The November 2015 show in New York at Webster Hall started late, so they had to cut out Valhalla from the encore. Audience members sang the entire song as they were leaving the stage and clearing it.
The fact that a crowd of that size was able to reach that level of volume and clarity is HIGHLY impressive. These guys should be very proud of this following. Congrats.
+sugoruyo Hehe, I see what you did there :) Very true though... even us, newish followers. +Joe Jackson If this (also see "Valhalla" crowd response from same show) doesn't make a band immortal, I don't know what does.
I was in their concert in Istanbul 2 years ago. the memories of the concert is fading away from my mind, but the bard's songs will remain, their songs will echo through eternity
For those 162 tossers who don't know the lyrics: Now You all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away We may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night Let's sing the bards' song Tomorrow will take us away Far from home Noone will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away The fear of today It will be gone Due to our magic songs There's only one song Left in my mind Tales of a brave man Who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over And it's time to leave Noone should ask You for the name Of the one Who tells the story Tomorrow will take us away Far from home Noone will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known And You're not alone So don't be afraid In the dark and cold 'Cause the bards' songs will remain They all will remain In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men And elves Come close Your eyes You can see them, too
@@johnrossiter197 Really, you tell this a German, who started his way into Metal with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zep in the early 70s, you stupid s**t?
I love how meta this song is... in a good way, I mean. "... the bard's song will remain", indeed. A song about the immortality of music and the power of a tale that's been immortalized and empowered by the listeners themselves. Just epic. It must feel like you're a god on that stage when this happens.
This is incredible, first time i see this kind of connection between the artist and the crowd, this is really fantastic performance to witness. Crowd: Bard's Song! Bard's Song! Bard's Song! Bard's Song! Hansi Kürsch (vocalist) : You'll get what you ask for! (Guitarist begins to play melody of Bard's Song) Crowd: Instantly starts clapping rhythmically. Sings the rest of the song together. Perfectly.
I've seen a tons of show, but I swear to God, this is the most awesome crowd ever ! What a feeling it must be for a band to play your song in front of an awesome crowd such as this one !
Been watching this for a while, but it just dawned on me that it was uploaded in 2006. No wonder there's such a lack of phones out in the crowd. Would've absolutely loved to be there at the time
I got to see Blind Guardian live in a small venue here and it was the best concert i've ever been to.m I wish they'd come back, or that I could afford to go see them in Europe.
@@xDxzT whats your problem if I record my favorite part of a song for a concert I've paid for so I can rewatch that video many years later and be nostalgic for those times
@@mirkecWii If you want to ruin your own experience by recording something, that's your choice. If nostalgia means reliving the memories of you recording a part of a song, be my guest. But take that phone OUT OF MY FACE. I want to _actually_ enjoy the moment.
@@mirkecWii your brain has this thing called 'memory' its an ability to be able to remember things from experiencing them and not having to see a recording to look back on it
Yeah brothers, I cry like a child just like you do!!! The band members can't control a smile while they play. That crowd, amusingly singing along, that's the greatest pleasure a musician can have.
I have never before, in ANY concert, seen such a coordinated, unified audience....they sung long and hard, loud and proud, together with and for their singer! and they did it so well too!! Clearly this band is TRUELY something special...the last few years i only knew two songs. Battlefield and Scalds And Shadows...... this, as well as a few others i tried in this concert, just.......wow......Where has this unified beauty BEEN all my life?? Not even Lamb Of GOD concerts match up to this! I honestly feel ashamed.....All the countless varying types of music i listen to, medieval included, but never listened to this band.......Forgive me, Guardians.....I guess I'm just now starting the trials....
Lyrics: Now you all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away We may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night Let's sing the bards' song Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away The fear of today It will be gone Due to our magic songs There's only one song Left in my mind Tales of a brave man Who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over And it's time to leave No one should ask you for the name Of the one Who tells the story Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known And you're not alone So don't be afraid In the dark and cold 'Cause the bards' songs will remain They all will remain In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of Hobbits, dwarfs and men And elves Come close your eyes You can see them too
These moments, when your mind and soul are one, when your chest swells with joy and pride, when your eyes get teary although you could not imagine to be happier, when all your worries and angers fade and only light remains - these are the moments you experience what it truly means to live. Without these, you might as well never have lived.
its so wonderefull how much of an impact such a simple song can have live i cant imagine how the band felt while performing the song and hearing the crowds voice all in one
Actually this is how it feel to be a god. When somebody chanting your words out of conscious. When the crowd come one and sing it as one man. Their own love and belive unite them. \m/ Thanks guardian!

Me 😂😂😂😂
I'm here to play this as a Bard in Final Fantasy XIV
No way it's 2024 already
me...and I am going to see this live in 2 days!!! :D
Me of course 👍
When the audience takes over your song...you know you've been immortalized
In none of the 4 BG shows I've been to, did the crowd let Hansi sing this on his own.
Lesser bands sing for the audience. Blind Guardian audiences sing for the band.
Must be russian, because in soviet russia crowd sing for you
Well damns...... One epic moment i would have wanted to be part of......

If this (also see "Valhalla" crowd response from same show) doesn't make a band immortal, I don't know what does.
should watch Valhalla from same concert its funny cuz they wont stop singing.
This is the best fucking audience ever.
i thought the same (just discovered blind guardian). no other audience would rule such "complicated" melody.
I've saw them live back in September, and Hansi has such perfect control over the crowd. Hansi is god, I don't care what anyone else says.
and it´s not a one of time that the crowd is as good as this.
it´s like that like everytime the play this song live...
You realize you've made a masterpiece, when the crowd sings it louder than you...
Petar Petrunov You know you've made it when the entire audience sings along :D
No smart phones then....
You know you've made a good comment, when it gets stolen and used as a 9gag title.

I was going to say 10 /10 sound :) sound guys rejoice :)
This should be renamed to "Blind Guardian ft. The crowd - The Bard's Song" fucking amazing
***** That's the secret. Blind Guardian *is* the crowd.
+Selur91 Maybe even "BG crowd ft. BG"
+Selur91 Wrong.. it should be renamed to ''The crowd ft. Blind Guardian - the Bard's song''
the last time a german had this much control over a crowd, poland got worried ;)

the best fucking song that can be performed live ever.
For those 162 tossers who don't know the lyrics:
Now You all know

When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again

About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs
There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home

Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone

Blind guardian has the best fans. Every song every concert they are like an army.
I can't believe I found this band only last week.
It's a big world out there, welcome and safe travels to you!
I me just now
You really are a lucky person, welcome here !
But now you are part of the family. Warm welcome
I've no idea why, but I can't stop crying while trying to listen to this.
And I love it.
Best reward for a band are fans who song with him ! What a nice CONCERT !!!
I've listened to this band for almost 15 years.Watching this made me sooo fucking happy.
This is incredible, first time i see this kind of connection between the artist and the crowd, this is really fantastic performance to witness.

Is this the best video on youtube or what?
+TheSpinser Nah, the best is the complete concert ;)
+MoonTiger AGREE!!! They even sing the bloody intro haha!
Manowar have a couple live audience sing along vids the crown and ring in France I think.
and in 2021 this is still one of the greatest songs and performances ever.
It's truly timeless! (2023)
I'm crying! This is such a great song and these people are amazing!!

I wish concerts like this existed in the states
This is what they sing in Valhalla.
I wished I was there... So Awesome!
When you can perform live and only need to sing a third of your song, you know you've made it.
This is just Beautiful, the way music brings people together
2019 and the bard's still playin' that tune kids
That guitar playing is masterful

Is anyone still here? still inseparable from the past...
