Why is Grace not wearing her Aviators!? Isn't that unsafe for flying at such funky altitudes?
She's a fearless flyer. :-P
didn't you see those Bari* White sexy eyes going on?
So we could get that eyebrow action at 0:22
Sometimes you got to let your funky flag fly.
Did someone said funktitude?
I love the vulf tradition of naming their musicians after songs
Haha true but u do realize this is an Elton John song right?
@@Jason-pd1nr of course :p
Joking cause of their track "cory wong"
Jason r/woosh
Jason woooooooosh
Jason you need binoculars just to see how far that joke flew over your head
Grace's face whenever she's not playing just says it all
Best part of the (already great) video when I noticed that, honestly.
A What 's the relation between races and being groovy, are you a racist?
@A you're the one that looks ridiculous
@A Pretending? She owns it. Get lost!
@A And most conspicuous racism of year award goes to.....
I come for the music but I stay for the cable management.
Wow I can’t believe that the FF got Elton John to compose a song for them
I can’t believe Elton John got the opportunity to compose a song for FF
@@fabiancanedo the Vulf comment section is almost always 100% serious
@@timtheenchanter3563 can confirm
Some parts its like 'sick love' - elton john and Rhcp song
@@TheZguitarboy67 bro srsly
Finally, a bass line that I can play.
Nate Smith, again proving his title as the undisputed king of crash-choke-crash.
Underrated tech
The secret to cymbals:
Your smallest crash should be bigger than your largest tom.
Roger Taylor walked so he could run, in that regard, I would say
Crashing on beat 2 does things to my gentleman parts.
Underrated pocket and right foot.
Grace smiling and grooving to Kenni’s solo cured my covid-19.
@Nixon E I'd say it was sick enough
It's just weird seeing her play the big sax instead of the small sax. I guess I've seen too many videos of her playing with Leo P.
3:09 is Prime Stank
Woody better watch his back. This Elton guy really sounds like he can compose.
Up until reading this comment it never occurred to me that Elton John is probably an influence for Woody's keyboard parts
Though really if anyone is doing an Elton John thing it's Joey Dosik
Aidan Xavier Elton John literally composed this
@@theprovoloneman281 he's not talking about the song, he's talking about woody's keyboard influences
You can't play funk piano and not be influenced by Elton John.
Love how the cymbal crash shook the whole camera
Luke Leone i read this comment and looked up right when it happened.
Yes! Watch it again, at the 1:10 !
They bamboozle us with some *unexpected* cool effects!
Kind of a less is more thing
subtle things just hit different
It's so satisfying!
The sound engineers don’t get nearly enough love, this band sounds so gd crispy, good stuff microphone men
The saxes are very well mic’d
Microphone men 😂😂😂
Vulf kompressor
perfection
Okay someone is making sure Elton John sees this, right? What a brilliant cover.
It’s been said before but cannot be said enough. Nate Smith’s crash on 2 is my religion.
Came for the outro, stayed for the whole thing
😂😂 actually
How does that work?
@@vadim4252I think it’s just some kind of inversion of the joke “came for x, stayed for y”
Love the multi-sax chord on "heard it in a mag-a-ZZINE!!" 🏄🏄🏄
I see Elton John can ghostwrite tunes for funk bands, in addition to owning a football club. What a talent.
He is/was owner of Watford Football Club in England. Even has a grandstand named after him at their home ground
@kmden Rt (it's also a cover of one of his songs, Bennie and the Jets)
sirrrrr Elton John
that is the sound of a perfectly recorded crash cymbal
Crispy, splashy goodness
I would pay good money for the sample pack from these guys, just saying...
Even if you got Joe Dart to play a song at 40bpm, his head nods would still be as violent.
Yeah more head bobbing than notes played
If you pay attention, it's an inverse relationship. The fewer notes he plays, the more he headbobs
@@HimanXK nature abhors a vacuum
@@briansmith3164 ahhh what a comment.
Most pros use some physical method to keep precise time. Some tap their feet, my drum teacher swishes spit through his teeth, and Joe and I do the diseased woodpecker, which unfortunately looks even goofier on the drums.
heavy quarter note feel on the Vulf/Charles Jones “Baby I Don’t Know” always reminded me of this song.
FF giving me so much life today
check out jealous guy by donny hathaway
One of my favorites, Charles Jones on baby I don’t. Crank it up every time and usually don’t open my eyes till it’s over
Coming back here to say I’ll never unhear this comparison
I love how much everyone smiles when Kenni is playing
He is always such a joy to watch and if you haven't seen it already, go check out "Live From MLPS" on Cory Wong's channel. It''s a full concert recording and it's amazing! Kenni, and the rest of the Hornheads, is a beast and he even breaks out a Piccolo to taunt Cory right in his face which was hilarious and awesome.
He's incredible with that medium sax
"how to cover appropriately and still include your own remarkable sound"
nailed it
The baritone guitar part that Mark Lettieri is playing is so subtle and perfect that it sends me
As soon as Grace Kelly hit us with the bari sax I felt it *in my everything*
Didn’t think it was possible for Dart to play that slow - was waiting for him to explode
You could sublet the space between the kick and snare
$1500 dollars a month on a Craigslist ad
The groove was so strong she had to take off her shades
I vividly remember Grace Kelly coming to my high school and listening to her play and getting advice from her! It was honestly amazing! Soo cool to see her with one of my favorite bands!!!
I never knew that all I needed in life was a nice solo from Grace Kelly. I guess my life is complete now??????
I will never not be in love with the trading sax melody
I can't stop coming back to this one.
WHEN I SAW THIS WAS GONNA GET RELEASED FROM THE VULFPACK I THOUGHT IT WAS A MEME POST. I guess I can survive an extra day again.
2:01 - i love how Grace reacts to Kenni's solo
I love this style lmao - the outfits, the aviators, the film grain, and all captured in one shot; so funky
This speaks so loud without a single word
Nice of you guys to pause from your work at painting buildings to play a song for us!
When I get that feeling,
I want saxual healing
Grace's reaction throughout the whole song is how I feel I look watching the video
There is nothing better in the world right now than The fearless Flyers. Nothing!
The fearless flyers... the saviors of our country via the sonic landscape they allow is to partake in.
What a lineup of musicians!
Play at 2x speed to hear the grooviest game show theme every
ADORATION. Dude seriously I'm recovering from surgery right now and this is exactly what I needed to stay positive.
Get well soon bud.
wishing u a speedy recovery
I swear, I never thought the bari had potential as a solo instrument until this song. Groove so hard!
Check out Squib Cakes by Tower of Power. 🎷
Vulfpeck: posts a video
Me: immediately heads to the comment section
1:12 love that crash effect
I swear it brings so much joy watching people really groove with music
Well, I wasn't expecting to get pregnant this morning, but here we are. I shall name him Kenni Vulf Damon.
what?
@@noahmay7708 joke
/jōk/
noun
a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
Congrats
@@jwaj thank you! I can't believe here we are and little Kenni Vulf Damon is already a month old and learning his first bass lines on his signature Joe Dart Jr bass. I'm so proud of him ☺️
@@fattdamon5342 But is he versatile?
Grace is so enjoyable to watch! She really enjoys this!!!
She loves her job.
Grace’s face just makes me smile- for that, I thank you, Grace. God only knows I/we can use all of the smiling, love, laughter, etc. during these crazy days in this mad, mad world in which we live. Peace & Love, Whit
Now THIS is the Grace Kelly Big Sax I needed in my life
Stellar horn section and arrangement. The harmonies.......
Happiness is seeing Grace smiling while listening to others playing
Damn that tenor sax has some seriously nice tone.
It's the player.
Love Grace's bari sound and phrasing and her expressions!!!
I can’t watch these videos without a smile on my face.
I grin like an idiot through every single one.
Grace Kelly is so underrated. Such an incredible musician with such a huge sound🥴😩
Fearless flyers have kept me going the past few months
When the alto solo is played by the tenor. Love it.
ANOTHER PERSON NAMED AFTER A VULFPECK SONG?!! THIS IS THE REAL EPIDEMIC!
Can't wait for them to add more and more sections later, for them to become a full symphonic funk orchestra.
Grace’s face just makes me smile- for that, I thank you, Grace. God only knows I/we can use all of the smiling, love, laughter, etc. during these crazy days in this mad, mad world in which we live.
If the saxophones where on the same stands as the guitars you could have "Grace, plays gracefully, on a Gracie"
My absolute favorite song of all time as a Vulf cover. My life is absolutely complete
SO DAMN GOOD!!!!
Fantastic work!
HOW DO I ONLY FIND OUT ABOUT THIS NOW
Don't mind me, just here for my monthly rewatch of this absolute banger
Standing ovation!!! Bravo my friends!
Man that guy in the midrange sax just kills it!
That would be the titular Kenni
My guy just called a tenor sax a "midrange sax" 😭
@@bruhmomenthdr7575 Music police. Hope you feel better now.
@@johnnywlittle No one calls it "midrange", that's just you bro
@@bruhmomenthdr7575 Guess you’re the authority
It's like butter melting on a freshly baked top notch bread
This made me cry tears of joy and appreciation for life
めちゃくちゃタイトやんけ(tight af man)
thank me later for translating when you watch Vulfpeck's tweet.
also huge love from Japan! hope you guys stay healthy and sound!
The horn arrangements are so good man
Grooved so hard I broke my chair
can we be honest, that is the best intro to a song yet?
2:39 - yup! we're loving it too Grace!
Absolutely stunning.😘🥁🌻
I am in fact, in love with Grace Kelly
Those last 20 seconds are gold
RESPECT to Michael Nelson on a dynamically funky and not intrusive horn arrangement! fee kin dyn O mite!
Good Lord, that drummer is a machine!
As someone named Kenny who heard this line all the time growing up, I appreciate the song title lol
The best part of 2020 so far are all these Fearless Flyers videos, HANDS DOWN
Very nice job by Michael Nelson arranging the horns. If you know the lyric, you can really hear them in the saxophone sound.
My favorite Elton John song tastefully funkified by the masters in action!!! That tenor sax solo is saxy.
Wonderful horn arrangement! Love the harmony!
There’s enough space between that kick and snare to house a family of four!!!!!!!!!!!
PLAY DAMNIT! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ayy, more Fearless Flyers!
This is brilliant guys!
That boy KENNI HOLMEN is COLD 🥶
this is so so so so so so so so so good
i can't
Flows like melted butter - and just as tasty!
This is all I ever wanted. Thanks
It’s things like this that make me know I’ll be able to get through a pandemic, murder hornets, flying snakes, return of dinosaurs, or whatever else 2020 throws at us!
Who gives a thumbs down within the first 8 minutes?!? Hell, who even gives a thumbs down to the The Fearless Flyers?
Someone who didn't earn their wings yet...
Wow. This is what the internet needed and it didn't even know iiiiiiit
I LOVE THIS
I swear, I don't care what anyone says, this is better than the original by a mile. The only thing that would make it better would be if Sir Elton was playing with this band.
Huu - you got soul, fire and even da fonk, great (big) performance - thanx to you all & grz from Germany!
