Imagine going to a record producer in the U.S. and saying, "we want to do a 21 minute song about evolution". This is why I listen to European and Japanese bands.

[@helli0n824]

the demo had 90 minutes ...

[@MycontentisgoldJerryGold]

Only topped by RUSH doing a 28 minute song about black holes and ancient gods, split into two "books" and parts of two albums.

[@timrockman7]

American or Hollywood music is infested and controlled by dark forces, Performers and bands are elevated and promoted to confuse, pervert, and spiritually weaken Western society, in my opinion.

[@fredvankempen2177]

Imagine driving down the highway in the U.S. and some radio station actually starts playing this. How many cars will you see pulling over and park? :)

[@randomman4938]

Remember this is the final song of a 2 hour, 17 song set. And Floor was still killing it. as was everyone in the band.

[@Klojum]

Dragging a whole Symphony Orchestra along during NW tours is too costly and too complex, so backing tracks it is. And as always: Floor: "Enter Luca" Marko: "Enter Ionia" Emppu: "Enter Sandman"

[@LenaDee666]

Nightwish is a dish served best LIVE

[@alanfoster6589]

In addition to his music, when I heard the lyric "the tapestry of chemistry", was when I realized that Tuomas was also a poet. Writing in a second language, too.

[@05smaugthegolden]

the writing in the garden leads us to the mother of all - so beautiful a description of biology and evolution: the fixed laws of gravity draw the newborns around the fire - are the new planets around the sun of course

[@lifeonshine5055]

"Goldilock zone. She has a tale to tell". Like most of us remember the children fairytale "Goldilock" was about a little girl, three bears and three soup bowls in the bear nest. The girl tasted the first soup and it was too hot. Then she tasted the 2nd soup and it was too cold. The 3rd one was just about the right temperature...... Wow! Think of the Sun and planets near it? What planet is the 3rd one? Earth of course. And how about planets more near to the Sun? Too hot... And planets after Earth? Too cold.... Planet Earth (She) and all life before us and after us just happens to be trapped in the right distance from the Sun to make life possible.

[@riittasihvonen2011]

"Poet And The Pendulum" reflects Tuomas' feelings about all the drama in the band that happened in the year, 2005

[@damienmaynard8892]

and the Orchestration is amazing!

[@randomman4938]

Nightwish with Floor on vocals is just so, so freaking good! I listen to them nearly every day.

[@hyp77]

Floor Jansen is the best female vocalist ever. No one can do as she does, change between vocal styles etc.

[@willytee585]

I concur 100%👍

[@billtbodger]

Only Nightwish could produce a song so grand and broad as to be about life and evolution, based to some degree on Sir Richard Dawkins book, The Greatest Show on Earth, but then to get Sir Richard to narrate the song, then for this show to do the final piece live. I have seen Nightwish live and they really are that good!!

[@kevinturner3997]

I went to see Nightwish live in Nov 2022 in Birmingham UK, it was the best night of my life. I've seen many many top bands and non compare.

[@FrankWirth-ij4rq]

"Sahara" "Live at Tampa Bay is fantastic. Smaller venue you get a real "Band" feel. Floor is dancing like a Snake.

[@clivematthews5296]

This whole concert was amazing. It included all three of Tuomas's masterworks, The Poet and the Pendulum, Ghost Love Score and this The Greatest Show on Earth. The narrator is Professor Richard Dawkins. The recorded spoken pieces were quotes from his book. The final quote he spoke on stage was from Charles Darwin.

[@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614]

Great reaction! (The Tampere 2015 version even more spectacular, with real fireworks initiated by the keyboard player (Tuomas Holopainen aka Metal Mozart)

[@islgrl292]

@@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614 I still like this the best, the audience is so excited about their scientist, Dawkins.

[@thatguyb4]

@@islgrl292 This is a typical blunder by the nightwish fans. Tampere is way better, but this gets recommended because of some personal aspect. Next they will recommend Yours is an Empty Hope from that cruise ship... probably bc the person was there, even though f.e. the Wembley version is way more compelling including showing off Floor's growl qualities, which most people watching the cruise version don't realize until the last note.

[@Klojum]

@@thatguyb4 The problem with "Yours is an Empty Hope" altogether is that Marko is always singing along with Floor's growls. If only he hadn't... ;-)

[@richardgoddard37]

I like the audio from Wembley better, but I do love fireworks too. I love both versions 😊

[@MortimerFolchert]

@@thatguyb4 At what point is Tampere better than Wembley? 🤨 They have worse Audio-Quality, worse Camera-Work, worse Stage-Presence/-Performance, no E-bow Troy duet with Tuomas in the Opening, Troy & Marko not giving it their all at the "Hunting-Part", no Troy & Marko harmonizing with Floor and there's no Richard Dawkins. ... But hey, they have Firework in broad Daylight, so 10/10 I guess? 😐

[@markholliday6448]

I was at this concert I have seen a lot of rock and metal band but the musical journey that Nightwish takes you in is amazing

[@randomman4938]

As I'm sure has been said many times already, but EVERY SONG from their 2013 performance at WACKEN Open Air in Germany is fantastic and total worth a watch/listen. That concert includes Ghost Love Score, which is the entry way song to many people to Nightwish over the last decade, including me. The Wembly concert from 2015 (same show as the song you are currently reacting to) is also an amazing song with some great songs. You guys will likely love " Yours is an empty Hope"

[@PhilippeFuhrer-i9d]

No encores with NW. Their outros are out of this world. The last tour had the band standing behind Floor who sang a small portion of As Astra (part of an instrumental b-sides of the last album) saw those in USA & Europe. It was very emotional. Must see band live at least once in your life

[@MikkoRantalainen]

NW sometimes does encores but those are part of the set and they will perform the encore songs after exiting the stage and returning no matter what the audience does. That said, I think they haven't bothered to do the exit stage - return to stage routine in a long time anymore.

[@kwtkold9302]

To be fair this one song is longer than some bands encores...

[@riittasihvonen2011]

After this grand composition you need to listen and watch Nightwish's 'The Poet and the Pendul😢um' - Live, at Wembley, 2015 .

[@gusata]

For sure!!!!

[@seattan]

Not only was this the last song of this show it was the last performance of their 2015 world tour supporting their album Endless Forms Most Beautiful.

[@aldopagani1981]

The greatest Floor on Earth ❤️❤❤

[@galadballcrusher8182]

Btw that part after the second verse of the part "the toolmaker" where they slow down and lower volume and reenter with a bit harpsichord and banjos then go to Bach's Toccata and Fugue from Symphonie in D minor they also include a piece of minuet then go to that riff from Enter Sandman by Metallica...as well some small piece of Techno sounding like prodigy is Thomas's way to do a small review on evolution of music

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

There are few other music types in the section besides the ones you listed. It starts from a time way before harpsichord. There is also tribal and Gregorian chant (Dies Irae). I think there should be Rock Around The Clock too, but haven't found it. It has to be certain place, but it is not there or I don't know the song well enough. Just a small correction to a name that you probably know. Tuomas, not Thomas. Well, Tuomas is basically Finnish equivalent to Thomas so it is not far off. Personally I don't mind how people say or write it though. You apparently know their music so I wanted to mention that.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I think the idea of all those music fragments is to give the listener understanding of the timescales. The time goes pretty fast from Bach (1700s) to Metallica (1991) followed by 2000s techno music. It demonstrates evolution of music as a bonus but I take that the original idea was to demonstrate time passing and those were understandable calibration points.

[@marcfromparis333]

I now invite you to see this song performed at Tampere in 2015 with amazing fireworks synchronized to the music.

[@marcfromparis333]

plus gigantic pyros 😊🤘

[@billattercliffe8655]

A few thoughts: - The harmonies are actually three part with Troy the pipe player also singing. The camera rarely focuses on Troy during the singing. The three of them were also doing the animal grunts, including Floor, but the editor has a thing about showing Floor making unladylike noises. Remember this if you want to react to "Yours is an Empty Hope" from the same concert at Wembley. - The Metallica riff was part of the history of music that also included, Bach, a harpsichord, EDM, banjos, and tribal drums. - The narration at the end by Dawkins is from the last paragraph of the Origin of Species. - The text is dotted with scientific terms that fit the narrative. Have Google handy when reading the lyrics. - Check out the Tampere version as well. It's outdoors in Finland so we don't get Dawkins, but we do get fireworks. - If you're interested in checking out Floor's vocal acrobatics, here's a few suggestions: "Romanticide" at Wacken 2013, "Yours is an Empty Hope" at either Wembley or Mexico City (not the crappy official version), "Phantom of the Opera" with Henk Poort and Nightwish in Amsterdam at the Ziggo Dome, "Shoemaker" live or in studio, the "Ad Astra" outro to any of their more recent concerts. Then there's all of her performances with her previous bands, ReVamp and After Forever.

[@Frank-M.]

The Greatest Show on Earth live in Tampere is worlds better precisely because Troy isn't there and Floor and Marco can express themselves completely without having to take Troy's limited voice into account.

[@randomman4938]

@@Frank-M. Totally disagree. and Troy WAS at Tampere, quit bagging on Troy, he brings a lot to the band. Is he a metal vocalist? No, but he doesn't suck. And its not his fault Marko left the band, and left Troy and Floor to cover all the vocals.

I was in the crowd, amazing, stunning and an emotional evening.

I play this song from this show recording everytime I go for a drive of at least 20 minutes. I just so enjoy cranking it up while on the highway.

[@77bubba00]

Great reactions! Yep, they are one of the few bands I've heard that are best live. The studio recordings are excellent, but when they are live, they're on a whole new level! The version of this song performed at live at Tampere is phenomenal! Outdoor show. think.... fireworks. 🙂 Oh.... and did you notice that Emppu squeezed in a Metallica riff?

[@RickcandKai]

Another symphonic metal song that is great is on Orions Reign channel, Thunderstruck symphonic cover with Brazilian metal artist Dan Vasc, was the lead singer. Never thought that this song can sound this good in symphonic metal.

[@tenaseesherry]

NW fans can be brutal. Thick skin is needed. Thanks for giving a listen! I enjoyed your take on this incredible song. Peace! ❤ (The symphony is a recording of the London Philharmonic) Speaking of that, Tuomas has a heavy classical background. Considering he has done extensive work with classical pieces still to this day. If it interests you, you can check out all the Nightwish instrumentals. He is an exceptional composer. 🙏🏻🫶🏻❤️

[@Aenea-de9vy]

Yes, Tuomas, the Mozart of Metal! 🤘🔥

[@krisslynn9489]

Most nightwish fans are going to say start with ghost love score because it's traditional. But since you are already metal fans, I'm going to suggest Romanticide, Storytime, Yours is an Empty Hope, and the Poet and the Pendulum. Ghost Love Score is also phenomenal, but it isn't quite as heavy. Then there are songs that are amazing floor songs: Ghost Love Score, Where's the Heart, Shoemaker, Phantom of the Opera, and she sang as a guest with epica but I can't remember the song.

[@krisslynn9489]

I didn't like anything from the Human Nature album when I first heard it but after my second listen Tribal and Noise became my favorite night wish songs. So I also recommend those two😊

[@tageorenius6326]

Great reactions, thanks guys! And yes, Tuomas Holopainen really is the brain and heart of this art.

[@jupe8025]

And then comes the fans shouting "Wrong live concert!, Tampere is the most epic one ever!"

[@deanabennett8461]

Yes,It irks me

[@PanzerkinOfDeath]

If you like the heavier songs listen to the following: 1 - Romanticide (The wacken open air 2013 live is perfection - aka, Official Live Video on KZbin) 2 - Master, Passion, Greed (One of their hardest songs) 3 - Yours is an Empty Hope (The growls are all Floor) 4 - The Poet and the Pendulum (but only after you look at the history of that song with the band...much more impactful) Oh...and Ghost Love Score - easily the most popular of their songs (Again, the Wacken Open Air version is absolute perfection)

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

For heavier songs I would add also Ghost River, Dark Chest of Wonders and Weak Fantasy.

[@randomman4938]

All great suggestions!!

[@randomman4938]

@@kimmomatikainen1843 YES, wonderful songs as well! Ghost River - Wacken 2013 (live performance) Dark Chest of Wonders - Wacken 2013 (Live performance and was the show opener) Weak Fantasy - Wembly 2015 (live performance .... "Kai Hahto on drums ... " :)

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

Uilleann pipes are bagpipes. For some reason a lot of people think that Scottish (great highlands bagpipes) are the only bagpipe, but that is not true. There are traditional bagpipes all over the world. Bagpipe is the generic name for that type of instruments and not a name of a specific model/version.

[@donepearce]

Tuomas is the creative force, but in the case of this album, the drive came from Troy, who introduced him to Richard Dawkins' work. Between them they wrote a letter (a real one on paper) to Richard asking him if he would narrate this song. He agreed, and as you can see, also agreed to perform it live on stage when they came to Wembley. This show was my live introduction to Nightwish. Before this I had never heard of them.

[@jovenesemprendedores26]

Luego podrían ver esta misma canción en la versión del concierto en Tampere, la puesta en escena es aún mejor.

[@05smaugthegolden]

That was Richard Dawkins, the biologist, he is quite famous, and he is reciting Darwin. Endless Forms Most beautiful (Darwin) is also the name of the Nightwish album.

[@yerviniansamvel]

Tuomas is brain of Nightwish but all band is just pure talented,humble people,i was lucky to see them alive when Floor was pregnant, kind of 6 or 7 month and they still was great,even without Marko

[@sandy1653]

That's the London Symphony Orchestra (or at least that's the orchestra I remember Tuomas working with) playing as a track.

[@mvellis3863]

I highly recommend that you guys react to their other 15 minute masterpiece. "The Poet And The Pendulum" from this same Wembley 2015 concert. It will absolutely blow you away

[@majbrat]

Tuomas, the keyboard player (genius composer and the one who created this whole thing 😉) has a bottle of wine or 2 in a special holder on his stand LOL. The Metallica Riff ended a brief histiry of music in which started with the Harpischord you heard. There are a ton of easter eggs. Check out "7 Days to the Wolves" for another banger from this same show. Epic! With Nightwish, good music is just good music. The entire 2013 Wacken show is easily considered one of the best concerts ever. You guys should check it out ! Nightwish fans would show up. We love it. ❤️

[@yerviniansamvel]

Tuomas in every album writing also orchestral version of every song and going to London to make it,of course live its impossible to have live orchestra but in album its a real orchestra with everything inside,thats why Tuomas is called Mozart our times

[@johannessilver8653]

Tuomas was to make this 45 min long but had to shorten it in order to fit on an album side. 4,6 billion years still to be explained here. Yes he is Metal Mozart to be able to write this and plenty of more. Dawkins in the end was a pearl too. Check also Tampere version...maybe even more grand. Miss Marco in vocals though.

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done guys

[@VK.Vertol]

Hi guys, very good video reaction from you - I like it 🙂👍🤘

[@mattgraham2835]

what tight and awesome rhythm section that is nightwish is the quintescential top tier for Finnish heavy metal with the sounds and colors and its quite intellectually stimulating if the venue is big enough the light show and no one else does this kind of music quite at the production level that they can. They use sounds like whistles chimes and flutes mandolin and the welsh Uileen pipe that Troy plays very well well enough to impress the crap out of us but all these folks in this band are professional musicians all at the top of their game like a modern pink floyd which is quite a compliment

[@richardwest6358]

@mattgraham2835 - the clue re Troy's pipes is the word "uilleann" - which is Irish for elbow and refers to the method of inflation. So NOT WELSH !

[@tracyfarnath2270]

Great reaction guys, if you haven't done it yet the poet and the pendelum is another epic song.

[@kwtkold9302]

I was indeed there that night, this was a pretty special song as well. I was sitting next to a father and son, the son was sceptical at first, by the end he was pretty stunned.

[@jord-o965]

And this is all live, can you believe it?! Sounds exactly like the studio recording insane!

[@droiduser9633]

In this version, Troy plays in the intro an electric guitar with an e-bow. Making it sound more like a violin or cello. Also Richard Dawkins on stage. In the Tampere version, Troy plays pipes in the intro, and we'll timed fireworks.

[@Thorgrim247]

Nightwish is a dish best served LIVE. The intro is a slow burn for a reason. The solar system took some time to coalesce.

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

Actually, the comment about it being reminiscent of "Dust in the Wind" was an interesting take, and now that I think about it I can see it. Nice!

[@randomman4938]

YEs, you guys have heard that riff from Emppu before, it was of course ENTER SANDMAN, this was the part of the song, where the (Tuomas) band gave a nod to his influences in music from Dueling banjos and Brahms Lullaby to Enter Sandman and others .... Tuomas decided to get into metal after seeing Metallica in concert when he was in the states as a youth. Prior to that he was planning on starting a folk music band i believe.

[@islgrl292]

The inspiration for Tuomas to write this masterpiece was Dawkins book of the same name. I am sure he contacted him, & birthed this with Dawkins as a participant. There is an interview with Dawkins about this before the concert. He was really nervous. Tuomas, & the band work with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, & their related choirs, for their music, created by Tuomas Halopanien. They don't use live orchestras. They are a tight group, their concerts mastered with long associated crews!

[@diedzjeeoudshoorn7726]

Welcome to the 21th century Mozart, Beethoven and Bach, combined into one genius individual. I foresee future generations still enjoying this. Eternal quality and beauty. Tuomas is absolutely amazing. In that same league I place Arjen Lucassen from Ayreon and Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree. Those three composers are at the very top.

[@user-VeryoldGeezer]

Saw them at Wembly in 2022 great night out,,😎

[@Rico.at.50]

They have impressive live performances, but rarely like in Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, from Buenos Aires concert. That one was on superb level from each member, if you're interested.

[@vmaxbabe]

Indeed, Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean - performed in Buenos Aires is a stellar performance. If you were impressed with Floor singing in this performance, you will again be impressed but her vocal ‘gymnastics’!

I'll just be here watching you guys watch them, crying and snotting like an idiot. Will see if I collect myself at the end of the video.

[@richardgoddard37]

Don't worry about the keyboardist (Tuomas) getting dehydrated, he has a bottle of red wine tucked away under the keyboards 🤣

[@damienmaynard8892]

Tuomas Holopainen, on keyboards/composer/arranger/lyricist, had to shorten this Opus to make it physically possible for the band to play it live! Tuomas co-conducted the orchestra for the backing track - London Symphony Orchestra with Pip Williams and The London Metro Voices Choir....... Hey! For Halloween try their "Scaretale"!? edit: Floor sang "enter life" and "enter LUCA", Marko sang "enter Ionia".... Emppu on guitar does not sing - so OF COURSE he played the "Enter Sandman" riff!

[@artsamuel0303]

This was the last song in a two hour concert...and she hits every note : )

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Nightwish does have a backing track for there symphony but Tuomas the keyboard player and founder is known to travel to the U.K. and writes the music note by note for the London philharmonic orchestra. Floor has also lent her vocals backing track music. could you imagine touring with a full orchestra how expensive that would be?

[@jasonmarshall7572]

P.S. The same concert has a song called Yours is an empty hope, where Floor growls I'm sure you'd like seeing another side to her vocals

[@jpdemer5]

The seamless blend of symphonic and rock is reminscent of the Moody Blues (if you're old enough.) Holopainen is the first composer to do it well in half a century.

[@Klojum]

If you more into prog metal, try "Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down", a project by Dutch master-mind hippie Arjen Lucassen (2m07 tall..) who invited 11 metal singers for an awesome album. You may find some interesting and familiar faces.

[@user-VeryoldGeezer]

I really enjoyed your reactions to thistrack, as already mentioned 2 other epic live Nightwish songs to check out, The Poet and the Pendulum (live at Wembley) & Ghost Love Score (live at Wacken). Both absolutely magnificent

[@ikkeschopkont]

That is actually why I love Nightwish and for example Ayreon aswell, live. It is meant to be consumed fully, with all visual and audio. It is really theatrical in that sense. Love to be entertained that way. There are quite a few songs recorded that would entertain you this way.

[@Rancid-Jane]

Ha, I have never experienced you guys before. I will be watching closely to see what you think.

[@allankeithzurba4908]

Great job guys. There is another version of this song that is live from Tempere ,Finland. In this one there is actually a coordinated fireworks section to see. Maybe you will check it out.

[@gericko]

There are two other epic masterpieces that are usually put with this one: Ghost Love Score (Wacken Live) and The Poet and the Pendulum (from this concert at Wembley). There is also an equal, but different live performance of this song at Tampere live. Someone comments on it below. It is outdoor and they hook up fireworks to Tuomas' keyboards in the intro and outro. If you want us all back, and subscribing, you react to these as well. ::grin::

[@kquincy3068]

Yes, Thomas is the main composer creativity behind Nightwish and if you guys like this version, I would highly suggest doing the Wembley version. It will knock your socks off I mean, absolutely gob smacked. And yes, floor is 6 foot one or 62 I believe and those little chills and goosebumps you get when you listen to her hit some of those high notes are what we all affectionately called floor gasms

Enough Keyboards? You should check something from Ayreon Universe concert :) Ayreon is prog tho. For example the song "The day that the world breaks down" is 13 mins but it has 11 singers (of many you probably know) so you won't get bored as there's something new coming all the time. This one isn't in the Universe show, which does also have quite a few singers.

If you would like to read the lyrics and the content and Then listen to the Tampere version you'll be blown away even more. Thank you.
