So, let me tell you something that is going to drop your jaw. The live version you chose is from Pinkpop 2022. On that very day, she did something I have never seen many artists do. This was the second concert she did that day! Earlier that day she did a full concert as a solo artist, only to climb up on stage a few hours later and do a full concert with Nightwish. How she even has any power left in her voice is beyond me!

[@rnowak85]

Plus it was almost 100 F so it was an oven on stage. Throw in that the Pinkpop audio is not the best and that's why I prefer Hellfest or Deichbrand.

[@zoeystar4668]

@@rnowak85You're 100% spot on. Hellfest, and Daichbrand , were hands down the most stellar performances because the audio guys were vigilant in the controls. Tha makes a huge difference when the audio men do a good job.

So ,... Eugene Merle Shoemaker (April 28, 1928 - July 18, 1997) was an American geologist. He co-discovered Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with his wife Carolyn S. Shoemaker and David H. Levy. This comet hit Jupiter in July 1994: the impact was televised around the world. Shoemaker also studied terrestrial craters, such as Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona, and along with Edward Chao provided the first conclusive evidence of its origin as an impact crater. He was also the first director of the United States Geological Survey's Astrogeology Research Program. He was killed in a car accident while visiting an impact crater site in Australia. After his death, some of his ashes were carried to the Moon with the Lunar Prospector mission. The spoken word in this is done by Tuomas Holopainen's Wife Johanna Kurkela ( a section from Romeo And Juliet is also carved Eugene's urn ). "Shoemaker" has become a favorite song of NASA's scientific community. Tuomas has a deep inclination towards science and this is reflected in many of his plays. This ensured the entry of Nightwish into the history books of science, several discoveries in the field being named after them. These new discoveries include: Alpenglow Rockshelter: Archaeological site named after Nightwish Song. Tanidromites Nightwishorun: New Crab species. Sciophila Holopaineni: New species of Mosquito found in Finland. Ophiomitrella Floorae: New species of Cretaceous brittle star named after Floor Jansen. Tmesisternus floorjansenae: new species of beetle named after Floor. Song from Human. :II: Nature and it is a Masterful Album !!!! AND The new Bass Player Jukka "Gentle Giant" Koskinen ( Yes, he is taller than Floor 😁). Jukka Koskinen is a Finnish musician, who is the bassist for the Finnish band Wintersun. He was also the bassist for Norther from 2000 until their disbandment in 2012, for Amberian Dawn from 2010 until 2013, for Cain's Offering from 2009 until 2014 and for Dark Sarah in 2014. In May 2021, he was revealed as Nightwish's session bass player for their world tour in 2021 and 2022, and later joined the band as their new bass player in August 2022. Also, I have experienced this "Live" myself, and, it was sellar Experience.... NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘

You have to agree with me that Nightwish is actually one of the few bands that is even better live than in studio!

[@tatters2072]

A few interesting things about Pinkpop. Before this performance earlier in the day, Floor sang a one hour solo show. Metallica were the headliners and James Hetfield was in the wings watching this performance. There's a clip on YT of James going all giggly fanboy over Floor. At a later Metallica concert in the Netherlands, a support band dropped out and Metallica asked Floor to fill in with her solo show, despite it having only a few metal songs in it.

[@RonniePeterson]

Stunning in the studio but live it is truly something to behold.

[@marinaa.6140]

Jukka Koskinen🎸

[@black4pienus]

Such a good pick of Nightwish. (Of course no one better than Marko)

[@markusjackel2132]

I always thought the idea of a siren singing and luring sailors onto the rocks was a silly idea. But if Floor Jansen was sitting on a rock in the sea singing, my ship would be heading straight for destruction.

[@optimusakc]

It would be the coolest thing to see Floor in the Pirates movies as a mermaid singing the bridge part from "Yours is an empty Hope". It is literally a siren call

[@schout33]

Tuomas and Floor were not satisfied with the ending at first. After Floor tinkered with it at her home studio and with the choir added it became this masterpiece. Tuomas still had his doubts however if this one could be done live, but Floor convinced him that she could pull it off and she surely did. And also considering that a few hours earlier she did a solo performance of an hour at an other stage of this festival in the soaring heat that day.

[@ricklong4218]

One big difference between the live and studio is live you get to see Floor. She's a beast, an extremely beautiful beast. A real life siren for sure.🤘

[@ssc00p]

Funnily enough Jukka Koskinen´s nickname is "The Beast" (at least in certain circles...)

[@franshinlopen2166]

I have met Floor at seven meet and greets in Canada in 2016 and 2018. You are absolutely correct. She has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen and I was in my sixties then.

[@tatters2072]

It's all three harmonizing with Troy on lead in stereo, Marko in our left ear and Floor in our right.

[@Assel55]

„O.P.“ is Jukka Koskinen, the genious former Bassist from Wintersun, where Drummer Kai also played before. I suggest you to react to „Time“ and/or „Sons of winter and stars“ from Wintersun.

[@normmcinnis4102]

I was captivated by Kai's rapid drumming effect. Thomas deliberately challenged Floor on this song because he knew she could do it and it is complex to sing. Well done!

The voice doing the spoken Shakespeare quote is Tuomas' wife, Finnish pop/folk singer Johanna Kurkela. Johanna, Tuomas and Troy also form a folk trio called Auri. It is not metal but is nevertheless fantastic. Her voice is magical, like something straight outta fairy land. In case you are interested, I recommend a song called Night 13. I'm convinced that Tuomas can compose anything.

I withessed that ending here in Buenos Aires, truly mesmerizing what she can do with her voice. Cheers!!! PS: appoint another one for a double reaction... "How's the heart" official and Planet Rock versions, jawdropping. PS.2: If you like Planet Rock version (and you will) there's a version of Nemo in the same setup for you to enjoy.

[@jaskau2462]

🤩👍💥💯🎼 The album *HVMAN. :II: NATVRE.* (2020) was produced by Tero Kinnunen, Mikko Karmila and Tuomas Holopainen. Executive Mastering by Mika Jussila. Second part of the whole album; " All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World " includes mainly orchestral music in eight parts is performed by London Session Orchestra (arrangements for choir and orchestra made by Philip "Pip" Williams) 🤘😎💙🎶

[@rnowak85]

Enjoyed your reaction. One of my top 5 Nightwish songs. Personally I like the lyric video version best. The visuals, especially at the end, just take the epicness of the experience to the next level. From the 2020 Human Nature album. Originally the band didn't think they would be able to perform this live, especially the rapid pitch changes and phrasing in the beginning. Supposedly Floor asked where she was supposed to breathe when Tuomas first gave her the vocal melodies. But Floor pushed to do the song live and it was a highlight of their Human Nature tour. Others have done a good job explaining who Eugene Shoemaker was and the fact that a small portion of his ashes is on the moon is very cool and also gives deeper meaning to some of the lyrics ("Now you've been tucked in For eternal earthrise and wonder" and "Yours is the whole graveyard of heavens"). The quote from Romeo and Juliet that is spoken by Tuomas's wife, Johana Kurkela, is the words that Shoemaker's wife had engraved on the capsule containing his ashes which is why it is in the song. You should checkout some of Johana's work as well. She is a well know and respected pop/folk singer in Finland. In addition to her projects she also has one with Tuomas and Troy called Auri. Beautiful atmospheric, almost folky music. Some of my favorites are The Space Between, Desert Flower, and The Valley. I worked at NASA in the manned spaceflight program for 15 years and this song is not only a tribute to Eugene Shoemaker but a ode to humanities desire to explore and push out into the universe beyond our home. I hope this song continues to inspire people all over the world to support exploration and manned spaceflight.

[@blueeyes1110]

I totally agree about Jukka looking like Opie and fun fact the drummer in her previous band Revamp looks like Opie also in their live video of Disdain from 2010

[@FromG2eminor]

They are always best live but im always happy that the studio is reacted to first so you can see the words. Very difficult lyrics to sing to and remember.

[@incognition_]

I rarely see it suggested, but, I would really enjoy it if you could react to "Nightwish - Endlessness" from the same album as this, the official music video. Marco takes the primary vocals on this one, and it is one we will probably never see live with him :(

[@anssia3123]

The album Human :||: Nature came out during Covid lockdowns so all the reactions are of the album versions simply because they had to postpone the tour twice and it was a long wait for any live stuff. I gladly kept my tickets and waited and boy was it worth it. New album coming out some time this year and I'm so excited to see what they bring this time.

[@gabriellunardi5815]

Idk if someone already said it but in the studio you hear 3 voices in the harmonies. Mario was still in the band when they recorded the album (Human Nature) ;)

[@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614]

That is the correct sequence: first the video after doing some reading about this song, then: live! And about the Siren: @KenLavigne commenting on Floor singing (TGSOE): “Is she a sorceress, is she a Siren, is she a warrior princess, is she all three?”

[@ronbally2312]

The visuals with the video add so much to the song, and I always seem to appreciate the live versions better for their energy in delivery. It appears that Nightwish and certainly Floor tap into the energy of the audience to deliver “more”.

I always like the live version, Floor`s stage presence is phenomenal, My jaw drops and the tears flow every time i watch her live

[@petemclaughlin6315]

I think after (most of) a tour, and album and another tour with the band, Tuomas had a real sense of what Floor could do by this album, and she pulls out some amazing vocal acrobatics through a bunch of song on it. You see and hear a lot of labels thrown her way on all the different YT reactions ... "Siren", "Valkyrie Goddess", "Metal Queen" etc ... well i have an other one: "Cheat Code"

[@ssc00p]

BTW: Nightwish uses all the way the same grade audio equipment in the live concerts than in the studio... they really do not cut any corners in order to provide the highest quality experience as possible for the live audience...

[@erikvanderlooij5216]

Floor did a solo live performance earlier that day, it was bloody hot that day and apparently her in ears were not working properly. Still it was magic hearing this live

[@trevorfolker3665]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but the voice reading the William Shakespeare quote from Romeo and Juliet is Tuomas' wife Johanna (a singer in her own right) - and for another interesting twist, Tuomas, Johanna and Troy are in a band called Auri (aided by a certain Kai on drums...) and have released two albums (2018 and 2021) - the first of which topped the Finnish album charts - more music for you to explore, full of keyboards, pipes and whistles - it's not Nightwish, it's more acoustic/folk with a touch of prog, but it is Tuomas..... I Hope Your world Is Kind (kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5isYYqkicmkr8U) or Pearl Diving (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJqnkIyagKiMis0) as examples....

NW is better live than recorded. Guitars tend to be a bit harder, there is added punch from the pyro and then there is the crowd. - unless you're unlucky and you have some teenagers trying to outsing Floor right behind you :-). On the Human :||: Nature tour I've seen them live three times (Helsinki, my home town Stuttgart and their final show - at least for a while in Vaasa, Finland. Sound was always amazing, no matter if it is an indoor arena show or an outdoor one.

[@markusdd5]

This was the quirkiest moment on the Human:Nature tour when Floor always introduced this as the 'sing along song of the album' 😂😂😂 It's shivers all the way down your spine when that ending hits. Phenomal piece of music. Very fond memories. Also according to Floor and Tuomas the most difficult song on the album to get right during recodings. They took months to perfect this ending Floor once said in an interview. Another fun fact: This show was played mere hours after Floor had pulled off a solo show at Pinkpop. The same f*ing day. It also was the concert that James Hetfield of Metallica caught live, after which he fistbumped Floor. Last year that led to Floor opening Solo for Metallica in the Netherlands xD Also...can we briefly talk how absolutely beautiful Floor looks, especially inthose Human:Nature Tour outfits? F*ing incredible.

[@whirledpeaz5758]

New Bassist is Jukka Koskinen. He joins his former band mate, Kai from Wintersun. IMHO Floor is more of a Valkyrie, come to Midgard to escort Heroes to Valhalla. She got side tracked saving the world from bad music. Nightwish saved me from the deepest despair of my life after the death of my mother during the Covid lockdowns.

[@zoeystar4668]

If you wanted to, you could react to MORE Showmaker. The sound technicians are meticulous at both Hellfest and Deichbrand festivals. Hellfest was another hot day, and Deichbrand is a night concert. Both are much better than PinkPop. I like the concept of reacting to the quality from the various venues. This composition is incredible. Thank you for the double feature. Hoping for more. It's fun this way.. Cheers. 🍺

I believe it's Marko on the bass on the album version, and he is singing with Floor and Troy on a very quiet line and third harmony in that amazing quiet "bridge", obviously only on the album version. Marko left not long after they finished recording that album, if memory serves correctly. Please anyone correct me if I have something wrong here! Jukka Koskinen absolutely looks like Opie from SoA! Just a less "stout" Opie lol!

[@perico1014]

I think the difference is they rehearse a lot in tours. I mean a lot. I think they do the whole setlist two times each day, apart from the live show. That, and the sound technicians are the secret.

[@Drinckx2]

Good to do both a live and the studio version. However, this isn't the best live version: the Hellfest version is better, as is Deichbrand. The mix on this live version isn't very good compared to the others; in particular, Floor's vocal is better on other live versions. Also, the sense of atmosphere in the audience is better at Hellfest. I do love the studio version though and you also get to hear an accurate rendition of all of the lyrics, which are so complex with different lines in every verse, they often get, how shall we put it, 'simplified' in the live versions. The contention was, could Floor sing the 'Laudato Si, Ad Astra' section live? She can and she kills it.

[@marita2g]

Live for me is always better, feeling the soundwaves and all the same amazed people around you makes everything extra special. As soon as I heard the studio/album version I only thought one thing: This going to be amazing live. This Pinkpop festival version on Floor’s and my own home soil the Netherlands isn’t my favorite live version however. I attended live with my son joining for the first time, but all weekend I wasn’t happy with the sound quality. Week later I should have attended Hellfest, but injury kept me home, but the livestream sound felt so much better. A mere month later I saw them at Deichbrand and the sound there was also very good. I think it’s time you listen and react to a studio only song and also 1 of my to 5 favorites and probably the most heavy song the made. A dark and most angry song !!

So I didn't have a chance to hear it live then. Most of the songs from other albums in my playlist, are from live performances. So which one is better when it comes to Shoemaker? The answer is: Yes!

greetings and love from Germany. So for what i know, there is no official live recording of ´Shoemaker´ that has a high standart quality sound. For my taste, i like the studio version a bit better, if i had to decide, But i don´t have to, thats why i dont make comparsions of any kind. Comparsions are superfluous and useless. According to your thumbnail, it looks like you're doing the 2022 live version of the 'Pinkpop Festival'. In terms of sound, this is one of the slightly worse recordings, in my opinion

They are definitely better live than studio… there is something in studio I feel does not capture the nuances and emotion and power of Floor’s voice as you hear live.
