- Jeff Wayne tells about the musical version he made of 'The Eve Of The War' by H.G. Wells. A short documentary by Top 2000 a gogo (Dutch Public TV) from 2006.
The song is from one of the best soundtracks of all time..... brilliant...
The John Farnham Experience
Soundtrack?
Whether in English or in german with Curd Jürgens as speaker instead of Richard Burton in english. I had the LPs got the CD's and copied it to my SSD. It', just a click away ;-) Jeff Waynes version is the best besides the writer!
no, it only has two great songs , the eve of the war ad forever autumn. the rest is so so. the wall is much better!
@@DJDanceClassic That's your opinion just like mine is my opinion... that's the thing with music, it all comes down to personal taste... so don't tell me no mate... I'm glad you like 'The Wall'... but that's 'your' opinion....
Justin hayward great vocals on forever authumn
in deed i hate the new version i love this one so mutch i bought the DVD
I remember my friend and I went 1/2 and 1/2 to buy this album.. and then went back his apartment and smoked some of the best weed available at the time... this was what... 1976? and we got blassted.. What a great memory. Thanks
Quess the Red Weed track must have been an experience for both of you
As if we want to hear about this Nugget of Information
@@middxmale9692 you didnt have to listen...
Despite this album being well before my time, it's one of my favourites. Beautifully composed, beautifully sung by the singers, beautifully acted by the voice actors. There are so many things that were done well with this album, and I still continue to listen to it.
It's the seamless integration of electronic, rock and orchestral sounds that I love.
Best record I've ever heard. Listened to it since I was twelve years old. Definitely in the top ten best albums ever made.
Richard Burton was the voice.
Yes he was and only his voice made it!
Wrong! He is just one of the two voices being so terrific. The other one in german was Curd Jürgens. Really, just as good.
@@MrNickelbrille youre right, I like both. And they where both great actors.
"Adaptions were all centered in the modern America! I decided to place it in its own time, backed by the setting accurate disco beat."
Back in the days, as a boy, I listened to this in bed, in complete darkness. It added so much to the experience. And I thought the musical covered very well the events in the book. Brilliant album.
This is the best musical story I've ever heard - I've lost count of how many times I listened to Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds"
ik vind deze variant 10000x beter dan de nieuwe versie uit eindelijk vond ik de dvd bij blokker en ik rende als een sneltrein naar de balie om hem te kopen :)
Yes Hayward was sublime here.
Thin Lizzy had a bad cold.
Wow I want to see the rest of this concert
Its a musical you should track down the dvd
it is absolutely worth it! I've bought it years ago and can't remember how many times I've watched it. Make sure you get the right version, which is the entire concert lasting almost two hours. There's also a short adaptation only lasting 30 minutes.
That ended too soon!
Superb!
That is the best and only true widely known ROCK opera and not just an opera with distorted guitars! And one of the first records that would come to mind as visual music and musical storytelling.
Gustaf Cederborg my bad - do not know them as well. What is exact name? Will give it a try
Gustaf Cederborg ah, you mean in general:) yep, but I was referring to WoWs as true opera only because: 1. I’ve counted out all opera-like music. Without librettos, different heroes, story and so on. 2. Be a rock music in the first place, but with all opera traits. Example: Jesus Christ Superstar is more like an opera with drums and guitars, rather than true rock opera.
That’s it. Supertramp are great of course! Just what I’ve heard was not an opera per se, that’s it:)
I had dreadful nightmares as a child when I first heard this and refused to leave the house for a week, I was so traumatised by this album I could not listen to it for over 20 years lol
Same here lol
I still can't walk through central London without expecting a tripod and a heat ray...
Same oh my goodness
Veronica heeft ooit nog eens een Nederlandse versie gemaakt, met onder andere Jan van Veen en Willem Duyn. Die heb ik nog ergens op een cassettebandje...
Ja, ze vroegen altijd Van Veen vanwege die diepe stem. Maar de arme man kon niet acteren, hij vond altijd de verkeerde plaats, om de _klemtoon_ te _leggen_ .
@@DrWhom De Kansss is een milllljoeeeeeen tegen 1...ssussaahnnnneeee !
I think the record Version is better with Richard Burton narrating
Yes, bought that at the time,
Still get goosebumps when i hear the martians ULAH!
It had been my favorite book as a boy so I was thrilled when the Musical version of War of the Worlds came out in 1978. To this day, it is completely unique in the history of music.
i still listen to this album at least 3 times a month if not 4 and weekly. and then ive watched the new versions over and over as well.
One of my favorite albums of all time.
2022: "power in the wrong hands, in our crazy world"
I heard he got the idea from what Hawkwind had done
War of the World is the greatest album of all time
De gitarist die 't meest rechts staat (op 't linker gedeelte van 't podium) is sessiegitarist Chris Spedding, die destijds ook op de "War Of The Worlds" LP speelde.
De bassist speelde ook op de plaat met die bas gitaar
Born in the late 70s, I grew up listening to this in South Australia. My parents would blast it out of our little house front window while I sat on the front lawn. I still listen to it now. Love Justin Hayward too
They are still on tour with it. And it is worth to see and hear it live! ULAH!
I was so scared of this song when I was little 😅
But I found Julie Covington with her "Nathaniel" so carming.I keep singing that when life fucks around with me again
This is my all time favorite albumn. Thank You!
Come On ThunderChild
Captivated by this when I heard it in autumn 1978,having seen the film several years previously but not yet read the book.
The 'live' version with Justin is astounding. Buy the DVD and listen to it with headphones....
I was in hospital in 1978 and my uncle tapped it onto a tape called a 90+6 made by BASF (I think). He brought into hospital for me. I played many, many time over the next 6 months I was there. I still love that album and it brings back so many memories of being in hospital.
I bought this album when I was in my teens, when it came out, read the book, but only realised recently this story is about colonialism.
Duh!
Hindsight is 20/20, but I really don’t get why I didn’t get this.
Album is great though, Richard Burton is the Cherry on the cake
The chances of anything coming in arse...
if you liked this then try Rick Wakemans` Journey to the Centre of the Earth. recorded a few years earlier with David Hemmings acting as narrator. It was recorded live at the Albert Hall.It was planned to have two nights of recording but one turned out to be unusable. making it even more remarkable.
As a 13 year old i was terrified and fascinated in one by this album…
My best friend turned me onto this in high school. We actually had the opportunity to play some of it at a school assembly.
The best the world can get..
Burton's voice....

nice.
A Masterpiece!
I love Jeff Wayne so much, I really wish he made more albums. I think he was discouraged by the reaction to Sparticus (which I love dispute the cheesiness) I still have hope he'll give it another go
