I always prefer their live versions and most of it is thanks to the amazing crowd. There's just something about their music that's amplified so much by crowd singing along.
Man, Hansi could just get the crowd to sing the whole damn song, but then we'd miss out on his amazing voice, only blind guardian can get a crowd this epic
I love how the lead guitarist looks soo happy. There are many bands that look angry when they play, but when I see blind guardian I can tell they're having a really good time. That's one of the reasons I love their music.
The Chorus gives me chills everytime. MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL. TRUE HOPE LIES BEYOND THE COAST. YOU'RE A DAMNED KIND CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE WINDS WILL CHANGE!
I like the studio version as well but they have that special interaction with us (their fans) that makes their gigs unique. Plus they are incredible musicians
@@danielsantslv4565 Thats not true. some singing techniques allow singing over a long period. The singer of the scorpions sang all day when they were recording. it just depends on how much mass you have to accelerate in your throat. if you sing more with your mouth and tongue its less straining
@@Ginkoman2 except that Klaus Meine’s singing is entirely different from that of Hansi, with Hansi’s requiring more usage of harsher techniques and higher notes that would damage anyone’s voice if done excessively, and not even Meine himself could do that.
I hate Lord of the Rings. The movie was terrible and I have heard that the book is even more boring. Why anyone would like to watch a movie how some people wonder in a forest and talk to the trees? Boring compilation of special effects! I'd rather watch even Water-world. This band has also made songs about Peter Pan - which has almost as little street credit as Lame of the Rings. Their music is very good though and I bought Imaginations from the Other Side just to listen to their music. The lyrics are just cringe!
Blind Guardian: One of the very few bands where LIVE = ALBUM!!!! 100% perfect, no fail. Nearly imbossible. No wonder my head is about to explode after the first song of a concert of them :) Haaaaansi!!!!!
I love the way Hansi sings 'that the winds will change' in this version. He just turns on his internal voice distortion or something. The way he sings that is better than the album.
yeah bro.. i saw them live yesterday..i cant believe that hansi still has the same godish voice live after all these years he is singing.when valhalla came in we were all singing for extra 4 minutes Valhaaallaaaaa deliverance hahaha it was so awesome..hansi said Absolutely fucking amazing.i truly believe that they had to see such a good live for a long time :) Long live Blind Guardian \m/
@@andrear5776 Dorn? Cmon man, you could’ve picked a better singer. He’s great and all but he’s nowhere near Hansi, not in range, power, versatility, or tone.
Far, far beyond the island We dwelt in shades of twilight Through dread and weary days Through grief and endless pain It lies unknown The land of mine A hidden gate To save us from the shadow fall The lord of water spoke In the silence Words of wisdom I've seen the end of all Be aware the storm gets closer Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That tomorrows bears insanity Gone's the wisdom Of a thousand years A world in fire and chains and fear Leads me to a place so far Deep down it lies my secret vision I better keep it safe Shall I leave my friends alone Hidden in my twilight hall (I) know the world is lost in fire Sure there is no way to turn it Back to the old days Of bliss and cheerful laughter We're lost in barren lands Caught in the running flames Alone How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Even though The storm calmed down The bitter end Is just a matter of time Shall we dare the dragon Merciless he's poisoning our hearts Our hearts How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change

Fuck... I've heard this song hundreds of times, maybe thousands. But it still gives me GOOSEBUMPS each time. This song is the definition of EPIC METAL. Live long and prosper Blind Guardian. Ill never stop listening to your music... And I want this song to be played on my funeral.
I saw them last night in Massachusetts. Best show I've ever been to. While video's like this are great, it still does them zero justice. It must be seen and heard live in person.
"Hansi, how close to the studio version you wanna sound? " - "Yes"
Pretty close indeed, no surprise since their live dvd's are edited in studio. Including Hansi's voice.
I always prefer their live versions and most of it is thanks to the amazing crowd. There's just something about their music that's amplified so much by crowd singing along.
@@rykehuss3435 Editing has nothing to do, seen them live 3 times, they sound good af.
@@kills12kills Of course editing has a shit-ton to do. That doesn't mean they don't sound good live without it, tho.
Man, Hansi could just get the crowd to sing the whole damn song, but then we'd miss out on his amazing voice, only blind guardian can get a crowd this epic
This actually happened to a concert of theirs I attended a week ago. The crowd sang ALL of the Bard Song while Hansi himself sang 5-6 lines at most
Im new to the band, would it be offensive to suggest these versions actually sound better than the albums?
@MonoGrinded No. Not at all. They are amazing at concerts.
I've said it before, but still:
You know a band is amazing when people come to a show to hear THEMSELVES sing!!!
\,,/ Hail to the bards of METAL \,,/
115 people work for Morgoth
Part time...
Bilingord the field is lost everything is lost....
150 in moment
People who watch Lord of the Rings are lame.
@@Rekko82good thing this song is about the Silmarillion then

Henjo from Gamma Ray is always smiling as well. Guy plays so good and is always fun to watch his high spirits.
@@1SmokingLizard Helloween, maybe?
Kai Hansen always looks happy
The Chorus gives me chills everytime. MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL. TRUE HOPE LIES BEYOND THE COAST. YOU'RE A DAMNED KIND CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE WINDS WILL CHANGE!
+SlenderMansBuddy It's those drums, they just go in overdrive when the chorus starts, that's what makes that that chorus so beast..
Tuor the only immortal Man
Hansi didn't get fat, he just acquired power, a lot of power.
No matter how many times I listen to this song. Every time is the same, so fucking amazing! Hansi rules!
This is not only the song. This is the epic saga from the gods!!! :)
The best Mirror Mirror live ever!!!!
this song is so much better live
All of their songs are better live ! ahah
Its true my friend \m/
I like the studio version as well but they have that special interaction with us (their fans) that makes their gigs unique. Plus they are incredible musicians
I've tried to find a live version that sounds like the album, failed
Pablo Des it sounds better in live
What a vocalist!!
Hansi is the only artist that will always without fail, manage to sound better live
He never sound better live, if he tried he would not last 3 songs

Rob Halford too
I'd not say he's better than on the studio but he is good and consistant live, seen them 3 times, they never dissapoint.
A band doing an album based on Lord of the rings: how cool is that?
Just perfect
It isn't quite LotR, just so that you know
Silmarillion :-)
its about the fck epic silmarillion, the lord of the rings are boring vs silmarillion

This is one of the best shows ever recorded. The crowd is on fire, they play like holy shit and everything is perfect
My wolf heard this song and became a Fenrir.
2:40
shit
never thought he would ever do it original pitch live
OMG
This was the first Blind Guardian song i ever heard and it is still awesome every time I hear it.
...his voice gives me the chills!!!
mirror mirror on the waaaaall !!!!! dat chorus MAAAAN !!!!
Best concert ive been to
kevin deasy You are realy, realy lucky! In my opinion that was the best live concert ever....

what a great feeling to hear thousands of people singing along this song!!!
The Chorus of the songs of this band are just hymns! It's amazing!
I still cry singing it.
The songs on this album make so much more sense once you have read the Silmarillion.
Nathaniel Hellman Yea, I love how so many power metal bands have put Middle Earth to music.
FreaperFTW It is awesome
+Nathaniel Hellman Is it any good?
TimTamTheTurtleMan The Silmarillion is amazing. Be aware though it read more like a history book than a novel.
Nathaniel Hellman Cool, I love lotr so I should give it a go.
uma das melhores musicas de power metal.....
unbelievable Live Performance.
Love this song!!!
magico, electrico, magnetico, en esencia Blind Guardian en estado puro.
A melhor música na minha opinião porque foi com essa que conheci a banda. \o/
perfeita demais😍👏
this has always been one of my favorite songs and it will ever be one of my favorite songs
So much energy in their performance that it's insane! Love those guys!
yeah bro..
i saw them live yesterday..i cant believe that hansi still has the same godish voice live after all these years he is singing.when valhalla came in we were all singing for extra 4 minutes Valhaaallaaaaa deliverance hahaha it was so awesome..hansi said Absolutely fucking amazing.i truly believe that they had to see such a good live for a long time :) Long live Blind Guardian \m/
Νταξ...αυτά είναι. Oldie but a goodie.
Όχι απλά ...goodie...Bestie θα έλεγα !!
This whole concert is SOOO EPIC!! Love to watch that DVD again and again!!!! Blind Guardian RUUUULEZ!!!!!!!!!
i love this band so much!
Hansi is the best vocalist in any metal band ever.
While not untrue, to be fair, this is the best live recording of him.
Im late, but he is actually outclassed by attila dorn
Andrea R Naaaah, i love both and don‘t wanna compare them. Each has his unique style.

Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain
It lies unknown
The land of mine
A hidden gate
To save us from the shadow fall
The lord of water spoke
In the silence
Words of wisdom
I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That tomorrows bears insanity
Gone's the wisdom
Of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe
Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it
Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We're lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames
Alone
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Even though
The storm calmed down
The bitter end
Is just a matter of time
Shall we dare the dragon
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
Our hearts
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
This is beyond epic!!! an infinity of cheers for Blind Guardian!!!!
love this song. makes you feel good in a way
Better live mix ever
Lets not forget Scandanavian Nu metal, Vegetarian Progressive Grindcore, Super Black Metal, and Lounge.
Sentinal234 ?
Pick the most f*ck off what you can!
(and lets not forget necropost metal)
This is beyond epic. Been only to two BG concerts but man how much they rock!
Fantastic band!!
Pretty certain the AWESOMNESS of this song would have destroyed the ring.
My God, almost ten years ago. Time pass like an arrow.
Such a great singer!
One of their best songs and lives \m/
Dando... Mirror Mirror
mophóbics
Nice

malakoisando por aí kkkkk
Bandido Ilícito identificado com sucesso!
gostei mais desta versão ao vivo do que a do estúdio
São os Deuses mano.
I just see in my mind how Valar dancing somewhere in the forest to this music. 2:16 - this is young Mairon part.
This is absolutely incredible.. what an atmosphere, can't wait to see BG live someday!!
they rock out !! they're are the best
3:52 to 4:24
Proof it were ever needed that Hansi is the best singer ever!
\,,/ Hail to the bards of METAL! \,,/

Saudades do tempo que isso não era infestado por inscritos de YT teen, pelo menos tão curtindo musica boa
Prismatta E no que os comentários afetam a música ?
I discovered Hansi from Avantasia, yeah a power metal fan who haven’t listened to Blind Guardian (I should be shot) since discovering him I can’t get enough of these and “demons and wizards” what a voice! So unique! Music is constant entertainment! Great band!!!!
great! love this song
Vim pelo cara do mirror mirror vulgo mophobics dando boura
Damn I love Andre Olbrich (don't remember the spelling), don't think he played rhythm for a second on the nightfall album:)

This band is amazing! Wow what a performance!
Around 3:40 look at Hansi's eyes lol !
2:10 anyone that plays path of exile listening to this will know how annoying that sound is
