Hello Jordan & Amanda [ Jordan & Amanda React ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.

About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.

Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):

" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "

🤘

[Thundermuscle]

theye been around since 1995. Amy Lee as good as she is is nowhere near the level Floor Jansens at. Prepare for the Nightwish army.

[JAYWALKER]

The entire concert is magical. I believe this is song 12 of 15 - they never stop, they just keep going. The Valkyrie Goddess (Floor Jansen) can sing anything (operatic highs to death growls, Phantom of the Opera to Shallow). Theres is an energy feedback loop from the crowd of 85, 000 to the band - live they sound just as good (if not better) than the studio recordings. This song is the gateway drug to Nightwish addiction and it's only the tip of the iceberg.
The pipes are an elaborate keyboard stand.

[jasonmarshall]

So great seeing you both. Welcome friends. Floor was in the band After forever singing at age 16. Then Revamp, Northward and Nightwish. Floor is trained in Classical music and theatre and at a school of Rock. Floor can play some other instruments like keyboard and guitar and can sing in many languages. Floor is 6.1 feet tall add 3 inches with heals. Loves horses and her other pets on her we farm and grows her own vege's. Floor is married to Hannes the drummer from Sabaton another great band which sings about war history. They have two children. Floor's a workaholic and is an empath. Thank you for your time.

[WNYretiree]

Ohhhh, you have just barely dipped your toes into the depth and talent that Nightwish represents. There isn't a bad song in the bunch and every song is different. This is a group of extremely talented musicians who all play for the song. That equals a band that is greater than the sum of its parts. I hope that you continue your Nightwish journey and I have subscribed in the hopes that I will be able to follow as you discover just how much this band can do.

[alleninfinity]

Nightwish, every song is a different story. Floor the Valkyrie Goddess, and Metal Queen, knows no equal vocally. The things she can do with her voice continues to amaze me. She can growl, sing opera, sing rock, sing metal, sing anything she wants, perfectly! Nightwish has been around since 1996, and still kicking ass and headlining all over the world.

Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty! Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish! The band is from Finland. Floor, the third and current lead singer is Dutch. Symphonic metal at its best! There is much to discover with this amazing band, and the army is here to help you along the way! They have a variety of sound and will surprise you at times. Read up what General Gabriel has to send. Wacken (VAH-ken) open air is a hard rock/metal festival in northern Germany. Hope to see more on the channel. Storytime next? Enjoy the journey! Its one worth taking, believe me.

[ToddPro]

Love Nightwish too late, but happy I found them years back, lucky enough to have seen them live in Minneapolis last year, Amazing! (Intimate venue, I was 10ft from Floor 😍 & the guys! 🤘

[rolandconnor]

Congratulations, you have just witnessed perhaps the greatest live performance ever. Any song from this Wacken 2013 concert is now the platinum standard... but there is much more. Gabriel will give you suggestions and guidance for your journey. Floor is not of this world as you will soon realize. Welcome. Nightwish Army Vancouver, British Columbia Canadian Division reporting

[Rlyc]

Nightwish - one of the biggest and best bands in the world for the last 20+ years that no one in N/A has ever heard of. It’s always good to see people in broadening their horizons.

[Hegoat]

I suggest you try "storytime", "romanticide", "ever dream", "wish i had an angel", "ghost river", "amaranth", " son of myself", "dark chest of wonders" live from wacken 13 too
And also "want my tears back" and "dead boys poem" live from buenos aires
"The poet and the pendulum" and "your is an empty hope" live from wembley
"The greatest show on earth" live from tampere

You both just begin in this nightwish journey
Thanks for the reaction, it was so fking cool 🤙

[rickphil]

Hello Jordan & Amanda. Huge Nightwish fan from Phoenix here for you. Great reaction to our beloved Nightwish performing live. Nightwish is the rare band whose live performances are even better than their studio productions. I highly recommend that you read all of Gabriel Bardac's comment and follow the link he provides at the end. That will take you to his community page where he provides many links to other amazing Nightwish live performances. They still kick ass to this very day with their 3rd and current female lead vocalist... our 6'1" (barefoot) Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen). At this Wacken concert, she was not yet an "official" member of Nightwish, although they remedied that immediately after this show. Hope to see you again soon with more Nightwish live reactions. New subscriber here for that.

Nightwish Army Pennsylvania Division Reporting for duty! Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish and symphonic metal! You have a lot of great music ahead! BTW, nice Laney Jordan.

[lieven]

Welcome to an extraordinary band... I truly envy your journey into their very diverse repertoire, should you choose to embark (you really should!😊). If you do, please try to stay with live performances, for that is where they truly shine. Thank you so much for an awesome reaction! Liked, subscribed, and rang your bell...😊

[robertbales]

Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. The Nightwish army will be arriving shortly.

[LonOfKings]

Nightwish are incredibly fantastic, they are the best musical discovery of my life-time.

If you continue with Nightwish at Wacken in the future, I suggest to use 'Nightwish correct speed with lyrics' with your Youtube search, they would be the best quality versions available and also shouldn't have any advertisements in the middle of them (as this one did) and they have lyrics if you switch on CC - subtitles! Their lyrics are often poetic and beautiful.
They are all wonderful people. Enjoy!

[northof]

This was from possibly one of the greatest live concerts ever.

[SatuMSJaaskelainen-lesc]

Finland reportin for a duty of a Nightwish army 🇫🇮👍❤. Peace and love ❤️.

[kimfabritiusdetengnagel]

A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰
And yep - you are from The US, therefore Amy Lee - and totally ok. This kind of metal is known as Symphonic Metal, the merge of symphony and metal music - and only the absolute top musicians and composers are able to create this music - often composed in chapters, with deep poetic lyrics. In this case it's Tuomas - known as 'the metal Mozart'
And the woman in front - Floor Jansen - she is by far the greatest storyteller ever. No one comes even close in range, versatility and power - no one. In this song you experienced not even 10% of her capabilities (not kidding!)
And Amy are great - but Floor is on a whole other level - you ain't seen or experienced nothing yet 😉.
And by now, you have met a few of the Nightwish Army - a few hundred thousands of very keen fans, very eager to help and guide you into this incredible Universe. We promise you that you will never regret - while you have never experienced anything like this before!!
Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰

[Thorgrim]

Welcome to the world of Nightwish and symphonic metal. Hope to see you both again very soon for more epic reactions to the amazing band and Floor Jansen, the Dutch queen of symphonic metal. Gabriel will guide you on your journey if you decide to continue.
