- I will go all in and just say that in my opinion this is the best Nightwish song. I could be wrong but this one will be super hard to beat.
Music was beautiful, emotions were all over the place and im a mess now, but im glad i got to do it. It sort of resets you and put things in perspective.
Good job Nightwish and i am looking forward to hear next songs. - Розваги
No autotune with Nightwish, just pure talent.
For sure
'I think I'll listen to it again and think about my life' - no greater tribute could any band ask for.
The greatest show on earth is life itself, evolution, the universe, everything 😁
Or even simpler: 42 ;)
I have listened to this song (both this version AND Tampere--slightly different; but equally as good) dozens of times and it still gets me in the end every time. It is one thing when you get emotional by surprise; but when you know it is coming and it still gets you...masterpiece!
Richy, you're not a nobody. You won the lottery of birth.....as we all did who watched your reaction. Make every day count my friend. Take care from England.
Thank you! I should put that lottery thing you wrote on wall or something. It is good to walk by something like that and be reminded more often.
@@richythenobody This piece of music has changed the whole way that I look at life. Be kind to yourself.
@@kevingunning7569Same here!
I have the same emotions as you when I hear and see this masterpiece. It shows us the wonder of creation. But also good and evil. People could do so much good for the world and each other. Instead, there is a lot of ugliness in this world. Nightwish is certainly a bright spot on this planet.😊😊🙏🙏🤘🤘
🫡🙌
You asked during the intro: "What are those bangs?" - only the asteroids that collided and coagulated in the orbit of the Sun, forming our planet. It's a beautiful story, following the hypotheses of science, a history of the Earth from its formation to the present.
You are so right😊😊🙏🙏🤘🤘
I concur 😁🤘
Eloquent, Gabriel!
Still... It's just a scientific theory, some might say.
(¿¿¿???)
@@jaskau2462 Science creates viable theories based on evidence gathered and interpreted by specialists (physicists, chemists, biologists, geologists, etc.) and makes predictions based on this evidence. "Just a scientific theory" is not a small thing. Honest science does not have the arrogance to consider itself immutable, like most organized religions, but accepts that one or another scientific theory is wrong, if new evidence is found in this sense. The "meaning" revealed at the end is of a spiritual nature, affirming that humanity has not yet revealed its potential contained in the genome. This idea, which starts from scientific arguments, does not contradict the religions of the world, because it goes in the same direction, although it is not based on the revelations that are the basis of religious doctrines or on their interpretation.
What is also amazing is that they had already performed Ghost Love Score, over ten minutes, and The Poet and the Pendulum, nearly fourteen minutes which were superb. Evolution is the greatest show on earth.
Creation? It's evolution.
@@pajuification corrected. LOL.
God's creation 😊
Wow, I really can feel you! This song gets me every single time! Can’t help crying in the end, though I must have seen this a hundred times. So beautiful! So important and powerful message! Tuomas is truly a genius!
I agree, ive listened to it many times now and it gets me every time. It is important to have music like this and bo wonder why they are so popular. This kind of stuff should be mainstream music on radio! :)
We are the nightwish army your honest tears are welcome🤟🤟🤟 great reaction bro 🤟
This song is a true masterpiece! 🤘🎸
Loved your reaction. I don't know how many times I've heared this song - I ALWAYS cry at the end.. And Dr Dawking's words at the end ... Only Nightwish can move me in this way.. Real artists.
The words at the end are those of Charles Darwin: they're the closing lines of _On the Origin of Species._
There is no better tribute to a song than that you feel it in your soul and your heart.
Also watch, maybe just for yourself, the Tampere 2015 version with fireworks initiated from Tuomas’ keyboard. I like both shows, but Floor’s emotion in Tampere a bit more ( maybe because her parents were in the audience)
And lord Byron wrote already: “I love not Wembley the less, but Tampere more”
i’ll do that, thank you :)
Yes, the arrangement there was better. Troy's low whistle is more beatiful than the guitar in the beginning. And of course all that fireworks. :-)
You are a perceptive listener! Don't need to read what a song is about. Tuomas, the whole band, the music is telling the story very clear. Just trust your ears and your gut feeling. Thank you for your reaction. I cry every time I hear this song, and the beautiful message at the end. You're unique, you're really really special. Love from Westland, The Netherlands ❤
Hey bro!! Don't worry for the tears. I saw this hundreds of times and every time I cry. Good reaction. Greettings from Argentina
The greatest show on earth is LIFE. Btw, THANK YOU for such a GENUINE and emotional reaction!!! It's important to show that men can express emotion!!! If you DIDN'T show emotion, what would the quality of the reaction really be??? Just watching a video for 20 minutes and say "it was epic" and that's it??? OH, and for the future time when you do "The Poet and the Pendulum" live at Wembley, you might wanna do the background info on what it's about, as you know Tuomas gets deep and this one is VERY personal to HIM. NW Army reporting from Florida, U.S.A.
it is weird how in 2023 it feels embarrasing to show emotion as a white straight man. It feels like we shouldnt have any. Its just weird. All this world is weird. So many people think we do not feel or we are evil just because we are born who we are born. I hate politics and i dont want to get into what state of world is in right now. BUT. So many people need to hear this song so maybe it can put things in perspective. If people would just stop and listen. And i mean really listen… I have heared this song about 30 times by now. It should be played in schools as education material! And if 10% feels what i felt, its a win!
@@richythenobodyYes, people should get the chance to enjoy reality and how much a life is worth and how lucky they are to even be born instead of demanding special rules of the universe just for them.
In extreme religious countries like Turket and USA, teachers avoid to teach about evolution since they may loose their job when religious parents sue the school for not teaching that their God made humans from nothing by some magic power who never do anything wrong and know what will happen in the future and then had to kill all humans, plants and animals in a flood, just saving a few since he had forgot how to make new life.
We are going to make ourself go extinct but the planet will recover and maybe a new animal will take the humans place in science if there is long time enough between large meteors that whipe out all life.
@@richythenobody I know it's been almost a week, but I've had your comment in my mind and have wanted to reply to it. First, I'm so sorry that people, or society, has made you feel that way. I'm not straight but ALL my friends are. I also hate this "woke" culture (politics) that surrounds us. I can honestly tell you that you are NOT "evil" anymore than I am. Most of my close friends are straight white males and I love them for who they are AND what they are, and vice versa. NEVER feel emberrased to show emotion because showing emotion is HUMAN regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else. I've actually experienced the opposite in my life where I've been bullied because of being "me" and how *I* was born (or developed).
And yeah, this song is a reminder that we are not a bunch of races, but we belong to the ONE human race, all trying to live and survive. Keep up the wonderful reactions. I just saw Poet and the Pendulum. Have a nice weekend! - No One (Derick)
People should care more for one and other and if we stopped shove our views in other people throats i believe there would be less hate in this world.
But as we know that is not likely to happen. Especially on social media. It reminds me of video of 2 groups of doggs on each side of the fence. When fence is closed (social media) they were barking like crazy, the gate opened and they were friendly to each other (regular life).
Thanks for your reply, it sucks being bullied for who you are, or if you are different. And different can really be anything. Friend of mine got bullied because he was walking different than others. Its great when people can turn this negativity into fuel and be more productive and achieve insane goals, where bullies usualy stay where they were 15 years ago.
The greatest show on Earth is Evolution! (A day to day new opening to the greatest show on earth). Tuomas was interested in the universe very early (he wrote “Stargazers” when he was 18 years old), but Troy brought him to the writings of Richard Dawkins. The songtitle is also the title of a book by Dawkins. The last 3 NW albums (including the one to come next year) are dealing with all kinds of aspects of evolution and our role in it😮
no "auto-tune" on the microphon or other cheats needed... and i think there is no software that can handle the power of a goddess
This is our swansong as a species....and most importantly we were here
Kai Hahto is a human machine on drums, he is a human metronome. They are incredibly live. I've seen this and the one from Tampere at least 50 to 100 times by myself, and I love watching all the reactions that pop up and see all be amazed and emotional. As others already explained it's about LIFE and our evolution. All from the BIG BANG 4.6 million years ago and until we end our planet and enter the Ratkind. I love the way You show emotions - I cry every time when we enter the last part.
it is so werid, i feel like it is embarrasing to show emotions like that. i was trying so hard to surpress those feelings but it didnt work.
there are many drummera that can do it tecnique wise, but not many can make it feel like it is «part of a bigger plan»
@@richythenobody Du behöver absolut inte skämmas alls. Vi är MÅNGA som gråtit och känt oss påverkade av den sången.
Om du tänker ge dig på "Poet And The Pendulum" så vill jag ge dig rådet att läsa på historien om vad som föranledde Tuomas att skriva den. Du får en MYCKET bättre upplevelse av den då.
@@MikaelSkold Seems that crying is ok to us men as well. I've always thought that swedish men are able to show their deepest feelings, but us finns are who cannot. Nightwish brings tears to my eyes everytime too, even I've seen this show for countless times. :-)
You cannot see me, but know: I'm crying with you!
No sir, it is not autotuned...I saw them 5 times. They sound like this. For real!!!! They are an extremely talented hardworking and cohesive group, like I never saw before.
They are singing a science textbook on the history of the planet. And it is good.
That's okay dude! There are some of us that show our emotions. No Worries.
🤩👌💥💯🎶
*OPUS PERFECTUM*
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Hat of to Tuomas, hat of to the whole of Nightwish...and hat of to you, Sir, for getting it... i applaud you, and thank you... liked, subscribed, and rang the bell! Superb.❤
I have seen this now for several times and every time I cry. It moves me deeply and yes, it makes you think over your own life. Great reaction from a beautiful sensitive human.
We were here squeezes my chest every time. Thanks for crying with me.
they played so much, 6-8 hours almost every day, you get very good when you play that much with a band. i played about 8 hours of day alone almost 4 years one time, i was pretty good.
the big bang.. Mother Earth..the evolution of the galaxy, earth, animals and mankind..ever of the music..the rise and even destruction of human nature...we are a blessing and a disaster to our own planet.
Had the same emotions hearing this song for the first time...😉
Thank you, I admire your strong reaction to the message of the song. If a president of humanity is ever elected, you have my vote!❤
Richy 2024 lol 🤣
It's a masterpiece,I cried every time when I hear them
Love the genuineness of your reactions. Thanks man.
Buddy. Die-hard, old-school Nightwish fan here. I've heard/watched the studio version, this one, and the Tampere video like a thousand times, and I ALWAYS tear up at the "...grain of sand..." and the "We were here" parts. No need to be ashamed. They manage to produce that effect on people, being such fantastic musicians and understanding that performing does not involve only perfection, but also connection with the wording and the audience. And I see Gabriel has already made contact, so you have all the information you need now. Fantastic reaction. Keep it up!
Don't be ashamed, we all cried many times hearing this masterpiece. It's beautiful written, yet confronting. Awesome they worked with dr. Richard Dawkins on this album. Humanity excists for such a short time in earth's history. We are like a dot on a huge timeline. And we will vanish and other forms will evolve. Earth does not tolerate much from us anymore. Please also watch the Tampere version. Thank you!
I've seen reaction videos of this song for tens of times, and still, I cried with you. 😭
oh wow, you dove in one of their masterpieces soon. (they have several long masterpieces) This song is made about Dawkins book and he is very involved wit this album. In Wembley he is on stage with them as you will see. The live version in Tampere (with fireworks immitating the big bang) and the longer intro with bagpipes and flute....please watch that version too on your own.
The intro is the silence ...the nothing before the big bang. Than there is chaos on earth, a toxic enviroment, the carbon feast. Than there is life! Animals, preditors....HUMANS, the hunters. Beautiful!!!
Greates show ever. What excpted. Nightwish!!!!
oh, they have Harpes in an opening track too ;) ... you will come to this soon enough
I'm never ready for this song
Must do the version in Tampere 2015! Continue your journey.
To find a person who can feel things like that and not be afraid to show it would make this show even more greater for me. Well I guess you just did.
No auto tune,I was see them alive they really like that good,they perfect
Good job Richy. For not knowing what you were watching, you did very good! That was impressive. Subscribed.
The storyline is no less than the creation of the Earth and the evolution of life on it, leading to the whole development of mankind and his understanding of his place in it all. Hence: "The Greatest Show On Earth".
Love your reaction videos, have the same emotions
23.33 ...love yo tears of the God sparkle ❤
Thank you , great show great reaction . Greetings from nwAse Sweden ... snusa på ;-)
Great reaction, glad to see so much emotion as I have myself felt over time...
What a wonderful sincere reaction, why didn't i see you before?
the girl in the front row is a LEGEND
the girl at the front is a LEGEND
Great reaction 🤘🤘🤘 I do get very emotional too 😢 because these guys are AWSOME 😊
The Greatest Show on Earth is a book by Richard Dawkins, published about 15 years ago, about the evolution of life on Earth.
Oh yes there is a storyline and whilst I do not subscribe to the "Theory of Evolution" I wholeheartedly subscribe to the musical genius of this phenomenal band. Thank you. 🙏😊👍❤️
Great reaction Richy! felt same feelings when i heard this first time!

Great reaction man. Let it all out..its Nightwish healing big time. Music at its best. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
It was a riff of Enter Sandman, but nobody gets the Fugue of Bach Tocatta and fugeu a few measures before. That is what Tuomas makes him so great.
That's Troy on the guitar using an E-Bow.
I like Your idea about taking the intro and loop it for meditation.
Hi...the song is about the evolution of life on earth....and if you wonder about the perfection of the pitch and the performances ...I wonder about them too,but saw them several times live in the last years ,yes they play some false notes sometimes when there is a solo,but for me this performance sounds just like on my concerts in Bamberg and Stuttgart in 2022...they are near to perfection live in my opinion....thanks for reacting
And that’s how you react to this masterpiece. Well done!
Dude I’m right there with you, we were here!
and the outro musik is also thuomasses creation recorded whit a symphonyorkester from London
Kinda puts things imto sharp perspective, right? Heavy stuff!
LOVE your reaction. its honest, real. keep going.
At the end of the song I cry with you. Life is so amazing, and humans are so destructive. We make such a mess of all the beauty, it hurts.
Still, I am glad I am here....
Detta tog hårt. Beautiful!
it´s an E-Bow for E-Guitars that´s sound´s like an Violine
The bangs were fireworks I think, this looks like a diff view of the concert in Finland where they went all out.
As Floor once says : "Music IS Emotion" so feel it (if it is headbanging +tapping or just crying all feelings with music is good)🖖
Nice you know The story about The Song
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
No Autotune
FLOOR AND NIGTHWISH suenan mejor en directo ......que nadie
Increíble pero cierto 😊😊❤❤
This song is about the evolution of all lvings at the earth and those who began to destroy it!!
Auto tuning Floor and Marco would be an affront to their talent snd professionalism. I am a drummer and am in awe of each of them.
You feel it! No autotune here.. This one and (the last part of) The Poet And The Pendulum @ Wembley.. Together with Ghost Love Score @ Wacken are the Nightwish Trias Perfecta.
P.S. Listen to The Greatest Show On Earth @ Tampere

Tuomas Holopainen -A Lifetime of Adventrure. and Tuomas wife Johanna Kurkela. and Nightwish Bless the child official video Tarja Turunen.
there is a guy who checked on autotune. Result: no autotune
🎉
Love this one ; like the Tampere version better. :) Give that one a listen/view when you have a chance. (Floor's parents, & sister Irene, were in the audience, so maybe a little extra inspiration? ;) )
The bangs at the beginning are supposed to be the Late Heavy Bombardment Period
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Heavy_Bombardment
hypothesized event thought to have occurred approximately 4.1 to 3.8 billion years (Ga) ago,[1] at a time corresponding to the Neohadean and Eoarchean eras on Earth. According to the hypothesis, during this interval, a disproportionately large number of asteroids and comets collided with the early terrestrial planets in the inner Solar System, including Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.[2] These came from both post-accretion and planetary instability-driven populations of impactors.[3]
How meany times we stopped the video
Troy is using a Ebouw this makes the srtings vibrate like a violin
Toumas is a genius
100% :)
🤗🍒🤘🏻
"It's a long intro..." The song is 20 minutes, so it is to be expected. Be kind and have a little patience.
So many people are addicted to 3-4 minute songs these days.
I didnt mean long intro is a bad thing. just an observation. im glad it was as long as it was. i have listened to this more than 3 dozen times by now. i think it is my favorite by nightwish. and yes… on my list it is better than ghost love score. :)
I saw them live .... there was not much to korrekt ... ok this is an edit video, there are surely some correction, but they a creasy good live, too :)
i need them to come to Norway! I saw there were few shows cancelled last few years, next time they come to Oslo, im getting a ticket! :)
Sound engineers use Floor to calibrate their autotune devices.
Hey Ritcheyyyyy... WTF with that Webley version?!? If you haven't seen the Tampere version you haven't felt a shit. Yet.
Im scared now. Is that one even better?
I think next time you should take a good cup of coffee extra strong 😅
if you have to heir this ageing take the Tampera warison it after mi humble meaning batter and thomas the cea bord gay even put some failsch tones in one of hies solos to indicate the genome fourths fueling evolution
Missed Bach just before Metallica. 🤘👎🤣
A vida e a capacidade de evoluir são o maior shor da terra
