Had the pleasure of editing this video, so I've listened to this track countless times. Still can't get enough of it, well done Nate!
Great job with the editing as well by the way! I love doing work for jazz artists in general, it gives you so much room to play around with the cuts, I can't imagine how fun it must have been to work with artists of this calibre!
@@xeropulse5745 thanks! the opening drum solo was a treasure trove lol
🧠🔥 my mind is breaking right now listening to it
How did you get that gig?
@@HourglassSessions Absolutely! I had to pause it and go back so my partner could hear it too! It's beautiful!!
The bassist’s face every time Nate stretches those beats into syncopation purgatory is cracking me up 😂
Welcome to the Michael League experience lol
Syncopurgatory
Yes, Mike League eats this stuff for breakfast. He's enjoying every second of it. That face is just pure into it-ness.
The stank face.
He’s has a cool bass face. His playing and feel is top notch. I hear you though, I have a chuckle myself at him but he’s like that on most gigs. Infectious 👍🏼
this is the dream team
we're gonna need more of this trio man 😭😭
Agree 100%
Whenever Nate Smith asks on social media "Who should I do a show with?", I always have said Lionel Loueke and 'some bassist". I have been proven correct. I hope these guys get along and keep playing together for a decade.
I was there and I agree. I've been to about 100 shows in my life. This was top 5😀. Whish they had played for hours. I hope more videos come out of this because this was stellar.
Loving this synth guitar / bass version of this song. More Nate + Michael League please 🙏
Do you know what synth he’s using to get that sound? ❤
@@ChuckSilva I am also curious! The vibrato tone he has on the melody around 3:00 is sweet
@@jacobbass5276 league has been known for using an mxr octaver deluxe, although i don't know if it's the case in this instance. It's a combination of some sort of octaver pedal plus an envelope filter, hope someone can enlighten us on his exact setup
I think you’re right! I actually was wondering what the effects were for the guitar
@@jacobbass5276 I’m pretty sure Lionel is only using a Kemper so probably the built in fx. I’ve gotten similar sounds with my HX Stomp.
Bro, this is one heck of a crossover with Nate and Michael. Imagine if he got featured on a Snarky Puppy album in the future.
And sit Larnell out? That’s a tough call 😅
a boy can dream
Respect to the one guy in the audience who didn't give a shit and got his groove on
LOL, scrolling and looked up when I saw your comment just in time to see the guy grooving! Timing!
Imagine being addicted to a song and every version gives a different high......
Yes agreed
wow que interesante tienes razón men...ufff
1:26 - 1:47 Nate with the "Sucker MCs" quote/motif! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
was literally just looking to see if anyone else noticed !!
Holy shit, that's awesome! Didn't know the song, thanks!
Love when he's talking at the end and casually still playing something fairly complicated
I saw Lionel play with Herbie Hancock in London last week. What an absolute delight. His solos and improv skills are unlike anything I’ve heard. Such a creative player
Michael League will be a low key jazz legend.
Oui! Magnifique le groove!
Show us the full show, pleeeeaaaaaase !
Thank you Nate, you're the best
I'm crying! What was that? I've always liked this song, but this version is absolutely insane! WOW🤯🤯🤯
Dang! I love how there are no two exact versions of Skip Step. Every time I've seen it played, it's different! What an epic trio!
Oh, man... Skip Step yet again! A masterpiece reimagined with monster players! SOO GOOOOD!!
This was absolutely insane! Love seeing Michael's reactions to Nate's fills, his facial expression says it all!
I can't believe what I just heard. This is a match made in heaven. So glad I got to meet y'all through the course of the last year or so. I loved to see that the 3 of you are just as wonderful as a human being as you are as a musician. Nate, Lionel & Michael, you're always gonna be my heroes!
This is absolutely wonderful! How could the audience just sit there? I so appreciated that one guy who stood throughout the performance. He is me. 😂 I wouldn’t have been able to just stay in my seat.
Hi Andrea. Audiences are very still and quiet in Montreal but quite loud between songs LOL. It was an amazing performance. 😀
dead crowd, insane people lol
4:50 in the background one guy is dancing 🤣
That one guy dancing!!! ❤
@@andrewtregoning I love dancing clowns LOL
Mann!!!!! This trio!!!! 🔥🔥And Lionel Loueke on Guitar representing Bénin 🇧🇯 so well
the skip step groove always brings out the best of nate smith
Dude, I LOVE how Nate does his banter while keeping the backbeat going, reminds me of when I first watched videos of Bernard Purdie teaching and speaking in-time while keeping the groove going. Never gets old for me!
Except that Nate does in 17/8
Love it bro sewn right in the pocket
Skip step was my introduction to nate... And wow this absolutely blows me away all over again!
Everyone coming back together at 4:20 and it's so dope
Just an unbelievable amount of talent on that stage, tastefully and ever so musically displayed. Absolutely incredible.
shout out to the one man who stood up 6:22 definitely feeling it right there!
Супер супер супер супер😊🤓🔥👍💪🤟🙏
this is the best new jazz tune written in the last decade man nate smith is a living legend
More than other drum players, when I hear you playing, it's like I was hearing you talking. That's why I play and hear music instead of talking to say nothing. Thank you Nate.
Ive been a Deep Lover of Music in general my whole life and play percussion. Music is part of my entire day every day and 4:54 in and this has truly blown me away and also a bit embarrassed that I had not found you sooner. I know Michael from Snarky and also discovered the ridiculously talented Lionel right now also. This gave me goosebumps brother! You and we the viewers/listeners are so blessed! :)
I love the guy standing and dancing at 4:45
You can't go wrong with Nate
Need this version on all streaming platforms asap 🙏🏾
This was absolutely nasty. I literally stayed staring at my phone once the video ended. And rewatched once I came back to consciousness. I’ll be coming to this video often. Thank you.
One of my favorite drummers ever... Always's good for a second "repeat" and even that third time big eyes again. How Nate...?.Nate a great, beautiful drummer.
Michael league has so much space on stage. It’s weird. I’m here for it.
Man, the guy at 4:45 who just has to stand up when everyone is sitting, because it is too groovy.. -I can relate. This is out of this world
More of this trip please‼️ remarkable
That was pretty awesome 😳
Thank goodness the footage of the full concert will follow !
i really hope so.
one of the most incredible performances i've ever seen!
First day of vacation and I'm watching this in my home cinema with surround speakers
I don't know how much effort or the cost to release a live album is but I would buy this the day it came out.
I was there and an album would be mind blowing. Every song was stellar!
🔥🔥🔥🔥 One of the few odd meter songs that I enjoy listening to!!
Brilliantly crafted and what a trio!
Just saw this (but I'm saving it to savor at the end of the day). Thank you, Nate :)
Such a dream team
I love Nate smith, what skill and taste
Some really cool ideas and colors before the rest of the group even comes in! I remember seeing Lionel with Herbie Hancock way back when and I was mesmerized with some of the loops that he was working with. Amazing musicianship!
nate + lionel. amazing!!!
If my theory that smack stack and snare simultaneously on the backbeat (instead of just stack) costs extra, Nate must've been paid handsomely for this gig.
Insane!
Nate Smith & Michael League 🔥What a collab
Lionel Loueke channelling Cory Henry in that section... man, this all SO DAMN GOOD!
YES!
Pretty much the only word that came to mind when I saw this.
1:26... "I got a big long Caddy not like a Seville, and written on the right side it says dressed to kill" Run DMC Sucka MCs💯💯💯
My Man, go git it Nate!!!
cant stop watching....
Man, this kills on so many levels; feel, sound and intensity
Bravo guys -- exceptional performance. MInd-altering solo by Lionel. Nate and Lionel -- maybe you guys can come back to Miami for Michael League's GroundUP Music Festival (that you guys both know well) and reproduce this excellent performance. Mike, the bass tone is wonderful -- reminds me of The Curtain from Sylva 😎
Goodness gracious.
1:24 Old Skool grandmaster flash era rap beat. Amazing!
ah.. great ears
@@ropeadope99 indeed, my friend. Glad you noticed it too!
Think they were in the woods at some points, glad to see them out toward the end!! That's what makes for an authentic musical experience, chaos and order in one bite. Incredible musicians.
By the look on Michael's face you can tell it's really a pleasure working/playing with Nate.
Jesus Lord, Nate Smith rabbit hole activated!
😂same
Level 1000 "stank face" was initiated as a result of this groove master.
Nate, I don't know you, but I love you 😁. Your drumming never fails to put a big smile on my face.
I was there. I was amazed. I’m still amazed. Thanks for sharing a « man you had to be there » moment!
did that guy in the audience stand up the whole time?
@@stmonroe ha! No. I was too busy keeping my jaw on my face 😁
What a ride! First class ticket to groove land!
this song gets better every time I listen to it!
4/4 and 9/8. 4/4 9/8
AMAZING NATE, THE BEST DRUMMER
what a band gawd dang! I SAID GAWD DANG!
Best of the best...
The "Sucker Mc's" groove in the intro killed me... 😄 Nate, " si gruoss'" (like they say in Naples).
Lionel loueke 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
...Nate all day,
I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Probably best version so far
Let’s go!!
Incredible playing, loved this!
Yes sir brother Nate!!! This Cliff from RVA player!!!!!!!
I’ve been mentally dissecting Nate’s solo in the beginning and I learned an invaluable lesson in soloing - Nate was singing the bass-line in his head long before Cory came in. Wild how the first few listens of this you’d think his solo is organized chaos - but, it’s all groove.
“Drummer of the Year” is an understatement.
I totally feel the one guy standing up!
wow
What is this?!!!..my favorite drummer and bass player collabing?..is this a dream,more please ❤
That tiny little change in rhythm at 3:35 was insanely pleasing
Somehow this was even better than I thought it was going to be. WOW
please record this in the studio and release it..... this version craaaaazzzyyy
i need to hear the rest of this show. this is one of the best trios i've ever heard. this was stellar!!!!! MOARPLEEZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favourite drummer on the planet right now...
Gooooooodness gracious this is all kinds of insanity. ...in the *best* possible way. I don't know how you can count that business, I can "feel" it in my head/body and follow the leader. ...but to track that count consistently without dropping a beat for almost 8 minutes?? Just... bravo to you sirs, this is *fantastic.*
props to that one dude vibing in the crowd!
Rimshot Maniac!!!! Fast and silky smooth..... delicious bro
ridiculously sick performance! holy duck!!
Nate makes drumming look so damn cool!
this is frightening........ly amazing. a trio of monstahz
So clean amazing love it
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
I've listened to this so many time. You guys absolutely crushed this song. So great as a trio. Nate Smith is a lord of time, he could play his way through any time signature and groove the f*ck out of it.
Two words: EPIC & FUNNY
