There's so much to react to, my top tips are "Shofukan", "Outlier", "Trinity", "The Curtain" and "Take it" but there's really no wrong pick in their repertoire.
So, yeah, that wasn't their regular drummer. Regular drummer Sput couldn't make the flight. Drummer Larnell Lewis who has played with them before got the call. He learned the songs off demos without drums on the flight from the US to Europe. He arrived two hours before the first of 8 recording sessions. So that's all the time he had to learn all 8 songs. They would play most or all of the songs in each session in front of an audience. The best take made the album. So this is both live abd the studio version. The string section seen here doing nothing only appears on two songs and if you notice, no one else has written music. There is a 38 minute doc that xane with the CD/DVD combo (90 mins on DVD as it includes the 8 final song videos)that discusses that abd how they wrote the songs upon arrival with bassist/band leader Michael League writing this one and about half or so of the songs. They have won 4 Grammy's to date and just released another album (with a bigger line up incouding most if not all the non-string section people) this year. It was also recorded live. This is the final track on the album. The whole thing is fire and covers a wide range of instrumentals. Corey Henry is wearing a Woodstock shirt. That's a dove, which is a type of pigeon.
Thank you for your reaction. I so enjoyed your amazement. Your explanations of what was happening musically increased my appreciation of this piece. I just keep watching different reactions of this performance because it always sounds new to me..
Hey really enjoyed the reaction! I like how you pickup on and pay attention to all of the little details and comments of the different players. I would LOVE to see you react to Larnell Lewis hears a so g once and plays it perfectly (he's the drummer for Lingus)
Hey bro. Great reaction as always. Fellow Worship keyboardist here, 😃going on 21 years at the same church. Been having a blast the whole time. Always awesome to see somebody hear Snarky and Jacob for the first time. Musicians are especially affected by these guys due to the underlying genius that non-musicians just don’t notice. We totally get when you talk about the “feelings” you get from certain chords or other tidbits of awesomeness that zoom past a more casual listener. Thanks for backing up a little after the pauses, which are great snapshots of your state of musical bliss at that moment. Really good stuff. Thanks again. Bravo!
Watching your reaction was a pleasure. The keyboard soloist is Corey Henry -- who began at age 6 and grew up playing for church.The man amazed, who got up and took off his headphones at one point is Shaun Martin, who himself has won six grammys so far. As for more great stuff from them -- start maybe with Shofukan or Sleeper from the We like it Here sessions.
Reactor: Impressed how he's harminizing his own solo on two keyboards. Me: You just wait till you see him doing a two handed identical solo on those two keyboards in a few seconds... Lol. Greatest keyboard solo I have ever heard in ever aspect.
Actually, the whole melody/refrain are in 5/4; the verse is in half time to the refrain. M. League (the composer) says it’s their version of ‘dub step’. The red headphones are the band; the gray ‘Silent Disco’ headphones are the audience. The audience headphones are bluetooth connected to the main mixing board output. The “Look at that guy” guy is multi-grammy award winning keyboardist and SP member Shawn Martin who had been featured in an earlier video which he thought (up until this song) would be the feature for this album. I hate to burst your bubble, but the soloist is wearing a Woodstock shirt featuring a dove. BTW, Snarky Puppy performs WITH Jacob Collier on “Don’t You Know” on the SP album “Family Dinner Vol. 2”.
I like you have wondered why I missed out on this band as well as Jacob Collier. It is interesting to note that both have worked with Jules Buckley and Metropole Orkest. Jacob Collier can also be seen collaborating with Snarky Puppy on Family Dinner Vol. 2.
Always great to see people and their first exposure to Snarky Puppy and Lingus. Equally impressive drumming by Larnell Lewis in "What About Me" from the same session. Since you seem to be into Jacob Collier, he has also recorded some songs with Snarky Puppy
It really doesn’t get any better than this shit right here 👌👌👌 I don’t have anything to recommend that can compare to the legends that are Jacob Collier and Snarky Puppy… But for more great piano work, check out Fujii Kaze - Shinunoga E-Wa Live at Nippon Budokan; and for more great music made with a bunch of bodies on stage, check out Wagakki Band - 焔(Homura) + 暁ノ糸(Akatsuki no Ito); and for more fun time signature stuff, check out Tricot - Potage
I just subscribed. You are a true music lover, with such an honest, straightforward response. I enjoy listening to music with you and watching your heartfelt reactions. A couple of suggestions to add to your list: 1. Playing For Change - Biko ( Peace Train and The Weight are also wonderful in the playing for change series), and 2. In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel, the Secret World Live. Given your responses to Snarky Puppy and Jacob Collier I think these will be welcome additions. Enjoy, and thanks!
Great reaction! Wish the music was a _bit_ higher in the mix, though. With your duck filter on top of it, it's pretty hard to hear. Subscribed anyway, and hope you keep it up!
Hey thanks for the reaction. One suggestion - turn down your mic a bit vs the music. Can hear you breathing while watching and it’s kind distracting. Or put a noise gate on it :). Hope that’s taken as constructive feedback
Some improvements for the future: more volume on music video ... Volume/sensivity down on your mic (we can hear you breathing)... too much stops on main parts of video - it kills the magic of 'wizards masterpiece'... Plz. don't get it wrong it's well-intentioned criticism... What I like is that you notice fine spots of that very special art playing drums of Larnell Lewis... Must see: Larnell on Zildjian live...
I do appreciate the words, I did notice the volume issues, (trust me, I cringe when I hear myself breathe in post) I’m kind of fixing it as I go, I’ve got pop filters for my microphone being shipped right now. To your comment about too many stops on the main part of the video, due to YT and it’s copyright system, I have to make sure the song doesn’t play for too long so that the video doesn’t get flagged for copyright. Again, I do appreciate the constructive criticism! 😁
only a few minutes in. Your mix balance is way off. I'm all for you talking over the music but if I have it loud enough to hear the music your voice literally hurts my ear-drums mate 🙂
I am here to witness the birth of a new Snarky Puppy reactor. Looking forward to more!
There's so much to react to, my top tips are "Shofukan", "Outlier", "Trinity", "The Curtain" and "Take it" but there's really no wrong pick in their repertoire.
@@jenspalmqvist EXACTLY, no wrong choice really.
@@jenspalmqvist Your name looks familiar. Can't remember where from. Probably a Snarky Puppy reaction comment 😂
@@BongoBaggins that sounds like a super reasonable assumption! You gotta hook the new guys early so you get them to react to your favorites. 😅
@@jenspalmqvist So true! See you at Trinity and Outlier 😁

I can't get enough of watching people seeing Lingus for the first time. It's the most beautiful thing to witness. Thank you for that.
Me too!
The drummer is Larnell Lewis. Check out his Ziljan live performance.
The soloist is Cory Henry, a legit legend. The guy in awe next to him is multi-Grammy winner Shaun Martin.
Ohhhhh THAT was Shaun Martin??? I've only ever heard his 7Summers album, but I absolutely LOVE it!!
Look at a Kirk Frankling album and you will see Shauns name.

First Snarky Puppy? Oh man have you found a rabbit hole. I'm currently two years in and still digging deeper

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Snarky Puppy's music 😂😂
The greatest improvised solo ever. An ethereal, in-the-moment, spiritual talk between Larnell and Corey…great reaction and analysis
Really enjoyed your reaction. It’s neat to see someone explain and appreciate some of the intricacies of the timing and keyboard work.

At some point in the video, you can see the techs attending the mixers are havung a blast and losing their minds!!
The "Pigeon Shirt" you are commenting on is the original logo for the Woodstock Concert in 1969. . .
I like you have wondered why I missed out on this band as well as Jacob Collier. It is interesting to note that both have worked with Jules Buckley and Metropole Orkest. Jacob Collier can also be seen collaborating with Snarky Puppy on Family Dinner Vol. 2.

Forget Collier…Cory’s solo here is hailed as the greatest keyboard solo in modern times!
Great reactiom and cool things that you noticed and pointed out! Please check out "Sleeper" from the same Snarky Puppy session, one of my faves💜
Oh, I’ll get there. Just recorded my reaction to “What About Me?”, I’m just getting STARTED with Snarky Puppy…
@@PIGEONPOWER Oooh yes that was the other one I aas gonna recommend lmao I'll definitely tune in when you drop that one🔥
The Pigeon shirt is the Woodstock logo from 1969.
The Woodstock shirt.
You mean the Woodstock shirt.
Ow.
You should hear the Texas southern university ocean of soul marching band play this it was crazy even the solo 🤦🏾♂️🔥🔥🔥
It really doesn’t get any better than this shit right here 👌👌👌
I don’t have anything to recommend that can compare to the legends that are Jacob Collier and Snarky Puppy… But for more great piano work, check out Fujii Kaze - Shinunoga E-Wa Live at Nippon Budokan; and for more great music made with a bunch of bodies on stage, check out Wagakki Band - 焔(Homura) + 暁ノ糸(Akatsuki no Ito); and for more fun time signature stuff, check out Tricot - Potage

Why’d he stop posting, do you know at all?
Trumpet player had his horn going through a wah pedal.
Is that a pigeon? Kind of, it's a dove on a Woodstock Tshirt.
How about a collaboration between Snarky Puppy and a guy named...Jacob Collier? th-cam.com/video/CAcfK3KsfSE/w-d-xo.html
Two artists for the price of one blown mind.
Great reaction! Wish the music was a _bit_ higher in the mix, though. With your duck filter on top of it, it's pretty hard to hear.
Subscribed anyway, and hope you keep it up!
14:13
Just before the horns come back in after Corey's solo I'm almost certain they play a bar of 4 then a bar of 5. It sounds so awkward

Again, I do appreciate the constructive criticism! 😁
And NOBODY is reading any music!!!! PHENOMENAL!!!
turn the microphone volume down a bit!
...you stop alot, no blame, but you should step back a bit EVERY time...context is important!
The volume level of the music is way too low compared to your voice.
only a few minutes in. Your mix balance is way off. I'm all for you talking over the music but if I have it loud enough to hear the music your voice literally hurts my ear-drums mate 🙂
(I’ll assume by now somebody’s already pointed out that Cory’s “pigeon shirt” is the classic Woodstock logo. 😆)
