"Marco sounds different". I think you didn't realize yet that it was Floor growling. :-)

[@MikeandGinger]

Oh, really?! Wow! - G

[@Harolddespui]

@@MikeandGinger If you want to hear a real bad-ass Floor, in a live song where she goes from growling to opera, try Revamp - Disdain Live at Graspop. This was her own band right before she joined Nightwish.

[@PaulOutdoors]

I discovered Nightwish and Floor 11 months ago and my music world has been turned upside down and inside out. Now, one of my most favourite things to do is watch and listen to others reacting to this phenomenal group of musicians especially for the first time. Thank you for a wonderful reaction. Paul - Nightwish Army England UK. 🙏😊👍

[@elaa.k.juutilainen5450]

Greetings from Tampere, Finland. Great reaction as always, thanks. Did you notice that Marko was wearing a kilt? Awesome! Stay safe both of you.

[@MikeandGinger]

I did! I LOVE a man in a kilt 😏 - G

[@bazkeen]

I'm in for the Floor growl, as only Floor can do it.. Floor growling underneath Marko's singing. Great job guys👍🏻👍🏻

[@damonbryan7232]

"Marco sounds different in this one" Me: that's not Marco growling😄😄 Can't wait for more. Sounds like someone has fallen hard down the rabbit hole. No worries. We are all right there too

[@amax1229]

This might be my new favorite version of this song. Hard hitting; perfect mixing; Floor's growls easily heard. 👍 🤘🔥🤘

[@Eloso3135]

I lived in Mexico City for 2 years and the high point was being at that concert. Center stage row 7. That was at the Teatro Metropolitano, an amazing venue with great acoustics. So glad to see videos from this show coming out.

[@davidstephen6753]

Floors growl is amazing! How can someone who sings so beautifully also sound so deep and gritty? She is amazing.

[@joaogabrielmusic3815]

They didn't release this show as a DVD, they released others with a bigger production. Nice first reaction, quite like mine. They always make me happy too. A big hug from Brazil.

[@MorusRubra]

I hope, they release more footage, this looks great. The Poet... from this show is also great. Such a nice surprise.

[@peruru2476]

I think yle, the Finnish Broadcating Company, broadcasted about 1 hour of this concert...which did have great sound. The Poet and the Penduluum from this show is on the Extra DVD from Vehicle of Spirit with a lot of other one off versions from different shows. So hopefully, since they recorded stuff at a lot of other locations, like Vancouver, as well, there will be more to come :)

[@Silvar55x]

To add to that: I believe they shot multiple concerts on the Endless Forms Most Beautiful tour and then decided after the fact which they were going to use for the Vehicle of Spirit BD/DVD. Wembley Arena in London and Tampere were the ones chosen to be featured. Some individual song performances from other concerts were included in the extras, but this isn't one of them.

[@jukkahelminen9071]

@@MorusRubra Yes, more videos are coming from them. I assume that from 2015, but sure I can't be. As already mentioned here, they filmed in several places, so the film footage is probably to be found. Tuomas said that he and Ville (Ville Lipiäinen, director) dug old archives - videos that have not been used in published DVDs. Tuomas said that more is coming little by little, because when you can’t get on tour, something has to be done! Hopefully there will be videos from some year other than 2015! But everything is fine for me!

[@Idefixu]

You were the first ones to react to this video. At least one reaction was promised right away, but your is the first posted. This one was found in Ville Lipiäinen's archives. He has directed a lot of Nightwish videos, live or official music videos. Tuomas promised there will be more to come from Ville's chest of wonders.

[@pekroll2467]

He you too, keep on going on the Nightwish journey. There are a lot of songs that make you too verry happy 😘

[@jmetallover]

Well Marco and Floor just kill it with this one. Floor isn't bada$$ enough, she is the one doing the Death Growls in this song!!! There is nothing this woman can't do except give a bad performance and this band is always flawless on stage. Great reaction and really looking forward to a new DVD, sadly it will have to hold us until next year when hopefully concerts can return!!

[@NicholasCorvin]

*Nightwish's latest live concert Bluray-/DVD was "Decades : Live in Buenos Aires". Recorded in September 2018 and released in December 2019.*

[@black4pienus]

That big ass Mike smile said it all.

[@MrHws5mp]

Nice one, and good on you for jumping on the new video! In case it wasn't clear, during the chorus, Marco is singing normally: the low bass growl is Floor. Yep, she can do that too... Marco has said that he loves singing with Floor because he can go 100% with zero chance of drowning her out. :-)

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Thanks guy's. I have their "Vehicle of Spirit" DVD set. It has the Tampere and Wembley concerts. Released by Nuclear blast records 2016. Very well produced.

[@niksur1201]

So many reactors miss that it is Floor doing the Growling... I guess it is hard to believe such an angelic siren could produce such a different sound, Oh well have fun watching it again and being blown away I guess. See you next reaction. ;)

[@ralfmeyer9086]

Yep, but in this version? Its like, Floor growls direct in my ears.🤗👍

[@paulkasiola4041]

Btw the low growl was Floor not Marco 😀. Yes she can do it all. Great reaction. They have 3 DVD live concerts all great.

every growl in Nightwish - is Floor :) - try ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop (2010)

[@orion351us]

Did you notice it was Floor growling the deep bass there?

[@leathelone6972]

I watched this Mexico version when it showed up this morning.... looked like the band were enjoying playing it... and yes Floor was growling along with Marco's cleaner vocal hence why Marco sounded so different :D

[@Neonbob]

Nightwish official drop today. You guys couldn't stay away 😁. Love your Channel 🔥

[@alanfoster6589]

Tremendously energetic performance of my favorite NW song.

[@alanfoster6589]

And yes, the "Rock in Rio" video of this song has the best concluding growl by Floor that I've seen so far. Tampere would be #2, but the RinR video is a closeup.

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

This a very different guitar mix to all the other versions I have seen. Have I mentioned I love that woman's singing yet...

[@derrickparran]

Holy Sh#t does Floor command the audience! This band is almost supernatural.

[@Jimbridge74]

Oh my damn... This woman is not mortal... when she turned into a siren I dropped to my knees sobbing... how can one so unearthly walk amongst us???? If ever we needed proof that Valkyrie's are real this is it... im going in again!

[@marcelrenes2435]

If you see the live version of this song at Wembley 2018, you can see it's Floor who is growling. But you're right. Floor can sing everthing! ❤

[@Itay1360]

I didn't know it was Floor growling until I read the comments! (I kinda suspected it though haha) They make an awesome combo, I hope I can catch Nightwish live at some point. You should check out Tantibus II by Scardust (there's a live version too!) Their singer Noa has an amazing voice and incredible control over it, it's a good listen :)

[@MikeandGinger]

Yeah, as I was listening, I was having a hard time distinguishing who was doing what. I know some people are disappointed we didn't figure it out, but sometimes that happens on a first listen to a song you don't know, especially when it's not a studio recording. -M

[@richardtomlin8704]

Great reaction. You got bits you missed bits, meh who cares. I presume this will not be the last time you hear this. (Yes, Wembley is a goodie too) It always takes me a number of listens to get a fraction of what they throw into the songs. Don't let people put you off experimenting with 'other versions' to a song. Choose the one you like, listen to the other later It will all come together in time.(There are no really bad official versions of anything) Keep it natural and real and I'll appreciate it far more than the constant fawning and worshipping that some reactors may be prone to.

Hello Ginger & Mike. Great reaction, even if the audio mix + visuals on this one didn't help you recognize who was growling... but don't worry: it's NOT a big deal. It just happened...🤷 The most important thing (even if some Childish/Grumpy Fan commented otherwise...🤦) is your love for Nightwish and I think that yours is totally UNDENIABLE. Congrats for being the first channel to react to this release and happy birthday to Ginger for tomorrow. Ps: if you're going to react to "The Greatest Show on Earth" as a B-day present, I vote for the Tampere version. *Tips* : captions turned on for better comprehension (it's more a history lesson than a song...😅) and watch it *TILL THE END OF THE VIDEO* because in between the credits there's a surprise...😉😉😉 👋🇮🇹🖖
