There are so many “hidden gems” that Tuomas included in the lyrics & the music. 14:25 The musical tributes start with some African tribal drumming, then through the Gregorian chant in Dies Irae (Mozart), Bach’s Minuet in G Major followed by his famous Fugue in D Minor, followed by American banjo music, Metallica’s Enter Sandman riff
A very big thanks to you and everyone involved! It brings back memories of me playing his music in my room on a record player. Have seen him twice but not in a big concert. Keep up the good work, highly appreciated 💪
I am so thankfull for this Song. 4 hours ago, i lost my 3 year young son. 4 days ago He was a happy Kid. I am so in Love with my little Boy. I can not believe, that i Had to say good Bye forever. I am still in this Hospital. I am so afraid to come Home. Without my Boy. Maybe Dawkins will Help me. Its so much pain in my Heart.

:| JANUARY 12, 2021 |: Resignation announcement from Marko: Dear people. I am leaving Nightwish and my public life. For a quite a few years now I haven’t been able to feel validated by this life. We have streaming company big guns demanding 9/5 work from artists of inspiration while unfairly sharing the profits. Even among the artists. We’re the banana republic of the music industry. Biggest tour promoters squeeze percentages even from our own merchandise while paying dividends to Middle East. Apparently some theocracies can take the money from the music that would get you beheaded or jailed there without appearing as hypocrites. Just a couple of examples here. This past year forced me to stay home and think. And I found myself very disillusioned about these and a lot of things. I found out that I am in need of that validation. For me to write, sing and play, I need to find some new reasons and inspirations. ”My Walden” so to speak. And it’s even in my book that I’m a chronic depressive. It’s dangerous for me and the people around me, if I continue. Some of the thoughts a while back were dark. Don’t worry, I’m fine. I have my two sons, a wife, the rest of the family, friends, a dog and lots of love. And I don’t think that I’ll be gone for good. Conspiracy is the word of the day. For the people who like them I need to say that my 55th birthday is now on 14th of Jan and I’ve certainly done my time for now. Blaming for instance Tuomas is an insult to both him and my free thinking. This is a very sad thing to all of us too. Have a care please. But of course now we’ll know, if some go there on purpose. There are a couple of things agreed on that I will do on 2021. Otherwise I kindly and with respect ask the media, bands, artists projects etc. to not ask me for anything within the next year. I have some reinventing to do. I hope to tell you about it on 2022. It’s not a promise though. I am so sorry about this. Marko Hietala P.S. Tony Iommi is an exception to the “no contact whatsoever”.

Fun tidbit: First quote is Richard Dawkins, Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder Second is also from the same book Ending quote is Darwin, The Origin of Species, its last sentence in fact, though edited. The original is: " There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone circling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved."
Her name is Floor because she knocks out everyone with her impeccable voice so that we all end up on the floor. Masterpiece experience right here. Nothing that can outshine this one.
Perhaps it's just the lighting, but I'd like to think this song is so long that the sky went noticeably darker at the end of the song than it was at the beginning
welp. ive been watching days and days of the Ukraine invasion coverage. very sad times. came back to this video for the first time in a while. i have seen this over a hundred times. but with everything going on in the world this time definately hit different. much love, world. much love, life.
I remember when Endless Forms Most Beautiful first came out and I just casually checked the song list and their individual playtimes online. Seeing 20 minutes playtime right beside The Greatest Show on Earth got me thinking if this was some sort of mistake. Boy was I wrong and boy was I in for a fantastic treat from Nightwish. I cannot compare the way this masterpiece makes me feel to anything else, it just resonates so powerfully with my own intellectual makeup and my own sense of wonder about the universe we live in. Thank you Nightwish for the unlimited joy that I got over the past 17 years listening to your music.
When I read Richard Dawkins fabulous book titled "The Greatest Show On Earth," I was disappointed it wasn't about a Nightwish concert. Also - there is absolutely no evidence that Floor is not Gaea herself!
I would like to have reaction videos from Mozart, Beethoven and J.S. Bach. How would the forefathers of rock & metal react to this masterpiece? Let's vote this to the national anthem of mankind!
Beautiful!!! ❤
I’ll never get tired of this masterpiece

Mother of all singers
This is a work of musical genius by Tuomas
Marco 😢
A very big thanks to you and everyone involved! It brings back memories of me playing his music in my room on a record player. Have seen him twice but not in a big concert. Keep up the good work, highly appreciated 💪
I don't speak Finnish, but I believe at 16:50 Marco is saying "Viimeinen", right? What does he say at 16:37?
""Ja isolla!", which can roughly be translated to "and loudly!"
Begins at 0:13
Day light at the start night time by the end. Has to be a Nightwish classic

The voice of an angel...Marko for ever !
Floor kills it too tbh
@@gizmo037270 The entire band kills it here hehe
Her name is Floor because she knocks out everyone with her impeccable voice so that we all end up on the floor. Masterpiece experience right here. Nothing that can outshine this one.
This could serve as the 6th extinction ending theme lul
This is what it’s like to be human and feel! 🤩
the greatest indeed! Twas my 1st time listening to this one! and fuck it feels like I went on a journey😂
Perhaps it's just the lighting, but I'd like to think this song is so long that the sky went noticeably darker at the end of the song than it was at the beginning
It was near midnight, so naturally the sky darkens.
Never ever get tired of this......Jeez
Truly shows how amazing God is.
The Avengers of Metal!
most greatest show on earth indeed...bravo Nightwish. I love u all
💙
This masterpiece must be the national anthem of mankind!
Mankind is the worst that has ever happened.
As another has said, they're like gods... with instruments. And then there's Floor...
Tuomas - just look at him. Just. Look. At. Him! This man lives and feels every note of what he composes. The passion!
"Ja isolla!"
MASTERPIECE nothing else.. Nothing less
wonderful song
This is such an amazing song! It is a beautufull peace of art. And beautifull lyrics that give me Chills every time y listen to it.
Wow. We were here- is a great statement.
I cried 💚 so much fucking beautiful performance !!!
welp. ive been watching days and days of the Ukraine invasion coverage. very sad times. came back to this video for the first time in a while. i have seen this over a hundred times. but with everything going on in the world this time definately hit different. much love, world. much love, life.
Still... nothing has changed!

For the millions of people who will never die because they never saw the light of day...we miss your gifts you could have brought us.
This is the work of art that will secure Tuomas' place next to every other genius composer in history. Fucking insanely brilliant.
Never call yourselves a nightwish fan if you're a flat earther.
This atmosphere in back, with all those...overcast clouds its just...i dont know...
🧡🌏💚
Meraviglioso
Wow, what an experience this was <3
When I read Richard Dawkins fabulous book titled "The Greatest Show On Earth," I was disappointed it wasn't about a Nightwish concert. Also - there is absolutely no evidence that Floor is not Gaea herself!
I wish i could "like" this video every single time I'm watching it.
WOW!!....just...WOW!!!
Imagine being right there for that show. I'm hoping to see them in London this December - I'm fucking pumped! 🤘🏻😍🤘🏻
I would like to have reaction videos from Mozart, Beethoven and J.S. Bach. How would the forefathers of rock & metal react to this masterpiece? Let's vote this to the national anthem of mankind!
Here that crowd pop after the last we were here? That's amazing. That is when you know as an artist you put on a show.
