Breaking Bad was my favourite series, then Nightwish Wednesday arrived.

Gratest show on earth DO Tampere for the special effects they are very special/Cool you will miss them if you do the Wembly Version. that show does not have thies very special special effects.

So I was saving this comment for sometime now. The reaction thing on youtube it´s a ongoing thing nowadays specially with some metal bands. There are a lot of youtubers like you that react to this kind of content, being myself a metalhead and knowing most of these bands, this is really enjoyable. However, most people are or "normal people" or vocal coaches, which is interesting to some degree but your reactions are unique man, that´s why I love your videos. Being myself a musician I´ve always loved the production side of things, stage props, pyro, GEAR, festival facts and info, etc, etc. I have learned a lot from your videos and please keep up with your content is one of a kind on youtube, it´s super entertaining, and focuses on info that other youtubers don´t really touch on and at the end of the day those things really matter in the atmosphere of a live performance. #Roadieskeeptheshowgoing

I got to work today, and thought "Oh, it's Nightwish Wednesday!"

I´m gonna stress everything others recommended regarding The Greatest Show on Earth: 1) Do the Tampere version. This is a must. 2) Chose the longer one with the end credits (it is the final song of the DVD and the concert) and watch to the very end. My personal advices: 3) Chose the version with lyrics - you may check them out before reaction, but it´s still very handy to have them there. 4) Have a time of your life. :) You can experience it only once. Me and my colleagues in theater, we played the whole album Endless Forms Most Beautiful for the first time on our big sound system, and this final song in particular is something I remember to this very day - even though we did not have it with video. I´m looking forward to next Wednesday. :)

Normally Wacken 2013, Wembley, Tampere or Buenos Aires get recommended because they have the best audio and video quality.

Still consider While Your Lips are Still Red. It's different and worth a listen. Floor isn't the lead vocalist. Marko is and it's a ballad. The live version is best because Floor and Troy are included in the support unlike the studio version.

The chemistry between these band mates is clear. They're having fun and like each other.

So, just a kind reminder: Watch The Greatest Show On Earth to the very last second. Otherwise a bunch of angry fans goes riot. Unfortunately, if I recall it correctly, there are some videos of it which cut the final part off.

I love how in Nightwish concerts the crowd behind the front row wants to start moshpit but gets interrupted by the melodies and Floor.

I've listened to the other versions countless times so this was very refreshing to hear and watch a different performance!🤘😁

I saw them 5 times, and one of them was at a festival in 2016. They weren't headliners, Iron Maiden was the next after them. Nightwish had an insane amount of production, but sadly they couldn't use any pyro, because a big thunderstorm happened at the start of their show. It was of course still amazing, Steve Harris from Iron Maiden liked it too, I saw him watching Nightwish's performance from the side of the stage.

Re: Your remark on Marko not playing both necks of his double-neck in a single song -- He does. In this song. The acoustic part in the middle, sandwiched by bass playing on each side.

"Give me EV-1 or give me death" 😂😂😂😂

Can't wait for Greatest Show. The Tampere concert will blow your pyro tech brain XD

Make sure you use the Tampere version next week (you reallly want that version believe me!!!!!!) and it is also nice if you make sure you watch the complete video

My gawd!!! I didn’t listen to NW for the last couple days and hearing this now reminds me yet again why they are the best damn band in the world.

Just wanted to say that Nightwish performances are all so great, there really is no such thing as a wrong video. Personally this reaction was friggin awesome to me, and I loved it!! I am glad you did this one, because I've never seen anything from this show, and I loved it! Right on!

Someone get him a neck brace, he's gonna need it after all the head banging on this one!!

Imo, that's one of their most underrated songs and may be my favorite from the EFMB album (apart from Elan and the Greatest Show, although that last one is a beast of its own and shouldnt be compared to "regular songs").

Nice version for variety... But really missing the drum solo in the intro... Can't wait to see Tank reacting...

I think that was a good choice to use this performance. I missed it completely. So thanks a lot, now I have to go and look for more songs from that festival. Stay safe Dirk PS looking forward to next week.

Beautiful theatrics from Floor. Such a natural performer of lyrics abs feel. This is one of my favourite Floor vocal tracks as she mixes it up a little. Great track!

This is definitely one of my favorite songs from Nightwish. What is missing from this video compared to the Tampere video (in addition to Kai's drum solo) is that Marko has not been highlighted very much in the video and his guitar part in particular is not visible at all! By the way, I just read Marko's interview today (in Finnish). Here are a few excerpts from it: "Hietala has hardly been able to perform like other musicians this year and Nightwish, for example, has postponed its tour to next year. Hietala has already managed to stop stressing things out. - It was a bit stressful at first, when I didn't really know when and what would happen. Eventually, as the pandemic dragged on, the attitude has changed to look at when something can be done about it, Hietala says and continues: - We were left with an almost finished production untested and we should have started the tour in the spring from China. As you might guess, you really couldn’t go there. I still have time to do my own solo gigs at the beginning of the year, but since then we have been on hold. Hietala says that he has personally managed financially, but for example, the work of Nightwish's tour staff has been frozen when the gigs were canceled and no other artists can perform. The staff did make an album called Crewish to make their own versions of Nightwish’s well-known songs. The proceeds from the album will help staff who are currently unemployed - I have to say, that record is damn hard! I listened to it several times and always grin on my face, Hietala says. Nightwish doesn’t know yet if it will do streaming gigs. According to Hietala, the band's ambition is at such a high level that production would require a huge amount of everything: that stage production ... "We've talked about it, but at least we don't know yet if we'll do it or not."

One thing I noticed was that a lady in the audience that appeared on camera for a second at this concert also is filmed in the Wacken 2013 audience for a couple of seconds so kinda fun to see her at two different nightwish concerts three years apart.

Just so you know.. This year Swedish television only aired this song with Nightwish, and one song with Rammstein and Volbeat I think..

Another awesome Nightwish Wednesday. Great to see a different show featured too. Can’t wait for GSOE next week, it should be epic! Tank you NEED to do the Tampere show for that one, preferably a lyric video, but watch it until the VERY end to get the full effect. Looking so forward to it... Thank you for all your hard work!

Floor is so beautiful in every live-show what I`ve watched, but in this one she looks super STRONG, so beautiful, I love this!

Beyond excited to see your reaction and breakdown of TGSOE!! I think you can give insight that we haven’t heard before.

A hard, heavy NW song, and the headbanging just crowns this performance.

Big Stage setup - Well, Nightwish never do anything "Low Key" as far as I know. I think it's great fun to snoop around and find different versions of NW songs, that's when you find things like Rock In Rio gig and the one at the Download Festival in the UK. One of my latest find is NW live in 2004 where Marko is introducing his personal Shrink to the crowd, Mister Finlandia, and everyone in the band has a short "conversation" with him. Elderberry juice in the bottle I think, if you say anything else your PG Rating will go up to an "R". I'm actually a bit surprised by how much pyro's they had, given that fireworks basicly are forbidden in Sweden. Maybe stage pyro's isn't included in that restriction. I bet there is lots of people telling you to do this or that version of TGSOE, so why shouldn't I chip in too? I say Tampere is the one you should look at. While other versions (Wembley?) have a guest appearance at the very end that is quite noteworthy, we (speaking to other viewers now) - We should keep in mind that Tank is all about the stage setup, screens, pyro's, lights and all other forms of visuals, and since Tampere is an outdoor Arena the visuals are on a scale that simply isn't possible at an indoor Arena. So, my recommendation is Choose the Tampete version, it's the best one for things that you look for. You can have a look at Wembley later. Cheers / B. (And sorry for this lengthy comment).

Great Reaction, Tank!!!! Absolutely loved reading the Live Chat, too. Can't wait for next week!!!

Marko’s part is THE BEST! Gets me so hype every damn time, let’s gooooo! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Having watched the popular versions of this song I have to say this was epic in both production, sound & lighting. The pyro was just crazy. Nightwish don't perform songs they do masterpieces and this is no diffrerent. Just simply fantastic.

My take on this concert is that I don't know who was in charge of the camerawork, but they seemed oblivious to the fact that there was more to this than just Floor. They seemed to neglect Marco's parts FULLY, and barely showed Troy's and Marco's instrumentals! This is on me but I don't believe that I'm wrong here. This is a TEAM effort and even though Floor is the Valkyrie, there were and always will be the entirety of Nightwish. Again, I don't believe I'm wrong here. If you think that I am then I can accept that. Bottom line.....far too much focus on one than the all.

Great reaction Tank ! Thanks for checking that live version, i had never seen it and it's always cool to discover new versions, and pay attention to the small differences in the way they play and sing !

Yeay!! Nightwish Wednesday..... My favorite day of the week. :-) Btw...this festival was AWESOME! I am so HAPPY that you choose this version, which is my FAVORITE! (Eventho Kai's intro at the Tampere festival was "TIGHT") Thank you once again Mr Tank! I cannot wait until next wednesday....he,he.... HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Thanks man, my favorite song just before the big one. Big thumbs up for finding a more rare version for this one.

Thank You!!!!!! I've seen the other versions a million times so this is a welcome change. This is one of my top 3 and I think this version maybe my favorite as far as the videos go!!!

Glad you decided to see this performance. I think it's severely underrated. Interesting to watch you as always. Keep rocking..

I still can't understand how Floor can do the heavy headbanging and then singing with perfect pitch and breath control half a second after... She's a goddess for real

Marco plays both on several song. Dead Boys Poem, Weak Fantasy, My Walden, & Elvanjig. "Kiss the Ring" good one, but she was referring to the Pope. You really know your special effects my friend. You are really giving Floor a run for her money with your windmilling and headbanging! This is a good one, but it does not show Marco playing his doubleneck guitar or the lyrics on screen. Loved it again Tank. Great job as always. Peace.

The most educational music reactor in the business! With one hell of a windmill game!

Thanks for reacting to this version, Tank! I like it a lot and for me it's way more intense than at Tampere or Wembley and I also think to see some emotion with Floor when she sings "Mother's milk laced with poison for this newborn" at 9.14. She was pregnant for a couple weeks and she knew it. She also mentions her pregnancy in the Nightwish We were here - book (2018) and I'm sure the hormones were kicking in.

Thanks, Tank! I'm glad you showed this recording ... because this is a pearl among the other videos.

Kai is a Beast on drums. He always sounds massive. Thanks for yet another great video Tank :-)

Btw, in an interview, Steve Harris said several years ago (even before Floor I think) that Nightwish is one of the bands that he thinks will become huge in the new era. And, prophecy fulfilled.

Always love watching your videos on Nightwish Tank, and seeing your reactions whenever they do something else that you did not expect in the songs. Awesome choices for the opening and closing songs on this video too! Can't wait for The Greatest Show on Earth (you just have to do the Tampere version) next week. Keep it metal!

I love how I can tell which song is playing at the start in the background. Love a bit of Amorphis :D

Bråvalla 2016 had Six stages Healiners Rammstein, Mumford&Sons, Volbeat. Other acts were Tenacious D, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Hardwell, Veronica Maggio, Nightwish, Biffy Clyro, Bring Me The Horizon, Wiz Khalifa, Bullet For My Valentine, Afrojack, Lukas Graham, Editors, Five Finger Death Punch, The 1975, At The Drive-In, Bastille, August Burns Red.

this is another good pick for showcasing the power and versatility of this symphonic metal and what this band with this spectacular singer can do with that voice of hers holy fire lord

excellent choice, my man. this is one of their best -in my opinion, ya?- to lead up to next week. this has just about everything you want in a NW song. am excited! :D

Brings back memories, this was the first and so far the only nightwish show i've been to, amazing to see that you picked this version 🤘 And if i remember correctly they played from 11 PM to 12:30 AM

Awesome timing man. I had this song stuck in my head on a 12 hour shift all night last night. I wake up to see your reaction to it! Great reaction as always and amazing song!

Thank you for reacting to this version. I was there! They're amazing live, so happy I had the chance to see them. I went just for them (and Rammstein hehe).

Love the reaction, your focus on gear always brings a whole different perspective! Good stuff!

Sahara is my favorite Nighwish song. The Annette version and the Floor version are both EPIC.

Thank you for introducing me to this dope af version Tank, I can't believe I haven't seen it before!

My favorite Nightwish song. Also never saw this version. Thanks for doing that one!

Thanks Tank, great to get a different festival, hadn't seen this one but it still rocked hard, love Floors facials when she sings this song and the mocking nature of it.

Thanks for reacting to this concert vid, Tank! I haven't seen this one before.

The secrets of the universe unfold; The Dutch windmill is the skill of authentic Nightwish fans to travel in time and place. Tank, You Were There, 11:58 😳

Perfect song to charge up your batteries for next weeks GSOE! One of my absolute favourite NW songs.

More then 10.000views in a few hours. This really the Nightwish Army at full strength!

Nice one Tank, one of my favourite Nightwish songs 🤘🤘

when you talk about the risers and the haze units with fans, makes me think of the moments during the Vehicle of Spirit tour. When they played "Nemo", at the end, Floor would walk up onto Troy's riser. during the Tampere show, when Floor wore her blue dress and cape, i am guessing she meant to stand just ahead of the fan so it would blow her cape up. Unfortunately, she stood right over it, and it was blowing her dress up. felt bad for her, as she was trying to do the ending, while at the same time, fighting with her dress to avoid a Marilyn Monroe moment.

Great reaction as always Tank! Cannot wait for next week, you are in for a treat!! As people have no doubt said, make sure its the full version with the talking after the song finishes as there are versions which miss it off!!

The reason we keep recommending Wacken, Wembley & Buenos Aires, is that the audio mix is top notch, Wacken is one of the best live audio mix I have ever heard. For example I have watched their show for Rock in Rio and Wacken 2018, but unfortunately the audio is terrible.

Dang, yesterday would have been Nightwish in Afas in Amsterdam. And we have tickets! It is rescheduled to may next year, but we really were exited to go. Thanks to youtube and these videos we can enjoy the live performances that alway are that extra dimension to an album. Keep it up Tank!

I really like your style of doing things different from the others!!! I have a damn blast every time I am seeing your reactions and I am always wating to be surprised (ongoing positively) to which track you listen next!!

HELL YEAH!!! Thanks again Tank and I can’t wait for next Wednesday 😁 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Stay safe and warm and keep on rocking like you do 🤘😎🎸

Tank, thank you for this one! I have never seen this one from Nightwish, and I live in Sweden. Bråvalla was a no go for me do to the most popmusic thing. I noticed that one of the front persons in the fan crowd a woman is in front of at least three live videos from Wacken, Wembley and Tampere. She is a true fan!!! Damn... I need to know her and get all the shows! All respect to her! So, my dear Tank! You must come over and live the Sweden Rock Festival! The best thing would be if i could get you and Chase over here to Sweden Rock Festival 2021... lets hope the c-shit are gone by that time and I could get this to a reality! Let´s make contact!

NW Wednesday is the 💣❣ Great reaction Tank, YOU ROCK!!! 🎧🎼📣 Love the Emppu "Give me EV1 or give me death" meme... I hope he gets to see that one!!! NW Army Namibia checking in! 🌃⚔🇳🇦🤘🏻

Wow man that version rocked! Gotta check out that festival now. Thanks for the reaction!

This is one of my absolute favourite NW songs. Great stuff as always Tank!

Your reaction has just arrived in Portugal. Great great Job!

This was the song that made me fall in love with the album. I like Tuomas when he's not being subtle.

I never seen this version before. I think it’s awesome. Thanks 🤟🏻

nightwish delivers and delivers ... thanks tank for sharing our love to this special band. stay warm.

As mentioned below, the Tampere version is best. There is a recent cut of it that blows the others away - the low-quality full-length, the 4K chopped-off. This one is 4K, does not chop off the end, AND has the lyric subtitles added! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNJmn7iXrrPPd4E.html

I haven't seen this video before. It was very good. The song itself is a very impressive and a little angry one. Great stuff! Tänk you Tank! ⛄

Cool version! I had not seen that performance before, but it's a good one. 👍

Great choice for this song! I feel that this is one of the best recordings of Nightwish, which aren't their official releases. Great and bold decision to react to this song \m/

so glad u did this version =) love u keep up the great journie

Next week will be epic!!! Bring it on! When my little girl who is 9 this weekend saw me watching Greatest show on tv she stopped, watched and loved it, describing Nightwish as “magical sounding” she gets it!

Hadn't seen that rendition before. Awesoem! Thanks.

Great version!! Not surprised that Floor looks really stunning in this one (she always does).

Never tired of your gear analysis bro, great reaction!!!!

Never seen this one, great choise

Bråvalla was a great choice! Loved this!

Sir....I love your reactions!!!. LOL I laugh and learn something new every...single...time!!! You kick ass, end of story.

Thank you for bringing me back to the night that reignited my love for Nightwish. Didn't hurt that the lineup also included Rammstein and Amon Amarth :)

Really liked this version. Thank you Tank👍🏻

Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem - Live In Buenos Aires 2018 - Decades Tour is a must!

I'm with you Tank, this one is up there for me too for a Nightwish song! The production was awesome too!

Glad you chose this version, all versions are a little different and all just as amazing. Floor always changes her toning/ singing tiny bits between the shows, often depending on the crowd - therefore - brilliant choise this Swedish version. A little more "calm" here and there, but that's ok - it's still early morning in Denmark 😂

Tank...Dude, you HAVE GOT TO braid your beard up like Marco's for the next Nightwish reaction. It would be EPIC! :D

I was waiting for this since the start...

They didn't show it on camera, but Marko actually plays both sides of the beast in this song. It's a peak Marko moment when he's singing lead line while at the same time dropping the guitar off his knee and going back to the bass. There's maybe one bar or less of break between the two, and he's singing through it.

Tank, great to see a version I had not seen before and a good solution to all the infighting over location. Of course now you have done the react you can happily work your way through the others which do have some different facets. The start unfortunately missed off the Richard Dawkins intro and Kai drum intro but you can pick these up in the others. Don’t forget the Vancouver version which is an extra on the vehicle of spirit bluray. No massive screens and No flames as it’s a small venue which would probably burn down but a really interesting sound mix which really brings up the drums and Marko’s bass. What it serves to emphasise is what a great song this is, even when the big hit stage toys are taken away.
