What better way to conclude the year as to recapture one of its outstanding highlights by revisiting Finnish Symphonic Metal legends NIGHTWISH taking the likewise legendary Wacken Open Air by storm? After being decorated with triple platinum status in Finland as well as gold status in numerous European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, among others) for their most current studio masterpiece »Imaginaerum« and following the highly successful release of their very own fantasy motion picture »Imaginaerum by Nightwish«, the band is closing in its cycle of the `Imaginaerum World Tour´ with a festival triple -- Wacken Open Air being the first of those final shows. The `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2013-2013 visited in 34 countries, consisted of 104 shows with total audience attendance of over 1,5 million fans.

And what would be a better way to celebrate the grand finale as to capture the entire show at Wacken Open Air -- the world's biggest heavy metal festival -- for a live DVD/Blu-ray? The live show in the front of 85 000 screaming metalheads was directed by Ville Lipiäinen, filmed with seventeen cameras and has a total duration of 85 minutes.
Mastermind and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen states:

▶ALSO AVAILABLE:

"The time has come soon to wrap up the magical & memorable one-and-a-half year `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013! We still have three shows left, one of them being at the legendary Wacken Open Air Metal Festival on the 3rd of August. This show will be something extra special, since it will be released later this year on DVD/Blu-ray, together with a massive `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013 documentary. Our darling flying Dutchwoman, Floor Jansen, has been nothing but incredible during her time in Nightwish on this tour, so this is a perfect opportunity to immortalize the current vibe of the band on film! "

Anybody else here in 2023 still watching this video? I’ve been listening to this song on Spotify every week and watching this video AT LEAST once a month since it was posted. I am seriously so addicted to not only this song itself, but Floor’s version, specifically this performance. It’s phenomenal the way she captivates an audience of this size live and continues to captivate an audience of hundreds of thousands through a recording! Ugh! I can’t get enough.

[lukeneely]

My 3 kids all under 10 have now discovered Nightwish. My job as a parent is now complete.🤘

[CowtownJohn]

When Floor reaches “My fall…” it’s like flying. I can’t explain it any other way.

And boy, I miss Jukka. I swear, the goosebumps won’t stop.

[AloneintheLight]

Can never get tired of listening to this performance, it's out of the world

[xMartexX]

Floors vocals made history that night 🤩 Her voice is out of this world ❤️

[schneevongestern]

This entire Wacken 2013 performance shows Floor in absolute and full vocal glory.
She always was and still is supremely good.
But that night she surpassed herself.
This is, hands down, one of the best vocal performances I have ever heard.
I believe she is in her later vocal prime currently, her absolute peak being roughly 2010-2013, and now still being VERY far away from vocal decline.
Imagine being in your later vocal prime and still being better than 99, 9% of singers will ever be on their best day.
Also, her vocal prime is pretty prolonged compared to most other singers.
She is also so consistent in her singing.
When this show took place, she already was a performing singer for over 15 years.
Now this show is almost a decade old. And she still is amazing.
That is very impressive. She kept getting better consistently for a long time,
she prolongs her vocal prime to well over a decade, more like 15 years, and her vocal decline (which will happen. it happens to every single singer eventually. It is natural and inevitable.)
will presumably happen firstly: very late and secondly: very slowly.
I never was so impressed and in awe by any other contemporary singer.
Her range, breath support, breath control, coordination, intonation, projection, versatility, expression, diction, longevity, efficiency, consistency, vocal control, stage presence, charisma, authenticity, crowd interaction, every aspect you could think of, she does it perfectly. Just admirable.
Tuomas as a composer and Floor as a singer are a match made in heaven. Also the fact that Floor gathered skill and experience for 15 years before she joined Nightwish was very important for this combination to become this amazing.
And even though Nightwish with Floor as a singer gave countless brilliant performances and even though this entire Wacken 2013 show was as good as live music can possibly get,
this particular song, Ghost Love Score at Wacken 2013, is probably the most glorious and elevating and overwhelming moment she as a singer and this entire band will ever have given to the world. I will never get tired of listening to this. Never. I vividly remember how I saw this video for the first time. And how overwhelmed and captivated I was.
Forever grateful for being able to listen to such music.

Nightwish isn't just a band. Nightwish is a spiritual journey.

[cristianmanya]

Tuomas: "Hey Floor, how high is your vocal range?"

Floor: "Yes."

[neurochaotic]

Floor casually forgetting she’s human and going into full goddess mode at the end 🖤🤘

[nicolassemaan]

I LOVE this drumer. This ending is SO PERFECT.

[kreso]

I am 60. Few weeks ago I did not even know that group named Nighwish even exist. Now I am fan for this group forever. I bump it on Youtube on them via Natalia Tsarikova. Then I listen (and watch too) allmost all songs. This one is best made and performed. This song is made for history and eternity. Ghost love score is same rank as Bohemian Rapsody on Wembley. Maybe even better. To describe voice and performing of Floor is impossible. Until now it does not exist words to do it. All team was perfect on Wacken. All songs are performed extraordinary. I hope once I will go on their concert to feel that energy. Now I listen them every day. EVERY DAY.

[anne-marieturner]

Seriously!!! How come i can watch this over and over amd yet im still getting chills!!!

[EvilPikachu]

Showed this to my girlfriend thinking she'd love it. Only to find out she's IN THAT CROWD. She was there for real, long before we met. And a little part of me is so jealous I kinda hate her for it a tiny bit. She told me the story of seeing this live and how it legit brought her to tears. I want to watch to see if I can spot her somewhere but it's impossible to focus on the visuals when my brain can barely process this god tier audio.

[koerel]

This concert and this song in particular has to be one of the best live performances of all time! I have watched this countless times over the years and every now and again when I'm in the mood for some Nightwish I find myself back at this clip, and even though I'm a grown ass man I'm still usually in tears at the end. Not because I'm sad but just because I can't handle how crazy powerful this performance is!

[Lousifer]

2024 I'm still here!!!! What a masterpiece!

[AlexPlaysGaming]

I have never gotten emotional while watching a live performance, until this woman opened her mouth. This was the most beautiful performance I have ever seen. Much like the audience, I was instantly drawn to her. Much like she commanded the 82, 000+ people there, I too fell in line. You don't see very many moments like this, so this is something that will always remain legendary

[MichaelB]

I'm a noob to Nightwish in 2024, and, in particular, floor. Holy shyte this is one of the most powerful tunes in a long time. So glad I found this

[michalm]

The part starting at 8:30 is an absolute masterpiece. The best live performance in the history of live preformances, maybe ever. It's even better than the studio version.

[quotesforlife]

She is too The band is
Everytime i heard that note and the guitar progressions, drums everything even the crowd Tears come to my eyes Everytime 😥

[maximiliandort]

I sincerely belive that this is one of, if not the single greatest live performance of a song ever.
