to be fair - nobody outside evolutionary biology or atheism/theism will realy know Dawkins. I think it's awsome he coloborated with them, but he is not as widely known as one may think. Even within evolutionary biology he is not as published - his last publication was in 2010 with a very low impact score.

I will probably never understand what is so great for an adult to assign the members of his favorite band to any fairy tale characters. Do you usually do that too? my boss = the king the boss's wife = the wicked witch the cleaning lady = the dove from Cinderella my auto mechanic = the farrier my gynecologist = the cave troll Does that help to understand the world? Does that make life easier?

I have lost track on how many times I have watched this performance. Every single time I rewatch it I have watery eyes and I'm impressed from start to finish.

I highly recommend Nightwish from Wacken 2013: Everdream,Song of Myself,Romantacide,Wembley 2015:Poet & The Pendulum,Beste Zangers 2019: Floor sings: shallow,Winner,Phantom of the Opera,Vilja Lied & more

There are quite a few interviews of Tuomas Holopainen, keyboard player, poet and composer genius behind most of the Nightwish songs, where he tells about his creative process and answers questions how he writes songs.

"The Greatest Show on Earth" is a book written by Richard Dawkins. It is apparently the proof that we evolved from a paramecium. It has nothing at all to do with creation. A side note, in this particular case, the person doing the symphonic part in this song is none other than Richard Dawkins himself quoting a paragraph from the book.

I love this version just because of the fireworks. And the way they are tied directly to Tuomas on Keyboards.

about the metalica part... in this part of the song Tuomas the keyboardist who also is the composer of 90% of their music makes a small historical musical review so basicaly starts with a small vocal reference to ancient greek melos then has a part of toccata in d minor by Bach in it then Metalica..... enter Sandman

And there's a banjo riff, and after the Metallica part there are even a few techno drum beats. We could also think that history starts already from the tribal drumming in the beginning of the part III. Long time of man's history music was mostly such tribal beats, before what we call high cultures added intruments. High cultures who increased the interest in shiny rocks and giant mushroom clouds. Guess the idle upper class have too much time in their hands when they don't have to toil with the soil to eat: urbanized alienation sprouts its own fruits (unedible but enchanting and addictive).

nightwish is and always will be a thinking persons band.

Technically, you cut off the last part (basically spoken).

There is movie based on their album called "Imaginaerum " . There is also a documentary about how Floor jointed the band right in the middle of their US leg of the world tour. They asked her to join after tensions between the previous (Anette) vocalist and the rest of the band had rissen so high that they fired her. With close to a year still to go to complete the tour, and their next concert planned 2 day later they, needed a replacement fast. They called Floor because she had toured with them when she was part of the support bands"After Forever" and later "Revamp" on several occasions and they were quiet impressed by her vocals (who would not be?). She only had 2 days, including a flight from the Netherlands to the US, to learn the setlist and only had one rehearsal with the band a couple of hours before her first show and nailed it. Since they were making a documentary about the world-tour a lot of what happened was recorded. The documentary is called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJx52s2mh66zdbg.html )

Of course, it helped that Anette caught the Swine Flu badly in the US portion of the tour and was also found to be pregnant at the time. Anette said they fired her because of the pregnancy not the fact that they would have to cancel most of their remaining US tour dates.

@@jamesanderson5268 Anette wanted to postpone later legs of the tour because she was pregnant and the band didn't want that, that caused a lot of tension. They asked about perhaps using a replacement singer and Anette was on board with A replacement singer, but very much not on board with Floor because she thought fans would prefer Floor and not want Anette back. I mean, she wasn't wrong.

Music is one of the most influential mediums available to humanity. And this song does an incredible work. It uses the power of poetry and music to portray the history of the universe, the story of life, our common human journey, and the scientific quest for knowledge. The result both educates and inspires. It is one of the greatest musical pieces ever written.

Yeah!

You have the sweetest voice I ever heard

This never gets old. Kai grooving on his Pearl double-base set, Troy creating art on all kinds of instruments (he can play anything), Emppu driving the rhythm in his signature ESP EV-1, Marco giving us epic base lines in his Warwick Vampire while he sings out of his mind, Tuomas sharing his genius on his KORGs and Floor leading the crowd like a modern-day 6-foot 1-inch Valkyrie and seducing like a siren. They are all at the top of the talent tree. Each one alone could lead a band into greatness let alone all five of them. One of the best live performances of all time. Not only musically but staging and production is unmatched.

Lovely reaktion :) The brain behind most of their stuff is the man behind the keyboards, Tuomas Holopainen. The nearest documentary I know is about how Floor entered Nightwish, "Please Learn the Setlist in 48 hours" There is also documantarys of the making of the "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" and some of the "Imaginaerum"

Wish you'd been there, Marlene? Been among those 50000 or 80000 mesmerized fans who did sing along for they all knew those remarkable lyrics...

Greatest show on Earth is about the evolution... based on prof. Richard Dawkins' (evolutionary biologist) book.

My eyes always get a little moist by the end. It is Tuomas's magnum opus. Wove so many elements into it (ironic choice of words considering the subject) including Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" and Metallica's "Enter Sandman" riff (which you noticed). And Floor is just MAGNIFICENT - from those sweet high notes through to the animal noises.

Es una gran y en momentos emotiva canción hehe, more nightwish songs 😁🤘😎

All I can say is, always watch till there is no more to see. But I liked your response.

Always a shame when a reactor only listens to 80% of the song, and misses the part that is the real 'point' of the whole song (and the album), the summing up of everything that has gone before. But good reaction to the 4/5 of the song you did react to, and Tuomas' composition for that section is beautiful. It's a great song. I'm also always surprised at how many people are surprised by the fireworks being timed to the music as it has a long tradition in classical music going back over 250 years to The Music for the Royal Fireworks (HWV 351) is a suite in D major for wind instruments composed by George Frideric Handel in 1749 under contract of George II of Great Britain for the fireworks in London's Green Park on 27 April 1749. And on a similar vein the 1812 Overture takes it a step further as it is often performed with synchronised cannon firings!

Thomas The Mastermind of NIGHTWISH.

NIce reaction, but you stopped a little prematurely. There's a bit more music and a little narration from Richard Dawkins at the end. Check it out!

How they write their songs? It goes something like this: Tuomas (the guy on the keyboards) writes most of the lyrics and the music, records a demo, then he comes to the rest of the band and they discuss it, try stuff, others contribute and then they go to record it. :) There are a few notable exceptions, but that's roughly how most of their work is done. This song's lyrics have been co-written by Marco (the bass player and the male vocal). Tuomas wanted to be a marine biologyst and Marco is an astronomy enthusiast - and they come up with a songa bout life, universe and everything. :) Floor also has interest in biology so they really have a lot of science background in their formal and informal talks.

You have good taste...nightwish fan 😉

please listen and reaction also Storytime (the energy) and How's the Heart Acoustic version(her voice). You're mind blow away , so good!!! I'm proud she is Dutch (the Netherlands)

They DID a movie. It's called Imaginaerum and it's amazing!

Ghost Love score from Wacken 2013. They had 83k+ in the crowd. This crowd in Finland was about 25k. Ignore the negativity. You were great.

Actualy they did a movie, is called 'Imaginaerum' and was released in 2012 after the album with the same name.In that period of time they had Annete Olzen lead vocal.

You should react to their new album Human:Nature. On it all three singers (Floor, Marko and Troy) get to showcase their voices. I keep wondering how many keyboards Tuomas goes through because he really pounds on those keys.

ok wtf her face/smile is hella cute x ) nice hair : )

You don't really see but, the guy that plays the flute (Troy?) sings as well.

The best band on earth.

The original song is 21 mins. You just stopped it too early, miss the end...

18:07 They should do a movie with the song? This song is about the greatest story of them all and we are all part of it. Although some people still don't want to accept it due to a "holy book" and their arbitrary interpretation.

Thanks for the reaction. I would really appreciate a reaction to Iron Maiden. The best band in this world. ^^ If you have never heard Maiden it is not easy to make a good suggestion because there are a lot of really great songs. But you should always know a song and that is "Hallowed Be Thy Name" Thanks for reading. I would be really happy when you make a video. Nice greetings from Germany.

THE GREATEST SHOW (band) ON EARTH .

imho this is one of the three best songs (not just songs but pieces of art!) of the nightwish band, together with "ghost love score" live in the 2013 concert in wacken and "the poet and the pendulum" live in the 2015 concert in london wembley arena (possible next reaction?) from the 2013 concert in wacken, I also suggest the songs "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream", as always wonderfully sung by Floor Jansen.

You stopped the song before the song ended. Even if you don’t repair your video, listen to the whole thing, right through the credits until the screen fades to black. By not going right to the end, you actually missed the point that that production was meant to make. Do you also leave theatres before the movie is over, just to avoid the rush?

You seemed like you were really into it. You should watch it until the end of the video. your next Nightwish video should be Ghost Love Score or Yours Is A Empty Hope. Good luck with you Channel.

First of all, thank you for the reaction. I liked it. Second, you wondered how they write their songs, if there was a documentary. Yes, there is, it's like 17 episodes, but here is a playlist of all of them. It's a documentary about how they wrote Endless Forms Most Beautiful in 2015: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dHZlq9R6aKndorw.html Also, if you get angry comments about you missing part 5, never mind them. What you missed is one orchestral part while they say thanks to all the fans and one more fireworks display and some spoken word by Richard Dawkins. One can live without that.

Please do nightwish storytime next from the whaken concert

❤🤘

All I'm gonna say is : NIGHTWISH

18:03 - They have already done that! :-D With the songs of their Imaginaerum album. The movie is called Imaginaerum, too. You should watch it, it is great! :-) The style reminds of Tim Burton, with Nightwish music and with the band members appearing in it). You can find the trailer here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4Gc2cppXdvJfNI.html

I've never left a comment like this but I feel compelled to this time for some reason. I sometimes get a "vibe" or "impression" from people that I meet, or just observe, whatever. I got the impression that you are a very kind and caring person, interested in other people too ie empathic. I also get the impression that you are stronger than anyone, including yourself, knows. I get the impression that you would stand up against a, just as an example, NFL player if the situation called for it. I don't know what that situation might be, I'm not sure why I'm even writing this all out, but I feel like you could "bully a bully", and I think you will at some point maybe soon. I also think it will turn out well for all involved, thanks to you. I'm sorry if this is weird, I mean I know it is weird, but maybe its necessary I don't know. It will be fine though.

It's not end, you missed part 4 :)

You should check out "please learn the set list in 48 hours" it gives you side background on their current singer Floor joining the band

They did make a movie

Yeah, pity you missed the most important part, after the music stopped, or maybe even the fact that there was somebody talking in the background. When the boom boom bang bang stopped, it was over for you.This video is a piece of art that contains a message, from beginning to end. This is not a sports event, where the game is over when it's done, and the post game comments are irrelevant. But you will have time to learn that. OH SHIT. We don't have time, which was the message of this whole thing, WE WERE HERE, we were the greatest show on earth, and we blew it. Have a few nice years.

Do you think you are going to join us, the Nightwish Army?

Nice commentary, Ms. Mendoza. I enjoyed your perspective and your reaction to the changes. One minor criticism/suggestion. Please, for your own benefit, watch this to the end of the credits; you haven't heard the whole piece until then. It's all part of the performance.

Now I am at the end of the video. You did say that. :)

You have to let this song roll all the way to the end of the credits.

Great reaction...but plz ignore the ppl that are being mean. You did a great job. Nightwish is a very versatile band plays with their hearts on their sleeves. As in with alot emotion and passion, because they love what they do.

my youngest son said "she is so cuuuute". I agree.

you missed the last part, the part that summarized it all

nightwish is a production all songs have parts or sections

Oh And yes Floor sang from lyrics from start. She makes it one of her most important things to sing everything so much clear pronouncements as possible so that audience understands what she is singing. React to Tarja erä songs and you hear that in some songs even musucuians can't get clearance what she is singing. Her opera training hindered clarity of Tara's words on stage. Floor is exact opposite.

Then next: Story time?

Key thing with there songs is you need to watch the full video dont cut them off short or you can miss stuff. This song is a full 21mins long

My music teacher was a grumpy old man. Even so I became a musician. If I had this lady as a music teacher I would have been much more inspired. Maybe I would be famous instead of just entertaining myself. LOL!

Hey try Ghost Love Score Song of Nightwish which is awesome!
