[@rickphil9999]

Absolute perfection. Thank you both for this reaction to our beloved Nightwish with Floor on lead vocals. Loved it.

[@kentk2215]

This has definitely become the ultimate version of the song, I believe.

[@maksphoto78]

This, but also the Argentina version.

[@johndreessen7335]

Good reaction. Certainly my favorite version of Storytime. Seen it a lot of times. Floor nailed it and to be honest much better then Anette. She even was not an official member of Nightwish. This whole concert is amazing and Upness. Thanks, Terry, for requesting this one. Thanks for this reaction.

[@goodehands5388]

Yes, actually she and Troy were official members, just not announced.

[@shannontaylor345]

For me Wacken 2013 beat any other gig ive been too or Artists i've seen. Ive seen Nightwish 6 times, i was at Wembley for Live Aid, ive been to Glastonbury and Kerrand Awards, but this legendary concert was the best of them all.

[@darkiee69]

They had two more shows after Wacken, then the tour would be over. The band had been on tour for a year and a half, and changed singer mid tour. And they all knew by then that Floor was the one. That's what all the smiles are about, the unity, they were a whole band again. And the love from the fans too.

[@jeffk1482]

Right?!? The *fan love* speaks volumes!!! They knew and felt NW were whole again, a unit. When you watch the entire concert, you see SO many people singing along with every piece. During “Last of The Wilds” you can see one guy screaming “NIGHTWISH IS BACK!” And in this one, I think the girl in the bright colors says it all. I mean seriously, arms thrown wide, head to the sky, singing “Every memory that you hold dear!”. If THAT doesn’t define the Nightwish experience I don’t know what would! (Okay, the Buenos Aires crowd during I Want My Tears Back too!)

[@JStephens_73]

At this point, Floor had only been with Nightwish for 10 months.

[@darkiee69]

@@jeffk1482 But that was later. 😉 But you can see both Emppu and Marko look over at Floor with joy, exaltation and admiration every now and then during the whole show.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

I concur. Nightwish is so much more as Wacken.🤘

[@larryd4352]

I concur! This concert put Nightwish back into the limelight! As for me....Storytime, this version at Wacken, is my favorite NW song! Jukka's drum solo...fantastic!!

[@scottfield5849]

I like to consider this Wacken show as the most successful audition for a band ever. People thought Tuomas was writing for Tarja and Annette, but in the end it's clear he was always writing for Floor. Rock on. 🤘😎👍

[@terrytheukdude9402]

Hey Guy's, as always, a great review, it is such a joy, to watch music lovers, and music makers like you Harry, and Sharlene, when their faces start smiling, and their Jaws drop wide open when they hear and see this Amazing Band called Nightwish, and the Queen, of Metal, and everything ells that she sings, She just turns it into pure gold, Our Amazing Floor Jansen, who is a true gift to this world. She is often copied, but will never be bettered, I Loved it H and S. ❤❤Now bring on Estass.

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

A Master composer, Master Musicians and topped off with Perfection, that is the Valkyrie Goddess Floor ❤😇😇😇🤘

[@michaelpearson1709]

Great reaction as always please react to Nightwishes sonde Devil and the deep dark ocean from Argentina in 2018

[@ieradossantos]

2:08 She said this was powerful ;D She has no idea what is about to happen on that stage :DD:D:

[@HughHarding46]

Walken 2013 was a PERFECT show, not one mistake that I have been able to find.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

What is with Hellfest or Deichbrand 2022. You see it. Only a Question. 🤔

[@janjanssen9629]

No mistake? I have been able to find one… it was to short….

[@Frankamaria]

I love Deichbrand and Hellfest ❤

[@ralfmeyer9086]

@@Frankamaria Ich glaube, Deichbrand ist immer noch in dir Maria. Hab beide "nur" in den Livestreams gesehen. Together with the Nightwish family. It must be amazing. Greetings again from the Dümmer See to Franken.🤘🌹

@@ralfmeyer9086 it is ^^ das war eines der besten Konzerte für mich (live)

[@marcelofarah8657]

Is this a reupload?

[@ArumesYT]

I totally agree about Jukka. Kai is technically better. But Kai drums like he's peeling potatoes. Jukka really puts his heart and soul in every hit.

[@jroutasula5250]

React something from Nightwish live Deichbrand 2022. "Tribal" maybe. Greetings from Finland.

[@jws6181]

superm reaction Sharlene and Herman/Harry...( Herman is a name of the Netherlands I believe?) more of wacken please...all the songs are Magic so take a pick😁great listen to the details in the song, nice review, guys love it...greetings from the Netherlands❤#BeSafe

[@mariellevanrossum7103]

You should really check out the live version of the phantom off the opera; ziggo dome netherlands 2022……. that last note….🤩

[@keithharris3734]

From the "innocence" operatic part until the end is utter perfection. With Nightwish and Floor you take it for granted that this is a live performance - perfection. Also, good call about the audience. They all know the lyrics and they look absolutely ecstatic to be there, as they should be.

[@johnmc128]

Wacken 2013 raised the bar.

[@LuisRdzG10]

You should add some thongs hanging on the wall with the guitars... that would be hilarious xD

[@ericsaari2901]

Greatest performance of Storytime. My favorite song by Nightwish. Also one of my favorite choruses of any song. Just amazing! Floor has said Everdream is the hardest song she has sung. If you haven't, check out the Wacken 2013 version of it. Definitely worth it!

[@ericdrager6281]

I concur

[@steviesellers]

Floor says Ever Dream for her was the most difficult vocal to sing , i agree with you though just all the lyrics

[@JStephens_73]

This was only the second song I had heard and made me an instant fan-for-life from that moment on

[@roy19491]

have you guys seen "Phantom of the Opera" recently performed by Floor and Henk Poort in Amsterdam?....spoiler alert: a 12 second sustained E6.....

[@MrFuzzy1953]

Floor is the gift that keeps on giving....

[@Slick-ng5kf]

Emppu following Floor up the scale with the pinch harmonics is one of my many favorite parts of this song. The opening bass line before the drums kick in is another. Jukka’s tom work was my favorite part of his drumming (apart from his personality back there) and this song really highlights that. 🤘.

[@RobinC63]

Jukka’s intensity in this is mesmerizing.

[@wimvank.7463]

Ah, it's floor you know. What else. Greetings from Holland.

[@NanetteR]

Only thing about the subtitles in this one is when she sings the first high part, they say innocence, innocence but if you watch her, she says Neverland, innocence. Same in some of the other songs. I guess some lyrics changed a bit when Floor took over as lead. Love her, by the way.

[@alexandrabarrenbrugge4585]

Hallo you both 😁, I can't believe it! 😲 After all these centuries that you are reacting to NIGHTWISH , it is the FIRST time you are listening to this version?! 🤤 I was sure that i saw you freaking out to it! But, better late than.... Yes, it is the best version. Thank you for the music, and i wonder what else you might have missed. Looking forward to it, never enough NIGHTWISH and reactions to them 😉. Greetings from Germany 🤗 and parkinson's sucks ⚘and EMPPU RULES 😎🤘 alex

[@Ironma556]

Wow great reaction

[@MiniLemmy]

That’s the magic of Floor! She can take Annette’s vocals for this track and make them 100X better!!

[@mirekhalek2948]

🤦 No ..

[@andrewmckay362]

lol, Annette couldn't even sing the whole song...

[@TimoArula]

This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you guys witnessed a "Dutch Windmill" , and to finish you off, The Operatic "Cruise Missile" !!!! Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bullwhip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch. Awesome tune , although it is kind of a popish sound (originally sung by Anette, the second singer of Nightwish), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Including this "Operatic" part, what was originally done by children's choir because vocal limitations on their second singer (Great singer also, I might add), but Floor has none of that "Limit". Nightwish lyrics are often a bit interpretive, and not as "straightforward" as many other bands, because Tuomas ( The Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen: founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish.) prefers people to put their own interpretations and life experiences into the lyrics. you connect with songs on a personal level when there is something there that relates to things you have gone/are going through, and you may even find new connections later on in life when you have gone through other big events/emotions. there might be songs you are quite indifferent about (oh, nice song) and then you go through something big and all of a sudden it makes you break down in tears because now you relate to something in the lyrics you didn't before, and see it from a whole new perspective. imagination and life experiences are powerful, and Tuomas has great appreciation of this. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

[@berndgross7921]

Kai is a great drummer, but i miss the beast jukka 🤘

[@MrKarten67]

Norway: This is my neighbor's favorite song. whether he likes it or not🤘

[@bennybuffylove]

LOL...same for my wife.

[@RustyHeartsTOV]

Could you please react to "hi ren"? It is really powerful.

[@jeffmcilroy7081]

Charlene looking hot as hell!😍

[@IgorEngelen1974]

great song but feeling very sad now that Marco has left. Not sure if i’ll ever see them in their full glory again.

[@ToTheWolves]

This is the first time you're reacting to storytime after several months?

[@Thorgrim247]

Floor was giving it her best belting in this performance. Other versions seem she is conserving her power and singing in a more conservative mixed voice style. She knows what she needs to do to keep her voice strong and healthy on a long tour schedule.

[@jamesanderson5268]

The Wacken 2013 concert is one of the best concert I have ever seen on video right up there with Pink Floyd's Pulse concert. Great performances and great audio.

[@jamieberrings9753]

Great reaction as usual. You want a hard song to sing? Try Shoemaker. Tuomas didn’t think they could do it live. They did and it’s amazing!

[@marianogonzalez1977]

Guys I would really love to see you react to "Dead Boy's Poem" live from Buenos Aires, such a gorgeous performance from all of them, specially Floor and Emppu. A joy as always to share this reactions with you. Cheers from Buenos Aires!

[@pdutchie4924]

This performance lifts you up from wherever you are❣️

[@janihaavisto79]

And when you remember that Floor was relatively new to this band and setlist when this happened. Whoa aah! As Marco said in one interview/documentary he has enjoyed reacting to fans reacting to Floor. And in this particular song it shows, everyone in their turn are looking at Floor and giving the I approve nod. She was killing it in this very night.

[@Honken55]

Well she was getting warm. Was 10 months in

[@Bozitsar1]

Thank you for your great reaction! I have a question…how come you two don’t have a reaction on Dream Theater songs? Especially when seeing all the beauties (guitars) on the wall behind… I am sure you know who John Petrucci is… 😊

[@ricofila5816]

The best Version of this Song. 🤟🏻 A lot of Songs from Nightwish you haven't React. My personal Suggestions are "Shudder before the Beautiful" (for my Opinion the best Opener), then "Dark Chest of Wonders"... also an Opener. And one Song, the Last from Marko Hietala as Nightwish Member, "Endlessness". Greetz from Germany. 🔥🤟🏻

[@craigramsay53]

Wait...what? You two have never done the Wacken Storytime? I am amazed. Well glad you got to it- KNEW you'd love it once you started. My favourite performance of one of my top five NW songs.

[@klaymor73]

The whole concert is freakin' amazin', best concert of my life.

[@hansswaerdens1334]

Hope that Phantom of the Opera performance from the Ziggo Dome in Holland is next on your list. You guys will LOVE that version so much ;-)

it's weird when vocal melody goes faster than drum beat

[@1982jeepcj8]

This seems to be the show where the band gelled as a whole, after, Annette leaving mod tour, the scars of Tarja where still sore, things came together here.

Get on the Nightwish express. It takes you away. You don’t know where they’ll take you but you know it going to be friggin’ epic. Wacken 2013 starring Nightwish and co-starring the 80,000 is..wow!! The energy this band always creates with their crowd connection is incredible!! Sensory overload….and Floorgasms..NW style!!

[@FrankWirth-ij4rq]

@ 6:28 there is a dude in the crowd looks a little out of place, Ill wait for you-------------------- see him. White hat, blue fucking shirt, no clapping, moving? I thought he was CGI. He belongs on the set of Miami Vice with Don Johnson, hilarious. Im stoned other wise I wouldnt have spotted him. Weird hey? Did you?

[@mikebuchner7781]

Hi guys, „long time no see“, tx for a great reaction, but I think, this was an easy one, because the band was phenomenal and Floor …..she is just amazing. Guys, do yourself a favor and check the opener at Wacken, it is called „Chest of wonders“…….I am 1000% sure, that you will enjoy it! Hope you have a great time in SA, by the way in October I will finally move back to NAM, can’t wait for it!😊

[@jhgrc]

What if I told you about rock police not getting it when 80'000 people around you certainly does. Would you believe me? Look during Jukka's drum solo on audience cam the guy with a hat on the left. Cannot be unseen.. ever... 😂

[@andreashorst1390]

Floor Jansen has done more for women than anyone else. Look how many women are there. wonderful

[@hakannorlings2439]

If you don't heard it before, you should look up Nightwish song The Greatest show on earth and react to that. It's amazing.....

[@fahfah2010]

If you get the chance, listen to songs you've reacted to sung by Floor, then listen to the same song but from Annette n Tarja. You'll get (at least I do) a great understanding why so many took to Floor so quickly after Wacken 2013.

[@wanmac31]

Have you spotted the time traveller in blue denim with the hat not clapping ??????

[@lifeofpasche]

Love the hair 🤩, and awesome reaction as always 🤘🏻

[@elvwood]

My favourite performance from my favourite concert, not much else to say. There are many songs where I prefer how Tarja or Anette start a song compared to how Floor starts it, some where I prefer their versions overall, but I don't think there are any where I prefer their final vocals to Floor's! She always comes up with something stunning.

[@damienmaynard8892]

Powerhouse indeed! Those Goddess notes and Jukka going off! Great reaction!

[@majbrat]

My fav version for sure. So awesome and joyful. Floor nailing every part. Band is tight and driving that beat. Jukka master of drums - my fav drum section in any song ever. So good.

[@jasonmarshall7572]

I always like how Floor uses like an attack and release on the vocals. Also 2013 Wacken concert i believe is there best followed by Wembley Arena London but that my opinion based on Crowd energy, Lighting and effects, video quality, sound quality and overall performance. Also the camera panning makes a difference when watching from home. Thank you guys.
