Mike and Ginger celebrate Ginger's birthday with the Nightwish epic, The Greatest Show on Earth. Stick around, most of the discussion is after the song!

Jean-Claude van Damme
@@ChrisPage68 always look on the bright side of life
The guttural noises are Troy, Marko and Floor together. And when they played Wembley Dawkins came out on stage and read the last part live, in front of 12.500 metalheads.
Very cool 😎- G
For me as metal head the "Cambrian explosion" was very well implemented musically. Love it, it was a biological big bang on earth.
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl The slowest explosion ever... 20.000.000 years. But it's really fast on a geological scale.
@@darkiee69 I know, both is true.
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl But that's the part that creationists seems to missunderstand. They think that it means that everything came to be at a moments notice, like a real explosion. Not that it took twenty million years. But then again, they think the earth is 6-8.000 years old.
The most epic song ever written.
As I wrote to another reactors wall: and 23000+ humans wondered next morning where their voice had disappeared Floor shouting: "AS LOUD AS YOU CAN - We Were Here!!""
She also said that this should be shown to all students in scools - Luca, Devionian Sea, Lucy - this would make kids to dig in Earths history 🙂🙂
As a biology nerd myself this song always makes me smile thinking about how crazy it is that we are here. I loved that you commented and understand the biology and science behind the lyrics but also on how the music followed this...the calm and then the chaos. I personally always thought too that the fact that they throw in a brief evolution of music was really great. I like too that the “Homo Sapien” section was really short compared to the opening piano, etc as it shows too that we are a speck on the timeline of this planet. The opening lyrics and the way sung by Floor always gets me a little as I picture somehow being there to see the first sunrise and how incredible that would have been. The first two verses after that might be some of if not my favorite lyrics not only of Nightwish but any song...again science guy here. Happy Birthday and cheers 🥂
Thank you 😊 - G
They are all so incredibly talented yet so humble. Actually gives me hope for mankind
The reason Floor was extra emotional was that her parents were in the audience
Here's some nice pre- and after-show footage of this concert.
Short interviews with Floor, her parents and Tuomas and Marko.
Most of it is in Dutch, but there are subtitles.
It's from a Dutch tv program called " De Reunie" (The Reunion), where old school classes reunite. This episode is with a class from the Dutch Rock Academy, where Floor studied.

And her sister Irene
also first time nightwish performance back to finland with her new singer floor. very emotional situation whole band.
@@lujalainen1
Very first time when Floor performed in Finland as a lead vocalist for Nightwish was already in November 2012( Hartwall Areena 10.11.- 12) when they came here in FIN for the world premier of the movie "Imaginaerum"...Guess it was gig #14 with them for Floor J.
Now when seen the "after show", yeah Tuomas has "always said" that music doesn't matter at all, its what the music does to you, feelings, thoughts and all that, that matters, so spot on! nice reaction again Thank you!
You look sweet and happy on your birthday Ginger. what a nice celebration to react to The Greatest Show On Earth. Congratulations!
Thank you, Marc! I absolutely loved it! - G
Tuomas is gifted where most are. Tuomas is also the mastermind behinds 90+% of Nightwish's music. Including this. Also you guys will love the Human. :II: Nature. album...when you're ready for it.
Happy birthday - great reaction. I have watched it 100x and still get full Body chills...greetings from Denmark.
Thank you ☺️- G
I love your genuine smile Ginger and Mike's restrained exuberance. Great song and reaction. You two get it. Thank you both. I'm in your age group, I'm 50 and Floor makes me cry. Whether you believe in evolution or God, when you hear Floor I'll go with God, she was sent from Heaven.
If "god" was possible, I would like her to be like Floor - but she's got a lot to live up to. 😜
Thank you ☺️ - G
You wanted epic, you got epic.
Happy birthday, Ginger, and thank you for your participation in the greatest show on Earth!
Thank you ☺️- G
Greatest Show On Earth + Firecrackers for your birthday G !! Happy Birthday !!
Right?! Amazing! Thank you - G
You deliverd one of the best and still happy (birthday) analysises for this wonder of music. Very well done. Did you paid attention to the dress Floor was wearing, the dna helixes, what an attention to detail. This is a monumental piece. I enjoyed your show even when I have seen and heard this piece of music many many times before. And cheers also for your birthday, so well and adequate selected beautiful music that celebrates live.
Thank you! ❤️ I did notice her dress. Very cool - G
Also, the dress is in the Finnish colours, blue and white.
Last time I was this early all of this was the Devonian Sea
Coelacanth?.... and I thought I was a fossil! LOL!
Underrated comment... :-)
Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
Congrats Ginger 🎉🎁💐🎈🎊 ! I love how you Guys think and talk about believing, our planet, our world🥰 It's such a interesting and beautifull topic to think and talk about.
Thank you, Liesje! I couldn’t agree more- G
Thanks to you both for the great recap of the meaning behind this great performance. And happy birthday, Ginger!! Mine is tomorrow!
Thank you! And Happy Birthday to you! - G
This is my current favourite Nightwish Song...
Happy birthday Ginger! Celebration of life on your birthday with fireworks!
Indeed! Thank you 😊- G
There's a line in another Nightwish song called Last Ride of the Day. What is god if not the spark that started life. Great song to check out, its their concert closer at Wacken 2013
Happy birthday Ginger. What a great way to spend you day. Many more, be safe.
Thank you ❤️ - G
Happy birthday Ginger. Love the dress, matches your hair. What a way to celebrate your birthday with the Magnum Opus of Metal Mozart of Music.
Nightwish was killing it, everyone was magnificent. The Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and her Brother ,the Viking Lord.... those harmonies.... out of this world. Hail Nightwish
Thank you, Eddie! It was fabulous 🥰 - G
The greatest show ever. 🥰🥰❤️🥰🥰
Happy Birthday!! May all your Nightwishes come true!
All of them?! 😜 Thank you 🙏🏻- G
Happy birthday, Ginger. Great song to choose for your special day. I believe Marko has commented that he can sing as loud as he wants to, as Floor will always be over the top of him. Really great reaction. ❤️🤘🇦🇺
Thank you 😊- G
Happy Birthday Ginger!!! From one Libra to another.
Now you had fireworks on your birthday. Happy ?? :-)
Hug and kisses from Belgium!!
Loved it! Thank you, and happy birthday, back! - G
About 23m is Bach then Enter Sandman. This was their last concert of a world tour. They wanted to do Tampere last so they could be home for Christmas.
The Greatest Band on Earth presents "The Greatest Show on Earth"! Nice reaction again! I saw a few Floorgasms during the song... I like you both! Best (night)wishes from Bulgaria-Europe!
Thank you! I've actually been to Bulgaria, a long time ago! Nice countryside - G
@@MikeandGinger Really?! Oh, most people in America doesn't know anything about my country... Thanks again and be healthy!
Happy Birthday 🎂 💐 Epic. Thanks for the reaction 🌠🔥👋👋👋😊
We Are All Made Of Dying Stars. Give thanks to GAIA
Thank you ! - G
Happy birthday Ginger, best birthday present to here , to dream, to enjoy and there is still more.
Thank you ☺️- G
Love this song.
Btw.Floor has a beetle named after her . *Tmesisternus Floorjanseni* .. And Tuomas has bug named after him, *Sciophila holopaineni* ..!! and Nightwish have ther own to . i do not remember what it is, sorry. ( but hey you gott your "fireworks on your B-Day !! Stay safe.
Very cool! - G
Tanidromites nightwishorum
Floor also has a starfish named after her Ophiomitrella floora and the band have a crab named after them Tanidromites nightwishorum.
Pretty awesome! :D
They also have a rather new discovery The Alpenglow Rockshelter - a prehistoric rockshelter discovered in Pennsylvania, USA named after their song Alpenglow. Nightwish is truly out here making their mark on science and History 😊😊
I chuckled at the distracted by the shoes comment knowing the Floor is 6'1" without them.
Happy Birthday omg you look younger!! Thank you for the reactions and keep it up with the NightWish train ;)
Thank you!❤️ - G
That would be Troy Donockley with the Irish Tin Flute and Uilleann Pipes (Irish pipes of the Elbow). He is a master musician (As all Nightwish Members are) and plays a plethora of instruments and provides vocals much more since becoming a permanent member.
Hi from the UK. Very belated Happy Birthday! Just another day at the Nightwish office! Floor is Dutch and is classically trained. She is a 2m powerhouse and can really "sell" a story with emotion, expression and her vocal gymnastics. Nightwish instrumentalists...there are no words. Always epic performances, sometimes inclusive with audience participation and brilliant compositions, which take you on a journey! Great reactions and analysis. Best wishes and stay safe.
Stopped the video and made my own margaritas. Happy Birthday!!
Well done! And thank you 😊- G
Happy belated birthday Ginger I hope your day went well....
Happy Birthday Ginger, wish you one amazing day with Mike.
Thank you, Carlos! It was fabulous 🥰 - G
Wow, this is going to be my third comment, but there is so much to talk about. Elizabeth Zahroff, aka The Charismatic Voice, feels the same way about science and evolution as you, and has a t-shirt you are going to love, Science is magic, but real. She wears it on her reaction of The Greatest Show On Earth. It's worth checking out, not only does she know what she's talking about, she's an accomplished opera singer herself.
Very cool! I shall give her a boo - G
Damn you cracked me up with the fish with legs comment lol, love your reactions guys.
for some reason .. the end of the song is more emotional for me ... love when they come out and interact with the fans ..
For me, this one, and “The phantom of the opera” with Tarja and Marco, are the most epic performances they have done. I love their other songs, but those are best to me, and “last ride of the day” is a close second to the first two.
Definitely one of Nightwishes songs I like the most! Also the shortest feeling long song I know...
Edit, almost always seem to get a tear at the "We were here"..
No this was one fabulous reaction! Margaritas and all :-) And really loved your lengthy discussion at the end, it was so great! Happy birthday Ginger! You look so much younger than you age btw.
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed it 😊 - G
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINGER..have a nice day,from Italy...Stay safe
Thank you ❤️ - G
Thank you to make my day. Best way to spend 40 mins after stressful hours at work. 🥰
🙏🏻❤️ - G
Happy birthday Ginger

Nice
Greetings from Denmark
Thank you! - G
happy birthday Ginger, you beautiful soul.
Thank you, Lovely! 🥰 - G
I will watch anything nightwish related. Happy bday btw.
I always end a mess with this song. What a powerful message behind three words: "We Were Here".
Indeed - G
What an awesome birthday present :-D
So happy you like it :)
Happy Birthday Ginger, on your special day!
☮🎇🎆✨🎉🎊🎃
Thank you!! - G
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag.. Wunderbare song, danke and bless.
Hallo, kann mich dir nur anschließen..
Two complete strangers spreading warmth and wit while enjoying a remarkable piece of art, certainly is a much appreciated gift to many, who are desperately seeking a reason to smile in pandemic times. Thank You!
That’s a lovely thing to say! Thank you. And you’re right. They don’t come much stranger than us 😜 - G
Happy Birthday G. Loved the reaction. You and Mike, please feel free to talk theory with us anytime :) Till next time.....
Thank you 🥰 - G
The utter genius of Tuomas,fantastic composition.
Indeed 🥰 - G
Floor's joyous facial expressions make you want to cheer them on like a football team!!
If you enjoyed Marco and Floor get their version of Ave Maria recorded in December 2019. The Finnish metal community put on a show that translates into Heavy Christmas this from there.
At Wembley Richard Dawkins joined the band on stage at the end of the song and did those words live.
Happy birthday Ginger! This performance is the most aptly named song ever... the greatest show on earth!
Thank you ❤️ - G
Happy birthday!!!!!🎉🎂🥂 I loved the comment, “...like the Oilers of the 80’s”! So funny and yet so true :) Fabulous reaction!! Greetings from Edmonton 🤣
Thank you! Waves back from Ontario! - G
@@MikeandGinger 👋🏻👋🏻
Happy 19th annual 29th birthday, Ginger!
Lol! Not sure that math holds up! Thank you - G
I read somewhere that critics, and even Steve Harris f Iron Maiden said this show propelled them to the top of the top tier of bands performing live today, and that they are really in a class of their own.
I believe it! - G
happy birthday Ginger, hope you have a great day.
Thank you! - G
Happy 21st birthday!
Haha 😉 Thank you - G
Happy birthday and thanks for good reactions.
Thank you 🙏🏻- G
Well that was an incredible video Mike and Ginger. Thank you so much :) Happy birthday Ginger!

Happy Birthday Ginger .. I just had my 46th Birthday last weekend :) so glad you guys reacted to this song... I love how Floor sounds and looks part Scorceress and part seraphim! *sigh* The only woman I ever loved (apart from my wife, Dr Alice Roberts, Nigella Lawson and Gillian Anderson) 😃😃
Thank you, James! I love her, too 😁 - G

Happy birthday beautiful Ginger. this is a great choice for your birthday. Floor's parents were present at this concert. Floor lives in Finland but is originally from the Netherlands. hope you have a nice day, thanks again for this comment video. Still a lot of Nightwish to go and then prepare for Poet and the pendulum 😘
Floor did live in Finland for a short time, but now lives in Sweden.
Thank you 🙏🏻- G

Happy Birthday Ginger hope you had a fantastic day !!!!!!! I find it interesting but I was brought up to think quite differently about the origins of mankind !!!!
It was fantastic! Thank you 😊 - G
Awesome reaction guys. You've become my favorite reaction channel, especially for Nightwish reactions. Keep them coming. Happy birthday Ginger!!!!!
Thank you, Gary! Glad to have you aboard! - G
Happy birthday, Ginger.
Thank you! - G
Happy existance day ❤🙏 thanks for sharing your reaction.
Thank you 😅 - G
Have been waiting for this one guys
Happy birthday G.
So glad you did this version. I think it is better than the Wemberly version.
Fun fact: Tuomas was studying to become a biologist before a turn in his career🤣🤣🤣
Floor: Enter LUCA
Marko: Enter Ionia
Emppu: Enter Sandman
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a song to pick for your birthday.
Could see you getting emotional at the end, G. I've seen it countless times and I still get emotional.👍🏻👍🏻
On the subject you are talking about at the end, you might find this interesting.

Thank you! Enjoy 😊- G
So was Floor
@@granthoule7418 Yes I did hear that👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Emppu... ^^
@@nietzscheente1271 Yep Emppu is great👍🏻👍🏻
Happy birthday Ginger! Witnessing you loving this theme I highly recommend the documentary 'Richard Attenborough: A Life on our Planet' to you. It's his living testament to us all. A MUST see !!!
Thank you! ❤️ - G
I am currently reading Richard Dawkins' The Greatest Show On Earth, because of this song 🙂
The pipe is an Irish Low Whistle. That's the big brother of the Tin Whistle.
It is Irish but it’s an Uilleann Pipes
@Mike, thats the 2nd instrument from Troy, Florian is talking about the 1st ;-)
@ M B sorry yes my mistake. Its my first reaction to this video 👍
8:44 She's the first I've seen, and trust me I think I've seen all reactions to this song, who noticed the shoes from Floor. They have in fact little unicorns heels as you can see in this picture. i.pinimg.com/originals/ca/c8/a0/cac8a0ab16d7889096388768610b744e.jpg
I ALWAYS notice the shoes 😜 - G
Great picture (marilyn monroe effect)! :P
Since you've seen lots of reactions to this song, I gotta ask you something. Have you ever heard a reactor notice the EDM beats after the _Enter Sandman_ riff? I've never heard anyone notice but I'm sure I haven't seen them all.
@@AGDinCA No I have never seen anyone notice the EDM part on their own. They always get told in the comments and then
@@ieradossantos Yep, that's kinda what I was thinking, too. Thanks for the feedback.
Happy Birthday, Ginger! 🎂And guess what, it's mine too (22nd). Libra rules! I turned also 7. 🎆🎇 So that's why they did the fireworks. 😅
Happy Birthday to you! Thank you 🥰 - G
My delayed Happy Birthday wishes to You Ginger 🥂🌺
What in world would be better way to spend it than with Nightwish' stunning performance with all the fireworks 🎇
The Greatest show on Earth with the Greatest Band on Earth 🤘❣️
FYI, Nightwish got an unexpected Honor in particular for this Album, Endless Forms Most Beautiful. They published following news below on their Facebook. My sincere congratulations to the NW Band and to Master himself, Tuomas Holopainen ❣️🤘
”One new crab species (Tanidromites nightwishorum) was named after us in honor in particular for our 2015 album, ’Endless Forms Most Beautiful’, about the evolution of life.
The new species of crab was found in eastern Austria and lived during the late part of the Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. While dinosaurs dominated the land, parts of Europe were covered by a warm, shallow sea full of life. Tanidromites nightwishorum was discovered in a fossil coral reef. Crab diversity and abundance exploded for the very first time in their evolutionary history during the Late Jurassic in central Europe.
Thanks to Dr. Adiel A. Klompmaker and his colleagues for this truly fantastic honour (Adiel is curator of palaeontology, Alabama Museum of Natural History).
Thank you 😊- G
Happy birthday, Ginger 🎂🍾🎸🍹🍹🍹 🤪
Thank you! ☺️ - G
Happy Birthday Ginger 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you! - G
Amazing birthday gift! Happy birthday Ginger and many more years to come. Deep, awesome reaction, thank you both! Greetings from Tampere. Stay safe both of you!
Thank you 😊 - G
Happy Birthday 🎁
loved this wonderful and addictive reaction.

Thank you 😊- G
Mike: "Billions of years from now I could have a twin!" - He's already here: Vic Reeves (UK comedian)
This was a 10/10 reaction to this song - which was worthy of an amazing birthday present for sure (and belated Happy Birthday Ginger!). It's wonderful to see a reaction to this song from people who love Science, who are knowledgeable about the Universe and understand all the little brilliant references in the song, who appreciate the genius of the music, who do all their pauses in the right time and who have such interesting things to say. One of the top 3 best reactions to The Greatest Show on Earth that I've seen.
On a more personal note, I'm an atheist and a scientist and I live in wonder, I wake up everyday grateful and excited to be alive, it's such an amazing feeling to look everywhere and see such awesome things - in the truest sense of the word - and to try to learn about them and how they came to be. As Carl Sagan once said "We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself", what grander view of life is there? This song really expresses all of that in such a wonderful, exciting way. And you guys _get it_ and it was a joy to see this video. You've gained a new sub and I can't wait to see other reactions from you.
Thank you! It was a wonderful experience for us, too! - G
