Some one needs to lock you in a room surrounded by ESS Heil ribbon speakers, and make you listen to the six studio albums with Tarja. Annette did good job on Dark Passion play and Imaginerum with her "little girl" voice. However she butchers Tarja era songs. She admitted this.

@@Khaotika Sure, but Anette wasn't known for having consistent performance. In studio environment you can always make another take and I'm pretty sure The Poet and the Pendulum wasn't one take in studio.
Anette had so many great moments in the band.Mostly not the "big" songs... but I couldnt imagine anyone better performing The Islander or Eva than her. And in the recordings it were mostly the bonus songs that blew me away... like Escapist, The Heart asks pleasure first.... So sad that they will probably never be performed again :/
She is talented, an amazing and unique singer, just as good as Tarja and Floor, I'm glad she joined Nightwish and recorded 2 wonderful albums with the band. (And I really miss Marco and Jukka a lot too)
Annette is nice, but Floor is better, than all. Her voice is amazing. Just try to listen "Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019" youtube video. She ripped everyone.
@@andreilibman9620 Floor is really good! I still like both and have a special love for Anette, but Floor is more consistent and can make many great live performances on tour. Anette didn't always delivered the same quality, sometimes better than other. So I agree that Floor works better with the band as they make long tours. Each singer is better in a diferent aspect, and it is ok to have a favorite one!
i very much agree!! the best of imaginaerum has an original magic that anette created, floor duplicates. the two are so different, but it's undeniable that anette really had a spark that set her apart from the others emotionally.
@@playtagwithasemi Floor is good, that she is. But she can't duplicate Anette. Not a chance. Anette has a voice that sounds like comes from fairytales. Floor can't do that. But her versions are still good though, even if they are no match for the originals.
Awesome concert, so much energy, great to see a full concert, great how things are popping up. The crowd seemed to love it, she nailed it, Bye Bye Beautiful was phenomenal. Anette's legacy, voicing the band's standout albums. I still think Tuomas got a hell of a lot more out of her vocally and creatively than he has done with Floor, a sublime talent, but I'm still waiting for an album that's worthy of her voice.
You know, that is just the thing that has been bugging me for years. When they had Anette in the band, they delivered what is considered by many their best work, and Tuomas was at the height of his creative peak. He had no issues at all, which is pretty evident, writing music for Anette to sing. None whatsoever. Then came Floor Jansen, and it just.. died? Sure, they had some nice songs on their last two albums (I am not a big fan of TGSOE like many are), but they are a far far cry from what Floor is capable of. Why on earth don't they take advantage of her? Is she just there so they can do nostalgia tours with the older era songs (which Floor do have some issues with at times)? Because their two latest albums lack the conviction, drive and enchantment that brought us to that point. I am by all means not a hardcore Floor Jansen fan like so many of the NW fanbase, but I have followed her for years prior to her joining Nightwish. Her work with After Forever, however down into obscurity it goes, is much much better for her vocally than what Holopainen has been able to dream up so far. The same can be said also for her solo work. This is why I don't like Floor much on vocals. I would have preferred them keeping Olzon, since Tuomas was at no time hampered from composing enchanting music. These days is just.. meh. But then again, as much as their peak was with Olzon, NOTHING can compare to the magic that was with the original band, when Holopainen composed epics like Swanheart and Ghost Love Score. THAT magic can never be reproduced, and is only a mere memory.
@@michaelvedal1907 I can't argue with any of that, I honestly think Floor is world class, I absolutely love her voice, the last two albums though, are just boring, she deserves so much better, Pan was ok, Greatest show is decent in parts, but compared to what was on Once, DPP and Imaginareum, woeful. Anette's voice was what hooked me, and it's that bright tone that I find addictive. I wish they had kept faith with her, Jani clearly knows how to get the best out of her as well.
Cmiiw, she was doing chest voice more. She reaches the high notes with less falset. It makes her unique than the other nightwish vocalist. I love the way she delivered the songs. Especially the song NEMO,, so emotional approach.
I didn't even know there was a full concert video with Anette on YT. Very revealing. There's a lot of hatred in that crowd for her, isn't there? Not. She seems to be getting on well with Emppu, I suppose being the same size counts for something. The best thing on here is Eva. Written especially for her, she absolutely nails it. I hope if Nightwish ever call it a day their final show will feature all three singers.
There are several concerts. Look for one in Montreaux, and one in Serbia at Exit festival and there's one other the audio is direct from the sound board, or direct from live broadcast. Anette is a nice singer. She responded to my comments before and she's a bit snippy, but at least she's genuine.
@@RBR-lo2ei No, No, this actually came up in a discussion. Scandinavian musicians seem to be more open with their fans, but it depends on how questions are asked. I know I'm generalizing...
I think Tarja would come back for a special show since she and Tuomas are back on speaking terms, plus she and Floor are known to be good friends, but I'm honestly not sure Anette would. Last I knew, there still seemed to be a bit of animosity between them, at least from her side, though tbf I don't blame her.
@@godoflemmings17 I remember an interview from about 2014 when she said she'd like to have a chat with the band again. She said she felt that they wouldn't care to talk to her. She probably just moved on to do her own thing. A distant memory.
I can't believe she received so much crap back then, this is an amazing performance, that I completely forgot existed. It makes me sad when some fans today pretends that Anette era didn't exist.
I am guilty of believing she is mediocre in comparison to floor and Tarja. This show demonstrates she is quite talented too. In fairness though she does seem to have lazier vocals in her later years in Nightwish.
Just found this rarity ☺️ Anette gave all her soul and voice in this, and for the most part it came out very well. But it also becomes obvious that she has not the stamina needed, she hurt her voice. Sad they couldn’t figure out how to do it in a lasting and healthy way.
Here is a bomb for you. They did figure it out. But her, as with Tarja before her, has NO stamina for their touring schedule. Holopainen is a madman when it comes to their tours, even though they have relaxed it after Floor came along (think that was one of the clauses in her contract.. lol). They basically exhausted two vocalists and blamed it on the women.. haha.. smartasses. Olzon was a fine vocalist for the band. Too bad they just couldn't chill a little. That would have made a world of difference. Also, remember.. this show was part of their two year tour, which was the longest they ever did.. with shows almost every other night. It was insane. Doubt Floor would have agreed to that shit.
@@michaelvedal1907 I think Anette sang wrong notes in many places instead of being just exhausted. The rest you wrote is absolutely true and Nightwish has had way too tight schedule for their tours. Singers are not machines and they need somedays a day or two to recover if they have multiple gigs in rapid sequence. The biggest problem I have with Anette is that she was not versalite enough to sing all the songs Nightwish already had. Some songs written for her such as Scarytale and Slow Love Slow she did perform really well, though.
Definitely better than Floor’s. People might love her but her voice is useless when the music they write for her is meh. Anette and tarja got the best from the nw in their respective eras.
Wow! That Bye Bye Beatiful was freaking awesome! :-) 36.37 -> Volga Volga, rakkaus tai kuolema.... XD OK, watched the whole concert and OMG how good it was. Anette sang very good indeed, even those couple of old songs. Audience seemed pretty happy and satisfied as well.
Same energy as most concerts I was at with Nightwish and Anette back in the day. Always high energy and lots of fans cheering and singing along. There wasn't dull moments with Anette, even though she wasn't all that good at times. Still, they rocked everywhere they went.
After seeing this.. 3 times.. lol.. I have some thoughts. If anyone is interested of course.. This was the very beginning of the DPP Tour (first official concert with Olzon), which spanned two years and too many shows. This is evident by a few things that is very noticable: 1. Anette still has her black hair, which she had when she joined the band. This would, of course, change over time, and a lot of times during this tour. Only for the first.. 20 shows.. she sported this hair. So 2. They are using a vocal modulator with Anette's voice, which one doesn't need to be a genius to hear. This would be discarded not long after this show at Anette's own request, to allow for her voice to be more genuine. It was probably the worst misake the band ever made with Anette during her tenure with them. 3. We can still hear that the band is a little bit rough around the edges with Anette, but this would, of course, get better as the tour progressed. As I was saying, the use of a vocal modulator is very evident at this show, as it would be until after they finished their Australian shows in 2008. After that, it was nixed, and never used again. This is why the shows before or in Australia on this tour is some of the best shows Anette ever did with the band, together with a few of the last ones in 2012. Anette was very much up and down when it came to her live performances, as she never had the same training as both Tarja and Floor, and most other vocalists in metal bands. Even so, one can still hear (especially at the end of TPATP) where the modulator can't compensate properly, and she has enormeous issues with the vocals. I love Olzon's era of Nightwish. It is, by far, my favorite time of the band, where they were at the peak of their own creativity. And I love Olzon as a singer. I was at more shows than I care to remember on the DPP tour (I followed them all around Europe and saw also a couple shows in the US and Canada. It was much like it was for me with Within Temptation back when they were good (2003+) where me and my former fiance followed them through Europe on their tour.. lol.. it was a blast and we still talk about that some 20 years later. Even so, there is no problem admitting Olzon was a terrible live performer, which is actual fact. She had a few good shows after Australia, but in Las Vegas it was so bad you just had to cringe. So yeah, they should have kept that thing on when doing shows with Anette. It would have helped her avoid lots of the issues the fans had with her. But to each their own I guess, and Anette chose to not use it (which is still a conundrum to me since Holopainen calls all the shots there.. why he allowed it?). Got to say I love this concert though. The energy is amazing, and the crowd is on fire. No matter what assholes in the Floor camp is saying, there was never really a concert I went to with this band when Anette was in it that was not like this. Perhaps when they played that small concert in Norway in 2012, but other than that, the place was always full speed. The crowd never complained about Anette or the band as far as I know at least. I still wish they would have stayed the course with Anette and done a few more albums with her. Instead they chose to get Floor Jansen, a vocalist that is so criminally underused that Holopainen should be ashamed of himself.
Really?! Wow... in 2007... how do you know? It's not that obvious to me but she does sound surprisingly good here... how strange to discard it wtf. They should leak the audio. Fans deserve a well sounding anette gig
Also if it works this well, why are singers even today not using it and embarrassing themselves on TV? Im sure madonna would never sound off key again. Hence the doubt here
@@Fayenatic There are plenty of singers who will not use it, simply on principle. Like Olzon after Australia in 2008, she chose not to use it anymore, and you can easily hear that. But when you embark on long ass tours, you have no real choice (if you are sane) than to use it, because it will allow you to relax your vocal cords and save them for another day. Her choice to stop using it was, by all logic, insanity. But you know... Another argument is that using it would make the voice of the singer not sound genuine. I mean, if you go to a Madonna concert these days and expect her to sound pitch perfect (which she never did btw), you might not want to go there. Madonna has never used this technology, which is why she, like Olzon, is up and down for every show she does, simply because some days are better than others when it comes to her voice.
Hey, thanks for posting this rarity. Did you tape it yourself? Didn't know about this version... I only have a recording from near the front of the stage. If anyone has this show on DVD and would like to trade, let me know
Her best NW achievements were the songs Eva, Slow Love Slow, The Crow The Owl and the Dove, The Islander, Turn loose the Mermaids, and the first five minutes of Meadows of Heaven. With her sooth and smooth vocal capabilities she created diamonds out of these songs. With her little bit squaerky and scratchy touch of Scaretale she made out of this song even a masterpiece. She unfortunately could not met the more classical heavier songs which were produced in the Tarja period. In my opinion all the other NW members were responsible for her not always successful performances by requesting her to do these songs live on stage.
Hiring Anette was first and foremost a massive "f. you" to Tarja and to a lot of the old fans who had foolishly believed that their opinion mattered. Tuomas deliberately let her butcher his own songs, knowing in advance that she wouldn't be capable of singing them. This would've told me all I needed to know about the man if I didn't already. Anette isn't a bad singer, she just was at the wrong place - though if we take commercial success as a measure of right and wrong, then it was a "right" decision. A lot of people liked the new poppy sound, which hasn't really changed since Floor joined. The abuse of vocalists seems to be a feature of Nightwish. Anette had to sing songs she wasn't capable of singing, Floor has to sing songs she is too good for.
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 I can agree with you to a certain extent here. But one can also point out a few other things while we are at it. Hiring Anette was a masterclass in how to achieve commercial success with a band that had a limited fanbase. Tuomas, being the master songwriter he is, had no problem dreaming up songs that would fit the masses (Amaranth, Bye Bye Beautiful), and off they went. The Anette era generated millions of new fans for the band, and cemented them as the biggest symphonic metal band in the world. I wouldn't call the sound "poppy" though, since there was only a few tracks that could fit that description. The Poet and the Pendulum and such are by no means "poppy", but YMMV. I do think that hiring Anette was a two fold strategy from the band. I agree on your assessment that hiring her was a big up yours to both Tarja and diehard fans that had an opinion about it. In that, they were certainly in their right to do so. Secondly, I think that Tuomas changed the sound to distance himself from Tarja even more, to a point that it became ridicilous. The entire sound changed at this time, and has continued until present day for the most part, even though after Floor they have become more "folk" than under Anette (thanks to Troy). As for Anette and the Tarja era songs.. how do you fill a concert with only songs from one album? Answer is you can't. Also, the fans would riot. So that wasn't an option. Anette had to sing some of the older tracks, and she became quite adept at it after a while, with highlights like Nemo, Sacrament of Wilderness, Wishmaster and I Wish I Had An Angel among the tracks she had no issues with. She basically made her own versions of them, as opposed to Floor who tries her best to mimic Tarja, which worked out pretty good. Of course, she had no soprano voice, but she gave them a dose of her rock'n roll style, which I think was pretty good in itself. Her Wishmaster is still better than Floor's imho. However, they did catch on pretty quick, and changed this on the Imaginaerum tour (and even before that). They took out some of the worst songs for Anette (like Floor's favorite) and tried to keep the setlist within her capabilities. I was at numerous shows on the DPP tour (I think 15 in total), and it was easy to notice the changes they made. In the beginning it was pretty subtle, but in the end it wasn't hard to understand they had caught onto Anette's limited range and removed most of the songs she couldn't handle. Floor, on the other hand, faces a few different problems. Aside from her aforementioned favorite track (which we all know which is), her performances of the older era tracks are pretty.. lifeless. Anyone with half an ear can hear the differences in how she performs Tarja era songs as compared to how she performs, say, Shoemaker or The Greatest Show on Earth. It's the same lifeless show every time, which has become pretty boring. On the tracks she likes, sure.. she fires them up, like The Poet and the Pendulum and Song of Myself, but for the most part it's.. boring. I don't agree that she is too good for the songs from Tarja and Anette eras though. Floor is a jack of all trades, in reality, and can do them fine. But she isn't "too good" for them. Fits right in if you ask me. She does, thanks to being so all rounded, lack flair though, which the two others had. Tarja had her special finnish voice which was pretty colorful to listen to (her Swanheart and Wishmaster as examples) and Anette had her fairytale voice that nobody can even try to duplicate, least of all Floor with her much deeper voice. And no, they still haven't cranked out an album that utilizes Floor to her potential. That is the saddest part of this whole debacle I think. But they didn't fire out Anette and hire Floor because of new songs. I think they did that out of nostalgia and wanted somebody there that could perform the older songs. Perhaps they missed that, I don't know. But in the end, they got what they wanted. But they could have done it in a whole different way than they did. Their abuse of their singers was pretty apparent again at that point. Pretty sure Floor has secured herself against that shit after two previous singers being booted out like that.
Even though Anette is my least favorite singe, everyone has to admit that she did a very good job with the songs from her albums. Yes she struggled with Tarjas songs but she is a completely different singer. They made a choice. Either get a soprano singer like Tarja who could probably never live up to the expectations but get her songs somewhat right or go a different route and focus on the future.
Have you ever listened to the bands first six studio albums? Angels fall first, Oceanborn, Wishmaster, Century Child, Once, Over the hills and far away. The bluray "End of era" is one of the greatest performances in contemporary music history.
@@sonjaemery that such a old term people call other people, they disagree with. Especially when the person they disagree with is correct. Unfortunately you have a reprobate mind on the subject.
It was really hard for Anette to afford her first show.... trying to sing "Mother & father" part was a nightmare without any classical singing trainning.
2007 but it looks like it was recorded in 1998 😂! Thank you very much for uploading the full presentation… It’s crazy to think about all this material that captured amazing moments that yet to be shown. Once again thank you ❤!
I'm a big fan of the two album's with Anette. I don't compare much, but anyway they are on my top 5 list of NW albums. have seen all three singers live, and the best one considering stage appearance was Tarja. But anyway the choise depends on personal taste. All of them are excellent, super great, singers. And Marko too, so right now (2024) NW is missing 50% of it's singing power.
Funny, never heard Olzon live. She sounds great, even on this bootleg recording. I don't agree with combining Olzon's style with Nightwish, but clearly there was potential for great music there.
After Tarja left the band, I still heari g NW because marco still there and Annete give new atmosphere in NW. Than Annete left the band, I still watching the video about NW with floor but dont have a soul at their video, after that NW release new Album, from there I never know one single song from the rest two album NW with Floor. And now, no Marco in NW, aahhhh I really getting dissappoint with that. Their concert without marco just ahhhh i dont know what i wanna explain, i dont like NW anymore. Its make me sad
There is no Nightwish without Tarja. She was the "soul" of the band. The Julie Andrews of Metal. It's not a question if they reconcile, it's when? Marco has been singing with Tarja on her current American tour. He comes out and sings phantom of the opera with her.
It's interesting to compare this performance to Floor's 11th show which can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--H0lz2KzzAw.html I haven't been able to find the full Seatle show to see how Floor did in her first Nightwish gig overall.
Her abilities are below the other two singers and yet she gave the best energy to Nightwish along Tarja. A band is not only a powerful voice or super acrobatic one. Anette has the worst technique, and still deliver great shows. Floor is technically the best singer they have had, and still the most boring one.
Buena cantante peeero, poco carisma y sobre todo que no pudo quitarse la carga de suplir a Tarja y despues vino Floor y tambien la supero en todo, lo dicho buena pero la peor de las tres con diferencia...
Ya en la actualidad las tres fueron superadas por nuevas cantantes, Floor ya no es la misma que en 2013, ya no le echa ganas a la voz y cuando no puede alcanzar una nota empieza a gritar, Tarja comienza a bajar la voz y parece una cantante novata y Anette pues... Es feliz siendo enfermera y músico de sesión.
Ever dream is just horrible in any way.... Even Tarja sung that song really bad ,but this is horrible,but finaly we have Floor that can sing this song like is should
@@jesusantonioechavarriadelgado Tarja and Anette era rules! Floor is a good singer (look After Forever, i love that band) but her era is so overrated and mainstream
