Irene Jansen is in fact Floor's sister and does back up vocals in a lot of these live performances by Ayreon. She also is 1 of the 2 singers who sang the last part of the song in this live version which is actually done by Floor on the studio album.
Since 2004, Ayreon has given 34 concerts, almost all in the Netherlands. In 2023 they gave 6, which was a new "record". They took place in three days in the same venue, twice with 2 shows a day.
Yes! Mad. Because, the Mad Ringmaster wrote and produced it. Welcome to Arjen's World. Please continue to dive into that realm... Nice react. Do. More. Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘
Well worth checking out the music video from 2017. There is text in the video explaning what is happening and who is singing. Some different singers in this one and some from the original. Some other great songs from Arjen to check out. Age Of Shadows Everbody Dies are definitely worth looking at Your are right with the binary code. trustTH1 is the name of Michael Mills's character Irene Jansen is Floor' sister. Floor's original part was sung by Floor's sister and Marcela Bovio in this one. Everyone was saying that this was going to be great, done live. They weren't wrong 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
TH1 is the AI played by Mike Mills, from the Australian band Toehider. Hence TH. Your translation of the binary code is correct. Great reaction! If you want to do more Ayreon, please consider 'The eye of Ra' or 'Everybody dies', preferably live.
0:15 Damn, I love this picture! Anneke van Giersbergen, Floor Jansen, Simone Simons and the Tall Hippie Dude himself. Must be around 2007, they’re all young here. You have to hear Anneke by herself one day! She’s a fantastic singer, second only to Floor.
Oh such a good song, and The Source album is just amazing. It's worth to listen to the studio version. And to other songs from this concert, and the Ayreon Universe concert. And other albums hahaha I don't even know where to start with recommendations. Hopefully other folks here will help you out.
I love this song so much but always prefer it live a little more because Anneke singing in it :)) She was one of the first woman and the first in the netherlands to front a metal band. little funfact, since you do know Floor. Anneke was Floor’s idol and is the reason she started singing in metal. You definitely have to check annie out with her old band ‘the gathering’ this is their most iconic song strange machines live at pinkpop 1996 th-cam.com/video/1HUMwinV2AQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T6VY401j1mDGIWeC
The ones in the audience are part of the show and mead to the artists; that's why the concerts are in small venues of 3k to 4k. These concerts sell out in 3-4 minutes after the bookings are open. Those you see are the hardest of hardcore fans, they heard the 2017 studio version at least 600 times, they know the lyrics by heart and let themselves suck into an experience for which no words exist. That's why Michael Mills, who plays the Android and who communicates in binary, can ask to sing along if you know the words.
Arjen's works are like "who is who" in the world of metal/rock... but since he "needs" such a big number of prominent artists, there is virtually no chances to gather them all together for live performances, so from year to year, the posting change significantly... If you like to really see with own eyes what we are talking here, you might check the song Eye of Ra live from 2018, this is the last piece in that concert and during the song, ALL the artist (from that year) come to podium and sing together (among them for example both Jansen sisters and Marco Hietala, of those you allready know)... th-cam.com/video/cMq4icPuGa8/w-d-xo.html And, make sure you one day do the Valey of the Queens... a shorter piece but prime example of 3 wonderfull ladies singing... th-cam.com/video/TbebO5BZi-I/w-d-xo.html
Oooh usually people do the music video first for all the information and the original vocalists because surprise surprise most of these vocalists aren't on the original track. The original vocalists present are: Simone Simmons (the Councilor), Hansi Kürsch (the Astronomer) and Mike Mills (TH-1). The other vocalists featured here are mostly the original vocalists for the 01011001 album which is what they played in it's entirity this show, I was there! Of course there's some vocalists swapped around and changed but notably you chose the one version of this song without Floor she couldn't come because she was heavily pregnant at the time, her parts were done by Brittney Slayes in this show because Floor is also on the 01011001 album. I like the touch of having her part in this song be done by two of Ayreon's Angels (background vocalists) though. My favourite song of this show is River of Time because it became a duet between Damian Wilson and Hansi Kürsch and I really love both vocalists a ton. It was already a duet of course and Hansi is one of the original vocalists but adding Damian was a nice touch.
Theres no need to try to avoid copyright with anything from Arjen. Edit, This is a different line up from the album version so your list of artists isnt relevent, only Hansi from Blind Guardian, Simone Simmons from Epica and Mike Mills from toehider are on both versions. Mike Mills who plays the Computer TH1 his lyrics are 01110100 01110010 01110101 01110011 01110100 01010100 01001000 00110001 (which is binary for Trust TH1
Hi Jenn. The enjoyable/frustrating thing about Ayreon projects, is that Arjen has to call on so many different musicians to record their individual contributions. As a self-confessed recluse, he is reticent in performing his works live in concert. This is the fourth live performance however, and he has amassed a quality cast of able musicians to manifest his vision. Floor did indeed appear on the studio recording back in 2017, but as she had recently given birth to Lucy, she was unavailable to perform. Britney Slays of 'Release The Archers' is an able understudy, but it highlights the problem that Arjrn has in performing these shows. Many of the originally chosen artists are either unavailable or even deceased on some of the previous concerts. As another contributor has mentioned, the Jansen family are ably represented with Irene, and she in-fact sings Floor's part at the end. Take care Kevin in North Wilts.
@@Mischnikvideos Indeed Freja was born on March the 15th 2017. Floor was unable to attend this live performance (September 2023) because she was heavily pregnant. Lucy was born on October the 20th, 2023.
What's special about this song is Arjen himself explaining in the 2017 official video that he thinks this particular song would be difficult to play live. While I do enjoy this version... the best has to be the original. Keep in mind you get to see the master himself playing the majority of all the instruments sort of live. The original 11 main singers are a treat as well. That's about as spoiler free as I can recommend this song version.
This is a pretty good live version but prefer music video with some different singers and Arjen's commentary. Plus he plays guitar unlike in this live version. Maybe watch songs from an earlier concert, The Eye of Ra is great. Personally I prefer the early Star One 2003 live concert with only Floor and her sister Irene singing all the female parts and Arjen playing guitar and singing.
You got the wrong video! , this one is the live version of last year...much cooler is the original video of 2017 with commentary of Arjan himself and with all the background information who perform!
I go with what I am requested or I have to choose. I do not know this artist or what video I should react to so if I choose then it is usually most viewed or best quality etc. "Best" is always subjective anyway. It is what it is.
@@JennReacts thats ok but some videos are just better to react on and much cooler same with nightwishs ghost love score there is only one video you have to react to and thats the 2013 wacken one, same with sancta terra feat floor only right video is the one jubileum concert of epica etc etc
How would I know which was better? I go with the requested version and if no specific version is requested then I have to take a chance. Usually that means the most viewed or the best quality.
That's the way it goes. I know nothing about Ayreon or intentions so I can only go with the requested video or a guess. People's opinions vary anyway so I can can only do my best.
I know and it’s not your fault. People often fail to give proper guidance. They just shout: watch this! Without providing a proper link or instructions. For this song the general consensus is that the official music video is the best possible way to introduce someone to the world of Ayreon because you get to see who he is, how he works, the artists he works with and the song as well. I highly recommend to watch the official video anyway. I’m sure that a lot of things will fall into place.
Intention is always personal and never obligatory: you can see benefit in both versions. Live experience is great and the artists response to the crowd gives an extra. So don't be too harsh. If you want it polished and with Arjens commentary, that one is a great choice too

Such a rabbit hole you just opened. Enjoy! Arjen is another master of musical composition!🤘🎸
@bazkeen Small correction: Floor's part was sung by her sister Irene and Marcela Bovio (Ayreon's Angels).

check out the song called the sixth extinction live, it is even better ;)

Check out the three epic live concerts.
How would I know which was better? I go with the requested version and if no specific version is requested then I have to take a chance. Usually that means the most viewed or the best quality.
I've been in the audience the day before this was recorded, and I clearly prefer this version. Funny how much opinions can differ...
@ personal taste is the answer
The intention with this one is always to watch the official music video, not the live version. Missed opportunity.
