Hello Seth [ Reactions That Rock ] ! 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 Helsinki in 2005, then together with Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tar-rya], the 1st female singer of the band. 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) - you just heard her. 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, soprano.....most versatile). 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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘

Thank you! Wishmaster is a legendary song from Nightwish. I am really glad you watched this. I hope you continue discovering their music. For the future, Nightwish has had many line up changes. For example there have been 3 different lead singers and 3 different basists. Here the lead singer was their first one, Tarja Turunen. Then after her came Anette Olzon and now the lead singer is Floor Jansen. You also saw and heard Marko Hietala as a basist here. The keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen is the one behind all the music. After Tarja's time in Nightwish she started her own solo career. Tarja is still today releasing music and touring the world. And she is actually celebrating her birthday today.

It was nice and fun to meet the legendary band NightWish's songs. I got to know NightWish's songs through Pitta's cover songs. Pitta is the personal stage name of Kang Hyung-ho, a member of the crossover group Forestella. He is a man, but he sang WishMaster and Phantom of the Opera by himself. He is a really great singer. I hope to meet him again next time.🙏🏻♥️

Hello Seth and welcome to Nightwish. Gabriel Bardac already gave you a lot of info about the band with all the right links. It is fun to see a young band with their first leadsinger Tarja. Although she has a lovely and warm voice I must be honest and say that I like their 3rd and current singer Floor Jansen a lot more. She is able to really tell the story with her voice. In most cases people recommend "Ghost Love Score" (THE song with the most views on YT, 34 mln) as to draw a lot of attention, our NW Army is HUGE, but I think for you that "Song of Myself" from the Wacken (Vah-ken, Germany) 2013 concert is a good song to continue your journey! And NW is best at live performances!! I wish you a lot of fun discovering this unique and phenomenal band! Have a nice weekend and greetings from The Netherlands!

Yo mil veces preferiré a la cofundadora de la banda Tarja Turunen como vocalista principal solo ella me transporta a la historia nórdica de Finlandia de donde es originalmente la banda 😏

Hey there. Not the typical start for someone dipping their toe in the Deep, Deep Nightwish waters. However it's a great song, with a great singer. I started my Nightwish Journey with the Wacken 2013 concert, but you know what... It's great to see someone go more from the beginning. It might be really nice to react to a few more of the original singer (Tarja), and I can see people are already giving good suggestions, and then you can go from there into their more recent catalog. Just an idea. Kind Regards from the UK.

I like being atypical! Honestly, this was the song recommended to me by a viewer and I went right in with no homework and no clue what I would find. 🤷♂️ Definitely making a list here so I can check out more tunes!!!

End of an Era is great concert. I still like more From Wishes to Eternity (been in both) More a less because the atmosphere was incredible and band was young with full of joy and talent. But anyway you can find the master piece of heavy (Master Passion Greed), commercial main stream song with the most heated singer (I don't know why) Bye Bye Beautiful etc. I just recommended to start Oceanborn.

All band members you've seen here were from Finland. This was back in 2005 and the singer's last show (her not knowing it at this point!). Since 2013 they have a dutch singer (Floor) and a british multi-instrumentalist (Troy). In between they had another singer (Annette). The only ones who did not change throughout the years is the keyboarder and composer (Tuomas) and the guitarist (Emppu). There is a lot of different stuff to discover - it's a deeeep rabbit hole. 🙂 In which direction would you like to go? They do have recent stuff, but I think that's not what you should do next.
