Ensiferum - Live in Helsinki, Finland, 25.03.2003 (Full Set with Jari)

[@frostmortum]

The trve Ensiferum!!..

[@ChristianVirial]

I wanna go to festivals to drink lots of beers and listen to loud music again!! 😢

[@TrulyStucker]

we all do :(

[@514BMXJay]

Went to a show the other night. Holy shit it was good to see live music again. Wasn't even that heavy but I loved it.. Dooms Children. Wade from Alexisonfire is the lead singer/guitarist!

[@CaptainPupu]

You can go now COVID take a vacation I don't know where did it go but it's gone for now. Well, until the next time the government needs money.

[@Kalsarikannit72]

Hello friend. I am from 2 years in the future and shows are back to normal 😊

[@joseluiscastillo4730]

This is absolute pure gold, and it sounds incredible compared to what one could expect of the video quality

[@JayTor2112]

The video has been through hell, the master probably looks much better. Video suffers more than audio from VHS generation and digital compression.

[@TrulyStucker]

@@JayTor2112 how do you even know which gen is it? Unless you know exactly the camcorder model and know how master would look like. Sometimes 1st gen or even master can look bad due to bad camcorder. This one definitely hasn't been through hell, it's 1st gen at max and rendered at maximum possible quality to match the KZbin algorithms (with upscaling).

[@raulcrespo.9]

​​@@TrulyStuckerThis is 2nd gen probably, the halos on the edges prove it, the other option is that it comes from a mini dv tape badly transfered or transfered to vhs (you know, maybe somebody who didn't have dvd back in the day asked for a vhs copy and it was him who liberated it)

[@nirmalpaul13]

Markus, man, what a legend!! The backbone of the band.

[@TrulyStucker]

Previously was uploaded only as bunch of several songs. It was uploaded too long time ago and KZbin has deleted all the streams but 240p, so it's the best quality on KZbin. Another one from the archives during these unprecedented pandemic quarantine times. I will upload random show from my personal collection on a regular basis now. Even if some shows are already on youtube, my version will be in best possible quality as long as it's rendered and uploaded matching KZbin algorithms. Today's the Ensiferum day! 00:00 Token Of Time 05:35 Windrider 11:46 Lost In Despair 17:10 Treacherous Gods 22:39 Hero In A Dream 26:53 Abandoned 33:26 Old Man 38:45 Fight Fire With Fire (Metallica Cover) Great audio quality on this one despite video being so muddy.

[@rendikpindik1104]

Just gonna leave this here. This might be the first and last show where I see musicians perform the intro live. Worth it its legendary.

[@sartajhanspal5604]

Hey thanks for uploading this rare video! Just a small correction : 00:00 is not Token of Time, it's Ferrum Aeternum. Token of Time starts at 01:25

[@dreamxxx333mmm2]

ferrum aeternum is a song from 2004 album iron , this is 2003 year :D

[@sartajhanspal5604]

@@dreamxxx333mmm2 It is easily possible that they may have it written and recorded a demo of it by the time this concert happened. Look up ferrum aeternum and listen to it, and compare it with what they were playing here from 0:23 till 01:25. Granted that they played only a small section from Ferrum Aeternum, the introductory tune is exactly the same, except for the addition of the snare drum beat - that is of course, before Token Of Time starts at 01:25

[@TheRogueDM]

@@dreamxxx333mmm2 Yeah it's definitely Ferrum Aeternum - Jari wrote a lot of his stuff for Wintersun in the 90s so no surprise that they already had an intro by the time they released the first Ensiferum album

[@Jisker91]

@@dreamxxx333mmm2 Lost in Despair is also from Iron, so they must have had some of it done by 2003.

[@nickap_ca6814]

It's not only Jari but also Oliver and Jukka-Pekka

[@juned_syafitra]

and Meiju Enho on keys ❤️

[@mtlman906]

That metallica cover is 🔥🔥

[@HeavyMetalSonicRM]

Jari was like the Hetfield of Finland.

[@Fabulousideiumn]

Yeah and still got kicked out of the band..

[@TrulyStucker]

@@Fabulousideiumn how come Jari was kicked out of Ensiferum if he left to get Wintersun recorded and released? First time I hear he was kicked out.

[@KingPinniped]

Jari had originally meant to continue with Ensiferum until the live shows following Iron conflicted with the timing of the recording of the Wintersun debut. It's not that he was unable or unwilling to participate in the studio activities of more than one band. Ensiferum was forced to replace him to tour the Iron album cycle while it was still new.

[@CovntFapula-uc1gl]

What's a Hetfield?

[@KingPinniped]

@@CovntFapula-uc1gl James Hetfield, the vocalist and primary guitarist on Metallica recordings. The first two Ensiferum albums derive a lot of their thrash metal side from Jari's Metallica influence. I think I remember hearing that Metallica covers helped teach him how to sing in the beginning. A "Hetfield" as a colloquial noun is someone who excels at the multitasking harsh vocals/thrash guitar role.

[@dargormetaltv]

Sounds awesome. Ensiferum - Ensiferum is my favourite album of them. And the favourite thing Jari has ever created.

[@Ivan-fg666]

Ensiferum!!!!! What a great band, and they are doing great nowadays! I love their music!

[@joakimsvedberg8837]

Love this! Dreaming about seeing all the old Ensiferum songs live with Jari 🤟 thank you for giving me a part of it

[@dahudge9]

man I wish I could have seen that solo from Token

[@jasonstuart6594]

They totally killed it on Windrider! One of the first songs that got me to lobe this band so many years ago! Markus is a legend

[@hugow5653]

good old days when Jari was still around!

[@TheMetalMarci]

True, but at the same time I’m glad he didn’t ruin Ensiferum the way he’s doing currently with Wintersun.

[@thelittlesagg2]

@@TheMetalMarci What's happening with Wintersun?

[@PauloMota]

@@TheMetalMarci, most of the songs from the two first Ensiferum albuns were created by Jari alone. Wintersun is his main band.

[@TheMetalMarci]

@@PauloMota I’m aware, both albums are among my favorites to this day. I’m not sure what you meant by the last sentence, though.

[@TheMetalMarci]

@@thelittlesagg2 They got hundreds of thousands of dollars through crowdfunding, but failed to fulfill the things they promised in return. If you have some popcorn, I suggest checking out Wintersun’s comment sections. Usually, somebody explains the situation better and with more details than I just did. :-)

[@starchildnguyen5259]

Intro of lost indespair is very melancholic that was dissapeared in the album version 😂

[@James-px6hp]

It's actually amazing how good this sounds

[@evandrocruz-BlackNight]

Ensiferum old times... I fucking love that! ENSIFERUM \,,/

[@TanaBaka]

Jari's screams are still amazing today, but they were SURREAL in 2003!

[@TrulyStucker]

@@TanaBaka last time we heard his screaming was on the last show almost 5 years ago. But I hope it's still amazing.

[@md64]

I wish I was there. I also would like to give Jari a hug.

[@viennaloops3698]

This is pure gold!!!! ❤

[@oskarstrom4034]

Thanks for uploading this! The first two records with Jari were so good. I own the first one on vinyl and it's one of my all time favourite records.

[@DarthWinterMadness]

Thanks for the upload man, that's really awesome to watch! I'd love to see some sort of reunion tour with Jari playing songs from their first two albums, if not in their entirety. Of course not a permanent return into the band, that probably wouldn't happen. But a one-off tour would be really cool. Cheers from France! 🍻

[@Silmarien73]

Thank you for this, much appreciated

[@Windrider666]

Thanks for uploading! Still one of my favorite bands to this day

[@jthomashair]

I'm glad we have this recording ❤

@@pucherinify1 para gustos colores, para mi los mejores años fueron con Jari Maempaa, q sigo escuchando sus últimos discos, por supuesto, pero como los 2 primeros ninguno... Para mí Petri es un excelente músico, pero Jari es un genio

[@willyrosenkrantz8037]

El Old Ensiferum es una joya, Jari y Toivonen estaban bien juntos.

[@KOSOVOisSERBIA222]

Thank you very much, I wanted to listen Ensiferum with Jari especially cuz on others videos from live performance mostly ppl would comment...nahh it sounds much better with Jari etc.. I mean song which I would like to hear is Lai Lai Hei, but I think it's not recorded..

[@thomasshredster4627]

golden era :D

[@fatihyildirim4802]

Jari shouldn't have left Ensiferum. First 2 albums were on God mode.

[@TrulyStucker]

Ensiferum released music too regulary for his taste. Jari needed his own band to release 2.5 records in 20 years.

[@fatihyildirim4802]

@@TrulyStucker to be honest I don't like Petri period. Victory Songs and From Afar a little good but the others are really bad. Also I don't like Wintersun albums except first debut album.

[@Fabulousideiumn]

@@fatihyildirim4802 Actually Jari got kicked out of the band because he was going to record hes first album.

[@metalart1143]

But wintersun 2004 album epic and phenomenal in death melodic

[@sat8959]

Jari's Wintersun albums are better than anything Ensiferum released with or without him. It would be better for Ensiferum if he stayed, but Jari is clearly not a follower type of person and needs full creative control.

[@zaphy6342]

What's with camera people at concerts and panning away from the lead guitarist during solos? Amazing footage though, thanks for uploading

[@TrulyStucker]

I'll reply you as a dude who filmed over 200 shows under different circumstances in different clubs and countries. Most of the times if you film on camera (not cellphone), it's forbidden. So you can't just concentrace on filming a show, you have to ALWAYS be careful about security guys, plus sometimes if you film from a pit, there might be an action near you, a lot of things can discract. Most people who watch audience recordings for some reason do not consider these points. - This particular show looks like a stealth shot, filmer hid his camera and didn't look at videoscreen all the time, that's why it has so little zooms. At the same time it's the ONLY full Ensiferum show with Jari that caught on camera, so the one who did it is the legend nonetheless. - In my footage I always concentrate on solos when nothing distracts me.
