Nightwish - Slaying the Dreamer (Live) [Reaction/Review]

[@TheZachh]

Great song choice from End of an Era. This is one of Tarja's best! If you want to see more from this show I highly recommend "The Siren" and an absolute must-see is "Ever Dream" (both from End of An Era). If you want a slow quiet song, give Sleeping Sun a watch also. Looking forward to so many more of these!!

[@Iceeeen]

Adam Blackstone They have already done Ever dream with floor and to be honest the wacken performance tops end on an era, Sleeping sun they should do in my opinion from Tampere 2015 concert. Floor did her own version there and it just tops Tarja by a mile

[@FluffyLaDooDoo]

Iceeeen Not really

[@Addik2You]

I was also getting thirsty for some EPICNESS of NIGHTWISH. For years this is a favourite of mine. Thanks guys to colour in my Sunday with this piece of music!

[@martinnievas9061]

Finally end of an era!

[@fdsannie]

No you are not an idiot. Other reviewers of their concerts say the same thing. They feel that Nightwish is better in live performances than on CD's. A lot of people think that the music was meant to be seen and heard live.That does not mean that their recordings are not great, because we know that by the amount of people that have never seen them and how they love them also. Song of Myself would be great for next one.

[@sonnenregen3300]

Same goes for Blind Guardian in my opinion. They are so much better live than from CD. Dunno why, but it is what it is. But the best band I've seen live until now is Schandmaul. They sound EXACTLY the same as on studio versions while on stage. And that's a feat I simply haven't seen with any other band. And no, they don't use playbacks ;)

[@warhammer5690]

Ann Waychoff damn straight lass.

[@fdsannie]

Thanks!

[@dhaxgaming4488]

when marco sings in ever dream..it adds soo much feeling to the song.

[@mikkokoskinen2762]

Bass player Marco Hietala sings on his own band Tarot. Check songs messenger of gods, Pyre of gods, crows fly back etc..

[@AriaIsara]

I love this live version so much!! :D It's one of the first songs that made me really love Nightwish. I agree the end part is amazing!

[@ioanniskostoulas4448]

Check Creek Mary's Blood from End Of An Era. It's different. Thre's a native Indian performing also as the native Indians is the main theme.

[@RosettaAllen]

the man is called "John Two Hawks" I know him personally, he's from the Oglala Lakota Tribe, and part of the same family roots as I am, and the story he tells at the end is actually about the double agents on the trail of tears fighting for the kids which includes my great great uncle.

[@RosettaAllen]

For more information contact crazy horse monument and speak to the historians in the museum part

[@bubs45]

the whole concert is great

[@matslendefors7708]

I realy love this song

[@acrata6467]

I'm glad you like it, my favorite singer of all time !!!

[@Y0sh1no5am]

As a kid I always thought Marko was screaming "Slaying.... AAAAA....Dreamer!!" Never heard the The in it I just loved Marko screaming made him so cool and I get such goosebumps when I hear him roar.

[@hellbaron666]

Roses are red violets are blue still waiting the poet and pendulum reaction soon.

[@ericg6306]

With Floor.

[@hellbaron666]

Ofc the live at wembly stadium!

[@ericg6306]

YES! Although the one from Vehicle of Spirit in Mexico 2015 was awesome too.

[@marlonjuracan6215]

the Best song of nightwish

[@roybradshaw4252]

admit it night wish with tarja is the best and tarjjawith her new band is brilliant

[@HeavyRulezz]

TAROT - crows fly black or Wings of Darkness PLS guys,u gonna like the Band. Marco is a lead singer there and of course a bass player

[@aleksierola5093]

I highly recommend Tarot as well! Marco is true pioneer of finnish metal. If you want to see him in action with cool gear and as a young spirit you can watch their audition with their song Wings Of Darkness in Hittimittari-show. You can find the performance from KZbin.

[@aleksierola5093]

And thank you really much for these warmhearted videos! There has been many :'-)-moments for me when I have found you guys enjoying the music I have grown into here in Finland as a kid. I experienced Nightwish first time when I was 10 old and it really shocked me so deeply that it shaped my view of honesty and beautifulness in music so much that I haven't recovered it since. That's why I find it so cute and touching when you are exited about them :). I hope you manage to get yourselves to Tuska to have good time with great bands and see our weird ass little country. I am sure that visiting here will open new perspectives to understand and enjoy Finnish metal :) See ya!

[@APREACTS]

We will be there 100% in 2019 by then we will have the money we need

[@ZoliPetrovic]

Pyre of Gods :)

[@jannepeuraniemi5053]

You should just react to every song from End Of An Era, even if you have seen some of them on different live version. End Of An Era has The best versions available of every song there (Of course, just my opinion). And this is said in no disrespect to Floor, I love her as well ever since she joined Nightwish (and actually even before that, when she was in After Forever). I know you wanted to look Ever Dream with Floor since that was before the show you went in to, but I was so bummed you missed out on the End Of An Era version. It's pure euphoria. Also, after you listen to Moonsorrow you will have two withdrawal cases with Finnish bands ;)

[@mikkolaine4883]

Floor sings it much better.

[@jannepeuraniemi5053]

Mikko Laine Floor is at the very limit of her voice in the chorus, and just about goes over it. And I know she can go higher, but it would require her to change her singing style to the operatic voice. Just like Tarja sings it, and she does it so beautifully. Even better, Marco sings with Tarja through the whole chorus in the end of the song, taking it to a new level. And as we know, their voice go perfectly together. But you are entitled to your opinion and I respect it as a fellow Nightwish fan. Rock on!

[@muhammadadlynaimhassan7979]

Janne Peuraniemi yeah! End of an Era version of Ever Dream was phenomenal. The highs and lows of the song was captured or should I said sang beautifully by Tarja. I felt that version more. Nothing wrong with Floor’s version, she is awesome with her belting out the song and it felt so rock and heavy. But Tarja’s, she made it heartfelt, sense of longing and wanted in that song. She able to bring the emotions much better. That is my 2 cents. \o/

[@josefranciscoflores2839]

Janne Peuraniemi This performance has the Tarja essence...simply the best....Floor is a good singer and sometimes sounds like a pop singer ..nothing especial...only Tarja can sings the old Nightwish songs...these songs were written for her...the meddle songs were written for Anette ..and the new for Floor..i can't imagine Tarja singing Story time or The endless form most beautiful..that songs don't belong to Tarja. And The old songs don't belong to Anette Or Floor. Remenber the old Nightwish has been the best...so TARJA is the BEST

[@michaelvondrake7489]

Gotta take your time, leave the subscribers wanting... Don't forget they have another Live Video from 2 soldout nights at Wembly Arena.

[@Soviet_Saguaro]

Nightwish - The Islander is a must do!

[@crumpledfish]

Man, I envy the music relationship you have with your son. Back when he was 7 or so, my son loved Iron Maiden's "Aces High" followed by Volbeat's "Lola Montez." Then he started before school day care where they played nothing but pop music and nowadays that's all he listens to. I'm hoping he eventually turns it around, but until then, I'll live vicariously through you and your son.

[@APREACTS]

This channel has helped him develop this taste. He always like hard rock but around grade 7 he started listening to hip hop because of his friends so that is why I started the channel. I didn’t want him to start wearing his pants around his knees with 20 inches of underwear showing

[@El_Chong]

A&P-REACTS that comment was gold... That's what I'm trying to stop as well.

[@johnhitchens2265]

Lucky for you guys they released 4 concert DVDs and they are all awesome

[@AT87]

I would pay money to see you walk on stage with them just to do the "ha ha ha" thing at the end.

[@APREACTS]

I am sure many would pay money not to see it. LMAO

[@oceanborn2891]

xD hahahah yes!!

[@TheFundead]

Great vid again guys!!!... Great that you appreciate these guys for all the same reasons i do, and i've been a fan since day 1 when i bought their 1st CD at a local record store and was hooked... Opera metal is a very accurate term for the style and what they do....

[@joshcavaradossi4813]

She still the best voice of nightwish, look at her how she sing that song with soft voice and then she used her powerful lyrical one! Magic

[@hazelangus]

I love this song so much. I think it's my favourite from the Century Child album, though it's hard to say, they're all very good. On the End of Innocence DVD someone (possibly their manager, not sure) actually had to check on Tuomas at one point because the album gave him concerns about Tuomas's mental health. Not surprised. This particular song is so full of pain and rage, and the whole album is quite emotional.

[@ThumperE23]

I totally agree with you they are great live. They are a live band.

[@ricardodosreisschmitt400]

Please guys react to this Nightwish-Dark Chest of Wonder(End of An Era)

[@patrickcurrier1442]

The change in pace part way through the song was epic. It was like a metal opera, perfect description! 😁

[@icedearth3332]

NW has all important musical elements and all of their band members are stars. They are not only a band with singer than many other known bands.

[@ВиталийПрайс]

Try" the pharaoh sails to orion" by the Nightwish next time

[@TheAnriii]

Виталий Прайс Totally agree!

[@jcgmusic16]

Or Devil and The Deep Dark Ocean.

[@LooKerHood]

awesome theme

[@The_Pony]

Виталий Прайс I have suggested this one so many times lol

[@alexmashkin863]

From Wishes to Eternity guys :-) It is an old dvd and there is no Marco, but it is incredible, every single song, all 15 of them :-)

[@WyattsMetalLife]

This is one of my favorite live songs

[@williamhenriksson3595]

Awesome :) Would want to see Insanity's Crescendo - Dark Tranquillity. It will blow your minds :)

[@bogenstark_kai8461]

Liked your reaction. Like the song. Nightwish with Tarja was amazing! But I still think that you guys would have a great time reacting to one of the best live-performances I have ever seen. Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope live in Colorado 2016...

[@nimedhel09]

Hahaha! I totally understand the cult of Nightwish where you have to watch live videos. I'm totally in that cult, it seems. It's been quite some time since I watched End of an Era, but you gave me the need to go watch it again, hahaha!

[@diandraa_]

Please do ever dream live end of an era

[@Zyrac85]

Watching these old Nightwish songs makes me really miss Tarja in Nightwish.. Floor does it well in a *pop* voice and even growls but still.. no1 can replace Tarja \w/

[@y.a.s9198]

If you like what Tarja does with her voice here, you should definitely check her solo career. I'm suggest Ciaran's well, crimson deep and the archive of lost dreams, from her DVD Act 1

[@Tekzal]

NIGHTWISH - Shudder Before The Beautiful (Live at Wembley Arena) next please, please, please, you won't be dissapointed - its so intense i love it.

[@gamingmetalmouse9920]

Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague flowers the kaleidoscope / Painters of the tempest / Urn ... absolute masterpieces

[@gamingmetalmouse9920]

there are a couple of good live recordings of plague ...

[@Latexi_LMX]

Agreed, NW is one the best live bands I have ever seen!

[@Darmok_onthe_ocean]

Floor did this song at the decades concert. I’d always liked the song, but it wasn’t extra. When I saw her do this song, I cried. It was so hardcore amazing.

[@Hitch-82]

i would love to see you react to xandria-a prophecy of a worlds to fall ! i consider this one of the best symhonic metal songs and voice similar with tarja

[@allensaunders449]

Nightwish last ride of the day wacken 2013 live the final song

[@ioanniskostoulas4448]

And Song Of My Self also...

[@allensaunders449]

Ioannis Kostoulas its odd i seem to be the only one who ever requests last ride of the day its a great song and at 2013 wacken was perfect

[@ioanniskostoulas4448]

I suppose everyone who knows this song is convinced that it's so famous by default. No need to mention it. But you're right. It's one of their best at this live show.

[@nick74bul]

The better thing... they have to do the both songs without interruption. It's great..

[@FutileGrief]

YES, this is obligatory

[@wolfdog9954]

If you guys are looking for another Nightwish Vid for next time a really good one to do would be Ghost River Live @ Waken Open Air 2013

[@davidviteris]

Ever Dream (end of an era) is actually the even better version :)

[@FluffyLaDooDoo]

david viteri Agree

[@peterkarargiris4110]

I agree with you Pedro, I feel that some bands simply go through the motions with their audience but others have developed a rapport with their fans and know how to excite the crowd. I found this was the case with Ne Obliviscaris and Arch Enemy recently. Alyssa especially was brilliant with the audience.

[@APREACTS]

I agree, Arch Enemy live is incredible, really great live band. Never seen Ne Obliviscaris but that is changing soon

[@dritakallamata4804]

nightwish wishmaster end of an era

[@TheWiseGrif]

Marco does sing on the album version of Ever Dream, but his vocal are buried in the mix to the point that you can't clearly hear him unless you have good headphones

[@Opsydjon]

Do Storytime from Wacken !!!!! And Paradise from Within Temptation pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@erissanchez9367]

Y'all need to react to Gethsemane by Nightwish! It is one of their early songs. It won't disappoint. Promise!

[@sahara0587]

You should give a try one more time to Ghost Love Score but with Tarja!!!!!

[@-1subswithoutuploadingavid621]

Hell yeah! Naglfar - Harvest Warmen - Lying Delilah

[@cemaciek]

So many Nightwish picks, but where is "Planet Hell" or "End of all hope" {with Tarja of course)? It is the type of power/speed metal you guys would surely love.

[@joona7636]

Nightwish Song of myself live wacken 2013.

[@rafaelpfutze]

Eu estava com saudades dos vídeos do Nightwish aahha

[@waltermorales6728]

If You wanna hear more .. ahh ahh ahhh .. you should listen to "The Siren" also from the End of an Era DVD :D

[@FluffyLaDooDoo]

FINALLY HAHAHA ❤️❤️❤️😍😍🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@fabianechevarria]

Nightwish - Scaretale Live performance with Anette

[@abnercaballero3538]

Yes please. I love that song and is one of the few that not even Floor can do better.

[@asdas89]

plz react Nightwish - Shudder Before The Beautiful (Live @Wembley Arena)

[@bschreibs86]

Speaking of Wacken, if you are planning a heavy metal vacation, check out the yearly heavy metal holiday - basically heavy metal all inclusive.

[@poltergijstt]

A very fun to watch reaction as always, my suggestion: Night Viper-Summon the Dead, it is one of the best metal songs I have heard in a while!

[@kevinanderson9864]

Another symphonic- melodic metal band to suggest a listen to would be Sirenia.

[@sergioneri9140]

Please react to the pharaoh sails to orion , planet hell , crownless , 10th man down , sleeping sun , walking in the air , I miss so much the old nightwish.

[@Laplander89]

I was there in a same concert!

[@AdrianBumbarov]

One of the heavy songs by NW but i think is to underrated like Dead Gardens..From Wacken Live left She is My Sin, Storytime, Bless the Child, Amaranth, Song of Myself, Last Ride of the Day and Last of the Wilds(Instrumental only with Troy).

[@ericg6306]

Basically the ENTIRE WACKEN 2013 shows is amazing!

[@nick74bul]

Adrian Bumbarov And don't forget Ghost River. It was performed awesome..

[@Soviet_Saguaro]

Dead Gardens is an amazing song for sure!

[@AdrianBumbarov]

Oh yeah...I miss Ghost River

[@sergiogamba8419]

Jajajajaj love this reaction, your oh oh oh!, is very funny :)

[@Comingpain]

If you like Marco 's(bass player) voice ,you should listen "the islander" and "while your lips are still red"

[@nick74bul]

As is an order of Wacken 2013 again, please check out Nightwish - Song of Myself. It brings a lot of epic feelings..

[@MrMike2489]

You guys need to react to Stargazers from NightWish, the album version is amazing but there is a great live version with floor aswell, also Epica - Sancta Terra featuring FLoor Jansen Live is amazing too. Great work guys!

[@paraisoperdido4687]

oooh tarja !!! she was and be the only queen of metal ! 🤘

[@pedrone9945]

Tarja killed it... She is the best!

[@Compendyum]

Floor is great, but this is where Tarja draws the line where the limit stands on what comes to opera mix with metal. If you know After Forever, you'll know that Floor has limitations that Tarja doesn't have.

[@AriaIsara]

Have you ever reacted to Delain? Marco Hietala (the male singer/bassist in Nightwish) made many songs with them, there's a video for Sing To Me if you'd like to check it out :) I just love his voice!

[@Songfugel]

I know it is an old video, but.... You have to keep in mind, Marco didn't join the band until 6 years after they had started. Since Annette (and Floor as well to an extent, especially if you go to the very early stuff, you'll notice it even more) can't sing all the most challenging early Nightwish songs. So they have changed some parts to be sang by him, and changed some parts of the songs to be more flattering to Floor's virtuoso way of changing head to chest-voice on the fly (which Tarja couldn't do then). End of an era is pretty much the earliest I recommend going with live performances. They don't do justice to the album versions before that, since they weren't focused in voice/playing quality (as much as today with social media and live recording playing whole different role) as much as just entertaining the audience and having fun, without exerting themselves too much so they can keep on doing hundreds of gigs per tour. Only starting from Imaginarium (2012-2013) tour did they start doing big flashy shows and putting more effort to the showmanship in a whole different level, to make a more complete interwoven spectacle, than individual disconnected songs. As is proven by the Wacken 2013 live performances from that Imaginarium tour, that you have been reacting a lot to. If you are dead set on doing live shows, try to find End of an Era version, or at least privately, listen to the album versions, and be blown away with the difference in quality (particularly in Tarja's pronunciation and vocals, also the guitar player often cuts corners in many of the non-DVD live versions).

[@ialeixo84]

Marco does sing on the recorded version of Ever Dream. It's just not as loud.

[@fasd538]

I read someone saying that Nightwish sounds better live than on CD... and I can definitely second that, from the four or five times I've seen and heard them live. (with Tarja or Annette) There's just something with the songs themselves that really be made for playing in front of a live audience. But anyway, how about some Doom metal from one of the founders of that genre? Yesterday the swedish band Candlemass released a new song named House of Doom! \m/

[@joshrodriguez6023]

Yeah but.... have you done Stream of Passion - Street Spirit, Memento 2016 yet?

[@rooi77]

Hoping for a reaction on The Poet and The Pendulum

[@cassiomuzykant1275]

Hey guys, please do Epica -We will take you with us DVD. It starts with "façade of reality". I'm sure you'll love it. Thanks for the Nightwish/Tarja Turunen reactions so far :D

[@antonsdefrancua]

As there were comments before you should check out Marco's (Bassist and singer) band Tarot. Marco and Tarot are one of the Metal pioneers of Finland! So react please to Tarot-Wings of Darkness

[@vc8997]

try beauty and the beast, from wishes to eternity dvd ✌

[@NatteKrant29]

6:39 thumbs up for Pedro!

[@TheRogueDM]

Slaying The Dreamer definitely sounds better live (and this is the best version of it).

[@El_Chong]

Great REACTION and Great song, never heard it before EXMORTUS Or BLACK FAST Please

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

Scaretale live with Anette, the so infamous singer of Nightwish which many hate but no matter how much they cry, Anette’s versión was the best. It’s a great song, give it a try.

[@OathKeeper95]

Now it's time for The siren, Wishmaster & Bless the child same concert!

[@matevzpocic6647]

Cool song, but my favourite is still dark chest of wonders. What do you guys think of her vocals compared to the current singer? To me this singer lacks of power in higher register while the current one has awesome, accurate and strong voice. My reccomendation: Persefone - mind as universe

[@APREACTS]

I used to prefer Tarja over Floor...I am not so sure I agree with that opinion anymore. The more I listen to this band the more I prefer Floor.

[@mikkolaine4883]

This video shows very well Tarja’s problems with chest notes. They are so lifeless and dirty. Classical style she’s moderate. Floor does everything better

[@vorspiel8]

You must reaction to Angina from Tristania guys❤ loviu

[@carlosdejesus816]

[@pavolridrich3434]

damn good OH OH OH from you :D .... question... Are you buying all those t-shirts? :D holy cow, Iced Earth is WICKED. BTW... I love Nightwish live shows, but I think you should see SLEEPING SUN video. Amazing video for masterpiece slow song. So maybe as extra bonus one day. But there are two official videos for this song. One with Tarja in bath (not like that :D) and on meadows and stuff... and the other version, newer, with knights and swords and killing :D ... that one is KICKASS!

[@APREACTS]

That Iced Earth one was purchased at the concert last month. We do buy 90% of our shirts the other 10% the bands send them to us. But we buy at least 1 shirt at every show we attend.

It's not exacly related but I've been watching your Eluveitie reactions and I noticed you guys seem to like that bad, I wanted to suggest you watch Inis Mona. It's similair to King and Thousandfold, and is one of their most iconinc musics.
