Nightwish - "The Greatest Show On Earth" | Episode 8 | This is TRULY a MASTERPIECE!!!

[@rscossu69]

Best ever

[@avanae]

I'd rather see your reaction, joy and happiness then you talk and miss something important, cause so much is happening here! My fav part of the song is toolmaker, so when the human era beginns. It is depressing thought that the 1st part of the song was so peaceful and since the moment that humans era came, all the fire and distruction happens. the progression is so well shown though! I love i! And the moment with all those music easter eggs with Bach, Metallica and Enter Sandman etc. We were here moment is always emotional for me, and then Dawkins' words - so impactful... I can't tell you how many times I have watched their live performance of this song and i am always crying at the end. Especially in this version, where Prof. Dawkins is there in person, speaking tothe crowd, and seeing their faces and understanding of his words and the whole song...

[@ev.junior]

I've known Nightwish for at least twenty years and being an old thrash metal drummer since the 80's, many times I was never interested in listening to this wonderful band. A few days ago I decided it was time to hear something from the band, in my mind there was always that "operatic" voice of Tarja that bothered me. I had known Floor since the days of After Forever and his band didn't attract my attention either. I chose to listen to "Ghost Love Score" and since then I can't contain my emotion... I dove headfirst into the world of Nightwish and when I arrived at "The Greatest Show on Earth", my reaction was the same as yours, I was in disbelief, and when Richard Dawkins himself came on stage, I collapsed for good! Oh God, why did it take me so long...

[@marbenthesaffa]

Ahh man we are on the same page there. Can't believe I only discovered them recently. So glad I did though, they really are amazing! Thanks for the comment, much appreciated!! 🤘🤘✌️🙏

The guitarist in the beginning was Troy, not Emppu. Troy also sings and plays any instrument he wants, during the opening it was guitar and Uilleann pipes. You are so right, it is a masterpiece! WE WERE HERE❣️

Don't worry my friend you're not the only one who got tears in their eyes. It just shows you how Nightwish can affect people. I told you they'd send you to the other side of the universe

Tampere!!! you do not know what you are missing. The guitar part was Troy not Empuu. And at the end ... your face ... priceless. The kind of face you make when you do not know what to do with your life anymore. That's what Nightwish does to me. On hte First Of August i am attending their concert. So hyped about it!

For yourself, you should also listen to this song at tampere in 2015, absolutely brilliant.

There is no greater feeling of unity when standing in the crowds of a NW concert & singing in unison “We Were Here!” You feel magically one with the NW Army, one with the band & somehow at that moment one with humanity, it’s overwhelming.

We were all emotional too. That's fine! Just enjoy the journey. We were here anyway.

[@davidphillips4706]

Good call waiting on The Poet and the Pendulum, to me it's their best song, but it is an emotional journey. I like to just put it on, close my and enjoy the ride. The band is amazing, and Floor is the icing on the cake, her voice.....it just...well, it's hard to describe, it just grabs you and holds on. Had you told me a year ago I would be listening to a Metal band I would have called you crazy.....now the of the stuff I used to listen to is just music. Nightwish makes me happy....every song....there are no bad songs.

Between Wembley and Tampere there is no wrong choice. For me this has the slightly better sound and Tampere the significantly better visuals, but I think sound is more important, so they end up about even. The important thing, Marben, is to watch and listen to both! Twice the epicness! Peace.

They are playing a shortened version without as long an intro in their current concerts.

If Tuomas would have chosen some other genre to make music, like if he would've gone to Hollywood, he could make his name written next to John Williams, Ennio Morricone and such. We're so lucky to have a musician like him in the metal music genre. He's an incredible composer. And I believe this is the first time you seen Troy. Well, you're gonna love him. :) Once again it was a great reaction. Really enjoyed it.

In my opinion, the greatest composition of my lifetime, and I'm 68. Tuomas has an understanding of the universe that few can measure. The Tampere version is my personal favorite, and as it differs in several meaningful ways, I highly recommend watching it as well. I feel people who listen to this and understand the lyrics should get college credit for Evolutionary Science. Thanks for sharing your enlightenment with us.

Just to let you know those 6 notes Tuomas was rapidly playing stands for carbon since 6 stands for carbon on the periodic table.

And in the beginning of life all there was is carbon in space

[@bobgross8761]

Great reaction! In your journey to date, I believe this is your first time meeting Troy. He's a very gifted and versatile musician, and it was his electric guitar in the opening (not Emppu), played with a gadget called an e-bow. In that section, he was mimicking a wonderful cello part that is on the album and in other live performances of this song. I love how the switched it up here. You also saw him play his pipes a little later in the opening. There are several moments in this composition that always choke me up, starting with Floor's whispering of 'Us sleeping' and then the orchestral build in the final bow. It's simply an amazing composition, perfectly played by all. Thanks for the heartfelt reaction. On to #9!

[@erickvermeulen9734]

I love the version on the Tampere concert, but because of Richard Dawkins this version touches me a lot - love his books - and I think i will get me soon an E-bow. And I do not think that was the big bang - 4,6 billion years ago asteroids slammed into the new formed earth.

[@kentk2215]

WE WERE HERE!! Surprisingly, Tuomas said he wrote this song rather quickly, in a matter of a couple of days, but it took a solid 2 and half weeks to mix. It was originally over 30 minutes. The modern age of man section included excerpts from Dies Irae, Minuet in G major by Christian Petzold, Toccata and Fugue in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach and Enter Sandman by Metallica, the last of which you may have caught. This is definitely the most ambitious project Nightwish has ever done. Check out the Tampere version as well, some differences in their homeland and outdoors. There is still much, much Nightwish greatness to discover. P.S. congrats on making it on to Alex Terrible’s channel for most intense reactions to Doom 👍🏻

Tampere version is more spectacular but Wembley is a bit more emotional. Having Dawkins at the end is such a bonus. Extraordinary "song" no mater the gig.

[@rnowak85]

While both Wembley and Tampere are great have to admit I always feel a little disappointed when it is Wembley. Glad you watched both. For me the fireworks, Troy's low whistle instead of the e-bow, Floor walking out on stage into the crowd, her outfit, it is just so much more epic. Kind of like Ghost Love Score at Wacken vs Buenos Aries in 2012. Love both but prefer the more epic performance. I know people say that the audio is better at Wembley but they are so close I have never noticed it. I do think the spoken word section in the outro at Tampere is higher in the mix and easier to hear and understand. Dawkins walking out on stage does nothing for me. Just my opinion and to each, their own.

[@CosMosArtistry2016]

Hay mate, great to see you back with Nightwish. Science has never been more sexy. I'm emotional watching, not just because of Nightwish but also your reactions. Expectation, wonder, pure delight, excitement, it's all there to see. Troy is pure genius, he sings and plays so many instruments. Keep your journey going and work up to Hellfest 2022.

The deep meaning of those spoken word passages really smacks me right into a reality of gratitude. Every ife has its pains and hardships...but to be reminded in this way, by these words...that I'm still lucky to be here...moves me to tears (ok, I legit SOB!) every single time!

The song is divided into 5 segments. The first is labeled 4.6, as in 4.6 billion years, which is the age of the Earth and the solar system. The Big Bang was 14 billion years ago, so the the beginning of the song is more like the early bombardment of Earth by comets, meteors, asteroids ,etc. Yes, that riff that you gave a double take to was Metallica's Enter Sandman. It was preceded by other pieces of music including one by J.S. Bach, and then followed by a piece of EDM. The Evolution of music. Research isn't necessary to enjoy this song, but doing so makes the song more interesting. Nice Job. 🤘🤘

You are ready to hear the poet and the pendulum, when you know that you aren’t

[@marbenthesaffa]

I am certainly not quite ready.. I don't think🤣🤣🤘🙏

[@ahmedalgabsi]

You tricked me really good lad lol Let's go to their next Wembly show together 😁

[@marbenthesaffa]

Haha my apologies! 🤣 I'm there like a bear!!! Let's do it! 😁🤣🤘🙏

OK, you get to see Dawkins here, but the best version of this is the show in Tampere, Finland.

[@JWNanaimo]

This is an epic performance and I will say nobody would be offended if you did a reaction to live at Tampere version as well😉…just sayin’👍

Great review of The Greatest Song? Ever Composed? 😀

[@marbenthesaffa]

Thanks Hans! This is definitely among the greatest composed song I've had the pleasure of listening to! 🤘✌️🙏

Hey Marben, Do you have "Master Passion Greed" on your list? If not, you may want to add it. A heavy banger with Marko @ vocals. This is what Nightwish sounds like when they're angry.

[@marbenthesaffa]

I don't actually but now I do, thank you! 🙏🙏🤘

[@MrGeirPaulsen]

And next = Buenos Aires 2018.... Dead Boys Poem... Slaying the Dreamer... 10th Man Down!

[@jaskau2462]

"OPUS PERFECTUM", män. Opus Perfectum, huh? = "The Greatest Show On Earth" 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 💯 💥

[@jpdemer5]

The spoken bit at the end, delivered by Dawkins, is actually the words of Charles Darwin - the closing lines of "On the Origin of Species".

[@TomBagwell]

Loved your reaction! Please, though, watch at least the opening section at Tampere. You won't regret it.

[@marbenthesaffa]

Thanks Tom, much appreciated! I did watch it and it was awesome to say the least!🙏🙏🙏🤘
