I like how Marco saves Miss Piggy's life at 10:45. Best drummer I've ever seen. Not to say that saving a toy pig from falling makes a great drummer, But MM is a great drummer, and he saved a pig from jumping off his rig while playing a gig. WOW
His improvised solos are generally better than I can even imagine, let alone contemplate playing. I mean, normally when I listen to some guitar music, I can close my eyes and add embellishments to the solo that I think would add a little oomph. Just not possible here (for me). The solo exceeds what I think is technically possible, goes in rhythmic and harmonic directions which I have not conceived, and generally leaves me stunned and grateful someone has dedicated themselves to such mastery.
I don't believe we'll ever see guitar playing on this level anywhere or any planet anytime" ever " . . The guy has truly exceeded anything I thought humanly possible..
what probably amazes me most is that in a little over 12 minutes they play the song in almost every major genre there is in western music. Rock, Metal, Jazz, Funk, Bebop, Shred and Kids Toys (lets just call it a genre)... They don't care, they just do it because it pleases them. They could probably rerecord every one of their albums in a different style and it would sound absolutely incredible. And i know it is a song but every performance feels like a jam over one previously agreed melody but everything else is random.
@@Cluless02 Dude, shut the fuck up. No music is ever made to "show off." Only an envious, old fuck who doesn't truly understand music would ever suggest applying pitiful human ethics to such an important and enigmatic thing as music.
@@Cluless02 i dont think you get this band these mucisians enjoy playing their instrument they enjoy to play "showing off" is having fun with your instrument and thats basically this band they dont play for the money but as i see it they play it because they love playing their instruments and you can see that with every album its such a dumb take to say they "show off" for their "ego" because thats literally just having fun with your instrument. its why you see most musicians smiling when they do a solo because they just enjoy playing it im a bit limited in my english sometimes so i dont know if i got my point across but yeah
Seeing these guys live is like being in the presence of Beethoven or Michaelangelo. I can't imagine what they must feel when playing, its gotta be an amazing high
I have never ever witnessed live music like this. Every performance they do of the song is completely different from the last. Immensely rare this day and age to get a single musician on stage half as talented as these three, let alone three at the same time.
+Rick Rogers I concur Rick...every time Govan goes out there are massive improvements via progressive playing and accompanying musicians ...huge talent and irrevocable presence ....RTH
Hello einarabelc5. As the director/editor of this video I thank you very much. I didn't even know this upload existed. Thought I'd check the comments for the hell of it and found what you said. So in this case, the message came directly to the source and I am grateful for your kind words. Cheers!
@@jasonmcnamaradotnet Woow, I can write directly to the video editor! So many congratulations to you, this is a wonderful job, all this DVD! I hope you can work other times with The Aristocrats and with so many other great artists! Cheers from Northern Italy!
iDemandU90: I am the one who conceptualize, filmed & edited this video. Thank you for noticing & saying that. I appreciate it. If you want to see more of my work please go through my Ishibashi Music channel that I'm posting from here. Cheers, Jason
@@JasonMcNamara the video is fucking amazing so good job! in general i can already really appreciate the simple fact that the audio was lined up perfectly with the camera's for some reason this is a thing that so many videos already fail
To get that sound from a 3 peace band at the End……..SERIOUSLY good engineers and a seriously good set of pedals. And so so so clean. A thing of beauty.
watching them live can not be described. They constantly challenge each other onstage and grin as they try to trip each other up but they always catch each other.
Having listened to music for fifty-five years, it is refreshing to hear a new take on what is essentially jazz-rock +! Not only is this great playing, but it feels like some real boundaries are being pushed. Incredible fluidity.
Let's stop for a moment to appreciate the video editing! Amazing job which perfectly emphasizes each and every musical accent! I only wish the video was Full HD.
Maybe you guys should play the jam band festival circuit. I bet they'd mostly love you. I can imagine this with a top rate light show too. It would be insane.
Marco quickly muffling that 18" floor tom with his finger after the fill was such a nice detail. It shows his concern with dynamics, which a lot of drummers don't care about.
That tune was killer. Just fucking killer. It is Funny. Killer timing. Relaxed, DYNAMIC, focused, and zoned in. Tone forever. Amazing current heroes right there man. This is the stuff I live for. These guys carry the weight for new generations of players and listeners. With this level of inspiration and influence for future players, we will have no shortage of edgy quantum tunage to come. Thank you.
By the time it gets loud and fast it feels truly well earned. Such a great lesson in building and releasing tension. Such patience. Surely I can't muster that much restraint as a musician.
I wish someone had introduced me to this super-talented trio of musicians AND composers! Just "discovered them the other night by chance. Beyond words excellent!
I can assure everyone that every single performance from the DVD is at least as good as this. It's just brilliant all the way. Get it! (like that :D) I absolutely have to see them the next time they're around.
I came to this band because of Govan. At this point, I can't really even say if he's the most skilled player in the trio. They're all so precise, so inventive, so dynamic. Can't find anything this refined in the prog/fusion type music anywhere, but I'm definitely open to suggestions if you got em
This is so good. i love every bit. What great musicians. I was lucky to see MM en BB live. Aristocrats are top on my list if they come to the Netherlands again. So i did in 2024. What a great experience. So now GG as well.
2:42 yeah...lets make some quadruplets because we can..... hahah THis is so crazy and great at the same time. I really love to see how the laugh while playing.
Mega-WOW. During this stellar performance, each of them clearly exhibited their supreme brilliance. Different style but it reminded me of the magic of "Point It Up" live in Japan (not on YT anymore) Larry Carlton and group, where the keyboard player also let loose with stunning runs and playing). No comparing though.
I love the groove ! I’m just so happy I can always count on you guys to bring the different exciting groove to music. Too often we become conformed to a certain way, if writing music. Your music seems to have less constraints, freakishly so. Inspiring for me. I’ll play along w my keyboard and have a great time w it.! Much love, & respect to you guys for going after what you love so well. It Shows !💕👍✌️

yup
Thats virtuosity
Agreed... well said.
Yup...so true

The guy has truly exceeded anything I thought humanly possible..
Damn, the tone at the end is so fucking heavy for not being severely down tuned. These dudes are seriously wizards
This is perhaps the most impressive example of musicians LISTENING to each other that I've ever heard. 🙏
Im a professional musician and i totally agree! These cats owned it!

No, not because it pleases them or anyone else. They do it to show off (satisfy ego). Oh, of course it is all a huge joke.
@@Cluless02 ok

its such a dumb take to say they "show off" for their "ego" because thats literally just having fun with your instrument.

+csidorf you're doing it wrong, man xD
+Rick Rogers I concur Rick...every time Govan goes out there are massive improvements via progressive playing and accompanying musicians ...huge talent and irrevocable presence ....RTH
He can hit all the notes in the dictionary for the sake of hitting them and nobody agree what the message is.. like us now..
How can they be so much better live, I though it was perfect on the album!!!
+Renan Beltrão and why are there no pig and chicken sounds on the studio version?
+Pier-Luc Tardif cos you get it like that mate!
+Ronnie Vai OOooohh
+Syaiful Arif Ohhhhh Noooooo ;)
All the greats are better live!
Guthrie is just insane. He makes the guitar sing so damn easily
4:20 hands off best lick in that whole concert.
Over 50 years since his death and Wes Montgomery will live on forever in the form of tasty octave playing
Blaze it
I'm so proud of the Director/Editor of this video right now. It was the best!!!

that metal breakdown at the end hahaha excellent musicians with great sense of humour
i like how the only concept that wraps up guthrie's playing is just "perfection"
Every second of this is amazing. But from 5:20 to 6:35 its on a completely different level. It gives me the chills.
Let's stop for a moment to appreciate the video editing! Amazing job which perfectly emphasizes each and every musical accent! I only wish the video was Full HD.
His vocabulary is vast and wide then add technique pure genius the band is awesome
Maybe you guys should play the jam band festival circuit. I bet they'd mostly love you. I can imagine this with a top rate light show too. It would be insane.
I just can't stop binging this performance, it's a rare 10/10 👌
I've never seen that much catchy riffs in one song.
It never ends with these guys. I do believe their mission is to push each other. And they do…some how
the whole song is so incredible but everything past 9:15 is just masterful.
At 2:34 they all acknowledge how amazing they are lol. That was absolutely amazing... 🤘🙏💐
Marco quickly muffling that 18" floor tom with his finger after the fill was such a nice detail. It shows his concern with dynamics, which a lot of drummers don't care about.
Discovered Gutherie from guitar world magazine and have been on a binge watch ever since ! Dude is amazing !
Guthrie's playing is so smooth it's like listening to butter melting on a fretboard.
These dudes are just unreal. Very good edit!
Thank you Ryan. I made this video on my own and I appreciate you enjoying my work. Cheers, Jason
It's cool how much better the sense of rhythm is in audiences of this sort of music. It makes you wonder what radio pop music fans are really hearing.
Are you kiddin me!!!!!! Damn!! These guys bring it!!!!! What else is there to say!!!
First heard this 7 yrs ago and this shit still haunts me. Amount of their talents are just outrageous..
That tune was killer.
Just fucking killer.
It is Funny.
Killer timing.
Relaxed, DYNAMIC, focused, and zoned in.
Tone forever.
Amazing current heroes right there man.
This is the stuff I live for.
These guys carry the weight for new generations of players and listeners.
With this level of inspiration and influence for future players, we will have no shortage of edgy quantum tunage to come.
Thank you.
What an utter joy experiencing these musicians.
Listen to each instrument individually. They all take turns leading and following the groove of eachother individually its beautiful...
I think Marco is one of the best drummers of all time. Hands down he should have been the top pick for the Dream Theater spot!
They wanted him to play exclusively for Dream Theater, that why he didn´t take the job.
Unreal sync of bass and drums. Crazy.
Master musicians! Dynamics and the tension the create sucks you in
Just wish he did that lick at 10:15 more often, love the way that breaks back into the main melody
Whenever you think you've seen it all, there's always a next level!
That's what I thought when I discovered these guys.
A masterclass. It's nearly comical how much better this is than the studio version; the latter sounds absolutely neutered by comparison.
This is another level of musico man. I just cant stop listen to these geniuses.
By the time it gets loud and fast it feels truly well earned. Such a great lesson in building and releasing tension. Such patience. Surely I can't muster that much restraint as a musician.
I wanted to comment but everything has already been said. Incredible
8:40 i love that part
This has a bit of a Bela Fleck and the Flecktones feel in places. Really cool
I wish someone had introduced me to this super-talented trio of musicians AND composers! Just "discovered them the other night by chance. Beyond words excellent!
I can’t think of a better living player on planet earth at this moment in time, indeed, on ANY planet 😍🎸👌🔥🔥🔥
Most well rounded guitarist I've ever heard.....or seen.
minneman knows how to write a catchy melody.
Improvisation level: The Aristocrats❤️
3 geni indiscussi non potevano che fare opere d'arte. No words!
I can assure everyone that every single performance from the DVD is at least as good as this. It's just brilliant all the way. Get it! (like that :D)
I absolutely have to see them the next time they're around.
theyre just incredible. every time i spend some time away from them, and then come back...and listen again...just marvelous.
I love this band!!
These guys were born to be......The Aristocrats👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘
Just unbelievably good live. Seen these guys twice in the last two years. The most talented musicians I know.
MINDBLOWING am a fairly recent convert but from my first ever Aristocrats experience I was hooked
The transition on 8:24 is CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY
Haha I just stamped it. Yeah what a groove
After the chicken a pig solo man what a tasty groove then slows down man true masters right here and gets that crowd going up right after yess so sick
Amazing trio ...
Damn I want to see them live, it seems fun as hell
It is. The best show of my life... So far.
Best video on UA-cam
NICE!! I made this video so thanks.
Cheers, Jason
I gotta agree with you on that. Hands down best piece of music I've seen yet.....,
OMG! Why have I never heard of this band before? (I came here through a reaction channel.)
Guthrie succeeded to put one of the most majestic lick of the video right at 4:20. Well done GG lmao
He was like "let me just play this random lick"
That guitar solo 😮🤤😳 Guthrie is fkn ridiculous, like just off the charts in a way no other guitar playing I’ve ever heard is
I came to this band because of Govan. At this point, I can't really even say if he's the most skilled player in the trio. They're all so precise, so inventive, so dynamic. Can't find anything this refined in the prog/fusion type music anywhere, but I'm definitely open to suggestions if you got em
Check Matteus Mancuso Trio , he is carrying the torch ahead.
Check out Greg Howe, Brett Garsed Shawn Lane trio.
Jonas Hellborg has some good trio albums with Shawn Lane, Ohm with Chris Poland, Consider the Source is killer.
Amazing!! Seems to fall a bit short of describing how good The Aristocrats really are.
Mind blowing with out a doubt as well.
Incredible piece of music
This is the holy trinity.
... without fail, Corn on the Cob Bob... 3 superstars melding their inhuman talents...witness the Holy Grail...and just listen....
this is pure amazingness
bryan's hair while headbanging tho 😍
best rendition of this ive song ive heard. all of them play like its second nature
Amazing I'm going to have to get that dvd. Their timing is so unbelievable.
UNREAL.
10:40 They really turned the heat on. Badass 🎸
7:47 ^_^
Awesome project
and the metal rhythm at the closing love it i felt that spirits inside of you guys \m/
please visit Turkey asap !
Love the editing, goes great with the music.
Amazing Dynamics!
This is such a SICK! \m/ version of this song! Absolutely smashing!
10:50 love that.... so simple so powerful
I thank god that he/she let me watch this video high.
fantastic video editing 🎉
OMG that funky what a perfect version ! im crying i have goosebumbs. Fucking perfect !
Beyond perfect
Nice version, so creative! I only knew the studio version so far. That really happens on an other level!
That disco part was fucking awesome!
That's funk, not disco bro
I love govan's tone sooooooo much!!!!!
This is so good. i love every bit. What great musicians. I was lucky to see MM en BB live. Aristocrats are top on my list if they come to the Netherlands again. So i did in 2024. What a great experience. So now GG as well.
Majestic performance, blown away
That tone 😳😳😳!!
2:42 yeah...lets make some quadruplets because we can..... hahah THis is so crazy and great at the same time. I really love to see how the laugh while playing.
EPIC. So glad I was around to soak up these guys.

brilliant song - the riffs and the whole song in general remind me a lot at 'Turning Point (Part 1)' from Kevin Eubanks from his album from 1992
That's old school right there
Agreed!!
Great video capture and editing, really adds the icing to the cake with all of these camera views.
I love jazz
Yes, the live sound is amazing. Wish they would come to Hershey, PA and play the Hershey Theatre, perfect venue for these guys. Amazing band.
7:20 the apex of jazz
So so so super gut!!!
Amazing group
