I love how Nightwish actually look like they're having fun on the stage. I think that's the most important aspect for any live performing band, that they actually enjoy it themselves.
True, im not that big of a Depeche Mode fan BUT when they where around they where one of the best live performance band around and whether you liked their music or not you really ENJOYED their on stage performance + like Bruce the Boss their performances could be REALLY long 2½ hour to 3 hours where not uncommon
@@bentalexranebundgaard4867 Bruce Springsteen is indeed one ot the best. At his very first concert (1988) i ever visited it went on for nearly 4 hours (3 hours 45 minutes) . At one point the whole band left the stage and he himself stood there with just a accoustic guitar playing covers songs from the beatles and if remember correctly Dire Straits and others. I will never forget that and the whole stadium (50.000 people) was just mesmerized. Man that was just magical. I have been to 4 other concerts from him but they were always about 3 hours long.
Not true, you could say she is one of the absolutely best active, but Kate Bush, Nina Hagen and a couple of others could easily giver her a run for the money and even beat her when they where active.
Floor é foda, pra mim ela é a vocalista femenina mais VERSÁTIL, em uma mesma música ela alcança notas super agudas e super graves, sem contar a PERFORMANCE e presença de palco que é incrível...
Couldn't agree more! Floor obviously gets the props and credit she deserves but sometimes I feel like people tend to overlook how much better Troy has made the band as well, and dude can sing like a monster too!
I agree.not very often that anyone talks about troy.I think he brings alot to the table.whithout him nightwish would sound way more booring.and he plays whatever instrument you'll give him.floor is just crazy good,on a scale from 1-10 she is about 738516290.
This is one of the most underrated Nightwish songs ever of the post-Tarja era!! When the Dark Passion Play album was released, I used to listen to the Instrumental version of Saraha cause I was not liking the singing parts so much, but I just wanted to listen to the instrumental composition that I thought was terrific. But oh god I love this now!!!
Same here, DPP & Imaginaerum I mostly listen to the instrumental versions which makes the listener appreciate more the orchestra, choir, & the instrument solos of each member. Annette honestly has a very soothing & lovely voice for the ballad songs. Ballads suits more her voice than the metal songs.
There's no comparison possible. Floor mops the floor with both of them. Vocal range, technique, power, stamina, stage presence, charisma, leadership, actitud, humbleness. If anything bad is she couldn't join earlier.
What a great song! The beginning sounds a bit happy and then…the oposite. The music sounds darker and heavyer. I haven’t heard Annette’s version so no opinion about that but this version of Floor is fantastic. She sounds dark and knows exactectly when to use the darkness in her voice and when not. I know for shure that Floor studies the lyrics of every song and knows when to give rhe right amount of emotion at the right time in the song. That is not just singing a song that is singing on a high trained level with this incredible good band besides her. This makes Nightwish so so good. I’ve heard Tarja’s songs and love specially Walking In The Air. That song was made for Tarja but Floor….wow, you are perfect for Nightwish. Perfect match. What a highly skilled band. I love them! ❤️
I have found and enjoyed much of Tarja's music after Nightwish. Floor IS perfect for Nightwish. Best singer I have ever heard, but Tarja is great too. See "Crimson Deep", "Dark Star", go from there.
This is one of the things that I love so much about Nightwish: most bands only use guitars and drums. Nightwish is not afraid to experiment with other, more exotic instruments. Really nice performance!
When I listen to songs like Sahara, 7 Days To The Wolves, I Want My Tears Back, Last Ride Of The Day, and especially The Poet And The Pendulum with Floor Jansen as singer I can't help but wonder if Tuomas had Floor's voice in his mind when he composed most of the songs of DPP and Imaginaerum. Floor raises the songs from these two albums to a whole different level. It's amazing, and I'm so glad to be able to listen to these live versions.
She is a brilliant vocalist. I love the darkness of rock opera. But so beautiful. These guys are the best. It's like they invented a new genre. Very enjoyable, refreshing change and yet so familiar. Been done but not on this scale before.
A ballad of dark queen echoes through night As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh`s wrath 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen Ancient mariner in a sea of sand The burning beauty his tomb to die for 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen Horizon`s swarming with death Run! Heaven has a darkened face Dunes are soaring, as on a chase Caravan of the cursed Chasing him across the waves May he now rest under aegis of mirage As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen
Only just got into Nightwish(at 50 years young) what a road of discovery awaits, love the complexity, power , talent and great song writing, I think Boba Olli must be joking or fishing for reaction great live act all round, this from a Rush and Pink Floyd fan....Peace
Wow, all of them, damn good musicians. :Listen to this drummer. Spot on. Those guitarists, the keyboard player. Man, this is quality. And ofcourse Floor with her wonderful and powerful voice. 👌
I wouldn't want to arm wrestle Kai, the drummer. The workout he gets on those drums is amazing. Thank you Nightwish and the dedicated army. Sahara is a song I like more and more every time I hear it.
they do it because they especially love performing in these "little" venues. They said this more than one time - especially the crowd in south america is always really special :)
In the US it's a case of supply and demand. There isn't much demand, for reasons that are lost on me, so the supply equates. But what you say doesn't apply in the UK right now. Just two shows in 2020, both in the south of the country. I'm told they are having trouble finding promoters elsewhere. What?
I wrote to their management and that was their reply. I think the problem is that the LG Arena and Manchester Arena are too big and they probably lost money last time. They need smaller venues, 10,000 capacity or so, which don't exist, or play two nights at a larger city centre venue, which they probably won't do. I wrote to Manchester Arena all the same and asked them to book them. Suggest you do the same in Birmingham? Make a case. not just a plea!
There isn't a Nightwish song that hasn't been made better by Floors vocal tracks! She is an absolute bad-ass! Thank you so much Nightwish for the endless hours of entertainment:)
I thought it was an old song, from the time of Tajra ... when I checked and listened studio version... suprise. Floor gave this song new life and new value. She is perfect for Nightwish.
Floor and Tarja yeah but I think Anett Olson don’t fit to nightwish, sounds not like nightwish.... Tarja and Floor are very good in the deeper tones and have much bass in the voice, I think Anett doesn’t have it.....
As much as Floor is a complete, and total bad ass, Kai is awesome! His consistency, his timing, is absolutely amazing! When I was touring, I was privileged to play with two great drummers... And I'll tell you, if you don't have a good drummer it ruins everything! But, even though they were great drummers, we still messed with them, you know the stupid jokes, "What do you call someone who hangs around four musicians... A drummer. lol Or, "What was the first thing that was said after the drummer said they had an idea... You're fired. lmao I would have never even contemplated telling such a joke if I had the privilege of playing with such a great musician as Kai Hahto. And Nightwish is child's play for this man... The band had a lot of wisdom when they brought in Floor, Troy, and eventually Kai. The line up is fantastic! Nightwish has never kicked so much ass:)
One of my favorite Nightwish songs for running. I just saw Nightwish in ATL live and Floor was most impressive...maybe they will go redo some old stuff with floor in studio.
you're not alone in that request. In their current "Decades" tour they are playing a lot of songs who have been played for ages and they are going to release a live cd/dvd from this tour. I guess this is close as we are going to get to see that wish granted.
You marvelous...beautiful people!! How do they do it? Floor is amazingly good on this song! Remember Anette..this is one of my many favorite Nightwish songs!
I love how Nightwish actually look like they're having fun on the stage. I think that's the most important aspect for any live performing band, that they actually enjoy it themselves.

Well... Who doesn't like being on stage with Nightwish?
Man, Floor is an absolute goddess. In fact, every member of this band brings their A game to the show.
They have nothing but "A" game. Incredible gathering of musicians!
I agree with you!!!
@@chadbennett7873 ööooo
No one talking about the cute smile Tuomas gave at 1:08? He's genuinely happy and enjoying the gig. Love it.
Tuomas is not only the leader of the band, but he's also it's backbone, with his amazing song writing. Love his smile on this performance.
Floor it's not just a GREAT singer, she's a GREAT performer and entertainer. She knows exactly what she have to do on the stage. Just awesome.
Cannot get enough of this woman
Marc luckily there's a lot of Floor ;-)
Me neither.
Everyone wants moor floor
Emppu always has a smile for the crowd. The best!
Floor is supreme perfection, she's so Wonderful , The Best Singer of all time.❤❤ Nightwish the Best Band in the Universe
I totally love this band! They rock
I absolutely love their music they're definitely the masters of Symphonic metal🎸 🇨🇾easily the best Symphonic metal band of all time
FLOOR The best female vocalist of all time!
Floor is a rockstar:) The best in the business!
Not true, you could say she is one of the absolutely best active, but Kate Bush, Nina Hagen and a couple of others could easily giver her a run for the money and even beat her when they where active.

Not the best, but DAMN good
This women is perfection to my ears 👍❤
Pretty good on the eyes too
They could not have done better than Troy and Floor. Perfect additions. Band is better than ever.
unquestionably..
A new level ... amazing!
Couldn't agree more! Floor obviously gets the props and credit she deserves but sometimes I feel like people tend to overlook how much better Troy has made the band as well, and dude can sing like a monster too!

Great song. Floor takes it to a whole other level
Way up there in my top 10
Meadows of heaves, Cadence of her last breath, and Eva sound amazing and beauty with Anette Voice... But I agree, that transition was strange
Same here, DPP & Imaginaerum I mostly listen to the instrumental versions which makes the listener appreciate more the orchestra, choir, & the instrument solos of each member.
Annette honestly has a very soothing & lovely voice for the ballad songs. Ballads suits more her voice than the metal songs.
I love Sahara so much. I was so happy when I found out they brought it back after a long time of not playing it
This song was so underated and this performance just perfect 👌
I keep watching it over & over
There's no comparison possible. Floor mops the floor with both of them. Vocal range, technique, power, stamina, stage presence, charisma, leadership, actitud, humbleness. If anything bad is she couldn't join earlier.
Exactly
Just another fantastic performance!!! Everything Nightwish has done since Floor joined the group as been awesome:)

I think Sahara tends to run under the radar. I just love those chord progressions and key changes. They give so much character to this song.
the atmospheric sounds are incredible, definitely a very underrated song on the Nw catalogue
I wasn't expecting Floor to sound this good on an Anette classic, but props, Floor. You kept the original sound and added some nice changes, too! 🙂
The Floor is more than life. Look at her. She is The One.💖💖
C'est rien à dire et rien à faire... incroyable Floor Jansen ! Incroyable great femme hollandais... 🔥
Nightwish is awesome and just shows fans whenever they can show their skills!
Just amazing version! Floor is the queen! Sooo deep, so emotional and powerful!
Floor is a true metal goddess!! Amazing! Love this song 🤘🤘🎼
Floor from angelic voice to queen of metal. Love her! Best voice ever.
OMG Marco's vocals, they blend in so well
Floor’s fantastic... love her.
This is the new Golden Age of Nightwish, with Floor!
This is one of the things that I love so much about Nightwish: most bands only use guitars and drums. Nightwish is not afraid to experiment with other, more exotic instruments. Really nice performance!
unfortunately they're "experimenting" 80% of the time.
Troy has a Bazouki here, I think, doubled up strings.
Wait until your hear the "Ovarian Pipes"!
@@stpfs9281 They are called Ullean pipes.
When I listen to songs like Sahara, 7 Days To The Wolves, I Want My Tears Back, Last Ride Of The Day, and especially The Poet And The Pendulum with Floor Jansen as singer I can't help but wonder if Tuomas had Floor's voice in his mind when he composed most of the songs of DPP and Imaginaerum.

Yes, Tuomas found his shangri-la when Floor joined Nightwish 🙏😊👍❤️
Fits so well in her voice
OH. I DIDN'T KNOW IF I'D EVER HEAR FLOOR SING SAHARA. I'M GLAD THAT SHE DID.
I was at this show!!! I hope they come back here soon!
She is a brilliant vocalist. I love the darkness of rock opera. But so beautiful. These guys are the best. It's like they invented a new genre. Very enjoyable, refreshing change and yet so familiar. Been done but not on this scale before.
This is my favorite song..I love you..Nightwish !!
A ballad of dark queen echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh`s wrath
1001 nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
Ancient mariner in a sea of sand
The burning beauty his tomb to die for
1001 nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
Horizon`s swarming with death
Run!
Heaven has a darkened face
Dunes are soaring, as on a chase
Caravan of the cursed
Chasing him across the waves
May he now rest under aegis of mirage
As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields
1001 nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
1001 nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
wow... Band is HUGE!! And great Troy as second guitar!!
completely mesmerizing
Once again Floor demonstrates its greatness. You are BIG Floor Jansen !!
My favorite song of the album. Even better live with Floor. Glad to see that intro guitar solo live as well.
I love the sound that Troy is making with the guitar! Awesome song!
I was at this show back in 2016. I even got to meet Charlotte Wessells of Delain earlier in the day. Gosh I want to see this band again.
Only just got into Nightwish(at 50 years young) what a road of discovery awaits, love the complexity, power , talent and great song writing, I think Boba Olli must be joking or fishing for reaction great live act all round, this from a Rush and Pink Floyd fan....Peace
Same here! And I turn 60 next month!
It's never too late to discover beauty lads.

Best Band on Planet!
don't miss your performances as much as the soul the occasion you provide a clarity of execution, I loved it. Thank you!

Wow, all of them, damn good musicians. :Listen to this drummer. Spot on. Those guitarists, the keyboard player. Man, this is quality. And ofcourse Floor with her wonderful and powerful voice. 👌
Just Wow! Her voice and performance is sublime.
I love this song so much
I was at this show! So happy to see it make the new Blu-Ray!
What is a live show like does she engage with the crowd
Wait, what? What Blu-Ray this is on???
Floor looks and sounds amazing !!
2.45-3.30 is fucking amazing!!! Floor is a goddess, Thomas is a genius. Nightwish forever!
what a woman! what a voice!

Please, please come to the U.S.A. again!! Come and do a show at Sprint Center in Kansas, City MO!! You guys are incredible!!
Clay Lee too big for them
@@markmichel3855 It shouldn't be,

Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Nightwish?
Sweet Floor, make me immortal with a kiss.
floorgasmic once again
Floor you are so powerful and great. Nobody is better than you. I hope you you give us for more time this luck. Thanks for all🙏🙏
You do have to respect a band that while raising the roof at a full Wembley then go and play in such obviously smaller venues to reach their fans.
True, they don't have to tour here at all. Honestly at this point they don't even need the U.S. They do it for us and also because they enjoy it.
they do it because they especially love performing in these "little" venues. They said this more than one time - especially the crowd in south america is always really special :)

Love when Tuomas and Floor headbang in sync lol 3:06

I love her voice :3

A song from the time of annette, it was written for her
No she didn't.
Underrated song.
Just Perfect!!!
I've been waiting for a good live video of this song, one of my favorites and most underrated from Nightwish. Floor made it possible :)
Флор божественна!..
This is my new favorite song by NW tbh. I never knew it existed, so perfect😭
the best live performance in history, change my mind.
Watch the live at Wacken 2013, and you might change your mind :P
@@fabiomancinelli1248 Nightwish mastered time travel. They're really all one performance.
Can't wait for them to tour again..please do many shows in America-US..we love Y'all so much
Big stage or small, they can do it. Saw then on the small stage second row in Spokane, WA. I hope I can see them again sometime.

Floor and Tarja yeah but I think Anett Olson don’t fit to nightwish, sounds not like nightwish.... Tarja and Floor are very good in the deeper tones and have much bass in the voice, I think Anett doesn’t have it.....
Oh hell yeah! Floor totally rocks this song
so underrated song, loooooove it! Hope they play it again live
