This is like the Avengers of metal assembling

[@todpet313]

Warning! Warning! Talent overload! Talent overload!

[@allandriver2066]

2 x Jansens are the seventh sign!

[@RozinisEziukas]

Karmik influence too much, gonna love the next live too now

[@Rybore13]

Marcela is absolutely insane all throughout this concert. Wish she was more recognized for her talent

[@fuzzo73]

What a finale, the sheer number of world class singers all on stage at the same time.

[@jannepellonpaa]

Really irresponsible of Arjen to amass that much talent on stage at the same time. Had they squeezed in just a bit tighter, a black hole would have formed.

[@js0988]

Maybe with an equal number of Rappers, but not with these since the amount of ego is zero.

[@metalmike3780]

@@js0988 well rappers dont have talent so it will balance out, then again their ego will probably create something worse then a black hole

Yea, they had to search for a stadiums, not concert halls

[@EmanueleCorsi]

the funny faces of the guitarist are priceless, throughout the whole concert :)

Holy hell, Marko, Hansi and the Jansen sisters on the same stage!!!

[@apveening]

Don't forget Anneke van Giersbergen

[@georgiosrinakakis934]

Jansen girls are so talented creatures! What a live! It should be an amazing feeling be there!

[@023achilles]

Come for Floor, stay for Marcela Bovio? Not a comment on their abilities, a comment on Marcela really bringing it on this song. She helped compose the harmonies? Honestly, everyone does a kickass job.

[@retohofmann5878]

Maggy Luyten...my goodnes...had to google her...never heard of...she is unbelievable! What a gift!

[@ianknowles8934]

Everytime it brings a tear to my eyes at the end. Amazing talent right there !

[@simonadams8787]

Now THAT is how to end a show.....................

[@RozinisEziukas]

When you have more vocalists than instruments, you're doing something special

[@kitko33]

This is, by far, the highest talent concentration on a stage since forever.

[@northof4912]

Has ever such concentration of musical talent and expertise ever been amassed?

[@oomg1001]

[@normanvannorden]

I was there that night. It still brings tears to my eyes watching this podium full of talent.

[@quorthon1204]

The total amount of talent in the same stage is just unmeasurable

[@Eerielai]

Best metal show ever produced, imo.

[@sambustos9019]

All I hear trough the end of the song is Marcelita Bovio's voice even when everybody else is singing. Such a strong, powerful and beautiful voice!!! 🖤❤️🖤🤘

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

Your wish is the father of your thought

[@jpsother1183]

and Marko. The two burn through. Marcela for being so bright and out front and still going full bore, and Marko has this slight difference that comes past everyone most of the time.

[@shellderp]

This makes me so happy to watch. If they ever do this again I'm flying from Canada, absolutely worth it

[@jeronymusv4558]

Well, well. More than a few quality musicians are gathered on that stage. :=)

[@marcelo.bassalo]

His Russell Allen impression is on point during the song. Props to the guy, difficult shoes to fill.

[@danoca1969]

I give them a like because I can't give them a heart, otherwise I would! they are wonderful

Never before had so much incredible talent shared a single podium.

[@Eloso3135]

So much talent all on one stage!!! My God!

[@OurTripDD]

My first Ayreon Album. I never heard of it. But the cover artwork blew me away!

[@JacobMinger]

This live show is basically a best of Ayreon and his side projects. It’s about as good an introduction that you’re gonna get honestly 😀

[@spinningjesus]

IT was literally one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[@robcnp6757]

Omg, So fucking cool having the sisters sing together.

[@tzimiable]

Man. Marcela is quite small next to those giants, but I think her voice is the biggest

[@doosian76]

Yeah she and Mike on the theory of everything are something else , she got power that girl holy crap. Noora from battle beast and britney slayes are very powerful but marcela are my favorite .

[@islgrl292]

I am a Floor woman. No one out performs her, not that it should be a contest.

[@flashpeter625]

Marcela was ripping it for the whole 2 hours. Whenever there was a shot at the support trio, she's either headbanging or summoning some mad notes. I think she also co-authored or co-arranged some of the vocal parts. And in this last song, she clearly did not feel like holding back. Outstanding contribution to the show.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

Your fans-wish is the father of your thought, but reality is that the voice of Marcela (great as she is) is not separately discernable in this recording. There is a reason why the sisters Jansen, and especially Floor, are world famous, and Marcella Bovio is only know in the much smaller circle of Ayreon / Star One and Mayan adepts

[@maleldil1]

@@rientsdijkstra4266, you and I must be listening to different recordings. Marcela's voice is easily the most discernible out of all of them. You speak of the Jensen sisters, but I can barely hear Irene.

[@jamesesparza6893]

wander if its common knowledge this song is based off of a Kurt Russel lead SciFi movie. "I have finally found the Key, to chart the course to the other side of the galaxy." Daniel Jackson is recruited to help the military unlock the star gate which allows a team of soldiers to step through a wormhole known, as the star gate to another location in the galaxy. "I need to find the seventh sign carved into stone of an ancient time." The team lead by Kurt Russel's Colonel O'Neil realize they cannot get back without the seventh sign completing the combination to unlock the star gate and get them back to earth. "And Ra will live forever, he draws from his powers from afar, builds a gateway to the star" Ra traveled from earth after taking many humans and poses as a God on this new planet as he forces them into servitude and worship. "Unaware of a common fate we disappear through the ancient gate, we arrive in a desert land, set a camp in a burning sand." Basically recapping the journey so far as the stranded team of soldiers sets up a base at pyramid the star gate they came through was located in. "Behold, a thousand slaves Mining ores in the planet's caves They give us shelter from the storm Then Ra appears in a human form." Ra becomes aware of these trange visitors from the gate as the soldiers wander and are shelter in slave camps of those who serve Ra. Ra begins his retaliation against them by sending his men to assault the makeshift base at the pyramid where many soldiers die and are captured. "A tall ship descends from the sky Lasers flare and many men die A bloody battle has begun We must destroy this 'king of the sun'" Third act of the movie, the soldiers and those slaves that will stand with them begin the fight for they're lives against Ra. "We have found the seventh sign Down in the catacombs When the seven points align They will lead us all back home" Deep within the catacombs of the pyramid they find the missing sign allowing them to complete the permutation of solar symbols and return to earth through the star gate. Than a couple years later Richard Dean Anderson would become the new Colonel O'Neil as he leads the first team of what will be branded the Star Gate project, and he and his men will go on magnificent adventures through the galaxy, fighting against the evil false Gods known who enslave humanity across uncharted space.

I imagine they have a standing invitation to collaborate with Arjen, but sometimes with big projects like these things just don't work out due to scheduling conflicts and such

[@metermannen559]

Some people keep carrying on about Marcella Bovio being "the best" or "most powerfull" singer in this group. Now I really like Marcella's voice. However, what you should keep in mind is that for Marcella this was a big event, and she gave it her all. For others, like Floor Jansen, this was just another collab in a busy agenda with many other engagements with Nighwish, Northward, etc. So where Marcella was blasting at full tilt, singers like Floor will probably have taken it a bit more easily and where more or less coasting, so to say. So to draw conclusions about relative power or ability only the basis of only this one piece of community singing seems a both a bit misplaced and a bit desperate (on the part of the fans of mrs Bovio) to me.

[@undericesinger]

They should have ended the show covering "No World Order" and making fun of the eye of Ra and the Catholic all seeing eye.
