure what happened, but I can assure you it wasn't on purpose. Some have said it sounds like I had external speakers next to the mic, but I don't have external speakers, so I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully I'll work it out for the next one.

Emppu Vuorinen is one of the most underrated guitar Players in the rock-world!
yes, I agree...tasteful and his tone
I don't think you're underrated if you have 3 guitars named after you by a major guitar maker like ESP. 🎸
100%.
Not by the Nightwish fans, personally I’m a big Emppu fan!
He is awesome and versatile but seldom show off .... some talented guitar analyzing people rank him in top 5 in the world.
This are not a cover,this are a tribute.:) Nightwish for me best live band . 🤘🤘🤘🤘
damn right my friend
It's interesting; a few more people have made that comment and I'm curious what the thinking is. From my understanding, the main difference between covers and tributes is that a) tributes are done by bands that only play songs from one band, and/or b) tributes as single songs are for someone who died. I guess maybe people are just trying to stress how much NW likes PF? I guess I'm wondering if the term "tribute" is more commonly used than I'm aware of for a different purpose.
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks ..It more like"Thank You" from Nightwish to Pink Floyd..:)
Relax people
You can call it homage too, right?@@DadDaughtersandDrinks
Marco is something else, and we all love it. And hope all the best for him and his career.
And may he return one day... not looking like that, but we keep hoping!
Jukka, the Drummer, was suffering with a migraine during this performance, he still did an outstanding job!🤘🎸
I can't even imagine.
This is a great tribute , the best tribute according to Gilmore . Greetings from nwAse Sweden
I concur
Kiitos is finnish and means Thank you. Emppu did some great solos there, and of course, Marko sings his heart out.
If you haven't seen a keyboard at an ergonomic angle you can't be watching many keyboard players. Multiple keyboards are often at differentvangles. I'm glad that you liked it - Gilmore did.
It's true that I haven't seen THAT many keyboard players. I've seen some at different angles, just not that extreme. Or what seemed extreme to me at least. It's probably like people with ergonomic desks at work (that are high up, and they basically work standing all day). First time I saw it it seemed strange, then I found out it's reasonably common. I guess I'm just an accidental ergophobe. :-)
Cool that DG liked it; that's gotta feel good!

Thanks for those new recommendations. I've had several requests for Romanticide, so that will likely be pretty soon.

I wonder if some of the emotion he was emoting in this performance was due to his knowing they were firing Tara after the show. I don't think she knew it was about to happen.

The best tribute from on of the moust greatest bands to other..
A few years back when our guy Marco had some time in his hands entered the finnish Masked Singer to completely destoy it.
I'm not aware of what that is exactly; I'm assuming some sort of anonymous singing contest. Is it available to watch anywhere? Sounds like a lot of fun (and I'm not surprised he killed it)

Absolutely spectacular. Even the judges couldn't believe it was the same person singing all of the songs (before they knew who it was).
A tilted keyboard puts less stress on the pulse!
...or player's wrists. It's just ergonomics. Tuomas is standing and the second keyboard is below the other (not above, as most twin keyboars are).
I saw PF play High Hopes on the Division Bell tour, and I seem to remember they had a big bell on stage which they hit during the song for the distinctive bell ring sound. Yes the Nightwish screen is very much the same as PF used. Love this version.

Ah, that's really cool. So it really was a nod to PF then. Awesome.
To jump back in a video in 5 second increments tap the left arrow key on your keyboard. The keyboard is tilted to reduce hand strain.
I know about the 5 second increments; I was trying out something new in OBS that I thought would prevent that from working. Turns out I was wrong, so should be a one-time thing. But thanks for pointing it out!

Continuing the cover vs. tribute thinking from a different thread, is there something different about this version that makes it a tribute vs. the other covers? (also, you've got High Hopes in the list of covers, which based on many comments seems to be incorrect :-) )
Thanks for the list of covers, esp. with the band names. Some of these were recommended already without the band names and I might have thought of the wrong band (e.g. Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin, Alone by Heart, etc.)
@@DadDaughtersandDrinksyes the Gary Moore - Over the Hills is a different song to Led Zeppelin's and Heart's version of Alone is a later cover of an i-Ten song.
Not only is it a fantastic tribute to Pink Floyd, it surely sounds like an homage to Tarja and the 'good times'. The lyrics align quite nicely to this being her last concert, and the impending infamous letter she would soon get.
Wonderful tribute to the greatest band in rock history. Kiitos means Thank you. Kiitos! and cheers from a finn in Sweden.

Well is no typical nightwish. But I like old time tributs or covers.
The keyboard angle is easier on the wrist when it sits that low . When the keyboard sits higher, the angle is more level.
In many ways, I like this more than the original.
Also, have you ever heard of Orphaned Land? you might find it surprisingly interesting.
I haven't... what is it?

If you want to delve into the story more Brittney (who wrote the storyline) has videos on Napalm Records YT channel where she goes through track by track on each album and explains the story. Here is the video from the bar. th-cam.com/video/280DRqoGyLw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hUxiSPX5KwSM3wUy. Recorded on a cell phone yet Brittney definitely slays the performance. Saw them live a few years ago in a small club and they were fantastic. As you can tell I am a big fan.
You've convinced me to check this out. I'm not sure how quickly I'll get to it, but I'll get there eventually.
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Great. No problem on the timing. I know your list of recommendations is huge by now. Shout out from an ex Texan. I lived in Houston for about 20 years before moving back to Vermont to care for my Dad. My kids still live in Texas (son in Dallas, twin daughters at Baylor) and I really miss Texas.
You should make sure that The Islander from Tampere 2015 is on your list. A different side of Marko.
Cool, will do. Thanks!
They are Finnish, so Kiitos is Finnish for Thank You and you will also often hear Kiitos Paljon, which means Thank You Very Much. The j is pronounce like an i and the double i like a long i.
Thanks for the linguistics help! So if I'm reading that correctly, for me thank you very much would be phonetically "kye-tose pal-e-yon"?
Kitos = thank you.
🤩👍💥💯🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
"Weak Fantasy"live at Tampere 2015 next by them (?)
Already on the list! Not sure if it will be next, but probably soon.
Marko's voice is a loaded gun...
Alzo great guitar work
Your audio is messed up. Can hear everything with short delay. Espsecially the drums.
@Dad, Daughters (sometimes), and Drinks hat vergessen die Lautsprecher neben seinem Bildschirm auszuschalten. Er könnte auch das Mikro ausschalten.
@@nivatechnik7961Thanks for calling it out; I'll need to look into that. It's not speakers next to my screen as I don't have any. I've had the same setup without issues for a while, so I'm not sure what's happened. Sorry!
OK, I've figured out and fixed the issue. My sound mixer in OBS was outputting the sound going to my headphones on top of the recording itself (kindof a software equivalent of having the speakers next to the mic), causing an echo. Won't happen again! Thanks again for pointing it out.
Love this although I have always hated pink Floyd
Blashpemy! Haha, just kidding. I'm a massive PF fan, but I know it's all subjective and we all have our likes and dislikes.
FYI MARKO WON THE MASKED SINGER FINLAND.
Yes, I watched all of his performances at lunch today. Ton of fun! I never would have known it was him. It was even hard to believe even when I knew!
🤗🍒🤘🏻
😊🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯👍
Audio vol 🔛🔝🔊 TY 💙🇫🇮
Ketos is Thank you in Finnish.
The sole reason for the angle: Your hands line up with your wrists. It makes it easier to play standing up.
I think you have two inputs coming to your recording software and the sound sounds too much reverbed. Drums suffer the most.
Anyway hanks for the reaction, it seems big Pink Floyd fans like this version the most - understandably :) Also you can use , and . to skip one videoframe at a time...
Haha, yeah, this one was a bit of a mess, technically. My sound is normally fine and I know the buttons to use; I tried something a little different and it just screwed everything up. It's all fixed now, so no worries for anything here on out. (The problem was that my headphone monitor channel was also being doubled over the output, causing that weird echo).
Noticed you were a little frustrated when trying to go back just a little bit with the pointer. In case you don't know, you can use keyboard shortcuts for short back/forward adjustments. Left and Right arrow keys go 5secs, while J and L keys go 10secs.
Yeah, I know. I was trying something a little different and having some technical difficulties. Oddly, it was related to what was causing the sound issue. All worked out now.
Not a cover, tribute. They are fans os PF themselves.
Marco says "Kitos", that means "thank you". This is finnisch.
Ojalá Marco haga este cover en su gira con Tarja en LATAM 🙌🏻
I hope so also! (not that I'll be there, but I'll be happy for you)

From the number of comments you should know that your reaction is appreciated. I have watch many reactions to this performance and you are the first person who commented on Empuu’s slide during his tapping solo. Thank you.
By the way I think leaving captions on during live performances is great, especially for Nightwish! Tuomas’s lyrics are special perhaps because English is not his first language
You mentioned that you might watch some of Floor’s solo performances. I suggest you get your daughters to join you in reacting to Floor’s cover of Shallow on a Dutch tv show, Beste Zangers.

Thanks for this, and I will try and get them to watch this when they come over I think this weekend. We all saw Star is Born together, and I know they all like the original. Cheers!
You might also like Marlo’s performances on Finland’s version of the masked Singer. Here is just are a few.

@@learnerchrisHa, I actually watched this at lunch today! 🙂
That’s not a screen, that’s a Stargate 😜
hahaha
Terrible reverb on the playback which is not on the original track
Yes, I've addressed that in some other comments. Won't happen again.
If you are liking Nightwish, I recommend you should check out the band "Epica". Still symphonic metal, but can be heavier. I recommend starting with the live song "Unleashed" from their retrospect 10th year anniversary concert.
OK, I've put them on the list. Thanks!
Thanks for these reactions and insights. It's good seeing your genuine enjoyment with music.
echo,,,,,
Yep, fixed.
your voice volume is too low
Yeah, that was just one of the multiple sound problems I had with this video. All fixed now though. Thanks!
The effect you have on the audio is too much for me. I’ve observed some reactors do that and I think I get why, but it makes the video unwatchable for me. I watched your vids before and it wasn’t a problem then. It just sounds like Mario is singing in the Batcave. I have to pass. Bummer.
Yeah, I'm not sure what happened, but I can assure you it wasn't on purpose. Some have said it sounds like I had external speakers next to the mic, but I don't have external speakers, so I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully I'll work it out for the next one.
