I swear to god I fucking saw this song live last year, and I cried like a little girl because I felt like the luckiest motherfucker ever. Best night ever.
I actually like this better than the studio version, I've always thought it was overproduced. The song itself, well, it might well be their masterpiece.
So the judgement's been made We're condemned though the trial's far ahead The crack of doom Father Your handsome son is heading home Heading home Still the wind blows Calm and silent Carries news from a distant shore Out of mind Can't get it Can't get it Out of my head Sorrow And defeat
while i love blind guardian and this song is awesome and they sound amazing live, i must say, i have been a bit spoiled by the album version. the problem is that they made such an intricate song that the four of them alone couldn't possibly do it full justice. it'd be like one man trying to play an entire symphony live. it won't work out. though they are still amazing enough to be able to pull it off as well as they did. it's amazing live, but not nearly as amazing as how it originally was
Blind Guardian are one of a very small handfull of bands who manage to craft a live performance that truely and completely engulfs those experiencing it. I mean, how many other bands get crowd reactions like they do? And to even attempt a song as massive as this LIVE, and to do it successfully, is a feat few other bands would match. They played in South Africa in 2008 (AGAIN something few metal bands can say!!!) and performed this song...it was truely an incredible experience.
@aGWARslave He is on stage and this is one of the hardest songs to do for 14 mins under a massive stage light and he has been doing several other songs before this.
i had seen metallica ac dc pink floyd and all other big band,,,,,,,but i sav blind guardian in stockholm,,,,,,it tock my breath away they rules+++++++
He actually did a live of it? Doesnt has the double tracking of studio but still, awesome. Too bad he missed last lyric: "The crack of doom, Father; Your handsome son is heading hooome!!!"
Wow, this is fantastic, the video has a fantastic quality, and also checked your channel and you really support Blind Guardian, I also do it, so thanks xD
