I think the way Emppu shifted to the tapping technique in the final solo really let him pay tribute to the Gilmore original on the slide guitar without copying it, making it less of a cover and more of a tribute. I LOVE the way he interpreted Gilmore in this song. This song is one of the better answers to the question, "how good a guitarist is Emppu?"
And a big hand for the Nightwish technical crew, they always make the best possible sound for these video's and let's not forget the camera crew, lichting etc, always extremely well done!
A lifelong Pink Floyd fan (from syd barrett daze) became a Nightwish fan after he heard this and made me play it back to him three times! Emppu has an EVP-1 custom guitar here. ESP, I think. Even David Gilmour really likes this tribute!
Marko....the man, the myth, the legend.

When you think a cover could not get any better than the original. Then Nightwish cover it😍
cover? It is a Tribute! The best!
My hair stands up when I hear this song. Just the power of Marco's voice is amazing. The whole song is a testament to the greatness of Nighwish.
I loved Pink Floyd but this tribute takes this song up a notch or two. Nice reaction.

love Marco and Nightwish
Emppu plays a ESP EV-1 Guitar, a custom version of ESP's Horizon Guitar series.
there is a cool video showing their equipment. Emppu's guitar doesn't have a tone knob. thougth that was interesting.
The original is nostalgia for times past. This one is pure rage against the passing of time. Brilliant.
You nailed it. British Melancholy ratcheted up to Finnish anguish and regret.
Very much the difference between admiring the sunset and raging against the dying of the light.

Emppu the guitar wizard 🤘
Amazing Marko ❤️🙏❤️
Never tire of this performance. Supreme musicians giving a tribute to Floyd.
Always a day made better, listening to Marko sing!
So So Wonderful... The original is fantastic but I must admit... I love this tribute just as much ❤
You know the Pink Floyd Original. ? And this is a Tribute from one awesome Band to another awesome Band.
I also love Pink Floyd. But high hopes is one of there less exciting songs. But Nightwish gave it excitement and guts love it!. Thank you.
I miss Marco at Nightwish.
Hi DJ this is such a beautiful tribute, one of my favorite Nightwish performances with Marko killing it❣️
I have read somewhere, that David Gilmore has credited this as the best cover of this number....and I agree...😍
Empu uses his whammy bar at the end of solo meant as show of respect to David Gilmour. Im 72 and love this band.

Wow, nearly 9 hours and still no one claiming Jukka was having a migraine...must be the new YT record
and Marko was sick aswell
Nightwish has the ability to make a cover track seem like they wrote it themselves :-)
Greetings from UK 😊
For me, this song never gets old...
They wanted to tribute PF with this awesome heavier NW version and showed amazing talent too.
