At the show tonight, Floor thanked everyone and said its been an amazing last few days and she hoped it would continue for a long time. The crowd went crazy and the guys in the band were all nodding and smiling. I think shes going to be the full time replacement. I have now seen them 5 times, twice with Tarja, twice with Anette and now with Floor. Tarja was excellent, Anette was pretty good and Floor is awesome. Great voice and stage presence and she can sing the older stuff, shes a keeper.
Wait a second, a soprano singer who arrives at short notice, nails all old songs and sings the new ones so well that makes Anette's studio versions sound like the replacement? And she won't even run off stage crying? Welcome back Nightwish, you have been missed.
please learn this setlist in 48 hrs... OMG!!! and a great job she did!!! listening to her versions of the songs now... simply great! Finally a NW singer who sings every bit of the songs and the choir is what it is supposed to be! a choir! the front lady sings EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so glad she stayed! looking forward to their new album with her voice!
I was there and it was my first Nightwish concert. I was sad not to see Annette, but Floor was incredible. Her stage presence is impeccable and electric. Needless to say I fell in love with her and her music after this performance.
It was definitely a nice surprise! I loved her performance as well. I've seen Anette back in 2008 and while I enjoyed it too, it wasn't as 'powerful' as it was with Floor here in Portland.
And today, 4 years later, I'm still mindblown. Floor has taken the songs, and improved them in my opinion. By adding her own parts to the songs. Like the background choir part in Storytime at 1:58 - That sounds fucking angelic in the Wacken 2013 performance. And the end of storytime as well, she just knocks it out of the park... People seem super excited at this show... Like you said people expected Annette, but looks like everyone was very pleased with Floors performance. When she's introduced at 5:26 she gets a really warm welcome. Damn this woman is an goddess. Themyscira called, they want the REAL Wonder Woman back. She completely destroys Anette xD
You are the most real Nightwish fan I've seen. Like the old saying goes, Old fans like Tarja, New fans like Anette, Newer fans like Floor. REAL fans like Nightwish
I saw Floor Jansen with her old Band After Forever and thought she was a very good singer and a very good strong front woman. and after watching this, it looks like she has been in Nightwish for ages. I just wish I had gone to concert in London to see them, I'm kicking myself now. She handles both previous singers songs really well.
As a rule I hate 'shaky cams' but this is the only one I have ever seen that actually makes me feel like I was actually there - thank you uploader - you are f**king awesome and it's a great cam too with fab sound \m/ kudos \m/
She literally got hired 48 hours before the gig, dude! This is basically unrehearsed stuff that she's never sung with a band before! And it still kicks some major butt! This tells just how good Floor is.
I have been won over. This is definitely a move in the right direction with the singing. She handles both the old and new styles with ease. Keep her as long as you can, Nightwish!
I love you Floooooooooooooorr! You've to stay on! After three or four years, I'm back to Nightwish music at last! Thank you! I'll forget these last years' parenthesis :)
Oh thank God. What a difference one day makes. So this is what Floor sounds like when she's had a little sleep and practice. I hope the support we fans in Seattle showed encouraged her so she could be more confident yesterday. I guess I should have stopped crying in my room over Anette and made the drive down to Portland.
I can't wait to see them live again, to hear all the old songs in proper vocals. With passion... sung with someone who has some opera talent. Thank you Nightwish for finally hearing your old school fans. You've gained at least ONE more back!!! :P
OMG thank you so much for posting this! I have two shows to go to this weekend. I wasn't familiar with Floor. I am so comforted by how awesome she is. I was devastated by the whole Anette leaving bullshit! I loved her! But this tells me my most beloved band ever will be OK. I FUCKING LOVE MARCO!!!
She fits really amazingly in old songs.. if you wanna update playlist in description: 9:40 Dead to the world 11:25 I want my tears back 12:57 The islander 15:10 Floor speaking 15:45 Last of the wilds 16:55 Planet hell 18:53 Ghost River 20:16 Last ride of the day 20:32 Imaginaerum
This really makes me want to listen to nightwish again in a very long time, like the latest album with anette but didn't listen to nightwish anymore on a regular basis, now i enjoy listening to them again :)
I bought my tickets for the Mexico City show literally the day before I found out Anette was leaving. When I bought them, I was happy. The morning after, I was ECSTATIC! :D
Ahh.. I remember this concert.. First time seeing Nightwish, and first time seeing Floor.. PERFECT.. Gonna see them again April 26th! Got a VIP so I can meet these talented musicians. See y'all there Portlandians!
Oh man, this is amazing! I haven't listened to Nightwish with such pleasure in ages! I've had the displeasure to see them in a festival this summer (was there for Within temptation), and luckily they were the last band playing. So I got the hell out of the arena. Three songs were enough for me to understand that I was always and ever right on how I felt about Anette. She's better gone.
thanks for posting the footage of the show, really excited they picked up Floor for the tour and i really hope they end up keeping her in the band, her voice is the perfect fit for the band in the post-Tarja era
If this is what Floor sounds like with a bad cold and major jetlag, not to mention having all of a day or two to learn all the lyrics, then I'm very much looking forward to the shows in Florida on the 13th and 14th!
Thanks for posting this video.....we're going to see Nightwish in Manchester England on 4th November. Really looking forward to seeing Floor on stage. She sounds awesome even if she did have a cold. I'm hoping now that Nightwish are back with an operatic style singer, they will do more of the songs that Tarja did so so so well. After all, Floor has an amazing voice.
Wow, this is a night and day difference for the better with Floor filling in. I wish I could have seen her perform in Toronto, ON. Nightwish is finally a band again.
She herself wanted to come as soon as it possible.She really enjoy the presence of NW,so it´s really simple.She sings better the old and newer songs,so they can expand their song choices,which are the heavier you hoped for.Tuomas knew Anette´s weaknesses and strengths of new album but they wanted more,Floor singing capacity is more stronger, which they need. NW or her future can not speculate.Proof of it case Watch: Nightwish - Planet Hell - City National Grove, Anaheim CA, October 5th, 2012
This is because the two last albums was make to Anette's voice... Floor can sing the two NIghtwish's eras... I think she is amazing and actually she is perfect to the band...
Floor, you fit NW perfectly!! After Forever's still one of my favourite bands today and ReVamp rocks like hell! I love your accent (you almost sound American now hehe) and your voice is just unbelievable. I was THRILLED when I heard you replaced Anette. I'm very sad to see her go, but well, NW have to move on now. And they'll move on perfectly with you. Just hope you stay in! Don't let go of NW, please! Do not dare to leave! Hehe :)
Blimey mate she's a TOWER!! she's bloody tall!!!! and she can hit all the notes with nooo problem!! simply bloody brilliant!! She is whom nightwish needs!!!
I was at this concert(I saw me recording a couple times in this). And Everytime I see it on here, it just puts a smile on my face of it all. The music, The band, the new girl Floor, and the raw power of it all. It's amazing. Best thing about that night was beeing soooooo close to them! I was about 7-8ft away from the stage. 5ft from the Barrier :) It was a fucking awesome night that night
Beautiful, powerful and talented Floor Jansen. Nightwish couldn't have chosen better. For what I heard, this is the setlist (I know I skipped a few) storytime wish i had an angel dark chest of wonders amaranth dead to the world I want my tears back the islander planet hell
This is SO exciting with Floor!! Are they coming to Dallas Texas by any chance? I've never seen NW live, would love to see them now with her big voice.
there's multiple times where they ask you to take them out... especially the slower songs. go to a show and see for yourself before criticizing. Also, to the OP thanks for the footage. this proves she needs to stay in the band.
Basically almost no prep time. Thats the mark of a true professional. She comes in knowing the words and can perform like she has always been there. Amazing. If you have not seen her Blog, she post comments on how she feels being on tour with NW and in the US.
I couldnt believe my eyes when I heard that she was going to be with them for touring. I used to like After Forever 10 years ago and I loved her voice and performance at stage.
Yes...I agree...There are same things now like they had with Tarja.She told to the band that I make only one album with you and after that I'm will start my solo career.Anette's solo album is very similar thing but there are many other things too like her health and small child...who knows...
I'm from Portland and I didn't get to go to this concert in 2012... but finally in May 20, 2022 I flew to LA and got to see them. They are so amazing.
At the show tonight, Floor thanked everyone and said its been an amazing last few days and she hoped it would continue for a long time. The crowd went crazy and the guys in the band were all nodding and smiling. I think shes going to be the full time replacement.

Great voice and stage presence and she can sing the older stuff, shes a keeper.
21:22 This is a magical moment... Tuomas has nothing but respect for Floor and shows his deepest appreciation... Wonderfull!
Wait a second, a soprano singer who arrives at short notice, nails all old songs and sings the new ones so well that makes Anette's studio versions sound like the replacement? And she won't even run off stage crying?
Welcome back Nightwish, you have been missed.
We have to understand ...this is floors second concert .....Amaaaazing Queen 👑💜🎶🎤🙏🏼
confidence is growing geometrically
please learn this setlist in 48 hrs... OMG!!! and a great job she did!!! listening to her versions of the songs now... simply great! Finally a NW singer who sings every bit of the songs and the choir is what it is supposed to be! a choir! the front lady sings EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so glad she stayed! looking forward to their new album with her voice!
can tell how the way she sings the songs has evolved. amazing job to step in to a situation like that and save the day.
Thomas wish he had an angel, well now he has the most amazing angel ever: Floor Jansen
I was there and it was my first Nightwish concert. I was sad not to see Annette, but Floor was incredible. Her stage presence is impeccable and electric. Needless to say I fell in love with her and her music after this performance.

1:58 And few months later, she was singing that part herself! :D
was just watching that and wondering when she started singing that part.
@@villainouschrisk strangely enough midway in the UK tour november 2012 Birmingham
finally. She has the voice, the attitude and the style to hold Tarjas' place for a while. Bless you, girl

For those who don't know, floor is a 10 years old closer friend to Nightwish, that's why they knowed who to call :P
OMG, I cant get over how perfect she is for this!!! Her voice is so versatile and so...Nightwish appropriate!
I have been won over. This is definitely a move in the right direction with the singing. She handles both the old and new styles with ease. Keep her as long as you can, Nightwish!
I love you Floooooooooooooorr!
You've to stay on! After three or four years, I'm back to Nightwish music at last! Thank you!
I'll forget these last years' parenthesis :)
I love to hear the reaction from the crowd the first time she sang the operatic part.
And Now this is can be the history Arise legendary of Nightwish bringing the magic again
Floor, please pleaaaaaaaase don’t leave Nightwish after this tour, PLEASE!
Now I recognize the Nightwish I fell in love with many years ago.
Oh thank God. What a difference one day makes. So this is what Floor sounds like when she's had a little sleep and practice. I hope the support we fans in Seattle showed encouraged her so she could be more confident yesterday. I guess I should have stopped crying in my room over Anette and made the drive down to Portland.
The second show. It was coming together so quickly. Amazing.
I can't wait to see them live again, to hear all the old songs in proper vocals. With passion... sung with someone who has some opera talent. Thank you Nightwish for finally hearing your old school fans. You've gained at least ONE more back!!! :P

THX a 1000 times for sharing. If I had the money I´d come over to see them in this constellation.
I bought my tickets for the Mexico City show literally the day before I found out Anette was leaving. When I bought them, I was happy. The morning after, I was ECSTATIC! :D
She has the stage presence that they needed, with a great voice. Much welcome.

She's better gone.
2 hours ago floor write us that she had a cold, and wow ! she is a really nice person to do this favor!
This video gives me hope for Nightwish. Thanks for the post.
I am with you! So glad to know someone else agrees with me!
Totally agree. And Floor shows an amazing energy on stage! I absolutely love her!
omg! amazing FLOOR I Love you!!! please stay in Nightwish BUT ALSO KEEP REVAMP :) Im excited about Nightwish again!!!
They are coming to Austin on the 10th (Wednesday). I got tickets as soon as I heard Anette was gone.
This makes me so happy! Never thought I'd see this nightwish again 3
thanks uploader for this priceless footage
Sooo Coool! The whole band seems to be more energetic and... happy!
thanks for posting the footage of the show, really excited they picked up Floor for the tour and i really hope they end up keeping her in the band, her voice is the perfect fit for the band in the post-Tarja era
Greets from Finland! Nightwish is back.
If this is what Floor sounds like with a bad cold and major jetlag, not to mention having all of a day or two to learn all the lyrics, then I'm very much looking forward to the shows in Florida on the 13th and 14th!
Incredible! thank you very much for sharing, this is just beginning
Lovely dutch woman. She is amazing. She did a great job for Nightwish. Thanks for the upload. I was curious about her :)
Yea, she's fierce on stage, she really took over the show. Her vocals and presence is powerful. It's great to see something new
Thanks for posting this video.....we're going to see Nightwish in Manchester England on 4th November. Really looking forward to seeing Floor on stage. She sounds awesome even if she did have a cold.

Floor is amazing!!! Her voice is lovely, her stage appearance is awesome... She's just amazing. ♥
15:28 Tuomas looking happier then ever realizing that they struck gold with this angel Floor... If luck has a face: this is it!
This is because the two last albums was make to Anette's voice... Floor can sing the two NIghtwish's eras... I think she is amazing and actually she is perfect to the band...
Floor Jansen is perfect for nightwish
For everyone that has still got doubts about Floor Jansen, check this video out: After Forever - She Is My Sin (Nightwish Cover 2006).
Nice to see some good quality footage
Yes we can!!!! And We should keep her!!!
Floor, you fit NW perfectly!! After Forever's still one of my favourite bands today and ReVamp rocks like hell! I love your accent (you almost sound American now hehe) and your voice is just unbelievable. I was THRILLED when I heard you replaced Anette. I'm very sad to see her go, but well, NW have to move on now. And they'll move on perfectly with you. Just hope you stay in! Don't let go of NW, please! Do not dare to leave! Hehe :)
Everyone seems so happy with Floor! :)

I was stunned by the goodness of this...!
Better times ahead I think.
Beautiful, powerful and talented Floor Jansen. Nightwish couldn't have chosen better.
For what I heard, this is the setlist (I know I skipped a few)

Floor gave me new hope for Nightwish.
Thanks for the upload!!!
Is it me or is Marko smiling way more than before?
This is SO exciting with Floor!! Are they coming to Dallas Texas by any chance? I've never seen NW live, would love to see them now with her big voice.
her command of the stage in her second gig ... insane.
there's multiple times where they ask you to take them out... especially the slower songs. go to a show and see for yourself before criticizing. Also, to the OP thanks for the footage. this proves she needs to stay in the band.
I absolutely love her! She sounds good and knows how to mosh :)
I was there; my first Nightwish concert ever! It was so surreal and amazing.
Everything comes to those who wait
Perfection takes time and now it's Perfect, Nightwish
Basically almost no prep time. Thats the mark of a true professional. She comes in knowing the words and can perform like she has always been there. Amazing. If you have not seen her Blog, she post comments on how she feels being on tour with NW and in the US.
this is amazing!!!! gad I LOVE FLOOR!!!
A rebirth to Nightwish... keep Floor FOREVER!!!!!!!!
Nothing is like her...a female storm in the metal heaven
I couldnt believe my eyes when I heard that she was going to be with them for touring. I used to like After Forever 10 years ago and I loved her voice and performance at stage.
finally the right singer for nightwish *__*
Love that new Nightwish, Love that energy, my life is perfect again....
Just came across this again, I was at the show. Great show. Floor can get it done. Just give her a chance if "they give her a chance".
To say the least: Floor is by far the most gorgeous (and tallest) of the three.
Must be seriously weird going to a concert and hearing the songs be sung in a way that they haven't been for almost 7 years... Must be awesome!
I envy whoever was on this concert, it was a great one THEY ROCKED!!!!!
FLOOR IS AMAZING FOR NIGHTWISH! I CAN´T WAITING FOR THE SHOW IN MEXICO \m/
Wow! Incredible! Nightwish crossed Anette and Tarja and the result is simply fabulous!!! Respect, Flo \m/
Dark Chest of Wonders says it all, it sounds again like it should sound. Thank you Lord!
This video put a huge grin on my face and a tear to my eye! Long live Nightwish!
+Gina Havens Oh.. She's staying.. And she's just perfect for the band
@TheWhiskeyJackie Oops, sorry for the comment without a comment! It's not only the singing, look at her presence! She is so charming and adorable!
Flooor I LOVE YOU!
Thank you friend.... there will wonderful
Finally I can listen this band again :D
Thanx for sharing, this is sooooooooooo good!
the ending sound rules!
Yes...I agree...There are same things now like they had with Tarja.She told to the band that I make only one album with you and after that I'm will start my solo career.Anette's solo album is very similar thing but there are many other things too like her health and small child...who knows...
