Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem - Live In Buenos Aires 2018 - Decades Tour - It would be like the calm before the storm...

The opening song from this concert is a banger: Nightwish - Dark Chest of Wonders (Wacken 2013)

Many fans still fondly associate Ann Waychoff the "mother of the nightwish-fans" with "Song of Myself". RIP Ann. 4 months ago and still missed.

Foolishly, I didn't think Floor could elevate Dead boy's poem, but as always, she did. Recommended.

RIP Ann. Can't hear this song any more without thinking of her.

My recommendations for next Wednesday: - Bless the Child - Sleeping Sun - Dead Boy's Poem

My recommendations for NW Wednesday would be Wish I Had An Angel or While Your Lips Are Still Red

For you, Master , passion,greed. Rarely reacted to and probably their heaviest song. Big time Marko vox

Should do Weak Fantasy live at Tampere next week, before TGSOE for sure

Nightwish seems to have the only audience in history that claps on beat. js All ❤️ from TX

My recommendations for next: first song of Wacken "Dark Chest of Wonders" and last song "Last Ride of the Day".

Before you even start I make my suggestion for the next time: Dead Boy's Poem! [Edit: Live in Buenos Aires! Thx Harold for pointing it out!] (Who would have guessed? :D) The song has an emotional Floor, a double neck playing Marko, a Troy who does Troy things and a wonderful guitar solo by Emppu. I don't know what else you need in a Nightwish song. The composition is out of this world, of course. I'm a 100% positive that this is a great reaction, because Song of Myself is a great song. Will leave my opinion later :D Edit: awesome reaction! I knew you'd love thar song! And when you started headbanging I was shouting YES!!!! :D question about Emppu's guitar(s): wasn't there one reaction that you did where he did not play his EV-1? Don't know which song it was, but I think there was one.

Greetings from Finland, especially to all those members of the Nightwish army who know why I also say R.I.P. Ann Waychoff.

Nightwish Wendesday POG ! For the story, I was at Wacken 2013 and I did crowdsurf during that song. One of the best memories of my life !

Dead Boys Poem or Alpinglow from Wembley Not many reactors have done Alpinglow Another great reaction Tank thank you .

It's an abrupt ending because the album version features a poetry / spoken word part that is not included in the live setup. As for next week, as others have already suggested, "Dead Boy's Poem" or maybe "Deep Silent Complete" [both from the Decades DVD]

A ballad, Dead boys poem 👌👌

Being a rock/metal guitarist myself,I dig the way Empuu took a drink of his Corona while sustaining a note on his guitar.

If you want some metal ballad - please try: "Sleeping Sun" or "Bless the Child" - an please ... do it in a "Double Reaction" way - both - the Floor and the Tarja versions are remarkable (i mean to double primarily "Sleeping Sun", but it could mean any of that songs). And if you want some power ballad drama - try "Dead Boy's Poem" by Floor in Buenos Aires..

I'd suggest Sahara live at Tampa. It is not typically a song a lot of people react to, however it would offer you the chance to talk about some gear you haven't seen nightwish use yet and in my opinion the song is criminally underrated.

While your lips are still red. Marco. Tears. Emotions.

Recommendations: Dead Boy's Poem (Buenos Aires), Last of the Wilds (Wacken), While your lips are still red (Wembley), Creek Mary's Blood (End of an Era; there are 2 versions, short and long version, the longer version is about 12 minutes), Weak Fantasy (Tampere)

Dead Boy's Poem has come up few times so throwing that out here also. Great song and both Floors and Tarjas versions are excellent.

Personally, I think your last one before GSOE should be either My Walden or Alpenglow. Leaning more towards Alpenglow because of the subject matter. Great video as always, and will be tuning in next week to see what you pick!

I will keep repeating this one: Nightwish - Deep Silent Complete, live from wishes to eternity

Dead boy's poem!!! Thank you...

RIP Ann, Mother of Nightwish-Family. "And there forever remains that change from G to E minor" oh how i love the album version for the last part. It makes the song so much deeper imho. And of course thank you for the great reaction =)

Since you're about to listen the last song of the Endless Forms tour, might as well listen the first one: Shudder Before The Beautiful.

Emppu with another guitar. Early career, he was very young. Nightwish - Gethsemane (Helsinki 1999)

Tank: "I can tell its a Buzzard, just by looking at the headstock" *shows picture of headstock* me: Well yeah buddy, it says BUZZARD in big letters on the headstock... I know you meant the shape but that just made me chuckle :D btw your general hardware knowledge is insane, mad respect.

I feel like we need to include Her Majesty in the gear talk. "Floor is using her insane vocals, unbelievable breath control, a random mic and a 125 Watt floor fan" 🌪

Nightwish - Creek Mary's Blood Live, End of an Era !!

Sleeping Sun: EoaE + Tampere. As I said, too different to choose only one :D

Did you put Weak Fantasy on your playlist? I’ve suggested this several weeks ago.

Dead Boy's Poem. Or these hands shall find you.

Please do "weak fantasy", it is a song with a sick intro. Preferably the Wembly version, I just like how crisp the song sounds in that version. Or do "Master passion greed", Marko sounds wicked in it. Wish they would do that live.

Every time you talk about pyro I'm thinking about how terrifying it must be for new techs working Rammstein shows...

There’s a wicked live version of Sahara with floor fronting the band. Such and awesome song from Annette Era and the live version with Floor is amazing.

For next week's song I will quote Floor: "The Last Ride! The Last Ride of the DAAAAYYYYYYY"

I tend to think Alpenglow is a perfect lead up to Greatest Show on Earth; and, it seems like very few reactors ever get to it, much less do it first. (Also, there's an official live release on Nightwish's channel; so, no worries about versions with bad transfer to KZfaq.)

I think that this song shows the talents of each individual member of Nightwish - & it shows off how metal & symphonic operatic singing mix & it has pyro! That’s why it’s so popular

Thematically, most fitting song to lead up towards Greatest Show on Earth would be Shudder Before the Beautiful, imo. High energy, feelgood, still goes hard.

Main recommendation: listen to the album version of this song (Song of Myself). The full 12min and 37 seconds. The end/second half that is not played live truly elevates this song imo.

Have to cast a vote for Alpenglow before Greatest Show on Earth, if only for the musical/lyrical callback from one to the other.

Kiss while your lips are still red (Wembley). Troy plays the guitar . Something for your you as a gear nerd!

Love Emppu's riff throughout this one. Dead Boys Poem next please.

i think emppu's bottles of beer during a show should count as an equipment he use :D haha ^^ he drinks corona for ur next gear talk :b

Your "Let's go" always amuses me. It's a weird mix of enthusiastic yet low-energy. Also, you know you're a fan once you start being able to pinpoint albums even if you haven't heard them yet, picking up on style alone.

So great to hear Finntroll - Under Bergets Rot in the background. I've seen them once in a small venue with max capacity of 150 people. :)

I'm just here to express my appreciation to Jukka and the immense energy and power I feel everytime I see him play! Love your reaction as always, can't wait for the next one 👍

Most definitely master passion greed. Marko on vocals and your going to get whiplash from it.

Nightwish - Slayin the Dreamer - End of Era and Decades (Buenos Aires). I havent seen single people react to Slayin the Dreamer end of era one, imo best performance by Tarja and Marko singin like its last day of the band (which was kinda true that time). Spoiler: Emppu is killing the guitar and Marko ends song with famous Finnish word "Perkele" which means God of Thunder

ohhhhhhhh yesssss!!!!!! how many times i jumped in hoping to find this one, and finally you get it!!!!! You and Chase made my day:)

Best Nightwish song in my opinion. Great reaction Tank ...no need to say more then . Keep on rollin this Beautifull Nightwish Train dude ✌💥💎

Bless the child, one word: Amazing Also my current favorite song: Last of the Wilds - Wacken 2013

RIP Ann, Matriarch of the Nightwish Army. For me this song will always be Ann's Song, as this was her favorite song.

The Pharaoh sails to Orion (2000, From Wishes to Eternity DVD). OG Nightwish with Tarja and no Marko but featuring Tapio Wilska as guest vocalist. Emppu was also playing different guitar that time.

Dead boy’s poem, please, pretty please🥺

Each time you see Floor close in to a microphone you know something magical will happen...

Dead Boy's Poem from Buenos Aires is super-EPIC!!!!

Greatest show . You gonna be blown away. Especially your knowledge bout all that goes on with production. There is no way im gonna spoil this for you . Just say they pull off some things , incredible. Only Thomas can can come up with this , and props to everyone backstage that makes it so incredible.

Aaaaahh! Every Wednesday I’m holding my breath for “Greastest show on earth”. I would honestly say I feel it is the best song ever written of all time. You just have to be in the right headspace to take it all in. I don’t think I’ve ever felt the same level of emotion towards a song as I do for the fore mentioned. Please please please do that one!! I can’t hold my breath much longer!! Edit: totally hyped me up at the end!! I can’t wait!!!

About time !!!!! one of my fav's from this set list.... Marko's voice !!!!

You should really check Sacrament of Wilderness Live from Buenos Aires (Floor) or the DVD From Wishes to Eternity (Tarja). A fast song where Emppu shows a little bit more of what he can do.

"And there forever remains that change from G to E minor....." One of my favourites! Thank you for this Tank 🌷! It goes hand in hand storywise with Ghost River for me and is of course enhanced through the movie! Love this!

I REALLY enjoy Nightwish Wednesdays, takes me away from work during my lunch break. It became therapeutical to finish up the remainder of the day. Keep Up The Good Work.

Agree with you on that. When asked what my favorite Nightwish song is I will say the one I am listening to now.

Hey, you spoke just to me, "Justin Case, it's Nightwish Wednesday!" Sweet! \m/ "Sometimes the within, is piano black..." Still hits me right in the stones every time I hear this. Great reaction!

Pumped for your week 20 man, you will appreciate The Greatest Show on Earth more than most reactors.

Want the best pyro in Nightwish it's probably the greatest show on earth

I cannot wait for greatest show on earth. You are gonna love it.

I've been watching your nightwish reaction videos now (will do most of the others, but the Nightwish ones first because... Nightwish!) And the more I watch the more I miss going to live concerts, because the best concerts I have been to (excluding festival concerts here) were Nightwish concerts. Thanks for the nostalgia!

A double reaction of "Deep silent" (one with Floor and one with Tarja) would be so cool! "Weak fantasy" in Tampere is a must-see, too!

I still think you should do the closer, Last Ride of the day at Wacken. You want Pyro, you get Pyro. I would love see you do it as a double reaction with the opener, dark chest of Wonders. This band knows how to open and close a show.

Finally, you got here Tank. This track has the driving song vibe all over it. "Cant drive 55" lol

Wish I Had An Angel triple reaction? Fantasmic reaction? Any Nightwish song, really, is going to be great! Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like the Dead Man.

The juxtaposition of her insane range and presence and this bands hard hitting insane talent is incredible

Love this grungy sound from Nightwish. All i need is my spear! Valhalla!!!

I have watched this reaction a couple of times now because I like this song very much and I love your reactions and all the Tankfacts.. Today I react because I did it, I said it with you this time ESP hahahaha. Thank you once again for this amazing reaction and all of your reactions.. I love them :)

Song of Myself turns dark halfway through the song....so goooooooood! One of my favorite Nightwish songs.

What I always love is the audience all head banging in that breakdown. Everytime, no matter how many times i see this they always do it.

And Jukka’s just there doing his thing!

It always makes me happy when I see members of the band (other than the vocalists) sing while playing.

This song has the nastiest breakdown ever. I love it. ...😈

Anything from the Once era holds a special place in my heart because thats when I first heard Nightwish in Finland. I Wish I Had an Angel from End of an Era is great. Dark Chest of Wonders from Wacken is badass!! They have a live video of Last of the Wilds too, its all instrumental and shows Troy a ton of love while showing different set ups from different shows. Dead Boy's Poem too!!! So many options 😂 Love the reactions man!! Cant wait to see you do Greatest Show.

Thank you for finally ❤️ doing my favorite Nightwish song !!! Can't wait to see how much you love it ....brb...OK, awesome reaction ! So much fun ! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your time !! And of course your knowledge !!!

This song speaks to me in an very deep emotional level; everytime I hear it, I'm already tearing up by the time the first chorus comes. My vote would be for "Alpenglow" at Wembley, it's a simple-yet-effective, but beautiful song, and because it has a lyrical co-relation with TGSOE. Might be fun.

Definitely voting for Dead Boys Poem for next Wednesday! Another grest reaction from an awesome reactor. One last thing...when are you and Chase going to do a dual reaction?

Creek Mary's Blood would be totally different. If you want straightforward vibe I suggest Dark Chest of Wonders. Thanks and be safe!

Master Passion Greed. Heaviest(?) Nightwish song sung mainly by Marko. Sadly there's no live version and never will be, you might want to do some research before reacting to it.

This song has really stuck with me off that album. The outro part that they don't play live is so full of heart and humanity it makes me tear up every time, and I think hearing the full song with that context makes it all the more powerful to me now. Glad you did this reaction!

I'll just imagine that the color of Wednesday is a tribute to the EV-1 ;)

Yass! Love the breakdown in this song. Serious Pantera and Metallica vibes. And Floor absolutely kills in it.

Defenetly Dead Boy's Poem

I love the little details included in Nightwish's compositions, including what the drummer puts out. Like in "Ghost Love Score" actually using the chimes while in this song Jukka regularly hits the cow-bell on the off-beat.

Gethsemane from Live Lista Chart TV 1999, one of their very early recordings (in good quality, as this was aired on Finish TV)

A recommendation completely out of left field: Heilung - Alfadhirhaiti, live at Castlefest 2017. Completely different to anything you've reacted to before, with some very... unique gear. Krigsgaldr is their more well-regarded song, but I think you'd enjoy the heaviness that Alfadhirhaiti brings more. You'll absolutely love it.

Shudder before the beautiful!! I love the solo between Tuomas and Emppu

Shudder Before the Beautiful from Webley, I reaaaaally love the energy of that song

A 7/8 bar, basically 2 songs in one, tonnes of great things going on... moved to the top of list.
