It is Marko. Haha. You should check out Marko singing in their High Hopes (Pink Floyd) cover. I think it’s the same concert.
It is???? That's crazy. Looks sooo different.
Their first basist, Sami Vänskä, looks pretty similar to boot. Long blond hair, just lacks the beard.
yesss, their cover of High Hopes is amazing
Oh yes please do react to high hopes! Amazing cover!
@@ChaseCarneson Is the lack of mustache probably, really changes his face. Beard shorter also.
'They both should be celebrated' Exactly, I love both singers, why cannot anyone else?
I think most can.
Because Tarjaholics pledge undying loyalty to Tarja. They get offended that other people don't prefer Tarja over every other singer. But they're especially triggered by people that love Nightwish without Tarja.
Annette on Amaranthe caught my attention, Imaginarium hooked me. Tarja in Phantom and Planet Hell reeled my in. Wacken 2013 landed me like fat Tuna.
I agree, and I haven't forgotten about Anette either. All three of them have their own qualities. Without any of them : No Nightwish.
I really do like both of them. Yes, I like the interpretations of one of them more, but that doesn't mean, I want to belittle the other one. For me it is that incredible ability of Floor, to colour up the vocals with bucket loads of emotion, that makes me prefer her.
Try Phantom of the Opera with Tarja and Marko...looks like the same concert as well!!
Yes, same show. And she's wearing that beautiful yellow dress to match the mic.
Yes it is the same show. The last show of the End of an Era Tour.
I'm always surprised at how everyone seems to want that one, when that was the main point of contention that finalized the 'yep, that's it, we're giving her the letter'. She is so in and out of time with the rest of the band in that particular concert on that piece. And you can tell how hard Marco and everyone is trying to adjust and bring it back in throughout the whole piece.
It's Nightwish, so it's not that big of a deal I guess, but for those of us with a sensitive ear it is so grinding compared to everything else they did, and have done since. Including with Tarja.
I just wish she would have kept going to rehearsals with the band. They would have kept in sync better not just on stage, but with each other.
I guess we wouldn't have discovered Floor, and she is indeed amazing and fun to listen to as well... you just miss what you grew up with. lol
@@MandrakeDCR .. out of sync with the rest of the..lol..she is utter perfection
@@xeleelex146
Afraid so. It's part of why I'm not a fan of the Tarja Era. She sounds like she's separating herself from the band. That and I just simply find her voice annoying.
So overall, Tarja sounds like someone dubbed her part into the performance.
I am so glad you did not open the can of worms by comparing the ladies. They do, all three of them, deserve there own spotlight.
Friendly comment: I´m still waiting for Anette to convince me. As an old Nightwish fan, it really hurt when they did that change, Anette was so different, so pop even.
@@bygoneegowaitingremoval As you might have noticed, for some reason my comment was marked, meaning someone already took offence by it. Although I can't seem to find an explanation for that I am trying to stay as friendly as I possibly can. Having that said : I must admit that Anette was my least favorite as well, but I do try to keep in mind that she had some very big shoes to fill and we didn't want to see Tarja leave. I wonder what would have happened if it would have been Floor after Tarja in stead of Anette. Would we still like Floor so much?
@@bygoneegowaitingremoval "Slow Love Slow" with Annette Live Montreux 2012 - she was really "getting it together"........
@@bygoneegowaitingremoval I usually wouldn't respond, but you look genuinely open to suggestions.
My recommendation is to look less at Anette's vocal techniques and more at her ability to play a character in Scaretale and Slow Love Slow. Listen to her be a folk storyteller in Turn Loose or Meadows of Heaven or even the backing vocals in The Islander.
I think next to the other two, people are looking for vocal technical ability but consider that for Tuomas' work what they really need to be able to do is take the role of a character as if it's musical theatre.
@@ari-etta it´s true that I can´t know now what my reaction would have been, but I love Floor more than Tarja not because of her voice (each of them has their own style) but because Floor delivers more perform-wise in my opinion, on stage her presence it´s more captivating than Tarja. That said, I would probably have had fewer problems with a change to Floor directly from Tarja.
This concert to me, it's as iconic to Tarja as 2013 Wacken was to Floor. They really gave it their all in this, I've heard and watched both concerts so much. You can't go wrong with any performance of theirs in this one, everything is great.
I really wish that Anette had a concert like this! :(
thats only because less good live video footage pre 2013!
Hey, Chase. Tarja is amazing, isn't she. I'm coming to appreciate and admire her more and more. She's an extremely charismatic performer and singer. At first, I was so enthralled by Floor that I didn't want to know about anyone else. But now I dig Tarja a lot. Hell, I even love Anette.
Wishmaster is a great song, performed flawlessly by the amazing Tarja, and the band, of course. PS:
Tuomas' music keeps him young.
Loved your analysis, as usual. Peace, my brother. Greetings from the 🇺🇸
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 happy 4th, be safe my friend.
@@ChaseCarneson Thanx, Chase, appreciate that. Take care. :)
I love Tarja's voice! Thank you very much ❤ Fun fact: Tarja was sick in this Concert. She had flue or something like that in her throat. Nightwish has 9 studio albuns: 5 with Tarja, 2 with Anette, and 2 with Floor. So, there is a lot of Tarja stuff for you to know, if you decide to know Nightwish's works. A lot of the old songs are sung by Floor nowadays, but in a diferent versions. Floor and Tarja are amazing, but they have diferent voices, so the band needed to do some adaptations. The music with Tarja used to explore more choirs as you noticed. The original "Ghost love score", for example, emphasized the choirs and the orchestra. It didn't have the same ending like you can watch with Floor. They are diferent versions, but equaly good. From Tarja's era I suggest any music from the concert "End of an Era" or "From wishes to eternity". To the next steps, It would be nice if you reacted to "Phantom of the Opera" and "Slaying the dreamer", both from "End of an Era". Thank you very much!
A portent of a song like they don't have anymore and that showcases Tarja's singing mastery. She does it like it's nothing and while with the flu. They were blessed to have this woman singing for them.
if i had her on my team , i would bend over even more than Tuomas did during that performance of everdream, just to meet her most basic vocal and overall health needs ... can't imagine someone as special as she, having to beg for every scrap
Tuomas is a vampire that's why he doesn't age. Emmpu is a beast no matter how small he is. That epic Maiden's The Trooper riff always got me at the end.
Now Chase, can we talk about your merch?
Something coming verrrry soon. Hang in there 😉
@@ChaseCarneson 'Have a Damn Good Day' 😁👍
Funny you mentioned Tuomas is a vampire. He does look like Gary Oldman in Dracula lol. And yessss we want Chase's Have a Damn Good Day merch!!!
@@juliettemcgee9055 I thought you were kidding about this, so I went and looked up Gary Oldman's Dracula and it took me a couple moments to tell it was Oldman.
@@fjrichman That's why they called him Human Chameleon. He had about 4 or 5 different looks in that film.
Would love to see your reaction and breakdown of song "Wish I Had An Angel" with Tarja, Marco also sings there so you get to hear younger Marco beast voice :D Also should check their "Phantom of the Opera" cover again them two singing and crushed it! Both songs are from same concert End of an Era like this one. Tarja also changed couple of dresses on this concert so it doesn't confuse you when looking at other videos :D
The early Nightwish is a very different animal to what the band is now. It's a fantastic journey to listen to all albums chronologically as it showcases the evolution the band went through (and is still going through), different influences and references appearing in their works.
this, end of era concert was the greatest show on earth...superb with its vocal energy, perfectly blending with the reverberating symphonic elements
Love the ode to Iron Maiden at the end. Little things like that is what makes Nightwish so awesome.
Wasn't expecting them to quote The Trooper
Amazing reaction! Thank you so much Chase!
Tarja Turunen was the original Nightwish vocalist for almost a decade, defining a big part of their sound with her classically infused vocal techniques which combined perfectly with Nightwish's inicial power metal and later symphonic metal sound, and also with Marco's vocals - it was a perfect match in every way!
The great thing is that Tarja has been having an amazing solo career in the last 15 years... Her voice is high, but also a full and really powerfull sound (and she always keeps on experimenting new things with her vocals, including a haunting dark and lower register she can belt out), plus having this theatrical presence on stage... I'm so glad you liked it!
As a sugestion, I'll leave you 2 links for some Amazing Live performances by Tarja Turunen in recent years:
1st - A very energetic Live version of "Victim of Ritual" (song composed by Tarja)... the crowd really goes wild at this one - from Woodstock festival: th-cam.com/video/GxDnhbGTJSs/w-d-xo.html
2nd - An unbeliavable version of "Supremacy" (a Muse cover) Live at Hellfest festival - very powerfull high notes: th-cam.com/video/wmMBI_0X3oE/w-d-xo.html
I hope you enjoy these ones as much as I do! Cheers!
that goes quadriple, for me
Awesome choices. Her chest voice is darker than most male metal singers... what a treat.
Great video! Listen to “The Siren” and “Walking in the air” with Tarja (life of course). They are really good as well. (Also not comparing the singers is a great idea, things could get really heated. Everyone has their favourite singer but every singer added to the legacy of Nightwish.)
No arguments about Tarja from me, she did a great job defining nightwish as the best symphonic metal band, all 3 singers deserve kudos for keeping nightwish at the top. Yep that was Marco. So thankyou Chase for this one see you in the next one.
To answer your question about roster changes: They booted their first bassist, Sami, somewhere in between the "From Wishes to Eternity" live recording and the Century Child album, which was when Marco joined the band.
Then, of course, they kicked out Tarja after the aptly named "End of an Era" live recording. She was replaced by Anette Olzon, who received a mixed reception from the fans. A big plus side was that you could for once clearly understand the lyrics, a big negative was that all the operatic elements were gone. After some complications during the Imaginaerum tour, Nightwish had to rush in Floor as a stand-in for Anette. Soon after, Floor became the new vocalist and Troy was added as a permanent member of the band. Since Jukka, the drummer's insomnia kept getting worse, Kai stood in for him, some years later the decision was made for Jukka to permanently quit drumming and become a manager for the band instead.
To be fair, you can understand the lyrics in this version much better than in the album version :)
call me crazy, but I miss Jukka more than Tarja. Kai is crazy good, but Jukka... just had that presence and style. Ah well, his health for sure comes first!
Well, the 'End of an Era' was named after Tarja was expelled. So it was aptly named of course knowing her era was over, no prescience there :)
Anette was sacked because she was pregnant
@@bishopsteiner7134 Kai is a great drummer, but I don't necessarily think he's a great drummer for Nightwish. Jukka brought a great deal of energy to the songs that just seems lacking with Kai. Kai also has some head scratchingly bad drum choices, like the toms he uses for the intro to Ghost Love Score that sound like somebody bouncing a basketball in an empty gymnasium.
That's Marko 'the two-bearded Viking' Hietala 😂
Tarja's legacy with NW will never be forgotten. I came to appreciate her solo projects, especially one with Mike Terrana for Beauty & the Beat. I would love to see her do more crossover projects as her mystical, dark soprano would fit the neoclassical dark wave, avant garde or classical crossover genre, maybe collab with HAVASI or Yoshiki X-Japan.
Search for Stand Away, her Collab with Angra.
Her Soprano with Lione's Tenor, simply beautiful.
Love from The Philippines! Yes the Legendary Tarja Turunen the Mother of Operatic Metal.
her doing phantom of the opera with nightwish is still one of my favorite songs ever.
this was Tarjas last concert with Nightwish (Hartwall Areena, Helsinki, October 2005)
Both Tarja and Floor are some of the best singers I have heard in my life, many my friends who fdont even listen metal normally still listen Nightwish, quality of their Live performances and overall music is just insane
Look floor is good but tarja is brutal ,powerful, the two more iconics songs are the phantom of the opera and wish master and tarja’s are espectacular !!! Out of this world , full of emotions , connections with the people , on the contrary to floor Jansen , she is a simple metal singer . Tarja is the goddess
Tarja's personality, character and incredible stage presence are far better displayed in her early power metal days with far clearer, more mezzo, reverberating, freely flowing timbre, anything "from wishes to eternity " concert is great , "pharaoh sails to orion" is superb
Tarja's astounding breath control comes from her 7 years of pro operatic training and countless efforts to adjust the strict practice to the metal setting...her early delivery was very dark, beautiful, reverberating mezzo voice that is so amazing
Well said!
@@ChaseCarneson .. much obliged for your kind words...if you'd like to hear a simple of her mezzo voice try this....th-cam.com/video/6Acl6I8km3w/w-d-xo.html ... th-cam.com/video/q-VemLTvnE8/w-d-xo.html .... be careful, though, she is quite addictive
Great reaction. Some other great songs with Tarja you should react to are The Siren, Planet Hell, Slaying the Dreamer, Sleeping sun, Dark Chest of Wonders.
Hamster, a Dentist, Hardp0rn, Steven Seagull, Warrior, His rifle, In me, The Fishmaster ;)
Maiden elf calling with her cunning soap!
😂 once you've heard the missheard lyrics this song is never the same again.
"Temba, his arms wide"
"Staring into the Nile" Thx Keven
Well great, Steve Segall is gonna haunt this song forever. You've made my day man!
This song actually has a very special and influential place in the band's history, as the song that unintentionally brought many fans into the fandom.
Way back in the early days of TH-cam, an era of Linkin Park AMVs and dubious copyright controls, there was a misheard-lyrics video someone made called "Fishmaster" that you'll find many people quoting down in these comments. It was goofy and shareable, and left many thinking "lol what's this ridiculous foreign metal band doing trying to sing English"... but enough people (myself included) were intrigued by the cool music and looked for more Nightwish content.
You gotta understand, this was before labels like Nuclear Blast etc. had uploaded all their bands' music videos online at all, and literally the only way for most non-Europeans to be exposed to symphonic metal and such was to have it shared with them directly. Quite a few members of the Nightwish Army were initially roped in by Fishmaster/Wishmaster, and every time I hear it I get a nice wave of nostalgia. :-)
"Hamster... a dentist... hard porn, Steven Seagull..."
Obviously captain Jack Sparrow managed to find the fountain of youth. Now he plays for Nightwish.
He just traded the pirate hat for a top hat
Everyone seems to be praising the performances from the the End of an Era live show, but I prefer the From Wishes to Eternity concert. The whole vibe of that performance is just incredibly nostalgic for me and I think Tarja sounds much better there. Some of the standouts are Elvenpath, Dead Boy's Poem, Sacrament of Wilderness and Beauty & the Beast. I also prefer the performance of Wishmaster from that concert to this one.
I loooove the From Wishes to Eternity concert. Dead Boy's Poem, Swanheart, Walking in the Air....ah man, such a good show!
and the definitive power-metal sound with all of its wonderful complexities and of course, Tarja's magnificent timbre
more mezzo and raw power
I... had forgotten how fun this song is! 👀
One of the best tarja song is "sleeping sun" . Super melodic
amen to that
the original though, not the re-recorded version with more contemporary vocals.
Yes it's so beautiful. I don't know which one is better Tarja's or Floor's version. Both are different but great.
Sleeping Sun, Away, Two for Tragedy, Dead Boy's Poem... I love the old, slower Nightwish songs
Chase!..,Nightwish's initial signature sound was one of very complex power metal format with Tarja's much lower register, performing incredible operatic gymnastics and physical ones..."from wishes to eternity"concert is a perfect example of that
This song makes me so happy! Terrific analysis as always. I love the different vibes, so fun and interesting.
The first time I've ever heard a song with Tarja. She has an amazing voice, for sure. It's like trying a "special food" for the first time...once you've tried it and loved it, you're always looking for the same thing elsewhere at different places. It's like that for me with Floor. When I first listened to Nightwish, she was the singer. She's my favorite although I do appreciate Tarja's talent!

my friend, if you like this performance ( and she was going against doctor's orders having a throat infection and fever that night to avoid disappointing her fans), you must see her exquisite renderings in the "from wishes to eternity" concert, summerbreeze 2002, raumenmeri 2003, toronto, 2004, lowlands 2005 concerts to fully appreciate her enormous variety of vocal flavors
My heart has room for all the diamond humans of the world and I want all of them. I refuse to choose. 🙏
Walking in the air is THE Tarja song, together with Phantom of the opera, dead boys poem and sleeping sun ( and everdream tbh)
All the singers have fantastic qualities, I love all of them! And this is the song that introduced me to Nightwish, thank you for a great reaction! And yes, that's Marko :)
That is Marko...the younger version. Tuomas definitely has a Dorian Gray thing going on. Tarja sings on that operatic style pretty much all the time.
Came here to say that, this is 15 years old after all! 👍
Is all those babies his eating (Im joking)
Tarja has been adopting a contemporary style lately.
"Tarja sings on that operatic style pretty much all the time." And it sounds fucking *awesome*.
Well, her singing in that operatic style is what set this band apart from every metal band at that time. They were pretty much unique and this style put this band in the map too.
Marco joined to Nightwish in 2002 and his first appearance in official NW video was in "Bless the Child". He played in this concert as well at the of 39 years old (born in 1966).
It's been awhile since I saw a Tarja-era live video. They all look like toddlers!
Great reaction, as usual.
toddlers? Nah, look at From Wishes to Eternity... THEN you see toddlers.
@@naphackDT These are toddlers, *those* are infants
"Whenever will I not be impressed by this man?" Assuming you mean Tuomas the answer is easy: never.
@Phelan that in it self can leave an impression... impressed by itself is neutral :)
I love many of the songs from this concert, but one I’ve never seen a reaction to and LOVE, is THE SIREN.
You gotta do more tarja videos.
Great reaction! They all should be celebrate, dont forget Anette, she is wonderful as well, more poppy, but great. That entire show is, to me, at the level of Wacken 13. It was Tarja Last show, the open letter came after wards. You can see the sadness in the rest of the band members in the last song, I Wish I Had An Angel. Keep UP the Good work. And that was Marko, although they had another bassist.
Anette sounded live like a chipmunk.
If you want to see how much fun they have on stage: Watch Empuu pranking Floor onstage watch Wacken 2013 I Want My Tears Back. At about 45 secs you can see Empuu talking to Troy telling him what he is going to do. At about 4:00 you see Empuu go behind Floor and turn down the volume or turn off her in-ear monitor. Then she reaches behind her. The funniest part is at about 4:30 when Empuu crosses the stage again. Floor turns around to watch him so he can’t do it again. Here you see the height difference between Floor’s 6’1” in heels and Empuu’s 5’3”. They laugh at each other.
If you than have a look at Ghostriver from Wacken you’ll see Emppu passing Floor with his hands up and waving: See, I am doing nothing ;-)
I just went to that video to see it, and I cannot stop laughing
You are one of those great people who helped to make 2020 actually in a way to quite a awesome year. I know how controversial that statement is but I learned to know a lot of content makers who gave me a lot of knowledge. I hope you are doing well Chase but if for any reason you aren't I wish it makes your day better to know that these videos make mine a whole lot better.
Stay awesome buddy you are amazing.
My personnal old-school Tarja top songs are Deep Silent Complete and Wanderlust. :)
She was also sick extremely during this show! That's why she's really breathy but still was outstanding
This is the first reaction channel I’ve ever subbed. Can’t wait for you to do the greatest show on earth. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for supporting and welcome to the team.
Aaah, just like the good old days. Hamster! Appendix! Hard corn! Seven Seagulls! Warrior! This rifle in me, the fish master!
This was the first Nightwish song I heard years ago, after someone mentioned the name and I went exploring. I was instantly hooked by the opening of this song, the massive chordal, almost gothic opening. Still a favorite after all these years!
Thx 4 the reaction!
Oh man, i was in my teens back then... I had the biggest crush on Tarja... understandable isn't it? She has such a great presence on stage.
And now in my thirties me and my wife have a huge crush on Floor. Both are great and have a very large and permanent place in my heart. Nightwish is simply a part of the soundtrack of my life.
More Tarja with Nightwish. I recommend Slaying the dreamer, The phantom of the opera, Planet hell, The siren, Sleeping sun from the concert End of an era, The Pharion sails to orion, Swanheart, Walking in the air, Fantasmic, Beauty and the beast from the concert From Wishes to enternity, End of all hope from Summer Breeze festival 2002 and Supremacy from Woodstock festival 2016, Crimson deep from the concert Act I (Tarja's solo work)👍👍👍
End of an Era Planet Hell Live !!
This was the ROCK you were looking for!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, they did have another Bassist, Sami Vanska, but that is Marco. (If you want to see Sami in action, you can watch this same song from the "From Wishes to Eternity" (2001) which is from before Sami was dismissed for being a fuckup.)
Tarja and Floor are both phenomenal singers. It's so hard to compare the two. But with all the shit that happened with Nightwish and Tarja, Floor is absolutely perfect for Nightwish, my god! ❤
Awesome! They all look so young & Tarja is gorgeous:) her version of Nemo is killer, really suits her darker tone. Go Manchester United:0
I love her!!!
its marco! he does look super young here though XD
Goodness me!!!
@Jess W 😂😂😂
even though he was 39 xD he's 54 now
If you look hard enough, there are videos on YT of Marco WITHOUT THE BEARD. As in: before he started growing it out.
And it's just wrong x)
If you didn't recognised Marco in this one , don't even try to look up a video of him with his band Tarot from the 80s
It was very mature reaction on how you see the Nightwish singer past and present. Come to Toumas, without taking away his gifted talent in composing, I rather disappointed when comes to his mannerism in firing Tarja right after this awesome concert. His (including other members) character assassination of Tarja is still affecting how some Nightwish fans see Tarja and dismiss her contribution to the early Nightwish. Anyway, "10th man down" from Summer Breeze Festival 2002 is also very impressive of Tarja's performance.
so true..most people read Tuomas's letter and immediately brand Tarja as a greedy diva when in fact nothing is further from the truth...
actually, this symphonic sound was their 3rd..Tuomas formed Nightwish with Emppu and Tarja to best showcase her magnificent classical mezzo delivery featured most effectively by the "from wishes to eternity" concert, then graduated to more pure metal sound in "summerbreeze 2002" concert and then finally this concert of a much more symphonic metal nature..Ghost Love Score from this concert is a prime example
Chase , great analysis...thank you for the gift of Tarja...her perfection speaks for itself...for a true vocal banquet check out "from wishes to eternity" concert
@ChaseCarneson like you, I am new to this wonderful world of Nightwish. I grew up a RUSH fan and am used to cerebral lyrics and masterful musicians, but I am blown away by the talents of this group. It is awesome to see someone who has a your background display an almost giddiness for the band. I know the feeling.
I do see some really common denominators and would love to hear more from you on this. First is Tuomas. His passion and pure genius to architect an epic sound whether it is a 4 minute or 20 minute song is almost hard to put into words. Second is Marko. I have seen Marko collaborate with Delain (Charlotte W), Exit Eden, Northern Kings, Anneke Van Giersbergen and the man just makes everyone better. I hate saying he is complementary because he has no issues by himself.
I saw you with Julia react to While Your Lips are Still Red and loved the amount of info and insight that you bring. Please keep up the great and it is great to meet another member of the Nightwish Army (Frisco, TX, USA).
Many dont know Nightwish was formed by Tuomas, Tarja and Emppu in highschool 1996! There is some old videos to be found from those days on TH-cam ;-)
Did you catch the ending musical shout out to Iron Maiden's "The Trooper". Great reaction and analysis to this one. That was Marco! He joined Nightwish in 2003. This video was from 2005. See you next time. Great job Chase!
YEah, Chase, do you listen to Iron Maiden? If not, then we can think of some songs for you to react. I´m sure you have heard some, but if you don´t know them well, then we have homework for you hehe. Keep the good videos.
i heard this right away and was like "nice iron maiden nod!" :D
Indeed.. I don't think he noticed, or he doesn't know the song
Hahaha yeeees, I never heared this live, they got me xD
At some point you need to watch this entire show. It's fantastic !!
actually, Chase, you should know that for the first 6 years of their existence, their signature sound was one of power metal type, found in "from wishes to eternity", than it transitioned into a more mainstream metal such as "summerbreeze fest. of 2002 and Raumenmari 2003" and then by their last tour, it became symphonic in nature, with Tarja using chiefly , her superb head voice
Joy in all hearts! So much smiles in this videos!
I love every singer Nightwish has had pretty much equally, but there are certain songs that each singer absolutely made their own, and Wishmaster is one for Tarja. She stamped a permanent mark on this one.
Usually it should be Phantom of The Opera but that concert was a masterpiece, any song was a good choice.
Tarja!!!! 😍😍😍
indeed
Would be great if you also did the Phantom of the Opera from the same concert - it’s unforgettable and Marco’s vocals - not to mention Tarja’s - are amazing. And then looking fwd to your jaw dropping moments with The Greatest Show on Earth - it’s a masterpiece 😃
Marco he is of course...as he has been since Century Child album - awesome bass player and male vocalist. Tarja's impact is not less than fundamental to the sound and voice of Nightwish. She founded this band with Tuomas and Emppu. They made it great, special and world famous on five albums together as that group. Later came replacement singers to copy the sound, adopt already created basics and to modify it for themselves to fit better.
now their is Anette Olzon missing she was the singer between tarja and floor (2007-2012) I kinda think it's sad that she is kinda forgotten because I really think she is an amaziing singer aswell as Tarja and Floor
This concert was 2005 so they are quite young here. Tarjas last concert with Nightwish, what happen after this ended up as the great song The Poet And The Pendulum. This was Marko he joined the band a few years before this, or was it 2000! Check out Sleeping Sun from this concert or just everything, it's amazing.
Marco joined in 2002
Oh, and if you ever want to check some of Tarja's solo stuff, check out 'I walk Alone'
Tarja is TRULY ONE OF A KIND, who is like from a MYSTICAL ENCHANTED WORLD, with an absolute BEAUTIFUL🌹💗 HAUNTING UNIQUE VOICE!!!! WOW!!!!😮😮😮😀👍👍👍👍👍
The end of the song sounds like the beginning of the Trooper from Iron Maiden
Can we also just appreciate that the closing is the opening notes of The Trooper by Iron Maiden? Super cool. First this, then Metallica in The Greatest Show on Earth? Love it. Gotta love nods to other musicians.
Tarja is the Finnish CrazyLady we all love! 😂
Big fan of this song...and yeah it is Marko 😁
I love the intro but after they are off....ow boy 🤪 Tarja is really delivering this song imo...
A nice touch the color of the mic 💪
Thanks Chase lovely and Good reaction...always a pleasure 🤘
Tarjas last concert whit NW. .. (Phantom) and Marko in Pink Floyd cover "High Hopes" !!
Amazing reaction and analysis as always :) I do really enjoy your videos!
If you want to check out their second singer, Anette, I honestly recommend album versions instead of live performances. Her album stuff is much better. Meadows of Heaven would be a cool reaction to see. If you want to see Tarja and Marko singing together, Phantom of the Opera is great.
Every time I'm listening to Wishmaster and the song ends "WOOOOOOOOO!!!, LET'S GO!!" gets me so hyped!
Thanks for the reaction, I love the bass lines during this song, so fast and following the drums beats. Incredible work by all the band here.
Sleeping Sun with Tarja next pleaseeeee!!!!! ❤️
If you are interested in the old nightwish version check out their from wishes to eternity DVD (all songs are here in TH-cam). Terrific performance of the original line-up. End of an era is also good, but with a different bassist (Marko, and Tarja was sick during this performance, including this wish master version)
Wishmaster is one of THE songs of Tarja and it was one of their main songs, hits if you wanna call it like that, back in the early 2000s.
You should do more Nightwish with Tarja. Phantom of the Opera (with lots of Marco), The Kinslayer, Planet Hell, etc. All from End of an Era concert.
Ironically, this is from the End of an Era DVD. This was the night the band gave the letter to Tarja, letting go.
That guitar and base runoff at the end was from The Trooper by Iron Maiden. Just part of how they give tribute to other legends.
If you have the interest, you can watch Nightwish’s last show with Tarja in the band by buying their “End Of An Era” dvd or Blu-ray. (Yes, that’s Marko on bass) But don’t forget that there is still one singer between the founding Tarja and the Floor of the present. Their second singer was named Annette. Look her up. Both of those earlier singers are an important part of the path that Nightwish is on and both are represented on Nightwish albums.
Emmpu is the kinda guy that if he were half a meter taller and played basketball, he'd be playing hard defense, grabbing rebounds, setting screens for his teammates, passing the ball around and occasionally taking a few shots himself. The ultimate team player, no ego detected. I'm not sure how many people here care for basketball, but that's just the analogy that came to mind :p
Also, that's peak beard-phase for Marko, I just love it.
You should look up a song by both singers and compare how these two each handle notes differently, and maybe Annette too? Not better or worse, but different. I'd suggest Everdream for that purpose!

SACRAMENT OF WILDERNESS with Tarja on Vocals!
Tarja loved to color coordinate her mics to her outfits, haha. And yes, that totally was younger Marko
Tarja is dynamic! 🙏
The Tarja/Floor discussion is identical to the David Lee Roth/Sammy Hagar discussion. Different sounds/characteristics in regards to the band and where the total package went.
Awesome review I think you might be ready for the Greatest Show On Earth live at Tampere looking forward to it subscribed after watching this one.
One of my fav End of an Era track is Planet Hell.
