About Floor's hair blowing in the wind.... You could say she has a floor fan down there, but you'd be wrong. She actually has 82,000 Floor fans down there! BWAHAHAHAHA! ;)

This was 14 out of 15 in setlist. You want Marco. My suggestion is nightwish version of Pink Floyd's High Hopes. Even David G. said it's the best version he has ever heard. Even the lighting guys pay homage to Pink Floyd if you pay attention. Then you want more Marco there's Kiss While Your Lips are Still Red and The Islander(Marco has a t shirt the reads "Floor is MY backup singer")😄
"Sometimes the within is piano black..." Such a great song.

Marko plats bass, and he have a great voice. He have three songs where he's solo/lead. High hopes (Pink Floyd cover, even David Gilmour shared it on his Twitter) The Islander where Marko wrote the music and Tuomas wrote the lyrics, and Kiss while your lips are still red, another Marko and Tuomas number written for the Finnish movie "Lieksa!"

And “Endlessness” when they get to the new album ;)
This song is based on the poem Song of Myself by Walt Whitman from his Leaves of Grass volume. He would probably be surprised. Tuomas calls him Uncle Walt.
Like everyone else has said on here, Marco singing "The Islander" is a great listen and I prefer the live at Tampere version where it is just him out in the middle of the audience. Plus you can also watch "Greatest Show on Earth" from the same concert. There is also another song that not many will recommend but it was a popular song and that's "Bye Bye Beautiful" with Annette instead of Floor.

Well, now there is also Endlessness.
Guys, you've picked a killer one here. Definitely one of my favourites. On the album it's 13 minutes short. Just a beautiful song. Marko and Floor singing together is just out of this world P.S. I want to see the headphones go flying🤣🤣🤣 Marko does some really good songs. The Islander is a great folk song that Marko does. Definitely worth a listen to. Maybe some tissues might be an idea.😪😪😪
You really want to hear The Beautifullness of Floors voice check out Hows The Heart The Acoustic Versión and Dead Boys Poem live at Buenos Aires. Cmon NightWish army back me up
The Nightwish Army doesn't get tired. More please! lol
I LOVE the intricacies of the music in the background. Playful, adding power, tension, or release. Tuomas is a genius. Then add these exceptional musicians and Floor - its amazing.
One of my favourites, such a great song and you can’t not love Floor looking like she sets off Pyros out of her hands near the end of the song 😁
And another good reaction from Mike and Ginder.
Wanna hear some more Marko? Ever Dream! Pronto! :)
...if you like Marco singing, check out him singing cover of "High hopes" with NW, or him with his old band Tarot with song "Tides" 🤗
I never tire of Nightwish. I listen to them every day! Keep going there's so much more still to discover!

Loved it, dont know if you know but at this point Floor wasn't even an official member of the band, she was a stand in for former singer Anette Olson who left in 2012, when Floor was offered the spot she was asked to learn the set list in 48 hours, there is a full documentary about it actually called "Please learn the set list in 48 hours". Of course she is officially a member now and still with them, but back at Wacken, she was officially a stand-in only. For more Marco try "The Islander" from Tampere in Finland, or "High Hopes" which is a Pink Floyd cover Marco sings on the End of an Era DVD. Keep up the great work guys, loving joining your Journey through music I know so well :)
We're the Nightwish Army, you could rewatch the same songs and we would still watch it with you. We never get tired of it! Keep up these amazing videos!
Waken 2013 is one of their best concerts
Wonderful reaction guys. I'm not sure what you've covered already but one beautiful song that isn't reacted to as much as it should be is 'Dead Boy's Poem' live in Buenos Aires - I just know you'll both love it!

Great reaction guys. If you want to check out Marko being showcased check out the Islander or High Hopes (it's an amazing Pink Floyd cover). Also I think you would enjoy his parts in Everdream from the same Wacken concert.
if it is a decent recording, Nightwish is always at the very least , very good. A lot of it is Greatness personified. And, as so many others mentioned, this really brings home how much Ann is missed by the Nightwish faithful. This was her favorite, and I think of her every time I hear it.
Only in this concert there was a major costume change; normally she gets by with just taking off or putting on a jacket or a cape. Ummm... how about something from a concert two years later? With Floor having acquired tattoos, thigh-high boots and a bit of a warrior queen persona: 7 Days to the Wolves kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqqnyNl6gMW9iMY.html
My favorite NW/Floor song. Great reaction. First verse- The Nightingale is still locked in the cage. My last name is Nightingale. :)
I love the contrast between her silky smooth voice and the heavy chugging of the band in that breakdown
The album version is longer with more spoken prose at the end. Worth a listen even if not a reaction. Headphones going flying is perfectly acceptable!!!! I love "piano black" - I used to have a black piano.
Floor is phenomenal
I am watching this concert while at lunch at work
Sleeping Sun from Tampere Shudder before the beautiful from Wembley or Ever Dream from Wacken is all great ones.
Well what a great lunch break (New Zealand lunch time) Just watched a Ghost River reaction (another reactor) then this popped up, Song of Myself is another of my Favorites reacted by a great team. Waiting for the Poet and the Pendulum reaction to get done :D Tuomas's thoughts and theoretical actions after the split with the first lead singer.. Yeah I know it will be on the list Ohh and put a note on "I want my tears back" do Live @ Buenos Aries 2018, the crowd is insanely hyped and that was over halfway through the show! :D
when a new machine gun is built, the manufacturers seek out jukka and adjust the rate of fire. his double base counts :) Greetings from Germany: Nightwish Army
My favourite Marco vocal is Kiss while your lips are still red live at Wembley it has a wonderful snowy backdrop Its a gorgeous slow song with Troy on guitar with an ebow and of course Floor on back up vocals it's just perfection. And thank you guys for another awesome reaction can't wait for the next one.

You've already got my list... ;-) Seriously, just keep working your way through them: there just isn't a mis-step to be made. If you want a Marco lead song, then the top options are: The Islander (Tampere 2015) Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red (Wembley 2015) High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) Phantom Of The Opera (OFFICIAL LIVE) - with Tarja, Nightwish's first singer Marco always says he loves singing with Floor because he can go full-belt with no fear of drowning her out. :-)

You guys are so Canadian - I love it. Mike exudes this kind of dignified (mostly) calmness that reminds me of the late Neil Peart and Ginger is just sweet-hot. Now that I've buttered you up, I think you would really appreciate the Nightwish cover of the song High Hopes originally by Pink Floyd. Marko sing the entire song; Tarja is off the stage for an outfit change or something. Performance is from their last show with Tarja in 2005 in Helsinki.

Thank you for your reaction and I am enjoying your continuing journey of discovering Nightwish gems. I fully agree with the recommendations for "The Islander" at Tampere, as well as "Romanticide". Both are awesome.
I bet you'd appreciate the album version ending of this song, it has some poetic reading to some very fitting music.
Thanks! This is probably my favorite live performance! It's topped, in my mind, only by "Pan" from their newest album. That one hasn't yet been performed live but there's a really good lyric video and the piece is stunning.
You do not feel like watching a goddess, you ARE watching a goddess!
We will never get tired of this. A few dozen to go.
Once again a fantastic reaction guys. Floor is married to the drummer from the group Sabaton and has a daughter, cannot wait for her to grow up. If you want to try something a little different please try a reaction to Sabaton Bismark.
Thanks for the reaction, Floor is a goddess of course :) Marco has a great voice and there's some great tracks where he sings. And then you go further down the Nightwish rabbit hole :) High Hopes from end of an era live, The Islander from Tampere two great tracks. Stay safe and keep reacting.
Yes!!! "The Islander". Also, one rarely viewed, though I don't know why personally....."While Your Lips Are Still Red". :)
Great reaction. If you like Marco taking the lead try The islander live at Tampere or High Hopes live from End of an Era. Yes it is a Pink Floyd cover done the Nightwish way. Also know you liked Floors Phantom of the Opera but the Original singer Tarja sings it live with Marco during the End of the Era show.
Both Floor and Marco have such great voices and versatility within them, the best thing about the pair of them is the way they can combine and dance their voices around one another. Proof that for Nightwish 1+1=3
Guess you haven't done "Romanticide" or "Ghost River" yet.

I see the Army suggesting "The Islander" (live at Tampere!) or "Kiss while your lips are still red" or Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" tribute... All of them are absolutely A-MA-ZING songs with Marko at his best and I recommend all of them. THAT SAID, judging from Ginger's reaction, I suggest to listen to "Ever Dream" BEFORE THOSE: Marko does "just" harmonies there but his back & forth with Floor is something magical. Plus, it's a really beautiful love song... you know what I mean, you lovey-dovey?😉

A lot of people suggesting The Islander for a better view of Marco, and it is a really good one, but I'd also like to suggest While Your Lips Are Still Red, live at Wembley. It's also such a gem and far less often reacted to.
I really love this song. It has some element's of Metallica's music... especially their song titled "One." But...damn has Floor got some range or what!! Those lower tones are like Ginger said....." Like butter!" My problem is, I want every song to be 10 minutes or more!!! 😂😂😂
I'm really enjoying your Nightwish journey, because it's obvious that you're enjoying it too. "Wish I Had An Angel", "Ever Dream", "Romanticide", "Ghost River" and "I Want My Tears Back" (all from Wacken 2013) all feature Marco and Floor singing together. "Ever Dream" is my favorite from the show, in that it has everything that makes Nightwish great in one beautiful song. (MAKE AMERICA NIGHTWISH)
