I love how Marcela is still THE voice until the very end. You simply cannot miss her.
Marcella is incredible
Sisters, Irene and Floor Jansen..the dynamic singing duo. Both have been singing with Arjun since the late teens/early 20's I believe. Its a kickbutt tight knit family of musicians :) Wonderful reaction...Thank you!
Floor started working with Arjen in 2000 (Universal Migrator album). Irene joined them for the Star One tour in 2002, I believe. Cheers!
The one really giving it her all in the grand finale is "Ayreon Angel" Marcela Bovio. Once noticed, you can't miss it. See: 20:56 🖤 "More Ayreon soon, eh?" Yay! 🤘
That vocal goddess is SO underglorified (couldn't think of a better word to use there. Underapreciated just doesn't cut it)
So great!
With Floor, her sister Irene, and Arjen working together so long, that swell in their vocals will be 100% on purpose.
So true - a bloody choir of awesome lead singers.
As you said, properly EPIC.
Awesome reaction/analysis ! I get chills every time I hear this a capella vocal ensemble. "More Ayreon soon?" Yes, please !!!
Goosebumps every time I see all those singers come in to sing the final part of this song. 👍
Same here. Every time. So looking forward to next September 😉
The way you gut and expose the innards of this stuff is so impressive to me. But the best part is that you know to appreciate something like the incredible moment of having this particular choir. Well done sir, well done.
I hope you never stop doing these reactions. You are by far the most knowledgeable and well spoken person that I've heard do music reactions. Perfect balance of analysis, genuine reaction, pausing and comparisons. Also your intro piece is FIRE. Very dream theater in my opinion. I'd like to hear more of your compositions.
Ive seen vocal reactors stream interviews with vocalists from various bands. I would absolutely love to see you do the same with bands composers, asking them questions about their musical composition. I feel that that would be incredible to see.
I'm going to The Netherlands to see Ayreon LIVE in September!
And yes that is Jonas Renske of Katatonia!
Great! Staying here to do the same 😄
@@benbermusics Australia here! Haha
First powerful start from Damian Wilson, then hard rock John Cuijpers plus double dose of Jansen sisters, and then Everybody 🤘🤩🤘.
This song is a tribute to the "Stargate" movie 1994 (An interstellar teleportation device, found in Egypt, leads to a planet with humans resembling ancient Egyptians who worship the god Ra.).
Huge Stargate fan here by the way 😁!
And this song is from Arjen's another projects called "Star One". there are 3 of them now (I have them all on vinyl), they are not concept albums, but tributes to many different sci-fi movies and TV-shows
This was AWWESOME !!!!
NWSU/Ayreonaut ✌😎🤘.
somehow I always think this song is from ITEC, since it has an egyptian in it (Anneke!)
I discovered Aryeon in the spring while decorating. I had Amazon music playing Nightwish, then it went into a few other bands but then Aryeon started playing and I was hooked 😀 The windows were open and the volume was up! 😁 You can't get bored listening because it has so many elements ❤️
Love watching your reviews especially when you tinker on the ivories 😀
One of the most underrated English singers at the beginning, Damian Wilson. And of course the Jansen sisters, Floor and Irene. Too many other great musicians and vocalists to list except maybe Anneke van Giersbergen, Marcela Bovio, Arjen Anthony, Marko Hietala and Michael Mills. And of course Joost van den Broek on keys.
Definitely more Ayreon soon. Yes it was Jonas. This concert was amazing.
Great reaction again bro! Learning so much from you! Thnx for sharing your knowledge and points of view in a very fine and understandable way. It feels like chilling with good friends. So cheers! 🍻
Arjen is a musical genius and I'm glad I scored some tickets for his upcoming new live show next year in Tilburg, Holland. Show was sold out in minutes, so I'm extremely happy 🤘🏻🎸
The iconic "whistling" synth tone... I always thought it was Arjen's tribute to Isao Tomita. Tomita used a similar tone in "The Planets".
I'm familiar with Ayreon but didn't know this song. I'm basically here for your analysis and you didn't disappoint. Also, that ending *is* 🔥
Ah, not an Ayreon song is possibly why!! This is actually a Star One song which is one of Arjen's other projects and they have scattered a few Star One songs in this concert. You can see it done live way back in the early 2000s as well with baby faced versions of all involved here: ruclips.net/video/h1oXlZzIQ-4/видео.html.
8:10 he singing "I have finally found the key" and you trying to find the key lol
Oh thanks for this reaction! Live it was a fantastic performance! On the album Star One - Space Metal this song is much longer, but this was dynamite as a show closer!
Just absolutely loooove the way you do these! ❤️🤘🎶 And the accent!
My bluray of that show is one of the things I will grab on my way out if my house is burning down. Amazing show.
I really enjoy picking out everyone's vocals lol. I would put money on Mike Mills being one of the ones up there with Anneke ha. Marcella just belting for everything it's worth. Can always find Marko's voice.
I just have no idea how they manage to get all these people in the one place at the one time. I can't even get 5 people to get together for a pub meal lol
17:43 That is Floor Jansen & her Sister "Irene" harmonizing.
I was at this concert, these concerts actually happen only one weekend every 2 years (though the last one was in 2019 due to corona). Anyway, the next one will happen in septebember 2023. Tickets for 4 of those concerts are already sold out but this week an extra show was announced, for which the ticket will go on sale nov 24th :). For those interested :D
Hello and thank you for your reactions.
Of course, besides the vocalists already mentioned by other users, there are also Hansi from Blind Guardian and Anneke from The Gathering. I recommend both of you great voices. And this drummer is probably Ed Warby, the same one from "the day the world breaks down" that you've seen before. Great sense of rhythm and music.
Regards
Hey, you are getting back to Ayreon! I really like your analysis of the music. And I hope to see more Ayreon soon, especially with analysis of the music. As a musician I find it really interesting to disect music like this! Maybe do the whole concert? It is available as a playlist on RUclips... 😉
I really, really enjoyed how you approached this one. Thank you.
In my humble opinion, this is the greatest gathering of singing talent ever. Sure there are live aid, band aid, etc. but in popular music you can get away with not being the greatest singer, but Arjen does not invite anyone to participate in his project that is not world class, so everyone on that stage is at the top of their field.
Arjen wrote this great song after seeing the movie Stargate.
Last song of the concert.
I miss your reaction video... please check and reaction video of alipbata "July 97" I'm sure you will be surprised he plays electric guitar
Don’t try to explain everything but feel it.
I was feeling it from the waist down. But I can't film that.
The kind of key work in the beginning is done bij Uriah Heep's Ken Hensley on the Return to Fantasy album in the mid seventies and another thing is the second singer who reminds me of Ronnie James Dio.
Again, I LOVE this format! Listen, then go back and analyze. I learn sooo much this way as a layman, non-musician. Awesome reaction! Cheers
Thanks Michael, I don't always do things this way - but if I have a little more time on my hands when filming it's a fun way to do it, for sure!
Floor and Joost met at an Arjen project. So Joost became a band member of After Forever (1996 - 2008, playing different kinds of Metal).
He was composing together with the band and playing the piano/keyboard.
This Masterpiece for me is worth listening
ruclips.net/video/73-_F9prx4I/видео.htmlsi=4Jf-SEgRWZwrSlfC
And Joost is still working with Arjen and as a producer for Epica, Powerwolf.
Hey, man, I understand making the uncut version available only on Patreon, but I would welcome an option to pay just for specific reactions, not monthly. I don´t know if that´s possible, but you know, everybody has their favorite bands.
Not sure if Patreon allows that, but will have a look - cheers!
I love it when the Jansen sisters sing together on stage
Ayreon Universe is packed with amazing performances of brilliant compositions by the best singers out there backed by a near perfect band. You should do some more reaction/analysis if for no other reason than that you're bound to love what you get to hear.
If you have to pick one I would say The blackboard/the theory of everything but there is plenty there to enjoy. After seeing bits of this on RUclips I bought the CD, my first Ayreon album....then later I bought the Blu-ray, I have never felt the need to do that for one performance before!
I always wondered if Arjen picked the keys that this piece would be in based on both their similarity and difference. It starts in C minor, and that's our home key, representative of the humans who are travelling the Stargate to the other side of the galaxy (NB: the song is about the movie Stargate). And when they get there (with the Archeologist recounting the tale), the key centre goes up a major 2nd to D (not d minor, but D dorian, with a flat-5 sometimes popping in there - d e f g a-flat b c d...and sometimes a flat-6 too, so just like D natural minor), which is not THAT related to C minor, so it feels foreign and weird when you hear it, but it's also not that far away from C minor on the circle of fifths (C minor goes to G minor goes to D minor, so just 2 steps away), and there are quite a few common notes there (mainly D and G, and sometimes that weird, locrian-sounding flat-5), so it is not utterly foreign-feeling either (as the humans, upon travelling via Stargate, find another human-like race, and an Earth-like planet which is kind of like their home). And then they use what is in effect an inverted G powerchord in the vocals (Irene and Floor sing a D and G) to go back to C minor at the end. But note the absence of the third in that transition key; in D minor, the 4th of the key is G minor, which has a Bb in it, but because they're moving BACK to C minor, Arjen leaves the third out (in fact, they've been singing a B natural earlier in the Floor-Irene part anyway), so it feels like the dominant chord of C minor (and indeed, serves that function, as this is how we get back to C minor). And thus, returning to the home key represents the hope of returning home for the protagonists of the film.
Just a thought.
Anda ketinggalan Alip bata ada reaction yang terbaru judulnya juli 97, coba reaction..
I love your interpretation on the whistle in the beggining of the song, I never thought about it, I will never listen that the same way again
You didn't miss Jonas, So you next should be Comatose for the same concert. My favorite song next to day 11: Love
You realy should watch the entire concert , Areon universe live in your free time you will enjoy every minute of it and have tons to analyse.
Again job well done John, and yes that is Jonas Renske ^^

Kopi mana kopi...mantaf 😊❤️👍
In all of the reaction video's I've seen of this song ... you are the ONLY one who says: ..."Hey, is that Jonas Renske from Katatonia?"
John you beautiful bastard, we were i school together and you were brilliant then.
Kenapa Kang ga reaction Alip Ba Ta lagi...😁😁😁 kangen reaction nya...
The whistle tune you hear and similar sounds are often used in new-age electo/synthesiser music. Vangelis, for instance, has used it quite frequently in his compositions. Maybe you might know it from songs in that genre?
The Grandfather of Heavy Metal is Classical Music
If you like Ayreon should also check out Star One which is also a project from Arjen Lucassen
ruclips.net/video/SRonYj9QSeE/видео.html
Just having a brainwave: Maybe it's time you met Arjen, first on the internet and maybe later personely? two people having the same pasion that "could" inspire each other. B.T.W. Great Britain and the Netherlands is a short distance.👍👍👍
Everyone loves this concert finally. Based and inspired by the movie "Stargate".
However, you personally would probably love "Star of Sirrah" from this same show. Some impressive guitar work. The vocals are also very good with a little surprise thrown in. ruclips.net/video/3dEHQNAZsIo/видео.html - Star of Sirrah
The drums on this song reminds me of a John Bonham groove. Loved it John! Be well.
What a glorious way to end a show! Great reaction and analysis as always! Star Of Sirrah next from the same show maybe? Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
This was the final and for my feeling the concert was much to short. I was there.
Hey John, have you noticed that this kind of audience (prog rock, symph metal, etc.) can hold a beat? I'm used to NOT listening to the audience clapping cause they're always off, but listening to NW or Ayreon it's no problem. Do bands like these select their audience? Like you have to demonstrate keeping a beat before you're allowed to enter? No beat? Next! 😁
Floor and her sister😃(at the beginning)
I miss you when you react to Pak Alip Ba Ta :)
Can someone tell me what creates the creaky organ tone in the beginning when Damian begins to sing? I imagine it's an mechanical/electric artifact from the instrument and a nice example of imperfections creating more beauty.
Dude out of all the progressive metal you listened to I can't believe there's no reaction to NeObliviscaris. Forget Not or Devour Me Colossus would be a good start. Two vocalists,two lead/ rhythm guitars,an amazing bass,mind blowing drummer and last but not least a distorted violin to die for all mixed perfectly without drowning out each other and sounding muddy. If you like Opeth you will like these master musicians. Thanks brother.
Changing the subject somewhat, allow me to recommend How Can I? by Steve Hackett and Driving to Amsterdam by Khan, among so many others ...
Ayreon is absolutely amazing live.
And it's very hard to figure out at first listen (as a musician myself I constantly try that too 🤣) so it's probably best to just let it wash over you - and *then* analyse the song ;)
As a suggestion, if you'd like to take this to the next level:
The Flower Kings.
Swedish band, and they create songs of absolute beauty... Constantly changing and evolving, and yet instantly accessable at first take!! That's really hard to pull off, but that's exactly what they do.
I'd recommend their song "Stardust We Are" (titeltrack from their '97 album). Really worth it to listen to - multiple times 😎👍
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Just depends on my mood that day, or time constraints, or lack of.
Have also been into The Flower Kings for a quite a while. Great band. You ever listen to Kaipa?
Have you check out "Fate of man" from the latest Star One record by Arjen? It has some great guitar driven riffs.
Really don't care that much of this kinda music, but their drummer Ed Warby is amazing. Love his (sort of) solo band The 11th Hour. And of course Gorefest (RIP)

Intro sound reminded me of "Jeff Wayne - The Eve of the War" at 4:32u and at the end of the song. Great reaction though :)
Ayreon always great. Maybe you can do Intergalactic Space Crusaders. I think you are going to love that one. 🫶🤘
Would love to get your reaction to some Fates Warning ⚠️. Still Remains is a great tune
I dont think anything in this accidental or coincidental in this. This is all thought-out... By Arjen Lucassen and also Joost van den Broek
hallo brother how are you. I miss u reaction to alib ba ta
Hii Mr..Please reaction voice of baceprot (VOB) band hijab from indonesia
Hi JW.
Please react to Alip ba ta - 97 juli
Hi there. I like your reactions a lot and i get a sence of what you like. Check out Katatonia-July. I think you`re gonna like it. A swedish band that been around for a bit. Greetings from Sweden
Hi! I've been a Katatonia fan since around the year 2000! One of my favourite bands. Seen them live on their Viva Emptiness and Great Cold Distance tours! I have an analysis of I Am Nothing on my patreon. I know July very well, great song!
@@JWSoundworks2 Nice. They have a new single out now "Atrium". New album out in January. Can't wait 🤟 Have a nice weekend 🙏🍺
Reaction alip ba ta july 97 bro pleaseee
Please react new original alip ba ta "juli 97" thanks bro...
As a musician, I'm fairly picky about reactors and analyzers. You are great at what you do. Thanks for this and many others that I've enjoyed. Have you listened to Cateen (Hayato Sumino)? Pianist that might be most famous for his Chopin playing, which I know you're into, but he does a lot of other creative stuff too. He did a Jazz piano + cajon cover of Queen's "We Will Rock You", that you might appreciate since you said they are your favorite band. ruclips.net/video/c24qn3ZxJ18/видео.html
Sir please React Alipbata ❤️🇮🇩
Alip ba ta again
The ONLY thing I don´t like about this song is that they skipped the part with the solos.
Great reaction!!! Arjen is a musical genius!! Here's a link to the whole concert including all the songs with all these singers from this concert!!
ruclips.net/p/PLJGn3wi7b7b606GfoKAdOgm6rtX9OliRc
Thanks for this. A wonderful, historic clip of magic
