That's exactly the comment I was going to write! For both musicians, music comes first, then it goes through the instrument. Period. That is very different from the "finger music" that many guitarists of all styles are pouring.
YES...!! Hadn't thought of that, glad you did. He really very much is like him., especially how they both pull heavily from classical music, and all sorts of Americana beauty.
@@formxshape Of course, been watching and listening for many years. He is currently hustling guitars for a Spanish maker of questionable character. But you are aware of that.
He and Carl Miner would be an absolute unstoppable duet, as well as beautiful, intriguing, unique and I could go on and on. He's a true master but would never admit it. Very special guy.....
No one has more fun playing guitar alone than Julian. My favorite moment is the intro to gardens where go goes “whoa” so something he just did. Surprised himself I guess!
I was at this show and mesmerized by it. I have been lost in a trance everyday since trying to bring myself back to the live experience of witnessing the honestly and immediacy of Julian's musicality. I was overjoyed to find this video and realize there was a record of this experience. Thank you, Daniel, for making and sharing this recording!
@@Ty-bz7zx Yes, he is very skilled, but musically really nothuing special. Julian is a different world of music. For me slightly comparable to Antoine Boyer.
@@jaroslavmencl9543 I get ya, Marcin is more my style, I am pretty basic and do not enjoy the fine intricacies of classical style, Self proclaimed musical heathen. =) Will try this again with an altered perspective sometime.
@@Ty-bz7zx Marcin is interesting but I don't think he really holds up if you can't watch him with his gimmicks and tricks. He's too flashy, he doesn't have even close to the sophistication of this guy. His voicings and harmonies are really something incredible, and has some serious chops that serve the music instead of being flashy. Marcin is really focusing on music built for tiktok and youtube shorts.
If is having half as much fun playing as it looks like, he's got the best job in the world! Such a joy to watch and listen to him. Truly a musician with his own voice.
really hard to think it in terms of job, in this cases it's more of a lifelong commitment/mission, he breathes music since the moment he wakes up since a very very young age.
@@chitarragenova I define a job as something you get paid to do, regardless of whether you like doing it or it's something you do just to make ends meet. I know of people in totally different areas that probably are as dedicated to their crafts as Julian is to his. Professors and programmers are two examples. Would you also not define what they do as a job?
I was at this show. I wish this video captured how perfect this venue was for Julian’s solo performance. I had a front row balcony seat, but I swear I was fifteen away from the stage. His commentary between songs was also lovely!
I just finished playing my new Alvarez Maccasar Ebony and Spruce Top and i had alot of fun in my living room with a big smile accompanying me until i put You tube on and listened to this Gentleman play for the first time. The rest of the night i shall continue to eat humble pie . However that was so amazing after the second Song i had to stop it and digest what i just saw and heard ! I shall have to watch some more tomorrow . WoW that truly was Amazing ! ThX !!🔥🎸🔥👏🙏🔯🙏
So enjoyable to YT listening of Julian's solo improv! I've been listening since he was 8 or 9 years old here in the SF Northbay area. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I picked up Julian's guitar pick dropped while giving a beautiful performance on stage and I walked out of the wings and handed it to him, not realizing that he already reached for another in his pocket; though he politely smiled at me and took it. I knew right then that he'd become a consummate professional musician! Proud of your career path, Julian, and always enjoy another live performance from you🙏🏼🎶
WOW!Dude is one of a kind, pure inspiration the way he musically connects to his soul, to the audience and ultimately to the utmost possibilities of the guitar! thanks 🙏🏼
Feels wild to say this, but he's gotten noticeably better since I started listening in 2016! I hereby demand that this man live forever and be protected at all costs!!
This is ,at last, mature Pos-modern Art.One can not stop following the arguments of the music ,no matter how technically advanced,almost childish elaborated or stylysh -like .sequences .This is pure and simple communication of life through this solo instrument of centuries ago .Clearly it resumes 21st century expressed without paraphernalia by means of a man and an acoustic instrument
I has been listening to Julian Lage for many years but still don’t catch what he was playing style. Until recently a few months ago, I found the beautiful of Julian Lage playing guitar. It huge for player who’s not only child prodigy but talent composer. I place Lage track on Top of my listening list and continue dig deep to his pieces. Thanks for sharing.
So glad I discovered Julian about 5 yrs ago. He’s slowly but surly becoming a living legend. The man is great like a modern day Chopin of guitar! One of the very few musicians that captures my ear in anticipation like Chopin, Jimi, or EJ . He’s truly mesmerizing
Many thanks for sharing this moment of pure magic, I doubt that i would have one day the chance to experience a concert of his in France but at least I could had a glance of what it is Live through your video !

The Keith Jarrett of guitar.

@@pputnam100😆
Was that meant to be a compliment?
Can’t find a higher compliment than comparing Julian with Jarrett.
Jessica Williams once said “the music plays me.”
He really isn't just an amazing player, he's his own unique contribution to what's possible with music and the guitar.
I was there and to say this was a spiritual experience would be an understatement! Still in awe..
I’ve been hearing term “next level’ a lot lately. Julian is the level after that.
This is unreal. No one sounds like him. His feel and creativity are through the roof.
He’s along for the ride as much as we are just incredible
Broken the barrier between consciousness and instrument- like watching Bach or Coltrane play
The courage and bravery it requires to play just one acoustic guitar in such auditorium...!
And a simple mahogany and spruce 00-18 style guitar I believe from Collings, played by one of the most creative guitarists alive. Truly an original.
@@jeffhildreth9244 Such a genius. 👌
@@jeffhildreth9244 000-18 (; And yes, his signature Collings.
Have you never heard of Yamandu Costa?
@@formxshape Of course, been watching and listening for many years.
He is currently hustling guitars for a Spanish maker of questionable character.
But you are aware of that.
What a tremendous tremendous talent. Just a completely singular voice on the instrument
Most important guitarist alive. Good lord Julian you are unreal and so emotional!
Man he looks like he’s having so much fun as well, must be a blast to have the freedom of the instrument like this
There is no other guitarist on earth like Julian. His abilities are limitless. His humanity is ever present.
Hes like a modern Mozart or Beethoven, I love it
He and Carl Miner would be an absolute unstoppable duet, as well as beautiful, intriguing, unique and I could go on and on. He's a true master but would never admit it. Very special guy.....

One of the most unique guitarist ever, dude is elevating the instrument.
Look up Marcin =)

Not just guitar. Elevating all of music, improvisation, and revealing human potential. I believe he’s that special.

Saw him in Portland, ME two days later -- completely nuts experience. What a singular player. There is no distance between him and the machine.
I like to watch him play because he so obviously loves what he`s doing
That whole bit surrounding 39 minutes was off the wall, probably the best thing I've heard out of a single acoustic guitar.
honestly , I felt that way over and over again
No one can touch this guy! Such a breath of fresh air.
Listen to Sylvain LUC solo.
Antoine Boyer, Adrien Moignard, Sébastien Giniaux, Bireli ofcourse
I was at this show. I wish this video captured how perfect this venue was for Julian’s solo performance. I had a front row balcony seat, but I swear I was fifteen away from the stage. His commentary between songs was also lovely!
Yea I definitely wish I had captured it all without stopping...it was amazing. Such a great venue for a show like this
2:06 he feels it through every fiber of his being… surreal
I should have gone to this show. It was only an hour away
I just finished playing my new Alvarez Maccasar Ebony and Spruce Top and i had alot of fun in my living room with a big smile accompanying me until i put You tube on and listened to this Gentleman play for the first time.
The rest of the night i shall continue to eat humble pie .
However that was so amazing after the second Song i had to stop it and digest what i just saw and heard ! I shall have to watch some more tomorrow . WoW that truly was Amazing ! ThX !!🔥🎸🔥👏🙏🔯🙏
I attended this, great atmosphere and I think Julian was surprised by how well received he was.
Stellar performance, I was utterly amazed by this display of musicality!

Bravo, I hear a John McLaughlin and Al Dimeola FUSION in his 'Guitar Playing' .... Keep on 'Improvising Maestro!!!...
WOW!Dude is one of a kind, pure inspiration the way he musically connects to his soul, to the audience and ultimately to the utmost possibilities of the guitar! thanks 🙏🏼
Love it! In general I don't really get his electric playing, but this is wonderful. So creative, Jarrett on Guitar. Cool.
Great recording, I was lucky enough to see him on the 13th and the 16th 🎸
Feels wild to say this, but he's gotten noticeably better since I started listening in 2016! I hereby demand that this man live forever and be protected at all costs!!

Julian is one of the best alive just love seeing him do his craft
Thank u for recording this video dude🙏🙏🙏
It amazing how Julian can improvise these songs on the spot. I can work all year on a song and end up nowhere. lol
So glad I discovered Julian about 5 yrs ago. He’s slowly but surly becoming a living legend. The man is great like a modern day Chopin of guitar! One of the very few musicians that captures my ear in anticipation like Chopin, Jimi, or EJ . He’s truly mesmerizing
Julian is not surly at all. He's very good natured. (Sorry, just making a lame joke about your typo.) 😀
Thanks! Not often to see a full solo Julian show on YT
i love how he is one with the guitar, so inspiring ❤
One of a kind - playing like a free man with no limitations......unearthly and so inspiring.
my jaw are literally on the floor!!!! sureal experience
One of my favorite venues. I missed out on going to this one, thank you for posting a high quality video.
Very nice! Not often we hear "modern" tonalities, generally found in the classical guitar world, played like this.
Love it.
I can't stop watching him playing
Thank you for sharing! Amazing to listen to and watch him play!
I would love to see a collaboration between Julian and Phil Keaggy.
Me too!
this is so incredible, thank you for posting.
Many thanks for sharing this moment of pure magic, I doubt that i would have one day the chance to experience a concert of his in France but at least I could had a glance of what it is Live through your video !
Attended the concert in Cincinnati, OH on 07 September 2023 at Memorial Hall Anderson Theater. Very nice.
Thank you so much for posting this!!!
Sublime!
Increíble 🔥🚀
Beautiful
Wow he sounds better than ever. Amazing.

Just awesome. Thanks for sharing the concert
Thank you for sharing this amazing performance! I'm really enjoying it from South Korea.

What a journey! Such a treat for this Saturday late night. Thanks 🙏
Super maestro.

Fantastic musician.
Such a talent.....so nice to see....fearless!
This is so incredible!! :)))
What a treat. Thanks Julian.
What a treat
It's a great show!
Thank you for your uploading!
Amazing
Kind of a beast then Jesus , he blended classical jazz with gypsy guitar elements and folk ninja
What an incredibly musical dude
I saw him on this tour at a very small venue......first song brought tears to my eyes~~was just at a whole other level
thanks!!!!
😊 insanely good
Top of the top
I really should be spending this time with my wife
Extraordinaire!!
é muito giro assistir à construção e desconstrução que ele de uma forma desinibida e divertida assume em palco!
Genio absoluto entre los genios
We need the Worlds Fair follow up album and another album with Chris Eldridge sooner than later because I can listen to this all day
Extraordinaire !
Bravo!!!
wooooow!!!!!!!
Ideas seem to flow like water when this man plays.
total technical mastery!
Ce gars-là est époustouflant de génie musical ! Mille Bravos
deixa-nos sempre em suspenso, fantástico!
ไพเราะมากครับ
I wish I were there
Não tenho mais palavras. EXTRAORDINÁRIO. DE OUTRA GALÁXIA QUALQUER… Será Julian Lage o Keith Jarrett da Guitarra? Obrigado pela partilha.
👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This video has a VHS home movie vibe and I love it.
Oooh God!
speechless
Outsanding playing.
Beautiful Travel.
this is a new trip
