THIS is the spectacle Demons and Wizards deserve! Hansi has NEVER sounded more powerful than this performance. The playing was absolutely superb by everyone involved. Those arpeggios in Fiddler are almost a song unto themselves.
The way he goes from his screams to soft singing in Fiddler is just jaw-dropping. It's almost like he's getting better with age, which with this range is almost ridiculous.
His vocals have definitely been getting better and better with each new BG and D&W album. Its has been really exciting to hear his newer recordings for me, and I am so looking forwars to III and next year's new BG!
I've always played fiddler on the green finger picked because I never thought in 1,000 I could pick it fast enough. Here Jon is doing it like shit's nothing. IMPRESSIVE
I was excited about Legacy before it came out, but when it did, oh man, I did not expect the uniqueness of the high level musicianship. This guy is on a roll, and I really hope (and expect) he keeps it going. Looking forward to new D&W and next year's BG!
Honestly Blind Guardian needs to bring this vocal group on tour so they can do more songs that Hansi just can't do alone. But goddamn, the energy here. You can *tell* the time is right for Demons & Wizards to be back, like you can feel the energy and passion Jon and Hansi both have, wanting to be there performing like this. They haven't looked this proud to be performing music live with their own respective bands in close to a decade.
Damn Hansi is such an amazing vocalist! He often has to take care of his voice anf step back a little from the hard screams, but he obviously poured all his heart into this performance!
To put this into context: ~30 min earlier they played this song, however Hansi stopped the crow after like 2 min. Seemed like they forgot to plan in the obligatory 5+ min for the chorus.
I love Hansi's voice, it's powerful, it reminds me of Imaginations from the other side years. I'm looking forward to hearing the new album on February, 21th of 2020.
Hansi’s scream at 11:33 - almost perfectly replicating the original from when he was 20 years younger - proves we’re seeing Jesus at work. I love Bruce Dickinson but in his 50s he can’t come anywhere near to replicating the high notes from the early albums. Hansi is just on another level. Unbelievable.
Come on man, I love Hansi's voice but I wouldn't really call that a fair comparison considering Bruce Dickinson had and recovered from throat cancer and his voice hasn't been quite the same since. I'm sure if Hansi had throat cancer his voice would also suffer.
Dude, that's a bit of a cheap shot considering that Bruce had throat cancer. Also, Bruce is in his 60s and for him to be performing at a high level for his age is just fucking incredible. Have some respect!
I think Bruce what at his best in the early 2000s. He was a lot more theatrical and powerful sounding when he was younger, but he didn't have the control he acquired in his later years.
@@Ceabrus74 Yeah, Bruce has been a far better/smarter/more listenable singer this millennium than in the previous one despite losing some range and power. He could do a lot in the 80s but his artistic choices are endlessly better now.
Fidder is my favorite song, and I love Crimson King very much too ))) DEMONS & WIZARDS is just best metal band with best vocalist in the world! Their music stole up to my heart most close
It was one of the most incredible moments ever. We went to Germany pretty much JUST for this set (also the Wacken Promised Land etc.), and it was unforgettable.
Salute to those boys Hansi and Schaffer!! They still rock SO DAMN HARD after so many years. They put 99% of today's popular radio "music" to shame EASY.
I know two of them are vocalists for Ayreon. Marcella Bovio is one, and John Jaycee Cuijpers is the other. I don't recognize the other two vocalists. The keyboardist, might be a LUL too (Joost van den Broek, also from Ayreon).
Estuve ahí con mi novia y algunos amigos. La mejor experiencia que he vivido por lejos en mi vida, y viendo a las leyendas vivientes de hansi y Jon. Greetings from Chile touched by the crimson King yeeaah \m/
Excellent show! The ending to fiddler on the green gave me goosebumps. Would have loved to hear when the crowd sang the bards song after this, but the video would have been too long
Again, again, again, I listen to this. I hope they are all good friends and will keep doing such great performances! I love how the crowd let them know how happy they are having them at WACKEN!
Who would win: A Swedish soldier with metal abs, an operatic German werewolf, and a Scottish prince with a warhammer or Some middle-aged guy with a button down shirt
I would have been properly losing my shit during Crimson King. I wonder if most in the audience were able to really appreciate the opportunity they just got to witness that. We have waited so long...
@@ferrari2k das Video "Blind Guardians Bards Song & Valhalla Wacken 2016" oder ähnlich. Da ist der ganze Chor zu hören :D Mein absolutes Lieblingsvideo
@@FynnAkaFynn Ja, schon klar, wer kennt das Video nicht ;) Aber wie einer hier schon anmerkte, das ist halt 3 Jahre alt und nicht vom aktuellen Auftritt :)
María de los Ángeles Bustamante Miller what I would like to know is what their opinion is of Demons & Wizards. Did they like the musical arrangements, the tone of the songs? All that stuff.
Love their live performance although I can´t help but wonder why Demons & Wizards have choirs at live performances and Blind Guardian don´t since BG songs are filled with more choir sections than D&W in studio.
Simple answer = It's Wacken after a nearly 20 year absence. Go big or go home. The real answer involves who the choir is and who is on the keyboards. With Marjan Welman, John Culpers, Marcela Bovio in the choir and Joost Van Den Broek on the keyboards and Hansi on vocals... Ie; All of those people are known associates of a certain Tall Hippie Dude who writes Ridiculous Things. Wacken was in August, less than a month later, Ayreon performed Electric Castle live in Tilburg. Now, corrrelation doesn't always equal causality, but yeah, timing is everything, and when it presents the opportunity to go all out at Wacken as a side effect... duh.
@@nathanberry4849 the left woman is Marjan Welman (Autumn) and the right one is Marcela Bovio (ex-Stream of Passion, Mayan), both were on the same Ayreon album as Hansi. The men, I have no idea.
@Mischa van der Hout Did you perhaps not click read more? I know who everyone on that stage is and said so, and I was being cute by not mentioning Arjen by name, cause he is still a relatively obscure figure. If you know who he is, then you tend to be in the loop for these things, if you don't, like, I'm assuming the person who asked the original question, it may seem odd that the stage is so elaborate. Marcela's a monster. I've been a fan since Human Equation, and she just gets BETTER every year. It's insane how good Arjen is at picking talent.
RIP Demons and Wizards , you'll be missed in the whole metal comunity 🤘🏻😪
Let's hope Jon would be acquitted and D&W would go on

Fiddler on the green is one of the best heavy metal ballad of last 20 years
*of all time
Dauerschleife.. so ein geiler Song
together with the bards song!
Of last 50 years too
How right you guys are! 🎸👍💯 I literally never get tired of listening to that masterpiece of a song🎹🎵🎶💯
Hansi is still badass! He could sing a Telephone book and it would sound awesome as well
lol!
Telephone book. Jesus Christ we are old
@@gft1913 lol
😂😂
still? he got better!
6:49 - Hansi: "I can tell you, it won't be another 19 years before we come back"
well kinda looks that way 🙃
Maybe Schaffer will get a probation
Algorithm go brrrrrr
lol good catch.
Since Hansi just left Demons & Wizards, we can assume that the words were kinda true
@@Ssorca Not gonna happen. He allegedly used bear spray (heavy-duty pepper spray) on DC/Capitol police. Guessing he'll do at least 3 to 5 years, maybe more, due to the other 5 lesser charges.
Impressive his performance by far the best show of the wacken 2019
Top 2, with Slayer. I can't decide but both of them where awesome
You mean THEIR performance? 💕🙏🇺🇸
Hansi screams , I cry 😂 THAT MANS VOCALS ARE INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. I cannot believe I was there . He gets me crying literally .
THIS is the spectacle Demons and Wizards deserve! Hansi has NEVER sounded more powerful than this performance. The playing was absolutely superb by everyone involved. Those arpeggios in Fiddler are almost a song unto themselves.

Jon Schaffer is one of the most underrated guitarist, his right hand is up there with the other greats.
I've always played fiddler on the green finger picked because I never thought in 1,000 I could pick it fast enough. Here Jon is doing it like shit's nothing. IMPRESSIVE
Dave Davidson sweep picking arpeggio. Training it’s the secret.
No doubt. One of the fastest picking hands ever
Nah fuck that, Jon is better than the greats, as far as rhythm playing goes. Best rhythm guitarist to ever live, nobody else has that wrist dexterity.
@@CriticsConfession Scott Ian does he's a machine!
im amazed that his voice has lasted so long. it sounds like its a struggle keeping that range up so many years. love me some Demons and wizards!
I was excited about Legacy before it came out, but when it did, oh man, I did not expect the uniqueness of the high level musicianship. This guy is on a roll, and I really hope (and expect) he keeps it going. Looking forward to new D&W and next year's BG!
@@WALDENSOFTWARE Legacy was a damn treat
The 3:15 - 4:15 worths more than the whole discography of some artists.

I see Jon Schaffer brought Jake Dreyer from Iced Earth over.
The guy is a monster guitarist,check out his own band Witherfall,they´re great.
I don't know Witherfall but will check them out now!: )
Awesome band like a mix between Nevermore and King Diamond.
On their off. youtube channel,they have both their studio albums in full-lenght.
The picking hand of Schaeffer is it's own sentient being!
I heard that it is controlled by the grand spatial architects !
One of my faves, of course I might be biased lol.
@iLike Labradors Hetfield's the master of the down stroke, but he'd never be able to get Jon's muted sound, which is pretty singular.
Damn Hansi is such an amazing vocalist! He often has to take care of his voice anf step back a little from the hard screams, but he obviously poured all his heart into this performance!
What a voice. It never gets old. Pure BRILLANCE.
There is never a need for an excuse to chant VALHALLA
To put this into context: ~30 min earlier they played this song, however Hansi stopped the crow after like 2 min. Seemed like they forgot to plan in the obligatory 5+ min for the chorus.
@@themasterofdisastr1226lol yeah when I saw guardian live they couldn't stop the crowd that shit went on for close to ten minutes 😂
When people recognize Marcela Bovio, John Jaycee Cuijpers and Joost van den Broek.
Ahhhhh I see... A man of culture...
Thanks to Arjen ;)
I have to admit, some tears came down my face near the end of Fiddler of the Green, thanks Hansi for your freaking voice.
Omg he did the scream on Fiddler On The Green! Also people singing Valhalla at the end, awesome
It is truly true what Arjen Lucassen said that Hansi's voice is so powerful and majestic. It seems that he screams from a mountain.
lol
The guitar solo of Fiddler on the green is so touching :´)
14:37 La bandera de Costa Rica lml
So the pyrotechnics almost blew Jon's face off at the end of Crimson king.
Close call
Yeah, funny!
Looking at his face, he totally realized.
Yes, he quickly looked away!
I love Hansi's voice, it's powerful, it reminds me of Imaginations from the other side years. I'm looking forward to hearing the new album on February, 21th of 2020.
Thats my 47th birthday.

Who has DVDs anymore? Come on, man! HD DVD is where it's at. JK! I knew what you meant.
Still waiting...this needs to happen!

One of the best voices and one of the best right hand. The result? Magic.
Rofl
I would have lost my absolute shit when they started Fiddler...love that track....to see it liv is really special...Hansi is a monster...
I saw them play it in Chicago and it was so good!
It was one of the most incredible moments ever. We went to Germany pretty much JUST for this set (also the Wacken Promised Land etc.), and it was unforgettable.
Salute to those boys Hansi and Schaffer!! They still rock SO DAMN HARD after so many years. They put 99% of today's popular radio "music" to shame EASY.
5:58 Oh Jon, be carefull with that pyro!!!
I love that they had actual back up singers, and not just using the tracks from the albums. Amazing.🤘
Jon Schaffer is in my opinion the best metal guitar player!!! amazing work
Wacken open air
Isso sim é um festival de respeito
Só reúne os gigantes do metal
Demons and Wizards sonzera

One of the best live solos I have seen in the Fiddler....
Never heard the solo of the Fiddler to be soooo goood !!!! Brought tears to my eyes ...
Yannis Kouretas Jake plays it better than the record
@@lo3572 I regret to say that I didn't know Jake until Jon brought him over to D&W! He's an amazing talent.

Why've you ever forgotten me
Fiddler on the green aka my goosebumps are having goosebumps.
Que performance, claro que a junção de 2 gigantes como Hansi e Jon Schaffer iria nos mostrar uma verdadeira obra prima. Demons & Wizards
Man. I wish I had been at this show. The backing choir made it so much better than the show I saw.
fiddler on the green is one of the best metal songs ever written ! a masterpiece
COOL SOLO!
Excellent show! The ending to fiddler on the green gave me goosebumps.
Would have loved to hear when the crowd sang the bards song after this, but the video would have been too long
Wacken has complete shows on their channel. The video wouldn't have been too long.
@@Lilly-Schmitt link? I looked couldn't find it.
It sounds like angels singing in the background at fiddler on the green. And the god himself on the microphone!...
Jon Schaffer, what a legend
I respect him more. For our freedom. Look at the world now. Fuckedd
If I had to choose only one most beautiful voice of metal it would be the one of Hansi. And may Matt Barlow forgive me :)
Saw them in Portland, OR back in August. Best show I've ever been to.
They included the tease about appearance on next year's Wacken ha. I'll probably get to see them again!
Hansi 2019: Next year will be better!
2020: Lemme show you
Still, Glad to see Demons & Wizards at Wacken! I love their music!
2021: XDDDDD
The ending of Fiddler on the Green blew my mind,simply amazing
Que impresionante presentación! Por este tipo de demostración artística es que amamos el género
This video needs WAY more views! This is perfection of live ballad performance!
can we just apreciate that they came in perfectly without someone counting off, just hansi raising his fist:P
Wow, Marcus Siepen playing bass?! Hansi hasn't sounded that well in decades live and the songs profit immensely from the backing vocals.
come on decades?
O que se ve nessa apresentação é algo sem precedentes na historia do wacken, simplesmente emocionante.
Los amo.. De corazón y con mucha fe le pido a Dios que vengan a Mexico a dar un tours...
Again, again, again, I listen to this. I hope they are all good friends and will keep doing such great performances! I love how the crowd let them know how happy they are having them at WACKEN!
Free John Schaffer.
that last song gave me goosebumps, I mean it litterally.
Wow wow .. great performance hansi
why why not coming to wacken 2020 :(
Saludes from costa rica
New album kicks serious ass!! Ebs and flows! This Wacken performance should be released in full for home viewing epicness
Man war das geil dort gewesen zu sein😍
Danke 🤘🐮🤘 Live is better then YT
We need this more and more! love this band btw fidler on the green is one of the most incredible lyrics i've listened to
Ich hoffe auf Konzerte dieses Jahr, die Band ist außergewöhnlich hammer gut!!!
11:34 Oooh yes!!! I waited for it!!!!!
Lol
Nice - great music, wish you the best! No politics please!
I might be wrong,but i think this is the first video of them singing the crimson king live on youtube.
There is a live performance of DaW @ Hellfest 2019. Not sure if they played Crimson King thou.
I would kill to see Down Where I Am live like this.
That finale gave me chills.
Who would win:
A Swedish soldier with metal abs, an operatic German werewolf, and a Scottish prince with a warhammer
or
Some middle-aged guy with a button down shirt
me. I would win. that much good music in one spot???
But to be honest: all the other shows you mentioned were also quite good.
But this show was by far the best
11:34 AMAZING!!!!!

i mean damn, a new album after 15 years. these are the good times.
