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!
Am I the only one who watch this every single day?
I was really lucky to see one of Edgar Meyers concerts AND meet him backstage
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 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’ve been listening to Meyer at least 40 years. He never disappoints.
One of the best bassists alive, that solo 3 minutes in was so killer
IKR, the solo was insane!!
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
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.
Heavenly, mountain music. Phenomenal.
My wife and I just witnessed a flawless performance of this piece and many others by this amazing duo at the Chicago symphony center!
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.
best recording studio in the world!
My two favorite instruments. The bass and the mandolin.
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
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!
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 :(
chirs is an absolute madman! what an amazing style of playing.
This is my most favorite Chris Thile film, ever. I find I keeping coming back to this performance, a Bluegrass Situation jem.
I feel like this could have been a scene in A River Runs Through It.
Two amazing musicians! Superb scenery!
I never get tired of this
Fantastic! Great stuff.
Daaaaamn. That was so awesome in so many ways.
Beautiful!
One of the most honest and organic videos such a great tone and feel. The simple melody is superb!!
This is just beyond amazing
Chris Thile's Mandolin playing is incredible... But watching Edgar Meyer play Double Bass is something else.
Superb!!
Outstanding in their field!
Meyer makes think of an older Mark Rufalo. The Hulk on the double bass! haha! I love those guys, love this channel.
What a setting!
I find this very inspiring. Beautiful.
The synchrony they have and the dynamic they posses is amazing
that's about as raw as it gets and a perfect setting
Amazing song and video. Wow.
Two legends performing in an amazing location--love it!
Again, I say, brilliant!
Very nice guys! Thank you for the passion...
I love this one, it's so beautiful I always imagine hiking while listening to it.
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
The land scape reminds me of, when as a child we used to visit my grandmother who lived quite near Glenfinnan in scotland
Excellent in a very unique kinda way.
Thanx
unreal talent omg
Amazing performance and amazing production. I really hope there is going to be more of these.
Wish I was there in that field listening to that music. ⛺🎶
Nice! I enjoyed this.
God I love your music Chris!
The ENERGY is remarkable powerful bursts of passion for music. This is powerful hypnotic and has a message.
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.
As good as it gets!
A good tune is second to none! ;-)
Honour your heavenly father
I love it.
my uncles played bluegrass ; this is jazz - of the best kind
Wonderful!! :)
Awesome.
3:19 My new favorite fretless Bass trick. Thanks !!!! WOW !!!!!
I must go to Telluride, CO.
Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it
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
very good!!!! ad maiora!!!!!
Edgar Meyer você é perfeito
The fact he just starts another bpm and slides right back into the previous one is very interesting.
Love the backdrop...
WOW MY GOODNESS
Perfection
What the actual ???? - this is some amazing talent - first picked up on Chris Thile through his collaboration with Brad Mehldau.
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
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!
I wish I could like it twice.
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.
Gorgeous
Wow wow wow.
Omma go off
Thats on point im savin itin a jar
So fluid. Great sound engineering, too. In an open field? Am I imagining this?
Because one is all I want....
As good as it gets
life goals
haha I just love Chris's face my orchestra teacher showed us this song just so u a know I'm a bass player ;^} ♡ ☆
Thanks god for stuff like this.... What a fuckin' wonderwonderwonderfull world
Someone should hire them for a movie soundtrack
badass
I want that bass.....
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.
Knees pumpin 2:46
I smell fantastic
Happy president day from holston vally high school 1956 4:02
Lots of snow there.
Good
Wow

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
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!
Oh shit thank you chris 0:11
I wrote you a poem:
Lifting from the pressure cooker
Fruits of labor hold heat,loose lids
Smiles loom each pop sound in cooling
Lid seal to confirm this season
Only in winter snows I look upon
The colors/patterns thru this jar
Mother cracks one and dinner taste
Summer again in winter held at bay
Warmth from the stove to sleep this
Santa may come tonight to my sock fill
Those green beans will be hard to top
Lump of coal,lump of coal,lump of coal
Clicking my heels three time to wish-(Steele aka radioimproved)
The Bluegrass Situation Would love to know what kind of sound equipment you are using for those outdoor videos.
