      @@richardmead5969 Kai is technically much better than Jukka. Kai is one of the world best metal drummers. Jukka is not as talented on technical side and speed of hands. He is still very good drummer, and the undetstanding how to play in different parts to make song better and strengthening many places the music. In that sense hr is not below Kai, only technical part, fastness, wrist working etc..and Jukka is more "cinematic" when playing, thats why so loved...

    This is not just my favourite Nightwish song, it is my favourite song ever. I still struggle to listen to this all the way through without being brought to tears. I adore how intelligent it is. There's so much going on in it that it takes a number of listens just to hear those nuances. Lyrically it's the work of a genius poet. No more, no less.

    The seemingly repetitive keyboard notes in the first few minutes are reminiscent of the trillions of random combinations it took to evolve a viable RNA / DNA. Each combination attempt took a few nanoseconds each, but given "a hundred million centuries" something finnally clicked.. .and life took a foot hold... resulting in endless forms most beautiful and wonderful.

    I completely agree about this masterpiece. I consider it the greatest composition of my long lifetime, replacing “The Gates of Delirium” by Yes, which held the spot since the 80’s. Definitely my favorite song of all-time. Where TGOD covered war and Peace, TGSOE covered the creation of the universe to the likely demise of mankind in a mere 21 minutes. The final composition “The Understanding” performed by the London Symphony to which they took their well-deserved bows, is the hero’s theme they deserved. Tuomas is just an empath who writes to our heart and hits the mark in every single song. What a treat to watch with you. Thank you, my friend!

    I found Nightwish at 61 yrs old after growing up through 60's 70's and 80's. Nothing after that ever moved me. Until a former band mate introduced me to Nightwish but the introduction of Floor to the band blew me away and have remained my all time greatest band since. That over my previous fave bands of Uriah Heep,, BTO and Pink Floyd. The Wacken 2013 festival performance still moves, me. But this track whether at Wembley or Tampere it just kicks rear end.
    The track Shoemaker off the Human Nature album is stunning (official video). Then performance of it at Hellfest 2022 just awesome... Particularly the end. Floor is just too awesome... Goddess of Metal....

    A brief history of the universe, of the earth, of life, of humans, of technology, of music (did you notice 😊), all rolled into a 21 minute masterpiece, the end of which is marked by 12,000 metalheads observing perfect order for an Emeritus Professor of Evolutionary Biology to recite Charles Darwin. That's spine-shiveringly powerful!!!
    For me, Poet and the Pendulum from this same concert is my favourite metal song of all time, but Greatest Show is Tuomas' magnum opus, his genius! Did you notice the nods to music from history (Throat singing, tribal fireside, Bach's minute in G, Vivaldi, Metallica, techno beat)... they basically spent 30 seconds ish taking us through a brief history of music (immediately following you saying "sounds like Halloween). Some will say Tampere is the best version to watch, but this Wembley version has far superior sound and mixing in my opinion. It is definitely worth watching Tampere as well because it's a bigger concert, more open and with more spectacular pyro and visuals.
    My next suggestion has to be Nightwish's rendition of Pink Floyd's High Hopes (Live End of an Era)... I've waited so long for you to react to that one

    There are so many “hidden gems” that Tuomas included in the lyrics & the music.
    14:23 The musical tributes include animals, African tribal drumming, then through the Gregorian chant in Dies Irae (Mozart), Bach’s Minuet in G Major followed by his famous Fugue in D Minor, followed by American banjo music, Metallica’s Enter Sandman riff , finally ending in Rap/Hip-Hop and 90s dance music.
    Pretty Good isn’t it?!!
    You will enjoy Tampere 2015 too! 😊

      I've discovered a few:
      Easter Eggs of Tuomas:
      A single grain of sand.
      “To see a World in a Grain of Sand. And a Heaven in a Wild Flower.
      Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand. And Eternity in an hour”. By William Blake.
      Sandman, Metallica riff.
      Sand in an hourglass, the flashing lights as a passage of time, day/night/day/night.
      More than the sand grains of Sahara.
      Umm, the Phillip Glass style piano at the beginning, glass is made from sand...
      Haha!
      Another deep one:
      The almost throw away line: ”Do as you would be done by”?
      A character in the book, by Charles Kingsley, “The Water Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby”.
      Mrs. Do-as-you-would-be-done-by. A reminder to be nice to other people.
      It was written as part satire in support of Charles Darwin's “On The Origin of Species”.
      A childhood story of love, class difference, morals.
      Ocean Born, Tuomas?

    This song is beyond masterpiece from Tuomas, our metal Mozart 🤘I was at their last concert this year, June 17th and this song was the last one. I tell you, if you ever have a chance going to see them live, go! I was was speechless, overwhelmed, when I drove back to home (Oulu city) from Vaasa city where the concert was. They have absolutely fantastic live shows and I cannot find proper words to describe what I experienced. Everyone metal fan there were such polite people and having good time experiencing Nightwish. I am so waiting for their newest album maybe released 2024. I have all their studio albums since 1996 incuding -96 very rare The Collector's Edition album. Keep going reacting 🤘

    The title of the issue is taken from a 2009 book by evolutionary biologist and atheist writer Richard Dawkins, about the evidence for biological evolution. Dawkins also contributes to the album. Holopainen explained to HMV in March 2015: "I wrote him a letter a little over a year ago and explained what ideas we had for this album, mainly about evolution. Since one of the songs goes straight to one of his books, it felt like a perfect match to try and recite him on the album. A few weeks later, he sent me an email accepting the invitation."
    "Later in 2014, we recorded his parts at Hats Off Studios, Oxford. This is a huge honour for us, as Dawkins is one of our greatest heroes and his writings have been a huge inspiration for the album."

    Hey Jeff. A masterpiece ,a magnum opus. Inspired by the Richard Dawkins book of the same name, it is about the formation of the solar system and the evolution of life on Earth.
    Yes ,Troy's part starts with EBOW here. That's one of the differences between this concert and the other awesome full version video at Tampere 2015. There he starts with Irish Low Whistle. Tampere is also outdoors with fireworks, but no Richard Dawkins on stage. The quote from Darwin's The Origin of Species he does live here, is read over the top of the credits. Check out that version later.
    Animal noises is correct, the emergence of mammals and humans.
    There is even an evolution of music section, playing several pieces of music including Minuet in G major by Christian Petzold, Toccata and Fuge=ue in D minor by J.S. Bach, Gregorian chant from the choir, the Enter Sandman riff and EDM.
    Some of the references :
    5 sections of the song, the first is entitled 4.6. As in 4.6 billion years. The age of the planet.
    L.U.C.A. - last universal common ancestor. The last life form from which all current life on Earth descends.
    Lucy of the Afar. AT the time of discovery in 1974, the oldest human ancestor remains found, dating to about 3.2 million years.
    God of the gaps. Mankind would create a god to explain something they came across that was beyond their understanding.

    @Stratele Studios: What blows my mind is that Tuomas has written a song about the 14.8 billion years of universal history, and boiled that song down into a mere 24 minutes -- in a song that is an ode to the sheer awe and beauty of life on Earth.
    And here is what was said at the end, by Dr. Richard Dawkins:
    "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds, it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state, from which the vast majority have never stirred?" ~ Dr. Richard Dawkins, _The Greatest Show On Earth_

    This song is without a doubt their finest, epic, masterpiece! It brings tears to my eyes at the end. I know if I saw them in concert, I would very emotional throughout the whole concert!

    i’ve always loved this version more over tamperes… 1) intro with the e.bow is mesmerising 2) intro feels more agile 3) ending with mr dawkins and 4) i was there!!! 😊
    love you mentioning at the start “floors vocals here are very cool” and me thinking… hold your ears!! 😂
    all about this song is amazing, lyrics are so beautifully written, so meaningful… and the entire composition until the end… that ending with the orchestra always brings me to tears 😢 such a journey!

    Excellent reaction again Jeff... what a song & meaning.... BUT, do yourself a huuuge favour, react (or at least watch in your own time) the version from Tampere , Nightwish home country, own fans, bigger stadium, more fireworks !!,,, its stunning ... I guarantee nobody will mind if you do a reaction to this version , enjoy... 🤘🤘🤘

    Tuomas brain should be studied by science,he is just not normal in his ability to compose these masterpieces

      "Music is what emotions sound like".
      I think that he is a "Highly Sensitive Person", (that goes for Floor too),
      the love of nature, "I love not man the less, but nature more",
      maybe even a bit of synesthesia: "Terribly sweet perfume deafens me", from Song of Myself.

    Thanks Jeff. I knew you would love this one! You really should do the full concert from Tampere, as this has some songs you haven't seen and is visually perhaps the ultimate Nightwish experience! Love your reactions - keep 'em coming! All the best from the UK.

    Now that I have watched mostly all of your reactions let me tell you, that I am absolutely stunned by them. You are right, everybody has his own so called 'best nightwish song' himself. For most of us especially me there is the rule: The best NW-song I've ever heard is the one I just listened to.
    Let me apprechiate your wonderful journey thru the times once again and mention, that there is another concert with lots of surprises and some of my favourite songs like Stargazers .... it is the concert of Tampere in 2019. Maybe - I hope - you will get back to your successful reactions with it?
    Thank you a lot for all the work you did and see you again hopefully! Greetings from Germany! Oh, first part of my restlife bucktlist which is a Soloconcert of Floor will acur on the 1st of June in Eindhoven/NL - I will be there and am simply f***ing excited like never b4 in my past 64 years..

    This is their "Magnum opus" to date. As a patriotic Finn l prefer the Tampere version, but this is great too with the real Richard Dawkins. I saw them live 16.6 2023 at Kitee Rantakenttä, Finland. They played this with the real fireworks (like Tampere 2015). Floor was very heavily pregnant there, but still they delivered a full two-hours show. 😎👍

  • @majbrat
    @majbrat ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It's awesome in the true definition of that word.
    Lyrically, there are so many little things he included for the history of our earth and us humans, then the music. Everyone playing at the top of their game.
    Then vocals 😊 speechless.
    Just super! The mini music history in there from the harpischord, to classical, to the Metallica Riff - was so fun.
    Metal Mozart - no question.

    Great reaction, this song is such an adventure everytime I see someone react to it. And calling her a siren just before she adds some primeval growls.... I would love it if you react to songs by Auri (Tuomas, Troy and Johanna) and maybe solo performance of Floor in 2021 at Live in Amsterdam, Face Your Demons (song originally by her first band, After Forever).

    Since the 70's my favorite song has been Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". It wasn't until 2015 that a winner was found, this song by Nightwish. And this song by Nightwish is still at number one.
    There are a few variations of the song. The album version is 24 minutes long. This version that ends the concert is about 20 minutes long and if they play it in the middle of the concert, it was about 10-11 minutes long as I remember.

    • @stpfs9281
      @stpfs9281 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love the orchestral version too!
      You get to hear the intricacies going on in the background, the short solos of various instruments, the ominouus brass, the triumphant strings.

  • @lujalainen1

    Thank you for your great and knowledgeable reaction. Not sure if you're a 'real' reactor because you didn't take up 75% of the screen and you even removed yourself on 18 min so we could see the celebration of the crew and their audience. This is so much appreciated by me, you've earned a new subscriber.

    This is the second part of my evidence for Tuomas being an alchemist. He gets depressed, channels that into his writing and produces _The_ _Poet_ _and_ _the_ _Pendulum;_ then he gets happy again, and produces this! My favourite long-form NW work, and part of what makes EFMB my all-time favourite album from anyone. It was sorta-kinda the closer when we saw them at Wembley last year, but they replaced the final orchestral section with _Ad_ _Astra_ (from their most recent album). My wife and I were both transfixed.

    I can't say it's my favorite in respect of my feeling to other songs, but I would say it is the best their song yet (and performance), and, I would dare to say it's the best song in the history (yet)!

Keep reading those inspiring books, for you know what to with the information, & Floor is the best storyteller to tell it,& you hsve the best band I've ever seen to deliver it musically to your always hungry Fandom for NIGHTWISH!! Cannot wait for the new album!!❤❤❤❤
    Have you done Shoemaker? If not think you will love it. I suggest the studio version, for the video is wondrous! Then later catch the live, or better yet, a twofer!
