I hear you guys! I can do a reaction to the Tampere performance too! Didn’t know there was a “superior” performance so thanks for letting me know!
As a secular non-believer this sort of music that celebrates this sort of awe is something that we are sorely missing. Which is strange considering the awe that thinking about the universe and nature and life and it's constant evolution can inspire. So I think that Nightwish and Tuomas, who writes their music, has done us an immense favour when writing this piece that accurately portraits the awe one feels about life and evolution 🙏
The keyboarder is Tuomas, the metal Mozart who writes almost all of the songs.
So much talent and charisma on stage. They all came down to Midgard to give us a glimpse of eternity before we all crawl back to our oblivion.
Yes, the person at the end is the narrator on record. It is Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist whose book inspired the album. So many people will tell you that this is the wrong version. So many people will tell you that this is the best version. (I prefer the Wembley version - it has Richard Dawkins and Troy playing e-bow). There is no right version and no wrong version. Definitely worth watching the Tampere version. Glad you're back and feeling better.
Reason I love Nightwish, not just stellar music and vocals, but they put on a hell of a show and tell messages in their tunes, saw them live in Minneapolis last year, small venue, but amazing show!!! ...by the way, you'd rock cosplaying as Floor ;)
Every time I see this I am amazed at more that 12,000 screaming metal heads going completely silent to listen to Professor Dawkins.
I'm somewhat jealous of you for this discovery. You've so throughoutly enjoyed yourself while still only scratching the surface of the song as far as the actual content is considered. Just the same way the individual musicality and vocal performances shine in Nightwish so does the lyrical content and that's something you can start to unpack slowly over time. There's just as much going on in the lyrics and the structures and everything, it's really a product of love and passion all the way through. You're very correct on the detail when you pointed out that they must have the most talented drummers ever, that's quite true. Jukka was the 1st drummer and Kai the 2nd, both of them are (or were) at the top of their craft and they're very respected internationally as masters of rock drumming. Overall this era of Nightwish from 2013 to 2015 really seems like peak Nightwish and I don't know how it can be surpassed anymore.
Can't go wrong with Nightwish.
I just imagine the conversation between Tuomas and Richard Dawkins... "Hey, we're giving a concert in London. Want to read your quotes live?" - "Ok, when and where?" - ", in the Wembley Arena" - "WTF - how many people are you expecting?!" - "oh, 30k or so" - "...!"
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."
There is no wrong version of any Nightwish song to react to, they are all incredible.
Tuomas’s masterpiece! Metal Mozart!🤘🎸
Congratulations on behalf of the French Division of the Nightwish Army: great reaction. And yes, this is a very different level of music and understanding. Thank you for sharing!
Welcome back Stacey. TGSOE is definitely up there with Stairway To Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody as the greatest metal songs of all time. Tuomas is an orchestral genius
Kai is a BEAST on the drums🤘🤘🤘
The man at the end is Richard Dawkins. He wrote the book called "The Greatest Show on Earth" which is about the evolution of life on earth. He is also the voice you hear in the recordings in the song. The song takes you on a journey from the birth of the universe, to the birth of our planet, the beginning of life on our planet all the way through to the modern humans and our impact on the earth. It describes both the beauty and the flaws of humanity. I love the line "he had a dream to understand a single grain of sand". What a beautiful way to encapsulate humanity's curiosity and to show how we can find beauty and meaning in something as simple as a grain of sand. How incredibly lucky we are to have won the lottery of birth against all odds and be a part of the greatest show on Earth.
Great reaction as always, Stacey. If you love Marco you really need to check out "Nightwish - High Hopes (End Of An Era)". It's a tribute to Pink Floyds song and Marco is the singer.
