This whole concert is amazing g...as I have the 2 CD and DVD collection in my SUV and the DVD ready to watch the concert whenever I feel in the mood! As for music suggestions..check out the recently released music video "Left on Mars" by Marko featuring Tarja! It's fantastic. As for more NIGHTWISH songs....if you haven't reacted to "Elan" ....the Music Video is fantastic. Troy plays his pipes and a tin flute ( trying to figure out what Troy can't play is hard! ). Also...react to "Kiss. While Your Lips Are Still Red" Marko is lead vocalist and Troy plays his large Mandolin ( I know it has a different name ) and he uses an "Ebow"... It's a very emotional song!

The Decades World Tour was in 2018. The tour DVD was released in 2019. Hence people get the year wrong. One of my favourite live performances ever, video or in situ. Great reaction, thank you.

Here’s some stuff I read. Floor had 48 hours to prepare for the Waken concert. She’s a cancer survivor. She was seven months pregnant during one show. (Image what her daughter will be like.) Backstage at a concert she saw Hannes Van Dahl of Sabaton drinking whiskey and she asked for some. Then she asked if he would share a cigar. He’s like “A rock goddess who likes whiskey and cigars? I have to marry her.” And they did it. Got married I mean. But that was later. What else they did that night is nobody’s business but their own.😊

30 September 2018, actually. This is the best performance of IWMTB and at the best overall concert.pity you cut off Marcos final comment - "It's a tango country". Troy is the leading exponent of the Uilleann Pipes since the great Paddy Maloney died. Floor's outfit is a custom-made one off by Royal Black Couture in Austria who undertook never to make another. The audience is phenomenal. Tuomas says the South American audience is the most enthusiastic. Here's what Marco says about touring South America... MARCO: "Floor handled it the best. When the fans were wreaking havoc at the hotel lobby, she just sternly said: " Hey, people, it doesn't work like this - please get in line, and everybody will get their photo and autograph." I'll be damned the disorderly fans actually obeyed her. That's a huge accomplishment in South America"

[@WardDorrity]

Happy dancing Floor is a force of nature.

[@APMM58]

It's heartwarming to see how enthusiastic you are, and we are too. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done Claire and welcome to the Nightwish Family

[@roy19491]

Floor is definitely the Valkyrie Goddess......remember that she's over 6 feet tall, weighs around 80 kilos, wearing heels, and dancing around the way she did........

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

she is 6'1 or 1m84 tall and weighs 65 to 70 kilo.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

Wonderfull reaction. You understand the Band, and the crowd. And you right, Floor is on fire, and Troy😊👍🤘

[@BillP-tr6fm]

The musicianship is amazing and so is the crowds reaction !!

[@ClaireHoldich]

Spot on Bill! Wishing you a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@andreasjansen6895]

Love that sign in the back 'That one time at Band Camp' 😂

[@ClaireHoldich]

Haha, yes that's from one of my long time supporters and a fellow child of the 80s! 🤣

[@robertsheeler321]

Fantastic reaction. Thank you

[@ClaireHoldich]

Fantastic reaction deserves a fantastic viewer like you! Thank you, and have a flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@playerone1249]

You are genuine and interesting, both same time. And that's very very rare amongst all content creators. Thank you so much for your new video 😊

[@ClaireHoldich]

That's very kind of you, thank you! I hope you enjoy my other rections and covers too. Wishing you a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@Alicatt1]

Great review, now going to check the rest of your works :) The last concert of Nightwish I was at was at Gelsenkirchen in Germany, when they played this Emppu and Jukka both cleared the stage to give Floor the room to dance across the stage. At this point Floor was 6months pregnant and giving it her all, it was an amazing night at the open air venue on the banks of a canal with the barges passing behind the stage, magical and a day that will be hard to beat, my wife who is not a Nightwish fan bought the tickets for us for my birthday.

[@ClaireHoldich]

Thanks for watching and sharing and I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel. Wishing you a most Flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@WILD35]

WOW is very over the top I thought we are mad fans

[@ClaireHoldich]

I think we could give them a run for their money Wild! 🤣

[@rickphil9999]

Hello again, Claire. Loving your Nightwish reactions and really appreciate the expertise you provide in your reactions. Yes, Floor teasing the audience into a frenzy before it got going was wonderful to see. She is a master at commanding the stage and her audience. This was such a fun performance. And this entire concert is fantastic. Thank you.

[@ClaireHoldich]

You're so welcome, thank you! Wishing you a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@leemarinus]

Love seeing an Irish lass goin' native!🎉❤

[@mattilindstrom]

Madme, I like your reaction. The conclusion that the band is giving and receiving energy is spot on. And the South American audiences are are next level, view it any way you want.

[@jompuusi]

Greetings from Finland ❤

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This sounds cold, but it's not. You are absolutely right. When a right band and right audience meet, magic happens. That's happened there. Well, l've seen Nightwish doing this live, so...

[@TKJ56]

You would probably like "Elan" from this same concert

[@treintje1001]

It’s a tango country… 😉

[@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614]

Just take a look at the opening song from this concert: Swanheart… The South American audience is known for being “direct” if they do not get what they expect 😅 And Troy starting with a beautiful slow melody on his low whistle, then managing to quickly change to the uillean pipes. You can see the confusion in the audience. I think it it Troy humor, like playing the Titanic tune when performing on a cruise ship (The Nightwish tour on “the Baltic Princess” in 2015)

[@PomLimey]

Nice reaction! You make such an important point regarding the exchange of energy. I know from back in the day when I was with various bands the importance of feeding off the audience’s energy. Some nights we played great, but something was missing. But when the audience was up for it, it made for a great night. Nightwish will always get that energy because their songs are such crowd pleasers. The best audiences in the world must be in South America. They are just awesome!

[@ClaireHoldich]

Feeding off that audience vibe is like musical fuel, it can take a good show to a great one in an instant. Thank you for your comment and I hope you have a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@AntaryDraconis]

nice, thank you 😉 greetings from NW-Army-Germany and SabatonFan

[@davidhill7055]

Yes…. Floor does look fierce in that ‘battle goddess’ outfit.

[@strabel803]

👍Hi Claire,You know,isn't it special and funny in a way,that a band like Nightwish has so much reactions from different kind of musicians,i really think that Troy is such a"great "asset" for them,it gives the band so much more possibilities in mixing up styles with metal. Why is the fanbase so great ? I think because of the great diversity of people,it's musicians of all kind,people of all ages and the vibe of Nightwish atracts people who like energy and emotions wich,give us good feelings. Greetings from Spain.🤘

[@ClaireHoldich]

Your insights are spot on! It's amazing how Nightwish brings together people from all walks of life. Greetings from across the globe! 😄🙏

[@rickd8024]

Great! Thank you.

[@ClaireHoldich]

You're welcome, thank you for watching! Have a flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@thorgodofthunder6455]

Well said

[@SatuMSJaaskelainen-le4sc]

Wow!❤

[@ingesprangers4572]

Thank you for your reactions. It's good to get some attention on troy. He is amazing. Mabey you will like elvenjigg/elvenpath. The first part was written for troy to show his stuff. Hope to see more from you soon.

[@TheRealRedAce]

Uilleann is pronounced something like "illen". It means "elbow" in Irish. I haven't heard of Troy playing a flute, but he plays various whistles along with the pipes and guitars.

[@TheDuikboot]

Claire, TY for your great NightWish reaction(s)

[@ClaireHoldich]

You're very welcome, thank you!! Wishing you a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@randalladams7692]

New fan, your cool and love your inputs this is my fav band,I got tears need more were all a family

[@ClaireHoldich]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy my other Nightwish reactions too, and my cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKGzcmeQnt2qY7Msi=ewuL3QeKZW9J9QlD. Wishing you a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@toned-fcreations5522]

If you want to hear another song with Celtic theme try Harvest from their virtual concert. Troy is the lead vocalist also.

[@marinaa.6140]

😍👋👋🇫🇮

[@davestubbs7274]

Great reaction 😊👍

[@ClaireHoldich]

Thank you Dave, wishing you a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@randalladams7692]

Need to do my Walden troy plays the tin whistle and the flute and pipes keep rocking

[@ClaireHoldich]

Already have, here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIDQZ5J4nrCei5Ysi=KtjhqPeg9gMbIjpu. Wishing you a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@noname-xw4uk]

🎉🎉🎉

[@user-ki3wf3kn5s]

Loving your reaction ❤ Floor knows how to play the crowd ❤ Fantastic hoe the pipes fit in❤

[@ClaireHoldich]

Floor's stage presence is next level, right? It's like she has a secret recipe for captivating the audience. And those pipes? Pure musical magic! Wishing you a most Flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@avoiceuk]

If you want more of Troy and even more complex duelling between pipes and guitar check out Troy’s previous band Iona. They used to have flute/sax, pipes and guitar all in unison in one incarnation of the band. They had a more Celtic prog feel and the Guitarist is mind blowing.

[@wannabedane4046]

Hello Claire, greetings from Denmark. Now subscribed. Another enjoyable reaction. New Nightwish album will drop this year. I have send you a suggestion for a reaction to one of Floor's mentor and friend's project - Ayreon

[@ClaireHoldich]

Hi, ooo can't wait for the new album! And I have some Ayreon reactions already, here's one for you to check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/namoenyNaLmjhrcsi=e4v6mTfFPYwCETYu Wishing you a most flutifull day! 😄🙏

[@VXGaming]

The night that couldn't contain both Floors.

[@damienmaynard8892]

The movie "Nightwish: Imaginaerum" is very interesting and the music is, of course, captivating. Latin-American crowds are...!!!!!! Definitely shows live is best! Troy is in the movie without his beard! Thank you for this!

[@oldtraveler6966]

Nightwish Army Sweden reporting for duty. Lucky you, there is so much to discover. you have no idea. Welcome.

[@fearisachoiceyouembrace]

"Floor is on fire"- Yes, she had high fiever the day before. But rumours say she gets on stay ill, and leaves it in full health 😂

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

BA audiences go nuts for NW.

[@davidhill7055]

Sometimes Troy is referred to as the Bard… an ancient Celtic minstrel poet, traveling between villages telling stories, playing various instruments, and entertaining the villagers.

[@youtubesucksforforcingthis]

... I teared up after watching you watch the intro. It's like seeing something you care about so much doing something glorious. Watching all those people jumping up and down in unison... it's nice seeing your passion celebrated by any one person of consequence, but an entire crowd thoroughly enjoying it? Crave
