OH MY GOSH. i JUST figured out that this was written by Bela Fleck. for years, i've heard the mallet ensemble.. woooow. wow a lot of hat he plays is turned into percussion ensemble. just today i took Sinister Minister to competition... and last year i played the Stomping Grounds arrangement.
last year my junior high played metric lips (I got marimba 1 😁), and this year my high school played big country. He has so much great music that has been turned into percussion ensembles.
NGR are like what would happen if a '70s prog rock band got stranded in the country. "Dude, someone stole all our instruments and now we have only bluegrass stuff! What do we do?" "...We rock."
Incredible musicians and incredible band. I saw them live at the Smoot Theater in Parkersburg, and it was filled to capacity. People were crawling out of the woodwork. These guys made some great music together ... check out their greatest hits CD. You'll love it!
Ok, Bluegrass isn't my thing but WOW! I heard Sail to Australia this morning on Pig Radio and these guys immediately caught my attention. WOW! Of course, now I'm into Bluegrass since I found these guys.
A piggie!!!107.5 F.M.Freedom California.....R.I.P. Laura...The offspring of legendary KFAT 97.5 from Gilroy Ca.....I'm in Santa Cruz Ca. Are you listening on the interwebs?....REAL RADIO for REAL PEOPLE.....
Is there an arrangement just for viberaphones, or are you talking about the keyboard ensemble? My school played the ensemble with vibes and marimbas last year, so im just wondering if there is one with only vibraphone?
this is so awesome. im playing the keyboard version of this for a concert tomorrow and i wish it sounded half as awesome as this. it just sounds better on strings.
I first heard New Grass back in '83 at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Fantastic place to listen to bluegrass. You should check it out. Well worth it. Bring your clogging shoes.
Besides Bela Fleck's stuff, anyone have suggestions for other bands like this? The only other bluegrass band I know is Yonder Mountain String Band. Really dig their first few albums before they went electric. Always been a metal/rock guy, so find this stuff fascinating
Old NGR RUUUUUULES!!!!!!!! I'm trying to think of the last time I heard anything close to this, and the only thing that comes to mind is a set I heard outdoors at the Paolo Soleri Amphitheatre near Santa Fe, New Mexico on a warm summer night back in 1990 . The band was Strength in Numbers. Not coincidentally, two of these guys were on stage.
This is incredible. This is like, a soundtrack for a season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that takes place in Appalachia. Which I now also want to watch lmao
@ReaperX3ro sounds like this can be a great movie... i can see it right now. 4 guys playing a rockband, getting nowhere because their sound like everyone else.... then ONE DAY, a stranger let them hitch a ride but instead, robs them and leave them out on the country road, no money, no music! they found an abandoned house with... and so on!
You do know that Bela wrote it and this band created the piece, right? i.e., without their original version of this masterpiece, there is no mallet percussion arrangement.
Thats the rock and roll, and blues in them ,can't be helped, its part of the whole New Grass Revival image that started way back in early 70s before Pat or Bella !
The melody is quite clear. Perhaps your comment says more about your ear than their playing. It OK if you don't like though. I think that Pink Floyd is quite brilliant, but I can't stand listening to them.
I don't know, really. As a musician, I can tell that everything about Pink Floyd's music is excellent, but there is something about it that makes me uncomfortable. It just doesn't connect with me on an emotional level.

Dixie Dregs
I always heard Pat Flynn was a LAWYER!no other LAWYER can play like him! They each one are DYNAMIC!
Best musicians on earth! Dang Oat Flynn is best acoustic guitar player in the world!
One of THE BEST BANDS OF ALL TIME!!!!
Pure musicianship at its finest. What amazing talent and amazing music.
Incredible musicians! this is just as revolutionary as the Flecktones!
These dude's were our favorite for many years.. keep going boys...
Still one of my favorites
my god ive just stumbled across this band, theyre great!
Incredible musicians and incredible band. I saw them live at the Smoot Theater in Parkersburg, and it was filled to capacity. People were crawling out of the woodwork. These guys made some great music together ... check out their greatest hits CD. You'll love it!
Incredible musicians. Looks like John Cowan was the first to introduce lots of hairspray to the bluegrass world. :)
This is truly gifted
Acoustic guitar is great in this, I love this tune.
Pure music. Nothing Else.
I instantly fell in love with this band and then I find out that thats Bela Fleck! Holy shit I love them even more now!

Are you listening on the interwebs?....REAL RADIO for REAL PEOPLE.....
@@randyelliott9152 Another piggie, here! I'm not far, in Morgan Hill.
Bela Fleck, the Zen Master of the banjo...
One of my favorite new grass revival tunes. It like 12 tunes in one. Thanks for the memories. Ditto to what musicians WOW!!!!
This is so amazing! Let’s not forget about the vibraphone arrangement
Is there an arrangement just for viberaphones, or are you talking about the keyboard ensemble? My school played the ensemble with vibes and marimbas last year, so im just wondering if there is one with only vibraphone?
If I had a choice of only ten musical tracks. This would be a give in. Of all Bands.
I LOVE IT!
this is so awesome. im playing the keyboard version of this for a concert tomorrow and i wish it sounded half as awesome as this. it just sounds better on strings.
me too!! its so awesome were going to state with it
I first heard New Grass back in '83 at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Fantastic place to listen to bluegrass. You should check it out. Well worth it. Bring your clogging shoes.
I believe this is the highest it will ever go.
Great bluegrass band in the history of the genre.
best music i ever heard
I can understand that, their music does strike me on a personal level.
Ahh, man. Nashville Now. Talk about great memories. I wish I could get
copies of the classic shows from TNN.
I wish I were this awesome.
And on the seventh day ... Bela Fleck rested.
Pat Flynn is such a monster
I almost got caught speeding many times listening to this :)
Viva la Mullet!!!! I played this song for percussion ensemble YEARS ago! Awesome!
I just played the xylophone part in a ensemble and got a 1
Such a good song
i worked so har to learn this song as a mallet ensemble
Gotta love the hair on the middle two
Thanks for all the Bela Fleck/New Grass Revival tunes! They're great!
Oh wow...
This makes me happy.
Im killing the replay button
Bele Fleck rules
Holy shit! they make it look so easy too.
Some percussionists and I are going to play this for our mallet ensemble. I wish it sounded as cool as this, but most of it is in the music.
Nice 👌
Besides Bela Fleck's stuff, anyone have suggestions for other bands like this? The only other bluegrass band I know is Yonder Mountain String Band. Really dig their first few albums before they went electric.
Always been a metal/rock guy, so find this stuff fascinating
stupendo!!!!

i am playing this for percussion ensemble... its soooooo fun. i have the xylophone part
Lmao, it's still going 11 years later. Performing at solo ensemble festival with bass marimba part :D
The Rush of bluegrass!
This is incredible. This is like, a soundtrack for a season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that takes place in Appalachia. Which I now also want to watch lmao
Ive been looking for it as well. :(
wow.
Agreed.
banjo is the shit! =P its so awesome!
8 people have crap in their ears.
dang all ive heard was percussion transcriptions for this song but the original version here is pretty dam clean
go sam GO! :D
You and me both
...and of course Pat Flynn is surely one of the finest flat-pickers ever...

and so on!
How can you not like listening to pink floyd????
my god 2:06 thru 2:09.
pat flynn is so sick.
They're a bluegrass Rush.
anybody who thinks bluegrass is hick music needs to get a load of these guys
That is Sam Bush on the Mandolin
It's a cool arrangement, but I still like the percussion version.
You do know that Bela wrote it and this band created the piece, right? i.e., without their original version of this masterpiece, there is no mallet percussion arrangement.
not sure about John, but i don't think Sam could play if he had to stop. he's been doing it since he was a little kid.
they did gave this song into a pit percussions quartet right...i prefer this more XD XD XD XD!!!!
it was Bela
did these guys write this or was it bela flek?
@44eelz Pat Flynn
whose the acoustic guitarist?
whos the guitar player?
Superb musicianship. Just wish Sam and John would cut out the head bobbing stuff!
Thats the rock and roll, and blues in them ,can't be helped, its part of the whole New Grass Revival image that started way back in early 70s before Pat or Bella !

banjoriff sounds like the halotheme. have bungie stolen it?
I don't know, really. As a musician, I can tell that everything about Pink Floyd's music is excellent, but there is something about it that makes me uncomfortable. It just doesn't connect with me on an emotional level.
Why? I would rather see someone get into their music.
shite
