Justin Hayward thats all you need to know

[@Eddooby]

I saw him do the show last week, and he just made it look so effortless, he was incredible

[@Turbomgzt]

During covid, this song kept me going. Now it makes me weep for lost ones.

[@a.j.hamler764]

I've been a fan of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds a bit longer than most -- I received a pre-release copy at a radio station where I worked in 1978 and have loved it ever since. Been a lot of years, but I'm finally getting to see the show! My wife and I are traveling from the U.S. to attend the Birmingham show in March, and can't wait!

[@DaughterofTheKing960]

OMG...😱 I HATE YOU!!! JUST KIDDING!!! 😂😂😂 CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO!!! THAT IS SOOOO FANTASTIC!!! HAVE A TOTALLY FANTASTIC TIME!!! PLEASE MAKE SOME GREAT VIDEOS TO POST.👏👏👏👏💖💞💖💞😃

The Artilleryman Hit that high note like there was no tomorrow at 1:22

[@andrewhughes9222]

Saw this at Ovo Hydro, Glasgow at the weekend, Saturday 2nd April, absolutely mesmerizing. A superb night.

[@paulchipperfield492]

Music teacher introduced this to me by playing it in class when i was 11. My son is now 11 and i've introduced it to him. He loves it like i do. Tickets booked for the O2 London for the 9th April. 40 years since i first heard the album and i'm so looking forward to the show.

[@catherinepayton4772]

Just been to see this in Glasgow last night. It’s truly phenomenal you won’t be disappointed. I’m still smiling about having the priveledge of seeing Jeff and Justin last night .

[@lexxit5860]

me too!! Cant wait! Love WOTW 💖🎶

[@cherylgregg5453]

Wonderful!!!! Glad to see Justin is back.

[@kevinlangston8465]

I first heard Jeff Wayne's War of the World in Jan 1979 when I joined the RAF. I have been a staunch fan ever since. Love the new addition, it merges in well in the second half and completes and compliments the old album. We'll done Jeff and all.

[@tomlewis4888]

Fingers crossed for 2023!!! Best night ever with my family

[@cameronclark6035]

not gonna lie, I teared up when they sung this live... it works so well during WOTW, but also in real life coming out of the pandemic

[@stevenf1069]

Saw this at the AO in Manchester 1st April, Jeff is a legend, I've waited long time to see this, and it definitely paid off

[@Simon-ui6db]

I do hope Jeff does another UK tour as I still need to get to one of these shows.

[@TANG3RINE95]

Same!

[@jdswenson5813]

Excellent! I have loved this album since I had it on 8-track. I can only wish that someday I can see this show in person.

[@x15galmichelleevans]

Yes, I am with you there. Really wish it would be brought to the United States at some point.

[@homer1033]

Perfect song with Perfect Lyrics , cardiff here we come.

[@brunobucciarati4169]

A fitting end to such an amazing story, and a fantastic song at the same time

[@katiekay6317]

We've booked for April, it's such a wonderful show and 'Life Begins Again' is such an appropriate song after the difficult time we've all had. Brilliant cast, amazing music - what more can you ask for?

War fo the world jeff wayne 2022 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@tonysantiago255]

I was so happy to see that Jeff Wayne restored this song to the ending of the show. Although it never got over to the United States, I've watched probably every KZbin video from every production and bought the bluray from Universal. I just re-watched it again in fact. I always felt that 'Life Begins Again' gave the audience a feeling of triumphing over adversity and ended the show on an uplifting, hopeful note. Glad to see back in. I'm not that far from NYC Jeff. Just sayin'.

[@Mel-hl1bb]

Went to the Leeds show, amazing! I loved this song at the end :-) so glad Justin Hayward was in the show :-)

[@fatherjasonworthley3]

Splendid!

[@nicksenkovs1525]

This reminds me of the what if every character George met in his journey survived

[@setvenharis]

I’ve been to every single Newcastle upon Tyne show from 2006 onwards and I’ll be there this April with my brother for this show!

[@GalaxyJazzGirl]

The background of the artilleryman has a “Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” feel.

[@haroldrottencock]

I live in North America, a heathen continent in which this album is barely known...even among fans of classic rock. For a while I thought I was suffering from the Mandela Effect, and had imagined those beaten up old cassettes at my parents' house.

[@mttripod]

So excited for 2022 to see your song #jeffwaynewaroftheworlds

[@johnpage4581]

As a kid at school in the50s our teacher read this in weekly instalments, really thought it was great,and looking forward to the 02 in April.
