Nightwish Live @ Tampere - The Greatest Show On Earth | REACTION

[@Schnorgldorf]

"Scientific facts presented artistically" is a really good way to put what happened here. That's good dude. You nailed that.

[@jeffk1482]

IKR?!? I loved that as soon as I heard it.

[@mike28003]

That's why they call it the theory of evolution

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Except that "facts" are changing. And much of the scientific community is doubting the big bang altogether. If one wants to equate this artistic beauty to scientific beliefs, it works a little better 😉 I just wish he wouldn't talk over everything.

You reply is so right and yet so wrong at the same time, it is kinda hilarious xD

[@Rosannasfriend]

"She can do every kind of voice". Ain't that the truth!

[@des_o7935]

Richard Dawkins was doing the voiceovers. The whole album Endless Forms Most Beautiful is based on the his writings. They just released a live Bluray and there are a few videos for it. Check out Elan live in Buenos Aires, 2018.

[@Mu77ley]

Not only Dawkins' writings. The final spoken part is from the very last paragraph of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of the Species.

[@Darlantan1]

@@Mu77ley This is correct, however it's very fitting that Dawkins recites it, considering he quotes it himself in his book, The Greatest Show On Earth ;)

"This performance is going to impact me for the rest of my life". Such a meaningful statement. That's what Nightwish does. The works of art that they perform have impacted my life since '96 and will continue to do so for the rest of it. I'm so happy that they have Floor. She IS the power.

[@brykel8991]

Love your Floor reactions-I like to count how many "Yes Mams" she can get out of you! So glad you appreciate the entire artistic experience that is Nightwish!

[@agustinmanyari]

thank you for your reaction man! it was great! You really feel Nightwish soul!

[@Thorgrim247]

Great reaction video Nephi. You are so much fun to watch as you discover new Nightwish masterpieces. This is a truly unique song. Imagine presenting the concept to your band mates that you intend to tell a 4.6 billion year story in a twenty one minute song. How would a writer even approach that idea? Such a grand concept. This song in my opinion goes beyond just music. It enters the realm of musical theater and takes it to the level of performance art. Epic in every way! Till next time. Peace.

[@casztc9874]

Thank you for taking in this grand song till the end with all the credits! Richard Dawkins is the one speaking those wonderful words inbetween and at the end. And yes. With this song it's accomplished to combine scientific facts with art in a whole new way, on a whole new level. Thanks for reacting. You really were transfixed by this performance, I'm glad :)

[@mariusr.6179]

I was there at the front! It was amazing!

Ha ha, Floor says "sing with us!", And then proceeds to sing higher than most people ever could! Ha ha ha.

[@ArumesYT]

So you sing with her one octave lower. As a male I only have to ditch that single octave to be able to sing with her. After all she's not at the top of her own reach in that final chorus.

'this dude' is Richard Dawkins, at the Wembley performance he actually comes on stage and delivers that final part. I love watching people react to this song, seeing which bits they catch straight away and which parts elude them at first. This is a performance you'll need to see a few more times and preferably with some lyrics at hand to get the full impact. But kudos for watching it through to the very end, we love it when reactors do that :) A lot of reactors stop at the credits, and I can't really blame them, the song does look finished lol.

[@rodriggi12]

I remember the first time I heard a Nightwish song, it was about 12 years ago, I didn't understand anything! Don't make sense for me the metal music with females voices lirical and sweets, orchestral sounds, classical music etc. years later I heard Nightwish music again ... and well, I fell in love with everything about them , the concept, the music, lyrics it is really beautiful what symphonic metal does 🤘🙌🖤

[@fdsannie]

Nightwish music gets to your heart and soul. I know how you feel. You are not the only one that is left speechless by this song. It would be nice if people would take this song feel it and share the feelings from it. Thank you so much for doing this masterpiece and not ending it until it was done. The music then is so beautiful. Tuomas is the composer and lyric writer for 95% of their music. Thanks again..... :-)

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

Most incredible performance I've ever seen. Greatest Show On Earth indeed.🤘👍

[@edudario1974]

One great thing about this song is that perhaps you don't understand many things while listening to it the first time. I mean, you can understand the words but perhaps you don't know the concept behind them. You can understand the word L.U.C.A but perhaps you don't understand what it means. You can listen to "goldilocks zone " but perhaps you think of something completely different. The great thing about this song is studying it, after listening to it. You start "googleing" or you read a comment somewhere in KZbin where somebody explains every word. After thar you realize that you learnt a lot of interesting new things about such an important issue as our origin is. One of the big questions of human kind, " where do we come from ? ". So I have to thank this song and mr. Holopainen for giving me some extra knowledge about that fascinating question. This song is an important thing for us, for mankind.

[@gundalfthelost1624]

If the end of this video doesn't give you an idea of how big Nightwish is in Finland, well nothing will :)

[@Dangerousefck99]

I have to comment on this because your reaction was so awesome and you seem so intelligent. I think it's amazing how well you understand the music itself. You know what the song is about even before you hear the lyrics. And you could understand a lot of the symbolism immediately. I admire how two musically talented (I suppose you are also musically talented) can understand each other without words, just through the music.

The "end of a era" show, is a better performance, better lead vocalist, better drummer. End of story!

[@stephensdygert7600]

@Phelan She's a average singer. A Third stringer who was hired for two reasons. She was great a memorizing lyrics. She cheap for the bands payroll. She will never be in the class of Tarja, Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar, Sarah Brightman, Charlotte Church, Jackie Evachio. Nightwish is a lousey band now. This new album is terrible. The band needs to get a better drummer. Lose this Troy guy(cancer to this band) Let Emppu play again. Add another guitarist. Go back to the era that never should of ended. Make peace with Tarja. Reform and be "born again" 1995-2006.

[@stephensdygert7600]

@Phelan That kind of thinking comes from a reprobate mind. Tarja is, and always will be the soul and spirit of Nightwish. You don't fire the greatest female Rock singer in the world. Its that simple.

[@stephensdygert7600]

@Phelan Im just being honest. Like I said you have a reprobate mind on the subject. The name of this crummy album, should of been "For those who are about to 🎸 Rock" we despise you! The new album by Night-was!

[@stephensdygert7600]

[@jmetallover]

Richard Dawson's writings are the basis of the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful and truly highlight the Greatest Show on Earth. The music is intense, Floor runs the gamut of vocals and the voice-over leaves your head spinning with the the deep thoughts of the universe and how lucky we are to be on this spec on the endless sea of that universe. The impact for me was the same as Carl Sagan's great quote when Voyager was leaving the solar system and took a picture of earth in a ray of light and he noted that on that spec everyone who had ever lived, loved, hated, every hero or coward that it was their place of existence...again a deep thought with a great impact. Loved your reaction as Nightwish is truly a band you experience especially LIVE, well done and they have moved many a person over the years.

[@ascensionenergetics85]

If you haven’t done Song of Myself live at Wacken 2013 yet, I think you’ll enjoy hearing how she uses her lower register, resonance & other cool vocal effects. Some awesome head banging in that one too. Gotta get Dark Chest of Winders live at Wembley on the list too 😉

Thanks and special thanks you looked it at the end! Funny thing, today you are second reactor (but different NW song) who call Nightwish as a super heroes... :D And yes, they are, they really are a super band, super talented musicians and together, wonder 6 :D Every detail, music, singing, fireworks, video screen behind, smoke. All support only on thing, that we (as listeners) will get most best experience! This was really like Greatest Show on Earth, as a experience. Emotional... Album version is 24min long. BUT when Tuomas was composing this, it was still 30min long!!! So he cut 6min away. But I must say, I would like to hear that full 30min song, even once... BTW, there is also "hidden" part, evolution of the music.tribal music, classical music, metal (Metallica, Emppu plays few notes from Enter the Sandman) and EDM. Try to listen it once more, if you can hear it...

Nightwish makes it geniously spot on without being over doing.. just as it all should be as it is performed! Grandious and feet on the ground at the same time. Love it! My usual ”cup of tea” is trance, emotional electronic music, but with clean voices and sounds of Nightwish I can get into emotional roller coaster! Positive vibes and floorgasms... Loving it from bottom of my soul........

The narrator is Richard Dawkins and that last quote was from Charles Darwin 😉 Also, Marko Hietala (the bassist and male vocalist) recently released his first solo album in Finnish and will be releasing the English version soon (the first single video “Stones” was just released about a week ago) and I highly recommend it! If you’re familiar with progressive or “prog rock” you’ll understand why Marko says the album is “hard prog” 👍 If you want to have some real fun with The Greatest Show on Earth, listen to it just before and after visiting a great natural history museum 😎 I really love a few things in this song. I love the transitions as it’s really musical theater with several acts, I love the way it revels in and celebrates the awesome beauty and wonder of the universe, life, and the fact that we get to enjoy a part of it. I love the celebration of music through the ages with classical and a few measures of Enter Sandman from Metallica 🤘 This is one of my favorite songs for driving through dawn or dusk (I’m a professional long haul trucker). Thanks again for another great reaction 😁 And if you enjoyed this, you really should check out Shudder Before the Beautiful, Every Form Most Beautiful, My Walden, Élan, and Alpenglow 😉 All are from the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful and can be found live on KZbin from their Wembly and Tampere concerts 😊 Thanks again and please keep making great videos 👍

That's what makes these songs so great, they have deep meaning, powerful messages and many layers. That combined with multiple instruments and talented singers makes them stand out so much. It's almost insane how talented people are in this band.

hello Nephi, thank you for your reaction - I've been waiting for some time for you to finally dare to approach "the greatest Show on Earth". Yes - it's about the genesis of the universe and the earth - as always masterfully composed by Tuomas and realized by Nightwish. It's incredible how much potential this group has and I'm sure now - as they grow together more and more - there will still be a lot to expect that we can't even imagine today. The new album is in the final mixing process - it's going longer than expected and there have been many more layers recorded than the studio software can handle. It had to be improvised again - I know that from internal sources. I especially want to thank you for your attention to the "credits" as well - it contains the most important statements about this composition - you are one of the few (at least to those who have published reaction videos) who seem to me to take this into account.

[@rolfschonmuller8484]

@@PeaceweaponPT I wouldn't mind... but then it wouldn't be for the stage anymore - the piece here was already borderline, because it was just too long and too complex to captivate the audience. Rumours say that Tuomas apparently got inspired by the series "black Mirror" this time - I don't know the series, so I can't say anything about it. I only saw some photos from the video shoot - and it was obviously about pollution... all in all it seems to be very interesting again.

@@rolfschonmuller8484 Oh wow, Black Mirror was an inspiration for the new album???? That's hella interesting! FYI, Black Mirror is a Netflix original, and it's damn good.

"Black Mirror" is a reference to the black reflective screens we're always gazing into, and reference also to a "mirror on society".

And a subscriber to you! Because that was one of the most lovely reactions i've seen to this song and you actually understood what was going on as it was happening. As well as not talking over prof. Dawkins's parts as many youtubers do. Thank you, you made my day!

Anyone to notice the double Easter eggs Bach + Metallica’s Enter Sandman ?

[@MrNikolidas]

After Bach was a banjo, and after Enter Sandman was a techno drum beat. Fittingly, the evolution of music.
