One of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. Wonder how amazing it feels to jam on that level with another human. They've been jamming together so long they have such a connection, the kind of merging with another that is really only possible through music. Did I mention this tune kicked ass????
Ah, to have been there! Who cares about the cold? Watching these two mandolin virtuosos work their magic would get my blood going, snow notwithstanding.
This is an incredible thing to witness. I'm sure there are very, very few people who can challenge these two, and here they are face to face, doing just that. It must be such a joy for them. A challenge in harmony. I didn't realize Sierra could match this level of playing. Absolutely mindblowing.
Yes, maybe 5 years ago, I thought surely no one could be as proficient on the mandolin as Chris , but there you have it! I mean, was that even humanly possible?
Sierra was literally showcasing Chris. While Chris is one of my favs, I gotta hand this one to Sierra. Even Chris was blown away. This is why I am now a 100% Sierra Hull fan.
@@juliebladel658 Well, I know both of their styles, including when they're playing note for note at lightening speed. Guess it's a musician thing. Do you play?
I think it's fair to say that Chris is the most well-known Mando players when it comes to just the general populace and not the bluegrass crowd. However, I think that might change soon, because not only has Sierra made herself quite the name in the scene, but she has also started breaking into the mainstream. Seeing them together is such a delight. I think your observation is extremely accurate, she was showcasing him, which just makes me respect her more as a person. From what I've seen of them both in interviews, they are also two of the most genuine and enthusiastic people you could ever hope to meet. You can see in this performance how much they are both dedicated to the art itself, and it's just magnetic. I could rewatch this video all day.
@@ckillgore Agreed, they are both astounding players. Lately, I'm into her guitar playing even more than her mando playing. She writes very differently when playing guitar.
There is a video floating around of Chris playing with Sierra when she was about 10? I think? Backstage at a festival. They have known each other for awhile
As is always the case with Sierra and her partners - awesome performance! High energy! Thank You! :-) Reminds me of something more recent..... ua-cam.com/video/geoTayVEw4g/v-deo.html Make sure to go over to Terri's social media Sierra and wish Terri a happy birthday tomorrow! ua-cam.com/video/1StnQ9d273w/v-deo.html Just think if it would ever work to have the both of you back in WI @ the same time! :-)
Brought tears to my eyes.
I gotta believe that Chis is so jazzed to find another mandolinist who can play with him at this elite level. Mind-bogglingly great stuff.

To be able to play so fast and stay so perfectly in synch is something only the top prodigies can do, so here they are.
The two best mandolin players I can think of in one place!!! Fire!
Incredible! These two have got to record a duet album, just the two of them.
I'll buy it!

And she is steadily improving!!

The new Mandolin I just bought heard me listening to this and threw itself into the woodstove... 😶
Ha ha!
Just keep playing!
You two are one inspiration.
Y’all two need to go into a studio, hit record, and goof off for eight hours. It’d sell like GOLD. I could listen to this all day.
A joyous noise indeed from two stellar players and beautiful people
And mad respect for anyone that can hold their own with Chris as you did. Pure bliss.
This is some of the finest mandolin playing I've ever heard. Incredible!
Yes it is! Killer!
Out of this world! I guess the temp kept the fretboards from burning!

She seems to be getting almost impossibly good. I particularly like her tone, so clean,bright and pure it literally sparkles
@@brianvoith4235 Ditto.
Sooooo good! Please please please record an album together!!!! 🙏😁
Inconceivable.
What an awesome venue!!!
Unbelievable performance!!
Mando magic.
Hmm..Jessamyn's Reel if I recall correctly. Fabulous rendition.
Wow! that practicing with the drier sure paid off
Lol! Brilliant comment.
Literally exceeded my processing speed with this duet and blew out my musical cortex. This video murdered me
Who wouldn't stand in the rain to see this?
Wow! This is insane!
In the snow too??
Catch that?!?!
Is this the first time you guys played together? Absolutely legendary!
Search for the jam they did together when Sierra was 10!

I think we just witnessed 1.21 gigawatts at 88 mph
How are their fingers so damn limber at that temp?!?
Sounds a bit like phish's Famous Mockingbird
jeez the weather was terrible!
True but the music appears to have been awesome!!! :-)
As is always the case with Sierra and her partners - awesome performance! High energy! Thank You! :-)
