The Portland Cello Project's orchestral, double-drummer, instrumental cover of Kanye West's ingenious "All of the Lights" from a sold out show December 17, 2010 at Portland, Oregon's Crystal Ballroom.
The studio-recorded version, released on the Kill Rock Stars Record Label is available here:

Say what you want about Kanye, but the sheer complexity of this musical arrangement should make you at least acknowledge that musically, the guy has an eerily fantastic mind. This is beautiful!
Taron Webb he is a GENIUS!!!
+Taron Webb calm down guy, its not that serious. All lives matter.
Taron Webb I nearly cried after listening to this instrumental like it was everything
M Kabay It really is that strong of an arrangement ma. If someone were to say that he was just a stupid rapper like I've heard before, I'd submit this as proof of the contrary.
mansno complexity 4 chords and some more notes
8 years later... I still get chills from that interlude.
I like the Interlude better than the actual song, just because you can hear all the orchestration going on.
Facts
Rush Love thing is it was a octave below
Still here
Still getting the chills every damn time genius purely genius
I feel like Kanye isn't even apart of the hip hop genre, but he's in a genre of his own... And I like it.
Nah. He's still hip hop.
He used to be hip hop, not to say he's still not fantastic. Although I do feel disappointed by his last two albums, as they feel more like experimental concept albums, that doesn't mean Turbo-Grafx 16 will as well (and the name feels like graduations album art to me, so there may be hope yet).
right
By saying it the way you do i can tell thatt youre not a fan of Hip-Hop , like whate you like but dont downplay another genre , kanye is very much Hip-Hop and othe genres as well, he is showing black greatness , we too are Artist.
@@low9975 i was confused reading this till i realize it was 3 years ago. But Pablo for me is a great album tho
Don’t delete this masterpiece. Regardless of what happens. Don’t erase this.
I want this for my wedding ...this is literally perfect
I walked down the aisle to this and I come back at least once a year to listen again and remember. ☺️
I really hope my fiancé will walk down the isle to this
@@mollyweisman7818 when did you start walking! I want to use this too
the song's lyrics talk about restraining orders and shit
@@JeremiahFernandez I think they used the instrumental version
Kanye hear what normal human don't hear. The magnitude of his music such as the genius design will be played by future students and other curious people, who seek greatness. kanye west is a sound of its own.
He talks to people with/through his music.
Perfect representation of Kanye. “Yo, I’m like, the musical messiah of this generation yo! nobody can compare to my musical genius and talent.
naah the dick eating is crazy
I live and die by the sound of those horns. My God!!!
Nnamdi Okafor the cellos
Nnamdi Okafor you mean at around 2:05 right? the horns and flutes are in the back row.
Nnamdi Okafor Those cellos make me fall in love with things that can't love me back
The drums....
Kanye is a creative genius. Anyone who is an artist knows this. Amazing instrumental of orchestration!
6ix9ine is better though.
@@JohnDoe-bt9qp you thought you funny huh
@@hieuduong2213 6IX9INE IS TRASH!... JUST SAW HIM USING A VAPE 😱
Genius Mr west
@@hieuduong2213 it did make me laugh bc it's laughable. 😂
Hearing the lyrics “MJ gone, OUR NIGGA DEAD” on instruments was magical!😂🔥
Those drums send a shiver down my spine
I swear to god, All of the Lights will be the song of this generation. In 20 years time, children will listen to it and ask their parents about what happened to music like this. Kanye's gonna be immortalized.
Nah drums are arguably the worst part of it
This didn’t age well 😂
This is so beautiful to the human ear , who listening to this in 2019 ?
I am & it’s TIMELESS !!!
I am & it’s TIMELESS !!!

One of the...
trying to persuade my band teacher to play this at one of our concerts coming up .
briana xotwod Did you ultimately convince him, briana? 🤔
Briana? We need to know!!
R.I.P Briana
H S Me too!! That would be legendary. But I guess we’ll never know for sure if it happened or not....
Everybody wants to know, what briana would do, if her band performed this... I guess we’ll never know.
The Interlude.
That little part at 3:10-3:12, smooth as hell
Searched the comment section to find this… my fave bit 😊
I'm big time hip hop junkie and it's crazy that this fascinates me. I never really would fuck with orchestra but this is dope! This is amazing.
Bro Kanye is a musical GENIUS. That's it, he's a genius. Wow.
Ye, he made it to symphony status. My brother ✊🏽 ⏱
I found my soul somewhere in between these strings..
Global Art Daily congratulations 😂🙏🏾
started to tear
Same
Kanye west is the greatest artist of the 21st century genius enough said
there would be 49 less down votes if they didn't know this was Kanye
But kanye is awesome..fk taylor switf
+DerpMonley naw not fuck taylor they cool now.. but it was weird that beyonce won best music video of the year for the big category both male and females but taylor swift won the best female music video award. Many aspects to this but kanye is the shit for what he did he is just such an entertaining human being, i bet his concerts are the best i wish i was there when he brought out jesus, he got slack for that but imagine if you were there lol i'd be like wtf is going on!!!
Pepsi Or Coke Bro ayy i was just kidding about t swift. she makes some dope ass music now haha. but kanye is a god. its just people nowadays when they hear the word kanye, they think of that dumb mic accident not his amazing music.
there would be less people here if they didnt know this was kanye
Facts
This is probably the most beautiful cello remix I've ever heard. Everyone played so well
I'm downloading this song, i'm saving this video, this is going in my favorites, that's how good I feel about this cover
Absolute perfection. I don't know if Kanye's original beat was composed by him.. but whoever made the beat was a genius.. hats off to the band
Austin Hartis I think kid cudi also produced it, and I know the interlude was done by Elton John. But I’m pretty sure Kanye is the brains behind it
@@SauceNoFlex Produced only by Kanye and Jeff Bhaskar according to Wikipedia
Kanye West producer, Jeff Bhasker additional producer, acc. to Wikipedia
After watching his documentary on Netflix and listening to all his old music again, found new respect for Kanye. The man really is a genius
That was beautiful, even if you dislike Kanye, the work that him and his team has achieved is truly awesome x
the blonde girl playing cello is rocking out.
2:40 yeeeeeaeaaaaahhhh
She’s loving it, it’s actually super awesome to see that enjoyment
@@brendanfinnegan3615 Yeah I agree I would be doing the same.
That's my English teacher lol. Was my favorite.
@@obscurer1898 that rules
This is beyond beautiful
which other man in the genre has transcended these boundaries?
Childish Gambino.
Josh Johnstun touché. Awaken, My Love was beautiful...
Khulekani Magubane drake's instrumentals sound amazing
NoCumBacks Like Drake has anything to do with that 😂
Khulekani Magubane hmmm
wow insane cover ,gave me goosebumps ! so good
This is probably my favorite song and you guys completely BLEW my mind. This sounds perfect. If Kanye saw this...GAH! This is just amazing. Great job. :D
it evokes emotion..brings tears to my often this particular piece
12 years later and this is still a masterpiece
Wow. This just became one of my favorite things.
One day in the afterlife there will be a table and at it will sit Tchaikovsky and Beethoven and Mozart and Chopin and Andre young and Kanye West. And they will all sit comfortably because they belong
This hear is music. I was here on the 17th of November 2022. In 80 years I will not be here. But I hope new ears who hear this will love and appreciate it just as much as I did. G.R
The band at my middle school covered this song when it first came out. It was so beautiful to me.
one word to describe this..."DOPE"
tears in my eyes, legit. this is amazing.
Absolutely beautiful. Almost makes a grown man want to cry.
Kanye is absolutely fantastic and these guys really really did do this song justice. Amazing
Such a beautiful thing to listen to. Brings me to tears after having a stressful day.💕
Gave me goosebumps😊
i really hope Kanye gets a chance to see this....i think i can honestly say, if you get orchestra's playing your songs when its a COMPLETELY different genre of music, you must be doing something right. Hats off to the orchestra for making this song sound even more beautiful than what it already was. I think Kanye would be proud if he saw this
amazing! Just like Kanye's work ethic of a perfect team. To this day this has to go down as one of the best song in the past decade in the new wave, hiphop, 808s hearbreak genre...I can't even put it in a single genre..and with these beautiful instruments put together wow! Simply creative and genius at the same time bwahahaa
+vela0043 808s and Heartbreak isn't a genre...
I know what you are saying. In a way that album almost created a genre in itself.
+Fergus R-T Yeah there's an interview on here of Kanye talking about the album before it was released and he was saying how he decided it should be considered in it's own genre and he named it pop art and said him and Kid Cudi are the pioneers of it. the name didn't catch on i guess though lol
It’s 2020 and this is STILL AMAZING❤️
every time i hear this wow
This version is DOPE. . . . 💪
Kanye is so special and will be remembered for all time.
This is so awesome. Hearing this version really made me respect Kanye as an artist. I never really appreciated how good this song was from a musical standpoint before. This is really incredible. Whoever did the arrangement did a fantastic job!!!
This is METAL GENIUS. Best cello cover rock band ever!
One of the most beautiful instrumental songs! In my opinion!😌🙏🏼😎😇
Kanye’s musical legacy has been immortalized. Can’t convince me otherwise. Future Generations will find his music.
This is why I keep practicing my cello...
They killed it
This song is FUCKING beautiful!
The intro makes me cry damn near every time!!
This is freaking lit
This proves Kanye is a genius
How dare you give me chills
Why are there dislikes on this video? I'm baffled
Imagine its the second coming and the angels on trumpets just starting the interlude to All of the Lights.
I agree. Either this or the Avengers theme
Sounds just like the interlude on Spotify, great job.
The greatest of Kanye is just to complex for us to really comprehend
I LOOOOOOVE the beginning!! It sounds so depressing but so good at the same time! Makes me go through my emotions one by one and want to cry but I love it! I can listen to it all day on repeat.
Remember seeing these guys for a field trip, played this song and I've never forgotten. Magical
In all that's going on in Portland, they should assemble and play this, Iswear people would immediately stop and CHILL...
10 years and it still gives me goosebumps..
Props to Kanye, props to open minds, props to Portland Cello's, and most of all props to Hip-Hop! They once hated hip-hop because they feared it. They knew what we all know now...it is the one genre that is so true that it can tear down walls and bring worlds together. They are rapping in the middle east, India and China. And now crossing over to Classical. This is amazing. Beautiful. Keep up the great work! You will gain a whole new fan base!
this instantly gave me chills as soon as the audio started
IM WILDIN THE FUCK OUT
goosebumps everywhere oh my godddddd
OMG!! Kanye is living legend. 2019 anyone??
2020
Beautiful
Kanye love him or hate him a Genius in Music!
Whoever dislikes this has no appreciation for real music. This shit is remarkable!!
Goosebump level: HIGH
2:21 ladies killin the drums lmao
Bubba Dak yo facts 😂
Fucking twelve years! Ye is so above his time! People will never understand a genious when they find one. Kanye is the one.
Your drummer goes hard!! Props and kudos to the entire orchestra. This is amazing!!
perfect!
this is amazing
Love love love 😍
Magnífico!
Still sooooo dope!!!!!!!
This is genius!!!!
Beautiful.
This activated my brainwaves! Amazing piece!!
The sweet sound of the cello.
fantastic
Just amazing reasons why I love cello such a graceful instrument
This has to be the best cover i've heard. I cant stand Kanye West, but damn he makes really good beats.
I’m using this for my wedding this November 🥹💒
doesnt this speak volumes to the mind of kanye west? beautiful melodies and symphonies for a track and the interlude is beautiful as well.
2022 Praying for Ye to get back to being Kanye. Fuck all the politics and continue to create music like this.
Still come back just to listen how beautiful this came out.
Beautifully done. ❤️
beautiful performance
I would sign away the rights to my firstborn child to see this live.
