This entire band is a Unicorn. Floor is a Unicorn. A Valkyrie / Unicorn. 🦄 🙂 My goodness... everything she does is magical. What a gift they are. Great reaction! 👍🏻
"I think this DVD is gonna kick ass" The understatement of the century lol As you said this concert was one in a million, even though the others are great too. This wasn't Floor's first concert, she had been for a couple of months with the band as Anette replacement, but it was her first 'big concert' so to speak. Her first gig was actually in the US, in Seattle I believe, there's some footage of that
Floor had been with Nightwish allready 10 months before Wacken consert. Also she had been in big festivals by then too in Finland, not as big as Wacken of course but she had a good amount of experience by then and it shows.
Well, this was the last ride of the iconic Wacken 2013 show. I've seen the whole show for multiple times on YT and on my dvd and with reactors. For me this is the best live production ever. But then there are excellent Tampere 2015, Wembley Arena 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018 shows eagerly waiting for you, you lovely people. ⛄💗👫
What makes Wacken so special is 82,000 people most of whom had never heard Floor sing with Nightwish were blown away. She had been singing with band 10 months but had 48 hours to learn the set for her first performance on tour, she became an official member of the band as well as Troy 2 months after this concert !!
This concert was where Floor had enough previous shows under her belt with the band that she had refined the songs to a fine point to where they were all the magical performances we see from Wacken.....although even the first few shows she did with the band were pretty damned awesome too. The "Learn this playlist in 48 hours" was in 2012 when she had to do a crash course learning the songs.
As a Nightwish follower, I love all their songs, to me they are all Imaginariumly epic. Damn I just wish I could have attended this open air concert......
Floor had been singing with the band for 10 months before this show. Her first show was in Oct. of 2012. This show was in August of 2013. Love this song. Beautifully done Ginger & Mike. Peace. 😊🙏🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘✌
The inquiry about Floor's first concert, it was on a US tour in October 2012 in Seattle, Washington. Annette took ill suddenly, and they asked Floor to take over vocals for their next show in Seattle, in which she learned that set list in 48 hours. She didn't become official until October 2013, soon after this Wacken show.
Floor became an official member after their last show of that tour at M'era Luna Festival, which took place eight days later. It was my first time I shot them.
@@music2seeconcertphotograph457 Actually Floor got the suit for becoming a permanent member of Nightwish before the Wacken concert. At that time she was still having her band "ReVamp". However Nightwish won her heart completely as it turned out they are a perfect match both on and off-stage.
@@MacZussie Floor and Nightwish is definitely a Win-Win-Win-Situation (for them and for the fans). From what I heard/read it became official at/after M'era Luna. It was of course "no surprise".
@@MacZussie Yeah, from what I understand she was already a permanent member of the band at the Wacken show, they just hadn't made the public announcement yet.
This was the tour she joined in on midway after Annette was let go. I think she'd been with them a few months of touring by this concert. Awesome regardless
Yep....A fun song. Don't forget, this was the first time almost all 82K saw the band live with Floor and Troy....And they NAILED it ! Look at their faces, they know they found the perfect fit.
Greetings, Mike & Ginger. Floor joined Nightwish onstage for the first time in Seattle, Washington on October 1st 2012. This concert was 10 months later on August 3td 2013 but at this point formalities had already taken place in regards to Floor's permanent standing with the band. That actually happened in June 2013. Great reaction!! Thank you for the video and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤🤘🤘
The first concert Floor played with Nightwish was in the middle of the American leg of their 2012 tour, when the previous singer quit suddenly. This was the "learn the setlist in 48 hours" moment. The Wacken concert was the first one after she and Troy had been asked to become permanent full members, but IIRC, it hadn't been announced publically yet. The 2015 Wembley concert was pretty good too: pros and cons compared to Wacken. One performance from Wembley that you should check out is 7 Days To The Wolves: it's fabulous :-)
ok ginger, I believe this was her 4th concert with them, I think she joined them after Denver for their Seattle concert, then Portland, then Buenos Aires where it seems she got real comfortable and then Wacken where she perfected it. You can see how comfortable she is with the band and how they also admire her too.
Thank you :-) I hope that you had time to watch the International Women's Day special of "Floor Finds", with Simone from Epica. They're both such great persons, and role models.
This one is an absolute banger. It wasn’t Floors first gig with the band as that was I believe in Seattle mid tour in 2012. Most of the crowd here had never seen Floor fronting the band
She joined as fill in singer 10 months before the Wacken show late Sept 2012. At the time of Wacken in August 2013 she was still only signed through the end of the tour. The first concert she sang at was in Seattle, Washington and yes she had roughly 48 hours to prep. She did not have all the songs memorized and just to be safe that had lyrics posted around the stage in places she could see if necessary. Even with that information by the time they got to Wacken Toumas already knew she was who they wanted to be the new lead. It was made official about 9 weeks later in October 2013
Love your reactions. 💕 I agree, Wacken 2013 is such an amazing show, however trust me, so are Wembley 2015 and Buenis Aires 2018. Try the Wembley opener "The Shudder Before the Beautiful" ... such an energy, you will love it. All the best 🍀🍀🍀
This whole band is awesome. Plus they really seem to appreciate their crew and their fans as you can see from the credits thanking and acknowledging everyone and how they interact with the fans. Hopefully, will see them as planned in October in Massachusetts gig
Oh Bollox..they've done it again! I'm bushed after a really hard days work. Grit in the eye from the first note! No other band has ever gotten even close to the emotion and joy I feel for NW. I hope Marko is OK. Another great reaction as you guys see the finale of the Waken show.
Wacken Open Air festival September 2013 was the closing concert of their Imaginaerum World Tour. Floor was asked to jump in almost a year before (halfway this two years tour) her first ft. concert was in Seattle October 1st, 2012. Floor Jansen, was born in the Netherlands on Februari 21st, 1981. At the age of 16 she started her career as (initially) the background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997 but real soon she took the lead until early 2009. Parallel she studied at the Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. Her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5th, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1st, 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9th, 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer.
Floors first show was in Seattle Oct 1st 2012. This was recorded Aug 3rd 2013, so almost to the day 10 months after her first show. That had two more festivals to play after Wacken, then the world tour was over.
Dark Chest of Wonders-The perfect show opener. Last Ride of the Day-The perfect show closer. Floor's smile at the end of the was like: "I guess that I got a full time job now..." She and Troy became full members of the band that night.
Floor had been with the band for about 10 months at this point. however for most of the people in the audience, this was the very first time they had seen her. She was not officially a member yet, at least publicly. This was also their very last show of that tour. So it was the culmination of all her work up to that point. There are some great videos of the band in places like Orlando which happened only a couple days after she joined and you can see the difference between this concert and those events.
What a band! What a band! What a band! And what a great, lovely reactor duo! :) Floor was actually 10 months with the band here, but not officially a member yet. Even so, 10 months is not a long time to get to this level in the first place. What is really nice though, is that with the exception of Emppu, who seems to be happy most of the time as long as he has a beer and a guitar, the band members really all look happy, which is not so much the case in concerts before Floor joined :). At least, that is my interpreation of what I have seen so far. Great reaction and interaction, as always! Love, warmest regards, Wim P.S.: Almost missed this one!
😁🇫🇮🤘❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁✨👍 What's next on a row...Wembley, TAMPERE, Buenos Aires....documents, film making, record making, etc😁 Yours 🎢journey is long and full of Euphoria & Enjoy ❤️😊🇫🇮🤘
This wasn't her first show, but it was one of the first, a couple of months in. She joined while they were still in the U.S., then they returned to Germany for this festival.
*I highly recommend in terms of reactions: a) EVERGREY -- "Eternal Nocturnal" [Off. Video] [Check out also for yourself: EVERGREY -- "Where August Mourn" [Off. Video]] and b) THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA -- "Transmissions" [Off. Music Video]. "Transmissions" is for sure one of the best tracks of 2020. "Transmissions" is taken from their 2020 album "Aeromantic". For Your Information: »Aeromantic« was recorded at the Nordic Sound Labs using the same drum kit that was used during the recordings of ABBA's 1980 mega album »Super Trouper«!* 🎵🎸🥁🎸🎻🎹📢🎵🌟💿🔊👍✅🔥🔥🔥🤘😎👍
Very fundamental/core song. Floor exposed her soul and love for the rest of the band. I am not sure Nightwish ex Floor expected her centered dedication to making this happen as it did. A memorable set. I love Nightwish as a result of Wacken 2013.
She had been with the band for about 5 months I think at the time of this concert and it was also before she and Troy were made permanent members of the band, up til a little after this show they were considered as temporary
🤘🇫🇮 Nightwish Army Finland! She had been in the band around 10 months in this gig. Hope this your not the Last Ride of The Nightwish because this is the song that endet the Wacken 2013 stage show in Germany....
I guess the new girl did her thing during that concert.The perfect closer to the perfect show...."We live in every moment but this one" ..."It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead"... This is an ode to hope, living in the now and take hold of our own happiness. Never these lyrics rang truer than during these time we live in. We are lucky to witness this greatness that's called Nightwish in our lifetime.
When I see the photographer(s) at the the end take the "final photos" it really starts itching. I did those shots for a ouple of bands and it is always adrenaline taking this special shot. No way to ruin this shot as this is usually the first one to deliver and they know, that you have taken it. Sometimes, especialy as a festival during the day, this "honor" can become a pain in the a.... When the sun is shining bright an you have either a white background or a black foreground. In 2019 at M'era Luna there was another "challenge": The fog machine was continuously running and it neede a lot of photoshop to get the band at least a bit clear ;-)
I heard it was her first road trip with them but they had a few nights under their belt at this point I stand corrected on a previous statement I made another fan clarified it for me. ]:P
Another great vocalist but in a totally different style from Nightwish is Chris Stapleton. A reaction to Chris Stapleton's "Somethings I Cry" from the Bing lounge is highly, highly recommended. Many vocal coaches that have reacted to Floor Jansen have also reacted to Chris Stapleton and love Chris just as much as Floor even with both doing completely different styles.
You could, and almost should, have done the official live video from Helsinki arena show. Smaller venue and indoors but in many ways also better than the Wacken one. Too few people react to that one.
Hallo, friend the last concert of this Tour was in Hildesheim, Germany. ~one Month later.And that was Jukkas last Show..🤗 you find a Video on YT. called Jukkas last Show. Very emotional.
Did you do already "The greatest Show on Earth"? I am not sure right now. You should do definitely "Tampere version" and not Wembley if you love fireworks.
They are epic, I wish I woulda been able to to see them....and sadly, I never can, how they were. I was gonna work on going to see them, at the closest, easiest place I could...then shit went down, with the record label and Marko isn't with them....they'll never be the same to me, without him. tried some of their stuff after he left, I just can't do it, the music isn't the same, and no vocals....not that it's bad now, they aren't and still are amazing, but anything of theirs after Marko, just not my deal.
I love how Floor is a bad ass frontwoman for a metal band, but is not afraid to be femine at the same time. She is skipping across stage and saying her hips at points in the song, it just so cool to see. A lot of metal ladies think they have to be passed by demons or something.
Love your reactions. Love Nightwish to bits and back. (But still plugging for Richard Hawley. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LBTA3v1Jt_I.html Pretty please. Down on hands and knees.)
