![Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth [Live at Tampere 2015] ( REACTION | LYRICAL BREAKDOWN )](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rctBerC7rH8/mqdefault.jpg)
As a 58 year old bloke who has seen this song a hundred times, I freely admit that I'm crying at the end every single time.
Same here.
Welcome to the party Hawk eye :)
"We were here" Lyric gets me every time LOL I can't hear it without tearing up
As a 61 year old bloke, Why? God is in control. He initiated, powered, designed and guided all of creation through the power of his word. He remains in control and cannot be deterred no matter what humankind tries to do to change or destroy what God has brought into being. Even denying God's existence is nothing but foolishness. His majesty is evident throughout the universe from the vast and numerous galaxies to the unbelievably detailed and intricate cells in a human's body.
I'm 53 and same here !!!!
Epic, Epic, EPIC 🔥🤯🤘in July 2015 I was visiting friends in Finland and they said they were taking me to a metal concert. Little did I know. My first time hearing and seeing the almighty Nightwish. By the end of this concert I was an emotional wreck and was actually crying while trying to sing We Were Here. The roar from the crowd at the end was deafening, the whole thing was, “The Greatest Show on Earth” that I have ever seen. Thanks for your reaction it was awesome ❤️🇬🇧 Now bring on Wembley in two months time 🤗
Lucky you! I'm going to see them for the first time next month. Can't wait!
How very cool - I cannot imagine being able to walk out of there after that show. I would have been a puddle.
@@Quessir have a great time, from what I’ve heard the show is a perfect mix of the old and the new 🤘🔥
WOW I wish I had such friends
You have great friends! Cherish them!
First time ever hearing Nightwish. Greatest Show On Earth? NO FUCKING DOUBT HOLY SHIT
First time? You've got some catching up to do. They are just this good! Greetings from the Netherlands
@@martine3293 apparently I do lol....ummm where do I go from here though hahaha
@@lonewolfpoetics Start with the Wacken 2013 show, that should get you started nicely.. You can find the entire concert as one continous clip, or the songs individual, either works.. Then continue on to Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015 ( where this is from ) or Buenos Aires 2019..
@@ChristianSander1969 lol after hearing this which is so operatic, and not knowing anything about Nightwish, it seems odd they would play Wacken lol. (Probably because I automatically think of Jinjer's Perennial performance there) but I will definitely give it a go, thanks.
@@lonewolfpoetics The tip ChristianSander1969 gave you is pretty good. You have to know that Floor Jansen (the singer in the song you've just watched) is their 3rd singer. With his permission, I'll just copy/paste the comment that Gabriel Bardac always gives people who react to Nightwish for the first time, so you'll know a bit more about their history. There are also song suggestions in his message, so you can get to know them better. I hope it helps. Take care 🤘🏻
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I [Gabriel Bardac] am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live."
Hoping you'll continue this journey, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

Then she gave us the last one so far, "Agape" (Kadawatha cover) - 207K views after 6 weeks!..
I'm still trying to imagine the stamina needed to finish an almost two hour show with an epic performance like this. Nothing short of super human. Simply incredible.
Especially for Kai Hatto, the drummer. He must run a few miles while in a sustained crunch nearly the entire concert.
@@joeparker9516 So very true. All of their songs are challenging for a drummer, but his performance on this song is superhuman.
I've been to their show in Amsterdam, where they finished the concert with Ghost Love Score and the Greatest Show On earth back to back..... that was unfathomably good!!!
Floor: Enter LUCA. Enter life
Marko: Enter Ionia
Floor and Marko: Enter ratkind
Emppu: Enter Sandman.
Hahahahahaha
Haha. very clever.👍
Hey, that's my comment ;)
@@GWDH19 Hehehehe I borrowed (stole) it.
@@GWDH19 It's not stolen, just plagiarised a bit.😏
Floor: Enter LUCA. Enter life, Enter the god of gaps, Enter history
This Performance is simple one of the best i see in my entire live 😍
Few fun facts :
- Fireworks crew used in ears. They tested that everything worked the night before
- Nightwish had 6 trucks full of gear for that night (You can see trailers behind fireworks launch station)
- Nightwish had a crew of 50 for that night
- There were about 50 construction workers doing everything from covering the Track & Field to stalls and fences (I was one)
- Construction started on Monday before concert. Deconstruct was over on next Tuesday
- Actual stage is owned by city of Tampere and is used in big concerts and festivals
Where is Tampere?
@@lonewolfpoetics Finland
@@Frankamaria wow my guess was waaaaay off lol thanks
You helped create something beautiful on that night. Thank you. 🙏👏
Congratulations for pulling off one of the best live shows I've ever seen. The band couldn't have done it without you and your crew. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nightwish is the definition of perfection!
You can imagine I was flying on my way back when walking back from THAT concert. My first NW concert. Could hardly sleep and can for my life not understand people that doesn't connect to NW.
You guys are awesome! Greetings from 🇫🇮
Yes More Nightwish 🙌🤘
Two of my favorite reactors, one of my favorite Nightwish songs, seen 15 minutes after I purchased tickets to see them live for the first time (for my 40th birthday) and my name at the bottom of the screen. I would be lying if I said I didn't have tears in my eyes.
Thank you for doing this!
I saw the notification and told my wife “come into the game room and let’s watch Harry and Sharlene’s heads explode” 😂
I loved watching people whose lives revolve around music experience this song!
If you read the credits they even list the bus driver.
This is real music, composed and played/performed by REAL musicians!
There are people alive who have never heard the greatest show on earth and it is those people I feel sorry for.
We now feel exactly the same!!!
Those people who are only stuck to crappy Evanescence and Justin Beiber songs.
@@taurusguy9305 You don't elevate artists you like by denigrating those you don't.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I am a taurus also, and consider nightwish the best band since Pink Floyd, Queen, led,
@@richardmead5969 Um, okay. I'm a Taurus born in the year of the ram with type O+ blood. There will be a quiz later.
I don't make lists, but Pink Floyd is my favorite group, Rush is second, and then there's a big traffic jam of bands from all over the world that I love. Nightwish is one of those groups.
One of the greatest songs ever written and performed live. T.H. Is truly the Metal Mozart.
This name is perfect for Tuomas Holopainen, Metal Mozart! He is a music genius!
He really is. By now I wonder who started with that nickname. Was it Chase?
For me, t h a t i s the greatest song, ever written!!!
@@fnglert I think it had already been given to him before Chase started doing these.
I only have 30 years left to live, so I have decided to only watch Nightwish reactions from now on.
And that is your choice. Enjoy.
I meditate to this song. It keeps me grounded. It has also allowed me to better manage Mental Health issues like PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. Sharlene months ago you made a post related to Mental Health. This helped save me from my struggles. And that last bit is the biggest reason why.
It helps to manage chronic pain and anxiety. It makes me feel like we are really one, species evolving and adapting, and to live is the best part of it. This is a poem.
I have several types of mental disorders and the music of Nightwish keeps me grounded all day - every day!
Sadly I wasn't at the Tampere gig, luckily I was at Wembley when Richard Dawkins there. That was breathing, the all the 'long' songs were played. So yeah, I feel blessed.
By “long” you meant classic, extraordinary, amazing and brilliant songs
I know when I finally get to see this performed live next year, I will be a blubbering mess of tears. It’s just so powerful.
Then That Happened!!! What a great song! what a great Band!!! What a great reaction!!! Thank you so much! 👏👏👏
Summer evenings in Finland are bright. Fortunately, during this song, it was already darker.
I am gonna say it again... everyone in the whole world should see and experiance this.
As a biology/science nerd this is my opus. Only Tuomas could put 4.6 billion years of Earth and evolution into the perfect 20 minute musical composition. The calmness and repetitive melody in beginning correlated to the nothingness of space then the hits/collisions causing Earth to take its initial form. Then very first lifeforms beginning…then gets more intense as things “rapidly “ change and even more intense and heavy/sinister with “Toolmaker”. Even the quick “musical evolution “ near end is so well thought out. Lyrically it is perfect description of everything so far. Marko’s bass in this is one of my favorite bass works of all time (plus his vocals -crazy good musician). Floor’s vocals are so great from operatic head voice, speechy drone/robotic like then gritty/distortion and final crazy high repeated belts 🤯. Plus her dress … the white is double stranded DNA helixes (total nerd out for me with that-even the rivets correlate to base pair links) -the fact the camera crew caught the identical twins in audience which is perfect example of how our DNA works is even more awesome. The fact they thank everyone including Floor’s makeup person and dressmaker and their bus driver in addition to all their crew is a testament to how awesome these folks are and why they are so loved by fans like me. Great reaction. Love your channel. Respect from wild wonderful West Virginia 🤘.
Her dress is also a tribute to the Finnish flag, but nice reference to the double helix. I hadn't seen that. The twins was also something that caught my eye ... how amazing they were included. Kudos on your insightful comment.
Yes. Even the timing of the fireworks matches cosmic events in the formation of the solar system. It’s mind boggling.
@@AndreSomers If you really want your mind blown, lookup Historian Reacts review of this. He goes into incredible detail - including how the six repeating notes represent Carbon. The depth of this masterpiece is staggering.
@@chadbennett7873 didn’t know that one yet, will look it up. Do you mean this one? ua-cam.com/video/9taZNVtExjo/v-deo.html
Are you familiar with Guylain Prince? He also has some pretty good textual analysis, though I feel his older once go a bit deeper than the more recent ones.
I have red that one of his early versions was ~90min.
Perfect for ISS.
Thank you. The text on your shirt is absolutely right. Chills, tears, anxiety ... you can name it all. And what can I say. I just adored this band.
Hi @Songs and Thongs - since you two love to freak out over Tuomas' compositional skills (as do we all) - here's one for you. I didn't see it in the other comments, so if this is a dupe I'm sorry.
The opening piano/keyboard progression is so tranquil and beautiful, but it seems there's hidden meaning there! It starts with a single note, then progresses to six notes and the sixth is held in order to begin the sequence again. So it's 1...1,2,3,4,5,6 (hold 6 to act as 1 again), repeat etc.
The atomic number of hydrogen is 1, and the atomic number of carbon is 6. Stars are the furnaces that ultimately produce all of the heavier elements. The lyrics actually then say "from the stellar nursery into a carbon feast".
WHO WRITES LIKE THAT?!?!?!?
Tuomas apparently. 🤯
Dude, you have just blown my mind 🤯😱😳
@@jeffbowden8367 Same thing happened to me! I just shook my head and said "Holy. Sh*t."
That's insane! I thought the 3 minutes and counting timing in The Poet and the Pendulum was good. This is a whole different level. 🔥
Awesome @Jeff K
Have you had a chance to see the Nighwish book "We Were Here"?
The band that can call it “The Greatest Show on Earth” and deliver on all points…incredible👏
The greatest show on earth 🌎 refers to the Richard Dawkins book of the same name about evolution of univers and life
@@WanderlustWarrior46 I was aware of that but I thought they also delivered in a different play on the title and perhaps should have clarified that in my comment ..cheers wander👍👍🤘🤘
You figured out Nightwish.
Music for the mind and heart. Not just the ears. Packed with meaning and emotions
"Dead Boys Poem", live from Bueous Aires....One of Floor's finest vocals....
I love this Song 😍
yep...
ua-cam.com/video/mcu5-NPw26c/v-deo.html
Super excited. After 20 years of fandom within the last 30 minutes I got tickets to see Nightwish in Denver. I wasn't sure I would ever get the chance. A bucket list item for sure. Love watching people discover this song. I get emotional at every " we were here".
I love this song. Floor's vocals on "Ghost Love Score" top it for me but "The Greatest Show on Earth" still makes me cry.🥲
While it’s not my favorite song, this is just so damn good. I too tend to get a bit misty eyed watching this version.
I feel the same way. The overall feeling that is created here and also built up by the lyrics just leaves you with goosebumps and teary eyes, while on GLS Floor's voice together with the energy at the end is just indescribably awesome. 🤘🏻
Another masterpiece!!
Greatest concert in a long long time.
At last...!!!
Thank you😀🇫🇮😍!
I'm in tears with you guys! What a reaction!
Welcome to the greatest comments deliverables on Earth: THE NIGHTWISH ARMY
For my, the best reaction. Im sure. We love you.
Ahhhh been waiting for you two to do this one. Said it before and I'll probably say it a few more times: I've spent most of my life in vocal music (and a bit of instrumental as well) and, to me, this is the finest composition/production/performance of the 21st Century so far. AND Floor in her DNA double helix dress in the blue and white of Finland. *Side note: Floor's parents were in the audience for this and they were blown away.
This is the modern day equivalent of Haydn's Schöpfung. After 300 years that badly needed an update.
Floor's parents where at this show. As a father of a daughter like yall, can you imagine seeing your baby girl up there. I'm sure they had a big smile
This performance is the epitome of the culmination of masterful lyrics meeting incredible voicals supported by epic instrumentation.
Oh man! that final THAT FINAL!! i'm not crying, you are crying
I’m with the both of you getting emotional with this song! We Were Here!!!!! The question after hearing and seeing this is: Who are you and what is your legacy going to be?! Absolutely beautiful
So true. Great comment!
WE WERE HERE!!!
Thanks from Colombia
finally you did this song /event .was it difficult to wait .?
i am glad you did this one emotinal .great and great . every time i watch it .already because of the perfection.
thank you both
i like watching you .you are both so real
Amazing reaction - and don’t forget Troy on low whistle ,Uilleann pipes and harmonies
I Love when reactors "follow the path" through the big 3, and think, "OK we're ready for TGSOE"
...and they NEVER are...
Great job you two!
Hello from New Jersey, USA. Not my first time hearing this song but I am a relative newcomer to the Nightwish Army. It is impossible to listen to this song and not have a smile on your lips and tears streaming down your cheeks. That ending with the "We were here" does it for me every single time without fail. I wish I could have been at this show. I hope Nightwish makes it to the US to do a large open air show. I have to see them live before I die.
Brilliant 👏👏 Nightwish Just Gave Us All a Wonderful Science Lesson About Evolution 👏👏 Fireworks Represent The Big Bang ! Plants / Trees Was Earth's Garden ! Animals Out Of Africa Was a Form Of Life ! Finally The Birth Of Mankind & Evolution ! Beautiful Powerful Music ! Luv Luv These Intelligent People ! Nightwish Disciple From Queensland Australia 🇦🇺😝👍
This is my Bohemian rhapsody. A timeless song that I will never get tired of.
Loved seeing how emotionally invested you seemed to be. I feel like you appreciate those moments the way I do🤗
Truly amazing.
It feels like the best intro to a musical piece I've ever heard, and I'm 73.
Your reaction pretty much sums up the feelings of everyone who has ever watched / listened to this song! 👏
This was in Finland (Nightwish’s home country ) and Floor’s parents were also there that night. So it was special!
🥰 💥
(Note Floor’s outfit it’s a combination of the Finnish flag and also represents a DNA helix). 🇫🇮 🧬
There are so many incredible moments Tuomas has intertwined into this song - ie the history of music is integrated from the Minuet to Metallica and many more - look them up, definitely one of the Greatest Shows on Earth!
🎼 🎶 🎵 🌎 💥 👏
Kitee is their original members hometown. Tampere is one of Finlands biggest cities. Tuomas still lives in Kitee.
Watched by the greatest audience ... IN THE WOOORLD! 😂😂
This is a Mammoth. The whole Evolution in one song. No other band than Nightwish can and want do something that grandioso. The meet and greet at the end is beautiful and touching. ⛄👍
Wolfgang Van Halen's album is also Mammoth.
Thxs, love your reaction.
Science, combined with metal music. Who would have thought? Works pretty well, in my book!
WE WERE HERE!
Totally agree this should be the Anthem of Humanity...its in the vein of (yet far exceeds) Stairway to Heaven and other classic, perfect songs that I feel like everyone should know. And hearing Richard Dawkins speak the words from his book makes me cry everytime! I wish everyone who knows me would give this song a listen...to better understand both me, and our Universe. The music takes you on such an emotional ride...like the song says, Opus Perfectum!
Cheers and thank you for your heartfelt reaction~
Loves to see the both of You and the great reaction !
Fiiiiiiiiiinaly 😃
I know right!!!
@@SongsandThongs Hehehehe yeah.
A Nightwish happy song????
Alpenglow, live from Mexico City.
Amazing.
And weak Fantasy from this Tampere show. Also amazing
I'm not sure I'd say Weak Fantasy is a happy song 😅
Maybe try My Walden or I Want My Tears Back instead 😉
@@Lannisen I didn't mean that Weak Fantazy is a happy song. Mor that it's an amazing song from the Tampere show
this is one of the best songs on earth! to write music like this is absolutely genious!
Great announcer voice
Why thank you!
Yeah! My favorite song of Nightwish! I am so happy =)
In before the Block (lol, it won't happen)
So much fun, but dang it, I gotta get ready for work.
Right now, the first harmonies... just amazing work, especially Marko hanging out on the higher bits.
Great reaction guys, for this great and epic song from our beloved Nightwish. This song is so awesome, that every I hear it, I have to choke back tears. Not an easy thing to admit from a 66 year old guy from Texas. No other band has ever effected me like that, but Nightwish has several songs that do. BTW you guys really, really, really need to checkout the band ' The Warning'. Three young sisters from Mexico, that will rock your socks off. They were invited to participate In Metallica's Blacklist Project. They completely revamped 'Enter Sandman', and made it their own. It's awesome. The Warning is a rabbit hole you want to go down. Trust me!
The anthem of humanity. Perfect.
Welcome aboard the Nightwish train our Valkyrie goddess will be our conductor to euphoria and beyond... Forever! ALL ABOARD!!🌹
The phenomenon of Nightwish and even more so of Floor Jansen is that they will start a song on a scale between 0 and 10 on 2 and you will like it.
Then they will turn it up to 4 or 5 and you will be amazed. Then you will realize it's only the first third of the song. Then they will do really crazy stuff and push it up unto 8 or 9 and you will fall in love with them. And then they will blow your mind by doing serious music. Like 12.
It's touching my soul every single time...
i was there and this was an EPIC moment i will never forget EVER
Thats all. Perfect and full of suprises and transitions. Durmmer❤️
What to say... But...
Thanks for doing this. The one and only Nightwish...
Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮
Undeniably, one of the best bands on the Planet they have just been singing about.
Epic..
I gut emotional every time I hear this song.
How do they do it - well, they really appreciate their helpers, see the trailing text where they recognize everyone, crew, lighting, engeeniring, drivers, caterers, etc. How many band do you see doing that?
Seeing them live in the uk in 4 weeks. Excited is an understatement. Surely one of the best live bands around
Awesome reaction guys!
You HAVE to do a reaction for "Shoemaker" 😍 You can't miss this experience.
Best song ever. Period 🤓
Made me cry too, you're not human if that doesn't get to you! another great reaction, love you 2 xx
Yes! WE WERE HERE! 😢👍
Person: "How many instruments can you play?" Troy: "YES!"
Amazing composition and excellent reaction.
Great reaction guys, we are so going to miss Marko..........👍👍🤘🤘
Awesome reaction, thank you!
Metal Mozart composition
Two of my favorite reactors! Nightwish Army, USA Division, Pennsylvania Regiment reporting
Sharleen (sorry, if I butchered your Name ❤) did read the lyrics during the song. At least I assume, since your facial expression did show understanding. This song does put me back into place every time I am in anger with my life. I was here and this is a pure coincidence. Or, to put it with another great mind, The Doctor: 'we're all stories in the end. Just lets make it a good one, eh?' Lots of love to you guys!
This song is an emotional roller coaster, great reaction!
If you want to see a special video about Floor, watch this video: Floor Jansen in Dutch Show Reunion (Tampere 2015). Floor is being interviewed and then she goes to a reunion of her Rock Academy Class (I think that's what it is). Then the interviewer interviews Floor and her parents at the venue of the video you just watched (they were in the audience during the show) and then gets to interview her after she is dressed for the show and fixing to go on stage. But be forewarned, grab the tissues before watching.
You mean this?

Floor was created in a laboratory by ex-soviet scientists to be the singer of Nightwish. Only explanation for how she fits so perfectly in this band.
Lol, no that's Troy Donockley with his flutes and Uilleann pipes. In Wembley version he plays guitar with E-Bow in those flute parts
The first part with the synchopated music punches synched with fireworks is awesome, but the one last punch before the flute (or woodwind) come up, thats EPIC!
there's a power in screaming we were here! :D Nothing like some life affirmation every now and then as a bit of a pickup!
Really one of the greatest Bands in the World.
Three years ago, a band I'd hardly heard of, called "Nightwish" was coming to my area. I researched a bit, and decided to go see them. And they were good, but I sadly really wasn't READY for what was going on, and so didn't get as much as I could from it. Jump forward three years, and *countless* reaction videos, later, and they're FINALLY touring North America again. I have to drive 6 hour to get there, but oh yes - I'm so there! And I'm bringing tissues - those "We Were Heres" get me every time. As always, great job, guys! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I think you missed an homage to Metalica, Harry, due to talking over the music... it was only a few notes but started around 29:03 and ended by 29:04. Not complaining, you both do fantastic work. While I am not a fan of Dawkins, because he is an atheist, I have to admit some of the words spoken (by him?) at the end of the show are in some way quite profound. with that said; well done to everyone that was a apart of this show. Special recognition to Marko Hiatala (I hope I didn't butcher your name) for his masterful contribution to this group and their overall sound. Marko, I hope you and your family are happy, healthy, and prospering.
Yeah and before that a bit of J.S. Bach I think.
@@JanStuivenberg2810 Yes and some Mozart thrown in there as well.
And dance beats, tribal drumming, country music…. It’s another tale of evolution, but the evolution of music this time. I did not put these on a time line, but I would not be surprised if their relative timings would be accurate.
Your emotions said it all!! Thank you so much!!
Perfection = Nightwish
