NIGHTWISH, THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD. PERIOD.

@timhutchinson8485 2 жыл бұрын

Floor makes a lot of dramatic entrances to the stage, but I think Dark Chest of Wonders '13 is one of my favorites, where Marco and Empuu cross paths at the center of the stage, and Floor walks out perfectly between them.

There is only one bad thing about that Dark Chest of Wonders video: the applause is cut off! :D But for good reason too, because right after this, without any warning, the band plays I Wish I Had an Angel, which just makes together one unbelievable power combo! The song Sahara has a special place in my heart: for some reason it tends to pop up in my head when I ride my bike for hours on long roads. I guess it correctly captures a vibe of caravans traveling through the deserts of Middle East. The rhythm almost symbolizes steps, slow progression towards the destination.

Dark Chest of Wonders is really the perfect show opener and really a lovely cup of condensed Nightwish nectar 😍 (there are a few other songs I feel the same about, like Pan and Shudder Before The Beautiful) Dark Passion Play-album has many overlooked gems like Sahara, there isn't much live material from that album out there, which is a shame. For example For The Heart I once Had is one of Anettes best studio work, in my humble opinion. Thanks again! ☺️

Super reaction! In Sahara there is a wonderful little bass riff (about 6 seconds) that Marko adds at around 17:22 in this video. I picked up on it the first time I heard this song and started listing for something similar in other songs, but have not heard anything like it. It blew me away, and became my favorite part of this performance; even though all the band members did a superb job.

Nice song combo. What a kick-butt way to start a concert. My appreciation for Marko's singing just took a jump at the last note... his head voice is such a great compliment to anything that Floor sings. (AND, btw, his bass playing goes from that mega-thunk in the plodding-portion, to a jazzy, almost fretless sound later in one of the mellower bits.... not bad, for a metalhead!!) It'd be fun to find out what mega-pedal Troy was using. (or maybe it was something like a Kemper floor-model?) eBows can be a blast to play, especially with an intelligent pitch shifter, as a method for creating pads from a guitar neck. I hope you and Teresa are doing well.

Love both of those songs. By all means, over-analyze whatever you like. I don't live in Finland (wish I did) so I couldn't see any of NW concerts during this year. Damn you, Covid. So when I'm not listening to my favourite bands by myself or with my friends, I watch them also on YT by some of the YT reactors. A kind of shared experience, like being at the concert with other fans. Tuomas loves his Metallica, it was one of the first metal bands he listened to and Sahara riffs do sound a bit like something from their discography. That and the Led Zeppelinesque strings. All that wrapped in a nice Finnish symphonic metal with a blue-and-white bow on top. By the way, I have accidentally left automatic subtitles on while watching your video and Emppu's name is captioned as "emperor"... hmm, interesting. All power to the EV1, Emppoi! Do you listen to Children of Bodom, by chance?
