    I am a long life Pink Floyd fan, 67 y old Dutch bloke, and have seen them several times. Nightwish belongs to my favorite bands since some 4 years after witnessing one of Floor's first solo shows.
    This is the ultimate tribute from an exceptional band to an exceptional band!

    Well, Emppu might look and act like a little funny midget, but actually he is a black belt judoka and one of the most intelligent guitar players out there. 🎸😅

      ….and he is one of the most sympathetic members of the band. The way hè does his rounds checking on them all during life performances. I also noticed this at Floor’s return after her breast cancer diagnosis. He has a lot of empathy for others.

    This is one of my favorite Nightwish songs because it gives every single member of the band a chance to shine. Naturally, in most songs, the focal point is the lead singer. And, when you have had the fantastic leads that Nightwish has had, sometimes the other member of the band aren't noticed as much. The guys were fantastic in this one. Tuomas on keys, holding the entire song together, the fantastic drumwork by Jukka. Add to that the absolutely marvelous work that Emppu did in guitar and crown it all with Marko really getting a chance to show off what he can do. That man can get more emotion into one note than most singers can in an entire song. They really are, each and every one of them, extraordinary.

    After this grand tribute to Pink Floyd, respond as well to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s gothic rock anthem, The Phantom Of The Opera
    from this same 2005 Nightwish "End Of An Era" consert. It is said, that this duet version with the original singer Tarja and Marco, Andrew Lloyd Webber prefers to any other of the hundreds that have been made since his original creation.
    The way Tarja Turunen reaches a series of very high notes, is sensational.
    Marco Hietala as ‘The Phantom’ absolutely nails the part. Together they are without doubt the most dynamic pairing in these roles ever.

  • @VK.Vertol

    Emppu is known that he plays for the song, not for himself to be more visible. He always plays what the song needs to be perfect. Emppu is a real professional with a great sense for the accuracy and precision in his playing. That's why you can't see him overplay...

    Marko was an established frontman/vocalist of his own bamd Tarot already for ~15 years before joining NW. But he didn't have that many leading parts during his time in the band, but as we know the vocal parts he had, he smashed. And he's a decent enough bassist ( and guitarist) 😉

    End of an Era was the 21st of Oct, 2005 in Hartwall Arena ,Helsinki. Last show on the 'Once" album tour, and last Nightwish concert with original lead singer Tarja Turunen, she was offstage for a wardrobe change during this song (#8 of 18). Tarja was fired after the concert.
    Rumor has it David Gilmour has seen this, and loved it. Marko is awesome, and yes he is a lead singer. He sang lead in his first band Tarot, formed with his brother at age 16. Very tastful and awesome tribute to Gilmour's guitar work by Emppu.
    I believe it's a Warwick Infinity.

    This a masterful tribute! Love your reactions, and journey! I too am an old school Metalhead, and did get stuck in time with my 70’s and 80’s metal bands following the journeys they took. But thanks to CZcams, for opening my eyes to other bands, Nightwish are pigeonholed as Symphonic Metal, but they can thrash, speed, even introduce Death Metal elements, they can pretty much play any genre of Metal and Rock. I must admit I heard them with the original singer back in the 90’s, and they 13:16 weren’t my taste then. But once I seen the live performance at Wacken, I was instantly hooked, they are all fantastic muso’s, and Floor’s vocals and her versatility blew me away. Must be 10 years since I seen and heard that Wacken performance, and the songs are just timeless.

    Great reaction, thank you very much. Yes, all members of the band are outstanding artists who just play for the song instead of showing off - no egos on stage. And Floor seemed to like it to give Marco the lead from time to time and herself sing the backvocals (The Islander, While your lips are still red). After hearing this tribute and looking at his great singing parts for example in "Ghost River" I really can understand why. He is such a great singer and her "older brother" - watch this: czcams.com/video/ut6ufu2CPNg/video.html. The end is so moving and you can see here how much they like each other. I also recommend "River of time" (czcams.com/video/bieFc3WhBKw/video.html) and "Age of Shadows" (czcams.com/video/DGv1RwhpvZY/video.html) from Ayreon - here you can hear Marco sing together with Hansi Kürsch (from Blind Guardian) and in the second song also with Floor.

Don't forget - most of these songs have been written for Anett Olzen. She was good, but not even close to Tarja or Floor 😂. But NOW you really should dive into the 2nd unbelievable Symphonic Metal Band > EPICA 😂. Start with "Code of Live" AFAS live. Will blow your mind completly. AND you need to dive deeper into J-Metal. TRUST ME. You did BM (loce them) - you need LOVEBITES "Holy War" live Tokyo 2020 & BAND MAID "Hate" live. Your life will never be the same. BIG promise 😂
