Well there’s no band on stage, but to make this kind of stuff happen he needs some serious sound engineers! He should give them some credit! This is not a wonder, it is very intelligent musical use of technology like harmonizers etc. And there is no way he does this all on his own!
Jacob has jumped right over the 21th century into the 22nd century! He is the perfect fusion of musical brilliance with musical electronics technology.
This is pure genius. Wow. He's so free. What may happen once in a blue moon while practicing at hope (that moment when you transcend your thoughts and just allow the music to come out of you) he is able to do with regularity. It's unbelievable.
Your comment reminds me of an interview with guitarist Steve Vai when they asked him if he could define musical 'genius',and if he had ever met any musical geniuses. He said that when he is working on music or guitar playing, occasionally, out of nowhere, a moment of inspiration would hit him that took him beyond what he normally experienced musically. He said his definition of a genius was someone who could CONTROL those moments, call them down on demand. (He said Frank Zappa could do this.) This kid surely fits that definition...thank god he has such shitty dress sense or he would be ready for world domination ;-)
Yes I agree with SuperXpress2 - try not to compare yourself with others - you will ALWAYS be ahead of some AND behind others on the road of your musical journey : )
Damm... I've seen Jacob in concert live 4 times, hold a BA degree in Music Composition and I'm no Spring chicken and EVERY SINGLE time I hear anything he does I'm simply shocked how amazing it is. Perfection... so inspiring to watch and hear what he does. This video performance at Lincoln Hall is especially good.
When people see something amazing like this and say "Ill never be you" I think its sad because you're making the choice that you'll never try to be as amazing as you think that is. If you practiced as hard as fucking possible to be something like it, you would never be that thing but you would be your own thing and still be something incredible! You may physically never have someones voice, but that's just one thing he's creating here. Theory, technique, self expression, those are all things you can develop. Find your thing.
Nah. I just saw him and gave up. I don't have the talent and most of all I do not have the willpower to do anything near this or even something mediocre. I'll just enjoy the work of real artists.
@@rodriguezelfeliz4623 and what's wrong with being half-mediocre at music. i think if you make your goal achieving this great big thing, you will face many struggles. if you do music for music's sake, that's a different game
Thank you that you mentioned it. I adore this intro too, I think the real talent of jacob is hidden inside his intros. This particular intro is so different from everyting that i have ever listened to, I tend to unconsciously remember these intros, it doesn't go away, it is permanently in my head .
Jacob Collier combines everything I love about so many different styles of music. It's crazy how he can make so many genres flow together this seamlessly.
Metashrew it's easily born from his love for music. He's so passionate about it and if you do something your passionate about you will have that same energy.
Did that other guy delete his comments? I got a notification for another but now they're gone. Apparently we're so disgusting he couldn't bear to even be on the same thread
I bet he does. I'm fairly confident that his performances are only semi scripted and a good chunk of what he does is a reflection of his talent and musical knowledge. he is a gifted man
Timliu92 there are times when he messes up. But like... he finds a way to make it even more epic. When he was performing I Wish, his harmonizer wouldn’t work.... and I’ll just let you look it up and see what he did. It’s amazing
He dose but like every grate artist there are no mistakes just happy accidents. There are performances where you can see he’s uncertain of what he just played but he works around it and adapts it. He has unique understanding allowing him to know how to use any problem that comes his way
Just KILLING it on the harmonizer, Jacob! Classical musicians as parents+ no toys except for a room full of instruments+a lust for life*unlimited talent (squared) = Jacob Collier. ...I'm still working on the proofs, but I'm pretty sure my hypothesis is correct! ;)
pure genius. this generation of duke ellington, charlie parker, dizzy, miles john coltrane, michael brecker and all in between. amazing harmonic structure, voices, execution so good on several core instruments. then throw in the electronics, voice coder, the almighty computer, combined with flawless musical execution. ist time. my friend, jim maneri turned me onto jacob in 2014
0:34-0:46 includes such nice folk harmony. you really do bathe in suspension. And around 0:51 when it modulates in to gm11/D for a second. very nice and heavy.
So many negative comments are just "he's bad 'cause I don't like his music." You aren't entitled to enjoy all music. My guess is that you feel the need to comment because Jacob is playing some shit you haven't heard before, and that's sad.
What I find strange is that he is a teenager and so much of what he is into is the same stuff that I love as a geezer of 53. The Carpenters, Take 6, classic Stevie Wonder . Great for me because this kid is just amazing.
Has anyone ever heard of Keller Williams. This is like his child. Check Keller out before you check him out. Keller started this way before this kid ever was thought about I’m sure he was inspired by him
Aviv Resnick Absolutely. Music is as limitless as the universe. So much creativity can be acomplished in the world of music. Jacob is a perfect example of that. :)

Fine, I'll do it myself

definitely!!! He's a pioneer, he does things we do not even dream about. He's from the future :D

Yes
@@hakanozel6694 you are right, but where genius uses madness to build, madness uses genius to destroy.
The musician's musician
I'll never be you Jacob, and thats sad. But i'll practice more.
saugat paudel You'll never be Jacob Collier because we already have a Jacob Collier. Be Saugat Paudel instead and let your creativity loose. :P
Yes I agree with SuperXpress2 - try not to compare yourself with others - you will ALWAYS be ahead of some AND behind others on the road of your musical journey : )
But you can create your own groove
Since I discovered I just decided to give up and enjoy people with real talent and study
Damm... I've seen Jacob in concert live 4 times, hold a BA degree in Music Composition and I'm no Spring chicken and EVERY SINGLE time I hear anything he does I'm simply shocked how amazing it is. Perfection... so inspiring to watch and hear what he does. This video performance at Lincoln Hall is especially good.
Jacob is showing us what it's like to be in the mind of a creative genius.
Sounds like music from the 2070's

@@rodriguezelfeliz4623 as long you enjoy making music or playing music then it doesn't matter if it sucks
I probably won't get to the level Jacob is at, at least in the near future. But I'm still gonna try really fucking hard to get there regardless.
I agree that nothing should stop you to grow up, but.... This person really out of any standards
Just saw Jacob in Cincinnati last night with his band-- absolutely incredible show!! Supremely talented individual!
Same for me in Miami....blew me away with his brilliance.
I could listen to that intro a million times and it won't ever get boring.

Where the hell does Jacob get all that energy?
Red Bull
Metashrew it's easily born from his love for music. He's so passionate about it and if you do something your passionate about you will have that same energy.
^ That . . . and being only 23.
He has obviously a faster brain, u can see how his thought come faster to his mind than ours
cocaine
Sweet lord that last piano/dbass groove gets me every time. 555557 then the drums. Impossible to remain seated
When he came in with that quintuplet subdivision backbeat over the top of it I almost dropped my coffee
Yeah its super pretentious to know stuff about music and appreciate when it's done well. You caught me, kudos :)
So filthy
Did that other guy delete his comments? I got a notification for another but now they're gone. Apparently we're so disgusting he couldn't bear to even be on the same thread
Yeah, think they were removed. Poor guy, getting annoyed over shit like that
His ability to make me smile so genuinely every time I hear him play is insane
That intro gives me goosebumps!
straight up! so expressive
He just doesn't mess up
I bet he does. I'm fairly confident that his performances are only semi scripted and a good chunk of what he does is a reflection of his talent and musical knowledge. he is a gifted man
Just Kids improvisation is his super power
I bet he does, but he is on a way higher plane than all of us combined that we cannot notice - that is just how alien he is.

Absotively!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
🎶🎶🎶🎶💯
never heard anything as gorgeous as the first 17 seconds
So much gratefulness to the Master Architect for giving him the talent and for giving me the ability to enjoy this masterpiece...
Jan Hendrik Ponson is this god are you actually crediting god for this mans talent
Jordan Jones I believe it to be so bro...
nettils agree to disagree!! Time and effort mixed with genetic disposition really seems to be the cause for me
@@jordanjones6224 I mean if God created everything then he would be credited with that so technically this guy believes both, and so do I!
I think he's actually a genius.
I wouldn't use this performance as evidence for that, but I agree - I think he's a genius too.
@@stringvest100 tf you mean? there's a million levels of genius in this video
Took me ages to realize that he accidently loops the audience cheering when the song starts
Haha I heard it too XD.
Ain’t nothin’ figurative/ accidental about it, imo. Sounds fresh, just like his cut
I could listen to jacob collier all day
He heals the deepest part of my damn soul every time i hear him play goddamn
Swear to fucking god man it’s insane
Oh. My. GOD!!! You are the embodiment of music!!! DANG!!!!
This is absolutely incredible, a real absolute pitch, and full control of the rhythm.
Cor... bravo! I burst into tears of joy by the time he got on the double-bass. And this isn't really my bag, it's just SO GOOD
My jaw just hit the floor! I can't believe you just did all that in one song! Genius and raw energy! I gotta watch that again right now!
pure genius. this generation of duke ellington, charlie parker, dizzy, miles john coltrane, michael brecker and all in between. amazing harmonic structure, voices, execution so good on several core instruments. then throw in the electronics, voice coder, the almighty computer, combined with flawless musical execution. ist time. my friend, jim maneri turned me onto jacob in 2014

Incredible talent......beautiful harmonies, energy, diversity...... mind boggling.
When people say music is dead, I say Jacob Collier
That bass drum polyrhythm at 8:29. Just glorious.
It's actually a polymeter!
4:42 this bass line is my fav of all time omg
I think that this is an astonishing team work. Jacob does an incredibly great music and the engenieer mixes it up in the fly
this guys is lit
This guy reminds me of pentatonix but he's just doing it on his own. like. DUDE?!?!?
The first two minutes of this are so amazing, beautiful and musically genius that it brings tears to my eyes and sends chills down my spine.
Simply put, this young man is a musical genius!
When he is just on a way higher plane than all of us mortals combined that we cannot tell if he messed up even once or not.
unbelievable. I will now go play piano for the next four hours. You are an absolute inspiration.
This is sick... music talent runs extremely deep!
So many negative comments are just "he's bad 'cause I don't like his music." You aren't entitled to enjoy all music. My guess is that you feel the need to comment because Jacob is playing some shit you haven't heard before, and that's sad.
that is the most stunning thing I've seen in my life.. incredible..
This is music you can't get tired of. No matter how many times you listen there is always something new.
at 9:43, you can hear someone say, in shock, "WTF" hahaha
NA Sound 😂😂😂😂
big same 🤣🤣😂
What I find strange is that he is a teenager and so much of what he is into is the same stuff that I love as a geezer of 53. The Carpenters, Take 6, classic Stevie Wonder . Great for me because this kid is just amazing.
He's 23 . . . but still . . .
I'm 24 and into same stuff. I think this era is kinda an homage of the boomers with a bit more new tambres involved
This is the future of fine music right there
1 year has past and this song is still awesome
É um gênio!... Não há nada mais moderno e criativo.
that bass voice part is to die for
Oh Lordy, what an incredible talent! Came here because of Justin Hawkins (rides again) channel.
I discovered this guy and I i ve been chocked
I think my brain just EXPLODED!! WOW!!
We are not alone 👾
It's too good to be true !!
I'm exhausted. Clearly Jacob has a different brain chemistry than the rest of us. Just stunning.
Prince is smiling down on this cat 4 SURE!💯👍
Seen yesterday 14/11/2017 in Barcelona -------------> simply amazing!!!!
Jakob,you are the best and the most gifted musician
6:22 Woobabababauu
De qué planeta viniste pibe!!
Martín Fernández La verdad que me encantaría saberlo
Es un genio
I watch this every day
Other planet...este pibe es de otro planeta!!!!!!!!!
How dare you not show the applause after 10 minutes of slaughtering.
Amazing 🤩
Jacob collier＋Anomalie is possible...?
I think that would be heaven on earth.
8:55 Cory Henry is that you???
ahah get out of this body
I have a theory, maybe Cory Henry and Jacob Collier share a mind but are different people? Separated before birth??????????? *Cue x-files music*
Hahaha
Te amo pibe.
2:45 Beautiful
Wonder what Stevie thinks of that???? The lads up there with Mozart, Beethoven in terms of musical genius, Mind Blowing : 0 )
monstrous, The guy is some crazy talent
Great but can he play the Triangle? Didn't see it.
😂
And the cowbell?
Absolute Genius! This is amazing! I forgot that I already liked it several times now haha
What happens at 4:00 ? The claps are evolving from quarters to sixteenths. 😯
0:46 i can't help to close my eyes while he's playing that
Amazing!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟🎤🎶🔥
He's gaining strength!
1:29
I love that drop 3:13
I feel bad watching this for free
Listening to this makes me feel like my whole head is being pushed right back into the chair
there are 3 different high levels:
the classical high level
the jazz high level
the jacob high level
Has anyone ever heard of Keller Williams. This is like his child. Check Keller out before you check him out. Keller started this way before this kid ever was thought about I’m sure he was inspired by him
7:12 is that even legal?
Aviv Resnick Absolutely. Music is as limitless as the universe. So much creativity can be acomplished in the world of music. Jacob is a perfect example of that. :)
Thank you for this!
hoaw incroyable , beaucoup de travail derriere qui se mérite
A little bit Spem in Alium, a little bit African choir, a little bit Jan Hammer... Bach...bloody hell!
Sooooo GOOOOOOOOOD !!!!!
that was incredible
perfection summed up in 9:58 minutes! 💡
I'm not even sure what just happened?! Did I dream that?
9:26 he's played piano like slaping percussion wtf
mind blowing!
Bravo jakob
IMPRESSIONANTE !!!
GENIAL !!!
STUNNING 😍🤩
INSANE
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥
Awesome!
