I think Chris and Edgar are both bat shit crazy brilliant I usually fall asleep listening to them while my husband is in ICU. Thank you for the music it soothes me
this is what you get if you search realy really hard to find good music...amazing stuff...its beyond bluegrass/jazz/country/Irish or anything you care to mention..............fab
On the surface, this could be any two of thousands of mandolin and bass players--but the technical perfection and expressiveness show that here are two of the best players in the world. Beautifully done!
This vid is incredibly impressive. Not a single thing to critique. Cudos to filming/audio crew's capture on this too! It is SO nice to see how Edgar is aging too, it's like seeing an old friend after many years!
Are there any more videos in this setting?? I love when Chris and Edgar go duo. Best of both high and low ranges. Plus a truly gorgeous setting. They surely had to have recorded more than one song...
+Rescued & Reconciled absolutely! I love the album, I was just wondering about video, because this is exceptional. The album is fantastic though. Chris and Edgar are both so delicate yet vigorously passionate.
+Rescued & Reconciled I guess it gives reason to the name "Why Only One?" haha. I would think they brought all the equipment out, and have it set up - why not record a couple tunes in this incredible setting? I love it, just want more! Haha
At 1:52 Meyer picks the E string with his left hand, at the same time as he starts the bow stroke, to make sure the sound comes immediately. Very interesting!
Great music. Well recorded, lot's of passion. I think this is a wonderful recording. Too much camera movement to watch. I had turn off the monitor to enjoy it. Thank you very much for uploading this.
Wonderful music nice audio recording and camerawork. But did the filmmaker forget to color correct their footage? Might as well have just done it in B&W.

Musicians that are clearly outstanding in their field (of music). Sorry, I couldn't resist.
But, how do we know that it's their field?
OH MY GOD :D you win!!
That should read "Who are clearly, out, standing in their field." Ha, ha! ;b
If you didn't say this, I was going to.
Mountainous, monumental talents!
I was really lucky to see one of Edgar Meyers concerts AND meet him backstage
One of the best bassists alive, that solo 3 minutes in was so killer
IKR, the solo was insane!!
I’ve been listening to Meyer at least 40 years. He never disappoints.

I love music, but it rarely moves me. That being said I don't even know where I am now it moved me so much.
You're an enigma
This is my most favorite Chris Thile film, ever. I find I keeping coming back to this performance, a Bluegrass Situation jem.
Heavenly, mountain music. Phenomenal.
My wife and I just witnessed a flawless performance of this piece and many others by this amazing duo at the Chicago symphony center!
Two masters at work.
Can you imagine if we had video of Socrates teaching a class. That is the blessing bestowed on us by these two.
Thank you.
I didn't know Socrates was in a bluegrass band...
+Jason Baldwin He wasn't, actually not many people know that but he was a Greek philosopher.
Nickel Greek
Yeah👍
Yeah, like the Feynman Lectures
The ENERGY is remarkable powerful bursts of passion for music. This is powerful hypnotic and has a message.
Am I the only one who watch this every single day?
chirs is an absolute madman! what an amazing style of playing.
Two of the greatest in the world, together. Thank you. Lord, for this. I saw them together in concert playing this - best concert I've ever seen.
One of the greatest music videos I've ever seen. Wish there was more like this! Brings me back to my childhood at Strawberry music festival :(
Meyer makes think of an older Mark Rufalo. The Hulk on the double bass! haha! I love those guys, love this channel.
Chris Thile's Mandolin playing is incredible... But watching Edgar Meyer play Double Bass is something else.
Look at that scenic view. Wow!
Two legends performing in an amazing location--love it!
that's about as raw as it gets and a perfect setting
best recording studio in the world!
Outstanding in their field!
I discovered this song years ago and I still love it to this day,it takes me to a place far away...thank you Chris and Edger for this master piece
The land scape reminds me of, when as a child we used to visit my grandmother who lived quite near Glenfinnan in scotland
Daaaaamn. That was so awesome in so many ways.
One of the most honest and organic videos such a great tone and feel. The simple melody is superb!!
The synchrony they have and the dynamic they posses is amazing
I love this one, it's so beautiful I always imagine hiking while listening to it.
3:19 My new favorite fretless Bass trick. Thanks !!!! WOW !!!!!
My two favorite instruments. The bass and the mandolin.
Great playing, of course, but I have to commend the camera work and audio quality, too. Very well done!
That would be Mason Jar Music. They're good.
The choice of environment was also acoustically ideal.
Meyer's solo at 3:01 is so soulful! This tune has been in my head--along with most of the tunes, really--since I received the new album. Bravo! :D
Very nice guys! Thank you for the passion...
What the actual ???? - this is some amazing talent - first picked up on Chris Thile through his collaboration with Brad Mehldau.
Bit of a strange thing to comment on but I love Edgar Meyer's dress sense. Ultimate old-school dad outfits and they look great on him.
Your best friends dad and she never knew why you were always over there. ❤😊 He was just that kool musician dad all the kids just loved.
Amazing performance and amazing production. I really hope there is going to be more of these.
I find this very inspiring. Beautiful.
what is there really, to Dislike about this? Way to go guys. Bringing a lovely fun slant to this. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Again, I say, brilliant!
God I love your music Chris!
I never get tired of this
So fluid. Great sound engineering, too. In an open field? Am I imagining this?
Beautiful!
Two amazing musicians! Superb scenery!
This is just beyond amazing
Excellent in a very unique kinda way.
Thanx
Wish I was there in that field listening to that music. ⛺🎶
Amazing song and video. Wow.
Brilliant!
my uncles played bluegrass ; this is jazz - of the best kind
What a setting!
Fantastic! Great stuff.
I must go to Telluride, CO.
This vid is incredibly impressive. Not a single thing to critique. Cudos to filming/audio crew's capture on this too! It is SO nice to see how Edgar is aging too, it's like seeing an old friend after many years!
Superb!!

+Josh Elmore they have an album together Bass & Mandolin
+Rescued & Reconciled absolutely! I love the album, I was just wondering about video, because this is exceptional. The album is fantastic though. Chris and Edgar are both so delicate yet vigorously passionate.
+Josh Elmore well said. I wish I new the answer too....
that is a cool setting
+Rescued & Reconciled I guess it gives reason to the name "Why Only One?" haha. I would think they brought all the equipment out, and have it set up - why not record a couple tunes in this incredible setting? I love it, just want more! Haha
+Josh Elmore I was laughing about that with the name too :D
Nice! I enjoyed this.
unreal talent omg
At 1:52 Meyer picks the E string with his left hand, at the same time as he starts the bow stroke, to make sure the sound comes immediately. Very interesting!
As good as it gets!
I wish I could like it twice.
I love it.
Awesome.
How the hell did they get that sound quality? You'd think that recording outside in an empty field would give you nothing but wind interference
Mat Grinnell no shotgun mics. what you see is what you hear.
A good tune is second to none! ;-)
Edgar Meyer você é perfeito
Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful!! :)
Love the backdrop...
very good!!!! ad maiora!!!!!
Anyone know where I could purchase sheet music for the mandolin to this tune? Transcribing it would be a beast! Thanks!
No doubt, blah!
+dennis roberts "brah"
Thats on point im savin itin a jar
The Bluegrass Situation Would love to know what kind of sound equipment you are using for those outdoor videos.
Love it
Looks like old Robert Redford film footage.
Sounds killer !
A bit of Jeremiah Johnson - would love to hear these guys' take on the soundtrack to that
I feel like this could have been a scene in A River Runs Through It.
Green and Grey is my favorite Nickle Creek song.
haha I just love Chris's face my orchestra teacher showed us this song just so u a know I'm a bass player ;^} ♡ ☆
The fact he just starts another bpm and slides right back into the previous one is very interesting.
Perfection
Omma go off
Honour your heavenly father
I really love this but where are the mics plugged into?! Must be one hell of an extension lead.
Thanks god for stuff like this.... What a fuckin' wonderwonderwonderfull world
WOW MY GOODNESS
Great music. Well recorded, lot's of passion. I think this is a wonderful recording. Too much camera movement to watch. I had turn off the monitor to enjoy it. Thank you very much for uploading this.
Anybody knows where is the location??
Wonderful music nice audio recording and camerawork. But did the filmmaker forget to color correct their footage? Might as well have just done it in B&W.
Under-saturated is hip.
I kind of love the color treatment.
Happy president day from holston vally high school 1956 4:02
Gorgeous
How was this recorded? How did you get power for the mics outside?
There are special multitrack HD field recorders, with batteries that will last for at least 4 hours. They are also widely used for film recording.
Lots of snow there.
I want that bass.....
Someone should hire them for a movie soundtrack
Wow wow wow.
Since when did deere make fly wheels plastic 1:29 althought the aluminum casing is sexy 1:59
What art it minday
As good as it gets
