Jeff looks fantastic for his age! He's over 70 at this point
Does he ever find Carrie?
Yes, he does eventually at the end after the martians die from Earth's bacteria.
Make it 74
@@JackpotButtonLewis oh oke :) love from the USA. Be safe from COVID19 :)
Jeff please make a movie based on your LP. That's what us fans would really love.
DEFO!!!!
It's wierd, I feel like I'm the only one who heard the New Generation before the original. I can't say which one is best because that depends on the person you ask. And I like them both in their own rights.The voice acting was better in the original. But the new one has what I feel a more powerful drive to it. It feels more intense and technological.
i heard the original first on vinyl and i have to say they both have their merits. there are certain things i think are better about the original but i think that is my bias from hearing it and loving it first. the main one being the wind up to the ulah shout from the aliens at the end of thunder child gets a bit loud to quickly in the new one instead of slowly ramping up the volume like the old one. however having said that i could happily sit and listen to all of this one and enjoy it so they are both quite good and if releasing it again lets people who never heard of the original find out about it then it is a good thing
I'm halfway
I think leam nelson in and the guy who did Nathaniel the preacher were both really good in ng.
Maybe it's just because I'm usually favourable to updated sound quality and production value, but the "New Generation" is a lovely lick of fresh paint imo and just as good if not better. I think it does all come down to which you grew up with!
There's definitely a happy medium between the two versions. I'd love to see an amalgamation of the two some day, maybe with a few new vocal recordings (IE Jason Donovan and Carrie Hope Fletcher over Maverick Sabre and Joss Stone, and a new recording from Ricky Wilson to match the far superior version he did on the 2012 stage tour)
The true crime is that a full length movie of his work hasnt been made
I’ve just seen this with Marty pellow and Jason donivan. Amazing live. Watched it on DVD. Wished I’d seen it live. I love war of the worlds.
if Jeff Wayne brings Gary Barlow and Alex Clare on stage including Gordy Marshall as playing the drums, The New Generation tour will be more fantastic
I love the war of the worlds I have been listening to the music since I was a foetus both of my parents played it when I was inside my mothers womb and it will always be my favourite musical
Just heard it and enjoyed it. The classic album is in there with the remixed stuff. I have to admit that I still prefer the original (given the number of years I've listened to it) but this was very respectful to the original but different enough to be interesting to long term fans and pull in new listeners as well.
I have both versions on deluxe editions, even my dad has the original version on Record with the pictures, I love this so much & I wish I could see it live, keep up fighting the marshans
*Martians
This will forever be my favourite
Jeff seems like such a nice guy.
R.I.P. Phil Lynott.............. there is no other Parson Nathaniel
I'm a big Lynott fan- but it it pains me to say the lack of his acting skills were glaringly obvious on the original recording.
I'm a 22 year old Man and I love Jeff Wayne's Musical version of the war of Worlds . I seen this live in 2012 -2014 tours I'm also a Guitarist hello From South Wales.
I grew up listening to the musical on vinyl (Yes, you heard that right.) We would always play it on long car trips (Then it was cassettes) and it still gives me the shivers on CD. I was ever so careful as a kid handing the vinyl and the included booklet. My love of that productions makes me very nervous about this updated version. I did however enjoy the stage production from some years ago.
I wonder what hg wells would make of his story becoming a musical
He was somewhat optomistic about the radio adaptation so it could go either way.
I like HG Wells' stories. I agree with Marti Pellow (O2 Live 2012, Sung thoughts of the Journalist) when interviewed he said the next best story is The Time Machine. I'd love to see/hear Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The Time Machine if he ever wrote the score.
Masterpiece. Both versions. And for those who love it but are not aware, a long, beautiful version is now available at Audible.
jsfbr ooo now I have to get audible
Pt. 2
Then when I was 11, I had Nostalgia. I started listening to it frequently, and started to get into it. I then learnt how to play it on Keyboard, and, as they say, the rest is history.
0:20 where can i find that????????????????? i want one
I love Jeff Wayne's Musical version of the war of worlds. I seen it Twice in Cardiff.
I thought Carrie lived in a little Red brick House with her father.
She's gone upmarket. 🤔
wow fantastic. The first album I ever listened to! (Jarre's Oxygene after that). This is the first time I will be buying an album with Gary Barlow on it, but it makes sense as a choice, as a replacement for Essex etc. Futurists should love it, naysayers will show themselves to be the old small minded people they usually and predictably are - It's a Jeff Wayne production after all, the magic is still there! :-)
A hugely strong original cast on vinyl and tape cassette, matched well by the 2012 O2 stage cast on DVD.
Was just imagining what a stage version with the best of both 'Worlds' (excuse the pun) would've been like!
Burton's had such a strong and recognisable presence/voice worldwide, it must've been so hard to try a full his boots yet Neeson was a good choice.
I think in his heyday, Anthony Hopkins would've been a really strong choice.
Jeff, I would LOVE to see your show live here in the USA! (Specifically, the Northeast, but I'd think your show would do well cross-country). ;)
Can't wait to see the live show
What we as fans, really need is a big screen epic cinema version of this classic story, which of course would be a musical with little dialogue and MUST be set in Victorian England. Done Along the lines of the unappreciated EVITA film or the TOMMY rock opera, it's a mistake to set it in modern times, & also weve seen it all done for today's audience before but under other names, time & again, I.E- the v tv series etc,
NO none musical film version has ever gotten it right so far OR the BBC television drama
With the return of epic cinema - AVENGERS films, LORD OF RINGS, TRANSFORMERS, and now a DUNE remake the timing is perfect.
Obviously Jeff Wayne's music could be the ONLY musical score
very good music and storyline
I hope they come to Washington State and do a U.S. Tour.
Come to the US if you can. There's no rush.
Love it keep it up once covid 19 is gone come to melbourne australia live show many thanks
2019 still love this
I didn't know Liam was a tea or coffee drinker ^-^ Also check out "Men In Black: International" Liam's in that : D
See, Im 12. I used to HATE 'J.W. The War of the Worlds' when I was between 6-10. It used to scare the hell out of me. My dad used to play it in the car coming to and from Devon (for holidays) and he used to play it in the car and I would look at the artwork inside the CD. Thats why when I think of Devon, I think this.
You’re 19 now lol
JWTWOTW is best enjoyed in a dark, cool room played from the old CBS Mastersound 1/2 speed recording. It doesn't get any better.
So annoyed I didn't go to the live stage show in Auckland.
Uh, interesting.
But not very realistic. If the Martians truly were to take on Liam Neeson, they wouldn't last 8 seconds. Did you SEE what he did to the Albanians in Taken?
How many Albanians did he kill, you might ask? ... ALL OF THEM.
Was at @twotwofficial at the Hydro, absolutely unreal.
glad its back...but I still prefer the original.
Is the tour region locked? I'd love to experience it myself if there's ever a tour in the United States.
Pretty much the pinnacle of his work..war of the worlds is up there with pink floyd the wall.
Serious music enthusiasts cannot go around war of the worlds
i want a new tour
You have one. I went yesterday. Amazing.
@@kingkenny334 same
@@kingkenny334 same
It is funny because I am Albanian. But yes definitely it was a cool movie. Can't wait to see the second one.
Video keeps buffering on my end :'(
Come to Texas
When will we get region 1 media ?
Alternate title: Liam Neeson is attacked by martians in the 1800’s
liam Neeson is fit as I think hes got a grate voice for war of the worlds
Where is the 5.1 mix of The New Generation Album?!! Where??!?!
At 1:52 I'm sure they didn't release the right-hand side of that artwork for the CD box which is unfortunate.
🤔
Martians have walking robots. We have flying robots.
1:54 has got to be the red weed or spirit of man.
Please, now this is done, FINISH the CGI movie?
NOT DURING COVID19
Also check out the movie "Men In Black International" Liam's in it. :D
she is pretty
FightingMachine TM fake martian, martians produce asexually and thus don't have sexual attraction
Oskar Schindler Michael Collins
THE White Morgan Freeman
so... where is the movie?
+Johannes Jung 2018
it ended up not happening
it;s not a movie it's a musical
I haven't listened to it yet as I heard of the new production so will seek it out.
But based on the clips I heard in this video, the music sounds unbelievably bland and already dated ten years after this video was uploaded.
I think half of the story was well redone. But really, thunderchild is crappy now.
Whoo! First comment!
Gary Barlow?! Are you fucking kidding me?
Ishygddt...
who?
The original WOTW album strikes a perfect balance between an orchestrated sound and rock band/electronic sound. It was and still is perfect. The New Generation is an audio carbuncle. It goes much too far into the electronic which ruins the whole effect. After all, this story is supposed to be set at the turn of the twentieth century. When people told JW that it wasn't broken so don't fix it, I think he should have listened.
The early performances (2006 or so) were great and faithful, but I saw the DVD of one of the new generation gigs recently. I went from excited to flat-out ridiculing it for the entire duration. What's with the electronic kits? What's with the 90s-era EDM keyboard hits? What's with the wub? All the added dialogue and backstory to the martians? THEY UNDERSTOOD DOORS
After this 2012 video, the 2014 version added HG Wells onstage musing on how humans are as bad as martians and other such scintillating balls. Let's just listen to the original, watch the 2006 DVD and ignore all the ass-sunderingly awful CGI that went with it.
DaveDexterMusic well the "they understood doors" was from the book
"They understood doors" was also originally recorded for the 1978 version as well. The 7-disc collector's edition that came out some years ago had a whole CD with outtakes and alternate recordings, and Richard Burton says the line quite a few times.
The New Generation is very good, in fact. It has a nice beat and is nice to listen to now and again
The movie "ID4" was kinda like War of the worlds. With the martians mothership and flying spaceships.
Hope they coming to Russia, all of us want to see that
This Tweet hasn't aged well.
Joke, I hope Russians get a chance to enjoy it too.
I'm sorry but Richard Burton will always be war of the worlds
The origanel is better
he shouldn't have "fixed" it
