That spectacular set was all CGI. They were in a studio in front of a green screen! This was from their virtual live performance. Both shows were incredible.
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
It was such a great pair of virtual online concerts. They all did a great job playing live music again even if it was not front of a live audience. Troy did a wonderful job but Floor just sang amazingly. I know she made it look effortless but I know she must of practiced all the songs in the combined set lists especially for such a hard song like this.
I didn't figure that Floor or Tuomas would put something on an album if they didn't feel they could do it live, but HOLY CRAP!!! She is absolutely amazing. I just don't even know what to think anymore. Breathtaking.
@@clivematthews5296 For two albums, really? And besides, at the time of joining Nightwish, Floor already had 15 years of experience in a variety of metal bands, and Anette was an unknown singer from a local ABBA cover band, and Tuomas knew this.
@@clivematthews5296 Relatively easy? Well, maybe just for you :) I remember very well one of the first interviews with Floor after joining the band, where she said that "Amaranth" is the most difficult Nightwish song for her.
**Update: this video may be taken down as fans have notified that the link to this video is breaching copyright and nightwish has requested not to post this performance which we would like to respect if indeed true. So, comment below what nightwish reaction you would like to see and will be sure to do another just for you all. Thank you Nightwish fans for the love and support for Rise Academy of Music and for having our back. I love the passion and knowledge you have for this amazing band!
All the songs and live concert footage is copyrighted stuff. This conceet though will be officially released at some point. That's why almost all the videos of this virtual concert are deleted more easily.
It does. Just take it down yourselves please. NW doesn’t generally take down reactions to stuff they themselves released, but they specifically stated they were opposed to posting captures or reactions on those from the virtual live shows. That should be respected IMO.
There is another live video of Shoemaker from I believe a Helsinki show and IMO the operatic vocals at the end are even better! I’d love to see you react to the acoustic version of How’s the Heart too!
This was from Nightwish' recent virtual concert. Even Floor was not sure if they/she could pull this one off Live! I think it was amazing for the first ever performance. It was also missing Marko's great backing vocals.
What an honest comment you gave. Thank you. Floor can sing anything, not just symphonic metal, in which she is the queen or goddess (you may choose). A lot of people fell in love with Floor, what a voice! She aims at your heart. Perhaps a good suggestion. Give your comment on Floor when she sings the lady Gaga song "Shallow" or when she sings with Henk Poort "Phantom of the opera". You can listen more than 20 songs with Floor and Nightwish. From melodic (symphonic) metal to hard metal. Stay healthy dear lady and enjoy music and help singers to become better.
Thanks u for returning to Nightwish. The first live version of Shoemaker from their livestream concerts - a wonderful experience where the band performed in a totally green box. Don't think this has even been released yet. Anyway, wonderful to see how you were touched, especially at the end, by Floor's operatic voice, not to talk about how she and Troy did the duos (sadly not a trio with Marko) - the whole band (incl. new session bass player Jukka) did a fantastic job
Am surprised you found any videos of the first virtual concert which was excellent as was the second one. Love acoustic version of How's The Heart in first one.
not for her to physically sing I think that is still Everdream as that high belt kills her. I think it was more the trying to work out the ending so that she was happy with it that caused the problem with this song and getting the breathing timed right in the starting phrases or maybe that was the problem with Pan? I dunno it all sounds so easy when she does it :D
A great reaction to a great band. Can I just say that the music quality that you put out is most probably the best I have heard from any youtube reactors. There are some really good ones out there. But so many sound like they are just using the speaker in a mobile phone, or mums old broken record player from the 60's. So thanks for caring.
This was the first time I saw Nightwish live and without Marko. I read that many comments say this was so great. Usually I prefer Nightwish live above their studio albums. But this quality was in my honest opinion, quite less than the studio version. Perhaps the recording of this concert was less well done. It was also a smalller setting (than e.g. Wacken or Wembley). But I am so glad you found this! Thanks. PS Did you react to the album version as well? I know it is not fair to do sa, but in this case ... .
Thank you little Tina, and congratulations on your new improvements to your academy and tutelage !! Not forgetting your new subscriber count as well !! 👏👏🍾🥂 Do you realize the colour of that beautiful dress/jacket you are wearing is almost an identical colour to that worn by Tarja back in 2005,with Nightwish performing 'The Phantom of the Opera.' Thank you for the reaction,well done !! 😊😊😘
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens heavy metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot diehard fans like me😁. The fans called Wolfpack. The song is "Set the world on fire" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
Listened again to this version. A few things popped up now: 1) We don't get to see the base player. 2) The chorus is now lead by Floor, not by Troy (who is now only doing a backing up, rather than Floor backing Troy), 3) I like the heavier guitar part as compared to the studio version, it adds a bit more dynamics to the song. Is this really a live version? It looks more like a dress rehearsel (no audience). I don't see, nor hear an audience.
@@johnlindquist1784 Thanks. Now we we only need to address the philosophical issue: is a virtual show a 'live' performance? :) As there is no live audience that reacts to the show, the band cannot 'react back' to the crowd, the show lacks the typical live vibe. Yet, if they mess up, the whole world will notice, so that part is very much live. As the song is pretty difficult to sing, I think Floor probably will have felt the pressure of a live show.
@@fredvanwyk5869 it wasn’t that live either. The stream was actually pre-recorded in order to be able to deal with technical issues should they occur. But I do think it’s a single take.
I saw both these shows and I actually thought night 2 was better, but they didn't play shoemaker on night 2. But check out some of the fan videos of this from their secret show. I think it's better.
beside of Nightwish I discovered the Gathering..... (their former singer was THE inspiration for Floor to go metal) My favorite song is Travel and the best version is from TG25 concert in Doornroosje , Nijmegen (Netherlands, also Dutch........ we have the best in this small country....best of female metal singers..... LOL ) For me Shoemaker is very emotional..........My mother was very busy trying to find the meaning of life and how we came to it.....
Here is the first time they did Shoemaker in front of a crowd as a warmup before they started the festival circuit. th-cam.com/video/N5R6q2GsTgA/w-d-xo.html
Excellent reaction from you - but I think you are violating the copyright by doing this version from the Virtual Shows. They are not official released yet, and Nightwish warned people to use copies on the NET. The official version is breathtaking as well - and the ending Floor made in her homestudio, because she wasn't satisfied with the first version from the Nightwish studio. I saw both the Virtual Shows and I agree that Nightwish are best live - but it is a pirate copy you are using - but still - great reaction from you 👍 🤘 🤘
I don't want to cause problems here, but are you really sure that you are not reacting to and showing an illegal copy of that concert? There is no link to the "original video" in your description and if you search for "Nightwish Shoemaker live" this video no longer pops up. Copyright infringes are a real thing and so far all copies of that concert got taken down.
@@RonniePeterson We have two possibilities. Either you actually don't hear it, or you are one of the "It's impossible for Nightwish to be anything other than perfect" crowd. Either way you amusement means nothing.
That spectacular set was all CGI. They were in a studio in front of a green screen! This was from their virtual live performance. Both shows were incredible.
Floor has turned me into the biggest cry baby. Tears flow daily listening to her with Nightwish. Feels good , so must be good. Life is good :)
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she

To be honest, I would like to remind you that in Anetta's era Tuomas wrote vocal parts for her that she wasn't able to perform at live concerts ;)
@@SokolRock but not his failure but hers. Hoped to stretch her as he has with Floor.
@@clivematthews5296 For two albums, really? And besides, at the time of joining Nightwish, Floor already had 15 years of experience in a variety of metal bands, and Anette was an unknown singer from a local ABBA cover band, and Tuomas knew this.

Floor = chills !!!!!
Incredible, stupendous, unparalleled, amazing, unbelievable...in other words that was pretty damned good!
Just another epic performance in nightwish world? What a singer FLOOR IS

Rehearsals for this were interrupted by Floor suddenly requiring gall bladder surgery. She was not long past recovery.
Ngl, when she reached the end with the "Laudato si Ad Astra" I got teary eyed
