The second half of this song is one of the very few where I prefer Tarja's version to Floor. It's like she's chanting incantations and hurling spells into the darkness. Spine-tinglingly great!
Absolutely, there is something unique about Tarja. Nice apocalyptic ending with her and that toxic green light and fountains of steam in the background - no matter if she banished something or wanted to bewitch us all to get a satisfied grin in our faces, her spell worked on me! 🙃😀
We need them to react to "planet hell" from the End of an Era DVD. They also need to feel the power of Tarja and Anette, we love Floor but NW has had three stages and they are all great. 🖤
This is still my favorite version of this song. I remember back when this dvd came out I had a hard time getting it here in the US but it was worth the trouble. Both Floor and Tarja are amazing in this song but for some reason i just like this version.
Tuomas is going "all in" because he knows as soon as this show is over he will give "the letter" to Tarja and this is the last time they will be on stage together.. Can't imagine the shitstorm going on through his mind in that performance.
actually, he claimed that he was naive enough to believe that blow back would be minimal...considering how popular Tarja was with fans, critics, industry in general, he really was awfully naive..but then he fired Annete with an email while she was stuck in the hospital
What I've always wondered was why. Tarja's contract was up in a year and she'd already said she was leaving. So why not just let it go? Either there was a huge fight leading to an epic break or everybody was naive. Tuomas for thinking he could fire her on a whim and Tarja for assuming he wouldn't dare. Anette was a completely different issue. Too much said and done until they stopped communicating and everybody walked away bitter. Would now like to see their reaction to the same song in Buenos Aires (2018?) with Floor. Not just because it's Floor, but because those people in BA are crazy! :-)
@@beldin2987 .. Tuomas really spun the facts and needlessly claimed that Argentinian cultural standards combined with money and love were a bad combination..xenophobia is not the way to deal with your challenges
@@johndevisser903 She was even quite good in the studio, i just listened to "Poet and the Pendulum" 2-3 months ago and was really surprised how good the LP version with her sounds. But live on stage she was just a disaster.
You're right, both Tarja and Floor are amazing, so is Anette. All three are important to Nightwish in their own ways. I love your reactions, they're pure from someone that loves the genre, that loves this band
Omg this is classic 😍 I have one hidden gem of Nightwish - Beauty of the beast (go for the lyrics video,there is no good quality live),it's one of their best songs but so underrated. That would be great reaction. Thanks guys and hello from Slovakia 😍😘
Yes ...this is one of the ultimate best shows they have ever had....in many (all) ways. The uploaded all the emotions during this concert and clearly showed them to the audience which was able to see and feel it too so well. Next day the fans were totally shocked....and it was an awesome NW Era that ended. After a while Tuomas wrote "the Poet and the Pendulum".
Nightwish Only three US cities in the US for 2021 Lowell, MA 10-7-2021 Tickets on sale now. Let's sell the place out and give this band the credit they deserve in the United States.
I actually prefer this version over the Floor version. There are a few songs I think that Tarja does better than Floor: this one and Wish I had an Angel are just a couple.
oooh young power in stage i love it. little fact nightwish and finland heavy scene. finland heavy scene start 1985 when 2 metal band stone and tarot ( marko hietala and his brother set up) start. marko is finland heavy metal face and grand old man and pioneer of course. nightwish start 1996 and tarja turunen only 18 years old was first heavy metal female singer and pioneer that way of course. tuomas holopainen interesting heavy music,when he was student exchange in kansas usa, only 15 years old. kansas family take young tuomas to concert where playing metallica and guns and roses same time ( how awesome) finland have now 70 heavy bands / 100000 people. so this 5,5 million finland that is almoust 4000 heavy metal band. world record again. long live heavy. thanx and have great day there.
I have the DVD of this concert. And yes Tarja is my favorite and when I started listening to the band Nightwish, Tarja was part of that. My heart was broken when I heard the news that she wasn't part anymore of this band! Night wish have a great singer again and that is Floor Jansen. She is Dutch and so am I. She is doing great and she have a great voice. I love u Floor! But I love Tarja too and I am a great fan of her. 🙏
yeah! Awesome presentation. Susie, your are gorgeous, but I absolutely love your make up today, let us see it closer on Instagram, pleaseeee! Big hugs for you, guys, and lots of love.
@@matiasbelmonte4576 what kind of logic is that😂. What does it have to do with "better"? Besides, I wouldn't exactly call the early albums the most powerful, but that's also a matter of opinion.
@@sm1echel Don't know about powerful or not, but to me they're surely better. Everything after Dark Passion Play pretty much suck. Tuomas decided he wanted to be Hans zimer and the songs got completely boring. Hearing the new album was painful. And poor Empuu, barely does anything anymore.
dismissing her after she already quit in 2004 ,but stayed as a favor to Tuomas to wrap up tour and find a replacement you mean...Tuomas who was already living on borrowed time and did not have the honor of making a joint public announcement, as she wanted to , in the first place...day of liberation for the siren
@@xeleelex146 Her manager telling the band she's not going to rehearse with them in that year because "she doesn't need it" Also him signing a contract for a solo career while she was in the band without her permission
I love Tarja but Floor turned this song from a 7 to a 10. I just think Floor ads so much more versatility to the band. Tuomas can now write a song and know-how he wants the vocals to sound and know Floor can nail it. On a side note, Marco and Floor's vocals work together perfectly. The harmonies are insane.
@@seannightingale3571 if only tuomas had written better songs for floor...oceanborn and wishmaster are the best because of the heavy sound and power metal
I can not say anyone was ever a better woman to pair with Marko on stage than Tarja! And in 2024 They are still magic together. So happy on stage. So free to be their silly selves. No need to hide from each other or the audience. The love pours both ways from the audience to the stage,and from the stage to the audience. That mutual love and acceptance is something I hope somehow to experience 1st hand.
Of course Tarja is great, she was in the end maybe the biggest reason why Nightwish became so famous, and if she were not that good there mostly hadn't been that much drama and hate against Tuomas when she was fired. I just read in the last days that even the prime minister of Finland had something to say about it
@@NicholasCorvin But i guess a lot of "fans" don't even really care about who writes the songs and don't know that it was mostly Tuomas who wrote them all. If they knew that wouldn't have hated him so much since imho it way easier to replace a good music than a great composer
I wish they would show more of Tarja headbanging! There is something about women headbanging that just drives me crazy! And she is really freaking good at it too!
hi i wanted to watch this cosert at least 3 or more times to confirm just notcied that Tuomas sings along with the lead singer but in this last consert he did sing but only with Marco when Tarja sang he kept his mouth closed and there is an overall disconnect from the boys and Tarja she loved / still loves fans and that was her focus
So crazy to think that other than Tarja, everyone in the band knew this was the end of the line with Tarja fronting the band. They all hugged and Tuomas handed her a letter from the band (mostly from him though) firing her when this show ended. Interestingly, Elize Ryd from Amaranthe was one of the potential replacements, however they felt she was too young and inexperienced at the time.
@Cody W what @nico d say is so true 👍 Floor was with her band a support act of a NW concert. They like Floors singing so after Tarja's dismissal they contact her but she said no because she don't want to leave her own band.
the buenos aires version of this song with floor is infinitely better! she adds a whole other level of grit and expression to the song. but marko and emppu killed it as always
not a fan of Marco but sometimes he is quite useful...Tarja is incredible , as usual, considering she was suffering from throat infection and fever that night, but went on brilliantly, the diva that she is
This was the Time, Nightwish can became the best Band in the World but Tarjas Husband Marcello destroy the Band. But now i thank you Marcello for this because now we have Nightwish with Floor.
Please react to the original Visions of Atlantis it's really good the sad part is the female singer Nicole sadly passes way in 2012 please react to new dawn the original version it is my favorite versions
