- Today we check out another one from NIGHTWISH called "The Greatest Show On Earth". Have you heard this before? Let me know what you think! #nightwish #reaction
Sadly, I don't think Tuomas will get the recognition he deserves. Such an artist, with so much vision. Unbelievable.
Such a genius level artist for sure!!!
Yes, you just described a genius😊
Todo a su tiempo, amigo
I strongly believe we will all be witnessing his total, global recognition......we 'must' think like that! Because than, this 'will' happen!
Tuomas is the Beethoven, Bach and Mozart of our time. Tuomas deserves the recognition.
🤯 WE WERE HERE! 🌎 🌌
Oh yeah
Austria, Germany, Swiss,Mexico, Buenos Aires, London, Finland, Netherlands, Sweden...just to Name some Nightwish Army Members. Fill in yours
I concur!
I was watching this while doing dishes, my boyfriend came in the kitchen, heard this and asked me if I have my tissues. "Nah, I don't need them for this one" he just chuckled. By the time we got to "we were here" I've got tears and snot running down my face. Ugh, you'd think after listening to this a million times, I could get through the damn thing without crying. 😭😭😭
Yeah I have to admit it had me a bit misty in the eye areas. Such a powerful song, truly a masterpiece!
Tuomas is a genius of composition.His work could be a college masterclass.
Totally agree!
This is a Mammoth of a song. The whole Evolution in a one song. Only Nightwish can do this. ⛄👍
Pretty unbelievable how fast it goes buy, it is such an incredible song from beginning to end!
Man...I'm a gastronomic Chef; I create....and don't get me wrong; I'm very proud of my work, but imagine having music in your head, sitting down, putting your ducks in a row and coming up with...this!? And then finding an empath like Floor to tell your story and convey every single emotion!? Having a band that gets you and takes your creations to yet another level with their performance!? No words man, Tuomas (and by extension the whole of Nightwish) can/will never get the full recognition he deserves. Thank God he doesn't crave it...
I wish I has a tenth of the song writing capabilities he does! Its criminal how underrated this band is on a global scale. I can only hope that people in the states like myself talking about them will bring more attention to them
Well said, sir!
@@stephenclark5812 Thank you, sir!
The song is about the formation of the solar system and the evolution of life on Earth. The spoken sections are voiced by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who wrote the book that inspired this song. The DVD was released in 2016, the show was 2015.
Troy is playing an Irish Low Whistle to start, and then the Uilleann(ill-en or ill-yen) pipes. They are the Irish version of bagpipes, which uses a bellows squeezed by the elbow to inflate the bag. Uilleann is the Gaelic word for elbow.
The song is divided into 5 sections.
Some of the references,
The first section is entitled 4.6- as in 4.6 billion years ,the age of the planet.
Archean horizon, the first sunrise on a pristine Gaia, is referring to the early Earth.
L.U.C.A.- last universal common ancestor, the last life form from which all life on Earth descends.
Lucy of the Afar- at the time of discovery in 1974, it was the oldest set of partial human ancestor remains found, dating to about 3.2 million years.
God of the Gaps- whenever there was a gap in the understanding of something, by mankind, throughout history, a God would be created to explain what they couldn't.
Enter ratkind- some theories say rats will take over when man's time is done.
And a section on the evolution of music. Several pieces of music played, including one from J.S.Bach, Metallica's Enter Sandman, and EDM.
One of 2 popular versions of this song, the other is from Wembley 2015. Both are awesome and worth watching. The biggest differences are that Wembley is indoors, Troy's part starts with guitar with EBOW in place of the Low Whistle, and Richard Dawkins on stage at the end reading the quote from Darwin's The Origin of Species. That quote is the one read over the top of the credits here.
Btw, this show was special for Floor, her parents and sister were in the crowd.
You sir, one of the very few (counted in the fingers of one hand) reactors, who deserve my subscription. Thank you .
Wow, thank you I appreciate that!
Originally it was 30 minutes - but they shortend it to this. I believe it is more than 600 soundtracks mixed!!!
And it's a masterpiece - pure art
Truly amazing!!!
A little sidenote.. the demo´s for next NW album is made, and Tuomas presented the band to it already during the tour, , after listening Floor said that Tuomas did it again, outdone himself, so now im really exited for next album.
Im really looking forward to it!!!
When Troy enters with his pipes, that really hits me in the feels each time. I could listen to him playing that all day.
After a long wait, I finally saw them live last May. I've seen a lot of great shows in my many years, but that was definitely the best I've ever experienced.
I saw them after years on Knotfest in Turku, Finland august 2012. This was just before Floor's cancer diagnostics and probably the little off-tone on her voice was because of that (or maybe just lousy ear monitoring) I had also tickets to the Kaisaniemi concert, which was postponed because of Covid and then postponed and postponed and finally the concert took place on a date and place I couldn't participate. Anyway, I have seen them before with Anette (me and my friends walked out in the middle of the show 2009) and before that several times with Tarja. Those concerts were always amazing.
no matter how many times I watch this now, it is phenomenal that after a show of 2 hours there is still singing at such a high level. This band is simply the best🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
Yes, totally agree!!!
Thank you for this lovely reaction to Nightwish and the Greatest Show On Earth. This is such a massive and incredible composition by Tuomas Holopainen that it defies comprehension. Floor and the band performed this masterfully before this huge crowd at Tampere. Simply lovely.
It was a pleasure this song totally blew me away, its just so incredible!
Great reaction. Really enjoyed the journey through this epic with you. Big thank you.
Thank you, this was a real fun one for sure!
[Repost] Here with a gentle reminder of a great Floor docu to react to (if you haven't already). Bcz do you know it only takes 15 minutes to really become an initiate in all things Floor? Just check out the 2015 Reunion TV show of her Rock Academy class. It's a lovely mini-documentary about Floor. English subbed, done for Dutch TV.
It was partly shot on site at this Nightwish Tampere 2015 concert. Floor's parents were right there in the crowd. They were interviewed right after the sound check. There's also a "day after" interview whith Floor opening up about the terrible burn-out she suffered in 2011. That was only one year before she got that famous phone call from Tuomas. Then there's Tuomas' famous words "She's right at home, doing this".
So here goes, Floor "back to school" with her former classmates from the Rock Academy: "Floor Jansen in Dutch show Reunion (Tampere 2015)". Here's the link tt right version - czcams.com/video/zRqqma4kWIg/video.html Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
YES!! I need to check this out thank you!!! I love digging into the history of bands especially this one!!!
@@TheKillogicEffect Great! You deserve this one. Trust me.
Nightwish will be recording a new album this summer and release next year followed by a tour starting in 2024
I did a video about an interview they did talking about it a while back Im pretty excited and also still have a lot to catch up on not to mention the album coming from Floor
@@TheKillogicEffect Yes Floor's solo album released on March 24th
“That Was Awesome!”
That about sums it up!
There are so many “hidden gems” that Tuomas included in the lyrics & the music.
17:30 The musical tributes include animals, 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 , finally ending in Rap/Hip-Hop and 90s dance music.
Pretty Good isn’t it?!!
Yeah there is so much going on in this song its a lot to take in first hearing it thats for sure, such a masterpiece!!!
And Tumoas doesnt think anyone will find all the music easter eggs 😮
I love the little Reverenz to Bach and Metallica. 🤘 We were here 🤘
Tuomas has that magic to touch your feelings right away..It takes two seconds and you are in it 🔥❤️🤘🇫🇮
It truly is magical!
How cool would it be, learning about the greatest show on earth this way at school, i bet no student would ever forget that history lesson about Mother Earth. Thank you so very much, loved your reaction, bye!!!
That's a great idea! Thank you I appreciate it!
Amazing Nightwish the best band our time...great reaction🤘
Absolutely, thank you!
Look at Troy's T-Shirt. The Face of CHARLES DARWIN!!!
Absolutely great fun seeing you totally sucked into this........and seeing you running out of words......
Great job, really enjoyed every second.....big thank you.
Thank you, this was incredible!
Thank you wery many!! Thank you for choosing this version from my home town Tampere, Finland!! This is the best version and yes, we had fun, laughter and tears during this whole day. The Special Guest Bands were also among my favorite bands. But when NW started with a bang(er), the whole audience electrified and we were witnessing something larger than life! And to end the Show like this, you are in Heaven and I will never forget this day. Yes, pls! If you ever have a chance to see them live, do not hesitate, just go!! What ever it takes. Best Regards from Finland!!
It truly must of been a magical experience to be there!!! They are at the top of my list for bands I want to see for sure!!!
Every Nightwish-song is a story, every song a journey. Thank you for a great reaction.
Thank you too!
This is the ultimate masterpiece
absolutely!
Hey bro!!!! This is a masterpiece. What happens when all the members of a band are the best in what they do? Only one thing. The best band ever! Greettings from Argentina
This is an AMAZING Band, Unique, Great Musicians and People, and Mrs. Jansen - True Goddess.....This song is a masterpiece from start to the end...
At the end Emppu is paying tribute to Metallica with a short rif from Enter Sandman , also Techno music is starting for a little right after that.......Unique......I'm happy that I'm living right now and I was able to see and hear these Great Mucisians and Real Goddess
Greetings from Bulgaria
It truly is an awesome time to be alive for music!!!
I just saw them live twice in Amsterdam and Vienna, I felt like the luckiest girl alive❣️
Thats awesome, I cant wait to see them in person!!!
You are!
A true masterpiece
Brilliant reaction ! The words KID and CANDY SHOP spring to mind when watching you 👏👏👏
Yes, that would be a good way to explain it for sure!
The absolute number one Nightwish song for me! 😊
And I still wonder how Tuomas has managed to make a 24-minute long song in which he tells the entire story of the universe, starting from the birth to the destruction of humanity and what happens after that. We humans are capable of destroying each other, but not life...
-----------------------------------------------------
In 2015, some NW fan made this video that describes the story really well. He found really good background video material.
czcams.com/video/uzPT9dGgeTs/video.html
And here's another video made by a fan
czcams.com/video/tkEcPYnVFsE/video.html
If you have extra time, you should watch them sometime.
Such an amazing way to tell a story in a way that few can! Wow, thats awesome I will have to check those out, thank you!!!
I think you enjoyed that.
BTW, it was July 2015 (but the DVD Vehicle of Spirit) was released in 2016.
It is worth watching the Wembley performance too which has some slightly different instrumentation in places and a surprise at the end.
Oh, and great, great reaction, with many true words spoken.
Thank you I appreciate it!!!
Great watching Your face .. enjoying this spectacal ! ... of the best band and ofcourse female vocalist , the Dutch Floor Jansen ... greets from the Netherlands
Thank you, this was amazing!!!
We all have Nightwish of our own. Which is just right. That's why you get so many requests of different styles of their music by the fans.And exactly, like this song, even the musical desires can change. Which partly concerns me too: from Ghost Love Score to enjoying best the heavier stuff, many of them from the very beginning 25 years ago, but never (& probably never will be) seen them live on video clips. And, as a bonus, I've got known a few other bands too of this genre. Some of them related to Nightwish as well, like Kai's and (the current bassist Jukka's) former "main" band, Wintersun, which I've been constantly listening to for the last few weeks now.
Iv checked out some WINTERSUN they are pretty awesome. I think Im due to check out some more!
Thank you so much for this one! Great reaction, I watch this with tears in my eyes. I love what you said about NW making metal without bad aggression, but instead getting you uplifting experience. That is so true! ❤ Greetings from Finland!
Greetings & thank you very much I really appreciate it!! They are an incredible band for sure Im enjoying my journey into the Nightwish world!
Subscribed...naturellement! Well said, well said, Sir! NW's music is incredible and litterally, sometimes, unbelievable. Über talented musicians, great personalities and........humble to the bone!
Just saw I made the 100th comment to this reaction-video......is there something to win???
Much appreciated! They should have some kind of prize for that...lol
@@TheKillogicEffect Haaahhh.....no, on second thought I'd suggest that would be at 1000 likes...that's fair for you 😀
Nightwish Crew has done their versions of their songs, it is effing awesome! Crewish
Glad you liked it! Saw the, last May near Boston....small venue but it didn’t matter. They played this and it sounded fantastic, even tho Marko isn’t with them. I hope you get to see them!
Thank you, I bet that was incredible
I don't know you, but you really are a kinda familiar friend. I dunno know if you know other metalheads (mates / friends) who don't really dig Nightwish, but I know there are a lot who who are crazy judgey - for goodness-knows what reason (apart from being intimidated). I just dig your honesty and open admiration with NW - they're so fucking badass and fun, friendly and welcoming. Keep it up man.
Thank you I appreciate it they are an incredible band that more people should know about!
@@TheKillogicEffect Fuckin' A!. Take care dude
@@regularsteven You as well!!
The title of the issue is taken from a 2009 book by evolutionary biologist and atheist writer Richard Dawkins, about the evidence for biological evolution. Dawkins also contributes to the album. Holopainen explained to HMV in March 2015: "I wrote him a letter a little over a year ago and explained what ideas we had for this album, mainly about evolution. Since one of the songs goes straight to one of his books, it felt like a perfect match to try and recite him on the album. A few weeks later, he sent me an email accepting the invitation."
"Later in 2014, we recorded his parts at Hats Off Studios, Oxford. This is a huge honour for us, as Dawkins is one of our greatest heroes and his writings have been a huge inspiration for the album."
Wow thats so cool!
This song hits different than any song out there for me, it puts things in such a clear perspective that you cannot ignore, we are the lucky ones who get to enjoy life for the few decades we get to be here, a humbling thought for sure.
You truly sell yourself short if you don't "old-fashioned" listen with the lyrics sheet up, and then have a few more listen throughs to discover all the tiny (sometimes hidden) details in this song.
This is music composing at the level of the great classic masters like Mozart and Beethoven.
Yeah such an amazing piece of work!!!
@@TheKillogicEffect absolutely! :)
No need to explain. We ALL understand. And we were there with you.
What a pleasure to see your joy as this epic unfolds. Lots more wonderful music for you to discover - enjoy
Glad you enjoy it!
I totally agree with you. Most of Metal I love helps me went out my agressions that have been building up without takong it out on someone or something. Thats something all Metalheads share, I think. For me it's Machine Heads first album "Burn my eyes". Effing pure Metal. When I'm angry and I want to blow of some steam, I listen to that album.
But NW not only doing that, but leaves a smile at my face as well. A few others do roughly the same, and, hold on to your hats, Babymetal does the same.. Not by brilliant songwriting as NW, but just beeing funny. Sabaton (where the drummer Hannes is married with Floor) are another band.
You have actually understood the point with Nightwish 🙂
I used to listen to that album daily as well as The Burning Red along with Sepultura Chaos AD. NIGHTWISH have a special kind of magic more people need in their lives!!!
So true, they draw you into the story and you forget about everything else. With an epic ending no less!
I think this masterpiece is not a song but a modern symphony, Tuomas's Opus Perfectum. He is a genius!
I loved your reaction. Was like kid seeing something amazing. Love from Finland
Glad you enjoyed! I really appreciate it, I am always amazed and in awe watching this band!
Thank you ❤️ amazing reaction ❤️ Nightwish amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you too!
Great reaction as allways from you!!
Thank you!
You can't say it just any better.
It really is a magnificent setup 🙂
Seems Nightwish Army was here, cool reaction!
Greetings from UK
Another fantastic reaction, thank you 😊
Thank you too!!!
Great.
This song is Massive,...Song about Evolution of the Universe , Earth and Life .
The song title is taken from a 2009 book by evolutionary biologist and atheist writer Richard Dawkins, concerning the evidence for biological evolution. Dawkins also contributes towards the album. Holopainen explained to HMV in March 2015: "I wrote him a letter a bit more than a year ago and explained the ideas we had for this album, mainly to do with evolution. Since one of the tracks would be named directly after one of his books, it felt like a perfect match to try to get him do some reciting on the album. He sent me an email a few weeks later accepting the invitation."
"Later in 2014 we then recorded his parts at Hats Off Studios, Oxford. This is a huge honor for us, since Dawkins is one of our biggest heroes and his writings have been huge inspiration for the album."
WE WERE HERE !!!!
This song , and that ending gets me every time 🤘🥲🤘And I have seen this "Live" myself, It was religious experience (and I am not even religious person)...
NWSU.
So amazing how this masterpiece got made! Its such and awe inspiring song that grabs ahold of you and doesnt let you go for 20+ minutes. It never gets tiresome or repetitive and it takes you on a journey, simply incredible work!!!
I've been waiting for you to react to this one.
Greetings from Helsinki, Finland. Thx for a very good reaction video. Stay heavy!
Thank you! Will do! \m/
React last ride of the day at TAMPERE
And yours is an empty hope at tampere too
I think Iv done a version from their streaming concert but I would love to check out more of this show so thats a great idea thank you for the suggestion!
Great Reaction 👍......seeing you get a little emotional got me emotional as well .....WE WERE HERE !!!
Thank you, its such a powerful masterpiece of a song, its hard not to be moved by it!!!
@@TheKillogicEffect absolutely 💯
🤩👌💥💯🎼
*OPUS PERFECTUM
🤘😎🇫🇮💙
Please, please, please 🙏 WHEN the time comes and you feel ready for 'The poet and the pendulum' do some research (read the open letter and response, check about Edgar's Allan Poe 'Pit and the pendulum', make a little search about the composition of Tuomas and what led him there.) BUT most of all... Do the live lyric video from Wembley!! I repeat WHEN the time comes and you feel ready. It's possible very wise to check some older stuff with the original singer Tarja Turunen. Such as 'The phantom of the opera', 'Walking in the air' and 'Wishmaster'
Greetings from Greece 🤘🇬🇷
Great suggestion I will be checking that out for sure!
Thanks Killogic effect, Great reaction 🥰👏.
Thank you too! It was a pleasure!!!
This is a master piece of a song great compose Tuomas he is unic .my english is not so good about typing but this is so grerat thanks .
Thank you, I totally agree!!!
You're so good in your reaction. They immediatly take you away on a journy and for a time you just enjoy the music. Nothing else matters. (No pun intended to Metallica, one of the best bands in the world).
Thank you!! Truly a magical band!
In the future the world government will use this song to know who is human and who is an AI. I hope that before that happens Thomas gets the worldwide recognition he deserves as the great composer he is.
It something that everyone on the planet should at least hear once, it is so on point with where we are today as a society and as a species for that matter!
@@TheKillogicEffect totally agree
Thank you ! I like ! 🌍☀🎆🎼
New sub here! I’m in to stay!
Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate it!
No coments. 👋👋👋👋👋❤️👍
I don't believe in ball earth and evolution. But man this is a great song and some lirics get me. They are great😊
😆Aaah, let's go!!! Have FUN!
Just like how Lionel Messi is the Greatest Of All Time in football, Tuomas is in music. Tuomas is the G.O.A.T. or GOD of music... Literally... He can create symphony mixed with rock sounds...and not only.... the dudes in the past knew only classical music... what Tuomas is creating are Experiences.... HE IS A AN AMAZING COMPASSIONATE GENIUS !!!
Couldnt agree more!!!!
If you like /"love" the intro , check out Helen Jane Long. When I first heard this, it was in another window, & came on via Autoplay. Thought it was HJL, til I heard the fireworks, then switched over to see it , then :O00000!!!! :P
'Course had to go back & start from the beginning. ;)
Such an amazing song!
My favourite long-form NW work ("song" is too small a word)! The genius of Tuomas: he gets depressed, pours it into the music and creates _Poet_ _and_ _the_ _Pendulum;_ he gets happy, does the same and creates _TGSoE._ Then they get filtered through the band (plus Pip Williams and the Londoners), producing further alchemy. Treat yourself to the Wembley performance too - Tampere is the better show IMO, but Wembley has better sound, more Troy, and a special guest!
I would eventually love to watch a few of these live shows in their entirety. They put on such an amazing live show that is second to none!
Human :|: Nature ! Floor Jansen ..the Leader of the Pack... ok no no sorry actually they are all the Leaders of the Pack. She is my Role Model. A heavy Beast and a Beauty, an Artist, i am happy that she us healthy now and defeated Cancer. Hey they are all equal professionals on their Instruments. Live them all. Emppu, Troy, Tuomas, Kai, Jukka and Jukka behind NW (not playing but working for them still)
🤘🇫🇮
Do you ever recover from a Nightwish show? Asking for a friend.
Im sure its something that stays with you forever
try out also davina michelle another great dutch singer..totaly differend but a raw voice..does a lot of covers but also her own songs now pink discovered her by a cover she found better than she sang herself.. this is a dark cover of britney spears oeps i did it again czcams.com/video/DM_tWaTkfH4/video.html thisher singing pink song when discovert czcams.com/video/T5ZLdNA_wOc/video.html , this her singing on eurovision czcams.com/video/1QiftAFZoZM/video.html
That sounds awesome I will have to check that out thank you for the suggestions!!!
Посмотри эту же песню на стадионе Уэмбли, там начало клавиши и гитара вместо волынки - играет Трой, почти божественно.
Yeah im going to be checking out the Wembly show for sure!
