      @@teckreactions Yeah, I was there. First of all, you are absolutly right about the drums. Second, even Floor was with the band for about 9 month at this point, this was the first time she played with Nightwish to a middle european crowd. Before this they played USA, South America then a break and after that a few shows in Britain. If it would not have been for my girlfriend at the time, I would have missed this show laying drunk in the tent. I listened to Nightwish early in their career but quit when Tarja left, because for me Annette did had the voice for this shit. I am so glad that I was a witness to this feckin amazing evening. Floor took our hearts within seconds, and I was in awe for most of the time. I remember my jaw hurting from standing whide open most of the time.

    She is good, alright.
    But it is *SO* satisfying when it is recognized that Nightwish actually consists of instrument players too. I'm loving it when you count the time signatures (lots of pleasant surprises there!) and/or praise the sound of Jukka's toms. Keep watching - and listening to him. Visually, he is a beast!

      Wow that’s impressive. I’m 69 and agree that Nightwish got me through the crappy times. I have Parkinson’s and it manifests itself by reducing production of dopamine in the brain. This causes rigidity usually more on one side than the other. There are many other issues where bodily functions normally controlled by the autonomic nervous system stop working reliably. You feel like shit every day, because the meds don’t always work. That often causes you to cancel plans you may have made.
      Nightwish literally caused me to make dopamine. Listening to them every day gave me hope that I could thrive with this condition

    Despite the story that many try to sell, for whatever reason, Floor was a well-known singer long before she joined Nightwish. Her first band, After Forever, shared a lot of the same fans with Nightwish and even toured Europe opening for Nightwish. Her second band, reVamp, was also very active in the European festival circuit. Combined with her appearances on Arjen Lucassen's projects, people knew who she was. In fact, when Tarja, Nightwish's first vocalist, left the band, Floor was a fan favorite to be her replacement. So, yeah...this was perhaps the first time many had seen/heard Floor with Nightwish, they were still well aware of her from her previous work. Note the huge roar of applause she got when she walked out on stage...before she'd even sung a note...because fans knew her and knew how perfect she was for Nightwish.

(and considering that less that 2 years earlier she was seriously thinking about quitting music. What a moment that had to have been for her to walk out on that state.

You can watch old videos of her other other bands After Forever and Disdain, all her Nightwish concert videos, all her solo stuff, Dutch Beste Zangers 2019, German Sing Meinen Song 2022, her cover songs, her solo concerts, etc. and she always has them on.

    Wacken sold out a year in advance that year. At the time the NW lead singer was Anette Olzon. She didn't capture the magic or imagination of most fans but we were loyal. When it was announced in 2012 that she had been fired, I was apprehensive as to where the new singer would take us. Floor was hired to finish the tour. I had seen her in another band and she was great - but you never know how a singer and a band will mesh until you see them together. Seeing how they came out of the gate was both mesmerizing and exhilarating. We knew we had to keep her by the end of the concert. Floor was everything we wanted and so much more. Apparently she meshed with the band behind the scenes as well. They called her "professional" and she referred to them as her brothers of the band. Floor made the effort that they appreciated. Although a Finnish band, they sometimes speak English to the non-Finns because learning Finnish is extremely difficult. Floor made the effort and with their guidance learned how to communicate with them. It impressed them. Floor's work ethic also matched the band's which also impressed them.

    I love your analysis, your breakdown of rhythms, time signatures, instrumentation, vocals. "Dark Chest of Wonders" is the most amazing opening to the best concert ever (I only wish I'd been there; they captured lightning in a bottle). The lyrics are perfect; "Fly to a dream, Far across the sea, all the burdens gone, Open the chest once more..." That's This Concert! over 82,000 people (many actually flew across the sea), left all their burdens behind, and Nightwish opened this Dark Chest of Wonders for them!
    Floor's vocals and presence are mind-bendingly amazing; life changing. I know several opera singers; top-tier classically trained vocalists who studied since they were kids and sing with opera companies like LA Opera and The Metropolitan Opera. They love Floor yet are angry at how they were trained (and at the opera world). They were told to never do what Floor has successfully done for over 20 years because singing in any style besides classical would ruin their voices. Floor is a true dramatic soprano with a powerful, rich, emotive voice that can sing over, or cut through, a full classical orchestra, yet she also brilliantly sings in almost every other style; everyone can hear that after 2 decades her voice is still pristine. These classical singers have reached the height of their profession yet they're paid next to nothing. They wish they'd been trained like Floor, want to study with Floor, listen to Floor, and because of Floor and Nightwish 2 started a Symphonic Metal Band.
    Finally, Emppu has those extra picks because he'll toss the one he's using to some lucky person in the audience; he then grabs a new one. All these musicians are masters and they're so integrated and perfect it's unbelievable. Floor's talent is prodigious, and the same goes for Marko, Jukka, Troy, and then there's Tuomas, the amazing composer and keyboardist, but go to guitar forums and you'll see how many guitarists are trying to copy Emppu; they listen to his remarkable tone and playing on songs like "Yours is an Empty Hope" and still can't figure it out. That's Nightwish.

    I saw this show, same set list and tour, in Melbourne, Australia. I can't remember if it was before or after the Wacken show but I do know it was Marko's birthday. We were so uncertain going in because we had never heard Floor sing. Hell, I don't think I had seen more than just a photo of her. We were spoiled by having a great local band start the night then an incredible set from Sabaton which blew our minds. Then Nightwish came out and completely melted our faces with this opener. Imagine this stunning 6+ foot goddess striding out onto the stage and belting out this and windmilling her way into all of our hearts in one song. This was in a venue with no more than a thousand people and the whole band were putting just as much energy out as they did for the Wacken show. Man, that voice and her presence at such close proximity will curl your eyebrows and destroy your trousers. Every single person left that show in love.

    Full tech show absolutely. Nightwish manages almost all aspects of their tour and shows (big and small) with a dedicated support crew, aka "Crewish" .
    The video and sound production for this and other concerts and documentaries are their own as well, and you will see the Director's name pop up all through most of it.

    Hi Matt Teck. Thanks very much for the great reaction. Have you considered inviting your Daughter onto a Nightwish reaction video to see what she makes of them? There are a few other reaction channels that are either Dad and Daughter, or one of my personal favourites (3 Generations React). Just an Idea. My 19 year old daughter has also become a fan through hearing me listen to Nightwish and Nightwish reactions. We went to our first Nightwish concert together at the back end of 2022 at London, Wembley Arena. Even this morning as I was listening to this very reaction, she came to me and said she'd just found a video with Floor doing lots of different endings to Ghost Love Score, and I dipped off to watch that before finishing this reaction. Keep enjoying the reactions. I actually like the idea of picking them out of the hat live :) Kind regards from the UK.

      ua-cam.com/video/yAyFyEFoZvs/v-deo.htmlsi=pOQ21211g1lhoR0n
      It's from Skalmold, an Icelandic metal band who played with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and this is f*cking awesome. If you want to see a crowd of metalhead suspended to the oboist's notes, you definitely should listen to this song.
