''This Is Insane''! The Greatest Show On Earth: Nightwish REACTION - Live At Tampere 

Thanks for being so observant of the entire performance, mentioning the drummer was great, the dress dna, and the progression, of the song , even the metallica reference. I could. See your appreciation of everyone involved. This was like watching a short movie or documentary. Thanks very much.

That aside glance when he recognises the Enter Sandman riff was priceless "...wait, did I really hear that?"

One heck of a performance. Those folks in Tampere got their money's worth for sure on this night.🤘👍

great night for Floor,home crowd,parents in the audience,she let it all out.

Yes Dave, that was a nod to Enter Sandman you heard :) there's at least 2 or 3 other "easter eggs" that are nods to past music. There is SO MUCH going on in the back, it's a true masterpiece. I've heard it so many times, and I still pick up new things. Thanks for reacting to it

I love to see how excited other people get when they listen to nightwish. This is not just music! This is everything! This is thought provoking! That last part when they sing "we were here" represents the whole song! That is the moment when I'm all goosebumps! I'm so thankful that I know them and i have the accessibility and eagerness to follow them.

Troy actually does a fair bit of back up vocals in this one.

I just have to say it.. the only people who don’t appreciate Troy are people who don’t listen to Nightwish. He is a beloved member of the family.

For the "We were here" chorus, this and other recordings don't really do it justice compared to what it is like to be there in the crowd, hearing the entire audience screaming their hearts out singing those three words. It is truly awe-inspiring being there in person.

Really hyped for the new album

Welcome to the world and army of Nightwish 🤟 I can't wait to see more reactions from you guys. Please check out the shows: Wacken 2013 Wembley 2015 (they sold out on that) Buenos Aires 2018 These are awesome shows with one masterpiece after one another 👍🤟

Thank you guys......... :-)

Kie actually taught Jukka how to play jazz drums he has learnt to play like Jukkas style listening to him time and time again,he said was quite difficult as he wanted to give a sound that fitted Nightwish I think he's done a brilliant job.

Just watched you on my TV! You both are wonderful! You even knew the DNA design in Floor’s costume! This is my favorite NW song! I cry every time I watch Tampere. The crowd at the end makes a primal howl. This band is the best of my 6+ decades witnessing some of the best collective musical genius in many genres of music. 14 months of the deepest dive available, via the “Noise”. I am so grateful grateful I am that I will see them in 7 months in NYC, in a big club venue. New Amsterdam, here we come! Hopefully they will be able to do larger venues in US 2021! You both made my day! A toast to We We’re Here. Human. Nature. Thanks!

I was amazed to see that most people voted for the Tampere version. The song is about evolution and when you look at and listen to the other versions, you'll notice that the song has evolved. The intro sounds much more interesting to me with Troy on the guitar and an e-bow and... Whatever, it's all good. I'm still surprised though.

So hard to choose the best one! Tampere has synchronized fireworks but Wembley has Richard Dockings humself. WE WERE HERE anyway

finally reaction from someone who understands the story behind the song

Actually it was Troy who planted the seeds for this song, because he introduced Toumas to Richard Darking's books and thoughts. Toumas, Floor and Troy all wanted to become biologist when they were kids, and the whole band are still heavily into nature and science.

This show is always an experience to watch over and over again ... About Troy I can say that he has brought a whole new life to the band and I listened to the newly released second track on their new album and Troy sings the vocals there. Sounds good.

Love your reactions guys. Thank you so much. Love your channel.

Floor has made Nightwish reach their full potential as a band. She is so much more than a opera singer or a pop singer. Her leadership on stage is something Nightwish never had and her presence and ability to communicate with the audience is comparable with such greats as Freddie Mercury. With Tarja they were stuck in the operatic metal box and with Anette they took two steps back. With Floor they became more than a band. They became an experience.

The Tampere show was Nightwish 20th anniversary show and it was in Finland so it had to be little special :)

Make sure guys to watch it through to the end including credits!!

Best song ever 🙏🏻❤️

Great reaction. Nightwish is starting world tour. Just tweeted to Colbert Late Show to book them. #nightwishtolateshow

Love Nightwish and Always great reaction...thank you 🍀❤

I haven't seen anyone else commenting on Floor's dress before, I'm glad you noticed!

So beautyfull

In a song about the creation of life & time; sung by a Valkyrie Goddess in a double helix DNA dress; did you notice the twins at 09:27 ?? 😁😁 17:30 this part always brings tears to my eyes. As Floor, on behalf of all mankind screams defiantly into a dark, uncaring, emptiness that we have in fact left our mark in space and time. MAGNIFICENT !! 💙💙💙 All Hail Floor 💙💙💙

16:35 - yes, that's exactly what you're thinking ... Enter Sandman, from Metallica

16:30 I got the same reaction thinking that I heard that riff before 😁🤣

Hope you have got tickets for Wembley, or even Cardiff, to see them in December!!! I fell into Nightwish purely by accident, a few years back, when looking at Gary Moore's "Over The Hills And Far Away", and found the Nightwish version, and was immediately hooked. Can't wait for Wembley!!!

Hype train you made my day by choosing to react to this unbelievably epic yet complex masterpiece. Never knew that Marco co written it. Insightful reaction to a great work of art. All the members of the band got their time to shine in this, however Marco and Floor where phenomenal in this. Show me another male/female singing duo in rock or metal who have half their talent because I don't think it's possible. Tuommas should be seen for what he is in this which is a modern day Mozart /Bach. Probably his finest achievement to date.... Its so unfair that a band of this calibre isn't a household name worldwide and every music station /channel isn't playing this or their other work for that matter at every opportunity. I'm just glad that we the nightwish fans are here at this moment in time to experience this incredible band. WE ARE and WERE HERE! 🎶⌚🎶😍

Thanks for doing this masterpiece. It's incredible the hear in reality I can insure you. The build up from simple piano, flute and pipes plus Floor's introduction and then her singing simple staccato, before she goes into stratospheric mode and shows her capacity (she also growls) It is a masterpiece - nothing less, and only Nightwish have the crew to do something like this. Brilliant reaction from you 👍 🤘 🤘

In my opinion this is THE masterpiece of music ever! Great reaction, great appreciation of Tuomas' genius!

You mentioned wanting to see them live: they're playing in London in December (virus permitting), still a few tickets available. I'd love to go but I'm worried I would burst into flames when Floor started to sing.

love the reaction tnx. according to the nightwish army, this song is one of the top three big ones. and i agree...

We were here 🤘🤘🤘

Great reaction to a fantastic song guys

I'm just so thankful Tuomas is here ❤

thank you so much, for a reaction to this song. greetings from Denmark

Great reaction to this magical masterpiece song from Nightwish 👍

Troy ❤️❤️❤️

got my nightwish ticket for dezember!

We Were Here. Masterpiece

I believe that Floor’s dress refers to Kalevala (Finnish epic poems). If you want to learn more about Kalevala, Try Amorphis - The Bee ;).

That was deeply satisfying to watch with you guys. 😄👌 Yes, the Wembly version with Mr Dawkins himself is awesome, too, but in the whole composition and quality Tampere equals, in my opinion, to the greatest possible live show recorded of 'The greatest show on earth' itself :) You're welcome to do the Wembley version sometime. We were here. We are here. We'll be here next time too. Cheers! 😁

Yes...definitely watch the entire song and credits..The Dawkins dialogue is part of the story...cheers 🤘

Will say this till the day i hang up the phone, you two and Nightwish are f.ing gold 🤘🇳🇴 all i need if my day is compleat shit are Nightwish reactions staring you guys 🥳

Definitely earned my thumbs-up for actually listening to and understanding Dawkins' parts. People just ignore it in most reactions and it's sad because he add SO MUCH depth to the song. Keep it up my dudes!

WE WERE HERE ❤️

Probably the best review on this masterpiece! Great job boys, Thks so much!

To be specific, Marco co-wrote with Tuomas the segment titled "The toolmaker", which is the section that starts with the growling and then he and Floor take turns on leads. The rest of the song is Tuomas, who's on record commenting that he thinks this is his best work to date (2015)

You are the second reaction channel that noticed the enter sandman riff in the song👍😊 Everybody else just freeze for a second and move on with the reaction 😂 This was a great reaction,make sure you catch them Live when they hit UK. You got yourself a new subscriber Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪👍

Best of all✌️

Great reaction guys! You're certainly correct, this band doesn't get anywhere near the credit and acclaim that they deserve. They're some of the greatest musicians alive right now, and Tuomas is the greatest composer of the past century.

Finally this masterpiece came along :)

This was an amazing concert from start to finish. Yes her dress was meant to be a DNA strand. If you guys could, maybe for Easter, do Marco and Floor singing AVE MARIA!

Guess who is going to Tampere 22/4 2022,and why? Thanks for reacting to Nightwish!

Weak fantasy from tempere should be next :) great reaction.

Thank you so much for this! It's so wonderful watching others react to my favourite music. Even extra special seeing how you guys really appreciated this masterpiece. Thank you!

Just phenomenally epic and incredibly emotional...thanks guys for the reaction, I enjoyed that very much...if you watch it again in your personal time, try and break the lyrics down and you’re have even more respect for the song as it’s an amazing opus that mentions LUCA (last universal common ancestor) and Lucy of the Afar , a fossil found which rewrote the story of humanity. Great channel...hope you go to see them live in the UK..🤘

great reaction thnx....again!

that song you heard in the beginning was Last Ride of The Day

Very glad you guys did this version :) ty Next My Walden, 10th Man Down, Elvenjig+Elvenpath :)

This song's strong 𝘢𝘯𝘥 weak point , is its length. It is a fantastic composition, and couldn't really be any shorter, but how many radio or TV outlets would dedicate 20+ minutes to one song?

Nice, AND THANK YOU, you did whole song :D If you think back, time when you were doing first Nightwish reaction... What you were thinking before you played it? Did you wait anything from it? And then, after first / second reaction, when some of us might say, from here starts a journey... Do you now feel it? That you have been in a journey? :-)

It's just ... brilliant

Magical stuff, and to see you guys really appreciate it and understand it was great - and, nice t-shirt Kev 🤘

Blonde guy, you MUST have roots in Finland? I live in Sweden close to the finnish border and you look soo finnish. Finns are just the best.

WE WERE HERE 🤘🤘

Yes, this song is truly awe inspiring and an epic masterpiece! Thank you for reacting to this 💕

It's always so awesome to see you two discover, and enjoy music that I love so much. Great reaction! Cheers!! 🍻

Like how you pronounce Tampere, greetings from Finland =)

Can't wait to see them this year at Wembley

It actually *is* that much depth to it. It's ment to resemble a DNA helix structure. As long as Toumas is in this band you might as well assume there are no coincidences. Everything is planed on a microscopic level.

The Wembley performance is so different that it is worth a watch in its own right

The last piece of the song at the beginning of this clip was "Last ride of the day". :-)

Great reaction HT, kiitos.

first off.... ive heard avout 20 secs or sol... loooooooooooooooooooooooving it 1111 111!!!!!!! australians mate

Haha noticed the lill' tribute to metallica :P

about the metalica part , in the album version its heard cleaner because before it there is even a part that is ancient music then its bach's toccata and fugue in d minor u heard here too right before a small part with banjo etc and then metalica ... enter sandman basicaly a little revue of evolution of music thrown in

I saw you noticed the 'ENTER SANDMAN' riff at 16.32. A shout-out to one of NIGHTWISH'S idols. (And a big part of musical history)

That other song that cut in at the beginning was the tail end of "Last Ride of the Day."

I watched you for months but never said something. I really want you guys to know that I appreciate all you do and all your videos . Love you guys !!

Someone made a comment that to be the drummer for Nightwish, you needed three hands.

16:35 Yes...that is the riff from Metallica Enter Sandman, a subtle pun to the "single grain of sand" line and the whole sands of time implications in this song. No, you didn't ask, but it was all over your face 🤣 Remember, *nothing* is coincidental with Tuomas Holopainen. [Edit] Ah you both caught it, nicely done.

Hi it steve in uk again glad u got round to reactin to this great song as u no im huge nightwish fan ..sorry mate i dont no ur name the one on the right .bout 4 mins from end u looked surprised and that u new a part of song already .yes u was right was a 5 second guitar bit of enter sandman bt metallica .glad u both liked it .keep up great reviews both of u .

This is a pompose Mammoth of a song. Great execution as always. But do we really need this, I wonder. Maybe or maybe not! It's although one of the best progressive rock songs of all time. Floor wears there colors of our flag: blue and white. The whole evolution in a one song, insane idea! 😵 Great reaction!

The Greatest Show On Earth is actually a book by Richard Dawkins. This amazing story was inspired on that.

Last Ride of the Day was the song finishing at the start of the video. Have a look at Troy and Floor doing Nemo acoustic! (Planet Rock session)!! 16:33 "Enter Sandman" tribute!

Be open minded with NW. Take a look at lyrics beforehand 👌 All the best from 🇫🇮 Land of Metal 😂🤣

Not sure if anyone has commented but this is just about the 4.5 billion years of Earths forming and evolution so the fireworks represents the asteroid bombardment in the early stages of Earths existence.

I would watch if you want to react to the Wembley version!

Yes, it was Enter sandman

There's a song called the Carpenter, sung by Troy and Floor........originally sung by Thuomas but the new version ( live) is much better. Oh yeah, we were here..... On you tube. 🤭

The dress is indeed inspired by the double helix. Easier to get that info for a native dutchman as she explained in an interview/tvshow in Dutch, if my memory is correct.

The big bang

🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘

❤🤘
