Intro + Storytime - Nightwish - O2 Academy Brixton - 5th Nov 2012

With Floor Jansen... her voice is spectacular !

[@MrsJessVee]

Thanks for the 45k views, almost 9 years after I posted it! I know I am not Floor, but if you wanted to show some love to my cover videos too, I would be honored 😅

[@arturama8581]

Cut the Intro at 2:03! People see bad video, hear bad audio and nothing happening for the first 2 minutes and they're gone! It's a nice video from the very early days of Floor's NW-ventures, but internet people have little patience. Cut the intro!

[@MrsJessVee]

@@arturama8581 or maybe ople can skip the part they don't want to see? Anyway, I don't have the original video anymore, can't re-upload and honestly, I'd rather spend time on my own cover videos, if I had to 😄

I was at this concert. It was amazing, but there's no way to adequately describe how Floor just electrified the whole place. I learned the value of a great lead singer that day.

[@kurojester4513]

I was there too. It was a good show.

[@GraemeMartin]

Only been into Nightwish a year or so and Floor has taken them to the next level, she is phenomenal, I love this ❤❤

[@EricGreene]

They HAD to have known, very early on, that SHE IS THE ONE

[@ToTheWolves]

From what I've heard in different videos they wanted her earlier but she had her own stuff going with Revamp and then it didn't happen until later than what tuomas wanted.

[@bayualoyzprasetyo1584]

she's amazing!

[@Woody_Hart]

As we gaze to the horizon, a bright star appears... HER time has come!

[@cynthiatolman326]

She hadn't the experience with the music or a chance to practice to do the higher parts here. What she does here is fantastic, what she and the band evolved into is phenomenal. The evolution is extraordinary.

[@davee7962]

It is the time of Floor. And we can say WE WERE THERE.

[@TheMightyOdin]

Floor is undeniable every time she performs, whatever she’s performing.

[@mrlindsays]

Floor is just amazing! Saw them live in Vancouver and she hits every note! Just perfect!!

[@Kvasaari]

That's cool, thanks for sharing. Floor was already a beast.

[@richardsdao2948]

Floor was born in "beast mode."

[@toddnoll8027]

Hard to believe that Floors first show with Nightwish was only one month ago on Oct 1st in Seattle. That was the day Nightwish was reborn.

[@silverblack5475]

Is she ever not on top of her game .....god this woman is otherworldly.

[@L.T.L.T.L.T.]

WOW....and this live after only a few months .........👍👍👍

[@fredverkerk838]

1 month

[@MacZussie]

Less than 5 weeks

[@ebbenielsen7]

It is so good. Floor is new in the band. And on her way to Wacken 2013. But already so convincing.

[@rianvandenhoof4124]

wow...... and still getting better and better.

[@pampymirabuna1453]

Happy to see this one huh, because to be honest, even though it's Yr 2021 and knowing Floor has been in Nightwish for 8 yrs, I still searching videos of her first concert with Nightwish. ❤️

[@maxmattt]

Just search for "Nightwish october 1st 2012 seattle"

[@pampymirabuna1453]

@@maxmattt I already did before and saw most of it. And I think I will happy to watch it again. 😊

[@kurojester4513]

This randomly pops up on my suggestions then I remember going to see this concert. Only one I’ve ever been too as I hate travelling and crowds. Was meant to meet a friend there that’s why I travelled over 200 miles too see it but she couldn’t make it in the end. Still had a good time though even if I was on my own.

[@penkakicheva-peeva8319]

Thanks for helping me remember the first time I saw Nightwish live, 11 years ago ❤

[@nevermore5168]

Whoever recorded this thank you this beginning performance gave me chills! this is what music is all about.

[@andysteele5707]

Nightwish won the lottery with her joining them. Omg she's amazing in everyway. So talented. Miss marko though but Kai is a brilliant drummer and Troy is brilliant to and nice having an English man amongst them lol.

[@gmanryxx8234]

Wow 🙌🏻🎇🔥🎆 Floor just rocked the whole place and kicked some serious ass as the new NightWish Frontwoman 😍🤟🏻🔥🎇👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻 love her. The whole band kicked ass 🙌🏻🔥👏🏻🤟🏻🎇🎆

[@jayoz9583]

Nice to see this document.

[@hellwant9326]

Thanks for sharing...❤️🥰❤️ There's a special feeling to explore Floor's journey with NW, especially in 2012. So, no matter how bad or how good the audio is, Floor's voice always make NW's (old) songs sound good to ears & I can enjoy it..

[@dainguyen1732]

Very cool...you can see the improvements at Wacken2013 but so good already

[@khymaaren]

At this point, she was basically a session vocalist. She did an amazing job, obviously. What I noticed was that she didn't join in with the choir during the bridge, something that later made the song distinctively hers, in my opinion.

[@oxhoward478]

Awesone concert! I wish I could have been there

[@mjoezic3198]

Awesome!!

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

the audience is amazing too

[@donepearce]

If Emppu ever lost that guitar the world would end

[@enriquesoto6534]

You bet!!! What an amazing piece of instrument, on the most wonderful colour! Played by the virtuoso talent of Emppu, of course!

[@arturama8581]

Haha, he has several spares, so don't worry ;) Besides, the talent isn't in the instrument, but in Emppu. Any guitar man, any guitar. You just need an Emppu :)

[@PaulOutdoors]

Superb. Thank you 👍😊

[@alisehuisman9842]

Yes more more Floor !!!

[@michaelstaruszkiewicz8798]

The logical successor for Tarja; Floor adds such Depth & Power to the A.O. Era Songs = Thank Floor she's with us still!

[@josuemartinez7011]

no hay sucesor.cada quien su estilo.

[@AndersMidnatt]

How to obtain a KILLER SONG? Just let Floor Jansen to perform it=)

[@cdavid8139]

Fantastic song!

[@CarlosGrande06]

Nice 🤘 thanks a lot

[@milikitaworkshop1540]

i stop listen to nightwish after tarja was fired and then start listening again when floor come in..love her since AF era but never their music, also with Annete..she is great in her nightwish album but not for concert' with tarja era songs...and then floor just fit with both Annete and tarja songs..also her stage performance is awesome

[@ABABABABABABABABABABBBBBB]

Anette is the worst fit for nightwish. Marko alone would have sounded better when floor or tarja wasnt there.

[@fredverkerk838]

for that time , very good sound .

[@EthanLin0224]

Nightwish每位團員都非常棒，但我最喜歡鼓手Jukka Nevalainen😊

[@fabiokaka8780]

Amazing women...

[@jensenmekk]

Here we can see how tall she is,but it dosent matter there is much more lovelyness from head to toe,i dont think she needed those hi heals when she already rich over all her band members without,she has an really good talent,think about to move those long legs so smoothly and at the same time sing with this most beautiful voice human ears have heard

[@ToTheWolves]

Does anyone know when she started doing the operatic parts live?

[@khymaaren]

What's with the Crimson Tide score?

[@alanfoster6589]

Interesting...Floor not doing the operatic part at the end here. I wonder when she started doing that, if she proposed the idea to Tuomas or if he suggested it to her?

[@taletalla4482]

perhaps because floor arrived on October 13th and there was no material time to run it ok. already his debut with ghost love score was sensational

[@joguipo]

I was thinking that... Perhaps a vid showing the evolution. From this to Wacken and to just Her Majesty. I'd watch that

[@terryhunt2659]

She actually did "the operatic part" the very next night, at their performance in Birmingham (see kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmauint3rLKUb5I). It's interesting to see the evidence in historical documentations like this, even if they're not the best quality recordings, that she and the rest of the band were striving to refine and improve their performances with every appearance.

[@alanfoster6589]

@@terryhunt2659 That's what historical recordings are for :).

[@terryhunt2659]

@@alanfoster6589 I agree, of course, but some people (see below) seem to take the attitude that if a recording isn't in perfect high fidelity, it has no value whatever.

That was intense.

[@franciscopeirat8395]

I don't get it. She did not sing the operatic part, wth???? 6:05

No, her first show was in seattle on october 1st 2012, just over a month before this.

[@marcinl4010]

No, just a month later, she joined at the end of September 2012, Portland 02/10 first event.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

Floor is great, but the sound quality is not very good (many reverberations in the room I think...). Nice to have such a record, though!

[@MrsJessVee]

Obviously... I filmed this 8 years ago with a Sony cybershot compact camera 📷 which was not professional equipment. I posted this here so that I could keep a memory and maybe send the link to my friends. For some reasons, this video has so many views now (thanks to YT algorithm), but yeah, technology has evolved a lot since then.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

@@MrsJessVee aha, I understand, but maybe it would then better to make it a private video... (you can set that somewhere...)

[@Mystress1980]

@@rientsdijkstra4266 Or maybe it would be better if you learned some manners. Some of us appreciate the effort and enjoy watching fan filmed footage. This is actually excellent sound quality given the time frame and equipment. Some of y'all didn't live through the 80s and truly terrible live recordings AND IT SHOWS.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

​@@Mystress1980 A.) You do not tell me what manners are, you are not in a position to lecture me, you are not my mother or my father or my teacher. And I am probably old enough to be your father. Has no one ever told you that it is very rude to berate people about manners in an inpropriate manner? B.) I Listen to fan filmend video's a lot (I find them often more enjoyable than the official live video's) But if sound is bad, it is bad. And I can point that fact out if I want to, manners do not have anything to do with that (or maybe I should say: "If I may say so madam, I would like to point out to you that sound quality does not seem to be optimal..., would that be -un-rude enough for you?"). Furthermore, I was just trying bo be helpfull. C.) The reason why I reacted to the sound quality in the first place, is because It gives a bad impression of Floor's singing (for the untrained ear, that cant hear the difference), who was at the time of this recording already one of the worlds best rock / metal singers. You can check this link if you want to hear how she sounded already in 2007: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWSQkHlvpderaqs D.) The "disoptimal" sound quality of this video is mainly because of bad reverberations in the specific room / hall, I don't think the equipment has anything to do with it. E.) Made the text a bit more friendly.

Ok, just trying to help...

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

Probably nice that you were there with your little camera, maybe your phone. But the sound is so bad it's hardly worth listen to. There are early videos of Floor singing. I suggest people look for them.

[@MrsJessVee]

Agree! I initially posted this mostly for my friends at that time, I am not sure why it is popping in many people's feed 8 years later 😅

Check the uploading date.Believe me ,the sound quality is good.I had a iphone 4s that time.Following year we went to a concert in O2 brixton .I tried to record it few video but the quality not close to this one. So it's a prety good video.
