I was fortunate enough to see her live when she was in After Forever. Small venue, everybody singing along and suddenly everyone got silent while she sang. No one dared to ruin the moment. One of my fondest memories of a concert.

[@gsparkman]

Orchestral backing track is composed by Tuomas Holopainen (keyboardist and band founder), and recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra (including choir). If this was the only show Nightwish did they could have performed with orchestra, and that would be grand. But logistically and financially, the idea of touring worldwide with a hundred-member orchestra is out of the question, and would severely limit the venues in which they could perform. As much as we'd love to see it, we have to accept the recorded orchestral backing.

[@cproteus]

Yup. Large venues like the ones they play are poorly suited to ideal acoustic accompaniment. It’s best to have the instruments indoors.

[@GenXMetal_Head]

We need a single performance put together with that effort. Would make a good filming and I am sure the ticket and video revenue would pay for everything.

[@Enochulator]

Could do what Evanescence did, which was crazy... play with local orchestras. Ola Englund had a great interview with Jen Majura where she talked about the experience. Like a day of rehearsal with the orchestra, and go! Probably wouldn’t quite meet Tuomas’ standards, though...

[@Sanquinity]

@@tha2010kid Floor (main vocalist) - Probably the most talented female singer in music right now, or at least in the top 5. Marco (bassist and vocalist, but left the band not long ago) - Awesome stage presence and amazing vocals for the parts he gets to sing in other songs. Not sure about now, but in his slightly younger years he could give Floor a run for her money when it came to high notes. (phantom of the opera from end of an era) Emppu (lead guitar) - Honestly I generally don't pay much attention to him... ^^;; But whenever he does get solos he's as awesome as the rest. Tuomas (keyboard and song writer) - Can't comment on his keyboard skills as I don't know much about it, but the sheer passion, variety and talent in his song writing skills is super genius level imo. Kai (drummer) - His showmanship isn't the same as Jukka, but his technical skills are incredible. I forgot who said it, but someone said "he's like a metronome". Troy (extra piped instruments and rarely vocals) - Wasn't in this song, but he can always puts so much emotion into his pipe instruments. I personally don't like his singing that much, but his instrumental skills are top tier.

This band is from Finland. Tuomas is the keyboarder, Songwriter, composer. Marco is (was - he resigned just recently) playing the bass and doing also the vocals. He is very versatile and an awesome singer as well. You might watch „The Islander“ from Tampere to experience this. Emppu is playing the guitar. He can shred it but he always does exactly that much, that is required by the song. Kai (also Wintersun) is now at the drums and replaced the original drummer Jukka (whom you saw here) who had stop playing the drums due to health issues. But he still is with the band. Julka was a perfect drummer and showman, Kai is a perfect drummer and a machine and beast at the drums. Then there is Troy, a multi instrumentalist from England who in older performances supported the band at some tracks but became luckily a full member of the band after this tour. He‘s a great singer as well. Last but not least there is Floor, the Dutch singer. She is the bands third singer after Tarja (operatic) and Annett from Sweden (pop/rock). She can sing really everything from opera over pop/ rock to growls This gig was at Wacken. Wacken is THE metal festival worldwide. Nightwish were one of the headliners in 2013. It is in the north of Germany in a rural area. Therefore the bullhead with flames is the Wacken symbol. There are more than 80.000 metalheads having a big party each year. Here are some suggestions for your next stops: -> There are only great songs from Wacken: „Story Time“ and "Ever Dream" are catchy in a very positive way. "Song of Myself" starts catchy and ends with everyone headbanging. "Romanticide", "Last Ride of the Day" and "Ghostriver" are the heavier ones. -> "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" (Buenos Aires) will give you a metal and power blast: Maximum speed and Marco (the singing bass player) becomes Hannibal Lecter ;-) -> "Yours an Empty Hope" from Wembley (have a good look!! at the growls. You'll be surprised.) -> „Dead Boys Poem“ from Buenos Aires (so amazing and emotional) -> „Weak Fantasy“ (Tampere): Kai the beastat the drums, Troy joins in, great duets with Floor and Marco, … -> Elvenjig / Elvenpath (Buenos Aires): Awesome intro and it continues on that level -> "The greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere) is one of the two most epic songs. The title is not about the gig, but about the topic of the song: The evolution of mankind. -> "The Poet and the Pendulum“ (Wembley) is my personal absolute masterpiece of Nightwish. Be sure to know the background of this song ahead (short version see below *) ***** From the new album there are for obvious reasons no live sessions so far. For all songs there are lyric videos, except for „Noise". But maybe you'll give some songs a try as well. It's an awesome album. Definitely not an "easy" one with a lot of really unique songs, different from what is "typical" for Nightwish. Floor said that she was really challenged to sing the songs that Tuomas wrote for her. Knowing her abilities, you can imagine that they are "special“. It‘s a good idea to hear the album in the given order, but nevertheless here are some of my options to some of the songs. -->"Noise" is probably the most "typical" song and the only one with "real video". The video is great as the song itself --> "Tribal" is the heaviest one and Kai, the drummer, had to change his normal setup to be able to play it. --> "Shoemaker" (about Eugene Shoemaker) is such a heavenly and epic song with the possible epic ending. -> „Pan“ is just an amazing ride. When it starts you for a moment think you‘re listening to Floors husbands band „Sabaton“. In the song you‘ll be reminded to „Tribal“ and „Noise“. -> Procession“ a rather calm song with so amazing vocals by Floor --> "Harvest" is so different with Troy singing, that you will wonder if you're listening to Nightwish. -> „Endlessness“ is Marcos song and shows his great voice. --> "Music", „How's the Heart", ... are really cool songs as well. Of course. The album challenged Floor as singer, which is not easy to do, as she is one of the best and most versatile singers in the world. ***** If you'd like to Explore Floor on her own: Beste Zangers Just in case (which I can really recommend) you're going to do "Beste Zangers" make sure you take the clips posted by "jenniezelf" on KZbin as she has also included the talking / interviews before and after with english subtitles. The concept of the show is, that on one day all singers sing a song for one of them. It's a song that is by that singer or a song that means a lot for him / her. So it is very interesting to get to know the story behind each song. And it will help to understand the reactions of the other singers. Floor is singing there in German, Dutch, Spanis and English. Her "Phanom of the Opera" duet with Henk Poort is legendary. ***** * Backstory for „Poet and the Pendulum“ Tuomas (the keyboarder and songwriter) was in depression after the split from their first singer Tarja. He was in the position to either commit suicide in real real life or to write a song about it and die within that song. Luckily he choose the latter option. He is the poet, "killed" by the pendulum. And afterwards there is darkness, silence and just a fading heartbeat. It gives me a shiver every time. As this song is so emotional for him all the others have an eye on him. He even had his the vocals turned off in his in ears. One detail showing the ingenuity of Tuoams: Exactly three minutes after the words "Now I have only three minutes and counting" he is "killed" by the pendulum. And then everything becomes dark and there is just this fading heartbeat of the dying poet. Here is the open letter Tuomas / the band wrote towards Tarja: nightwish.fandom.com/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Tarja_Turunen And here is her response: nightwish.fandom.com/wiki/Open_Letter_from_Tarja_Turunen From what I have heard, her husband/manager was (from the bands point of view) the core of the problem. There is one song addressing him: "Master Passion Greed" They never played it live and will never do so. It is maybe their heaviest song, but for sure the most angry one. You should definitely listen to it. Greetz from a German-Dutch concert photographer

[@brewswillis9783]

Wacken is an annual metal festival in Wacken Germany and they were the main headliner in 2013. Floor Jansen (pronounced Yahn-sen) is the lead vocalist/Dutch Valkyrie Goddess, Tuomas Halopainen is the founder/keyboards and composes virtually all the tracks, Marko Hietala is the bass player and awesome vocalist in his own right, Jukka Nevalainen is the former drummer (Kai Hahto is current and was drummer for Noise) and the lead guitarist is Emppu Vuorinen. They use backing tracks recorded with philharmonic orchestras. You've only dipped your toe into the ocean of Nightwish, pretty sure you'll continue your journey down the rabbit hole. Gabriel Bardac, our Nightwish Army general should be along with history and proper links as suggestions for your path forward (I would say Storytime which is a more straightforward banger or Romanticide which is more hardcore). I already subscribed on your Noise reaction or I would sub again, nice job MrL! Oh yeah, Nightwish is a Finnish band, other than Floor. There's also Troy who is a multi instrumentalist and backing vocalist but didn't appear in this video. Looking forward to more NW!

[@Arrythmic798]

Before Floor Jansen there was Anette Olzon, who was more of a pop-style singer and struggled to perform many of the songs written until then, so the songs from her era are more of a dumbed down vocally (my opinion, Amaranth for example). Before Anette we had Tarja Turunen, with a very beautiful operatic voice much like Floor. Great example is for example the song Beauty of the Beast. I think Floor's voice is slightly heavier than Tarja's, you can fit example compare this song to their 2004 version of Ghost love score. I'm in love with the early Nightwish :) but that being said, Floor is the only substitute for Tarja that I could approve, still I would want Tarja back.

[@JJTAcc]

Unfortunately Marco Hietala resigned from Nightwish in January 2021. He leaves a tall order legacy to fill for whoever replaces him.

[@jeffwells641]

@@Arrythmic798 Floor is the perfect lead singer for Nightwish, IMO, because her voice is incredibly versatile. Like Tarja she can do the big operatic pieces, but she can flip right into a more pop style, or a more classical metal style, then back into opera. It's incredible the control she has over her voice. Plus she's huge and gorgeous, which just fits their theme so well.

[@EagleScoutmano]

The previous lead singers have already been covered by other responses, but don't go leaving Tarja out of the conversation about Nightwish... They wouldn't ever have gotten as big as they are without her unique voice (see for instance how far they've surpassed the popularity of other symphonic metal bands like Leaves Eyes, Epica, and Within Temptation). Floor is pretty dang good, too, but not quite as uniquely powerful a voice as Tarja's.

[@brewswillis9783]

@@EagleScoutmano Much respect for Tarja's talent though I would not have been a Nightwish fan during the Tarja era. Just not my style, paired with Symphonic Metal or not. That being said, if I were into operatic vocals, I would certainly be a Tarja fan.

Since you were interested in the orchestral part, this short episode from a larger documentary, describes their work with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and choirs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGHMp5WHr5h8fas All of the orchestral music and choirs are on a backing track that we hear during the performance. On top of everything else they do, they have to keep in perfect sync with the backing track for the entire song. Floor recently described what she is monitoring with her in-ears and she hears her vocals, the click track, the orchestra and choirs, keyboards, the instruments played by Troy (who you did not see in this performance) and a bit of the guitars.

The sound engineers talk in some of the album creation documentaries about over 600 tracks which need to be combined and reduced to less than the 250 so the stage equipment can handle during a concert. Of course the final album master mix need to reduce further for an album..

[@billattercliffe8655]

​@@ecbftl It was in the same documentary as the link I posted. They had over 600 tracks for the "Greatest Show on Earth" and their software had capacity for only 250. A typical pop song has 1/10th to 1/20th the amount of tracks. In "Gear Gods" we get a backstage view of the Nightwish crew and Tero showed the Pro Tools software he uses for each show. Every song that could possibly be on the setlist has a program track which has the orchestral and choral backing track, click track and the pyro all pre-programmed. He just complies the tracks according to the setlist provided and sets each one running in turn during the concert.

It's worth giving a listen to some of Nightwish's early stuff, too, back when they had Tarja as their main singer. Her voice is very operatic and helped define the band's sound in the beginning. Honestly, female-fronted symphonic metal in general is AMAZING.

[@Stranglethroat]

"And now it's a completely different song" Yeah, that's gonna happen a few times...!

[@caseyryback6932]

It is fascinating...No one I ever met, regardless of their musical taste, doesn't like Nightwhish. This band is a fucking phenomenom.

[@karlasaldate2426]

Absolutely true. Even my mom likes it lol 😂

[@jc4566]

Wacken is a festival in Germany, awesome 😎the pipes are just decorative behind are three korg keyboards 🎹, 😎👍

[@kevinsheppard507]

I have been a fan of Nightwish for about 15 years. My teenage daughter introduced me to the band by playing their rendition of the phantom of the opera. I was totally mesmerized by them then and am still mesmerized every time I hear them. They are so awesome. by far the best musically talented band ever. If you don't feel their music, you are dead!

[@laurahill9643]

"This genre needs and orchestra and choir backing it" So... your next watch is clearly Sancta Terra by Epica, right?

[@ericswannie2504]

That's what I was thinking

[@TheAssirra]

That whole concert is mind blowing.

[@Wesker6969]

I know what my next watch is🥺 ty

[@sirg-had8821]

Well now it is. Thanks for the heads up.

[@karolinak6014]

This is what you call talent AND many years of hard work and practice. Every single member of this band is a master in what they do.

[@jovetj]

And it really shows.

[@solusquinto3086]

This song gets me every time. It‘s pure beauty.

[@jovetj]

I've heard it hundreds of times, hasn't gotten old yet. It's complexity and talent keeps me completely entranced. I think I'm actually in love with Jukka (and I'm a guy).

[@martinhelgren]

This is talent + decades of hard and dedicated work. No shorts or easy ways to get as musically adept as Nightwish.

[@andrewjessup6951]

The entire Wacken show was amazing..but really any Nightwish song will do

[@Thorgrim247]

82000+ people at the Wacken Festival. Nightwish was the headliner on this stage on this, the last and main day of the 4 day festival. You obviously have a keen ear for talent and wonderful musicianship my friend. This is a unique and special song, which would only be composed by Tuomas the keyboardist of Nightwish. They use a backing track for the choirs and orchestration. Just subbed for the ride. See you soon I hope MrLboyd. Peace. ✌

[@lynnlutz9883]

Where to go next? Storytime, Romantacide, Ever Dream, Ghost River, Setting Sun, and the masterpiece Poet & The Pendulum.

[@randymarple9830]

Not Poet. Please let him get to know the band first.

[@kira_strigoi]

@@randymarple9830 this, it’s way to early for The Poet and the Pendulum. Would recommend Song of Myself first

[@astraeetje5048]

GSOE 🤔🥰

[@Llelythefallgirl]

If you do end up listening to Poet, read up on the background of it first. It's beautiful, but it hits -hard- in the emotions.

[@jonathanstrom2022]

Wacken 2013 with Nightwish is one of the best and amazing gigs ever. I have lost counts of how many times I have listen to this one.

[@rachaelhensley2786]

Nightwish Army incoming! Alaska US Division reporting for duty...keep the Nightwish coming! Anything from the Wacken 2013 concert is amazing, good place to start...Our Herald Gabriel should be along soon to give you the background of the band & tons of great suggestions. You have fallen down an amazing rabbit hole...enjoy the journey and we will be here with you. 😉

[@Milezor]

Nightwish army ! Roll out ! Let make this soul watch the best songs of Nightwish and feed on that !

[@jeffk1482]

Bruh, Nightwish Army, western NC Battalion here! Gabriel (from Romania I think) should be here shortly. (The NW Army is global) Follow his advice and roadmap; he is the official Herald of the Nightwish Army. In the meantime, congrats dude (seriously!!!) you just discovered/met one the greatest live bands that has ever, ever been...and our 6'1" Valkyrie Queen, "The Goddess" Floor Jansen. It sounds like you're hooked already...one song in. You have no idea of the rabbit hole you've tripped over and fallen into. I guarantee though you'll love every minute and be utterly amazed! Take it from me, there is no such thing as a bad Nightwish song, no such thing as a bad performance. Some you'll love more than others, but they're *all* great!!!!

[@fixxa6455]

Dutch bazooka corps reporting in

[@jeffk1482]

Happy to see you here...salute from the USA!

[@adamblyth9972]

Australian brawlers reporting for duty.

[@soumagoth9501]

I liked that fact that u were really paying attention to the song. All the good parts i wanted u to hear, u noticed them and paused to comment on them. But then again, and on a whole different note, ur voice man! Woaaaaah i could listen to u all day long! I would definitely listen to u doing some audiobook reading. Keep it going, and welcome to the Metal world \m/

[@robertsheeler321]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish & singer Floor Jansen, This is a 4 day festival and on this night they were the headliner with 82,000 there . The song "Storytime" from the same show Wacken 2013 will leave you speechless

[@weathered19]

So the Nightwish Army got to you. Well, you are welcome anytime. Floor Jansen is a f*cking incredible singer.

[@jplafontaine5445]

Nice! Was waiting for this ever since your first Nightwish reaction! 😁 Floor is an amazing vocalist! Love the reaction bro! 😁🔥

[@vlinder6329]

Thank you for this reaction, 🔥Nightwish🔥🤘 is a great band. I love it. Ghost Love Score is a 10 minute song. Stay healthy and Safe😷🍀Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱🙋🏼‍♀️🤘😘

[@Kvasaari]

Welcome to the club. I like your reactions, please keep'em coming :)

[@richardikin]

I came to Nightwish too late for this performance, but can you just imagine being there, at this most incredible moment??? WOW!

[@okiejohn3925]

"EPIC" is the word you are looking for to describe this music....

[@michaelminer514]

They are operatic in nature that's why all their songs sound so big and full. Like TSO love the music

[@mattwright8245]

I’ve been a massive fan of Nightwish for over 15 years, first with Tarja then Anette and now with Floor as vocalist. Floor absolutely nails this song - the ridiculous range she has, the stage presence is phenomenal. I don’t think you can hate this type of music, it’s a real goosebump song for me.

[@FilPol-yu1es]

Floor's Voice is Heavenly. My Favorite Singer! 👸🔥💥💫

[@Alysonmarie-2399]

Have you ever heard to tarja ?? She is billions times better than this girl .

[@frankmerris8821]

you sir dont realize it yet but are listening to the best singer and band there is. BUCKLE UP

[@richardnchase4412]

She is their third singer since the band started and this was her first time performing this particular song. It was originally performed by the bands first singer Tarja.

[@ZiggieZoo]

Tarja and Olzen are amazing as well.

[@jamesboxerelli4695]

Great reaction video! As a metal fan I love to see someone’s reaction to a metal band and see them slowly becoming a fan before our eyes! Respect 💯

[@drewcifers8thcircleofheck307]

Couple things, one I love how the 1st time listening to Nightwish is almost always an instant join of the Nightwish army. That's all it takes is one song. Other people have already hit on Floor's amazing capabilities, (they were blessed with 3 of the most amazing singers on the planet) Two, thanks for touching on the amazing talent level of Jukka. A lot of reactions for some reason ignore the insane level of talent he has, not just keeping time but playing an integral role as an instrument. Honestly from the first time I heard them (I wish I had an Angel was my first song) I was in love with this band. Tuomas is our generations Mozart, truly a world class composer. Finally, one of the things I've truly enjoyed about your videos is you keep so calm (I freakin love your voice) and have such an expressive face. Seeing the "Floorgasm" the first time you hear it is always amazing, and you may have one of the best reactions when she hits that last note with such power and emotion. Thank you, sir. It's a pleasure watching you.

[@AntonioGarcez]

Nightwish Army we have a new recruit !!!

[@Marco-Conner]

then he is welcome

[@gauchesymbiote1039]

There's this part of me that gets so overwhelmingly sad that I cannot experience this song, this performance for the first time again. Although the pure joy that I get at watching other's first reaction is almost the same.

[@wazzzzsup84]

You have to listen to their song "the greatest show on earth." Talk about a performance.

[@kitsunenokami5809]

In terms of where you are now as regards Nightwish live performances , this is step 1. Step 2 is the song "The Poet and the Pendulum" live at Wembley in London. Step 3 is "The Greatest Show on Earth" live at Tampere. From there on, choose any of their other songs performed live and sit back with your adult beverage of choice and Enjoy!

[@cproteus]

Second this emotion. ^

[@lauruts]

Way too early for poet and pendulum. You need to have more knowledge and background before it

[@jovetj]

Yep, far far too early for _Poet._ That song is so deep, *_I_* have trouble listening to it (I have to be in the right mood), and I'm not in any way involved in the band or its past drama. I do care a lot about Tuomas's tortured soul, though. Damn masterpiece of a song, just like this one is.

[@buzzy-ears]

What this song did for symphonic metal, and how much exposure it caused on the interbutts for a 20 year old genre of music, is astonishing

[@savadrow]

“I love it, I love it....I need more!” = YES 🤘🤘🤘

[@nicod1361]

btw StoryTime,Ghost River,EverDream from this amazing concert would be great choices to follow up with,keep in mind Ghost Love Score is the most reacted to song on YT with some reactors having over 2.5 Million views,yes a massive fan base on YT and growing,very passionate,and helpful.

[@gregsoto5065]

It’s called symphonic metal. The blend of the two genres by Tuomas ,the keyboardist, is pure genius and without a doubt all are extremely talented. Floor Jansen’s voice when she sings you become so enthralled. It is called a Floorgasm

[@jovetj]

Nightwish did not invent symphonic metal. But it did perfect it!

[@michachrzastowski8608]

Congatulations, you've got your first Floorgasm😎 My advice - never ever pause the video when Floor sing☝️

[@Brian-ed4jm]

There stock went up significantly after Floor joined. Amazing just Amazing. Every song is a show in itself. 🤘🤘🙌

[@schout33]

Just a warning and a Floorgasm alert. When you are watching more of Nightwish and Floor Jansen in particular, you will go down the deepest rabbit hole you can imagine. I am in there and I am loving it!!!

[@hanslaurentius2976]

Let's not forget it was a open air show, and not performed in a studio! Exact music and a unbelievable voice performance, with other words top notch , out of this world! Hopefully the show goes one , for many more years to come.......

[@lawrencewalston2272]

Welcome, brother, to the Nightwish army. After listening to "Noise" and "Ghost Love Score," you're just scratching the surface, sir. This rabbit-hole goes deep so strap in and enjoy the experience.

[@ronaldlocontijr8999]

Been following nightwish since the beginning. They are a great band and it's nice to see someone discover them like this Much love to you for putting this out there.

[@jonathanbooth8395]

Nightwish "Last ride of the day" is another fantastic song from them

[@chowrites6179]

This is called symphonic Metal and it is, imo, one of the most beautiful kinds of music ever!

[@Anrae7]

Their rendition of the phantom of the opera is absolutely captivating

[@jovetj]

Which one?! (LOL!) Marko and Tarja were phenomenal. And then there's Floor and that guy who actually played the Phantom.... Nightwish/Tuomas/Pip DEFINITELY have the best musical arrangement of that song, though!

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

Dude, I was praying that you wouldn't touch the pause button at the end of that Epic Song. Thank you very much. 😊😊😊😊☺

[@alkaline138]

Didn’t know you could comment on a Nightwish reaction video before that Romanian dude with all the great song suggestions

[@kira_strigoi]

I’m already wondering where Gabriel is, too :D

[@LLvdE]

🤣🤣🤣👌👌❤

[@christianlay7988]

"So, It's like this"? Yeah it is! Love this song.

[@hotjoose9415]

Floor has a voice that makes you want to cry in a good way. She’s soulful! I can’t quite explain it.....

[@brianwillson9567]

Not makes you want to cry, makes you cry NO CHOICE. Under spell of the goddess.

[@lilbo1Y1]

They headlined so they were the last act that day which means everyone was there to see them. All 82,000 plus of them.

[@damonbryan7232]

That's what real music does. You end up with more questions than when you started. Music is meant to be felt not just heard.

[@lillianekockritz2796]

One thing (there are many more) I love about Nightwish is it all about the music. All members of the band serve the music and step back behind it, also step back when one member has a solo, give him/her the time to shine.

[@zanetpieterse7933]

Great reaction! Song of Myself next! NW Army Namibia checking in! 🌃⛲⚔🇳🇦🤘🏻

[@koserkm]

Just watched you fall in love with her singing. We all love her and Nightwish more than you can imagine right now. Enjoy your journey because that is exactly what it is. They are the whole enchilada so to speak. By the way nice insightful reaction. you get it quicker than most on their messages.

[@donaldcampbell9483]

Oh she will be back...iron lungs and all... welcome to the world of Nightwish. Once your in you are hooked!

[@OneLove-US]

Love this. Thank you for introducing this iconic band. First time hearing them.

[@Draxillior]

When you see Gabriel in your comments, heed his advice.... he will put you on the correct path... Welcome to the phenomenon that is Nightwish.

[@darkydoom]

The genre is what should be popular and played on radios. The talent of all involved is mind blowing. One of my favourite genres

[@piedropeer4494]

Hi MrLboyd! Thanks for your reaction. Welcome aboard the Nightwish train! In my opinion Storytime of the same Wacken concert would be the next logical experience.

[@imrevansanten1692]

More than spot on..... 3 days to learn... 80.000 +.... Dutch Valkyre.. 🤘🤘🤘

[@danieldavis1028]

oh I would have to check my bluray of this concert but this song is like the tenth song into a 15 song set.

[@lekalla]

DVD rather. I habe both the DVD and Bluray and the bluray version is little bit slowed down.

[@mikelfox1543]

Glad you like it. They have been around for 25 years and are superstars almost everywhere but the U.S
