Thanks! You gave me an idea for my next suggestion. You liked the first singer, Tom Englund, from the band Evergrey. I suggest you take a listen to one of Evergrey's newest songs "Falling from the Sun." Use the official video, it's fire, literally.
Thank you so much! Look for it soon, lady 🔥
I'll always take your advice.
@@VocalCitizen Or the song "In orbit"by Evergrey featuring Floor Jansen. :)
@@henkraadmaar4072 And Floor was pregnant when they filmed it, just starting to show :)
Oh hell yeah...EVERGREY 🎉 Or the song Cold Dreams featuring Jonas Renkse, the other guy you liked in this video together with Tom Englund.
My wife and I traveled from Chicago to go to this concert, and it was amazing! The whole trip (which included 2 days in Paris, 2 in Tilburg and 1 in Antwerp) probably cost less that two tickets to see Taylor Swift (not that I would go to that). The tickets to this sold out so fast that they had to add two matinee shows, which it how we managed to get our tickets.
Ain't this a epic gathering of musicians ,vocalist and music aficionado's,it's everytime again,a wonder to get this together every 2 years.🤘
I was there and it was fantastic!
There are so may talented people on that stage that I don't know how long it would take to name them all. Love this, and love me some Ayreon.
There's people from many different countries in that crowd. Every new Ayreon show sells out in minutes.
With the demand for tickets they could do full week of shows and sell out every one.
People from 60 different countries attended last year's concerts
Again, it’s not even possible to imagine the live experience. I was in tears at the end of this one, in person. The emotions are so strong. I saw two of these concerts, as a gift to myself for my birthday the month after.
I love the warmth and empathy by the crowd
MAKE US WHOLE, MIGRATOR SOUL, FOLLOW ME HOME COMPLETE THE CIRCLE!
WE MUST SURVIVE, RESTORE OUR LIVES, THE WAY I'LL SHOW COMPLETE THE CIRCLE!
Let's give a shout out to Johan, the bass player. I don't know which bass guitar he is playing, but it sounds epic. It completes the song.
Wow! Talent overload! Amazing 😮
01011001 Live Beneath the Waves is the Sep 2023 concert. They played the entire 01011001 album, plus a few more songs, closing the 4 song encore with the first ever live performance of The Day That The World Breaks Down. The Sixth Extinction is the last song on the album, and closed the main set at this show,

No Floor at this concert, she gave birth about 3 weeks after it.
Yup. Brittney Slayes was asked by Arjen to sing all of Floor's parts from the album. No pressure!
Great song. Arjen Lucassen projects are gifts that keep on giving.
One of the singers you have asked about is Jonas Renkse and I highly suggest Ayreon - Comatose (from Universe Live concert), where he sings with Anneke Van Giersbergen. Very short song for Ayreon, but very effective mood changing song.
this was such an overwhelming and awesome performance to have witnessed live. They used surround sound, so the music was really was washing over you, sweeping you off your feet. The vocalists whose names you're wondering about are all Swedish: the opening vocalist is Tom Englund (band: Evergrey), the gentleman with the long dark hair and the mesmerizing voice is Jonas Renske (Katatonia), and the vocalist with the glasses is Daniel Gildenlöw (Pain of Salvation) 🤘
Just filmed an Evergray reaction today... stay tuned.
He capital H is indeed a maestro, a genius. The God of Prog. This song makes me so happy. The joy of all of them experiencing a tremendous high out of pure joy performing together. This performance shows how the world should work. But that's a completely different story. This is life expanding music. Vitamines for the soul. Extremely healthy to listen to. Arjen, You have a gift!!!!
The opening vocalist is Tom Englund from Evergrey. Floor is featured on there song/ video In Orbit . This is one of many Floor guest features with metal groups.
Ah, a Hurley-Gurley that is a stringed instrument and is played like a bow, but is is a rotating drum that generates the sound. Lady playing is Patty Gurdy.
Thank you, doll...
Nice to see Brittney Slayes and Simone. And the organ!!!!
Im convinced that the best metal comes from Europe.
9:00 "He's definitely got a Magnetism to him.." Did someone say magnetism? Is this a subliminal hint abt your next reaction VC? 😁 --> from the Ayreon Universe Live 2017 concert: "Ayreon - Magnetism" - ruclips.net/video/4V3lGTA8Mpo/видео.html
We were there at this fantastic show in Ayreon City (Tilburg) and I can tell you that for us, Jonas Renske really was the star of this song. Also notice his growls in the earlier part with all of the songsters taking turns 🤘
Thanks so much...
8:42 Jonas Renkse is playing The Historian (of Forever race)
14:38 Daniel Gildenlöw from Pain of Salvation - another crazy cool prog band - you definitely should check them out.
Nice. Thanks.
PS. Mike Oldfield Crime of Passion is lovely as well for tissues
As with every Ayreon album, it is a concept album with each character being portrayed by one singer. Unlike the previous album The Theory of Everything, it marks a return to science fiction and the Ayreon storyline; it acts, in particular, as a prequel to 01011001, making it the first album in the storyline's chronology. In The Source, the Alphans, ancestors of humanity, try to prevent the extinction of their race from machines who took control of the entire planet Alpha, by sending a select few Alphans into space so they can attempt to start anew on a distant world. After fleeing their planet Alpha, the survivors (forever) find themselves on the water planet Y (01011001) where they slowly but surely lose their emotions, as a result of the increasingly influential technology: emotions are no longer necessary, and so civilization loses them. They are unable to find a solution to the problem on their own planet, until they come up with the idea of sending their DNA to another planet as an experiment. This eventually works; With a comet they send their own DNA towards Earth, from which humanity subsequently arises. Humanity is Forever's experiment to experience emotions again.
Things were going well on Earth for millennia, but things are going downhill over the course of the 21st century; Humans are also starting to become technologically developed, and machines are taking over more and more of daily life. Humanity is slowly suffering the same fate as Forever. A war ensues, and scientists - in a last ditch effort - develop a time machine that will send a message to the Middle Ages to warn humanity. (see album The Final Experiment)
What a story!!! Craziness...
Hell yeah this was the show I was at well I was at one of them at least, so I do not know all of the singers. But Hansi Kürsch was the one standing next to Damian Wilson on that balcony thingy halfway through the song and I know him! River Of Time from this concert is a duet between Damian and Hansi so that is a great song for if you love both voices (like I do). His band is Blind Guardian which I also had the pleasure to see live in fact it was in the same venue as the Ayreon shows. I think I already recommended a few Guardian songs but I am just so excited for the day you discover them.
Or The Age of Shadows with Marco Hietala and Floor Jansen from an earlier concert. I would also love to see some Blind Guardian on the channel.
@@karolbartos8869 Age Of Shadows is indeed great for the Marco, Floor and Hansi combo but the version of this concert is more accurate to the album version. Choices.
@@alexdoorn234 that is true
My requests list is 1,000 miles long, but yes. Guardian is coming. Hang in... 😜
Haven't seen if anyone else told you this, but the guy in glasses is Daniel Gildenlöv.
I was there 😅 see me twice
Thanx for reacting to this great song! It's such a shame that Arjen always writes such short songs.
I like your interpreation of the song which comes pretty close to mine.
I've been not to this particular show, but to the first one on saturday, and I can confirm that these shows are even more overwhelming when you're part of the crowd.
Please keep on reacting to Ayreon and power/ symphonic metal.
I will..
I want to do a special shout out to Britney Slayes of Unleashed the Archers. She is the lady in the black T-Shirt and black cargo pants center stage at the beginning of the song. Not only did she get to sing her Star One (another Arjen project) song Fate of Man (inspired by the Terminator movies) Arjen asked her to fill for Floor (who was too close to her birth date to participate) and sing all her parts from the 01011001 album in the show. That should be an indication of how fantastic a singer she is. She is like the unholy offspring of Geoff Tate and Bruce Dickinson. Unleash the Archers are like a modern version of an old school power metal band. Going to see them in concert next Friday in Boston opening for Powerwolf, another fantastic power metal band. Awakening is the usual introduction video for Unleash the Archers, ruclips.net/video/gqUPGa15Oto/видео.htmlsi=P5crnOTGjQIXqHUz, but I also love Time Stands Still, ruclips.net/video/liOpF1oHhu4/видео.htmlsi=AoMElv38yxxqUJuN. Arjen discovered Brittney from a video on Unleash the Archers YT channel of Brittney singing Queen of the Reich in a karoke bar in Scotland after doing a whole show earlier in the night. ruclips.net/video/280DRqoGyLw/видео.htmlsi=-rMNoba1DTYzrGTr Pretty impressive for a recording on a cell phone!
Also love Simone and Anneke's outfits here. There was a running joke among some commenters where Arjen was like, ok everyone lets wear black for the show and Simone and Anneke were like nope, we want to wear something sparkly! They do look pretty fantastic.
Archers and Powerwolf sound like an amazing combo.
@@juliannewarren5466 Very Stoked. I have seen both of them before and they both put on a great show!
Additional information to my priority request (see native Howl reaction) of "Strange machines" by The gathering:
Anneke van Giersbergen is the woman you see at 14:27
The requested video shows her back in 1996
hell yeah, this song is amazing, the dude in the glasses you asked is called daniel and his band is one of the greatest prog metal bands of all time, listen to Pain of salvation - martius nauticus ii live on RUclips, it will give you goosebumps
I have been going to recommend Evergrey to you Tom was the first singer
They have a great YT channel full of music videos
They have not long released Album 14
Tom also sings in Silent Skies which is a more gentle type of music but his voice is so sultry
Hope you give Evergrey a listen there are no bad EG songs
Posting tomorrow!!!
You asked what character Jonas Renske was playing. I'm afraid I'm not sure, but he is part of The Forever - the race of immortal beings that live on Planet Y (01011001). They were originally known as Alphans and lived on the planet Alpha which became uninhabitable once they gave complete control of the environment to Artificial Intelligence (as per The Day That The World Breaks Down and Everybody Dies). They were upset when humanity on Planet Earth wiped themselves out as we were their descendants, as they put their DNA on the comet that hit the Earth and killed the dinosaurs (the fifth extinction).
That's so dope...
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 that first singer the band Evergray has had floor singing with his band
Evergray in orbit with floor jansen
Just did an Evergray reaction today! I'll be exploring their work soon.
🤘🤘🤘
That singer with the long dark hair and sinister voice is Jonas Renkse. He's the lead singer of Katatonia, a Swedish doom metal band.
Thanks for that! 🙃
Wait, we still haven't done UtA here on VC? I saw Brittany and I was like, huh? And searched vocalcitizen unleash the archers. Awakening is EVERYONE'S first listen. But ayreon fate of man is good
I've never taken the straight path. I have a tendency to wander aimlessly through a musical forest. But I make sure to touch every tree... 😉
Have you done 'Fate of Man' from this show yet?
That song just kicks your ass, and Brittany Slayes gives an all-timer of a vocal performance..
Not yet. Gettin' there...
Too much talent at once, but I love it!🤘🎸Arjen and Tuomas are the two greatest modern composers!🤘🎸
Absolutely.
Wow, look at YOU !!
Racking up the Ayreon reactions behind my back.
For me, it's truly a tossup between Epica (such an intense experience) and Ayreon live (also right up there on the intensity scale)
I think this is your first from the 2023 Live Beneath the Waves show. I'm glad you gave the early cuts their due, because this is just beyond my imagination.
I think you asked what the very first instrument was : I believe that the audio-mixing of a cello, synth, bass, and down-tuned guitars.
The first lead lines always reminded me of the sawing of youthful violinists, in search of Jim Carey's Most Annoying Sound in the World,
But a Very WELL EXECUTED youthful sawing.
These end-of-the-concert songs are a binge of talent overload.
I personally Can't Wait until you get to "Fate of Man'. There are so few North AM singers in the Ayreon shows, I just have to
highlight up the ones the feature non-Continentals like Brittney (and Michael Mills).
May your arms tip a full yard pint, and your timbers be shivered.
Scrape the bottom of the m'lasses hogshead for the treacle that numbs.
(not sure why I'm waxing piratey... Anne Bonny, Mary Read and Calico Jack have nothing to do with these songs)
I'm clamber on board for more Ayreon, when you please.
Stand by the braces and man the lines, matey. 🦜
If the ship be sound, let's away! 🗡️
Hi Deb may I suggest The court of the Crimson King by King Crimson, onward and awaken by Yes and Please don’t ask me to dance by Eddi Reader (you’ll need toilet roll/tissue for this one). A slight detour to the regular path which I enjoy your reactions too.
