Literally chills every time. I just went yesterday to see the semis in Cambridge. I forgot who did this Version as well but was nowhere near as powerful and haunting. It was life
I still listen to this on a regular basis. I have never seen and heard a better acapella performance from a college group. The range, musicality, texture, and energy are just off the charts.
I've seen this probably 20 times and I still get CHILLS hearing Anthony's "Cheyenne" and his "Writing's On the Wall" solo. You all definitely deserved that ICCA championship
God every time I come back to this arrangement I just wanna smash that like button til it’s nothing but a bloody stump on a lump of glass that was my phone.
All so good, but damn do they shine when they pull back. CREEKS, Intro, and the ending of Writing's on the wall are just so clean. Anthony gives me chills.
That arrangement of creeks is everything you could ask for: powerful, spine tingling and perfectly executed. Huge power and props that you kept the coreo simple and strong which only adds to the perfection. To hear the notes echo through the auditorium, you can tell people were on the edge of their seats. So, so, so well done.
After pentatonix, I thought no one could ever even get CLOSE. I only have ever gotten chills with an accapella group with pentatonix and I got chills basically through all 12 minutes. I love you guys so much you are amazing
I think pentatonix are amazing for a group of five singers. But the Nor’Easters have the avantage to be more numerous, also they manage to come up with very original and emotional arrangements!!!
Just discovered 3 weeks ago. There's too much exceptional to address without an essay, but the echo effect at 6:38, the descending chord at 7:49, the note at 8:28, and Anthony's super-note at the end with the whole group... 😳 I can't stop rewatching this performance.
I'm still trying to figure out how Shams and Elliot fit five whole and totally fulfilling songs into one 12 minute set. I have never been this impressed in my life. This is pure magic, I swear. Amazing job, all of you.
Charlie Schwartz I'll admit I never learned her name, but after multiple plays of this song, I refer to her as "Ding girl" and she is so freaking talented. Lol
As good as this whole routine was and as amazing as the first tenor is... creeks with that bass ... oh my god! Possibly the single best piece of vocal harmony I’ve ever heard. I can only imagine it is down to not only an incredible arrangement but a coming together of voices that just Work so perfectly together as a sound. The world needs that Creeks as a track. Don’t get me wrong Bon Iver still owns this song as Vernon has so much feeling that it even comes through the midi controlled vocals but this is different ... this is a demonstration of perfected technical vocals performed at the highest possible level. Thank you
When anthony starts hitting those notes my whole body just starts tingling. his voice is angelic. and I think it was Sofia with that crazy high note. together are truly amazing.
This set and Faux Paz 2016 ICCA set are my two favorite acapella videos possibly of all time. More than just the perfection of the solos, arrangements, background, dynamics, vocal percussion, choreography, etc... the real magic for me comes from the pure emotions that everyone expresses. Especially at 8:28 when you see the two girls in front, one belting her heart out and the other with a powerful, almost angry expression, you really feel the power of the songs because you can see it plainly on their faces. That moment alone brings me nearly to tears and makes me crave and miss the adrenaline and energy of vocal performance.
The is my dose of amazement since "What Now" Nor'Easters 2015 BON3R performance. Creeks is definitely a highlight of this performance. Such an amazing group, through and through, year after year.
just discovered this now.. creeks = full body chills.. amazing rendition of an even more amazing original.. so many things to unpack between both... comes down to both = perfection
I remember seeing a video of 715 - CRΣΣKS from before the 2017 competition season. It looked like y'all were in a church or something? But I've been trying to find it. I was wondering if it was taken down. By the way, your arrangements are all GOLDEN.
That performance of 715 Creeks is incredible, I got chills! I'm super picky about Bon Iver covers but y'all nailed the emotional impact of it, so well done
I have no word for this OMFFGGGGG YOU ARE MY FAVORITE GROUP akhhh yess yess this is what we call ICCA winner yazzz RUPALLLL AND MEGHANNN you girls killed itt my lovely seniorrr akhhh 💗💗🖤🖤❤️💖💕💞💓
They’re just about as close to perfectly in sync as humanly possible and that Creeks arrangement is absolutely beautiful. Full of emotion and vocal subtleties. Oof. Yeah I cried.
Jesus fuck, their cOUNTERTENOR Fucking goals I'm curious if he sings in that range all the time or if he sings tenor and then jumps up when needed 13/10, wish I could do that
I've watched this 50 times now? one of the most impressive sets I have ever seen. Amazing voice control, bass/beatbox combo, and harmonic sync. The falsetto...I mean come on.
ok but literally where do I even start.... granted I am a very over emotional person but this shit brought me to tears, actual legit tears on my face. I knew you guys were good but holy shit, I was covered in goose bumps the entire time. I've never heard anything like it, I am shook. also please come to England
You guys are absolutely spectacular. The way you take advantage of what a cappella can do is a dream. I directed a group about 10 years ago, have always been an a cappella junkie -- you guys are the first group I've ever heard truly do justice to the art.
Creeks arrangement was literally on another level
I know, right? Blows my mind. lol
It's unbelievable.
Was skeptical....that version of Creeks was incredible and ballsy
Literally chills every time. I just went yesterday to see the semis in Cambridge. I forgot who did this Version as well but was nowhere near as powerful and haunting. It was life
Not gonna lie, I sweat a little.
ANTHONY HELD THAT NOTE FOR LONGER THAN I'VE BEEN ALIVE
Hahahahahahaha!!! Yes :D
I love this lol
Check out Dimash sinful passion ;)
I seriously feel bad for any other group that heard this for the first time at the ICCA. I would just be like "Yep, we lost." Wouldn't even be mad.
Hi gu
That’s exactly what happened when my group went up against them. It was a proud loss.
Just to help everyone out. Creeks starts at 3:20.
Sofia S thanks lol 😂
I still listen to this on a regular basis. I have never seen and heard a better acapella performance from a college group. The range, musicality, texture, and energy are just off the charts.
8:39 That Indian touch is just celestial! 😍
Anoop Surej Omg absolutely 😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭
Anoop Surej yasss my queen RUPAL slayyy all through the performance
They had an Indian touch in their transition to "Elastic Heart" in their 2016 set i think it was? It was also fire! Always stands out. Love em
the bass in creeks is insane...that arrangement never fails to get me choked up
losing it here
My a cappella group did this arrangement and I was on bass mic. It’s so cool to do
6 years have passed, this is still my favorite acappella performance.
Shock me every time when I come back to it.
I’m here too. I can’t get over it.
i cant believe he held that note for 22 seconds, jesus christ
5 measures, 20 beats. Great closer.
Go the distance by vocal spectrum their baritone (maybe tenor 2) holds a note for almost 30 seconds its wild
I've seen this probably 20 times and I still get CHILLS hearing Anthony's "Cheyenne" and his "Writing's On the Wall" solo. You all definitely deserved that ICCA championship
LITERALLY sAME every frugginfrakcinheckin time i listen to it i get chills
Only 20 times??? Those are rookie numbers XD
Still coming back to this almost 7 years later
That arrangement of creeks is AMAZING!!!
Reese Landis COULD NOT AGREE MORE
Thank you!
Elliott von Wendt will you be performing it as a single?
Please release a single version of it, it's absolutely beautiful
Elliott von Wendt pllzzz can you send me your arrangement of 715-Creeks??? I need it sooo bad and can't wait to try it with my friends!!
God every time I come back to this arrangement I just wanna smash that like button til it’s nothing but a bloody stump on a lump of glass that was my phone.
Okay. Maaaajor props to all the middle parts. I can only imagine the level of difficulty...
I NEED 715 - CREEKS AS A SINGLE IMMEDIATELY ❤❤❤ !!
....so what kind of breathing exercises y’all do 😂
Ashley Simmons omg my thoughts exactly !!! That stagger breathing life
My Weave. My edges. My Scalp.... ive been snatchedT bald.
GOD DAMN, that is a sublime arrangement of Creeks.
All so good, but damn do they shine when they pull back. CREEKS, Intro, and the ending of Writing's on the wall are just so clean. Anthony gives me chills.
Blows my mind. They are on a whole different level with this performance.
That arrangement of creeks is everything you could ask for: powerful, spine tingling and perfectly executed. Huge power and props that you kept the coreo simple and strong which only adds to the perfection. To hear the notes echo through the auditorium, you can tell people were on the edge of their seats. So, so, so well done.
So, should we all quit A Cappella? They've got us covered. This was EVERYTHING. Holy hellz
THAT GUY AT THE END THOUGH!!!! THE WHOLE GROUP!!!! LOVEEEEEE IITTTTTT
Okay I can die happy now because I got 715-CREEKS
Alex Van den Broek CAN'T AGREE MORE
Your bass and 1st tenor are legendary everyone is so talented tho
That creeks arrangement gave me chills about 5 whole separate times and now i'm crying i want to die listening to that song.
Anthony's "Cheyenne" got me goosebumps omg... this was amazing
“Intro” is one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed
Creeks = EPIC. Start at 3:22 and make sure you're sitting down.
Y'all should release Creeks as a single !!! I'm in love.
ANTHONY’S HIGH NOTES ARE HIGHER THAN MY GRADES
watching this now vs. in 2017: intro is still an unreal arrangement change my mind
After pentatonix, I thought no one could ever even get CLOSE. I only have ever gotten chills with an accapella group with pentatonix and I got chills basically through all 12 minutes. I love you guys so much you are amazing
Jack Quinby honestly I think this group is better than Pentatonix
Gabby Olsen but this one has more than twice as much members compared to pentatonix. Probably thats why
I think pentatonix are amazing for a group of five singers. But the Nor’Easters have the avantage to be more numerous, also they manage to come up with very original and emotional arrangements!!!
@@morganrouzies6198 i gotta agree on that. Pentatonix is getting more and more mainstream (which i dont like)
@@morganrouzies6198 their chords can be thicker which gives them the depth to be able to pull off arrangements like creeks
there are tears flowing from my eyes because of creeks, literal perfect choral arrangement and an amazing song choice
Just discovered 3 weeks ago. There's too much exceptional to address without an essay, but the echo effect at 6:38, the descending chord at 7:49, the note at 8:28, and Anthony's super-note at the end with the whole group... 😳 I can't stop rewatching this performance.

ANTHONY SINGING CHEYANNE GIVES ME CHILLS I COULD NEVER
I can not get over the transitions between the songs they are unbelievable! Especially the transition to Writings on the Wall. Absolutely amazing!
I NEED THAT 715-CREEKS ARRANGEMENT IN MY LIFE!
To the girl in the front who hits the high C#6 at 8:28...... holy....... who are you and where did you learn how to disguise your wings so stealthily?
Charlie Schwartz I'll admit I never learned her name, but after multiple plays of this song, I refer to her as "Ding girl" and she is so freaking talented. Lol
Ok, her name is Sofia.
@@Jroe206535 Sofia who?
@@YouWillGetThereBuddy Sofia Berg :)

Listening to this on an endless loop. Easily the best a capella I've ever heard.
I will not be okay until this hits 1 million. who's with me?
I'm always trying to share this
When anthony starts hitting those notes my whole body just starts tingling. his voice is angelic. and I think it was Sofia with that crazy high note. together are truly amazing.
i will never be able to get over that delirium intro...
I really wish I hadn't discovered this. I'll be watching it 100 times a day from now on.

Such an amazing group, through and through, year after year.
If we don't get these songs on iTunes I'm gonna be real mad
just discovered this now.. creeks = full body chills.. amazing rendition of an even more amazing original.. so many things to unpack between both... comes down to both = perfection
Its 2018 and still cant move on with this masterpiece guyss i miss rupal and meghan since then 😢😢
I love Meghan and Sofia on the high notes, such a huge range.
And Anthony is Writings on the wall and Cheyenne wow!!!
Who is the singer to the left of Anthony, the girl with the black skirt? Her voice is phenomenal!!
@@jeihk3796 That would be Meghan
My all-time favorite Acapella Group!
Yesssss babies you betta
Lord Shams, please do an arrangement of Third Eye by Florence + The Machine this year! I'd die.

I would pay to see and hear them LIVE! omg I CAN'T GET ENOUGH. GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER OMG
This is the best set I’ve ever seen
That performance of 715 Creeks is incredible, I got chills! I'm super picky about Bon Iver covers but y'all nailed the emotional impact of it, so well done
Amazing arrangement for 715-Creeks. Hauntingly beautiful.
about a hundred views on this are mine and I have no regrets. Will definitely add about a thousand more ❤
With you on that one!!
words just aren't enough to describe how wonderful this band is...the power of the human voice
anthony is one of those EPICALLY amazing singers. i'm in awe every time.
megan biles his voice is nothing short of angelic and he’s completely adorable to boot! His range and phrasing are both other-worldly.
Creeks was so so so good, had tears in my eyes! ♥️
My favorite acapella set EVER
CREEKS!!! OMG AMAZING chills the whole time
I have no word for this OMFFGGGGG YOU ARE MY FAVORITE GROUP akhhh yess yess this is what we call ICCA winner yazzz RUPALLLL AND MEGHANNN you girls killed itt my lovely seniorrr akhhh 💗💗🖤🖤❤️💖💕💞💓
They’re just about as close to perfectly in sync as humanly possible and that Creeks arrangement is absolutely beautiful. Full of emotion and vocal subtleties. Oof. Yeah I cried.
It’s been over 7 years and I still come back to this performance. At this point, at least 4,000 of those views come from me alone 😂
Anthony's voice is absolutely mind blowing.
This is the best goddamn thing I've ever seen for real!
thinking about when this absolutely shook the culture. we weren't ready for this.
How has this not reached in the millions ? Best performance ever would be an understatement.
Jesus fuck, their cOUNTERTENOR
Fucking goals
I'm curious if he sings in that range all the time or if he sings tenor and then jumps up when needed
13/10, wish I could do that
I've watched this 50 times now? one of the most impressive sets I have ever seen. Amazing voice control, bass/beatbox combo, and harmonic sync. The falsetto...I mean come on.
I always rewatch this and get chills. Idk how this isn't bigger one youtube. Amazing.
Writings on the wall performance is my ultimate favorite!!!
Got chills listening to 715-Creeks. You guys never disappoint!
the soprano at the end holy shit
Yes Anthony! :)
How do I like this a thousand times?
ok but literally where do I even start.... granted I am a very over emotional person but this shit brought me to tears, actual legit tears on my face. I knew you guys were good but holy shit, I was covered in goose bumps the entire time. I've never heard anything like it, I am shook. also please come to England
What even hows it possible to be this great?
Everyone: Sam Smith is an amazing vocalist
Anthony: sings his song even better, a half step higher
Omg. This
10:46 fucking flawless switch, I'm forever in awe
been listening to this for 2 years....still so good
And 4 years on now I still come back for the vocals and Elliot's arrangements.
Is it possible to fall in love with a voice? Because Anthony Rodriguez you sound smooth af
Had this in loop for the past 24hrs. This is mind blowingly spectacular. Had continuous chills!
Oh my EFFING god!!! I've seen an audience member's recording of this and this version and FML both are flawless!!!!
Lauren Victoria i want to see their performance at the icca too
This 100000% the best a capella set I have ever seen
You are all so phenomenal!!! Anthony's falsetto is so mindblowing!
the arrangement of creeks has me SHOOOOOK. shook.
RYANS CHOREOGRAPHY IS SPOT ON.
You guys are absolutely spectacular. The way you take advantage of what a cappella can do is a dream. I directed a group about 10 years ago, have always been an a cappella junkie -- you guys are the first group I've ever heard truly do justice to the art.
Is this Anthony guy even real??
My favorite parts:
Creeks 3:23 ->
Intro 7:52 ->
Writings on the Wall 8:47 ->
Well done!
INTRO OMFG that was crazy
Had to come back to this after their NACC 2019 performance... still one of my favorites
Alex DiGirolamo Same. They’re so amazing, it’s unearthly.
I literally actually can't. Physically spiritually and emotionally stroking out right now.
What did-?
This is actually one of the best ICCA sets I’ve ever heard
Revisiting for the hundredth time. The sound is so full. Props to you and the sound folks. Just fantastic.
