  • They do such an incredible job on this cover song! Great video quality & sound too, thanks for the upload. Anyone know who the keyboard player is? he's been featuring in most of my fantasies, oops I mean dreams, yep that's my story & I'm sticking to it, dreams. heh heh. Love Nightwish anyway but covering my #1 fave band of all time, the ultimate :)

  • @gmj2012 his name is Tuomas Holopainen.

  • Perfect perfect perfect! Marco is MY MetalGod...I LOVE HIM :))

  • hai ma ce plm ii filmat in romania si nu vb nmn ro pe aici?:(

  • @MetalDRQ stai ma linistit k mai sunt si romani care se uita la filmarea asta:P

  • They fuckin nailed it ! Such a good fucking adaptation ! You don't get to hear stuff like this often nowdays !

  • I want to be born early to see this concert:) And Old Nightwish with Tarja^^

  • I think the cameraman is fell in love with Jukka (the drummer) --> I wanted to see the guitar solo :'(

  • I saw this live, i was 15 back then, just started high school... I remember this was one of my favourite songs (still is) and i had no idea Nightwish were gonna play it.. It blew my mind when i heard the organ intro, it was one of the best shows i ever went to

  • What everyone has to remember is that a cover means the band likes the original song, and deemed it worth playing and hearing. Considering how much effort nightwish put into this one, it's clear they have a TON of respect for the source material, and produced this fantastic version.

  • I kind of like this... Not the worst Floyd cover someone's ever done...

    Very haunting...

    I like it... 

  • Little comment: that is not their song :)

  • @mgambar really? I had no idea! thanks for clearing that out pal!

  • @deutschesmaedchen Under "Their song" i did not meant Author of song, pal ;) Songs like this is very hard to "cover"...

  • @deutschesmaedchen Under "Their song" i did not meant Author of song, pal ;) Songs like this is very hard to "cover"...

  • @deutschesmaedchen Under "Their song" i did not meant Author of song, pal ;) Songs like this is very hard to "cover"...

  • @mgambar it's okay. yes it is something to deal with, and I think they shouldn't have ventured and done it but it's already played :P

  • Emppu started his solo kinda late...still an awesome cover from an awesome band xD

  • Pink Floyd is incomparable. 

  • @emymen three times.

  • Pretty good cover, but Pink Floyd originals are always better than covers, its impossible to recreate that captivating sound there songs have whether its high hopes or any of there other songs. Pink Floyd forever

  • it doesn`t matter which one is better... I love both, the original and NWs version! Great song!

  • Buddy! Pink Floyd cannot be touched! by nightwish or anyone else for that matter, but this cover is excellent. i don't think they did a bad job, but the original will always be superior, because David fucking Gilmour composed it, haha peace

  • Hey dude. Anyone who digs Pink Floyd is a friend of mine.

  • this version is much much better

  • nice cover..pink floyd the best.

  • I know! Pink floyd will ALWAYS be the best!!

  • forever and ever..

  • the camera man seems to have something against empuu :P

  • "There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps

    Running before time took our dreams away"

    who is????

  • just like Korn's Another brick in the wall this song is just a great tribute for a great bant: Pink Floyd. These are refreshed versions so thya may sound a lot better but Pink floyd was first:)

  • @Cloudtw Except, Nightwish is actually good, where Korn sucks

  • fuck... so many stupid people arguing their cases... why the fuck don't you just listen to pink floyd's version and end this shit. i enjoy this version, as well. not as much as i enjoy the original, but i consider this to be good. well done to nightwish! damn... you people are fucked up! stop arguing and listen to the song already! or not... whatever...

  • i love this song .. but this video is not good! there is another one that u can actually enjoy :)

  • don't blame the video for the band's faults.

  • My favorite song performed by my favorite band... 5/5 stars....! <3

  • pink floyd will be always the best... anyway this version is awesome

  • what a powerful voice

  • It's not bad, but i prefer the Floyds version. But they tried and made a good job on this.

  • Oh guys this is just a cover.. Dont criticise NW about this.. Even the greatest band could not reach the original version by the LEGENDARY Floyd! Its a very good cover not compared to Pink Floyd...

  • @stargazerOCEANBORN actually not even pink floyd could nail it live as well as they did on the album. there's no such thing as perfection, ever. in any shape or form, and it's what makes creating things so much more endearing. people who won't accept or understand it shouldn't bother commenting, as far as I'm concerned.

  • @deutschesmaedchen true...

  • @deutschesmaedchen pink floyd does perform this song perfectly live numerous times in 1994.

  • @rivfader780 actually, like I said, perfection does not exist.

  • @stargazerOCEANBORN I agree. And they do a damned close cover too, with PF being my #1 band of all time, I can give these guys super high marks for this extremely close cover. Anyone complaining, shut up & listen, or do a better job than this, even PF would give them an A+!

  • THEY did a pretty good job nothing can compare to pink floyd BUT they still did a pretty good job for a song that wasint there style

  • This isn't the easiest song to cover... could've done a more feasible song like Comfortably Numb.

  • Marcus>annet xD

  • Love the song, however... i knw ur not the camera man, but what the hell is going on there... there was no close up opn Emmpu for his solos, and the solos at that wernt strong... he really struggled with the 2nd solo keeping it in time!

    but its Emppu and hes amazing... forgiven!!!

  • i love this song...

  • marco <3 mina riskatan sinua (L)

  • Haha, Tuomas's facepalm during Marcos speech in the beginning :,,D

  • cooles viedeo^^

  • Thanks for sharing!

  • I was there as well...great song and concert

  • Wow i was there. and it was my bithday too... 8->

  • the one who filmed this is a dumb someone .. show us the GUITARIST in the guitar solo !

  • daaamn..i didn't thought that there was a video from the concert in Romania...i was there...it was awsome <3...miss the old NW..toghether they were the best!

    btw, great cover <3

  • i love marco's voice:) well tarja's too but she is not on on this song duuuuuh:P....quite a good cover as this is an honor to pink floyd not a "compare the best" or whatever...LOVE OLD NW

  • hmm yea that was alrite actually, not the best as im a HUGE HUGE HUGE pink floyd fan,

    but i am a nightwish fan also so yea i think it does it justice i would say, but im sure a lot of people along with myself prefer the orginal but i hate those morons who will insult the band who covers the song because they are only playing it because they think its GOOD!! Which is an honour enough, so people be a little bit more open about these things (AKA LordEli) Pink Floyd forever!!

  • Great cover, probably the best ive ever heard...but its still not Floyd.

  • The Floyd is the Floyd, says this Finn.

  • man, I've come to think it's a good thing they only covered Pink Floyd. just imagine what wave of hatred from the "good old classic fans" they would've got if they had gone for a Queen song... although I believe Marco would sound absolutely fantastic doing a rendition of "The Show Must Go On".

  • Touche :)

  • This is awesome. I would never have thought to do this to the Floyd but it works. Pity that they don't have Gilmour or the huge bell.

  • i think it's fuckin awesome,i like pink floyd too but this is more rockin

  • A 2-a chitara din aprti s-a auzit...

  • Doamne...imi amintesc acordurile alea..eram sus, la birourile de la ultimul etaj al Polivalentei, ajutam pe cineva cu care lucreaza acolo...m-am dus jos sa ascult cantecele si asa a inceput totul...;_;

    God, I remember those tunes, I in the offices upstairs of the Polivalenta helping somebody who works there; I went down to listen to the songs and so it all began....;_;

  • it was allright.....good damn i miss Gilmours voice haha :):):):):) but hey....nice tribute though !

  • not bad .. lets say 3 stars compared to the original

    thnx for the post

  • if you hate it so much, why waste space with your comments or even bother watching the video in the first place

  • How does everyone hate this?...Pink Floyd isn't music...It's somebody talking with music in the background.

    Ok not really but he's just too monotone to idolize like it seems everyone does. Music has effect, tone, emphasis, and everything else you just don't get in Pink Floyd works.

    and I know music - (not bands...*MUSIC*)

  • imi amintesc cu dor de concert.. a fost superb :)

  • Nightwish fara Tarja Turunen=0

  • i love this version, i like floyd but i like the heavier version

  • Lol - There's so much fog on stage, I was like 'where's Julius, where's Emppu?!' in the beginning...

    *sigh* I absolutely adore Marco's hair...

  • Wow this is totally different than Pink Floyd's version of High Hopes, I did like it though, except where he tries to sing like Gilmour..

  • PINK FLOYD FOREVER!

  • mama pacat ca nu am mers ...asami pare de rau...da nu am stiut ...:((( ca sigur mergeam..:

  • as fi vrut sa fiu acolo8->

  • nightiwsh4 ever vor avea iar concert in romania pt a 3-a oara

  • dont know about you guys ,but for me,this is pure magic...

  • Liked this version better than Pink Floyd's...then again, I've never been a fan of Floyd.

  • "Four prime examples of Finish Manhood"

    Marcco is Hilarious

  • did Marco say that Tarja was already gone?

    than I understand Tuomas' decision, if Tarja acted like this...

  • Awesome

  • just for the record, HIM have never covered High Hopes. at least not Pink Floyd. :)

  • Hims s a piece of shit

  • I Love you Marco

  • I prefer Nightwish's version but the live of End of Era is better . .

    MArco's voice are . . Whaou Oo'

    I love Him ^^ <3

  • i dont like it...but its great to see such new bands appreciate older masters like floyd

  • I listening the metal music 12 years , and I listening Nightwish from the begining (1996)... They have own style, made a new metal course ( like Iron MAiden - New British wave)!! Great musicians!! Anyway perfect cover for me !! I don't understand the people who hate this cover , only because this is original pink floyd song and someone cover them... Listen music with your heart ,fell every note, let the music touch your heart...!! sorry for my english ;) !!

  • Pink Floyds version will always be better no questions asked

  • Im PF fan since i am like 5 years old and now im 19, the original will always be the best for me, but this is super also, especially keyboard in the begining. I really dont think people should argue which band makes it better, because it has no point...

  • Bodomlakeafter I agree with you.

    I have seen PF live 3 times and they are totaly awesome! I also love Night Wish and I think their version is great!I also think that people should not argue! there is no point. Obviously PF fans such as myself will think that PF has more of a sentiment behind it but when you hear Marcos in Night Wish..he is great too!2 different versions...2 different Worlds! Let's love both:)

  • You know, it really cant be better than the original... different, but not better... because the original, well is the original...

  • Im PF fan since i am like 5 years old and now im 19, the original will always be the best for me, but this is super also, especially keyboard in the begining. I really dont think people should argue which band makes it better, because it has no point...

  • I was a big fan fan of Pink Floyd. With this song I learned to know Nightwish. And now I'm fan of the two bands. this song is awesome and I love the two versions

  • this is great ^-^

  • this is a great song. Marco is so passionate when he sings and Emppu played a stunnig solo . Jukka did a great snare part and superb drumming ... but i have to ask people not to compare it to the Pink Floyd version becouse these two songs are totaly diferent in terms of style...

  • Been to this performance.

    Concert was excellent, and this cover is a good song.

    Stop trying to compare two bands that are completely different ;)

  • Interresting, great that metalband covers Pink Floyd ;).

  • Coming from someone who has Pink Floyd tattooed on them this cover is actually so good...it was better when they played it at Glasgow though. Remembering the fact that they are a Finnish heavy metal band I feel that they did the song justice. It's their way of saying thank you to Pink Floyd. Well that and I have this version of the song to thank for getting my fiance into Pink Floyd. Both bands are amazing, both are unique and there is no point in bickering over it. Bands will always do covers.

  • yeah, pink floyd rules, but so does Nightwish and the cover is different, but great. its AMAZING, and a GOOD thing that they changed the style to fit them. what would be the point of a cover if everything was the same?

  • seriosly,alot of people are have a pretty one-tracked mind(i think that's what you call it xP),i mean it's like:either it's better/just as good as pink floyd version,and if it's not it sucks?A cover ain't supposed to be like the original it's supposed to be something that makes it unique.

  • i agree! pauletti sucks, :P

  • of course pink floyd is a lot better but it is a good cover...

  • Can you all fucking just shut up! yes, the pink floyd version is realy great! But for fuck sake, this is a wonderful cover, in a different style... Yes, yes, it doesnt sound like floyd... But the idea with an cover is sing it AND change it some so it fits the band style better! And acualy, I love this one! And I also love the floyd version (ofc)!! And to all you who say things like: "OMG THIS SUCKS!!!" man, if you had heard this and didnt knew that it was a cover, whould it still suck?

    no...

  • again:

    IS a cover, stupid!!

    thay make this with they own style..

  • That isn't nearly soo good like Pink Floyd..

  • Idk, they can't sing it without permission =P

  • This will sound strange, but I like Nightwish. Granted I've only heard a few of their songs, but I am forever a fan of Floyd. I just wish I could say Nightwish did this song some justice, because I believe they did not. They have balls for even attempting to cover such a brilliant song, but at least find a singer that can hit the notes.

  • Actually, I think Gilmour said that he like this cover. I like it too - I'm a huge fan of PF and a fan of Nightwish as well... it's certainly not as tear-inducing as the pf version, but this is good in a different way, and Marco nails the vocals..

  • Pink Floyd Rulez!!!

    Hietala Rulez!!!

  • You can't compare this version with the original by Pink Floyd!!

    Yes, this version is good and well done, but it will never get so much respect as the original!

  • Anyone knows which gear Tuomas uses for the great bell sound ?

  • I love how raw this version is compared to the original. Both versions are great.

  • You guys lack maturity. This is an excellent version of high hopes as well as the end of an era version from Nightwish vocally and musically. It doesn`t replace the PF version but it is very good. Just admit it because I know you guys like it.

  • nightwish rulzzz....... is every band cool in the world if i can a see ..nightwish go on

  • nightwish is ever band cool if i can a see ...nightwish rulzzz and i'm happy because he come in Romania

  • i love that song ^^

  • XD Emppu playes pretty wrong at 4:38 :P sounds like crap

  • Pink floyd 4 ever!

  • i think the girl would of done a better job of singing it than the dude.

  • Just awesome <3

  • Nightwish learn from pink floyd.

  • fucking great cover

    nightwish=legend

  • I love

  • i would say this song fiths good for a dark night and pink floyd's version for a nice dawn :)

  • well. i really like this one =)

  • Awesome concert footage. Would have loved to be there. Thanks. Marco's voice is awesome in this.

  • cool, except when he sings alone.

  • Does anyone know which live concert they played High Hopes that was on the Highest Hopes (Best of Nightwish) CD?

    PS. I think both Nighwish's and Pink Floyd's versions are good =D

  • I don't have any knowledge of that, sorry. But thank you for the supporting comment, anyway!

    These 2 videos have been filmed by the Aquarius Fundation ONLY, and it belongs to them, so does the rest of the footage, but the fundation hasn't shown any sign of interest in publishing it since the concert took place, I'm sorry. Actually, they've not shown any sign of life at all since the fall of 2006.

  • if we dont compare with the Pink floyd one.

    its nice for a metal style

    But PINK FLOYD cannot be convered by anyone like PF..

    but nice for a metal version

  • Where i can Get the Whole Concert Please.

  • I have said this before, and it's in the video details I'd written, but what the hell, I'll say it again: the entire, acceptable quality, gig footage hasn't been uploaded anywhere on the internet so far.

  • Questa canzone è così splendida che riesce ad esserlo anche in una simile, disgraziata, situazione.

  • Questa canzone è così splendida che riesce ad esserlo anche in una simile, disgraziata, situazione.

  • Questa canzone è così splendida che riesce ad esserlo anche in una simile, disgraziata, situazione.

  • Questa canzone è così splendida che riesce ad esserlo anche in una simile, disgraziata, situazione.

  • well, its metal, what do you expect? Pink Floyd was all about subtlties and obscourities, somthing that metal obviously isn't, its all in your face.

  • Turisas covered a pop song and it worked.

    They covered pink floyd, and failed.

  • I love that, "Tarja's already gone." What a turd. XD

  • So what if they covered an awesome song?

    If all bands should be blamed for covering awesome songs, then let's shoot Metallica for covering Whiskey in the Jar, too!

    Dang, this world should be big enough for everyone!

    Crass crass evil, 21st century soulless people!

  • well of course everyone is entitled to their personal and fair opinion, but don't flame the band because they've done a Pink Floyd cover in a heavy metal style, it was their choice and some people actually enjoy it.

  • Your the best marco & tuomas too!!!!! :*:*

  • nice cover! i didn't know the rest of the band could sing!! he's got some voice in him, although a bit rusty!

  • Pink Floyd RULZ !!

  • ..............................­..........

  • they rocks!! =)

  • interesting version;)

  • Great job, Marco! Marco ROCKS in this song! :D

  • The idiot with the camera shows the drummer in the guitar solo. -.-

    Very Good.

  • damn! he's soooo stupid indeed!

  • oh!!!my god!!!marco's voice is wonderfull!!!i love this song!!!!the best of the best

  • No, she shouldn´t have. This song fits Marcos voice perfectly ^^

  • Man... are you nuts? Tarja never sang this song from the start... This is an Male song... Ye tarja is good, but i dont realy think that this song fit her...

  • Det kan ikke måle seg med Pink Floyd sin orginale!

  • Kunne ikkje vært mer enig! :)

  • Not bad. But not as good as it is in the original. It's PF's song forever and they do it the only way it should be done. I really like Nightwish, but this song had so much in it in the original that doesn't have here.

  • That was awesome, there are alot of people on Youtube that try to record their concerts, but the quality is so poor, that all you see are peoples heads and hear them screeming, but you can't hear or see the band very well up close. I'm definitly subcribing to you, I hope you get to do more Nightwish videos, I'll be here~ watching! Thanks again~ Dora :)

  • wonderful video! Did you film it? :D

  • fusei si eu acolo :X

  • La primera ves que escuche a Marco Hietala cantar me enamore T-T, y bueno Nightwish es una buena banda, aver como va ahora con su new vocalista

  • amazing!

  • a realy good cover, i liked it!

  • i used to like nightwish...man, how tuomas irritates me nowdays.

  • Why don't we see emppu during solos, that's sad :( cool video though ...

  • Really great song !!! Really great cover !!! Just loves it !!!

  • No, she should not!

  • awesome song thanks for postin. i love nightwish an pink floyd but i think pink floyds version is better.

  • very, very good cover. And a rare video with male singing in Nightwish you were here, Pink Floyd: Syd Barett, Dave Gilmour, Roger Water, Richard Wright.

  • The original destroy's this one!

  • Not bad, but Pink Floyd destroy's this one...

  • First comment in 9 months?? Good video, good song :)

  • fuckin awesome
