Marco's Islander at Tampere is my favorite Nightwish moment ever!

Floor actually had neck problems back when she was with After Forever. She went to a orthopedic doctor and chiropractor. The chiropractor got her going again and made sure she changed it sightly to ensure she wouldn't hurt it again. BTW, they do have an orchestra (the London Philharmonic and a choir singing with them on the albums and Tuomas runs side tracks of the orchestra and choir at the concerts. That's why they call it Symphonic Metal.

Ever Dream, also from the amazing Wacken 2013, makes a nice Storytime companion. Also, Alpenglow live in 2015 "just makes you feel great" (to quote a 6 foot tall vocal beast).

And next up: "I want my tears back" Buenos Aires 2018. Just a happy little number.

This is perhaps their most "radio friendly" song, and I really think everyone and I mean EVERYONE in North America should be requesting this on their local rock radio stations. THIS version! Let's create a real buzz and build the Army so big that when Nightwish comes here to play again, they will be able to fill arenas instead of smaller venues. Come on people! JUST DO IT!

As an American fan who's seen Nightwish live here in the US, I can say they have a bigger base here than many other great bands from across the pond, but still nowhere near where it should be.

One of the things that makes Nightwish so special is their ability to seamlessly combine so many genres into one cohesive sound. Everything from classical, operatic, folk, and celtic, to hard rock, prog and more are included. Then add in the fantastic backing tracks, Tuomas's incredible melodies, and Floors unrivaled ability to interpret the stories....it's really special!!

Sweet! So many great Nightwish performances ahead for you both! Great reaction, thank you for taking this journey with all of us! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻

Nightwish - I want my tears back live in Buenos Aires! Devil & the deep dark ocean live in Buenos Aires! Everdream live at Wacken! The Islander live in Tampere!

If you haven't listened to "Song of Myself" from the same concert (Wacken 2013) it's well worth a listen. Another of my favorites is "Pan" from their newest album Human || Nature. Unfortunately it hasn't been performed live yet, but there is a wonderful lyric video.

The bullshead is the logo of the Wacken Open Air festival (W.O.A.). The fire starts at 9:30pm (or maybe 10pm? Hmm.. not sure about the exact time).

Next Dead boy's poem or Ever dream.

Just swinging by for a little story.....it's definitely Storytime. Everyone goes through the Wacken Vacken phase🤣🤣 Better get yourself a bigger Spotify list, there Ginger. So many good ones to come

This is such a feel good song. Soaring above the clouds. This was one of their singles from the CD "Imaginaerum".

Great reaction! Same with me- first listens rarely endear a song for me, but this was one for me as well! Nightwish will tour North America in 2021 but only a few select days in the US, I believe. In the past, they have had more extensive world tours, including many parts of North America.

Thanks for the Storytime review -- we all knew you would love it! Most important point on your website, though, thank you very, very, much for being people who have the patience to read all of the commentators and try and respond to as many as possible. There are other commentators (I won't mention any names) that I can check back a week or so after they post a video, and see that they have not bothered to read ANY of the comments, not even one, even on e.g. Nightwish reviews. They're just interested in trying to rack up as many "views" as possible. So thanks again for that! You're wonderful (and typically Canadian)!

Ever Dream is the natural follow-on. It is actually before Storytime on the setlist. Watch for the key change - and HOLD ONTO YOUR HAT! Storytime to me is Nightwish distilled into one song. And you're very appropriately attired, Ginger my dear! ❤️

They played the Vancouver Orpheum Theatre in 2016, I discovered Nightwish a couple of years ago and now can't stop listening to them. I too am a great fan of Michael Oldfield. Check out Oldfield's video on the making of the theme for Blue Peter a older British TV kids show.

Wonderful,, Thanks much... Outstanding band, outstanding reaction...

Great reaction guys and you are only touching the tip of the iceberg, trust me ive listened to them for 21 years you are in for one hell of a ride :) oh by the way they do play Canada, they played in 2018 at Massey Hall in Toronto. They were due to play this year in Canada on September 8 - Toronto - Meridian Hall, but all the tour dates have been put back until 2021 now due to Coronavirus, I had tickets to see them this December here in the UK - twice! And those dates have been moved to next May now so I can only assume the Canada date will be too! Maybe a member of the Nightwish Army in Canada has a better insight there :) Keep up the great work.

Found nightwish earlier this year. And at this point I have almost every one of their songs in my Spotify. Especially the live versions with Floor. They're addicting and so are you two. I look forward to all your videos.

The feeling is mutual guys! Love it, great reaction thanks!

Floor: Exists Everybody (including me): Yeah, there’s the magic!

They have their 2021 tour on the nightwish KZread channel. GREAT reaction l always enjoy this song .

Great to meet you guys and this is my favourite Nightwish tune!, I would also recommend Romanticide from the same Wacken 2013 concert. Cheers

4:59, the guy in the hat......EPIC!

M & G....Nice react, thank you. They were supposed to play Toronto a month ago after NY and before the concert I had tickets for in LA. Next year Oct. 1 & 2 in LA and Oct. in NY only.

Actually that concert is on DVD. It's REALLY good! This is my favorite Nightwish song with Floor. I still love Tarja, and "Nemo" live is AMAZING, same with "Sleeping Sun".

Love watching someone listen to nightwish first time. Romanticide will be a good choice.

Nightwish do it all..from floods of tears, to full on boogie fun! What's more they do all that better than anyone else. Loving your journey...there aren't any weak Nightwish songs (except "weak fantasy" - that's brilliant)

I enjoy your reaction and analysis of the performance, well done!

FYI: Nightwish's fabulous tech crew has gotten in on the act! A bunch of them got together and made their own 5 song record, of their own versions of Nightwish songs. Look up Crewish. Good stuff! By the way, Nightwish HAS been to Toronto. They were going to start the Human I:I Nature tour there.

Love your reactions! Ginger, you described this one as a "straight up, kick ass piece of music" and I agree 100%. If you want to hear another similar "kick ass piece of music" you must react to "Romanticide" from the Wacken 2013 set, which IMHO is even more an example of straight up metal rock, Nightwish style. I think you will like it. A lot.

Haha I love this track as well. There’s so many good ones though and you’ll love them. Welcome to the Nightwish Army.

They normally do shows in Vacouver, Toronto and Montreal when they tour North America. Due to covid, things are probably delayed until 2022 as their european and other tours all got delayed as well. They are doing 4 shows select shows in the US next year.

"Nemo" live with Tarja is great too because you can see how she works an audience. If you could please!

thanks guys!!

I've watched a lot of contemporary music videos these last 6 months or so (I find I have a lot of time on my hands) and I've come to the conclusion that Floor is the finest female vocalist on the planet. I'm not basing that simply on her Nightwish work; you've seen some of her other stuff so you know she's amazing. And I'm really not just a Nightwish fanboy either. I like they're performances a lot more than just listening to their music; very theatrical. And by the way, based on his more intricate compositions, I also think Tuomas is a musical genius! Metal Mozart indeed!

Symphonic Metal allows them to take their music in several different directions.. They have the long, epic, multipart full production style songs.. They have several of the more classic thrash heavy metal style songs and, like this one, just about everything in between.. They also have songs with a bit of a Celtic folk rock vibe as well.. But, no matter what the style, all the songs have those signature symphonic elements that make the music so rich and full every time.. Take your choice, the Nightwish Army loves it all..

Every song from this show is a winner 😀

I just love Jukkas drumming, to bad he had to quit. He went on a hiatus in 2014 due to health issues, he had chronic insomnia. He suggested that his friend Kai Hatho (Wintersun) took his place while he was recouping. In 2019 Jukka decided that even though he was a lot better he wasn't willing to risk his health by getting back behind the drums and Kai was made a permanent member. Jukka is now working behind the scenes as part of the management.

Actually, if you could please, do Nightwish with Tarja live doing "Sleeping Sun". It's the one with a BEAUTIFUL flowing white dress. I promise you'll be AMAZED!

they usually always have a stop or to in Canada and were doing a show in Toronto but it was canned by Covid and they haven't added any new dates for Canada for next year...yet. This is Nightwish getting as close to "pop" as they do with Amaranth and Nemo being the other two more simplistic and mainstream style of song and often these are great songs to listen to for the new potential fan as they have a more familiar sound yet still retaining the Nightwish magic especially live :D
