[@jonno55]

I am a life long fan of Pink Floyd (66 y old Dutch bloke) and seen them several times. This is the ultimate tribute from an exceptional band to a exceptional band.

[@vlinder6329]

I loved the original, but NIGHTWISH made it their own. This is such a perfect Tribute to PINK FLOYD. How AMAZING this is, so much emotion in MARCO'S voice. TUOMAS, JUKKA, and EMPPU were also geniuses. Even Pink Floyd's David Gilmour says he likes this version. Thank You so much Love from the Netherlands ❤️ 🤍 💙 🇳🇱 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@kentk2215]

An excellent tribute. Marko can SING! This song just makes you appreciate (and miss) him all the more!

[@zolivk5513]

beauty gitar solo ...

[@ralfmeyer9086]

What a Tribut from one awesome Band to another awesome Band. And look in her faces. They know, the Letter to Tarja is ready, to give it her after this concert. 😊

[@bocatampere]

I was working there at that night. It was an emotional rollercoaster 🔥❤️

[@joebenoit4057]

That "letter", and what followed is a prerequisite before entertaining the thought of reacting to "Poet and the Pendulum", in my opinion, and I believe that many agree. :) This was very personal to the band, and especially, Tuomas. He basically did in a song what could have really happened. This is big to having quite an experience. :) IMHO of course. :)

Thanks for your reaction!👍Markoooooo...!!❤❤🤘🤘Nightwish ❤

[@hallanvaara1383]

Marko is back in business and the newest song is Mika Jaakkola feat. Marko Hietala- Soita. An another good finnish band is Lost Society:"No Absolution"

[@siddni_]

Good song! And he is also singing in Raskasta Joulua (heavy Christmas) Show, just saw him on Saturday, he looked like he was happy to be on the stage again.

[@deanabennett8461]

Love this song. New sub!

[@dolla3975]

This is from the same concert as Phantom of the Opera, Tarjas last gig with Nightwish, DVD is named "End of an Era". All the band members except Tarja knew this was the last gig for her with Nightwish, they have already written the famous letter...

[@paulpisters668]

The voice of Marco gives me chills in this song, so emotional. Superb.

[@tommyjohnson9175]

Tarja departure is what lead to "the Poet and the Pendulum". It's Tuomas's feelings after. They had been close friends since their school days... and even thought it was the entire bands decision to let her go, fans that did not know all the stuff going on behind the scenes focused their frustrations at him... He got so depressed, and kind of felt betrayed by these supposed Nightwish fans. He ended up going back to his childhood home where his parents and closest friends helped him get thru his funk. He wrote "the Poet and the Pendulum" to express his feelings during that time.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Marko has recently done some awesome stuff withothe bands and artists, look for it on KZbin 👍👍👍 He is featured on a song from Waltari another heavy band from Finland 👀

[@majbrat]

Marco will be out there in some form or another musically. I will definitely be looking for what he does. I saw him featured as a guest on another bands song and it was great. Done before the sabbatical I think. He is a Rock God.

[@frenkwd1]

Dear Tarja, It`s time to choose whether the story of Nightwish ends here or whether it will still continue an undetermined period of time. We`ve been working with this creation for 9 years and we are not ready to give up yet. Nightwish is a way of life, something to live for, and we`re certain we can`t let it go. Equally certain is the fact that we cannot go on with you and Marcelo any longer. During the last year something sad happened, which I`ve been going over in my head every single day, morning and night. Your attitude and behavior don`t go with Nightwish anymore. There are characteristics I would never have believed to see in my old dear friend. People who don`t talk with each other for a year do not belong in the same band. We are involved in an industry where the business-side of things is a necessary evil and something to worry about all the time. We are also a band which has always done music from the heart, because of friendship and the music itself. The mental satisfaction should always be more important than money! Nightwish is a band, it`s an emotion. To you, unfortunately, business, money, and things that have nothing to do with those emotions have become much more important. You feel that you have sacrificed yourself and your musical career for Nightwish, rather than thinking what it has given to you. This attitude was clearly shown to me in the two things you said to me in an airplane in Toronto: ”I don`t need Nightwish anymore.” and ”Remember, Tuomas, that I could leave this band at any time, giving you only one day`s warning in advance”. I can`t simply write any more songs for you to sing. You have said yourself that you are merely a ”guest musician” in Nightwish. Now that visit ends and we will continue Nightwish with a new female vocalist. We`re sure this is an equally big relief to you as it is for us. We have all been feeling bad long enough. You told us that no matter what, the next Nightwish album will be your last one. However, the rest of us want to continue as long as the fire burns. So there`s no sense in doing that next album with you, either. The four of us have been going over this situation countless times and we have realized that this is the thing we want to do in life. It´s all we can do. In December 2004, in Germany, you said that you will never tour again for more than two weeks at a time. You also said that we can forget about U.S. and Australia because the fees and the sizes of venues are too small. In interviews I`ve mentioned that if Tarja leaves, that would be the end of the band. I understand that people will think this way. Nightwish is, however, a scenery of my soul and I`m not ready to let go because of one person. A person who wants to focus her creativity to somewhere else, a person whose values don`t match mine. We were never bothered by the fact that you didn`t participate in writing/arranging songs, you never in 9 years came to rehearse the songs with us before going to the studio. Not the fact that while on tour you always wanted to fly, separately from us with your husband. Not the fact that you are an undisputable front image of the band. We accepted and felt ok about everything except greed, underestimating the fans, and breaking promises. It was agreed by the five of us that Nightwish would be the priority in everything that we do during 2004-2005. Still so many things were more important to you. The ultimate example being the already sold-out show in Oslo, which you wanted to cancel because you needed to rehearse for your solo concerts, meet frieds and go to the movies. Those were the words Marcelo used in an e-mail explaining the cancellation. This being just one example of so many. I couldn`t think of a worse way of being selfish and dismissing our fans. Nightwish is a way of life and a job with many obligations. To each other and to the fans. With you we can`t take care of those duties anymore. Deep within we don`t know which one of you drove us to this point. Somehow Marcelo has changed you from the lovely girl you were into a diva, who doesn`t think or act the way she used to. You are too sure of your irreplaceableness and status. It`s obvious that you blame your stress and misery on us four. And you think we don`t respect or listen to you. Belive us; We have always had the uppermost respect towards you as a wonderful vocalist and as a friend. And very often during the past couple of years the plans were made according to your decisions only. You were always the only one who wanted more money from the shows. This ”compensation and more money from everything” -attitude is the fact that we are most disappointed of! We wish that from now on you will listen to your heart instead of Marcelo. Cultural differences combined with greed, opportunism and love is a dangerous combination. Do not wither yourself. This decision is not something we are especially proud of but you gave us no choice. The gap between us is too wide. And the decision is made by us four unanimously. We are beyond the point where things could be settled by talking. All the best for your life and career, Tuomas Emppu Jukka Marco Ps. This is an open letter for everybody.

[@AGDinCA]

Such a tough situation, all around.

[@ciskavandevijver2355]

check out "the voice of my father". one of my favorites from Marko...with another band..awesome. thanx

[@Calumetto]

It doesn't always get mentioned, but "Poet and the Pendulum" is reversed from the sequence of actual events. The song starts referring to what wound up happening at the end, and the song ends where his feelings were at the beginning. There's a child voice that says "The End" and "The Beginning" later but it's easy to miss.

[@MilaMan]

Okay, maybe you are ready for the "The Poem And the Pendulum". And for the "The Greatest Show on Earth" Tampere version. Maybe. But if doing GSE Tampere version do not stop the video where greeting at the end. There's Richard Dawkins' speech (not live though) there which is PART OF THE SONG.

[@KristiinaBerg]

They don't seem to be that far on their journey and perhaps not that invested?

[@duncanwyer2460]

🇬🇧 Norfolk division late ⏰ but with you now guys Look out for the jack sparrow doll on Tuomas keyboard

[@deborahfoster3797]

I think it was Tuomas that said this was more of a tribute to Pink Floyd rather than a cover.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

Nice way to go about the Tarja firing, is to read the letter, then react to The Poet and The Pendulum at Wembley to have context and then react to studio recording of Master, Passion, Greed (never played this one live) to hear the angry side of the dispute.

[@TomTomson81]

The song takes on a more intense meaning when you consider Tarja's expulsion. Brings the song again a very special feeling. A lot of trouble in Marco's voice. After that, it was over for Tarja. But absolutely excellent. For me, worlds better than the original.

[@geertdelange4785]

My suggestion is another cover of them, which we hardly see on KZbin. And if you like a heavy Nightwish sound, this will be a very nice one. Marco is singing solo on this one. Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction. Enjoy it, and I with you!

[@frenkwd1]

Tarja was fired via a letter that letter was made public.

[@user-mc9qo3fb5b]

👍👍👍👋👋👋🤩🤩🤩 Like!!!

[@amygoodson-catlady]

I can't pass this up...I love every reaction bc ppl are so blown away! I see below ppl have given you links to the 2 singles off his latest solo project Pyre of the Black Heart (recorded in Finnish and English), Stones and Voice of My Father. But if you want to hear him deliver a masterful vocal, check out song, Tides by Tarot, Marko's 1st band. He is a total rock star, and a super nice guy from all accounts!

[@black4pienus]

Marko! Marko! Marko!

[@joekel55]

Do the letter before " the poet" and when you do TPATP take the version with the lyrics or have the lyrics by hand. The letter is in one of the comments below, but also do the letter from Tarja to the band,

[@johannessilver8653]

So awesome cover and also Tributr fo PF by NW. Tuomas tuned it a bit heavier than the PF original and fitted it for NW style. Yes...after this concert they let Tarja go. That is one reason why this concert is so immortal and ends an era in real meaning. One of the founding members of NW was then out and they had so difficult time after this concert. Tuomas wrote "Poet and Pendulum" because of he tried to avoid suicidal thoughts. That song is a transition to next era.

[@maggaw9869]

Kiitos.

[@saatana3378]

Nightwish do best covers ever🖤🤧

[@karljensen6768]

I' ve been told that the reason why Jukka is leaning down on his drums, is that he was struck with a scullsplitting headache during the hole concert 😳😳

[@hajovelt3083]

That "story" about Jukka's Migräne is definitely not true! Maybe He was sick of this bulls...t about Tarja, they all don't look lucky at this moment. If someone have such a pain of migraine you cannot drumming as Jukka does.

[@Divedown_25]

@@hajovelt3083 according what I read he had migraine and you can see Tuomas nod to Empuu who jumps up on the drum raise to check up Jukka and them you see Emppu jump down again.

[@sjc9121]

Marco's own music: MARKO HIETALA - Stones (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5fGZJp4qLJpeJI ) MARKO HIETALA - The Voice Of My Father (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO) ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqjZoqOIh6h3mqc )

[@jeffwolinski2659]

One of my favorite f-ing songs of all time! STOOOONNNNNES!!!

[@ejllamobeolan5025]

This is actually the very last concert they gave her the letter at the end of this concert in essence dismissing her from the band Master Passion Greed. Is a diss on her manager husband. Now Marko! He has been as busy as ever doing his own thing my opinion is he just wants to do what he does. You already was a Rockstar before Nightwish 25-20 years ago. Here is a link to his most recent kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnmsZ2edhM9pisk just released in the last month or so..

[@ejllamobeolan5025]

Tell me you wouldn't go see this Nightwish in this line up only.

[@sjc9121]

This is their tribute to the music of Pink Floyd.

[@crnibass1994]

Poor Jukka was in so much pain... @2:06

[@pmasher]

I see that weird "Jukka had a migraine in this video" thing is still going around. There is no evidence for that. It all tracks back to an old reaction where the reactor was showing this video to his mom and she thought he had a migraine based on how he was leaning over his drum set.

[@christinaalgate4899]

Jukka had a Migraine due to his Insomnia. I think you guys should react to Marko singing WINGS OF DARKNESS from 1986 and then the 25th Anniversary the band was called Tarot. Marko has 2 new videos out . They are great one is with a Lap Slide Guitar.

[@CCEDE73]

Pink Floyd are good, but the Nightwish cover of High Hopes are better than the original :-)

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

What happens when one of the greatest bands of all time does a cover of one of the greatest bands of all time? This is what we are watching. Master musos doing master musos' pieces...

[@mariogansbeke]

You can read the open letter from the band to Tarja and her answer on the nightwish fandom wi_ki web_si_te. Look for 'open letter to tarja turunen'. Its this letter announcing the dismissal of Tarja that started the turmoil and the hate towards Tuomas. He felt like kil_ling himself, not in real life but in the "song" Poet and the Pendulum. This comment is the very short version of what happened in 2005. I tried to put a link in here but my comment was deleted 3 times in a row. The odd spacing and underscores in certain words is also to avoid being deleted again. 😢😢😒
