These are a whole lot better than the ones from 2009, where they literally looked scrunched up, and didnt run on the tracks for some reason. This musical was a time when they took their time to add details to everything on the stage, like the track layout, the rolling stock, and even the engines themselves. They look so amazing, and the fact their able to change their faces with special animatronics, as well as not moving their mouths when they talk, makes me wish we still had this thomas musical. This was the thing that hyped up my autism when i saw it a couple days ago, and i still love it. Props to Dan Colman, for bringing this masterpiece to life.
I sometimes wish that something like this would be brought back, or redone. A live-on-stage show touring the US, UK, or wherever (iirc the US didn’t get many live shows, but I do remember going to see Thomas Saves The Day when I was little) with a classic storyline, models that can make steam and be big enough to fit actual “drivers”, in a full size arena filled with children who can see the Thomas we grew up with come to life and done justice. It’s such a shame that the stage models were scrapped, and the show not fully documented. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but the work that went into this makes me feel like it could’ve been something that families can watch again and again over time. Just like how I occasionally find myself listening to Railway Series audiobooks.
Holy moly this is impressive. I never saw this since I grew out of Thomas as a kid, but this really took adapting a TV show on stage to a whole new level. I cannot image the budget that went into construction of the engines and animatronic faces, let alone the stage and the tracks.
I got some heck of a surprise when I just learned the director of big live and all aboard live tour was in fact... Iain Lauchlan! Director of the Fun Song Factory and the Tweenies! I didn't even know about that until then! I mean WOW!!! He is the top of the show! He's a legend!
I’m sad that I never got to see the live tours as a kid as I was born after the year the All Aboard Live Tour stopped. And there’s no full recording of the Big Live tour anywhere at the moment, so I’m a sad, strange little man, and I have your pity.
At 4:04, 🎶”I’ll huff and chuff all through the night, till I’m far away and free. And when my steam runs out I’ll know, that no one will find me. But things are not the same as before, Mistakes I make no one can ignore, I keep my paintwork looking fine, I try so hard to be on time, But I’m not a useful engine anymore. I’M NOT A USEFUL ENGINE ANYMORE...”🎶
I totally agree. I feel like this song would have fit in very well with sodors legend of the lost treasure or the all Engines go episode. The real number one
Woah!! What a cool find! Thanks for sharing it! That song by Thomas in the middle was the most interesting part for me. I'll you bet it's just a matter of time before we find a soundtrack for this show; just like how Ffarquhar Thomas uncovered the Korean "Thomas Saves The Day" soundtrack a few months ago. By the way, do you mind if I share this on Twitter? People need to see this!
4:04 (good ending) Percy Tells the fat Controller that thomas is still useful, and he can't leave sodor. The fat Controller agreed with Percy, and thomas is still really useful.
What if Thomas & Friends - The Big & All Aboard Live Tours Has Higher Budget And Then They Would Been Build Models Of Emily, Working Engines Version Of Gordon, Edward, Henry, Lady, Toby, Henrietta, Duck, Diesel, Oliver, Toad, Donald, Douglas, Bertie And Diesel 10 And They Would Been Touring Canada, United States Of America, Australia, Mexico, Latin America And New Zealand
Recently someone said that they apparently own a VHS recording of the show that was sold at the arenas the tour was currently playing at, at the time, they also said that they have plans to eventually upload it for public viewing.
@@thepolishgenerator5915 thomas and the circus you mean, funny how there whas another show called “thomas saves the day” with the same props as thomas and the circus

Seeing the models blink for the first time is honestly quite amazing and nerve racking.
it scares me how the eyes shake or one blink is more down than the other, very natural for 2000's animatronics.

I remember seeing that show back when I was a child!
I'm soooooooooo jealous!!!! I have such a big passion for this live show. What was it like there?
@@allenginesgofan101iambeing4 I watched it back when I was 4 years old. It was pretty lively there as far as I could remember back then.
Love that middle song with Thomas feeling blue. Very nice theatrical piece.
4:04 I couldn't agree more with you even for those that now know how the song goes
🥺😥😭
Considering a lot of the show was filmed, I'm surprised that they didn't consider releasing it on DVD.
They should have I wish to see the entire thing.
I wish the same thing as it all started in 2002 when it could have been released on VHS 📼 and DVD 📀 and I would experience it 😔
I Also Wish This Aired On TV as a Television Special
The Facebook Page States That A Tape Does Exist, They Just Are No Allowed To Put It On Dvd
@@Henryfan1Productions do you have any clue of where I could buy the VHS of it?

4:04 - Thomas after Mattel ruined him
I remember going to this. Absolutely loved it
Damn, I currently miss this live tour so much.
4:04 Someone should do an AI cover of this with John Hasler's voice

Me too dude that song is great and beautiful
That song should’ve been put into
Sodor’s Legend of the Lost Treasure!
@@zacwollervoiceninja5136 I agree!
I agree!
I just realized some of the music heard in the live tour has been reused in the Magic Tracks app.
I noted too
They should’ve released on DVD and VHS
Agreed!
Look at shows like:
The Wiggles
Bob the builder
Bear in the big blue house
They all got live shows, and those shows have been put onto DVD
僕も同じ願い事 書いたから 当たり前だ😊
Or veggietales live dvd (2011)
Who voices the troublesome trucks in the big live tour?

I don't mind, a few people have also posted about this on twitter.
I think this is probably the closest thing Thomas could get to musical theater
I think this could be the closest thing Thomas has been to musical theater what do you guys think
4:04 (good ending) Percy Tells the fat Controller that thomas is still useful, and he can't leave sodor. The fat Controller agreed with Percy, and thomas is still really useful.
Why didn't they release these shows on VHS or DVD?
リリース してほしい 寂しすぎる😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
リリースしてよね みんな 待ってるよ🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great Find.
Thomas will always goen to my friend no matter what
This is good like it like the sorder
Railway
GOOD NEWS LADS! LONDON ENGLAND, THIS LIVE TOUR THOMAS MODEL IS AT LONDON!
I thought it got scrapped
@@northyw64 it did, I thought he was alive, but no.
those pictures were taken in 2018, and it's long gone :c
4:03 Think that song fits well with Thomas in my Sodor Fallout AU?
It’s creepy seeing their faces move like that
Thomas Pulling Naughty And Troublesome
There’s gotta be someone who worked on this production that has a hq record of the entire show
What if Thomas & Friends - The Big & All Aboard Live Tours Has Higher Budget And Then They Would Been Build Models Of Emily, Working Engines Version Of Gordon, Edward, Henry, Lady, Toby, Henrietta, Duck, Diesel, Oliver, Toad, Donald, Douglas, Bertie And Diesel 10 And They Would Been Touring Canada, United States Of America, Australia, Mexico, Latin America And New Zealand
And Then Thomas & Friends - The Big Live Tour Would Been Toured In Japan
My childhood
rip edward henry toby duck and oliver
They couldn’t afford to make all characters
Donald and Douglas: i guess no one cares about us!
So cool really cool and I love thomas james percy gordon harold and jack from thomas & friends this is totally super cool
I heard the James model broke a world record. Or was that the all aboard show?
It was the James model that broke a world record in 2004. Check out the trivia: th-cam.com/video/wElBnBdYJyE/w-d-xo.html
the all aboard show uses the same props
Same prop,.
0:07 Is Thomas pulling the Troublesome Trucks?
Why would they shut it down it's just a family friendly show for the kids😢
ひどい でも リリースできると 信じて🎉
Me loves big lives tour!
そうだよ 僕たちも Thomas and friends the big live tour all aboard live tour 大好きなんだよ😊
Magnificent
Was this Thomas live show playing somewhere in Southern California USA?
DVD と vhs 楽しみに まってるよ
what did thomas say when harold the helicopter found thomas the tank engine
サウンドトラックも まってるよ
James looks high to me
I used to go see that play in Birmingham when I was 4 years old.
This is awesome
I wish they add it on dvd and vhs for it just like they did with bob the builder live stage so why not thomas
七夕に願いを 書いたら 願いが叶うかもしれないよ😊大丈夫
追加しないのは 世界中のみんなは 悲しいでしょうから追加 カモン🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Goof: Thomas has Edward's whistle
The arena shows don't use the TV series whistles, they instead use a generic train whistle sfx as heard in the video.
@@TBLTfan IT sounds like Edward
Why the heck did they not put this live show on DVD?!
Recently someone said that they apparently own a VHS recording of the show that was sold at the arenas the tour was currently playing at, at the time, they also said that they have plans to eventually upload it for public viewing.
@@TBLTfan Oh, cool.
When?
Andrew Lloyd Webber: why didn’t I make a musical based on the books I read?
Because your pilot for the TV series is made! That's why. 😎
So, This is The Full Version?
You mean the trailer?
@@maxsanderson735 yes
The full thing
2002-04
I wasn't born in 2003
I guess I was born in the wrong generation, I was born 6 years late to witness this beauty
Finally!
I have some bad news...
AI Voice
Y Edward😑?
I think this was first in Portugal 🇵🇹
No, this live show only toured the UK.
Is this Thomas saves the circus?
@@thepolishgenerator5915 No, this is the Thomas & Friends The Big Live Tour, which came out 7 years before The Circus Comes To Town.
@@TBLTfan oh. In Portugal, Poland, Germany, and many more there was a "Thomas save the circus"
@@thepolishgenerator5915 thomas and the circus you mean, funny how there whas another show called “thomas saves the day” with the same props as thomas and the circus
Nice
Thomas is scraped...
I’m not really useful engine any more I’m not a really useful engine any moreeeee
