[@ianthompson5746]

Have you ever seen such a happy, contented & wholesome band ? Each member has so so much love & respect for each other, that has to be 1 of their biggest assets, & by the way, they play quite good music too.......thanx guys..

[@randyboyles]

I concur.

[@chriso6719]

Inspired by roller coaster rides, this is usually played at or near the end of the set. That is just Floor and Marko singing. Troy is off stage, Jukka, Tuomas and Emppu don't have mics. Troy is singing with Floor on this song on the current tour.

[@TomTomson81]

Marco and Troy sings back up. If you look at the end credits, you can see that Nightwish even thanks their bus driver.

That's awesome 👌

The expression on Floor's face at the end: priceless!

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Such a great song to end that magical night at this legendary show. Look at them all. Just look at the chemistry between them! I really like the spontaneous moments after the song has ended. Nothing against "Ad Astra" in the least, but this here at Wacken was so organic and beautiful. Look at Floor right after the last notes, standing there in awe & appreciation. How they're hugging each other (Tuomas & Troy moment is very nice). Also take special notice of how Tuomas rushes after Floor as she leaves the stage at 15:47 and how he pats her on the shoulder in a heartfelt ty. Saw him do something similar at the last recent show they did in South-America where he held on to her shoulder for as long as he could, before she started to deliver her final Ad Astra notes, fighting the tears (they knew abt the cancer diagnosis). Back in 2012 she saved their Imaginaerum Tour, brought back the metal, the band spirit and with her stage presence and unmatched vocal versatility took Nightwish to the next level. At Wacken 2013 everything came together and music history was made. Thank you Floor! Here's to many more years to come and here's to seeing you and your brothers in metal on Nov 27th in Amsterdam. Cheers! 🤘

[@BrendonChase_2015]

This is that moment I referred to. Last concert before they got back to Europe to resume that leg of their tour in Antwerp in a few days from now. Floor fighting the tears, Jukka noticing and Tuomas holding on to her shoulder until he has to let her go. "Touching" really is an understatement here.

Even today, 9 years later, I get wet eyes when the band said goodbye to us.But the next Nightwish concert is already around the corner for me on November 27th.I bet that especially Floor will be celebrated as enthusiastically as never before.After all, it's her home game in Amsterdam.❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥🤘🤘

[@crissyperry1080]

Statement so 👍 true

[@alancarter41]

Looks like Animal is working on a Marko beard! This was the last song of the set for the Imaginarium tour. To me this song is a celebration of life, and of the incredible universe we live in. I love the chorus; Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life / The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high / It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead / This moment the dawn of humanity. An ode to a hopeful and bright future. Stay safe, God bless, and keep rocking.

[@crissyperry1080]

😆 lol

[@billtbodger]

Name me another band that has 3 amazing show closers, This is one great show closer, along with Ghost Love Score and The Greatest Show on Earth, This was the end of a fantastic concert, which has turned into one of the all time classic Rock Videos, to be honest out of the top ten Live videos, Nightwish has produced 4 of them, No other band comes across so well in a live video, even lower quality home shot videos of NW in concert captures the energy which is simply off the chart

[@amygoodson-catlady]

Speaking of hard working crews... during the lockdowns, when bands weren't touring, Nightwish loaned equipment to members of their road crew...who recorded an EP of Nightwish covers under the name, Crewish!

[@oniccolls]

The end shows how much this band loves their fans as much as the fans love Nightwish.

[@randyboyles]

"Hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead." one of my favorite lyrics. Nice to pause and remember to breath once in a while....lol

[@2ndhandsoulsmusic]

Well said!

[@PittDaddy]

"Never seen anything like it". I agree. The first time I saw songs from this concert (going on 2 years ago now), I was hooked. They are so far beyond almost any band I had ever seen. It's more than just a song, it's an event.

[@dixie3086]

Have heard this is Jukka's favorite song to play. A few years after he left the band, he makes a surprise appearance on the drums to play this song. Can't remember what concert it was. It was great!!!

[@davidellinsworth22]

I can't remember either.... but wasn't it the same evening Sammy Vanska also made a surprise appearance?

[@jimharris367]

This ending always gets me a bit choked up, such an amazing show, the vibe is simply off the chart 🤘

[@ecbftl]

Wonderful end to the concert. Nightwish gives credit to their whole team at the end of the video. This was the Nightwish production crew and their own video team. Also if you look close I think you will see Marco is in the credits for audio editing.

[@escape081]

You guys should get everyone together and do a kinda sorta re-reaction to the entire show from beginning to end.

[@gailbreslin5441]

I concur

[@crissyperry1080]

Great Idea

[@g.gordon8117]

There is a fan made video to this song using film footage of "Snow White and the Huntsman" that is really good. 👌 they call it a Dutch windmill ...shes Dutch..lol

[@robertsheeler321]

Great job, you got me warmed up for another Nightwish. can't wait to see the next one

[@rnowak85]

Great reaction guys. This song has one of my favorite lyrics. "It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead". This song is in their current tour setlist and starts the end of the show. Last Ride of the Day, Ghost Love Score, Greatest Show on Earth and then Ad Astra as the outro. Such an incredibly uplifting way to end a show. When I saw them live in Boston back in May and I have never left a show with so much energy, hope and gratitude for being alive and a desire to do the work to make life better for everyone.

[@randyboyles]

I concur.

[@damonbryan7232]

How many bands in the credits. Do they give credit to caterers, bus drivers, outfit maker's, etc. Then the final photo shoot with the crowd. Something that is special. They don't edit out the mistakes. Floor almost missing her mark. After outfit change during this show. Marko forgetting his lines. In the Buenos Aires concert. So he improvise with "fuck me". Tuomas having a little to much wine. An ripping his shirt off. Then there's Floor busting her ass on stage. After taking a bad step. Then the constant practical joke's. Both on and off stage.

[@anniemoemski4057]

Floor Jansen wrote this . Great news! I am cancer free The surgery took everything cancerous out and it hasn’t spread! I’ll get local radiation therapy in February to make sure everything stays out. I’m getting my energy back after the surgery and feel a huge relief to know it was successful! I’m not back to a 100% but I have no doubt the shows will give me the power push I need to rock with all of you on the upcoming European tour Thank you for your amazing support and well wishes the European tour begins in 2 days!

[@metalzonereactions]

This is such a great song, perfect closer too!

[@Zoey-K-1]

Fun fact: the photo they took at the end became the cover art for the DVD of this show...called Showtime Storytime.

The Most magical show EVER filmed !!

[@gbusse]

Now is that how to close a concert or what? This is my fav Nightwish concert. Right from the opening song, Dark Chest of Wonders, which I believe you have seen until this last song they never slow down. They keep the same intense energy going from beginning to end. They are so amazing!

'Last Ride Of The Day', a perfect metaphor for life!

[@humphreyterveer1338]

As I have said here before, Floor is a gift to Nightwish. When one sees her interaction with the individual band members, Floor makes a great contribution through her both musical and technical qualities. That sets Floor apart from the other vocalists in my opinion, she is in total harmony with the band in her first major performance at Wacken.

[@Rackelhane]

Wonderful to se all your smiles. THANK YOU.❤❤❤❤

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

And with this song Nightwish ended the Wacken 2013 festival!! At this point, no one outside Nightwish knew that both Floor and Troy had become permanent members. This concert were on the 3. of August - but Floor and Troy sign the papers in june 2013 - but it was made public until October 2013, when the tour ended - a year after Floor jumped in. After this tour, Floor used the next two years to finish her work with her own band ReVamp (including their last DVD), some work with Ayreon, Russell Allen and others - and she went to the studio with Nightwish and recorded the first album with songs written to her voice 'Endless forms most beautiful'. There are som super interesting videos of 'the making of endless forms most beautiful' - which shows much deeper in details how they work, and how professional they all are, how Floor couldn't stay away, turned up early, already having learned the song. Super interesting videos. And she also met Hannes and got married in the period 2013 - 2015. And the fan base exploded...

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

Nobody windmills like the Valkyrie Goddess 😇😇😇🤘🤘🤘 Do 'Bless the Child' and 'Shudder before the Beautiful' (Wembley)

Another great reaction! One of my favourites by Nightwish, this version x

[@honorarythamesman5732]

Great reaction as always 👍. I'm extremely excited because all being well with Floor - I'll be seeing Nightwish here in London this coming Monday 😃. You mentioned about suggesting other bands - I'd like to recommend another Symphonic metal band from Germany called 'Beyond the Black' - they have a very good show with great sound from a concert they did in Japan - I think their label put a song 'Hallelujah' from that concert on KZbin. Other tracks include 'Is there anybody out there' , 'Songs of Love and Death' , 'A million light years' and 'Winter is coming'. Take good care of yourselves 😃

Such an endurance race making it to the end of that concert and still sounding as good as the First song, man the stamina!. Also before our lovely Dutch Floor and her windmill their was a man called Blackie Lawless from the band W.A.S.P. who would headbang like Floor so we would call it doing the Blackie Lawless when we headbanged like that. Now I call it the Windmill. Thanks guys.
