Arjen should make an album with Irene Jansen as the lead vocalist. Shame she never had a band, she's just as good as her sister. She really deserve to be something else than just a guest for some diverse projects.
She does deserve all the acknowledgement and love, but she seems really happy as a university lecturer! The touring and/or musician life isn't for everyone. It's lovely that she is willing to share her talent with us on these unique occasions
That ending with Marcela and Irene trading Floor's lines was absolutely amazing, those ladies never disappoint! And yes, I must confess that at first I thought it was Floor. That's what I get for watching this on my phone 😅
It was AMAZING to see this performed live! One of my favourite pieces ever created being played right in front of me!!!!!!! Truly an unforgetable experience
@@harryhirsch2677 Universe his mic was either way too low or the backups was too high. Plus for this set of shows Blind Guardian we’re doing festivals all summer plus an earlier tour. And are now doing Europe and South America
@@Brendo2386 I was there Friday and Saturday. Especially compared to the other singers, he was … different. Also the encore in the 6th extinction was shortened, which is sad, one of my favourite parts :(
01011001 is already a pretty lengthy album, so I didn't expect much to follow. They they dropped Fate of Men on us which Brittney absolutely slayed (pun intended), This Human Equation with the ever lovely and angelic voice of Simone and they finished it all off with this one. So yeah, quite an awesome ride.
She's certainly won the people's choice 'award'. INSANE range, but I prefer Marcela Bovio, Anneke, and Simone Wish Brittney used some vibrato to avoid sounding so 'flat'.
Thanks for the upload. Great sound. Impressions so far: musicianship is solid, as one should expect, no surprises there. The singers - I've been less than impressed by a few, but that's how it is. Anneke is the best here by far. Dunno what I expected from Michael Mills, that part is impossible to sing live. Fully expected Marcela to sing the final part, but having Irene there was a nice surprise (I guess it takes two to match Floor :) Floor, of course, has another live production to take care of at the moment. Great show overall. Doesn't look as epic as the Universe, but who knows, maybe it will on the official release... :)
I think Michael Mills' vocal part doesn't quite work just here on this video because of the difference between the volume of his voice and backing tracks. I think closer to the center of the hall it should sound better and on the official blu-ray it will sound just perfect. As for the rest of the singers, I liked everyone except the guy who replaced Tommy Karevik, it wasn't very good.
I hate you for recording this when they very explicitly asked you not to. I do appreciate it though, as a journalist reviewing the show whose notes for this song mostly read "AAAAHHHHH ASDF FUCK YES AHHHH" 😅
people are prob going to hate me, but i was there Friday night, First thing Mike Mills says is please do not record the show since Arjen is going to be professionally recording it for people not there.. sigh
I love how, unlike the studio version, Hansi begins singing surprisingly clear and melodic and getting progressively harsher towards the end of the verse. In the studio version he keeps the same level of medium harshness through it all which is cool too, but this is much more dynamic.
Hansi absolutely killed it! I can't remember which song it was, but the one where he led the choir of all singers with a lead line was such an epic moment! I'm so happy Arjen utilises Hansi so much in his music
@@jobraketTonight? I was there tonight and it didn't sound much better 😅 Friday was better though, but this is such a hugely demanding part to sing. Tommy is hard to emulate 😅
Maybe a stupid question, but I can't find the information on when on saturday this was recorded. Anyone that can clear that up for me? Thanks in advance!
So, Mile Mills sitting on the side of the stage and saying "please don't film the show" meant nothing.. i mean, i understand getting a few cheeky stills and maybe 10 seconds of your favourite vocalist, but uploading a 14 minute video to RUclips is well outside the spirit of things.

You mean one of the fan favorite albums: The Human Equation?
She was a main character in The Human Equation.
@@victornunes9875 I know. Her vocals are fabulous in this album, that's why i want to hear more of her.
@@vince300100 she is indeed a great vocalist.

Thank you for uploading this for those of us who cannot travel halfway around the world to see a concert.
It was AMAZING to see this performed live! One of my favourite pieces ever created being played right in front of me!!!!!!! Truly an unforgetable experience
We were there yesterday afternoon and it was awesome. They also recorded it professionally for a DVD/Blue Ray. 🖤🤘
Really hope they release it digitally again like the last two cause the blue ray could take a while to come out.
Was at the same show, epic!
@@stefanosiciliano4270 It should also get to RUclips!
Hansi always puts a smile on my face
But his singing was off. To weak. Where was his big voice?
Saw two shows and it felt really strange…
@@harryhirsch2677 Universe his mic was either way too low or the backups was too high. Plus for this set of shows Blind Guardian we’re doing festivals all summer plus an earlier tour. And are now doing Europe and South America
@@AJwiththeAK ja i guess something like that. But was really looking forward to him especially.
@@harryhirsch2677where were you then because I saw 4 shows, near front of stage, in the middle and on the balcony and all were great to me
@@Brendo2386 I was there Friday and Saturday. Especially compared to the other singers, he was … different.

Simone killing it, seeing another side of her voice here! Also, she sang every tone perfectly 😊
So happy to see Maggie Luyten back on such a huge stage!
I was blessed to have witnessed this LIVE 💫💥💫💥💫💥💫💥💫💥💫💥💫💥💫
Anneke in "this is not over" part should illegal! Amazing!
We were there last night, great concert with top sound. Spoke to many people from various countries, conviviality at its best in the center of Tilburg
Magali Luyten NAILED Nils K. Rue's part? Second time she's stepped into someone else's Ayreon role and shone so brightly!
The best crowd reaction ever, when WE discoverd what's about to happen 🤘
Hahaha I see myself standing in the barriers on in the right corner. 😂 it was epic to work these shows❤
Thanks for the video. It reminds me why they asked people to keep their phones in their pocket and wait for a proper release.
Amen
proper release?? the official videos are TERRIBLE (except for the sound quality) having a camera just set in one place is soooo much better to watch
omg thank you for this. i DESPISE the official releases because of all the jump cuts, it gives me a massive headache. this video is so much better!!!!
This was just wonderful. Standing in the audience I knew why Ayreon was my biggest inspiration when writing Ardarith.... Thanks for the video, mate
Thanks a lot for these examples of how the show was, Anthony!
Awesome stuff, must have been great to be there, especially dropping this piece at the end!
It truly was the cherry on top ❤
01011001 is already a pretty lengthy album, so I didn't expect much to follow. They they dropped Fate of Men on us which Brittney absolutely slayed (pun intended), This Human Equation with the ever lovely and angelic voice of Simone and they finished it all off with this one.

i was there for this and i hope the source is the next album he does for us live. il be there for that too.
WOW this was AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU for uploading!!!!!
Awesome, you had a great weekend, thanks for sharing
Brittney was the star of the show
I agree she Slayed it.
Britney & Mike Mills for me
Tom Englund was amazing
She's certainly won the people's choice 'award'. INSANE range, but I prefer Marcela Bovio, Anneke, and Simone
Wish Brittney used some vibrato to avoid sounding so 'flat'.
Anekke is amazing
i was there. I am still recovering from the impression, I wish I could be there again... but hey, everyone must have a dream.
Gracias, gracias, gracias por subirlo ❤
Damn, I see Brittney Slayes in there too at the end...didn't know she was part of this. Awesome!
anneke KILLING it as usual same for Marcela...
Whahaha I see myself headbanging in the public, great performance
I cry ❤
I always tought this song song couldn't be done live and i was right sorry the org, is the best from this millenium
A masterpiece. Great !!! ♥
That moment when you realise what song it is. That perfect perfect moment.
I should have been there... glorious
I’m just here for Brittney Slayes, supporting my girl. But I love everyone here.
Thanks for the upload. Great sound.

You should have been there. It's been epic!

Tom's voice❤
Comic book guy, is that you?
It actually looked way more epic than Universe, but only from the right spot (straight before the stage). From the back it looked absolutely stunning.

It is Google that does that. If you don't want adds you can buy a premium account for RUclips for 13,- per month or so.
Floor now has an official double. Until recently I thought it was her.
it's her sister Irene. If you watch the Star One DVD from 2002 they look even more alike there
@@Draztikus I know that this is her sister 😉 especially since I have known for a long time that she also sings for Ayreon.
I hate you for recording this when they very explicitly asked you not to. I do appreciate it though, as a journalist reviewing the show whose notes for this song mostly read "AAAAHHHHH ASDF FUCK YES AHHHH" 😅
I was hoping these shows would be filmed for a relase, but i don't see any cameras. Maybe one of the other dates?
This is from the 16th. Shows were recorded on 17th
When will be the day which Tobias Sammet apears on a Ayreon live!!!!!!
people are prob going to hate me, but i was there Friday night, First thing Mike Mills says is please do not record the show since Arjen is going to be professionally recording it for people not there.. sigh
maybe if their videos didn't suck ppl wouldn't record.
So you really have Simone, Aneke and Floor (Irene ?) on the same stage live. OK.
OMG
No Floor
@@musicman717 was it Irene ? I cant see well
It's Irene. You forgot to mention Britney, Marcela and Maggie.
@@svenjensen9770 holy cteap
Marjan Welman was also singing
00:10 Crow sounds
Hansi @6:00
I love how, unlike the studio version, Hansi begins singing surprisingly clear and melodic and getting progressively harsher towards the end of the verse. In the studio version he keeps the same level of medium harshness through it all which is cool too, but this is much more dynamic.

Focus on the shirtless dude on the fouth row!
Is there any where I can see a list of who was there performing?
If an artist asks you not to film, you don't film. Luckily most people did honour that request. Wait for the bluray.
Who is doing LaBrie part?
Were any of these shows filmed?
013 Tilburg.
I was there.
Dont worry theres going to be a pro blu ray.
Who Did Tommy's part any idea?
Tommy Karevik? It's Daniel Gildenlöw I guess.
Butchered it 😑
@@nebs76 Big time. it sounded really bad
He sounds super weird here, but he absolutely nailed it tonight.
@@jobraketTonight? I was there tonight and it didn't sound much better 😅 Friday was better though, but this is such a hugely demanding part to sing. Tommy is hard to emulate 😅
Maybe a stupid question, but I can't find the information on when on saturday this was recorded. Anyone that can clear that up for me? Thanks in advance!
Saturday evening. I was at the earlier matinee show.
@@pvandewyngaerde Thanks! Then it was at the show I attended. I suspected that, but wasn't sure. Anyway, we had a fantastic experience, didn't we?
Ayreon merchandise
Did he actually memorize every 0 and 1 correctly?

Yeah, I am in Australia and have no hope of ever seeing this done live, so I would want to see the material professionally recorded
C'mon man
