My dream role has 12 minutes of stage time. And a great 12 minutes it is.

[@themusicalfrog9312]

I was there that night, an amazing performance. I am not a fan of Jason Donovan but he is superb as Parson Nathaniel.

[@richardealden2323]

Thanks for the upload ... very clear .. Such an amazing album .. still one of my favourites ... and an incredible live show .. I saw it on 8 December at the NEC in Birmingham . 😁😁😍😍😍

[@robh8460]

[@neilmurphy966]

I've got the dvd of the stage show ..is worth getting hold of !! Music magpie or Amazon..!!? Is better filmed than this even..😍

[@giftheck]

@@neilmurphy966 There's currently two different DVDs - one of the first 2006 show, and one of the 2012 show (which was Jason Donovan's first appearance as Parson Nathaniel). Assumedly you have the 2012 show.

[@neilmurphy966]

@@giftheck I think yr right it must be that '12 version.. I would have to search for it tho to check the dvd case 😊😉

[@ralbynb158]

Saw this in Nottingham on the 7th. Incredible show and amazing music and performances ❤️

[@nicolaeggleston490]

Very apt song at the moment, I think???

[@treforesttextiles]

I went to watch this it was brilliamst

[@GalaxyJazzGirl]

There is a War of the worlds group on Facebook!

[@edmundverwey617]

I see Herbie and Chris are sitting on stools now. They been there since the double album in 1978. Is that Laurie Wisefield on the second lead guitar? I still say the 2012/13 Universal studios version is the best ever version. Thanks for uploading.

[@Kashi-K]

funny that Carrie uploaded a video about this a day later

[@madisonkatexx3477]

Did they get rid of the part where her ghost flies into the ceiling??

[@paigem951]

madisonkate xx from what Carrie said in her latest vlog it seems like there’s been a technical issue with that particular effect

[@madisonkatexx3477]

@@paigem951 Oh! Where did she say that?

[@paigem951]

madisonkate xx her “tour of the worlds” vlog about half way through she said the spirit illusion wasn’t working

[@hannahlou5176]

They couldnt do it in some venues either. They kept it for some venues and didnt for others.

[@DavePortsmouth1964]

No wardrobe malfunction like at Brighton

[@martyrobbins5241]

What happened there?

[@paigem951]

I heard about that Carrie tweeted the both her and Jason stood on her dress so all the poppers popped open

[@UrLocalAminRahmanEmirates2315]

Dude that girl was vanished hit by Giant Egg Jeff wayne Tripod 10:25

[@Connor_Bowles]

War of the worlds is a masterpiece why did they have to change it

[@paigem951]

Connor Bowles what do you mean?

[@Connor_Bowles]

@@paigem951 all the music its too modern it ruins the intensity plus Liam Neeson's delivery is nowhere near as chilling as Richard Burton's and for me Justin Hayward is the only man that can sing Forever Autumn. I saw the show in 2009 before the new generation hit and it was amazing but not anymore

[@paigem951]

Connor Bowles see I thought it was amazing but this is the first time I’ve seen it so I can’t really compare

[@Connor_Bowles]

@@paigem951 watch the first live dvd

[@middlehutch14902]

@@Connor_Bowles I have no problems if the composer wants to change it slightly. as regards Justin Hayward he was not the original singer

[@chapaithefirst1028]

We will never return in 2006. Tara Blaise and Russell Watson performed a real drama. And in my point of view nobody could make it so.

[@briandonaghy1399]

Phil(ThinLizzy )Lynott ( did the original(& still best)Parson Nathaniel.....u GOTTA listen to the album

[@cymro6537]

I'm a massive Phil Lynott fan - but I beg to differ regarding his performance on the original - I thought that he overacted .

[@cjcj262]

liam neeson as nathaniel lol

[@paigem951]

cj cj Liam Neeson was the journalist not Parson Nathaniel
