I miss Tarja, but that is an incredible performance. Most bands sound kinda bad live, it is much more difficult to sing live vs in a studio and far fewer elements are in your control. Yet, despite Nightwish's vocals being so challenging she hits every note while singing live and headbanging surrounded by constant pyro. So much hard work must have gone into preparing for this set, what a pro.
What's crazier is that this set was still when Floor was still "just" a fill-in temp.
On a side note, I got into Nightwish back in the Tarja days. Not like super-fan, but definitely in my regular rotation. Completely missed all the drama, so when I heard there was a new single I was VERY confused when I listened to Amaranth. Not what I was expecting, and not really what I was looking for. So I tuned out and just listened to the older stuff... missing the drama yet again. Missed it so hard that I didn't even realize there was another singer change until 2018. Watched a few live videos... then needed to scrape my jaw off of the floor. No pun intended.
