agreed. its hard to say its thats not an overstatement. But that album really caught a lot of peoples attention to the benefit of LL and SP and in part its due to the energy he brought. Dude is a powerhouse
@@toughlikerocks Yeah you can see them reaction and listening to each other and built the song together... And the rest of the band was talented enough to keep up and go with it. Pure magic!!
God.. Imagine getting a round of applause from your immediate peers, fellow musicians of high caliber applauding your talent and you still have the humility to get embarrassed from said applause.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE performance by the entire group. To be able to have such complete UNISON with sooooo many team members. Speaks volumes about leadership. Commitment. Hard work. TEAM WORK.
I love Michael’s optimism in those times when things feel tense like they are gonna go to shit then they all work out as long as we have fun. Larnell said the same thing, as long we have fun doing it, it’ll all be okay haha
OR you can go back in time and start playing drums as a child and practice 8 hours a day for like 15 years lmao dont feel bad Edit: he started playing drums at age 2 lmao Edit 2: man is 37 been playing the drums for 35 years 😭
@@tconnollymusic this is old but... there is more, not only did he learn the songs (which isn't really correct. He learned the key changes and chorus and whatnot since the songs were horribly incomplete) on a 7 hr. flight but he didn't start playing (practicing) until the day of the recording when he got there 2 HOUR LATE. That is improv in a box.
@@qazwsxbjioknmlp8046 sure I have. I even went all the way to Rotterdam (from Berlin) to see it live. It's good, but nowhere near as explorative as We Like It Here.
Man I had the pleasure of opening for Snarky Puppy not 1 2 but 3 TIMES with my old band Sassafraz! One of the other drummers broke all my drummers drum heads. Never got to see Larnell live (which he is my favorite) but DAMN Snarky is dope.
I don't have international credit card, and if I had, it wouldn't have money on it. This should be for rent on TH-cam or any online service by demand, not DVD. Nobody has a DVD anymore!

Wonder how long it took Steve to learn 'Aja'; Larnell learned most of the songs on 'We Like it Here' on the flight to the studio. The Snarky guys had been rehearsing for a week. Larnell had two hours with the band before tape was rolling...
@@markprater1 Steve "learned" it during the recording. He was recording in another room for someone else. Becker and Fagen heard he was tracking in the same building, went over and talked him into recording a song (it's the only one he ever did for Steely Dan). They had some sketches of the charts and asked him if he wanted to hear what they had recorded already, and he said no, just roll and I'll figure it out. The legend is that it's the first take.
All the musicians here are G. They were just missing Larnell, one of the greatest drummers in the world, IMO, and certainly the fastest study of a drum piece in the world. The cat burns tracks in his head like it's no one's business.
Is there a full version available somewhere of What About Me from the night/set in this clip? It's just a snippet but it sounds insane and made me thirsty for a full version!
@@snieznybalwan wow i hadnt even noticed the clips in that hourlong version are from different sets. Lets say i was too swept away by the music.. hahah. Sorry to not be of help !
Unfortunately no, this is the only clip from the documentary. I'm sure you've also noticed all the bootleg live versions of this song on YT, and many of them are also very good (and fast like this version).
Everytime I watch this, I wonder about the drummer that wasn't good enough. Like...he had to obviously be an elite drummer to be playing with Snarky Puppy...but did Larnell ruin the dude's career in the same fashion that Vince ruined that French dude's career in that Olympics dunk?
it wasn't that he was not good enough. There were problems with his VISA and this is in the Netherlands. So he wasn't able to go. They called Lewis with 24 hrs. on the clock and he did the job.
Interestingly the dual snare set up with the low tuned 'wet' snare where the floor tom usually goes is something Larnell picked up from Sput. Sput still pioneered most of the grooves that ended up on the album he just wasn't the one to play on the day. There's no denying Larnell brought a magical energy and creativity to the tunes. Sput's career certainly hasn't ended. He went on to play on multiple additional Snarky Puppy albums and tours, has his own band Ghost Note (check them out) directed/arranged/composed the bulk of the Zildjian Live performances, and most recently is now the touring drummer for Toto.

lol, Shaun Martin tipping Larnell... he's such a funny dude
He's hilarious, caught him flossing when I saw them live
That was classic! Looked like he put an offering in the collection plate at church!
Shaun is sickly talented as well!
shaun martin was hilarious throughout. during corey henry's solo he takes his headset off, gets up and joins the audience. hahaha.
In West African Tradition putting or giving "Small Money" on a player instrument is a show of respect for a moving and inspiring performance.
What Larnell does on this record should not be humanly possible
It's like he has another hand and foot.
It should be easy if you start learning at 2 years old 😂😂😂
Larnell MAKES that record. Unbelievable.
agreed. its hard to say its thats not an overstatement. But that album really caught a lot of peoples attention to the benefit of LL and SP and in part its due to the energy he brought. Dude is a powerhouse
No doubt.
It's insane, just plain insane how good Larnell was in this.
Which is really saying something since the whole record is more or less full of standout musicians. But Larnell is just on another level
Larnell was the fire behind one of the greatest synth solos ever recorded. "Lingus" featuring Cory Henry.
I agree! I think that Corey was so inspired by Larnell's mastery of the song that he instinctively went to another level...
The interplay between the two of them on that song is just otherworldly.
@@toughlikerocks Yeah you can see them reaction and listening to each other and built the song together... And the rest of the band was talented enough to keep up and go with it. Pure magic!!
THIS!
Absolutely correct.
Shaun walked over with that money like a Deacon on the church trustee board lol
And just like that, you unlocked my childhood church memories 😭
I love Shaun's reactions. Such a generous human being (in terms of compliments to fellow musicians)
God.. Imagine getting a round of applause from your immediate peers, fellow musicians of high caliber applauding your talent and you still have the humility to get embarrassed from said applause.
Larnell is INCREDIBLE ON THESE TRACKS. He LITERALLY never misses a beat and barely breaks a swear. He’s A BEAST
Oh no. He's a sweaty, sweaty man. :D
Colin May Lol. Ok. Well. The rest is true.
Amazing yes, sweaty yes
“Figuratively”
The guy literally plays with 1 hand for a second while he adjusts his headphones and still keeps it tight
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE performance by the entire group. To be able to have such complete UNISON with sooooo many team members. Speaks volumes about leadership. Commitment. Hard work. TEAM WORK.
And the sound engineers. That's one hell of a mix.
I love Michael’s optimism in those times when things feel tense like they are gonna go to shit then they all work out as long as we have fun. Larnell said the same thing, as long we have fun doing it, it’ll all be okay haha
To me this was just so essential to the albums success. Hearing Mike talk about the unpredictability is just incredible. Brave Larnell.
Larnell Lewis learned the set two hours before playing it? ..... Apparently I should give up on being a drummer lol.
He actually listened to and learned the songs on the 8 hour flight over. Check Drumeos channel for a video of him explaining it
OR you can go back in time and start playing drums as a child and practice 8 hours a day for like 15 years lmao dont feel bad
Edit: he started playing drums at age 2 lmao

He earned that $2.
It was 15 €
If it wasn't recorded no one would believe it. Such an incredible turn out!
Larnell Lewis is a LEGEND. We Like It Here simply would not have been the same without him.
In my opinion his best performance and one of the best I ever saw
0:09, and low and behold it became arguably their best record.
It was just downhill from there, but I'm so glad they made it to that record. The best out there

Larnell is a fucking legend being able to pull off such a thing. Kudos
i love this man at the first time i saw he play, i swear!
So many years and still getting the chills
Gives credence to the saying “you’re only as good as your drummer”.
Larnell is the dream drummer
great music. These guys are awesome 👏🏾
He learned that set in two hours!?
No wonder he pulled off Enter Sandman after one listen xD
That was a cool segment. Thanks for the post.
Larnell is the baddest dude on the planet.
Absolutely LEGEND!
How blessed are we that that album is all on film?
i love Larnell so much
I started learning the drums and hope to be like Larnell some day.
So amazing.
I think Shaun just gave Larnell his jazz nickname. Larnell "Money" Lewis.
Thanks for sharing mate
"It turns out these tunes are really cool, We just didn't have a really essential part of the band" That line just cracked me up.
Love you LARNELL!!!
That's amazing !
Larnell Lewis .... GOAT
0:39 where he just smashes his hand in the hi-hat while hitting both crash cymbals, wow
I had to watch it at half speed to actually see it! Great catch!! Larnell is out of this world!!
Wow!! To me he came WAY too close to impaling his hand on the hi-hat rod!
Legendary
Larnell Lewis is to 'Lingus' as Steve Gadd was to 'Aja'
Perfect comment. You know your music!🤘
Bold. But yes
Great comparison!

That's because Larnell is a superb drummer and musician. oh yeah
Super Larnell.

Yes Larnell TDot stand up!!!
the pride of Humber!
I'm not even from the TDot and I'm proud!
You’re so good that your own bandmates tip you.

Lmaoooo they tipped the man
Ah, now I gotta go listen to lingus again
Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?
Holy FUCK that is so unbelievably fast...

Is there more to this?

That excerpt is from the We like it here DVD.
what is this from?
What dvd or video is this off of?
Where is this dvd at
Is this recorded via a TV speaker through a phone?
can anyone tell me what song the clip at 0:24 is??
What’s that song they’re playing in this video?
god imagine how sput must have felt. snarky was larnell's after this
Are you fucking kidding me... omg the level.. is it how level 999 feels like IRL ?
I guess so ! :O
What is this from?
Is there a full video of him doing this?
i mean the enitre album is on youtube all with video...his top drumming songs would be Outlier, What about Me?, and Lingus
Where is this from?
I just want to know what happened to sput that got them in this predicament lol
It was an issue with his passport...
@@markprater1 I believe it had something to do with a US gov shut down. That is the story that I heard from someone in the band.

I'm curious of what happened to Sput. Why couldn't he make it to the recording?
When he went to travel to Europe with the band for the recording, he discovered his passport had expired.
Mike Wawro oooo that must’ve hurt
what's the first song here?
What about me
why is the audio so bad
Larnell is cheating. He has a third hand that plays so fast that only he can see it.
Larnell is great but I legit think this is Chappelle doing Tyrone Biggums every time I see the still image for this video.
2:25 Musicians of this caliber can't play anything "horrific." Who are you tryna fool?!
