Timing the fireworks is an art in itself. It's not like someone presses the button at the right moment and the rockets explode at that moment to match the music. They press the button and then the rocket has to travel a way before it explodes at the right moment to the music. This is art.
@@rnowak85 Fireworks can always be volatile. So they may be triggered via MIDI, there is always the possibility that the gun powder or whatever is in them will ignite a tad slower or faster. Some of the fireworks here were on point, a tiny few were a little too late IMO.
@@rnowak85 Midi yes, but It's not that simple. The midi does not know how long the firing takes until the firework takes off nor how long it takes for the firework to travel until explosion. They must be tested and calculated and then programmed to midi to take place much earlier than the beat of the music happens. As we can see, one of them is a bit late so the time of firing and travelling is not perfectly equal in every firework 🙂
Thumbnail Lady looked like she was in a WHOLE OTHER place for a large section of this incredible performance. What a BEAST Floor is, to have the power and endurace to be able to CRUSH this last behemoth of a song at the end of this concert.
NW music is actually a performance and spectacle --- with deep meaning, intelligent poetical lyrics, great important issues with a message to think more...
Great reaction from you. This is a Mammoth of a song. The whole Evolution in one song. No other than Nightwish can or want to do this. Greetings from Northern Finland! 😎🤘🤘🤘
Nice reaction guys. The outro and the spoken words part at the end is part of the song and what makes this song so epic, impactful and uplifting. Tuomas's orchestral score at the end is so beautifully written and is right out of a hero scene from a fantasy movie. It just reinforces the theme of our lives being an adventure and that just by being born we have already achieved victory. When I saw them live back in May the end of the show (Last Ride of the Day, Ghost Love Score, Greatest Show on Earth, Ad Astra) left me with the most amazing feeling of energy and hope. To go out and make a difference in the world. Only band who has done that to me.
It was really a great joy to watch this video with you and I'm glad you did your homework and were in awe of this song. I personally like it if reactors know what the song is about so that they really can appreciate the genius that Tuomas is. Only he can come up with the idea of makeing a song about evolution. WE WERE HEEEERE!!! Chills all over!! Thanks guys!!
Sorry I missed it 😢 Your live stream.. But I watched it afterwards. Enjoyed your emotional response, I love that 💙❤️ I enjoyed it again. Nightwish turns every song into a story, with a message. We must appreciate this, this Band loves Nature 🦋 🏞️ People and the Universe. 🌌🪐 We must all be careful with everything that lives and grows. Love and thanks again from The Netherlands 🌻🇳🇱🌷🙋🏼♀️😘
I can see that you were overwhelmed by this. I have seen it multiple times and I am overwhelmed every time. Terrific reaction to this legendary performance. Thanks. ❤☮🙏
It's worth watching the Wembley version too. Troy plays the cello part at the beginning with his e-bow, the audio is clearer (you can actually hear the Plainchant in the history of music section for example) and of course there's Richard Dawkins.
The Wembley concert would be the next to do unless you fancy some original lineup nightwish in which case end of an era is the way. You need to do the Poet and the Pendulu. From wembley of nothing else!
Wonderful reaction to a remarkable song - I mean, how do you even begin to approach writing a song like this - insane next level stuff. Thanks for sharing your journey with us guys 🤘
Just for now, it is my duty to introduce you to some info about the lyrics. Lyrics are in " " [Part 1: Four point Six] "Archaean horizon, The first sunrise" Earth's history is divided into four principal Eons: the Hadean, the Archean, Proterozoic, and the Phanerozoic. The Hadean is the Eon during which the Earth and Moon formed; in the Archaean, primordial life appeared. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Earth "On a pristine gaea" Gaia is the primordial Greek goddess of the Earth. More recently, the Gaia hypothesis is a recognition of the living and nonliving Earth systems which form an interdependent whole. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia "Opus perfectum, Somewhere there, us sleeping" Pristine perfection (of silence, of a blank page, of the very point from which the big bang itself sprung) implies a rich creative potential. Here Earth is painted in the same powerful way. Diversity awaits; unborn beings are sleeping the same sleep to which they will return at death. This interpretation is thematically linked with the album's opening track, "Shudder before the Beautiful," which includes the lyrics, "The music of this awe, Deep silence between the notes, Deafens me with endless love." Or as the furious hobbit screamed at the novice trumpeter, "An artist respects the silence, it serves as the foundation of creativity." [Part 2: Life] "The cosmic law of gravity Pulled the newborns around a fire, A careless cold infinity in every vast direction. Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone" Gravity pulls Earth and the other planets around the energizing Sun in an otherwise inhospitable universe. Earth is the only planet in our solar system's circumstellar habitable zone, orbiting at the "just right, not too hot, not too cold" distance from the Sun. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumstellar_habitable_zone "She has a tale to tell, From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast, Enter LUCA" In astronomy, stellar nurseries are the birthplaces of stars: they nurse stars Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_formation#Stellar_nurseries Poetically, our solar system is another "stellar nursery," in which a star is the nurse, caring for and warming a planet of 'newborns,' early carbon-based life. "Feast" evokes the incorporation of plentiful chemical building blocks into rudimentary life forms. "LUCA" stands for "Last universal common ancestor," the one single organism from which all other presently existing life on Earth descended. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_universal_ancestor "The tapestry of chemistry is a writing in the garden, Leading us to the mother of all" The periodic table of elements does look like a sort of patchwork tapestry, but this can go further. The historical function of tapestries was as "nomadic murals," pictographical histories which moving people could pack up and revisit wherever they went. The "writing in the garden," in nature, is not only the stone murals left by dead animals in the form of fossils, but is also this chemical writing that encodes the relatively nomadic DNA molecule with the instructions for life. The scientific investigation of this information leads us back to LUCA, and further. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapestry#Function "We are one, We are a universe," This is the natural conclusion to draw from the fact that life shares common origin, that all life is built with the same blocks, and that all life on Earth is interdependent (gaia hypothesis). The multiplicity of beings on Earth are one, just as the cells in a body are one. "Forebears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea." The Devonian geologic time period marked the first significant, rapid diversification of life (and the more well-known Cambrian explosion is another of these 'adaptive radiation' events). It was during the Devonian that the 'higher plants' appeared and blanketed the continents with forests. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devonian . The word "scion" refers to a shoot of a plant cut for grafting, and is also used to denote a descendent of a notable family. Both meanings apply. "Aeons pass, Writing the tale of us all. A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth" Evolutionary adaptation is written in the DNA and as fossils in the rocks, and is ongoing. Species die, diversifiy and delineate. Every day is different, every day something changes. "Ion channels welcoming the outside world To the stuff of stars" Ion channels are found in the membranes of all cells, controlling the flow of energy through the cells. The stuff of stars is all the physical matter we're made of. So it's the ion channels, guiding enery, which allow living bodies to interact with the rest of the world by exchanging energy with it. "Stuff of stars" is surely a Sagan reference: "The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff." For fun: ruclips.net/video/XGK84Poeynk/видео.html "Bedding the tree of a biological holy, Enter life" The bed of a tree is the nutrient-rich soil from which it grows, a soil made of dead things. The "tree of a biological holy" is probably the tree of life en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_(biology) . This line refers to the "holy" legendary tree of everlasting life but also means the conceptual, branching family tree of all life, whose bed consists of all deceased beings (in a more literal sense), or all extinct ancestral species (in a more abstract sense). This is thematically linked with the song "Alpenglow." "We are here to care for the garden, The wonder of birth Of every form most beautiful" "We" could be human beings tasked with acting as nature's stewards, garden of eden style, but that's not chronological -- human beings haven't quite appeared in the song yet. "We" could instead be all of life itself, in a gaia-philosophy sense, which posits that life creates environments ever more hospitable to more life. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_philosophy Or maybe it's a combination of these two thoughts: life eventually creates an environment suitable for the development of consiously acting, thinking human stewards. [Part 3: The Toolmaker] "After a billion years, The show is still here. Not a single one of your fathers died young." Every single one of a given person's ancestors, male and female, lived past puberty at least. But "fathers" evokes "forefathers," which has a nicer storytelling ring to it than "parents." "The handy travelers Out of Africa Little Lucy of the Afar" Handymen are good with tools; travelers posessing hands rather than forefeet walk upright. Hominids originated in Africa and spread to the rest of the world from there. Lucy is a particular specimen of the Australopithecus, one of many "missing links" between modern humans and nonhuman ancestors. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus) "Gave birth to fantasy, To idolatry, To self-destructive weaponry. Enter the God of gaps Deep within the past. Atavistic dread of the hunted!" The brain grows, consciousness and creativity along with it. Atavism is the tendency to revert to ancestral type, an evolutionary throwback. Fight-or-flight instincts that helped human ancestors survive have now been creatively projected onto the world to both explain it (origins, meaning, suffering) and gain security in it (bargaining through sacrifice). These are the roots of theism. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atavism "Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought, The architecture of understanding. The human lust to feel so exceptional, To rule the Earth" Nomadic people develop agriculture and settle down into civilizations. The word "architecture" is at once both literal and figurative. The efficiency of civilization graces people with free time to do more than just feed themselves. They develop rich cultural traditions, arts and philosophies, much of which are deeply influenced by how different humans now are from all the rest of life. "Hunger for shiny rocks, For giant mushroom clouds, The will to do as you'd be done by." Shiny rocks are wealth: gold, precious stones, jewels, and later uranium which leads to the nuclear arms race. The golden rule -- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" -- is a coin with a dark side: "an eye for an eye," revenge. This ensures the "MAD"ness of mutually assured destruction. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction "Enter history, the grand finale. Enter ratkind." "Ratkind" comes from Richard Dawkins' book "The Ancestor's Tale." Dawkins imagines a post-apocalyptic world in which rodents feast on the remnants of humanity (and humanity's garbage). The rat population explodes, and then as they exhaust these resources they turn on one another for food. As a consequence of natural selection, the rats diverge into new carnivorous and herbivorous species, and perhaps, eventually, a species of rodent whose intelligence rivals that of humans. This is "ratkind." Https://iberianature.com/wildworld/tag/ratkind/ "Man, he took his time in the sun, Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand." From William Blake: "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." ...And the story of the planet in 24 minutes. Not bad. "He gave birth to poetry, But one day'll cease to be. Greet the last light of the library" A bittersweet redundancy: poetry with library, the last light with ceasing to be. Reminiscent of Elan: "Be the first to greet the morn [...] Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral." "We were here!" Who else is going to vote for this song's inclusion on the next Voyager golden record, if there'll ever be one? I want to beam this song into space forever.
Yes, 😂😂 the Greatest Show On Earth at Tampere!!!!!!!!!!!! Very happy Nightwish fan overhere. Thanks for doing this version. See you both at 8 o'clock tonight(wish) I will make sure to be there at your première for this one!! Oh boy oh boy 😊😊👍
WE WERE HERE ❤️❤️❤️🇾🇪💙Great comment, love ite, yes you even your girlfriend closed her eyes for a while 👀 I thought, you want to see this but she was so far into it, incongruous. Nigthwisch at its best with incredible Floor and Marco, sung super straight, the whole song is just perfectionism at its highest level. you really enjoyed yourself and you were also completely in it. Really enjoyed the great empathy of you, enjoy the beautiful Nigthwisch, is so beautiful and only gets more beautiful. sank for your beautiful channel and that we can enjoy it, greetings Jan de Zwaan Greetings from the Dutch Keep going Nigthwisch 🤘💙👍👌🤘🤘❤️
If I remember correctly, Floor's mum and dad were in the front row of the audience that night (?) Imagine physically being there to see your own child bring this epic to life! And that mammoth ending? I'm betting Mama Jansen had a little tear of pride in her eye that night!
Tuomas turns everything gold - he gets depressed and creates a masterpiece, The Poet and the Pendulum, then gets happy and creates another one. I love TGSoE best of the big three partly because the mood - it's hopeful most of the way through, unlike TPatP which only gets hopeful at the very end. The Wembley performance is worth watching too, it's surprisingly different!
Now you have to witness it in person .....truly amazing , although i did miss marco's vocals with Floor a little bit ....the two of them together is just ridiculous, they really push one another vocally . Great Reaction .
After this one there is only 1 song from the big three left and that is The Poet And The Pendulum. You will automatically to this song is you are going to react to the Live At Wembley show. A lot of songs are the same, but There are also a few songs you haven’t seen
OPUS PERFECTUM * 🎼💥🎶 Indeed Opus Perfectum what comes to a "Rock'n'Roll" live performances, generally speaking. Even though the words: "generally" and "Nightwish" doesn't suit too well in the same sentence. 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Fantastic reaction! I really love that you did this one with your wife. I loved her in the previous reaction I saw with her. She experiences music in a similar way I do. Keep up the good work! Btw, , my sister told me that she knew Nightwish, so I send her this song, through the share feature, with her. After more than 45 minutes I asked her if she liked it. She told me she was flabbergasted and was still processing it. Afterwards, it became clear she knew of Nightwish, but didn't really heard anything of them ;)
Considered their Magnum Opus by many. Yep, 5 parts, the first 4.6. As in 4.6 billion years, the age of the Earth. The fireworks and keyboard hits may represent the early bombardment of the planet by comets, meteors ,and asteroids. Troy's part starts with Irish Low Whistle( guitar with EBOW at the Wembley 2015 version) 'Archeon horizon, the first sunrise on a pristine Gaia' is talking about the early Earth. L.U.C.A.- Last universal common ancestor, the last life form from which all current life on Earth descends. Lucy of the AFAR- when found in 1974, it was the oldest human ancestor remains discovered, dating to about 3.2 million years. God of gaps. Whenever there was a gap in man's understanding of anythig, he created a god to explain it. Enter ratkind, some theories say that rats will take over after mankind's time is done. The part on the evolution of music included several pieces of music including one by J.S.Bach, Metallica's Enter Sandman, and EDM. WE WERE HERE!!! 🤘🤘 The last spoken part is a quote from Darwin's book, The Origin of Species. At the Wembley version, Richard Dawkins joins the band onstage to read that.
@@enterthecronic It is beyond epic tho I believe GLS is the best song ever written I believe this song tho maybe just outside of my top 10 of my favorite Nightwish songs I think no other band has a better written n composed song then The Greatest Show on Earth though it's probably a long ways away if you continue doing concerts in order if you were blown away with this epic song get ready to be even more with Wembley's The Poet And The Pendulum which to my knowledge hasn't been done since that show in 2015 because of how emotional it is to Tuomas as you will see he get's asked by both Marko n Emppu how he was doing there are 5 parts to it and the 5th one has me in tears everytime,
That was a very great reaction of the both of you 👍👌💓👍👌💓 Please also react to Nightwish at Hellfest from 3 months ago and the Dutch TV program Klasgenoten that's about Floor's reunion with her old Rock Academy class. Kind regards from the Netherlands ❤❤
Thanks for another excellent reaction and for taking us with you on your journey of discovery. I am always amazed at the intricacy of a Nightwish show and how many people it takes to carry it off. I love some of the symbolism Tuomas used in this composition, especially when they describe the formation of the planets. Not sure I agree with the general pessimistic tone in the final section, especially when compared to the upbeat tone at the beginning. I think Tuomas was too influenced by Dawkin's disdain for God and mankind's ingenuity. I think mankind can overcome anything if they want. Looking forward to more reactions and the little Cronic. Keep rocking.🤘🤘🤘🛰🚀🛸
Very good ! Ioa Kouts has done his usual excellent job of unravelling the lyrics for you and I did send an email along the same lines. I can't see if anyone has mentioned it but did you notice the DNA double helix on the bass drum fronts and the DNA helices are suggested again on Floor's costume which you can also see as a stylised Finnish National Flag. You know by now how attached and accurate Nightwish are with the natural world, but I wonder if you know this, somewhat of an accolade from the scientific community in the naming of new and newly discovered species: Tmesisternus floorjansenae - A beetle Sciophila holopaineni - A shadow loving Insect Tanidromites nightwishorum - A Species of Crab Ophiomitrella Floorae - An hitherto unknown brittle star species that lived in the Cretaceous era named after Floor Jansen The Alpenglow Rockshelter - a prehistoric rockshelter discovered in Pennsylvania, USA which is located just a few hundred meters from the Council Rocks archaeoastronomy (Stonehenge-type) site from at least 1825 BC, some 4000 years before present.
Enjoyed that! Love watching you guys react to these masterpieces. I hope you will continue the 'beste zangers' 2019 journey next. Greetingz from the Netherlands \m/
Aaaww, you guys! You made me tear up all over! Thank you. How about a NW music video series, since there's not too many of them, just for variety between concerts? If I may suggest: + Noise; Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Elan (Floor) + Bye Bye Beautiful, Amaranth, Scaretale (Annette) + While Your Lips Are Still Red, Master Passion Greed Approved Fan Video (Marco) + Nemo, End Of All Hope, I Wish I Had An Angel, Over The Hills And Far Away, Bless The Child (Tarja) As a future interlude, you can react to the official lyric videos of Human:||: Nature in sequence, because it's jaw-dropping. Best wishes from Namibia
Great, Already got it 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ ❎ seen but I don't care 😍 I want to see this spectacle again 🎆 👐 🎆 Just hope I'm on time 👉⌚ 🤞🇳🇱 TIME DIFFERENCE 🤷🏼♀️😬😉🤭
This is so good song. Almost could say a mastet glass music theatre🥰🥰. Btw have you seen when Nightwish will honor the memory of Alexi Laiho during the Greatest Show on the earth? Here is the link if you dont saw it. ruclips.net/video/j7OGEMnrZ6g/видео.html
It is Tuomas' Opus Magnus. However, The universe, the solar system and all living things on Earth IS "The Greatest Show on Earth" This includes you and your lovely Fiancé. Welcome to the Show my friends.
Great reaction ! I love this song, I do how ever prefer the Wembley 2015 version, it doesn't have the fireworks, instead we get Troy rocking the E-Bow (a more fitting sound imho) and guest appearance by Dawkins.
We were always gonna finish the video. We just wanted to get in what we were thinking about the song itself before the credits. Realizing the song wasn’t completely done was our fault, but we did finish the video and listened to the whole thing :) that’s crazy they get Dawkins to come on stage with them!
@@enterthecronic I knew you'd finish...I'd told you like 4xs...cuz I'm a bossy old lady! Glad you did. Those words always remind me I'm lucky to even be here, stop whining. Yes...THE Richard Dawkins went to his 1st rock concert...and closed it out! Very cool!
@@enterthecronic song background and meaning,,its has very private touch in tuomas life in nightwish and tarja era.. and after that. tragedy that almost sinks hole band and tuomas itself.
As far as pausing goes, I can't fathom a reactor's need to pause a video they are reacting to. You want to react to it or not. Of course, pausing for avoiding the "yuutuub thought pawleese" is one thing, but otherwise it's recommended not to pause after 3/4s of a Nightwish video. Simply disable youtube's Autoplay option and enjoy the ride till the VERY end.
My bro, if you have seen my videos, I ALWAYS listen to it all the way. Klojum, I didn’t expect a comment like this from you. Like I said in the video itself, I thought the song was done, my mistake. And I knew I would have trolls coming into the comments to let me know about it. Just didn’t think I would be getting it from you, that’s all. Take care man. But please remove your toxic attitude, it’s not allowed on this channel. Especially from the Nightwish Army. Watch the video without a reactor if you wanna listen to a song uninterrupted. If you want a reactor to do it a certain way, then maybe you should try being a reactor yourself? Are we all really this spoiled?
Yes that’s what we mentioned during the actual video itself Paul. We realized we paused to early. And we mentioned that. And we are ready for the comments that was going to come in. Since it’s an obvious thing we did lol. To be fair many reactors pause all the time during songs, when we usually don’t. We thought the song was done and that the credits was the only thing left. Our mistake.
I dont thin Floor is from planet earth! i dont think Tuomas is from here either , Floor is possessed with something wonderful! i dont know what it is! rest of the band is from somewhere between earth and ? ?? ! . Finn.
This song is Massive,...Song about Evolution of the Universe , Earth and Life . The song title is taken from a 2009 book by evolutionary biologist and atheist writer Richard Dawkins, concerning the evidence for biological evolution. Dawkins also contributes towards the album. Holopainen explained to HMV in March 2015: "I wrote him a letter a bit more than a year ago and explained the ideas we had for this album, mainly to do with evolution. Since one of the tracks would be named directly after one of his books, it felt like a perfect match to try to get him do some reciting on the album. He sent me an email a few weeks later accepting the invitation." "Later in 2014 we then recorded his parts at Hats Off Studios, Oxford. This is a huge honor for us, since Dawkins is one of our biggest heroes and his writings have been huge inspiration for the album." WE WERE HERE !!!! This song , and that ending gets me every time 🤘🥲🤘. NWSU.
whenever you hear Floor and Marco's harmonies, Troy is the third part voice......Floor's outfit made me think shaman/sorceress......only Tuomas would use fireworks as an instrument.....he IS the Metal Mozart....notice when the band is at the end of the runway, Floor is up above all of them....Tuomas is 6-2 by the way
Timing the fireworks is an art in itself. It's not like someone presses the button at the right moment and the rockets explode at that moment to match the music. They press the button and then the rocket has to travel a way before it explodes at the right moment to the music. This is art.
Tank the Tech mentioned that the fireworks can be controlled via Midi software synched with the click track so they can be perfectly timed.
@@rnowak85 Fireworks can always be volatile. So they may be triggered via MIDI, there is always the possibility that the gun powder or whatever is in them will ignite a tad slower or faster. Some of the fireworks here were on point, a tiny few were a little too late IMO.
@@rnowak85 Midi yes, but It's not that simple. The midi does not know how long the firing takes until the firework takes off nor how long it takes for the firework to travel until explosion. They must be tested and calculated and then programmed to midi to take place much earlier than the beat of the music happens. As we can see, one of them is a bit late so the time of firing and travelling is not perfectly equal in every firework 🙂
This is a masterpiece and my favorite song. Such an emotional ride every time I listen to it. Awesome review. Cheers!❤
Thumbnail Lady looked like she was in a WHOLE OTHER place for a large section of this incredible performance.
What a BEAST Floor is, to have the power and endurace to be able to CRUSH this last behemoth of a song at the end of this concert.
She really was in her own place which is amazing!! :)

Your welcome Nightwish Army, and to you Monique!
Spent most of my life in music production and performance and, to my taste, probably the finest composition of this youngish 21st century thus far.
TY, So glad you got to experience this master piece . Buenos Aries 2018 is an amazing show with a lot of older songs you have not heard yet .
I concur!
Sorry I missed it 😢
Your live stream..
But I watched it afterwards.
Enjoyed your emotional response, I love that 💙❤️
I enjoyed it again.
Nightwish turns every song into a story, with a message.
We must appreciate this, this Band loves Nature 🦋
🏞️ People and the Universe. 🌌🪐
We must all be careful with everything that lives and grows.
Love and thanks again from

Awesome job guys I'm glad you enjoyed that masterpiece
We LOVED it!! :)
I can see that you were overwhelmed by this. I have seen it multiple times and I am overwhelmed every time. Terrific reaction to this legendary performance. Thanks. ❤☮🙏
It was such an incredible show!!
I love how they squeeze in the evolution of music as well from Bach to the Metallica rift and even something that sounds like techno
It's worth watching the Wembley version too. Troy plays the cello part at the beginning with his e-bow, the audio is clearer (you can actually hear the Plainchant in the history of music section for example) and of course there's Richard Dawkins.

I love the Wembley Version. But, for the first seeing, Tampere is perfect.
Wonderful reaction to a remarkable song - I mean, how do you even begin to approach writing a song like this - insane next level stuff. Thanks for sharing your journey with us guys 🤘
You very welcome, Jim!
We were here! Ah always get a little emotional with this one
It's EPIC, Tampere is the best mixed show ever, the sound is excellent 🤘🤘🤘
I slightly have to disagree. The voices are a bit to high. But we all feel differently. Still one of the best liveshows ever.
I will always prefer Wacken 2013. Edit: Of course, no Greatest Show On Earth then
@@jo_g.germany That show is the most epic show ever. Just perfect
Oh, i am out. I love Hellfest 2022 from the sound, or Deichbrand.
We were here
In the greatest show on earth!
Just for now, it is my duty to introduce you to some info about the lyrics.
Lyrics are in " "
[Part 1: Four point Six]
"Archaean horizon, The first sunrise"
Earth's history is divided into four principal Eons: the Hadean, the Archean, Proterozoic, and the Phanerozoic. The Hadean is the Eon during which the Earth and Moon formed; in the Archaean, primordial life appeared. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Earth
"On a pristine gaea"
Gaia is the primordial Greek goddess of the Earth. More recently, the Gaia hypothesis is a recognition of the living and nonliving Earth systems which form an interdependent whole. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia
"Opus perfectum, Somewhere there, us sleeping" Pristine perfection (of silence, of a blank page, of the very point from which the big bang itself sprung) implies a rich creative potential. Here Earth is painted in the same powerful way. Diversity awaits; unborn beings are sleeping the same sleep to which they will return at death. This interpretation is thematically linked with the album's opening track, "Shudder before the Beautiful," which includes the lyrics, "The music of this awe, Deep silence between the notes, Deafens me with endless love." Or as the furious hobbit screamed at the novice trumpeter, "An artist respects the silence, it serves as the foundation of creativity."
[Part 2: Life]
"The cosmic law of gravity Pulled the newborns around a fire, A careless cold infinity in every vast direction. Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone"
Gravity pulls Earth and the other planets around the energizing Sun in an otherwise inhospitable universe. Earth is the only planet in our solar system's circumstellar habitable zone, orbiting at the "just right, not too hot, not too cold" distance from the Sun. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumstellar_habitable_zone
"She has a tale to tell, From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast, Enter LUCA"
In astronomy, stellar nurseries are the birthplaces of stars: they nurse stars Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_formation#Stellar_nurseries
Poetically, our solar system is another "stellar nursery," in which a star is the nurse, caring for and warming a planet of 'newborns,' early carbon-based life. "Feast" evokes the incorporation of plentiful chemical building blocks into rudimentary life forms. "LUCA" stands for "Last universal common ancestor," the one single organism from which all other presently existing life on Earth descended. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_universal_ancestor
"The tapestry of chemistry is a writing in the garden, Leading us to the mother of all"
The periodic table of elements does look like a sort of patchwork tapestry, but this can go further. The historical function of tapestries was as "nomadic murals," pictographical histories which moving people could pack up and revisit wherever they went. The "writing in the garden," in nature, is not only the stone murals left by dead animals in the form of fossils, but is also this chemical writing that encodes the relatively nomadic DNA molecule with the instructions for life. The scientific investigation of this information leads us back to LUCA, and further. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapestry#Function
"We are one, We are a universe,"
This is the natural conclusion to draw from the fact that life shares common origin, that all life is built with the same blocks, and that all life on Earth is interdependent (gaia hypothesis). The multiplicity of beings on Earth are one, just as the cells in a body are one.
"Forebears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea."
The Devonian geologic time period marked the first significant, rapid diversification of life (and the more well-known Cambrian explosion is another of these 'adaptive radiation' events). It was during the Devonian that the 'higher plants' appeared and blanketed the continents with forests. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devonian
. The word "scion" refers to a shoot of a plant cut for grafting, and is also used to denote a descendent of a notable family. Both meanings apply.
"Aeons pass, Writing the tale of us all. A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth"
Evolutionary adaptation is written in the DNA and as fossils in the rocks, and is ongoing. Species die, diversifiy and delineate. Every day is different, every day something changes.
"Ion channels welcoming the outside world To the stuff of stars"
Ion channels are found in the membranes of all cells, controlling the flow of energy through the cells. The stuff of stars is all the physical matter we're made of. So it's the ion channels, guiding enery, which allow living bodies to interact with the rest of the world by exchanging energy with it. "Stuff of stars" is surely a Sagan reference: "The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff." For fun: ruclips.net/video/XGK84Poeynk/видео.html
"Bedding the tree of a biological holy, Enter life"
The bed of a tree is the nutrient-rich soil from which it grows, a soil made of dead things. The "tree of a biological holy" is probably the tree of life en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_(biology)
. This line refers to the "holy" legendary tree of everlasting life but also means the conceptual, branching family tree of all life, whose bed consists of all deceased beings (in a more literal sense), or all extinct ancestral species (in a more abstract sense). This is thematically linked with the song "Alpenglow."
"We are here to care for the garden, The wonder of birth Of every form most beautiful"
"We" could be human beings tasked with acting as nature's stewards, garden of eden style, but that's not chronological -- human beings haven't quite appeared in the song yet. "We" could instead be all of life itself, in a gaia-philosophy sense, which posits that life creates environments ever more hospitable to more life. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_philosophy
Or maybe it's a combination of these two thoughts: life eventually creates an environment suitable for the development of consiously acting, thinking human stewards.
[Part 3: The Toolmaker]
"After a billion years, The show is still here. Not a single one of your fathers died young."
Every single one of a given person's ancestors, male and female, lived past puberty at least. But "fathers" evokes "forefathers," which has a nicer storytelling ring to it than "parents."
"The handy travelers Out of Africa Little Lucy of the Afar"
Handymen are good with tools; travelers posessing hands rather than forefeet walk upright. Hominids originated in Africa and spread to the rest of the world from there. Lucy is a particular specimen of the Australopithecus, one of many "missing links" between modern humans and nonhuman ancestors.
Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus)
"Gave birth to fantasy, To idolatry, To self-destructive weaponry. Enter the God of gaps Deep within the past. Atavistic dread of the hunted!"
The brain grows, consciousness and creativity along with it. Atavism is the tendency to revert to ancestral type, an evolutionary throwback. Fight-or-flight instincts that helped human ancestors survive have now been creatively projected onto the world to both explain it (origins, meaning, suffering) and gain security in it (bargaining through sacrifice). These are the roots of theism.
Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atavism
"Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought, The architecture of understanding. The human lust to feel so exceptional, To rule the Earth"
Nomadic people develop agriculture and settle down into civilizations. The word "architecture" is at once both literal and figurative. The efficiency of civilization graces people with free time to do more than just feed themselves. They develop rich cultural traditions, arts and philosophies, much of which are deeply influenced by how different humans now are from all the rest of life.
"Hunger for shiny rocks, For giant mushroom clouds, The will to do as you'd be done by."
Shiny rocks are wealth: gold, precious stones, jewels, and later uranium which leads to the nuclear arms race. The golden rule -- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" -- is a coin with a dark side: "an eye for an eye," revenge. This ensures the "MAD"ness of mutually assured destruction. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction
"Enter history, the grand finale. Enter ratkind."
"Ratkind" comes from Richard Dawkins' book "The Ancestor's Tale." Dawkins imagines a post-apocalyptic world in which rodents feast on the remnants of humanity (and humanity's garbage). The rat population explodes, and then as they exhaust these resources they turn on one another for food. As a consequence of natural selection, the rats diverge into new carnivorous and herbivorous species, and perhaps, eventually, a species of rodent whose intelligence rivals that of humans. This is "ratkind." Https://iberianature.com/wildworld/tag/ratkind/
"Man, he took his time in the sun, Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand."
From William Blake: "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." ...And the story of the planet in 24 minutes. Not bad.
"He gave birth to poetry, But one day'll cease to be. Greet the last light of the library"
A bittersweet redundancy: poetry with library, the last light with ceasing to be. Reminiscent of Elan: "Be the first to greet the morn [...] Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral."
"We were here!"
Who else is going to vote for this song's inclusion on the next Voyager golden record, if there'll ever be one?
I want to beam this song into space forever.
Thank you!!!!!
Yes, 😂😂 the Greatest Show On Earth at Tampere!!!!!!!!!!!! Very happy Nightwish fan overhere. Thanks for doing this version. See you both at 8 o'clock tonight(wish) I will make sure to be there at your première for this one!! Oh boy oh boy 😊😊👍
Hope you made it?!
WE WERE HERE ❤️❤️❤️🇾🇪💙Great comment, love ite, yes you even your girlfriend closed her eyes for a while 👀 I thought, you want to see this but she was so far into it, incongruous.
Nigthwisch at its best with incredible Floor and Marco, sung super straight, the whole song is just perfectionism at its highest level. you really enjoyed yourself and you were also completely in it.
Really enjoyed the great empathy of you, enjoy the beautiful Nigthwisch, is so beautiful and only gets more beautiful. sank for your beautiful channel and that we can enjoy it,
greetings Jan de Zwaan
Greetings from the Dutch
Keep going Nigthwisch 🤘💙👍👌🤘🤘❤️
Thank you so much!! We appreciate you!!
The Greatest Song On Earth!
If I remember correctly, Floor's mum and dad were in the front row of the audience that night (?)
Imagine physically being there to see your own child bring this epic to life! And that mammoth ending? I'm betting Mama Jansen had a little tear of pride in her eye that night!
It’s an adventure and it stays that way, also when you heard it dozens of times❣️
We do love thumbnail lady as well as you.
Thanks!!
Just 💜....You watched and listend ...and Your lady feels and sees.......and love ya both 💞🔥 love and Light from Holland 🇳🇱🌷☯️
NW Army UK popping in to say WE WERE HERE
Thanks for popping by!!
Tuomas turns everything gold - he gets depressed and creates a masterpiece, The Poet and the Pendulum, then gets happy and creates another one. I love TGSoE best of the big three partly because the mood - it's hopeful most of the way through, unlike TPatP which only gets hopeful at the very end. The Wembley performance is worth watching too, it's surprisingly different!
Now you have to witness it in person .....truly amazing , although i did miss marco's vocals with Floor a little bit ....the two of them together is just ridiculous, they really push one another vocally .
Great Reaction .
Thank you so much!!
After this one there is only 1 song from the big three left and that is The Poet And The Pendulum. You will automatically to this song is you are going to react to the Live At Wembley show. A lot of songs are the same, but There are also a few songs you haven’t seen
🇬🇧 Norfolk late but still can’t wait to see your reaction
Hope you enjoyed it!
Wohooo! Can’t wait! 🎉🎉
OPUS PERFECTUM * 🎼💥🎶
Indeed Opus Perfectum what comes to a "Rock'n'Roll" live performances, generally speaking. Even though the words: "generally" and "Nightwish" doesn't suit too well in the same sentence.
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Good one.
Beautifull , great reaction .
Thank you!
Fantastic reaction! I really love that you did this one with your wife. I loved her in the previous reaction I saw with her. She experiences music in a similar way I do. Keep up the good work! Btw, , my sister told me that she knew Nightwish, so I send her this song, through the share feature, with her. After more than 45 minutes I asked her if she liked it. She told me she was flabbergasted and was still processing it. Afterwards, it became clear she knew of Nightwish, but didn't really heard anything of them ;)
Thanks for sharing this with us!! We really appreciate it! Yea, my wife is awesome!! You rock, Karolien!
WE WERE HERE!
Here we go! 😀👏🏼🌎🎆
A great resource Tank The Tech a roadie reactor discusses the Pyro and gear. Each thoughtful reactor adds like him and you and him are great 👍
Thank you so much, Donald! Tank the Tech is a very good reactor!!
WE. WERE. HEEEERRRE! 🌎
Considered their Magnum Opus by many.
Yep, 5 parts, the first 4.6. As in 4.6 billion years, the age of the Earth. The fireworks and keyboard hits may represent the early bombardment of the planet by comets, meteors ,and asteroids.
Troy's part starts with Irish Low Whistle( guitar with EBOW at the Wembley 2015 version)
'Archeon horizon, the first sunrise on a pristine Gaia' is talking about the early Earth.
L.U.C.A.- Last universal common ancestor, the last life form from which all current life on Earth descends.
Lucy of the AFAR- when found in 1974, it was the oldest human ancestor remains discovered, dating to about 3.2 million years.
God of gaps. Whenever there was a gap in man's understanding of anythig, he created a god to explain it.
Enter ratkind, some theories say that rats will take over after mankind's time is done.
The part on the evolution of music included several pieces of music including one by J.S.Bach, Metallica's Enter Sandman, and EDM.
WE WERE HERE!!! 🤘🤘
The last spoken part is a quote from Darwin's book, The Origin of Species. At the Wembley version, Richard Dawkins joins the band onstage to read that.
Can't wait!!!!
I’ve been listening to it on repeat 🔁 lol
@@enterthecronic It is beyond epic tho I believe GLS is the best song ever written I believe this song tho maybe just outside of my top 10 of my favorite Nightwish songs I think no other band has a better written n composed song then The Greatest Show on Earth though it's probably a long ways away if you continue doing concerts in order if you were blown away with this epic song get ready to be even more with Wembley's The Poet And The Pendulum which to my knowledge hasn't been done since that show in 2015 because of how emotional it is to Tuomas as you will see he get's asked by both Marko n Emppu how he was doing there are 5 parts to it and the 5th one has me in tears everytime,
@@enterthecronic oh ya and the studio version is 24 mins long
Good reaction! We were here.... on the road less traveled with Nightwsh! 🤘💥❤️
Want to do it again? Wembly WITH Richard Dawkins in attendance!
Floor owns any stage she stands on like a fearless shield maiden.
Great reaction 😀 please react to Nightwish - Devil and the deep dark ocean. You will not regret it 🙏
I concur.
That was a very great reaction of the both of you 👍👌💓👍👌💓
Please also react to Nightwish at Hellfest from 3 months ago and the Dutch TV program Klasgenoten that's about Floor's reunion with her old Rock Academy class.
Kind regards from the Netherlands ❤❤
Thank you, Eddie!!
the greatest show FROM earth..on earth...
Another awesome reaction guys!! 👍
So when are you doing Poet and The Pendulum??
i think if they do the wembly show
Thanks for another excellent reaction and for taking us with you on your journey of discovery. I am always amazed at the intricacy of a Nightwish show and how many people it takes to carry it off. I love some of the symbolism Tuomas used in this composition, especially when they describe the formation of the planets. Not sure I agree with the general pessimistic tone in the final section, especially when compared to the upbeat tone at the beginning. I think Tuomas was too influenced by Dawkin's disdain for God and mankind's ingenuity. I think mankind can overcome anything if they want. Looking forward to more reactions and the little Cronic. Keep rocking.🤘🤘🤘🛰🚀🛸
Hey thank you so much Alan!! Thumbnail baby will be here soon!!
There are just no words..! Great reaction. Howzit from Namibia..
Very good !
Ioa Kouts has done his usual excellent job of unravelling the lyrics for you and I did send an email along the same lines.
I can't see if anyone has mentioned it but did you notice the DNA double helix on the bass drum fronts and the DNA helices are suggested again on Floor's costume which you can also see as a stylised Finnish National Flag.
You know by now how attached and accurate Nightwish are with the natural world, but I wonder if you know this, somewhat of an accolade from the scientific community in the naming of new and newly discovered species:
Tmesisternus floorjansenae - A beetle
Sciophila holopaineni - A shadow loving Insect
Tanidromites nightwishorum - A Species of Crab
Ophiomitrella Floorae - An hitherto unknown brittle star species that lived in the Cretaceous era named after Floor Jansen
The Alpenglow Rockshelter - a prehistoric rockshelter discovered in Pennsylvania, USA which is located just a few hundred meters from the Council Rocks archaeoastronomy (Stonehenge-type) site from at least 1825 BC, some 4000 years before present.
Thank you for all of that!!
Enjoyed that!
Love watching you guys react to these masterpieces.
I hope you will continue the 'beste zangers' 2019 journey next.
Greetingz from the Netherlands
\m/
Great reaction to a fantastic masterpiece! Love the Dragonball sweatshirt btw!
It’s such a great one isn’t it!! Do you have any sweet anime shirts?!
@@enterthecronic Unfortunately, No; I do however, have a great t-shirt celebrating 25 years of Nightwish!
@@enterthecronic Unfortunately, No; I do however, have a great t-shirt celebrating 25 years of Nightwish!
Aaaww, you guys! You made me tear up all over! Thank you.
How about a NW music video series, since there's not too many of them, just for variety between concerts? If I may suggest:
+ Noise; Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Elan (Floor)
+ Bye Bye Beautiful, Amaranth, Scaretale (Annette)
+ While Your Lips Are Still Red, Master Passion Greed Approved Fan Video (Marco)
+ Nemo, End Of All Hope, I Wish I Had An Angel, Over The Hills And Far Away, Bless The Child (Tarja)
As a future interlude, you can react to the official lyric videos of Human:||: Nature in sequence, because it's jaw-dropping.
Best wishes from Namibia
Great,
Already got it
1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ ❎
seen but I don't care 😍
I want to see this spectacle again

Just hope I'm on time 👉⌚ 🤞🇳🇱

Hope you made it?!
Thankyou. I cried. Love you both. Kev x
Thanks, Kevin!!
This is so good song. Almost could say a mastet glass music theatre🥰🥰.
Btw have you seen when
Nightwish will honor the memory of Alexi Laiho during the Greatest Show on the earth? Here is the link if you dont saw it.

👋👋👋Like 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hi. Please do their newest album Human nature and especially disc 2
It is Tuomas' Opus Magnus. However, The universe, the solar system and all living things on Earth IS "The Greatest Show on Earth" This includes you and your lovely Fiancé. Welcome to the Show my friends.
Thank you, Thorgrim!!
Well done!
Thank you!
🤘W E ' R E S T I L L H E R E 🤘
Great reaction ! I love this song, I do how ever prefer the Wembley 2015 version, it doesn't have the fireworks, instead we get Troy rocking the E-Bow (a more fitting sound imho) and guest appearance by Dawkins.
Whoa! You almost missed those very meaningful quotes at the end! When you see the Wembley version, Richard Dawkins actually comes on stage w the band.
We were always gonna finish the video. We just wanted to get in what we were thinking about the song itself before the credits. Realizing the song wasn’t completely done was our fault, but we did finish the video and listened to the whole thing :) that’s crazy they get Dawkins to come on stage with them!
@@enterthecronic I knew you'd finish...I'd told you like 4xs...cuz I'm a bossy old lady! Glad you did. Those words always remind me I'm lucky to even be here, stop whining. Yes...THE Richard Dawkins went to his 1st rock concert...and closed it out! Very cool!
Were those damn onion cutting ninjas there as well? Because I kind of noticed you wipe your eyes a few times? They were here for sure. ;)
Yea it got me!!
Try using ad blocker, when recording. 🙂
That would be a good idea!
React yours is an empty hope at TAMPERE, and last ride of the day at tampere and hellfest too
I dont know how Kai can even stand much less walk!!
That's exactly what I'm thinking everytime I watch this whole concert. He was/is phenomenal. Love him haha
Your partner was sleeping!😆😆😆
Buenos Aires 2018 next I hope?
Please reaction sabaton Christmas truce 🙏🙏🙏
Now its time for the poet and the pendulum
Which concerts have that song?
@@enterthecronic Wembley arena,that whole concert is epic
When you think youre ready to next step,, the poet and the pendulum.. its rough stuff.. and another tuomas masterpiece..make your homework first.
What is the correct homework we need to do before listening to this?!
@@enterthecronic song background and meaning,,its has very private touch in tuomas life in nightwish and tarja era.. and after that. tragedy that almost sinks hole band and tuomas itself.
its a song what you cant listen at first ever all nw songs,,need to know band..kind a cult song at hear when youre think heard all
Did you see Troy’s shirt had a picture of Charles Darwin?
I didn’t notice that!! I’ll check for it!
@@enterthecronic It’s most visible when they come down the runway at the end of the show.
Think you both liked that one???? LOL
more like the greatist twins on earth lol
Great reaction.. but... RUclips premium isn't THAT expencive😅
As far as pausing goes, I can't fathom a reactor's need to pause a video they are reacting to. You want to react to it or not. Of course, pausing for avoiding the "yuutuub thought pawleese" is one thing, but otherwise it's recommended not to pause after 3/4s of a Nightwish video. Simply disable youtube's Autoplay option and enjoy the ride till the VERY end.
My bro, if you have seen my videos, I ALWAYS listen to it all the way. Klojum, I didn’t expect a comment like this from you. Like I said in the video itself, I thought the song was done, my mistake. And I knew I would have trolls coming into the comments to let me know about it. Just didn’t think I would be getting it from you, that’s all. Take care man. But please remove your toxic attitude, it’s not allowed on this channel. Especially from the Nightwish Army.
Watch the video without a reactor if you wanna listen to a song uninterrupted. If you want a reactor to do it a certain way, then maybe you should try being a reactor yourself? Are we all really this spoiled?
Next time wait till the song is over?
Yes that’s what we mentioned during the actual video itself Paul. We realized we paused to early. And we mentioned that. And we are ready for the comments that was going to come in. Since it’s an obvious thing we did lol. To be fair many reactors pause all the time during songs, when we usually don’t. We thought the song was done and that the credits was the only thing left. Our mistake.
I dont thin Floor is from planet earth! i dont think Tuomas is from here either ,
Floor is possessed with something wonderful! i dont know what it is! rest of the band is from somewhere between earth and ? ?? ! . Finn.
Pysäyttävää. Kyllä. Miksi hullut diktaattorit pääsevät valtaan? Me olimme täällä.
Compouser Tuomas Holopainen metal Mozart
Pysäyttävää... Osalle ihmisistä. Lohduttaako? Maailma ilmastoineen on yhteinen ja rajoista käydään kiistaa. We Area doomed.
?
This song is Massive,...Song about Evolution of the Universe , Earth and Life .
The song title is taken from a 2009 book by evolutionary biologist and atheist writer Richard Dawkins, concerning the evidence for biological evolution. Dawkins also contributes towards the album. Holopainen explained to HMV in March 2015: "I wrote him a letter a bit more than a year ago and explained the ideas we had for this album, mainly to do with evolution. Since one of the tracks would be named directly after one of his books, it felt like a perfect match to try to get him do some reciting on the album. He sent me an email a few weeks later accepting the invitation."
"Later in 2014 we then recorded his parts at Hats Off Studios, Oxford. This is a huge honor for us, since Dawkins is one of our biggest heroes and his writings have been huge inspiration for the album."
WE WERE HERE !!!!
This song , and that ending gets me every time 🤘🥲🤘.
NWSU.
whenever you hear Floor and Marco's harmonies, Troy is the third part voice......Floor's outfit made me think shaman/sorceress......only Tuomas would use fireworks as an instrument.....he IS the Metal Mozart....notice when the band is at the end of the runway, Floor is up above all of them....Tuomas is 6-2 by the way
