Hello Presto Ernesto [ @PRESTO-ERNESTO ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. I'm glad that WILKSHAKE introduced you and Chelsea to this band, I hope it will be just the beginning of the exploration for you. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
Gabriel must have posted the wrong comment, not Wacken,part of the video is from last summer and the place where the landscape photos and fireworks were from is from Kitee, Nightwish's birthplace. Kitee had 12,000 spectators (2 x the city's population) Floor was very pregnant, and after the gig the next day she was hospitalized, luckily nothing serious. @@PRESTO-ERNESTO
@@AH-li7ef I checked now - yes you are right. I remember that they posted the same reaction in 2 YT channels, here and at Wilkshake, but I was left with the impression (wrong, obviously) that it was GLS, not Tribal. Sorry.
Check out Nightwish. They don't do bad songs. Ghost Love Score from wacken 2013 is the most famous song and performance from them. For good reasons. Then the greatest show on earth, or the poet and the pendulum, or Romanticide, or take your pick. Read the lyrics beforehand. And when you really dig this stuff, you should also check out Ayreon from the Dutch composer Arjen Lucassen. He and Tuomas from Nightwish ( and Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree) are the modern days Mozarts and Beethovens. And should be remembered and honoured as such.
Lmao! Ik some of us are very intense, but there's usually some extreme opposites even among us. 😂 God knows I've fought with NW fan and I've followed this band since they started. And as a Finnish I really couldn't even dodge this band in late 90's

Only thing, though, is they're not "weird" as you suggested. If you ever could meet them in person, as many of their fanbase (including me) have, you would be amazed at what totally normal, "unweird," thoughtful, humble, professional, intelligent, and well-read human beings they are. That's part of the reason this fanbase is so dedicated to defending their honor whenever we think we hear any wrong assumptions. It is because we know a bit about the real people behind the stage personas. Thumbs up! :)

Nice ....thanks!!!
@@PRESTO-ERNESTO I always like to give little "behind the scenes" tidbits about Nightwish whenever I can! 🙂
Ghost love score, please. And Your's is an empty hope to contrast GLS.
Are you kidding WILKSHAKE?
