I think Chris and Edgar are both bat shit crazy brilliant I usually fall asleep listening to them while my husband is in ICU. Thank you for the music it soothes me
this is what you get if you search realy really hard to find good music...amazing stuff...its beyond bluegrass/jazz/country/Irish or anything you care to mention..............fab
On the surface, this could be any two of thousands of mandolin and bass players--but the technical perfection and expressiveness show that here are two of the best players in the world. Beautifully done!
At 1:52 Meyer picks the E string with his left hand, at the same time as he starts the bow stroke, to make sure the sound comes immediately. Very interesting!
Are there any more videos in this setting?? I love when Chris and Edgar go duo. Best of both high and low ranges. Plus a truly gorgeous setting. They surely had to have recorded more than one song...
+Rescued & Reconciled absolutely! I love the album, I was just wondering about video, because this is exceptional. The album is fantastic though. Chris and Edgar are both so delicate yet vigorously passionate.
+Rescued & Reconciled I guess it gives reason to the name "Why Only One?" haha. I would think they brought all the equipment out, and have it set up - why not record a couple tunes in this incredible setting? I love it, just want more! Haha
This vid is incredibly impressive. Not a single thing to critique. Cudos to filming/audio crew's capture on this too! It is SO nice to see how Edgar is aging too, it's like seeing an old friend after many years!
Great music. Well recorded, lot's of passion. I think this is a wonderful recording. Too much camera movement to watch. I had turn off the monitor to enjoy it. Thank you very much for uploading this.

Musicians that are clearly outstanding in their field (of music). Sorry, I couldn't resist.
But, how do we know that it's their field?
OH MY GOD :D you win!!
That should read "Who are clearly, out, standing in their field." Ha, ha! ;b
If you didn't say this, I was going to.
Mountainous, monumental talents!
I was really lucky to see one of Edgar Meyers concerts AND meet him backstage
One of the best bassists alive, that solo 3 minutes in was so killer
IKR, the solo was insane!!
I think Chris and Edgar are both bat shit crazy brilliant I usually fall asleep listening to them while my husband is in ICU. Thank you for the music it soothes me
I love music, but it rarely moves me. That being said I don't even know where I am now it moved me so much.
You're an enigma
I’ve been listening to Meyer at least 40 years. He never disappoints.

This is my most favorite Chris Thile film, ever. I find I keeping coming back to this performance, a Bluegrass Situation jem.
Am I the only one who watch this every single day?
Two masters at work.
Can you imagine if we had video of Socrates teaching a class. That is the blessing bestowed on us by these two.
Thank you.
I didn't know Socrates was in a bluegrass band...
+Jason Baldwin He wasn't, actually not many people know that but he was a Greek philosopher.
Nickel Greek
Yeah👍
Yeah, like the Feynman Lectures
Meyer makes think of an older Mark Rufalo. The Hulk on the double bass! haha! I love those guys, love this channel.
Look at that scenic view. Wow!
Heavenly, mountain music. Phenomenal.
The land scape reminds me of, when as a child we used to visit my grandmother who lived quite near Glenfinnan in scotland
The ENERGY is remarkable powerful bursts of passion for music. This is powerful hypnotic and has a message.
My wife and I just witnessed a flawless performance of this piece and many others by this amazing duo at the Chicago symphony center!
3:19 My new favorite fretless Bass trick. Thanks !!!! WOW !!!!!
Great playing, of course, but I have to commend the camera work and audio quality, too. Very well done!
That would be Mason Jar Music. They're good.
The choice of environment was also acoustically ideal.
chirs is an absolute madman! what an amazing style of playing.
My two favorite instruments. The bass and the mandolin.
Two of the greatest in the world, together. Thank you. Lord, for this. I saw them together in concert playing this - best concert I've ever seen.
Chris Thile's Mandolin playing is incredible... But watching Edgar Meyer play Double Bass is something else.
One of the greatest music videos I've ever seen. Wish there was more like this! Brings me back to my childhood at Strawberry music festival :(
Bit of a strange thing to comment on but I love Edgar Meyer's dress sense. Ultimate old-school dad outfits and they look great on him.
Your best friends dad and she never knew why you were always over there. ❤😊 He was just that kool musician dad all the kids just loved.
best recording studio in the world!
Two legends performing in an amazing location--love it!
that's about as raw as it gets and a perfect setting
What the actual ???? - this is some amazing talent - first picked up on Chris Thile through his collaboration with Brad Mehldau.
I discovered this song years ago and I still love it to this day,it takes me to a place far away...thank you Chris and Edger for this master piece
Outstanding in their field!
At 1:52 Meyer picks the E string with his left hand, at the same time as he starts the bow stroke, to make sure the sound comes immediately. Very interesting!
One of the most honest and organic videos such a great tone and feel. The simple melody is superb!!
So fluid. Great sound engineering, too. In an open field? Am I imagining this?
God I love your music Chris!
Daaaaamn. That was so awesome in so many ways.
I love this one, it's so beautiful I always imagine hiking while listening to it.
The synchrony they have and the dynamic they posses is amazing
Brilliant!
I never get tired of this
what is there really, to Dislike about this? Way to go guys. Bringing a lovely fun slant to this. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Very nice guys! Thank you for the passion...
Amazing performance and amazing production. I really hope there is going to be more of these.
Again, I say, brilliant!
unreal talent omg
Beautiful!
Wish I was there in that field listening to that music. ⛺🎶
What a setting!
I must go to Telluride, CO.
my uncles played bluegrass ; this is jazz - of the best kind
I find this very inspiring. Beautiful.
Excellent in a very unique kinda way.
Thanx
Love the backdrop...
Two amazing musicians! Superb scenery!
Amazing song and video. Wow.
This is just beyond amazing
Meyer's solo at 3:01 is so soulful! This tune has been in my head--along with most of the tunes, really--since I received the new album. Bravo! :D
Superb!!
Are there any more videos in this setting?? I love when Chris and Edgar go duo. Best of both high and low ranges. Plus a truly gorgeous setting. They surely had to have recorded more than one song...
+Josh Elmore they have an album together Bass & Mandolin
+Rescued & Reconciled absolutely! I love the album, I was just wondering about video, because this is exceptional. The album is fantastic though. Chris and Edgar are both so delicate yet vigorously passionate.
+Josh Elmore well said. I wish I new the answer too....
that is a cool setting
+Rescued & Reconciled I guess it gives reason to the name "Why Only One?" haha. I would think they brought all the equipment out, and have it set up - why not record a couple tunes in this incredible setting? I love it, just want more! Haha
+Josh Elmore I was laughing about that with the name too :D
Edgar Meyer você é perfeito
As good as it gets!
I love it.
I wish I could like it twice.
Looks like old Robert Redford film footage.
Sounds killer !
A bit of Jeremiah Johnson - would love to hear these guys' take on the soundtrack to that
Awesome.
Fantastic! Great stuff.
This vid is incredibly impressive. Not a single thing to critique. Cudos to filming/audio crew's capture on this too! It is SO nice to see how Edgar is aging too, it's like seeing an old friend after many years!
Honour your heavenly father
Green and Grey is my favorite Nickle Creek song.

Nice! I enjoyed this.
I feel like this could have been a scene in A River Runs Through It.
Wonderful!! :)
Happy president day from holston vally high school 1956 4:02
Thanks god for stuff like this.... What a fuckin' wonderwonderwonderfull world
Love it
The fact he just starts another bpm and slides right back into the previous one is very interesting.
A good tune is second to none! ;-)
Perfection
How the hell did they get that sound quality? You'd think that recording outside in an empty field would give you nothing but wind interference
Mat Grinnell no shotgun mics. what you see is what you hear.
And im clockin in too 2:35
I want that bass.....
Knees pumpin 2:46
Lots of snow there.
haha I just love Chris's face my orchestra teacher showed us this song just so u a know I'm a bass player ;^} ♡ ☆
Anyone know where I could purchase sheet music for the mandolin to this tune? Transcribing it would be a beast! Thanks!
No doubt, blah!
+dennis roberts "brah"
Wow wow wow.
Gorgeous
And stayin in a good bit 4:12
The Bluegrass Situation Would love to know what kind of sound equipment you are using for those outdoor videos.
As good as it gets
Because one is all I want....
life goals
badass
Great music. Well recorded, lot's of passion. I think this is a wonderful recording. Too much camera movement to watch. I had turn off the monitor to enjoy it. Thank you very much for uploading this.
