They had two more shows after Wacken, then the tour would be over. The band had been on tour for a year and a half, and changed singer mid tour. And they all knew by then that Floor was the one. That's what all the smiles are about, the unity, they were a whole band again. And the love from the fans too.

Right?!? The *fan love* speaks volumes!!! They knew and felt NW were whole again, a unit. When you watch the entire concert, you see SO many people singing along with every piece. During “Last of The Wilds” you can see one guy screaming “NIGHTWISH IS BACK!” And in this one, I think the girl in the bright colors says it all. I mean seriously, arms thrown wide, head to the sky, singing “Every memory that you hold dear!”. If THAT doesn’t define the Nightwish experience I don’t know what would! (Okay, the Buenos Aires crowd during I Want My Tears Back too!)

This has definitely become the ultimate version of the song, I believe.

I like to consider this Wacken show as the most successful audition for a band ever. People thought Tuomas was writing for Tarja and Annette, but in the end it's clear he was always writing for Floor. Rock on. 🤘😎👍

Floor is the gift that keeps on giving....

That’s the magic of Floor! She can take Annette’s vocals for this track and make them 100X better!!

Good reaction. Certainly my favorite version of Storytime. Seen it a lot of times. Floor nailed it and to be honest much better then Anette. She even was not an official member of Nightwish. This whole concert is amazing and Upness. Thanks, Terry, for requesting this one. Thanks for this reaction.

Yes, actually she and Troy were official members, just not announced.

From the "innocence" operatic part until the end is utter perfection. With Nightwish and Floor you take it for granted that this is a live performance - perfection. Also, good call about the audience. They all know the lyrics and they look absolutely ecstatic to be there, as they should be.

A Master composer, Master Musicians and topped off with Perfection, that is the Valkyrie Goddess Floor ❤😇😇😇🤘

This was only the second song I had heard and made me an instant fan-for-life from that moment on

Wow great reaction

Absolute perfection. Thank you both for this reaction to our beloved Nightwish with Floor on lead vocals. Loved it.

For me Wacken 2013 beat any other gig ive been too or Artists i've seen. Ive seen Nightwish 6 times, i was at Wembley for Live Aid, ive been to Glastonbury and Kerrand Awards, but this legendary concert was the best of them all.

The best Version of this Song. 🤟🏻 A lot of Songs from Nightwish you haven't React. My personal Suggestions are "Shudder before the Beautiful" (for my Opinion the best Opener), then "Dark Chest of Wonders"... also an Opener. And one Song, the Last from Marko Hietala as Nightwish Member, "Endlessness". Greetz from Germany. 🔥🤟🏻

Okay Lovely duo 😊. You're Awesome ..and Lady ...your hair is sooo much better .. your face is like an Angel really 🔥🐬💜💥🧚‍♀️

Floor was giving it her best belting in this performance. Other versions seem she is conserving her power and singing in a more conservative mixed voice style. She knows what she needs to do to keep her voice strong and healthy on a long tour schedule.

And when you remember that Floor was relatively new to this band and setlist when this happened. Whoa aah! As Marco said in one interview/documentary he has enjoyed reacting to fans reacting to Floor. And in this particular song it shows, everyone in their turn are looking at Floor and giving the I approve nod. She was killing it in this very night.

Well she was getting warm. Was 10 months in

This seems to be the show where the band gelled as a whole, after, Annette leaving mod tour, the scars of Tarja where still sore, things came together here.

You should add some thongs hanging on the wall with the guitars... that would be hilarious xD

Floor says Ever Dream for her was the most difficult vocal to sing , i agree with you though just all the lyrics

superm reaction Sharlene and Herman/Harry...( Herman is a name of the Netherlands I believe?) more of wacken please...all the songs are Magic so take a pick😁great listen to the details in the song, nice review, guys love it...greetings from the Netherlands❤#BeSafe

The whole concert is freakin' amazin', best concert of my life.

Greatest performance of Storytime. My favorite song by Nightwish. Also one of my favorite choruses of any song. Just amazing! Floor has said Everdream is the hardest song she has sung. If you haven't, check out the Wacken 2013 version of it. Definitely worth it!

Emppu following Floor up the scale with the pinch harmonics is one of my many favorite parts of this song. The opening bass line before the drums kick in is another. Jukka’s tom work was my favorite part of his drumming (apart from his personality back there) and this song really highlights that. 🤘.

@RobinC63

Jukka’s intensity in this is mesmerizing.

Only thing about the subtitles in this one is when she sings the first high part, they say innocence, innocence but if you watch her, she says Neverland, innocence. Same in some of the other songs. I guess some lyrics changed a bit when Floor took over as lead. Love her, by the way.

This performance lifts you up from wherever you are❣️

Hey Guy's, as always, a great review, it is such a joy, to watch music lovers, and music makers like you Harry, and Sharlene, when their faces start smiling, and their Jaws drop wide open when they hear and see this Amazing Band called Nightwish, and the Queen, of Metal, and everything ells that she sings, She just turns it into pure gold, Our Amazing Floor Jansen, who is a true gift to this world. She is often copied, but will never be bettered, I Loved it H and S. ❤❤Now bring on Estass.

The Wacken 2013 concert is one of the best concert I have ever seen on video right up there with Pink Floyd's Pulse concert. Great performances and great audio.

Powerhouse indeed! Those Goddess notes and Jukka going off! Great reaction!

This performance is my absolute favorite nightwish piece. (with visuals) In my mind this is how this song and the band should be. Perfect performance and everybody all around happy and smiling. Makes me happy everytime I see it. Doesn't compare to the album version or other live performances of this song.

Love the reaction, that's exactly how I felt when I first heard it. Cheers!

Love the octave harmonic Floor achieves on the last note!!!

Singers sing what they can Floor sing what she want ❤

Wait...what? You two have never done the Wacken Storytime? I am amazed. Well glad you got to it- KNEW you'd love it once you started. My favourite performance of one of my top five NW songs.

Glad to see you guys are back. We need more nightwish and sabaton reactions

Awesome performance, awesome reaction!

Wonderful reaction Harry and Sharlene! This song brings me so much joy. I always love watching Emppu perform 😉 Nightwish will always be a constant in my life 🥰 Thank You ❤ P.S. I had to share your reaction in FloorWorld 🤘🤘

This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you guys witnessed a "Dutch Windmill" , and to finish you off, The Operatic "Cruise Missile" !!!! Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bullwhip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch. Awesome tune , although it is kind of a popish sound (originally sung by Anette, the second singer of Nightwish), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Including this "Operatic" part, what was originally done by children's choir because vocal limitations on their second singer (Great singer also, I might add), but Floor has none of that "Limit". Nightwish lyrics are often a bit interpretive, and not as "straightforward" as many other bands, because Tuomas ( The Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen: founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish.) prefers people to put their own interpretations and life experiences into the lyrics. you connect with songs on a personal level when there is something there that relates to things you have gone/are going through, and you may even find new connections later on in life when you have gone through other big events/emotions. there might be songs you are quite indifferent about (oh, nice song) and then you go through something big and all of a sudden it makes you break down in tears because now you relate to something in the lyrics you didn't before, and see it from a whole new perspective. imagination and life experiences are powerful, and Tuomas has great appreciation of this. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

Amazing Nightwish ❤❤❤ Thank you ❤ Nightwish Army South Africa ❤❤❤

Great reaction as always - In fact Floor is the one that started singing the operatic part in the song live. Anette never sang that live.

Hope that Phantom of the Opera performance from the Ziggo Dome in Holland is next on your list. You guys will LOVE that version so much ;-)

It’s almost unfair!🤘🎸

Hello! Nice to see you and yours . I've seen/heard the song 100 times, reactions may be 40 , but never miss your, you are cool, fresh, positive and just fine.

This is one of the songs I always go to when I''m feeling low and are a bit sad. It always picks me up and put me in a good mood. My mixed "Happy"- playlist contains 5 songs from Nightwish and four of them are from this concert! That says things about how good this was! 😍 Btw. I love your new hairstyle Sharlene! 👌💚😃

Hey guys!!!! I love your reactions!!! You fell the music like myself. My first live show was "QUEEN" Here in my city, 'Mar del Plata ' Argentina. I was 16 years old in 1981. After this, I saw Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Brian May, Keith Richards, The Cult, B52's, Duran Duran, Living Colour, and many others. Many from my country. Music is a soul healler. I can tell that you love music. You're the best reactors ever!!! Thanks thanks thanks. Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my English

great reaction, good that you pointed out that Juka is amazing...such an intensive entertainer....

React something from Nightwish live Deichbrand 2022. "Tribal" maybe. Greetings from Finland.

Hi guys, „long time no see“, tx for a great reaction, but I think, this was an easy one, because the band was phenomenal and Floor …..she is just amazing. Guys, do yourself a favor and check the opener at Wacken, it is called „Chest of wonders“…….I am 1000% sure, that you will enjoy it! Hope you have a great time in SA, by the way in October I will finally move back to NAM, can’t wait for it!😊

The stars aligned that night in Wacken. Nightwishalisciousness ❤

Always one of my favorites!!!❤❤ Terry picked a good one there! 🔥🔥

I missed you guys!

I always like how Floor uses like an attack and release on the vocals. Also 2013 Wacken concert i believe is there best followed by Wembley Arena London but that my opinion based on Crowd energy, Lighting and effects, video quality, sound quality and overall performance. Also the camera panning makes a difference when watching from home. Thank you guys.

Storytime Definitive Edition

thanks

The Wacken 2013 concert is one of the best I’ve ever heard!

Epiiic!

If you don't heard it before, you should look up Nightwish song The Greatest show on earth and react to that. It's amazing.....

My favourite performance from my favourite concert, not much else to say. There are many songs where I prefer how Tarja or Anette start a song compared to how Floor starts it, some where I prefer their versions overall, but I don't think there are any where I prefer their final vocals to Floor's! She always comes up with something stunning.

Nightwish , Wacken , Germany :)

Thank you for your great reaction! I have a question…how come you two don’t have a reaction on Dream Theater songs? Especially when seeing all the beauties (guitars) on the wall behind… I am sure you know who John Petrucci is… 😊

Great reaction as usual. You want a hard song to sing? Try Shoemaker. Tuomas didn’t think they could do it live. They did and it’s amazing!

Storytime became an hymn for all we metallers, and yes: that was a so incredible live performance about it. Long time ago some people said to me: "Empuu is a average guitar player" and I answered them: "Shut up your fucking mouths, he's a so powerful player and Thomas is a total 'maestro', fuck!!" Hietala always was/is a 'hero'. And trust me: no baddest demons can destroy our metal pantheons because nowadays Floor is on the way again and we all hope Jukka can return soon because metal gods & godesses came from Asgard and Vanaheim giving us lights from Alphaheim and they'll be eternal. Metal never dies!!

If you want to hear their most complicated song to sing you should check out the song “Pan” from the Human Nature album. That song is impossible to sing for a mere mortal.

If you get the chance, listen to songs you've reacted to sung by Floor, then listen to the same song but from Annette n Tarja. You'll get (at least I do) a great understanding why so many took to Floor so quickly after Wacken 2013.
