Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth (OFFICIAL LIVE) REACTION!!! This got me VIBING!!! 🤩 

Nightwish is the pinnacle of metal music. And Floor is arguably the best female singer of our generation

You MUST react to more Nightwish on this channel. Yes, you did hear horns. Backtrack audio from the London Philharmonic Orchestra who work with Tuomas on most NW songs. I do hope you read all the comments. You will get a massive crash course in History and understand the song so much more!!!

The start of the song is Tuomas on keyboard (piano setting) and Troy on guitar using an Ebow to get the effect of a violin or viola. Nightwish work with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Metro Choir to prerecord the backing track. The song is about the forming of Earth and evolution to and beyond man. Great reaction to the song. If you want to see the best crowd reaction then check out I Want My Tears Back from Buenos Aires 2019, You should also check out the version of this song from Tampere in Finland it will surprise you even more.

Your mic is very very very loud ,the best version of this song is the live Tampere version in my opinion, nightwish uses a pre recorder symphony orchestra composed by the keyboard player that why you head the Horns there is a whole symphony orchestra !

Hi there. Ok, so what instruments are being used? Other than piano and whatever sounds Tuomas chose to use on the synthesizer, and the guitar Troy is using with that piece that makes it sound like a violin, Pip Williams writes the orchestral parts for Nightwish and creates a backing track for their live shows using the London Philharmonic Orchestra, London's The Metro Voices, and Young Children's Choir. So if you heard an oboe, or strings, or a French horn or all together, chances are they were playing in the backing track provided by Pip Williams. Why is there a turtle? This song is Thomas' "short" version of the evolution of life, starting with the big bang and the creation of the universe. There were many visuals included in the performance that help to keep up with the era the song is reflecting. It also helps to know that the song is actually set in 5 parts? I believe? Richard Dawkins paused on Endless Forms Most Beautiful because that's the name of the album the tour is supporting. You looked like you really enjoyed that experience. Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤🤘🤘

Troy is playing his Irish Mandolin with a bow so it sounds like a violin!!!

The guy at the end was Richard Dawkins, who wrote all the spoken parts (and recorded them in the studio for them to be used in the concerts). They are quotes from his book, "The greatest show on Earth".

Triple keyboards and a "Nightwish Red" wine bottle holder, did you notice the bottle? Whole London Philharmonic An almost throwaway line mentioning Mrs "Do-as-you-would-be-done-by"? A childhood reference by Tuomas! "The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby"

Nightwish Army UK popping in for the creation of the universe.

Nightwish .. the rabbithole is deep haha. You gonna enjoy it. Grtzz from the Netherlands.

The instruments at the start - obviously Tumoas's keys. And Troy is playing his guitar with a e-bow, a device that creates sustain like a cello. Tuomas has many instrument patches on his keys, and the horns come from there. The whole piece is based on evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins's book The Greatest How on Earth, which covers the story of the earth from its inception through to the higher life forms. It is one of the most important pieces of biological research of recent times. And yes, that is him at the end.

Yes please react to Nightwish you have not seen. You can post parts of your past VODs here where you reacted if it can still be done, and post new ones after you record on stream. I'm sure many would watch :) Troy is using an E-Bow on his guitar to give it that cool effect. It is not feasible to travel on tour with an entire orchestra and choirs so they work with the London Philharmonic Orchestra & London City choirs to do backing tracks for many songs. You are hearing a lot of orchestral instruments yes lol. You should check out the Tampere version of this song too for some different production and its a bit more epic. :) That ending quote gave me a new appreciation for my life and I think of it whenever things suck lol. 🙃

Most of the orchestra sounds you hear is a backing track recorded buy the London Philharmonic ,supported by the 3 key boards .

Best symphonic Metal band thats ever been bar none. First band I've really taken to since becoming a Pink Floyd nut in the 70s

6.4 billion years of the evolution of our solar system, the earth, and every living thing on our planet. Troy is use a magnetic device called an Ebow. It allows a guitarist to imitate the sound of a violin as well as other special effects. What you are hearing is the orchestra arrangement on the backing track. It is the Orchestre de Grandeur which includes French Horns as well as many other orchestra instruments and a full Choir. You said it SunflowerGeek. Tuomas is a poet and his lyrics are very deep level, full of imagery and metaphors.

the song is based on richard dawkins book the greatest show on earth, the song is basically the entirety of evolution in 22 mins.

this song is about the evolution of earth...space, big bang. beginning of life in every form, even the evolution of music is in it...

I love the fact how my man Kai Hahto on the drums effortlessly carries the primal rhythms of this song!

The song is about the creation of the universe, beginning with a quiet, soothing nothingness... Then the big bang- celestial bodies forming, an inference to the promise to come with the cello. The orchestral rise represents the further collisions of stars and dying planets. Then everything dies back down.. and that's only at 2:39 . Then uncertainty follows, the idea of unknown purpose.... At 4:28 "us, sleeping" ...the song so far. The middle represents the struggle of first evolution, LUCA, The Last Universal Common Ancestor.. the origin of life as we know it today. Then the chemical writing of DNA through the process of mutation... The sudden rush of evolution that followed. Then the travel of our ancestors from Africa. Then the "hunger for shiny rocks" and "giant mushroom clouds" (minerals and atomic bombs). Then ends with our appreciation of the time we were given on this Earth and the nature that will undoubtedly outlive us.

So happy you enjoyed it! imagine after doing a full concert, ending it with that song. That is the longest song out of all the ones i have heard from any band/artist/performer that i could have suggested lol.

Imagine seeing this song wrote out on paper, with all the layers.. mind-blowing 🤯

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your reactions, perfect. I love to watch people experience Nightwish, Foreigner had a song called "Feels Like The First Time" and that's what I get by watching reactions, It's like experiencing it all over again like the first time. Every Floorgasm people experience I don't just remember my first time (Floorgasm) I can relive it through others. Sorry if that sounded dirty, not meant to be. I haven't checked your page out so I don't know anything about you, but you need to be broadcasting somewhere on the radio, Sirius XM, something. You have a great voice and a real insight into music. Thank you for allowing us to relive these moments.

They use backing tracks with Orchestra and chorus. That's what you're hearing.

The song is about us, about the big bang, about the evolution of earth. They are using backing tracks (samples with the keyboard) , London Philarmonic work with them for the last 16 years.

Marko is not Gandalf..lol. He is called the Viking Tuomas is the Metal Mozart and band leader. Emmpu is the Electric Hobbit Troy is the Bard Kai is the Human Metronome and last but not least Floor is the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy 😎😎😎😎😎😍🤩🤗 HAIL Nightwish

It is what we the Nightwish army call...A Floorgasim!!! We welcome you!

This is one of the many "epic" songs of Nightwish! This song is from the "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" album. The whole album is fabulous, as is everything else I have heard of theirs! As you guessed, the song starts off with the Big Bang...if you watch the live version at Tampere, it's at an outdoor venue, fireworks are a big part of the song in the beginning, and at the end! This is one of my favorite songs by Nightwish! The Nightwish Army is probably already aware of you and there is so much more to learn about Nightwish as you go deeper into their music! Thanks for the great reaction! Try "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" ....the Official Lyric video"...it's awesome!

I actually prefer this version over the Tampere spectacle. It sounds so clear and beefy. That drop at 14:45 gets me every time...Boom~!

NO Nightwish song has ALL of the instruments at the concert. Symphonic sounds are recorded and added in via MIDI during concerts. In a typical studio recording there are around 500+ instrument and vocal tracks for every song. There are choir tracks also as part of that. All of that before mixing occurs.

U probably missed at the end they played an enter sandman riff from Metallica. Fits the song and the perception we were here.

Glad that you found the grandeur of their music, poetry, lyrics, performance and all that on stage plus visuals. Do more them...you can not pick a bad or even average one if you just take what ever they do (have done since 1996). Tuomas is a Metal Mozart, Keats and Shakespeare at the same time when writing material like this. Maybe you noticed that they go through history the whole evolution from the formation of material in space up to future what is going to be soon...and refer our brief time in the sun there. In the album version there is a long instrumental part in the end too...originally the song was to be 45 min long but had to be shortened even for the album.

you should also watch this great piece of music with their performance in Tampere, there is more spectacle (fireworks).🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶

this is a great performance but the best for this song is the one from the 2015 concert in tampere.

Hellyeah...!!!! Nightwish ❤️❤️🤟🤟

Thanks from Colombia, great reaction

Enter Luca Enter Life Enter the god of gaps Enter Ionia Enter History Enter Ratkind Enter Sandman

Thomas has put music on evolution (The Greatest Show on Earth), inspired by richard dawkins, who himself participated with the last words of this concert. It's so Great :-)

first :P haha had to do it once.

The last quote is from "The Origin of The Species'" by Charles Darwin.

Toumas plays three different keyboards behind that stand!!!

Don't you count Kai Hahto's sweat. This is so easy for him. Watch the Wintersun "Sons and Winter and Stars" and come then again talking about SIR Kai's sweating. 😅👍

Thank you Tuomas!

@12:43 "They keep the fan on her so that she doesn't sweat. And that added effect is a bonus." Oh honey your wrong. That is our majestic queen goddesses' effect. There was no fan there XD!

New fan you rock and are cool and cute this band you will fall in love with do more story time is a good one

Tuomas on keyboard is songwriter and song effects

Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division reporting in on your 1st Nightwish reaction . Heck of a way to start with there longest song . This a masterpiece written by the Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards, Composer and Founder) . The singer our Valkyrie Queen miss Floor Jansen . I must suggest there song "Ghost Love Score" live at the Wacken Open Air festival 2013 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-47e_961OQWE.html

You will have to research this song for complete context and then listen to the Tampere version. Great reaction

Now that you have seen this one, check out the Tampere version. Much better IMHO.

Absolutely yea, more NW reactions. Good old Gabriel will point you in the right direction of course!

epica unleashed live

The Tampere version is much better. It's too bad you started your Nightwish journey with this song, in my opinion it is their best song and should be the cherry on top after you have listened to their other songs (all of which are great BTW).

Some of the orchestra is prerecorded from the LSO. And I think you would be sweating after an over two hour performance. The quotes during the music and near the end were from Richard Dawkins and then at the end he came on and quoted Charles Darwin.

Great reaction so fun to watch your a very excitable person you express how many of us feel when we see Nightwish.

It's allway pure joy to watch someone completelly captivated by Nightwish song :) Thanks! ❤

Woot so excited to watch love your reactions love your community.

Here is another epic and insane song. I bet it will knock your socks of. EPICA - KINGDOM OF HEAVEN PT 3 - (ΩMEGA ALIVE) (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Too bad you did'nt pick the version from Tampere, it contains fireworks to symbolize the big bang etc. It's EPIC!

NIGHTWISH AND MEGADETH?? 🔥 MARCO SINGING HEAVY SOLO? 🤘🏻 My suggestion is another cover of them, which we HARDLY see on RU-vid. And if you like a HEAVY Nightwish sound, this will be a very nice one! 🔥🤘🏻😎 Marco is singing solo on this one. Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction. AND A HEAVY SIREN FLOOR & MARCO? The second also hardly on RU-vid, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen, and also again a very good singing Marco🔥❤️🤘🏻 Enjoy it, and I with you!

hi darling welkome to Nightwish ' Planet..

Was here for the floorgasm. But not sure it's a good idea to practice tour drums on your desk just near microphone 😅

Only two words Sunflower Geek. Wonderfull Reaction. 🤘🤗

Anybody seen Gabriel or Martine?

You must react to nerd vs geek by Rhett and link

Your channel is great. Fantastic music. I subscribe. Please react to Monica Naranjo - Europa. She's amazing, one of the best female voices in the world. An incredible music metal - rock - Opera. Greetings from Spain. Link 😜👇

BIG FISH 🤣🤣😂

React evanescence lithium 💙

You Love Nightwish...so i love you 💜...greatings from Holland to USA y'all 💥🎶🤘🇳🇱💎🇺🇸🙏🏼

If you would like to react to a recommended song, I would say the artist Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods & Gold

Stupid horn said Inigo 🤟🦁👍

Thanks to yours nice reactions , more NW please.

Damn girl...loved your reaction and yeah that's how it feels listening to Nightwish..and Floor. Subscribed and hope to see some more Nightwish songs soon. Also if you ever want to react to their new album... start with the first and work your way up the list. They are all amazing songs but the stories told are mindblowing. Loved your reaction. Stay safe and rock on

Unwashed so keen to see you reaction to this song but your high pitched voice destroyed my mood my hearing etc. I left a thumbs up for the energy but physically couldn‘t handle the intro! 🤯

1st piano then cello, then synth effects, then bagpipes, then drums,, then a full orchestra, then tribal drums. Then harpsichord, violin then the sounds of nature

Again u shall not pass

This was a great version with Dawkings speaking the words life. You should also see the version at Wrakken with the fireworks....

This one is good, but I preferred the Tampere version.

The guy who narrated this. Is still barred from all British so-called. I would wear that a badge of honour.

The Horns are produced by the Keys/Synths or are part of a pre recoded backing track.

Libraries aren’t dying, they’ve just evolved into digital reading, listening, and video formats. :)

Next time check out TAMPERE version !!

wow .. you are the opposite Finnish man...... and I'm opposite them (even i m)... (you talk fast ).... i wonder how fast you speak when you .... nvm.. i start to react ,,, all good... have to wait year when it get alive net 10+ year...james webb ... lucky quss.. normal you whod get ...

His name is Marko not Gandalf and next time listen and don´t talk so much omg woman

I suggest you do some homework before reacting then you would get the gist of what it is about. Horns yes backing track. I suggest that constantly passing comments you would be better served by getting background information

Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens heavy metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot diehard fans like me😁. The fans called Wolfpack. The song is "Set the world on fire" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏

A similar band is Within Temptation. Check out Stand my ground and The Howling.

This isn't even the best version. Tempere is best imo

You scream i lot in your mic! Hurts a lot in my ears, aswell drumming at the table is very annoying in earphones :-)

sry, wrong route to nightwish
