    Nightwish kicked it up from oh-so-British wistful melancholy to Scandinavian anguish, loss, and remorse. I'm a long time PF fan, but I think NW improved it. Thanks so much for doing it this way!

      Well. NW has covered the song with the available stylistic means of melodic metal, no more - no less. If you like it, you'll like it, but NW can't reach the playing class of Pink Floyd, so it would make more sense to compare live performances. But who can play guitar solos like David Gilmour? I find the NW version a little too cheesy and overdone, but so tastes are different.

    The original Pink Floyd version reminds me of my childhood in the English countryside.
    I remember the sound of church bells on a Sunday, endless summers, birds and bees.
    It's a warm fuzzy feeling and this song broke me out of a bout of depresson as an adult, the song reminded me of a childhood that I missed that was free from adult bulls*t that we have to face everyday and I realised that I could suddenly feel again for the first time in a long time and I cried for ages.
    I saw this song live when the famous Pulse tour was filmed and it's a night that will be etched in my mind forever.
    The Nightwish homage comes a very close second for me because it respects the feel of the original and adds the special 'Nightwish' sauce.

    I miss Marko on Nightwish. And Jukka also 🥁But I understand there are changes in music industry. Your reaction is beautiful. I was at their concert this year 16th June. They did not play this song but many other beautiful songs though. The final song they played was 'The Greatest Show On Earth'...and I was sold. When I drove back home about 400 kilometers I was so quiet, did not listen to anything, no radio..I was just thinking...what did I just saw and listened. Nightwish group are now doing next album, propably release 2024. I am so happy to have all of their studio albums since 1996 including the rare 1996 first collector's edition album. And sure that Wacken 2013 double DVD including the document 'Please Learn The Setlist in 48 Hours'. Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) is our modern day metal Mozart. He can do cover songs like this as it was their own, Nightwish song. This song is tribute to this Pink Floyd master piece. I tell you, if you ever have a chance seeing them live..go!

    Good idea to listen to an original first before a cover, if you aren't familiar with the song. For the Pink Floyd song, it was the last song on the Division Bell album. If you want to see PF play it live, check out their 1994 Pulse concert.
    Yes, this Nightwish performance was October 21, 2005, in Hartwall Arena, Helsinki Finland. Last concert on the tour for the Once album, and last Nightwish show for original lead singer Tarja Turunen, who was backstage changing outfits. Marko killed it, and Emppu with tasteful guitar work in a classy tribute to the original. From 2001 when Marko joined, until this concert, he would sing lead on a cover during concerts to allow Tarja time for the change. Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction is another they had done, 2004ish.
    After you finish the Wembley concert, to hear Tarja , check out The Siren or their cover of Phantom of the Opera from this same concert.

    The bell is from the title of the album. The division bell is a parliamentary device that signals time to vote, that is, a time to make a choice. Choices are the burdens that each of us must bear. The large bust of a man being carried is the bust of Syd Barrett; a burden the band has carried since Syd was let go back in 1968. The last words in the song are from one of Syd's songs.

    High Hopes is a fantastic song, my favourite Pink Floyd song, and this tribute by Nightwish was a great version of it. Good that you watched the PF version first, but check out the live version from the Pulse concert. Marko's vocals superb, and nice playing from Emppu, but amazing performance by Jukka to drum like that while he was suffering from a crippling migraine to the point the gig nearly got cancelled, watch him holding his head in agony, great effort by him.

    Pink Floyd and Nightwish are two of my all-time very few favorite bands. I love both versions. This was later Pink Floyd, after Roger Waters had left. Love Marko’s vocals on it. The guys of Nightwish are fans of Pink Floyd and covered this one as a tribute to them. It was the most frequently used song during Tarja’s wardrobe changes. This was a 2005 performance. Keep exploring Nightwish! (And Pink Floyd would be okay with me too.😄)

    Nightwish are truly remarkable, very few could improve a Pink Floyd song, but they do it either ease.

Excellent reaction as always Nikki - you should fo the entire Nightwish show from Buenos Aires 2018 and the 2022 Hellfest set, which is awesome (there's a remastered version on CZcams which would be best) and of course the end of an Era show which this performance of High Hopes comes from 🤘

    I rank Emppu's solos in this right up there with Don Felder and Joe Walsh's guitar duet in Hotel California. Emppu's tone is perfect. Listening to Floyd's version, I am always waiting for it to 'get going', so to speak, which it never does. It's much more laid back, and Gilmour's guitar is exquisite, but Nightwish just take everything up to 11. Tarja was on a costume change during this, and would have been able to hear Marko's performance. It must have been daunting, coming back on stage, following such a powerhouse performance from Marko.

    This Nightwish tribute to Pink Floyd’s masterpiece work is even more spectacular due to Jukka’s drumming. If you didn’t know, Jukka suffered terribly with migraines and insomnia, which ultimately led to him stepping down from performing with Nightwish. I’ve read, and by his demeanor in this concert, wholly believe it to be true, that he was dealing with a terrible migraine attack during this concert. He’s still involved with Nightwish, but on the business side. And yes, Marko shines so brightly here as does Emppu- among his strongest solos for sure.
    Great reaction and review!

    High Hopes is a reflection. According to the band (in several interviews after the release of the album "The Division Bells") it goes back to before they started playing and the road they took. Refrences to the final cut are made as well as to the legendary Syd (Barrett, original singer of the band, went mad, tragic story, it is what the Wall is about). The last two lines of the song are directly taken from the song "See Emily Play"

    2005, This was the concert after which, Tarja was fired. She was doing a wardrobe change during this performance. When Marko lets loose w his vocals, he's just stunning to listen to! Also, remember that all the guys on stage *knew* they'd be firing Tarja after this concert...so the entire show is intense! That may have played into their decision to include this haunting and powerful song!

    Nice, always like this version. And almost missed it.
    For all my life (67y old Dutch bloke) I am a fan of Pink Floyd and have see them several times. A song I always loved and is on my all time playlist. Nightwish did not cover this one, this is the ultimate tribute from an exceptional band to a exceptional band. Nightwish, by the way, I only started following after seeing Floor Jansen participating in Beste Zangers. Floor I've seen with one of her first solo shows, just before Covid kicked in. Nightwish and Floor now belong to my category of exceptional bands/musicians (Queen/Freddy Mercury, David Bowie, Santana, Bob Marley, Frank Zappa, U2, Cranberries, The Cure). And seen them all in my younger years, and many more. And at last, saw Nightwish last year in Amsterdam!
    And later on got to know Sabaton, Ayreon, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Kamelot, Toehider, Avantasia.
    All because of me liking Floor and Nightwish.

I had only heard the live Pulse performance which if I remember correctly is not as mellow as the music video. Pink Floyd music is always kind of trippy (went to a bunch of Pink Floyd laser light shows in high school) and personally I love how Nightwish took it from an introspective song to an aggressive anthem. When guitar snobs throw shade at Emppu I always point them to this performance. He really shines hear.

    I made my suggestion for Rocktober, the Nightwish song called 'Scaretale' featuring Anette, with the video link I posted, NOT the official version. This is because the video link I posted is a fan creation where they mixed the live show with a film that Nightwish made and it is really good

    This was performed by the band while Tarja was having a costume change!! Not many 'covers' are better than the original, and although this is more of a tribute to Pink Floyd's original, I would say that Nightwish make the song more accessible. So many of Floyd's compositions are self-indulgent, but this arrangement seems to bring the sad themes and make them more positive. The off-beat minor keys are still there, but less oppresive. Glad you enjoyed this experience Nikki, see you for thr 'Last Ride of the Day' on Wednesday...x

    One of the things that make this performance even more powerful to me is the fact that this was the last show with their original singer, Tarja. There was a lot of turmoil within the band at that time, and at the end of that show, Tarja was going to be handed her dismissal letter, a fact that was known by all members of the band but herself. Thus, this particular show has a special vibe. It could have been the final concert of Nightwish as a band, the night their High Hopes were dashed.

    The angst is palpable with the Nightwish performance,
    this is the concert where they all gave a dissmissal letter to Tarja,
    they knew what was coming, but she had no idea.

    I've had some discussions about the two different versions - is Nightwish better or Pink Floyd.
    For me, this discussion is just as superfluous as whether Floor or Tarja is better. It's all a subjective matter of taste.
    I love Pink Floyd and Nightwish as much as I love Tarja and Floor. They are all so different and yet they are all brilliant in their artistic work.

    Amazing song. it is more. rendition rather than a cover. I have read somewhere that David Gilmore gave his nod to Nightwish version. From Wikipedia: Note Also shown is an oversized bust of Syd Barrett. It would later be used in live performances during Pink Floyd's 1994 Division Bell Tour and seen on the PULSE video.

    It was Syd Barrett, Founder of Pink Floyd who succumbed to mental illness after their first album in 1966ish.

    Trivia:
    Pink Floyd toured with a circular backdrop that they projected thing on. If you watch Nightwish's video you can see a circle above the drummer. Though much smaller then the one Pink Floyd had.

    Great reaction and it was great that you could get the video through the copyright blocking. If I've understood correctly Pink Floyd is very eager to block any video with even a short fragment of their music.

    Pink Floyd split up when roger waters left. A few years later David gilmour, Richard wright and Nick mason got back together. In my mind the guy reminiscing on the car is the three members struggling with getting back together for a new album and tours. He then goes to the back of the car and releases the past (the symbol on the balloons was the original symbol for pink Floyd) opening the way for a new pink Floyd without roger.
    Perhaps nightwish was also agonising over sacking tarja.

  • @timmiyg5894
    @timmiyg5894 Před 9 měsíci

    Floyd are masters of invoking reaction. The alarms at the beginning of 'Time' is meant to slightly grate to 'wake you up'! If it was redone without this intro, the song would not convey as well the meaning of the song.

    Actually the best comparison is by comparing two live performances and not a studio recording and a live performance. Having said that I understand that this was the performance on the night that they were going to reveal to Tarja that they were parting ways (firing her). The band had to perform as if nothing was wrong but they had this sadness that they were carrying in their hearts. I hear it in this cover, in Marco’s voice and in Tuomas demeanor.

    For your "Halloween Creepy Theme", you could give Pink Floyd another chance. Here's a suggestion:
    You could try: Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited). Plus, it's a live version.
    No bell sounds, that's guaranteed, but a style of song that is closer to the "metal" genre.

    Statue their carrying simply is "nostalgic" represantation,it shows how we honored our great dead before some great great ruler or big man and thinker,nowadays we cherish nothing and forget everything in 10 seconds
    its hard to get Floyd on first watch/listen thats why their music lives on its elaborate,and genius musically
    big legged man represent like buisness people who try to step over anything to get where they want,releasing on flags means we surrended our national identities and mixed everything up,universe and creatior or creation dont matter no more,its too abstract for todays shallow people to even think about
    and then chorus at the end for me best piece of lyrics anywhere ever
    The grass was greener
    The light was brighter
    The taste was sweeter
    The nights of wonder
    With friends surrounded
    The dawn mist glowing
    The water flowing
    The endless river
    For ever and ever
    im sure a lot of people trigger childhood or teen years by listening to these lyrics,its not the times that are changing,WE ARE and nothing will match your innocence and "wonder" ever again....
    pretty sad song,but for me BEST ever,i would REALLY LIKE if you'd react to
    High Hopes live czcams.com/video/HX_du6Gcp1w/video.html
    Comfortably Numb live czcams.com/video/7kWl-ZGMwkQ/video.html

    Of course its matter of musical taste but Nightwish version really does not belong to pretty narrow category of covers that become so good that songs get a new life( aka all along the watchtower, hurt, sound of silence)

    I was going to watch this as a Pink Floyd fan until I realised you were comparing the studio version of High Hopes to the Live version from Nightwish. To really make a comparison you should have compare the Pink Floyd Pulse concert version 1994 to the live version of Nightwish. Pink Floyd is far better live.

    Always liked Nightwish. With Tarja, with Anette and now with Floor. But this cover is complete disaster. Lightyears away from the feeling and the quality of the original. But if you compare with David Gilmour you can only lose. Nightwish is not really great in doing covers. "Over the Hills" is kind of a fail too. So far from Gary Moores original.
