Seeing these folks live at the Presbyterian church in Los Angelas back in like 2012 or 13 was the best show I have ever seen. The chemistry was immaculate.
This is magic. Eric does not get enough attention for the incredible combination he and Tift have formed for years. Throw everybody together and it's just plain magic.
Absolutely loved this video. Your music (both Andrew & Tift) is so heartfelt. Beautiful Lryics, some of which are quite heartwrenching. I'm an old Incredible String Band fan and I find your music totally refreshing and your energy authentic. Thank you for sharing it!
It's amazing that: people whom you never personally, up-close met - can shape the aesthetics of your life so much and with so much sentiment to ongoings of your own life over a period of years, solely through their creative gifts.
I saw the Hands of Glory in Tulsa with my wife and it was simply amazing hearing these guys surround a single mic and sing harmonies that old room. Also, it is impossible for Tift to get any more charming and lovely.
I simply love this...the harmonies, the dialogue, the history....truly touching and my best to all. Thanks for hosting and sharing! I found this looking for Tift not knowing the gift that Andrew brings. 🙂 Wonderful to find something new and beautiful!
I've been enjoying many of your Great Room performances in quarantine. Thanks for what you do and especially for posting for all of us.Thanks to Mary Chapin Carpenter for pointing out Tift to me and to Chris Thile for introducing me to Andrew Bird. My life is so much richer now.
I don't know how to describe this. I'll do my best. Communicating through music is such a different experience to me than communicating with spoken language. You have to take turns with language. You have to interpret, think about, respond, hope, and usually be disappointed that you were unable to put into words the feelings, or ideas, you are experiencing. Having pure interactions through music can remove all those barriers as if they never existed in the first place. That's all I have so far. Really enjoying these videos. They are helping me understand my dissonance. 💚💚
Sitting perched on a stool in my attic, listening to you all play together. Late morning here in the far southwest of England but drifting to where you are through such lovely music.
I think this is my favorite Live from the Great Room yet. Tift and Andrew just work so well together. Still hoping my tickets to see Andrew in June will be able to be used.
¡¡¡Qué preciosidad!!!. ¡¡¡Qué belleza de sonidos y poemas!!!. Me encanta la elegancia de las harmonizaciones clásicas en forma de directos intimistas. ¡¡¡Es MARAVILLOSO!!! 🙀😻❤️ (Me hubiera ENCANTADO escuchar, a modo de bonus track, el tema de Tift Merritt ‘Mixtapes’, con ese violín y esa acústica inmejorable)
There needs to be a hands of glory reunion!! Come play live in Massachusetts again!! The first time I saw you was with this bunch, outdoor show in Lowell MA.
I wish they'd put some time tags on each song. That way, those of us not enamoured with giggling, swallowed comments, personal recollections and other nonsense could just edit the junk out.
I love this series, but at is there a point where they give the third person on the left a mic to use when they are talking. It reminds me of when I am at the dentist and they have a tool in my mouth and ask me questions.
A bitter and cynical friend once told me that going to America would be a waste of time as I would never find what I was looking for. Such a foolish man he is. In the last few months I have found Andrew Bird, Tift Merritt and Alex Ebert. And that's just from TH-cam. Imagine what else might be there for me when I go.. God willing.
When you hear music like this it makes you wonder who is pushing all the dumbed down, garbage "muisc" that is mainstream & gets programmed on the kids these days. Very disgusting (and tragic) that this beauty & purity in this video isn't being promoted to the masses.... rather - we get mostly garbage shoved down our throats in almost all aspects of mainstream culture these days. (music, movies, tv, video games, news, ads, etc) - and it's not by accident either. 99% of what we have been "programmed" with over the past 2 decades is mainly dark and wicked. it takes those who "don't follow" the herd to seek out and find this type of beauty. and that's why we are here.

Eric is a profoundly gifted, sensitive musician. Eric Haywood seems content in the support role, surely his humility shines through.

I love this quieter version of 'Dark Matter.' F'ing haunting.
This is fantastic. Absolutely beautiful!
Wow, what a delight to hear and see you performing, but also a little like getting to know you.
It's amazing that: people whom you never personally, up-close met - can shape the aesthetics of your life so much and with so much sentiment to ongoings of your own life over a period of years, solely through their creative gifts.
I finds myself holding my breath during each of these songs. Absolutely beautiful. Makes my heart so full.
Labor day off in lockdown week 10 in new Zealand. Thanks for transporting us to being with friends,folk music is so heartwarming

Two of my very favorite singer/songwriters. Who knew they knew each other? I'm in Heaven!

Will always remember discovering Tift after the Danse Caribe performance at Bluegrass Underground. Such a beautiful complement to each other ❤
This is so enchanting and healing! Thanks to all of you XXXX

I love tift....such a good person
dang, that version of my sister's tiny hands was pretty magical.
Much liked.
This may sound a little too enigmatic.. but I'd absolutely love to hear a collaboration in The Great Room with Thom Yorke..
That would be amazing.
Yeah me too
Love this! Two of my favorite voices with friends making super music!
Oh man this was beautiful, tear jerking (in the best way), and something i needed today. Thank you, Andrew, Tift, and co.
This is glorious. Wow. Dark Matter is exemplary!!
thanks andrew. I love and respect the work.. please keep on and keep safe
There needs to be a hands of glory reunion!! Come play live in Massachusetts again!! The first time I saw you was with this bunch, outdoor show in Lowell MA.
Es una maravilla Andrew!! gracias
Dang, I was wondering why they weren't 6 feet apart, then I saw it was filmed in 2017.
love her emmy lou esk inflections
who knew Matt Berninger could play pedal steel lol
From me, a thousand likes and then some.
Muito Obrigado! = Thank U So Much!
Really enjoyed that .... thank you 🙏🙂
Eric Heywood is one of my favorite steel players...I hope I get to meet him someday
Both together so powerful
I think of these artists when you perform- these two first --- a therapy session
Damien Rice, Bonnie Raitt
If you have Robin Pecknold on I will die and I WILL NOT press charges❤️
So good!
❤✨✨

You gotta play with kishi bashi. You guys would do so well with eachother.
The title of the first song seems to be "Drifting Apart" not "Drifted Apart" ??
"this woman is gorgeous."

Charlie Day would be a great person to have in this series.
Genres
Soulful, bluesy, country, bluegrass?, folk. That is my take.
