It's easy to deal with the pauses when they are there for a reason, they give you time to drop your pieces of gold so the reason is obvious.

[@davidcook482]

I totally agree with you. These pauses are well timed to highlight particular aspects that wouldn’t mean as much if addressed later. Of course, there are times that one wouldn’t want to pause, such as the last couple of minutes of Ghost Love Score - that’s like a sin. Haha.

[@deadohiosky1701]

Every time I watch this I think how most of those 82,000 people had no idea what they were in for, most probably had not yet heard Floor as part of Nightwish. You can see it on the faces of the crowd through the progression of the show. There are earlier shows and videos, of course, but this is really the beginning of Nightwish with Floor in my book. I'm just happy to have been alive during this time to hear and see it as a contemporary.

[@joshuaburba2905]

"I'm not sorry about any pauses. Deal with it." THANK YOU! Best line of the entire reaction, imo. Take care Chase.

[@gabbo164]

If people don’t like the pauses then why the hell are they watching a reaction video???

[@joshuaburba2905]

@@gabbo164 Exactly. And nevermind the fact that, if reactors don't pause frequently enough, their videos are blocked for copyright issues. They are forced to pause a lot, whether they want to or not. But, people complaining about pauses either don't realize that's the case, or are too selfish to care. I would like to see those people start their own channel and try doing reactions without pausing. They would quickly realize how many hours are spent trying to do just one video for our entertainment. Have a good one.

It was the opener of the show, so they started with a bang.

[@birdbranch]

This is how every consert should open. This is an epic show opener.

[@Bloodyria]

I'm from Argentina, we have super cheesy parties to celebrate when girls turn 15, they enter the room with big princess dresses and songs like "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" by Britney, then there was old little me, with a short black dress and this song playing as I came in. Tarja left, Anette came, I drifted away from Nightwish, until I heard this dvd, starting with this song and I was 14 all over again. Still my favorite band and I kinda want to turn 30 to redo that entrance 😂 Would love your reaction to Gethsemane at Buenos Aires! Also, I just realised you haven't done High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) yet! Please check it out, amazing thing, like all Nightwish things.

[@zvolencan1]

The song cuts short probably because immediately after this starts I Wish I Had an Angel. These are like a double high energy combo that can´t be separated. I suggest you continue with that next time, Chase.

[@jessicakoster2543]

I think there wasn't a shred of doubt in anyone's mind, that Floor was there to stay. When you open like this, on this festival, you are presenting her to the world!

[@katerinam8752]

A suggestion for your next reaction is something I have seen been requested a lot in the comments of your earlier Nightwish reactions: High Hopes, a tribute Nightwish made to Pink Floyd. Really worth checking it out, especially if you familiar with this song. Nightwish version is really interesting and Markos vocals out of this world. Keep up the great work.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

OMG, this is the Opener for her Concert. I mean the most Bands wants stuff ,like this, as her last Song hihi

[@mysticeyes_]

Chase is in full fanboy mode today haha. Love it. After this banger of a track, maybe slow it down a bit next week with Sleeping Sun, End of an Era? It is not only one of the most famous Nightwish songs, it is also the quintessential Tarja song I'll say. Nothing too complex tbh but it's just beautiful. Floor also has done Sleeping Sun btw and her rendition is gorgeous too. So I wouldn't mind a reaction to both, just sayin' haha.

[@deeteenw]

Great analysis as always! As for recommendations - well you have a few more from Wacken to go, but for an interlude may I suggest "Sleeping Sun"? You could do Floor and/or Tarja, both are excellent (Anettes version is OKish, but not more). As for Wacken "Last Ride of the Day" is certainly another banger, also "She is My Sin" is excellent. "Last of the Wilds" is a beautiful piece giving Floor time to change her dress (didn't quite make it though, as you can see in the following song "Bless the Child", another recommendation). But if you don't mind studio versions, you really need some Anette in your life. Generally a bit on the softer side but nonetheless masterful compositions. A good example is "Meadows of Heaven", Tuomas ode to his childhood. 2 minutes until you hear the first drums and 4 minutes before Emppu gets a go, but totally worth the wait. Tank can tell you a bit about "Scaretale" (arguably her best recorded live performance, among with "Slow Love Slow" from Montreux)

[@allenhuling598]

Gr8 recommends....love, Meadows Of Heaven!!

[@jakebronner2371]

Still remember that show as if it was yesterday. It's so memorable also because of the contrast. The slot before them was Alice Cooper, who put on a nice, solid horror rock show as he usually does. All nice and cozy, friendly colours and stuff. Then after the change-over, Nightwish just blasted everyone out of the park, in-sane.

I would go for Last Ride of the Day or Wish I Had an Angel (If you have not done yet). Gethsemane Live in Buenos Aires is a very interesting one, too. Edit: I experience sheer joy when listening to Last Ride of the Day, but I guess for an analysis, Gethsemane would be more interesting.

[@3WWizard]

I don't know if it's just me, but it feels like you have levelled up as a reactor. Maybe it's because it is Nightwish or just you have a good amount of experience now. You seemed more confident in presenting your ideas, more unapologetic for your style, and less reserved about letting your personality shine through. It's always been fun and educational since I started watching around the time of the first Band-Maid reaction, but this one just seemed like you've stepped up your game a bit. Also, another fantastic Nightwish song and reaction. So happy to be hearing these songs for the first time along with these reactions.

[@danielosheigh4793]

Hell yeah!! Thank you Chase!! Another awesome break down, to help explain why i get goosebumps and frogs in my throat when I watch them play :-) And of course Floor has the best windmills in the business...she IS Dutch after all, they are ALL about their windmills. Floor's hair is officially the 7th member of Nightwish HAHA. One thing I notice about Floors windmilling, from a massage therapists standpoint, I like to see her take that aggressive stance, one foot in front of the other, knees bent, hand on her hip and shes actually rotating her shoulders and upper back and letting her head swivel with their momentum, not making it with her neck by itself. Great base, that'd make for good longevity and less strain on her neck, thereby her vocals. You may not be a Julia for vocals but you certainly are a Chase when it comes to dissecting composition, transition, meter, rhythm and instrumental sounds my good man. Never sell yourself short ;-)

[@oh_hey_its_b]

Her voice just does not get tired. She trains it like a machine. So much breath control and muscle memory, so that not only does she have an amazingly supported wide range, her voice is strong and consistent from show-start to finish. It is truly remarkable. Btw, I say "remarkable" and "smart" at least once a day everyday, without even thinking about it. You are influencing music-listening AND vocabulary! Ha! :)

[@MigsDances]

Speaking of muscle memory, note the key change at 14 : 54. It makes the placement of “so long ago” even more challenging and impressive. I have always wondered what her warm up exercises entail for her to just walk out and be able to hit that first note (and all subsequent notes) with total confidence.

[@oh_hey_its_b]

[@ANDZIGCREAM]

Again, Happy song. Alpenglow from Wembley

[@Silvar55x]

Maybe this and "Ghost Love Score" have similar structures because they're originally from the same album - Once (2004). Tuomas tends to change his composition styles and influences album to album.

[@Silber7]

More importantly, each album has a noticable consistant identity throughout. Nearly everyone is more than a collection of songs - it makes sense to hear them in connection. As well as musically and composition-wise even thematicly (even if most may not be 'concept albums' in the narrower sense) The 'once' (ha!) lost Innocence and longing on Once is always present and many songs even reference each other

[@Cabernal]

The whole once album has very solid guitar lead parts. This is also the opener for what some fans think is their best album ever.

[@Cabernal]

I hope eventually you'll get into doing studio versions of some of these, live has a lot of energy but you lose a lot of the orchestration and choir work. I'm sure you'd love it.

[@Timmayytoo]

This song has a special place in my heart because it was my introduction to Nightwish. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. This song was on the same album (Once) as Ghost Love Score, so it makes sense that you hear a relationship between the songs. I LOVE Floor and I appreciate how she has tweaked some older songs a bit to fit her vocal style better, but overall she tries to keep the songs in the style of the original vocalist. In this song, the operatic run she does just before the breakdown and near the end of the song is very much a Tarja highlight on the album, and Floor does a terrific job of keeping the "Tarja-ness" of that part in her performance.

[@Darnaguen]

This song was the best kind of punch in the face back in 2004. Nightwish had used a symphony orchestra on their previous album, Century Child, but this was the first time with Pip Williams and the LSO and the soundscape was just on whole another level. Also the absolute best show opener, I'm glad they brought it back to the set with Floor.

[@gayleeidson6724]

Excellent Reaction 👍. Soooo much attention to detail ! I Love it ❤️

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you so much 😁

[@mnewm21]

Tuomas and the rest of the band do beg borrow and steal but they do so from such a wide variety of sources and often the ideas come from outside their genre. Yet there is still a sound that they have that for me says Nightwish, I don't know what it is but it is there. I also find that their music sounds bright compared to most bands in this genre and I think that energizes the crowds and gives a much more party feel when in the crowd.

[@APMM58]

Every Saturday is a feast because of you do a reaction of a Nightwish song.

[@konradstanczyk5158]

I think it would be so awesome if you considered making something like a "Symphonic Saturday" series, in which you'd explore all the amazing symphonic metal bands that you've only scratched the surface of (like Within Temptation, Epica, Delain) or haven't checked out yet (like Xandria or Blackbriar)

Also this particular performance makes me really emotional. because i was there that night at Wacken and it was awesome. it was the night they introduced Floor and she blew our freaking mind...

Glad to see you genuinely enjoying the greatest band out there. As a small twist you should react to something off their debut album Angels Fall First. Normally when people ask me about it I remind them that we don't talk about that album or I'll say, "Angels Fall First? What's that?" but I'd be interested in a detailed diagnostic that examines their starting place and how it connects to their modern style.

Oooh, Chase reached a sassy level 😏 "don't care, deal with it" 😂 Otherwise, very nice analysis. Made my sleepless night a lot more fun.

[@spinningiris]

That "tribal chanting" you are hearing are actually timpani drums in the orchestral backing track (It's easier to tell on the studio recording). Great choice for a song reaction. "Dark Chest of Wonders" is one of my absolute favorites so I've listened to it so many times, and the orchestra kills it as much as the band. For something old and awesome I suggest "Stargazers."

And it's not because of lack of ideas on Tuomas's part but because a lot of Nightwish songs "talk to" each other. There are lyrical and musical themes that weave throughout their entire discography, and across albums. There's the concept of 'Ocean soul' or - more generaly - ocean and waves, these themes keep popping out all across their albums, just to give you an example. Another example - How's the Heart from the new album - references Elan from Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Elan references Meadows of Heaven from Dark Passion Play *and* The Poet and the Pendulum. My home was there 'n then Those meadows of heaven Adventure-filled days One with every smiling face This theme is all over the place.

This song is an opener, it opened this show and also End of an Era show and it opened the album Once :) Also Ghost Love Score is also from the album Once

Chase, many thanks for your reactions. I loved Nightwish already before, but you finally make me understand why this is case. Many thanks again, please keep up your brilliant work explaining music for those among us, which do not have this background knowledge. :-)

Annette singing DCoW live was my introduction to Nightwish. You should react to her. As it often happens, she's a little raw live, but she really puts her heart into it.

[@gilganos5276]

I think Once as a whole is still the greatest album they've produced so far... Banger from start to end.

[@zumwansi6734]

Such a BANGER of an opener!

[@badsiony]

Your next Nightwish Saturday falls on Halloween, so you have to do Scaretale, it'll be super appropriate :D just pick the version you do carefully, as they're not all equal...

[@mantailuaa]

Or maybe do double reaction, album and live version? 🤘🏼

[@nassj6593]

Or triple?

[@badsiony]

@@mantailuaa hell yeah, that'd be epic!!

[@AleksandarGospic]

But this version, official video sucks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ-8o6aZhJqYhJo

[@badsiony]

@@AleksandarGospic there's a fan made version with bits from this concert and bits from the Nightwish movie, and it's better than the official live, so maybe that one instead...
