We’ve improved a bit since beginning our picnic shows in 2006. Some of the very early shows were not video recorded. Again originally it was all for fun, we weren’t as serious as we’ve become. With the addition of John Ryan we’ve pushed it up a notch ! Thanks John.
I've heard that "for fun" line before, and it sounds like an excuse for something. Has the fun been lost at some point and replaced with some other type of emotion?
@@MrJohnnyDistortion absolutely, it’s actually more fun because we’re all prouder of the results. Originally it was just a jam really, like someone throwing out a song suggestion and most just winging it, but it’s more fun when we don’t hear all these mistakes before we took it more seriously.
Matty and the rest of the singers and musicians have captured this song well done for outside recording and sound which is very hard to do hats off to you lady and gentlemen.
These guys should be playing stadium back up to the worlds major rock bands, only they would probably show them up. Great band and it all starts with their drummer. Cheers
And Dan VanSchindel the drummer provides many of the high harmonies in many of the songs, you have to watch him back there to see him moving his lips ...yep he sings harmonies, he's got a great ear, but many times we work out who's better suited for certain harmony vocals
Wow. I watched you do a Cars song and thought, "not bad". Then a Journey cover and thought, "pretty impressive". Then, this one blew me away. I hope it is as fun as it looks.
I sure hope and pray this band is still active in some way, would definitely hop in my car to attend. I would be glued to the stage if I heard them live.
I came here to see how this cover was going to turn out....boy am I impressed. Awesome job...great choice of songs and performed VERY well. The recording is surprisingly good. Outdoors in not an easy place to capture a recording. Great job....this made my day!
As I said before, I never like any bands trying to do floyd! They are by far my number one of all times But you guys have changed my beliefs! Nailed it ! You guys are above and beyond
Seriously, This really does sound so exceptional!! Matty, your voice SHINES here, and the guitars, keyboards, drums...everything comes together so perfectly! Bravo guys!
@@MattyBaker84 I just stumbled on your bands vids, yall are really good, and your voice is incredible, I'm blown away at the band, yall from the South ???
@@MattyBaker84 yea 10/4, was wondering, well yall sure are good, I really like yalls cover of Jr.Walker / All Stars, What does it take, and the Floyd cover, if you guys ever wind up in North Ga.hit me up, 1st rounds on me, would sure like to see yall live, you are very, Very good, take care, keep doing your Thang good luck and blessings.
Whomever built this pavilion did an excellent job!! The glass(fiberglass?) ceiling panels have held up through Northern Illinois winters for what 11 years at least!! BRAVO!!!!
You have to wonder how many times these guys played these songs when they were in cover bands. Especially John Ryan seems to have the lead guitar parts memorized. What a talent!!!
We actually probably practiced this only about 20 times before this show, and only two takes with the full band the day beforehand. Every year it’s a new setlist, so we all do our homework and try to bring our A game the day of!
Thanks Bob, On any given night in out of the way saloons you can catch a great music act . Just last night I caught an excellent Grateful Dead cover band and was thouroughly impressed and I was never a huge fan of “the Dead”. Thanks for supporting live entertainment inn whatever venue you choose.
@@joelkeeton434 A little info for you. At the top of each years page there is a line directing you to the list of other years links going back to 2008 and ending in 2023. We did not perform in ‘20 or’21 due to pandemic restrictions. Thanks for your interested and I hope you enjoy the NPB efforts.
Great to hear so many of the very best classics you just don’t see or hear these days the moments of time .of great music. Band member all have music in their brains .the way so many of us have .and it shows . Great keep up rockin .
This is so great and it's live instead of being produced. The woman's singing really adds to it. I love to hear favorite songs from my past remembered by others.
Wow! That was really excellent. A great rendition done by these folks. Obviously a lot of practice went into getting this song down. A wonderful group of musicians and singers. Well done all.👍👍🇨🇦
I’ve subscribed now and watched several of these videos. Some songs are better than others. All very good. This song is awesome. The lead singer is just crazy good. He is always great. Wow. Any band would kill for him. Great harmonies here too. Always Solid bass and drums on every video. The lead guitarist has not let me down yet. Wow. So impressed.

@@MrJohnnyDistortion YES…SATISFACTION
@@sejrec56
THEN, IS IT STILL FUN?😃

@MrJohnnyDistortion REM started out as a College band, they said they were just playing gigs to make beer money.
What a great performance from the whole band. Lead player and sax player outstanding. 🙋♂️👏👏🇬🇧
Well said!
I’m like What The! Great Job!
You can tell these guys have been playing this kind of music most of their adult lives, the passion they show!
This one is my favorite of all, but then I am a giant fan of Pink Floyd.
Great, great fun. Fantastic to see an enterprise that involves so many musos in a very faithful tribute to this timeless Floyd song🤘👍👏👏👏🎶🎸
Nailed it my brothers and sisters.
Fantastic performance. Congratulations for The band. Many thanks
Great job…sounds like the record
Damn nailing the Floyd is an accomplishment for sure 👍
Let me tell you somethin. I haven't heard a band this good in a long long time
Stumbled on you all tonight by chance, wish it happened sooner, very impressive range. Wish I lived in your neighborhood….
Just great stuff. You all nailed it . Vocals and everything. Thanks.
Yeah Matty’s voice Shines like a crazy Diamond
Matty and the rest of the singers and musicians have captured this song well done for outside recording and sound which is very hard to do hats off to you lady and gentlemen.

Oh yes!
The drummer's not being shown enough, only a random fills, but not when he's actually just grooving, everybody else is getting constant camera time
And Dan VanSchindel the drummer provides many of the high harmonies in many of the songs, you have to watch him back there to see him moving his lips ...yep he sings harmonies, he's got a great ear, but many times we work out who's better suited for certain harmony vocals
@@sejrec56 Thanks for the reply, appreciated. Cheers
Damn! Guitar player is 🔥
Man. I want to live in this neighborhood.
I did, it was a trip - literally
Me, too! Cary’s 100% correct!😂
Hell yes let’s share a moving truck, I’m down with that idea
Wow. I watched you do a Cars song and thought, "not bad". Then a Journey cover and thought, "pretty impressive". Then, this one blew me away. I hope it is as fun as it looks.
great version...syd would be pleased !
These people are fantastic!
So great. The harmonies are fantastic.
This is pure Rock Music, performed the way it is supposed to!! No hype, or light shows or skimpy clad gals, Just ROCK!!
Funny, because Pink Floyd was among the pioneers of light shows
I sure hope and pray this band is still active in some way, would definitely hop in my car to attend. I would be glued to the stage if I heard them live.
Your love and Passion for the music is there for everybody to see.
Rock on guys☮️☮️☮️

Thanks much! We truly appreciate it!
Outstanding! Whoever mikes and mixes your sound needs a hearty atta boy, as well.
I'm amazed 👏
The band is very good and the level rises even more when the vocal harmonies arrive. Espectacular! Seen in Buenos Aires! ☑👀🌎
You guy's are excellent
Well done. Great vocals, and shadowing of the guitar parts w the octaves and harmonies.
Rock on picking Picnickers👏🏻👍 Life can be fun with music 😁
Just like Floyd you bring in extra players and singers absolutely fantastic.

One word " Superb "
I can't imagine there's a better, live, one take, cover of this song out there. Tremendous talent and stupendous performance!! Cheers\=/\=/
Whomever built this pavilion did an excellent job!! The glass(fiberglass?) ceiling panels have held up through Northern Illinois winters for what 11 years at least!! BRAVO!!!!
I noticed the Peace Sign tapestry! Nice touch for the 70-ish and 80-ish band members!!
I watched a bunch of these you guys are fantastic
Real glad I found you folks! 🎉 Great job 👏 Thank you for sharing. 😊

It's like listening to the album ... amazing ...
Wow, great! Glad I found your channel
Though I was there, it gets better with each listen, wow
Blown away here!
Damn! You guys are good! Funny how we just stumble upon such great musicians that the world is missing out on. Your covers are awesome. Good luck.

Just Wow. I feel like I should be paying to watch/hear this.
Here is how you pay; go out at least once a month and support live music locally at any level even a high school band performance.
superior lead voice in this song
All of you are very talented. X l lent team works
goosebumps
Man there great !!!
Very good !!!
An audience member, or maybe family, gets her moment in the spotlight!!!
That was Matty's girlfriend at the time. It was nice to add her voice on a few tunes.
I enjoy this version more than any others I have watched on TH-cam!!!
Amazing
The drummer is amazing. So are everyone else but I'm really impressed with the drummer.
He is a force - force of nature
