I'm just gonna use this oppurtunity to brag about the fact that I attended this very concert! 😁🤘 Can confirm, it was truly a magical experince, I headbanged so hard I slightly dislocated my jawbone, and only noticed afterwards... Worth it! 🙌
Lucky! I saw them at Wembley when they played Poet and the Pendulum in 2015 :)
I'm more than slightly jealous
Can't blame you, I'd brag about it too! This and Wacken 2013 are the two concerts I really wish I could have attended
Floor's parents were there too. Lovely. Did you see the documentary? th-cam.com/video/zRqqma4kWIg/w-d-xo.html
I had tickets to Rock Fest this year. And now it is cancelled. 😪
When Empu stands next to Floor at the end, it's like Frodo standing next to Galadriel
HHAHAHAHHAHAHAA PERFECT!
😂😂😂😂
and Marko is Gandalf 😂
The same when he walks behind her in Ghost Love Score, she has even higher heels and the angel makes him look even smaller, he barely reach her shoulder 😂
@@F1rstWorldNomaD As if height were the measure of a man.
The Enter the Sandman riff is part of the history of music. There's tribal drums, a harpsichord, Bach, and banjos.
The enter Sandman riff is also a pun to the "Single grain of sand" line in the lyric.
There's dubstep too, but it's clearer on the album.
@@F1rstWorldNomaD Thank you for that little nugget. I did not know this after watching this performance over and over again. :) (something new everyday)
If I'm not mistaken, there's a little bit of Led Zeppelin in there too, but I might be wrong :)
@@firebugjohnnypyro Youre welcome. 😁
Isnt it amazing that no matter how much you learn about this band there is always more to know?
They have these seemingly endless intricacies to almost everything they do, I absolutly love it. 🥰
Why am I always crying at the end of this song?
The question should say: "Why are there people in this world who manage not to cry at the end of this song?" Seriously.
Because it reminds you that you "won the lottery of birth" and "WE WERE HERE." We are here, we have made our mark just by existing.
I cry every time, is inevitable
Same here 🙋♀️
@@Ilionej or maybe How come some people have never heard this song?
Conversation when Tuomas met Troy
Tuomas: So what instruments do you play?
Troy: Yes
lossow1 Troy: Yes
Fans: Nightwish, how much epicness can you pack into one song? Nightwish: Yes.
Ascension Energetics and in which other song? nightwish: yes
The mother of all songs. The end always makes me shed a tear.
I think where they're singing "We were here!" at the end is a cautionary nod to humanity's extinction.
A last, desperate and/or resigned message to whoever may find it in the far future made by the last remnant of humanity, yes.
Very Norse - despite Raganarok we will leave a message for who- or what-ever comes after us.WE WERE HERE.... makes me think of the Voyager probes - all alone in the cosmos - perhaps even after we are gone they will still be travelling. This song should be on the next one!
It was celebratory in my mind, especially with that Dawkins text.
@@amazonwarlord Exactly right. We are the lucky ones that were born and that were here.
I love that Tuomas gives a lightspeed history of western music right in the middle. Everyone that I've watched react to this catches the Metallica riff, a few catch the two Bach quotes, but no one so far has noticed that the first musical quote is the Gregorian chant Dies Irae, one of the most influential and quoted melodies in all of western classical music. In the space of a few moments, Tuomas bridges hundreds of years of musical greatness. I love how his mind works!
great!
that's an awesome concept, i'm not a musician so i wouldn't hear such things myself
I also think it's because it's less easy to catch it during a live performance as the instrumentals get drowned out by audience noise and stuff.
To add, the whole sequence begins with tribal chanting then to Gregorian chanting from Dies Irae, to Bach, to Metallica then to the bassline (EDM-ish sounding beat) of Wish I Had An Angel.
I did!! 😁
Long intro is to give time for the universe to form and our planet to spin into existence. That is the one, the Uilleann pipes. You heard it correctly. At the beginning of the last section Tuomas plays the melody to Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" and at the end of the section you hear 2 riffs from Metallica "Enter Sandman". This is Tuomas' way of paying tribute to the evolution of music from calssical to metal. Yes the final song. A song about 4.6 billion years of evolution. The Greatest Show on Earth is "Life"! Wonderful job my man! as usual! Peace and be well.
thank you for this information about the music, makes the song even more meaningful for me ( if that is possible)
After the Metallica riff you can hear a few seconds of also EDM, so that section is a tribute to music evolution in general. Fun fact: this song is the last on "Endless Forms", then the next album starts with "Music".
That’s not Toccata and Fugue in D minor, it’s Minuet in G. The rest of what you said is spot on, though. Truly the greatest band.
@@Mordred41407 no, h's correct. It's the beginning of the Fugue. See 0.40 from the french series 'Était une fois l'homme' th-cam.com/video/sC4fnyAqOB0/w-d-xo.html
or original (2.40) th-cam.com/video/ho9rZjlsyYY/w-d-xo.html
Gonna tell you a story Padawan, Tuomas was going to end Nightwish because of the backlash he got from firing Tarja his childhood bff, his current bff Tony Kakko lead singer of Sonata Arctica/ maestro actual RL knight took Tuomas hiking and said "you end Nightwish over my dead body". If you check out Tony's IG tonykakko_official that's Tony, he is a very up front guy & giant nerd & goofball. Tony doesn't quit & doesn't care what people think of him. He does what makes him happy. His band has been criticized for not staying Power Metal. Tony is like meh don't care. I love Tony & Tuomas because they both will push boundaries. They both go meh we do what we want. I love their bromance.
I believe that was after firing Sami Vanska not after Tarja.
i love Tony. first time i saw Nightwish Live was in Seattle 2013 it was also the First time i had ever heard Sonata Arctica. they impressed me but i loved how in the middle of it Tony was going of on a rambling speech and said "Apparently Tony has nothing important left to say so if you would all please say shut the F up Tony" so we did then he claimed it was to chaotic so he guided us word by word then proclaimed "How Rude" before going straight into the next song.... they were so much fun
The _"We were here!"_ part is, to me, the most primal, visceral motivation for any form of human artistic expression. Why did the Cro-Magnon paint cavewalls? Why do people carve their names into stones, and trees, on elevator doors and bathroom tiles? Why do artists create? In the end, after we're gone, this is all that remains of us: a physical mark of our brief time we spent on Earth, so that we might not be forgotten.
C'mon my friend
And now...THE POET AND THE PENDULUM
and Master, Passion Greed, honestly more Tarja then Poet and the pendulum
@@1982jeepcj8 probably
But Floor is more powerful
@@erasmorappa4218 Why even bother comparing Floor and Tarja? They're both amazing!
As long as he brings the tissues
Oh oh 😂
Yeeesss !!! you finally did this reaction!!! ..the greatest show on earth..not only for the band performance..the pyros..the led screens..the fireworks..but also for the meaning of the song..its the evolution of earth and life..watch it again and pay close attention to the led screens..they change with every part of the song..picturing the process of evolution..right at the end many different faces are shown representing us..the last book of the library..humans..this is not just a song..this is a truly master piece
I love the part where little Lucy of the Afar appears in the song, the background on fire. The animals running from the human destruction.
They did a marvelous work including the images to make more vivid the feeling and emotion of each part of this masterpiece.
@@Amesthys yeah..even growls from floor to represent the first humas are great..everything well placed in every part of the song..
The title refers to the evolution of life and the brief moment humans have to shine, and a plea to use it well. The spoken voice it not Marco, it is the great evolutionary biologist and pro-rationality author Richard Dawkins. Like many symphonic metal bands, Nightwish are committed to the idea that human lives would be better ruled by reason instead of superstition.
Hiawatha Goldstein man I read origin of species by charles darwin because of this song LMAO
Richard Dawkins teaches lies, not reason. There is no logic to his teaching. It is nonsense. The only logical answer to life is God, which is not superstition. It is a shame that Nightwish promote Dawkins. Their music is great but they are ignorant about the origins of life, just like many brainwashed people.
@@paulviggers9106 oof you really think evolution and gods can't be together? And yes gods I'm a Heathen or trying to be one, it's a lot of work and research. So you're a mythic literalist you're exactly why all theists get bundled together. At the end of the day that's what the stories about our gods are myths to be interpeted as metafores not reality. If you can't see that evolution could be a product of the gods what's the point? You really think your god created a perfect world from scratch? I think the gods created the beginnings of a world and that nature and evolution did the rest.
@@paulviggers9106 K.
@@paulviggers9106
wow.
that takes some balls to call nonsense and brainwashing to sience instead to people which are believing in a mythological book like the bible as the true word of the only true god.
which ist just that.
a mythological book, a collection of books , randomly put together by a pope how he saw fit.
A mythos same like the edda and many many other myths of the creation of earth and life, each culture and religion has their own.
Why christians always thinking that they are something special?
You are not.
Just one religion and path of many other.
Science is science.
Religion has a completely different approach.
Nothing wrong with that.
i am a spiritual person myself.
But I would never dare to say that science is just a way to brainwash people.
Next : The Poet and the Pendulum (live at Wembley) 🖤👍
I can't wait !🤘🖤☺️
Yes. He is ready for this...
@@chewie2648 Are you sure? He needs to buy a big box of tissues first.
@@ooO0VicariouS0Ooo I think we all need to buy a big box of tissues 😉 This song makes me cry every time I listen to it. Masterpiece ! 🖤 He is ready for this song👍
Indeed, Poet and the Pendulum really hits harder... in the best way possible.
Next: "Weak Fantasy" from the same concert.
+++
Yes please
best female voice ever in history
so overrated man 😂😅
OTE x OTE overrated?
@@otexote8954 every body has a different opinion and taste in music luckely. 😜. But if someone knows her vocal technique it is floor. When she sings emotions happening with a lot of us fans. I have that with no other artists. ❤️🤘
@@sanderhoogeland9161 Well, if you rate someone as the best female voice ever in history, I think 'overrated' is a fair interpretation. She's fantastic, super talented, has a nice tone to her voice, can switch well and perform in many styles and she's a humble person. But none of that makes her the best, that's so super subjective. There's women that go higher, that go lower, that have more grit, are even more angelic, more versed in opera or rap or vocal slides. Floor is just fantastic because she does all these things to a very high level. But she can't compete with people who do only 1 thing and studied and trained it to perfection. I doubt most opera singers could switch to growling though.
@@bararobberbaron859 I think that a lot of fans are a bit in love with Floor ( so am I and i am straight ) and you know what happens when someone is in love..... But it is a marvelous feeling so please let it be 😜
Back in 1999 i was into metal : Priest, Maiden, Metallica, Helloween.... Then happen to see the concert "From wishes to eternity" from Nightwish... And was like i started to see in color high definition. Before metal was great! Yes! But was like a black and white picture. After that dvd show from Nightwish back in 1999 i really stated to see color. Since then, my favorite band...
At 20:30 Metal Mozart gave you some Metal Bach. :)
That harpsichord gets me every time!
I know, right!
That's so friggin great on so many levels 🤣
"I hope I'm protected enough" made me lol.
Shudder Before the Beautiful from the same show please....... Such a great opener and such a lovely response.
I've watched this a million times but always get me in tears 😢
Weak Fantasy from the same concert and 7 days to the wolves from wembley! Go!
You're absolutely right..enter sandman Metallica 🤘 this band is so freaking good❤️
You're only the second reactor to catch that Metallica riff! That part of the song is the evolution of music starting with ancient chanting and ending with electronic music!
I've got a big question in my mind about this part, from the first time I heard this song.
Maybe someone from Finland could help me.
Before the Enter Sandman's riff, there is the Tuomas part which is From Bach "Toccata and Fugue in D minor".
The fact is, when I was young there was a cartoon which explains the history of humanity, from the very beginning (from the big bang to now).
The opening of this cartoon was the "Toccata and Fugue in D minor", but it was a french cartoon, I don't know if it was played in other countries, and if Tuomas used it as a tribute, or if it's just a coincidence, as the song is the story of the world.
I'm gonna ask this in other "Greatest show on earth" reactions, because it's really something I want to know.
This is the opening I speak about for curious people: th-cam.com/video/dfnLa4B-Pbg/w-d-xo.html
@@ooO0VicariouS0Ooo I was going to mention that no one seems to catch the Toccata and Fugue part (one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written). I have no idea about the cartoon but it is probably just a coincidence...
It's sad no reactionist catches the Bach riff done in the most epic way possible.
I don't think it's hommage to a french cartoon show though :) although i remember a similar show "es war einmal... der mensch" in germany (and other 'once upon a time..' cartoons). Don't remember any of the music they had.
@@ooO0VicariouS0Ooo first I thought you meant Fantasia (original, not 2000), but nope! I don't know what that cartoon is!
There is Floor and there are ... aaaa??? ... O yes Floor , and Floor and Floor ...
Tarja is really good also.
i can get not liking Anette that much, but i like a few studio songs with her at least...
I'd like to call her Paradox, actually. Because somehow, she's always on the ceiling.
"There is Floor and there are ... aaaa??? ... " Irene.... ;)
Supposedly, Floor's parents were there close to the front and during the show Floor tried not to make eye contact with them, fearing she would start to cry. And damn Floor's sister looks like Floor!!!!! Crazy!!!!
Irene (Floors sister) is a great great singer as well. Check them both out on Ayreon.
In Buenos Aires, they played this song and then "Ghost Love Score"... real troopers.
Hi from France !! finaly we can see your reaction to Greatest Show on Earth !! you are "Nightwished" now ! :) have a great day !!
Endless form most beautiful. The first album with Floor. ❤️🤘
This is not just a song.
This is a Hymn to the Human specie singed by the best feamale voice of all time.
OMG! I love this song! Is amazing! Nightwish❤
How cool is it to start a song with the sun still up and end the song with the sun down and it's dark. This song is epic. This band is epic. I only discovered them for myself a week ago. Wish I would have known about them sooner.
Now you know why it's called The Greatest Show on Earth!!!
Brindle Chase The greatest show on earth is life
he have no clue
You also heard "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" by J.S. Bach.
I am so happy that you did this..... and NOW... it’s absolutely mandatory you do next: Poet and the Pendulum ....
I am so glad that you finally see it and felt it! Nightwish is in fact the Greatest Show on Earth!
good afternoon. in my opinion the best show of Nightwish. greetings from brazil
Powerful Reactions thanks for the gobsmacked reaction!💛👍I can't wait to see your reaction to Poet and The Pendulum!😊
Floors parents were watching this gig in Finland and cryied since they were so proud off their doughter.
Hello from Slovakia ....I love Nightwish 20 years, pls more reactions from new album Human:Nature ....Music, Pan, Shoemaker, Tribal or Endlessness... all songs are amazing, insane, masterpiece and beautiful and Floor ist .... you now what i meen 🤟🤟🤟
The crowd cheer at the end had to shake the ground. Massive!
wonderfull reaction. i enjoyed it as much as you did. Thanks for playing it till the very end.
Their songs are scores. Hence the name ghost love score. Toumas is a musical genius
Thank you for your reaction! Im a finnish Nightwish fan, and I was there in Tampere concert to see them alive. It was awsome, I will never forget that experience. Nightwish💙💙
Omg. So excited for this reaction. Such a beautiful masterpiece 😍
Ty get goosebumps everytime i watch this it was great
First of all, congrats for the 10k subs. This song hits me really hard and makes me very emotional everytime I watch/hear it. Watery eyes and running nose during 20+ minutes. It has this powerful meaning that invites you to reflect a lot. "We were here", those three words hits you.
Thank you for this wonderful video! Really worth all the wait and preparing, aye! 🤘 To be completely honest, I'm a little surprised your head didn't just pop off from your shoulders and roll to the ground, but hey, that would've been pretty unhealthy, so you were lucky! I dislocated my jawbone at this very concert, totally worth it though!
It's been really fun following your journey with Nightwish - this isn't the end, but a milestone for sure. Ten thousand congratulations for 10k subsribers, all well deserved! Here's for the next ten thousand, cheers! 🍻🥳
Yes it was "Enter Sandman" from Metallica. But did you noticed before, there was a part of Johann Sebastian Bach "Menuett"?
Fugue D minor :)
Please react live to Buenos Aires concert
Jaaa!
Did you notice that the chord progressions from the piano intro return for the ”We were here” climax?
Floor barely starts singing that beautiful aria/intro and I'm already crying...
PS: there are times where you look like literally blown away by Floor and Marko's voices, is kind of hilarious to watch that reaction
excellent reaction. really enjoyed! can't wait to see the next one.
Many People: I feel I just listened to a whole album.
Nightwish: Hold my Greatest Show on Earth.
Glad you stayed with it to the very end. Many bail out early thinking their viewers are in a hurry or something, and we aren't.
Well done!
The moment right after the "green growl section" when Floor takes two steps back and start to windmill...Oh boy, oh boy!
Absolutely fantastic reaction. Again, congratulations on 10000 subscribers, you most definitely deserve it. Also, your new microphone is great.
The part where you heard enter sandman refers to evolution of music. If you pay attention to those few seconds, it goes from classical music, to rock, to electronic music.
Crazy 😊
This was not a song. It is a work of art that surpasseth understanding.
Greatest Show On Earth is not Nightwish being presumptuous, it is the life on this planet. The incredible diversity and Forms Most Beautiful.
This made my day!
*has sunglasses and a neck cushion* god I hope I'm protected enough
Oh hell no, but you're certainly the most prepared reactor to this song by a mile, solid effort 🤘
😂😂🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for sharing your reaction to this masterpiece! Nightwish gives me goosebumps every song!
Kai's drumming. My 4 fav drummers, Jukka, Kai, Tommy Portimo Sonata Arctica, Alex Kamelot. Kai never ceases to amaze me and may he NEVER cease to amaze me.
Yeah, that song holds so many little secrets you don't get at first, and its meaning is the best thing about it, I think.
There's still many incredible surprises to come in shorter songs though, so don't ever worry about that with this band. ;)
Powerful reaction, Powerful band! Congrats on 10k subs!
Goosebumps. Tears. Gratitude. Exhilaration.
Nightwish.
I enjoyed the super intro, ha ha
Further more, one of the things I like about reaction videos, is to share my enjoyment of music and other content with others. And it's so wonderful when people like yourself so obviously enjoy the content you watch. Thank you for sharing the moment.
Of course when a reactor dislikes something I like, I can find joy in hearing another point of view, so yeah. It's probably more than that.
I am going to see theese guys in Tampere 22/4 2022. Cant wait!! Thanks for a beautiful reaction.
i really like your Nightwish reactions because it for me seems like you seriously listen too the song. and of course since im a huge Nightwish fan myself i like what you say ;-)
Great reaction dude. Respect from 🇬🇧
This song with this performance is so incredibly good. No more words, just speechless
The Enter Sandman riff immediately proceeded the vocal line about man trying to understand a single grain of sand - that grain of sand is a metaphor for the earth, a la Carl Sagan's pale blue dot. I have always wondered if it was Tuomas' idea, since he is such a mastermind when it comes to composition - or perhaps it was Empu's?
okay before I even review your reaction “it’s about time!” Here we go!
My favourite live performance from them is phantom of the opera with Tarja Turunen
20:20 is a reference to a music from Bach :) this song is so great ^^
thx for your great reaction and grats to your 10k subs, have a nice day and pls stay safe, grts from the dutch cheesehead living in germany, member of the nightwish army, orange legion
I just mis two things... The poet and the pendulum and the new album👍 keep up the good work😁👍👍

Congratulations for your 10k+ subscribers, you deserve it. 👍🤘
Damn so beautiful that it hurts! :-))))) Love from a proud Dutchy! xoxo
This song - this performance brings me to tears every time.
Neighbor, "Did I hear you refer to yourself as the greatest show on Earth while in the shower?"
😂😂😂😂😂
Goosebumbs.. Every time 💙
loved seeing you prepared for headbang and waiting for the song to kick in and it hit you while your defense was down. 😂😂.
Been since then been able to see Nightwish live concerts with Tarja, Anette and Floor. And hope that this coronavirus gets under control so we can ejoy again Nightwish Live again!!!
glad you did this one, it's one of my favorites. I have a B.S. in biology and really appreciate Nightwish's admiration of biology and science, so this song means a lot to me. Same with 'ad astra' from their new album too.
Weak Fantasy and Sleeping Sun from the same concert. It´s necessary!
Floor's parents were in public this special evening 😊👌😍🎩
Great reaction PF ! I really think you nailed it by saying " Not only was this the Greatest Show on Earth, but possibly they
are the Greatest Band on Earth ! ". Most certainly Yes ! I would say that personally, i would put them up level with the likes
of possibly Queen, certainly different style, but the same extreme talent, passion & instrumentation ...
Love and enjoy Your reactions !
You need to listen this song one more time and pay close attention to lyrics and screen in background.
Song is split in several parts.
Creation of Solar system.
First life form that we all are originated from.( LUCA-last universal common ancestor )
Life leaving ocean and thriving on the land.
And then humans came..
P.S. Now you will understand their new album Human/Nature much better.
wow dude, i have seen so many reaction videos to this song and only you and one more channel(cant remember who it was) commented on Enter Sandman from Metallica part, points for you bro good job.
i saw 3rector who caught it but yeah from like 20+ not much lol
Come on, I had to 😁🤘🤘👌
Thank you.
I can't remember who it was, but someone actually picked out the banjo part. I was impressed.
Finally you did it!!!!
Thank you! @ 21:26 you are the first reaction I've heard mention other styles. As the song highlights the evolution of man, the hidden theme is the evolution of music. You can hear the harpsichord of Bach's Minuet in G M, followed by Metallica's Enter Sandman and the eventual house music. That hidden gem alone blew my mind.
You made a statement - "look how happy they are to perform in Finland" and great they are live. We are fortunate to be alive at this time to be able to witness and enjoy such wonderful groups today - I am grateful for the internet every day, it has changed how we are able to consume music - It is wonderful to be able to learn about new groups so easily and share the same information... WE are able to enjoy a show that was IN FINLAND! On demand! That is fantastic!
Don't you see? They just show us a summary of everything since the bigbang. First fireworks was it, then life start on earth. So the greatest show is everything hapend, from the beginning to now. Very poetic and artistic observation from Nightwish. Indeed they are the best ;)
