I listened to this one the way home from fishing this evening. The whole concert! I drive 2 hours each way to fish where I usually do. Listened to Buenos Aires on the way there and Tampere on the way home. Yeah, I know. I'm probably a little bit addicted to Nightwish.
I enjoy your channel very much! You're not afraid, reacting to music you've never heard. Your comments are so real and share the emotions you feel. Even when you say, "I don't know what to say," I get it. I look forward to more new reactions as I work my way through those already posted. Peace and love, my friend.
Love this performance so much. Thank you for reacting to this epic Nightwish song. I had much the same response the first time I saw it. Really enjoyed your reaction.
7:44 your reaction is everything lol I love that part, she embraces the Mother of All/Goddess of Universe, phrases like "we are one, we are an universe" and "we were here" always give me goosebumps and make me very emotional
Also the Bible calls Eve the mother of all living, and gives us the task to care for the garden. Most of the books in Bible handle though how we became interested in the hundreds of shiny rocks, and self-destructive weaponry - what are we doing against life, and still will do. And How God will fix it, wanting us along. Will you join us in the heavenlies? he asks. To the next level of evolution, that takes place after death. We'll change relatively as much, as we changed coming to this wrold from our mother. Our life in the womb was just so much smaller yet, like our life now is, compared to the heavenlies. The walking - movement is different after the change, each time. What we can see or hear is different, expansively. How much our mind operates is different, percentge of the brain capacity we use is still quite low. To enter the new level of life we have to go through a narrow door, like through a tunnel. The connection we had to our life giver, will die for us to enter the new level, new form of life. Yeah. It's not necessary we return to the previous stage in evolution. Life, evolution just doesn't seem to operate that way. But we can leave behind, what we don't need. Like a naval cord we had connecting us with our mother in the womb, or our physical body when we move to Heaven. It will be there somehow remade. But trying to explain it now, is like the fetus trying to think how it's gonna be like, after it has been born to this world we now live in.
I always cry in that part no matter how much I listen to it!

Tuomas is a national treasure what comes to composing music in Finland. If you haven't reacted to Tuomas' solo stuff, react to "Tuomas Holopainen - A Lifetime of Adventure".
Awesome reaction! There is a little bit of a narrative at the end still. At their show in Wembly Arena, they had Richard Dawkins come out on stage to deliver it.
Yes, you missed the boat a bit, but I still subscribed. I request more Nigtwish, and please don't cut away too soon next time. There is a lot of this very tight and together band on display if you look. I got more from your facial expressions that your dialogue, but both were worth the time.
I literally just got done watching your reaction to Ogni Pietra and when you said you were doing The Greatest Show on Earth I ran like hell to it!! So stoked, thank you!!!🙌❤
I’m a huge fan of Darwin, Sagan, Dawkins and of course Nightwish and Floor. This performance is always an emotional rollercoaster for me. It’s simply the greatest show on Earth.
Unfortunately you stopped too soon, it’s not the end if the song. The instrumental part which comes after when the band members are on stage thanking the audience is the last part of the song. There are also a couple of important Richard Dawkins citations in that part. You should watch it all the way to the end, really. And I mean the absolute end of it. I also got the impression that you didn’t get the subject nor the message in the song. Which is a pity, because when you know what story the song is telling then it makes it even more impressive.
Its just Dawkins talking and some pre-recorded minor instrumentals which you almost could call ambience is playing backround. Theres really nothing to react.
It's always very nice to see you getting deep into the songs :-) Next Nightwish-Stop could be "The Poet and the Pendulum". Doing so, I would strongly recommend to read the story behind that song before listening to it.
Indeed, also I can recommend you doing that with lyrics, because the song is divided into chapters and the lyric version will clearly state when you go from one chapter to another, making it a natural place for you to pause and talk. And Poet & the Pendulum , have a lot of copyright issues (someone used samples for a song), the pauses will make sure you don't get any problems with that Song.
Yep, I second that as well. In this song Tuomas (the guy at the keyboards) is processing one if the hardest times in his life. That's why we ask you to read the story behind the song before listening to it.
Fireworks, the masters touch. Thanks Tuomas. All of Nightwish's works are my favorite. But, it I was forced to choose one, it would be this one, The Greatest Show on Earth.
Music theater at it's best. Recently saw Ghost, same thing. The presentation is soooo well done. The audio during this concert is the best I've ever heard
Great Reaction! Thank you for this! This song is a very good example how Nightwish as a whole union is able to take the listener through an emotional journey. There is so a bunch of emotions you experience in just one song. I really hope you will check out The Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley. Nightwish plays with your emotions like a ping pong ball. In a positive way for sure :-)
The first part is representative of the forming of the universe and our solar system. This song is all about the evolution of the universe, the earth, and humankind. That is truly what you call an epic song! Nice job my friend on a long song.
This insane Mammoth is one of the best rockopera petformances of all time. Speechless is the right word there. You cut the ending but obviously you were too confused. Thank you and be well.
The song didnt finish where you stopped it. There is some more Dawkins it says; "We are going to die and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?" "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers Having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one And that whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity From so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been And are being, evolved!"
Yes..... Full symphonic orchestra and choir performing metal? A duet with amazing sopranos blasting away any pop Diva? Epica-sancta terra ft floor (retrospect)
@@ArtimusClyde We do not have any "all time great" bands on the order of the Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, Floyd, etc. Not even close. Nightwish here at their apex qualifies. Who else from my generation (Gen X) can touch what Nightwish is displaying here? Not a one.
So .. when you popped up on screen .. I thought .. "Oh.Hey .. where did you find a hairdresser in a pandemic?" .. in a bit .. with a little more beer it was .. "Oh .. a .. hoodie ..."
LOVE your reactions Nat!! I've subscribed! I'm curious: hve you listened/looked at the whole video yet? With the spoken word at the end? I'd love to know what you thought of it, since it is a part of this masterpiece .
The Poet and the Pendulum here are some scources. First of all the Open Letter to Tarja.Tarja's open letter (why tarja was kicked from nightwish) ua-cam.com/video/rbkpMgqq8pU/v-deo.html Interview Nightwish - Tuomas Holopainen (part 1) at around 1:50min Tuomas explained a bit to that: ua-cam.com/video/pPDNEIt4d7U/v-deo.html Nightwish interview - Tuomas Holopainen (part 1) at 10:00min ua-cam.com/video/v65-ErfUyVM/v-deo.html Here he stated: Cathartic is a good way of putting it. The ultimate example being is The Poet and the Pendulum a song where i literally kill myself in the song so that i wouldnt have to do it in real life. At the Ende where all 3 (+1 the drummer he can not leave his place, here it is Kai but originally it was Jukka) stand together is for showing Tuomas that they are all with him, they all have signed that letter.
Easily my favourtie song of all time. Nothing even gets close.... well, some of Wintersun's songs do and of course other Nightwish songs. But this one takes all the cakes.
nice reactions! :) I jsut subscribed. I'd love to see you react to Nightwish - "Your's is an empty hope" and hear your thoughts on that. PLEASE if you react to this song though, use the Wembly version. A lot of people will probably suggest the other live recording of that but since you're a singer, in my opinion, the Wembly version is the much better choice since you can hear the vocals much more clearly.
Lol as said you were blown away ... by this one .... Symphonic Metal can do this with you .. Well let's get you deeper into that ... try Epica ft Floor Jansen ( otherwise you will be lost ) Sancta Terra Life at retrospective ..
Can I request a react? I would like to see you reacting to Shaman - Fairy Tale or Shaman - Over Your Head, both live version... (RIP André, the best brazilian metal singer)
Sorry your reaction to the poet and the pendulum was blocked, i was looking forward to your opinion on it, i know other reactors have done it through facebook,or other.
I see 'Nightwish - Greatest Show on Earth'. I see video play time 19 minutes. I know: official video playtime almost 22 minutes. I leave. Sorry Nat, til next time.
The poor guy could hardly find words. It's okay, laddie. We understand, and some things shouldn't be given too many words anyway. Women, for instance. 🥴
This song might not have been written, if she had been in the band. Who knows. And she also had repeatedly said she was leaving the band before the band decided to get rid of her, so she would not have stayed this long anyway.
"It's like the best album you've ever heard...all in one song."
Now THAT'S a line. :)

You say addicted to Nightwish like it's a bad thing.
Only a bit . No big deal , i have the same problem.
There are worse things to be addicted to! I'm in the same boat (pun inteneded)! :)

"What instrument do you play?"
"Fireworks"
this song can take you up down and all over the place emotionally, and their voices together are a perfect sound
Don't know what is the most epic... The masterpiece that Tuomas composed or the priceless speechless faces of yours :-D
Nice !!
Behold. The greatest duet we will hear in our lifetime.

I think you will love "The Poet and the Pendulum" live at Wembley.
That should be your next Nightwish reaction.
Cheers from Portugal.
This was amazing day to be with over 22k friends :]
as Jimi Hendrix once said … 'you have just been experienced' …. take care … water the fields .. surrender to the earth … arrive alive …

It's tenor reacts. Not philosophy PhD reacts. but I get your point. I also want everyone to be exactly as keen about my likings as me.
Honestly I alway skip the last part on my playlist, heard it hundreds of times anyway. It's just Richard Dawkins talking.
