This is from their 2015 concert at Wembley Arena in London. You have now met Troy, Nightwish's multi-instrumentalist. He starts off by play a guitar with an Ebow which vibrates the strings electronically to make the guitar sound like a Viola or Cello. He then plays the Irish Uillean or Elbow pipes. (bellows under right elbow bag under left). He also plays various Whistles and the Irish Bouzouki amongst other instruments. He also adds the 3rd harmony. The narrator and final speaker is Richard Dawkins the evolutionary biologist. The birth and evolution of Earth and man in 20 minutes.

Fireworks, sure. But this version blows it away musically, so it is the best one to react to. This is the one at Wembley in London in 2015. Floor singing and Kai on drums. This concert was my first ever introduction to Nightwish. I took over the ticket of a work colleague who couldn't go. I've been a fan ever since. This song is the story of Earth, from its first formation round the sun to the present day and the increasing likelihood of our wrecking it. Troy's bagpipe is an Irish instrument called an Uilleann pipe (elbow pipe, not blown by mouth). At the end was professor Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologist, who wrote the book on which the whole tour was based. Troy brought it with him when he joined the band and he and Tuomas put together the structure.

Doesn't matter how much drama there is in the band. He's just always having the time of his life.

"We priviledge few..." does not only refer to the babies that didn't make it alive but the possible humans from the mix of different eggs and sperms - about the chances of you being you. When we go even deeper in that message, there is their brand new song Perfume of the Timeless talking about the change you even to exist in the form you are and how much things have made it possible. "You are because of a million loves".

Nightwish completely changed my life for the better 😊.

Thank you for your reaction.🥰 Wait until you see Poet and the pendelum, you will cry. But first learn what is behind of that song.🙏 How much pain and agony. It is a mestarpeace.❤

Some hints about the lyrics "Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone" The Goldilocks zone" it´s a region about an star where you can find water and maybe... life ."Enters LUCA". LUCA it´s the acronym for "Last Unique Common Ancertor" "Ion channels welcoming the outside world". Senses works with ion channel "Little Lucy of the Afar" it´s a reference to "Lucy", an really good and famous fossil of an Australopithecus afarensis, an ancestor of humanity Oh, and "this man" it´s Richard Dawkings, a famous british evolutionary biologist, zoologist, and author of many books, and inspiration of this song

Earth is an example of a planet within a "goldilocks zone" of our sun. Just in the right spot to support carbon-based life (as we understand it). Not a frozen planet or a burning one and Earth is not Tidal locked to the sun (it spins) if it was locked then one side would be too hot and the other too cold but still possible to have life (as we know it) pop up in the band between the two sides only.

Don't miss their songs 'Endless Forms Most Beautiful' and 'Tribal.' Spectacular! And a wonderful reaction - beautiful and heartfelt.

This is such a beautiful story. It makes you feel alive and lucky and aware of what we are doing with our planet. It is not just music. It indeed is an experience. You are very right. Does not matter if you hear it a hundred times, you will still cry by the sheer beauty of the music and the message. They are such wonderfull people. And what a Wisdom. They are on an epic level of their own.

Please correct me if i’m wrong, this song is about the evolution of our planet and all living things in it. I believe it was inspired by a book by Richard Dawkins. The Nightwish Army will certainly correct me if i am totally wrong 😃 Good Reaction, keep on going!! Greetings from the Netherlands

This happened to be the first Nightwish song I stumbled across back in 2019. Since then my eyes tear up every time I hear this song (as well as a lot of the others....). Have you noticed the use of the "enters ..." to get into the next stages of our evolution? Floor: enter LUCA Floor: enter Life Marco: enter Ionia Floor: enter history Floor: enter ratkind Emppu: Enter Sandman And then in the next album Human Nature: Enter Music

Emppu the guitar master!🤘🎸

The music in the end is a real part of the song!

You are right. This isn't a song, but an experience. Richard Dawkins was the narrator/speaker in the end of the song and Troy was playing the Irish Uillean Pipes

I always get somewhat emotional when hearing that Irish backpipe, because it reminds me of our ancient past history. I just can see it in front of me, thinking about where we all came from.

This is from the concert at Wembley, 2015

See the Tampere version they did in their home country. It is just intense. It is the finest visual and audio ever recorded.

Hey Lanae, this is the Wembley concert 2015. I have already recommended you listen to "Poet and the pendulum" from this concert. As you get deeper into the rabbit warren, you will realise the significance of this song, and the reason that this concert was the last time they will ever play it live again. It has a major impact on Tuomas and Tarja, that's all I will say until you hear it. Thanks for another great review.

Now you've met Kai (drummer / human metronome) and Troy (pipes / wierd guitars / vocals / pretty much anything that makes a noise)

Simply one of the most epic songs ever written, by any band (in my humble opinion). Pure brilliance in terms of the lyrics, the music, and the visuals. I would love to have been at this show. Great reaction. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Nightwish Army (Sydney, Australia Division) 🇦🇺🤘

One of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion. That closing orchestral movement with the band taking their bows is one of my favorite pieces of music ever written. It’s just so triumphant and uplifting. Brilliant writing. If you want to see one of their official music videos, I would recommend “Noise”, “Elan”, or “Amaranth”. All are great songs with really well put together films to go along with them. The guy they have who directs most of their music videos (can’t recall his name) is a genius in his own right, and add in Tuomas’ lyrical and musical genius and you have something very special.

That was something else, wasn't it! We were here & crying with you! Thanks for another great reaction!

It is so sweet see you, a non fan of Nightwish, or a person who recently knows them, sharing tears with all of us ... THAT is what Nightwish is. PURE ART that makes you feel things in your very soul. Really nice reaction. Greetings from Argentina 🤘🏻🖤

That's 2/3 for the "big three", which are the three songs that most fans consider the greatest of Tuomas' compositions. The third one is The Poet And the Pendulum, but before going into it, you might want to do some research on the history of the band, especially the firing of their original vocalist, Tarja, and the drama that ensued. A lot of those feelings are being put into that song.

I was there at this show. Greatest Show on Earth was, and is, my favourite Nightwish song. It had released that year, and I remember reading in the summer that Tuomas had said the band would likely never perform this live due to its length. When those opening piano notes were played, I almost felt my soul leave my body.

Tuomas’s masterpiece!🤘🎸

seen it a thousand times, still crying at the end......

The ending with Richard Dawkins is the strongest moment of this recording of the concert.

Nice reaction. Greetings from Mexico City 🇲🇽

I truly enjoyed your heartfelt reaction to the greatest composition of my lifetime. The speaker at the end was Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary scientist who wrote the book this song was based upon, titled "The Greatest Show On Earth", meaning life. The thing that always goes through my mind when they bow to the audience is the line from "The Return of the King" ... "my friends, you bow to no one!" This collection of virtuoso geniuses are alone at the top of the music hierarchy, and there is nobody anywhere close. Tuomas writes to your soul and your brain, and if you aren't "puddle-eyed" at his creations, you simply do not understand them. Nicely done, Lanae. We love your heart.

Hey There Lanae's, That concert was Wembley Arena in 2015, and my wife and I were there, 8 rows from the fronts, that show show will live with us 2 forever, embedder in hearts and minds Truly it will. So you said you wanted a music video of Nightwish So go and check this from the Nightwish Y/T site (Nightwish (- Endless Forms Most Beautiful) (LYRIC VIDEO) this is one of the best music lyric videos Nightwish Have ever done, So Tuomas came up with idea of writing songs about the creation of the world, evolution, ect, from reading the books by Sir Richard Dawkins an evolutionary professor, who you sore at the end of this video speaking to the Wembley Crowed. So the first Album that was released on this theme in 2013, was called (Endles Forms Most Beautiful) That was followed by the Album (Human Nature) all about how Humans Abuse, and neglect our planet, then we had Covid Lockdown for almost 3 years, of which no one could go on tour, so during this time off, Tuomas rote the 3rd And and last Album in the Trilogy of life which is is called (YesterWyned), which is due out out September this year, And yes the old Nightwish Drummer Jukka, Who was a great Drummer, retired from band, due to major health problems, due to insomnia problems, But now he is part of the Nightwish back room Guy's, Now the New to You Drummer Kia Hato, is one of Jukker's best friends, and he brought him into Nightywish band to show them what he could do, and he is a phenomenal Drummer, and he fitted right into Nightwish, Also Kia plays with another band from Finland called (Winter Sun) and they have some Amazing videos on Y/T go check them out (we are the suns of winter and stars ) a 14 minute Master Class in Heavy Metal.

Wembley arena 2015, great concert, they've played some great concerts here in the UK, at some of our best indoor arena's

Yes they are bagpipes, but not the Scottish variety. They are an ancient Gaelic version called Uillean Pipes (I may have misspelled). Rather than blowing into them, the Irish pipes have the bag inflated by a bellows pumped under the elbow. You can see Troy doing this with his elbow on the side closest to the drummer. The bag is on his other side.

Great reaction Lanae as always , this song is an absolute masterpiece and gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it . I have been fortunate enough to see them perform it live in the UK and was completely blown away , awesome and by the way I always get tears at the first "We were here " 😊
