    Hello. I am a Japanese writer. However, I cannot live by the work of a writer alone. That's why I've been working part-time as a cleaner for many years. I've cleaned a lot of different toilets so far. Sometimes I have to clean the dirty toilets quickly by myself in a limited amount of time. In the future, your "toilet brushes" will support my heart in such a situation. Thank you.👍

    I was at this concert! At the beginning, we didn't know he was even in the room. It was a surprise when he started playing the organ upstairs. He played on it for a few minutes, then made the last note sustain, ran downstairs to where he is in the video and carried on playing from the same note. Seeing this guy live is like being on a date. I only realise how great his performance and little touches are when I see these videos, though. SEE HIM LIVE.

      No. No he won’t. Nils music is great, but let’s not get carried away. Don’t get me wrong, I guarantee you I’m enjoying this at least as much as you are. I’ve been a fan of Nils for a while now and I’m on about playback #11 in a row on this video, but I’m afraid Mr. Frahm’s music only rises to the level of excellent current film score music. Very much in the vein of say Hans Zimmer, who I love also. I think HZ has a much greater time resistant body of work than NF, but in 100 years next no one will know who Hans Zimmer is, much less Nils.
      The works and accomplishments of time tested masters such as Bach, Beethoven and Mozart are truly beyond belief and will live on for more hundreds of years.

    I saw Nils in concert, just this last week. Between Says and this, it has to be one of the most powerful encores i ever experienced. The only word I can used to describe what I experienced is that it was transcendental. Someone here described him as shamanistic, and I think that is a great description. But beyond this, he's a real humble guy. All that talent, and he's just happy and thankful we came to hear him play. What a legend.

    Who else is still watching this in 2019? I always play this song whilst I'm on a run since the BPM matches my pace, whenever I want to give in and stop running I think of how Nils' arms must be feeling as he's coming into the final crescendo, and don't let myself quit. This song has therefore literally been the reason I've put on a fair bit of muscle mass over the last year!!

Wish I did a better job preserving it, but at least for a few years i was carrying a part of this genius all around with me. Thanks Nils

And all these old Queen lovers like me will have noticed the good old Brighton Rock theme of Brian May in a free interpretation from 7:23 on. Brian May was, I think, one of the first who used these echo technics. Of course absolutely suitable for a concert in London.
