Hey! Check out my REACTION PLAYLIST...
th-cam.com/play/PLqspKksRqaUURy8K34sBSKvuGo3ApmLC2.html
Lol you had me going for just a second.. haha. Is this not the best 5/4 song in history or what?
Well you got me...in the first couple of minutes I was thinking "this guy is crazy"....and then you pulled the "only joking"....good one
Sorry Phil! Glad you hung in there.
i was getting mad 😂
Same!
not gonna lie, for a moment I was upset i'd spoiled the joke for myself by seeing your comment, but then it was the only thing that kept me watching
Yup same here. I was like “what the actual...”
Massive thanks to everyone who made it through the intro!
Obviously 8 people didn't stick around to get the joke! HAHA
Hahaha
I went far too long on it...
This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen, I was thinking “what did I click on?” “who is this pretentious art asshole?”
I think you nailed the bit 😂
@@TamLeigh HAHA Thanks Tam!!!
I almost stopped watching too! I was thinking this guy is crazy!!! Good video!
Not gonna lie...
He had us in the first half
I seriously almost gave this vid a heavy thumbs down. I was like...”Who is this guy?”
Sorry Vinnie!
Just felt like being silly on this one as the material is so ridiculous HAHA
Thanks for commenting brother!
No worries, I got a good laugh out of it 😂👍
me to bro 😂
I did. Only the comments saved it.
And here I am, just here to see Corey Henry's solo... again.
Dude
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Don't worry, I'm subbed and here to see your videos ;). But that was basically my comment on another (jazz) drummer's reaction video to this song 😂, which became the top comment.
As long as I have you here, if you want to hear/see some MIND MELTING rhythms and melodies, check out some Balinese Gamelan.
This video serves as a good introduction: th-cam.com/video/UEWCCSuHsuQ/w-d-xo.html
It would be super cool if you did a video in this! It would expose Gamelan to a whole lot of people who haven't heard of it yet! I'm super passionate about this music and have been playing for years!
@@DEG_fan Woah! Thanks Adrian!!!
for the 5th time
It's ridiculous, so tasty!
In my opinion this IS, the best keyboard solo I've ever encountered. No questions asked!
It's up there!
Me too
George Duke on Zappa's ''Inca roads''
th-cam.com/video/qlDmeck4gSM/w-d-xo.html
surreal fact: apparently the drummer was at a very short notice and flew in the same day without much preparation or practice at all, haha
Yeah I mean... that's just...
yeah.
True, he had to learn all the setlist during the 7-hour flight even without the drums in front of him! He's a beast
His drum solo on, "What About Me", is insanely good. Just nuts!!
Alessio Romano in fact most of the band only got the music a few days before the first show of the series where they recorded this album. And they only got skeletal midi demos. But they know bassplayer Michael League so well after years of working together they understand his compositional shorthand.
To me that is the most amazing part of all of this - Michael hadn’t written most of the album when they landed in Europe - just rough sketches, and not all the tunes.That they function like that is a testament not only to their insane level of musicianship, but familiarity with one another but it still doesn’t explain how Lewis, who was last minute addition, a fill-in drummer for all practical intents, was able to do what he does on this....Incredible.
This album was written in 4 days before this and then recorded in 4 sessions where they picked the best ones. The drummer wasn't there for the whole writing and rehearsing and learned it in 18 hours (including a 9 hour flight). This band is not human 😂
7/8* hours
Wait. I can't imagine how possibly just this particular music alone was written in 4 days, let alone the whole album. Are you sure you got that right?
@@longcastle4863 I'm almost certain. They talked about it on the CD DVD. I bet you could find it on YT. If not, it's 100% worth it to buy the CD.
@@TheMagicalArden Comments from parts of the band about this in this video "Snarky Puppy We Like It Here - Larnell Arrives" th-cam.com/video/EvxN7wCjSis/w-d-xo.html
Larnell flew in from New York to Amsterdam; no sleep in the plane because of studying the music; at the airport no taxi; after all that straight to the studio in Utrecht and than he plays like this. Just from another galaxy
💎🌌💎
The delicate sniff of the bottle had me fooled for a moment, I must admit!
HAHA Sorry Marc!
I'm just being a dork
Andrew - they started adding audiences to their recording sessions somewhere around the "Ground Up" album, because it gave them more energy performing in front of people. This crowd is some string musicians (for other tunes on the album) and fans that came out to see them.
Thanks Jim!
They started doing that with the album just before GroundUP, Tell Your Friends. Both are amazing albums.
This song is the perfect example of “are you rushing or are you dragging?!”
This song is such an amazing usage of dragging while still stayin together perfectly.
And then the legendary key solo , the bass drum does that pattern where it rushes the 1-2 1-2 1-2-3
It’s just amazing how this entire song is a percussive masterpiece. Like even during the keyboard solo - it is incredibly percussive
Like imagine this same song but with a basic back beat and if you “corrected”
The dragging pace of the horns. The song would just have an entirely different vibe.
Imagine just stepping off a plane and playing that?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums totally incredible.
It reminds me of The Mars Volta - when their drummer quit mid way through the end of the tour - and Thomas Pridgen was playing
With some other band. So they they gave him their set list - and he was able to fill in for the remaining shows on the last 9 days of the tour. And then they just said hey. Wanna be our new drummer??!
Haha it’s crazy how talented some people are.
As much as alot of the attention is on Larnell and the amazing keyboard player.... But how freaking tight were the Brass??
Corey Henry's solo is one of the most glorious things I've ever witnessed. It literally brings tears to my eyes 80% of the time.
Agree
Same, just did again this time haha
You had me fooled with that intro! Great reaction.
HAHA Sorry Rofi! LOL
Fun Fact: Larnell Lewis never performed or recorded with them before that day... or even practised.
Cory's solo is so off the charts that it is easy to lose the sax and trumpet solos. Their tones are so beautifully close. The trumpet bends and squeezes the notes. Crazy good. Regarding whether anyone realized what they were about to hear....NO. Not even Cory did by his delighted expression towards the end. Sometimes there is an out of body experience and we were all lucky enough be along for the ride! (North Texas State has one of the premier jazz schools in the US)
Those people in the crowd were THE CHOSEN. Can you even imagine having something this DIVINE in person?! Your very soul is shattered...
A great answer for the student would be like:
-Can i learn we like it here?
-Well... You can try.
Yeah. Depends on the student.
Beginner.... nah
I was yelling at my phone at your initial joke reaction! “How can this man have this many followers.” You...you guy 😏
Gotcha Scott!
Dude! I stumbled across your video and you almost had me with that intro! I was like “what is he talking about?!??” Great reaction! Lol
Glad you enjoyed!
Sorry for being a dick at the start HAHAHA
Oh you bugger i was two seconds away from walking out the door
HAHA. Sorry! I was foolin' around :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums it was hilarious, you totally got me
I think he nailed just the right length of troll, i mean look at his ratio
That solo brings tears to my eyes. There are no words.
I agree Wayne. Pure joy of music creation
The build up with the drums and the percussions during the keyboard solo is just insane. I think we are so lucky having the chance to see this performance, and I wonder if anyone was realizing that one of that few musical magic moments (which every musician wish to live) was being recorded. Masterpiece.
Thanks again from France for your videos Andrew.
Thanks for watching Gauthier!
This is one of the most perfect live performances ever recorded, everyone is just planing, the bass player is the composer and arranger i believe. Intense stuff.
Intense and amazing!
I was literally raging and judging you so hard.. I was so triggered LMAO that was hilarious. sub well deserved
HAHAHA!
YESSSSSSSS
Glad to have ya on board!
I was literally mid scree until the 2 minute point wondering how the hell you could teach drums. You got me sir, take your thumbs up.
The amount of talent in this room is exponential! I listen to this recording at least once a week and it never gets old. We are blessed to be able to experience such musicianship (and sound quality) in our generation!
Crazy stuff
Hey guys! As a way to prioritize the amount of reaction requests I'm getting via email/instagram and in the TH-cam comments...
I am going to try and do the Patron picks first. There is no limit on the Patreon (could be $1/month).
www.patreon.com/AndrewRooneyDrums
I still love you if you are NOT a patreon contributor. And I will still try and get to your pick. It's a just a reward for those that help out with costs/time involved with doing the vids.
Disclaimer: No guarantees. I can only do what I can do. If a vid is blocked... it's blocked. I'll do my best!
Note: Patrons also get exclusive access to the vids that get blocked :)
Larnell Lewis is an absolute beast. If you're gonna claim the title of drum instructor, maybe give some tips during the video?
During live performances, Michael League doesn't notify who is to be doing the solos until a few bars before it's supposed to start. Keeps everyone involved and inspired. When I saw them, it was Bobby Sparkes on keys who got the "Lingus" nod. Epic stuff. Most of their performances are recorded, then mixed overnight and made available the next day. Most still on the website.
AMAZING!!!
Best thing about Cory is that every time he plays another totally different unique solo when playing Lingus
That's just not fair Roland!
I have watched Lingus about 50 times, and it is perfect every time.... Love this song!!!
Gets better and better
I was literally furious at your intro 😂 glad I stayed til the end, great content 🙏
HAHA! Thanks Joe!
Lol, I was ready to get pissed off, like ‘well show me what YOU got then’ hahaha. You fooled me.
Sorry! LOL
Shaun Martin’s reaction is priceless.
Edit: it’s been 40-some years since I was a vocalist and horn player in high school. I have always had an appreciation for many (not all) genres of music. My personal playlist on my phone is considered a wild variety by my friends.
But that list has grown so much in the past few years mainly because of this phone and TH-cam. I bet Michael League (bass player and founder of Snarky Puppy and composer/arranger of much of their music) doesn’t realize how much he has broadened many people’s music appreciation. I would never have found many new artists on my playlist without Michael’s creation of S. P. Cory Henry, Shaun Martin, Bob Reynolds
Larnell Lewis, Mark Lettieri, and more are great additions to my musical world and have led to many other new (to me) artists. Thank you, Michael League for being the seed of a huge new playlist.
I wasn't there, but this is the way they record it:
They play through the entire album over a few different days, they then take the best versions of each of the songs and put it on the album. There's some clips of Lingus being played on the other days where Cory's solo is not as good (i mean how could it be?). If you watch all the videos from the album, you can see that the clothes of the musicians change as they performed it on different days...However each individual song is "one take". All the solos are actual improv solos and not written ahead of time (which you can see if you find clips of the other songs from different days)
The crowd are paying for their audience. They release tickets to these live recordings. However they haven't done it since this album, and have since grown in huge popularity. They plan on the next album to be like this recording. I shudder to think what the price of those tickets will be.
Quite incredible
There was a live audience for Family Dinner Vol. 2, was it a different system from this one?
@@OvertopAccel Not sure about Vol2...but in Vol 1 you can clearly see some of the songs are recorded with the audience in the seats and some are with the audience on the stage.
As a trumpet player I have to feel kinda bad for Mike, he kinda beefed his solo but there was no way they were gonna use any other take
@@OkSharkey that wrong note he chunks in his solo is my favourite part of the whole solo, so I'm glad it stuck in the final version
"can we learn We Like it Here by Snarky Puppy?"..."No"...I laughed out loud at that
HAHAHA
You should've said "not my tempo" in the beginning... 😂
😂😂😂 classic “yeah I would have gone about 2 clicks slower on the tempo for this tune **proceeds to pontificate about proper tempo for each sub genre”
Apparently this has had over 28 million plays. Also I have to admit you had me going I was busy thinking up what expletives I was going to call you, and then the smile came. Wonderfull, subscribed
GOTCHA JAMES!
I still cringe thinking how many people turned this off in disgust :)
You're absolutely right. The more you listen to Snarky Puppy, the more you realize that Nate Werth is the unsung hero. Obviously, the whole band is amazing (in any of their configurations) but his percussion is on another level. It's really opened my eyes to the power of a strong a percussionist.
Oh Jonathan. He is FANTASTIC!
Always plays the right part
Nate's brilliance lays on the hability of blending with the drums instead of compete with it. Genius (and pretty mature) playing!
@@ViniVPinheiro Exactly. He got a lot of people confused on first listen as to if Larnell was playing all those extra hits. His preformance actually elevated Larnell's and becomes more impressive even e realize he's there too!
Argh! He got me LOL. Was actually looking forward to how the one person on the planet who didn’t like this song was going to justify that opinion.
LOL
Same, lol. I was excited to see what someone who doesn't enjoy the tune - or at least some aspects of it - would react, but of course he got me lol.
Damn dude you really caught me red handed with that intro!
HAHA! Sorry for being a dork :)
been watching for years and the first two minutes legit had me fucking shaking LOL. 4 years later, still funny
HAHAHA
One of the best bands ever, multitude of Grammy winners, great composition, exquisite solos. And I am not even a Jazz fan.😉
Agree Erik!
This was recorded in the Netherlands in the Kytopia studio of trompet player Kyteman (Colin Benders). There were 4 live sessions spread over 2 nights including a meet & great with the band, free drinks and a jam session after the second session. Tickets were sold for €100 and it sold out in no time. I was too late and missed out unfortunately.
Larnell is the MAN. He does a videoon the zildjian live series with the Ghostnote band that is unreal.
I'll check it out!
Sometimes I come back for this comedic entrance! Great intro!
HAHA. Good to have you back Steven!
… have listened to this mind boggling composition hundreds of times; your reaction was brilliant. subscribed. ✌🏼
Awesome! Thank you Paul!
Sry for commenting again ;) I'm an engineer. And there's a common phrase (or prayer?) along engineers (at least in Germany :) - "Dear God, at least once in my life, let me work with professionals!"
I so envy the Snarky Puppy members. They get to do that every day!
100% Thomas! Makes everything easy when you are all rowing in the same direction
Awesome reaction! I've been binging Lingus reactions all day, and in every one that I've watched (yours is about the seventh or eighth), people have the same reaction that I did when I first heard it: Either jaw-dropped mouth agape, or grinning from ear-to-ear during the whole 10 minutes of the song. This is a top five fusion song of all-time for me - I can put it on repeat for an hour and not get tired of listening to it (or watching it in this case). And, as a keyboardist, yes - Cory's solo is easily one of the top five synth solos of all-time. Maybe top three - maybe best ever. And I've seen transcriptions of that thing and it makes me quiver. Thanks for the great video!
Had to rewatch , again , epic . Thankyou.
This album was recorded in a studio in Utrech, The Netherlands; I would assume the majority of audience members are dutch. This is the album Larnell was called in as a stand in for SP’s drummer “Sput” Searight (who had passport issues), and Larnell learned pretty much the entire set ON THE PLANE RIDE OVER.
All compositions are created in Logic and each band member is given a file, with not just their respective parts, but ALL parts, so they can better understand how their part fits.
I attribute the amount of talent in the room to where the band started, the University of North Texas, which has been attracting the best jazz musicians for approximately 50 years or so.
Many of the musicians are alumni of North Texas State’s jazz program.
by the way, you can pause and play with "K", no need to search with your mouse or press the space bar and jump 2 pages down.
(back and forward 10 seconds are J and L, for full screen press F and M is mute)
hahaha okay that was great! genuienly was like "are you nuts!!!!".
HAHA Jacob
Just seeing your reaction now; I enjoyed it. You asked "Keyboardists - top 5 solo all time?" I think it's a top-10 (maybe top-5) all time solo on *any instrument*, in any era.
Yes! Freakish solo
Ok you got me good on this one Andrew!😂
HAHA!
Sorry Scott!
So many "team building" events I had to partake in my live. So many activities to try to make people understand each other and work better together. When I was a teen, I played in a band (yeah, not good enough, thou ;). But I never experienced minds in a sync more than when playing with my friends. You want to teach people how to achieve a common goal ? Let them do music together!
And Snarky Puppy is so exceptional good at this. Mind you, they're not playing by any notes. Those beautiful in-sync sloppy drags by the horns at the beginning of this song are all just by feeling that guy by your side. To me, "Lingus" - and Snarky Puppy in general - is not about some solo of some band member. It's about that beautiful sync of the band members. And that horn section is so unbelievable damn tight!
When they played this at the java Jazz festival Cory Henry was not there so we got a guitar solo instead - epic - worth watching. Re teaching this track, there is a Larnel Lewis reacts vid where folks do drum along to the tracks off We Like it Here - very well as it happens...
Keyboardist here, definitely one of the top 5 solos that’s makes you wanna quit keyboard cause it’s just that insane
The brass are tight as anything and the trumpet / sax dialog is fantastic. Corey hit outer space with that solo. He didn't simply play to the chord progression, but invented a new chord progression over the top of the one outlined by the bass. It's insane how good it sounds. It's like Corey was playing a different piece inside of the piece that was playing. I don't know, "piece-ception"?
Yup great call Jim.
Top 5 all time keys solo man. Mental
Man you almost had me! I was sitting here like “what the fuck is he talking about?!” And then you pulled out the “I’m only joking” and I was like “oh thank god” lol
Also at 4:03 is that a synth with a talk box I’m hearing?
@Coop - One of the keyboard players is indeed using a talk box on his synth during this show but not at the time in question (as can be seen in a shot a bit later) 🙂 th-cam.com/video/kDXnPfA_5pY/w-d-xo.html
Dude you had me going, I wanted to slap that wine off the table. Nice one man!!
Sorry Michael HAHA!
Me, too! Lol
Not gonna lie you had us in the first half
HAHA Gotcha Freddie!
Okay you got me. I thought is he listening to the same thing I am. I was literally getting pissed off at you. Seriously that was funny well done.😊🍻
Larnell Is a monster , and has a memory like a vault !!! He only arrived in the studio an hour before , cause he flew in from Toronto and his booked taxi didn't show up. He only went through this track on his own a couple of days before. It's master level playing , as good as it gets.
Hahhahaa,hahahhahahaa and haahhahaahhah. Legitimately fooled me in the beginning. Thanks again brother!
You bet Rod! HAHA
Worth noting that the entire audience was listening to a mix through headphones. Wild.
100%. Great innovation
you had me going there for a second. haha. absolutely LOVE this song.
This video back when it first hit the internet was hyped as "the keyboard player has broken space-time continuum" in social media. And for that once the hype was so true :)
I saw Cory Henry last year in Chicago and it blew my goddam mind. He has an organ and ripped an INSANE solo on a Moog sub-37. Wasn't as crazy as this one, but still full of so much talent and soul. He just pours his mind and soul through the keyboard, it is so fun to watch. Definitely one of the best soloists of all time
also watching videos of him playing the organ when he is 4 years old. Never looks at the keys and plays with more feeling and soul than most of us will ever be able to. Truly gifted.
Awesome Sam! Yup def one of a kind
@@samburck13 I’m also so amused by the fact that his four year old self is an identical of the full grown version.
Larnell Lewis is one of, if not the best, modern jazz drummers. period. (oh, and yes one of the TOP keyboard solos of this century)
They recorded this in Europe. They (were) from Denton, TX, but now they live all over the place (NYC, TX, Kansas, Canada, and beyond). I'm not sure how the crowd was chosen.
I know the guy (Colin Benders) who helped orginize and facilitate this recording together with his dad. (The guy notting his head on 3:23 if i'm not mistaking). Colin were classmates at the conservatory of The Hague. After school je went on to have a very succefull musical carreer in Utrecht. Together with his dad he founded Kytopia. A creative hub for like minded musical artist. This was a live recorded session in Kytopia. Sadly for me, I wasnt there....
Bruh I was so confused at first lol.
And when you said you weren’t feeling the bass I wanted to reach thru my screen like WHAT….NOBODY IS NOT FEELING THE BASS
Good one man
🤣🤣👌
Lots of great solos. I’ll pick the B3 solo in “Roundabout” by Yes for top 5 status.
Great choice! In terms of old-school solos I also very much like this moog synth one from 50 years ago: th-cam.com/video/TQQdYokbp4E/w-d-xo.html 😀
Larnell is a master of time and space.
You should check out the Snarky Puppy DVD interviews if you haven't already. Lol....
you got me! was like whose this berk 😂😂
LOL!
Yes, definitely one of the top 5 keyboard solos. On a freakin' cheap KingKorg!
Love it Leon!
You almost had me. About cursed you out hahahaha. Well done man.
Great reaction!
Thank you!! 😁
"They had us in the first half I'm not gonna lie"
HAHA!
I always wonder what Miles Davis would say about this song/solo. Snarky Puppy can hold it down with any jazz powerhouse.
The people in that crowd how lucky .. this is genius level playing
Please react to some King Crimson! Something with Bill Bruford on drum duty. Maybe "Indiscipline" or "Larks' Tongues in Aspic Pt 3"!
Thanks John!
You got me top dude. Hahah! That was great!
Larnell Lewis deserves a solo on this track
I think it's already perfect Julian!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I agree.
Snarky Puppy is a genre
True Pat!
So if you are wondering about the recording process for this song, I've done a bit of research, you may already know this though. The album was recorded over a few days in the studio, playing the entire album each time. The songs were selected for the video from which they thought was the best take. I'm not sure but they may have played songs more than once a night, but I've seen that there were at least 4 takes for lingus. You could buy tickets to the studio session, which got those people in. There is a dvd that I think has all the takes of each song over the recording process, but I'm not entirely sure about that.
I just did a check and the dvd doesn't have all the takes of each song, but a few different takes of some songs.
Oh great info Gilbert!!! THANK YOU
Great stuff man
Alright, you got me 😂
🤣👌
I come back here often just to reminisce about the snooty jazz character you created lol. I love this so much 😂
HAHAHAHAHA
LARNELL LEWIS LEARNED THE HOLE ALBUM - DURING THE FLIGHT TO THE RECORDING - THEY HAVEN'T
MET BEFORE THE RECORDING.
it's a studio in Sweden Right? These are all Swedish folks. Nate Worth and Larnell are mu favorite percussion/ drummer duo, ever. Just and only this performance.
Wow glad i saw the comments before clicking off 😂
HAHA Sorry Brad!
Once you got into the real review, that “oh!” And temple run at the end of the first phrase had me worried if you’d even make it through this song.
HAHAHA
you´re playing a dangerous game in this video
in the beginning i mean :P
HAHA! Just a bit of fun :) It's obviously insanely good
LOL! Yeah, I totally fell for that joke, too! At least for the first minute or so 😄👍 I'd heard the name 'Snarky Puppy' already quite some time ago but listened to their actual Music for the first time only a few weeks ago, when their 'Tiny Desk' show was in my YT recommendations. A friend who'd already heard and also seen them play live here in NZ suggested I'd also check out Vulfpeck, whose Music somewhat goes in the same direction, just more funky rather than jazzy. Their bassist Joe Dart's name in particular has been popping up everywhere around me recently, too. Snarky Puppy are more my cuppa, though 🙂
Yay you did it! Great impression of a full on jazz snob too.
How did I get here so late? I was keeping an eye out for it and everything.
I didn't mean to make fun of anyone.
I went to jazz school so feel I can take the p*** a little!
BAHAHAHAHA
@@AndrewRooneyDrums was it like the Jazz school in the film Whiplash?
You HAD me. @1:59 I was about to dive and defend these guys in comments. You HAD ME. Lol.
