YES. Literally the legendary clip we were all waiting for is here
exactly
For real, had saved it for months!
A true classic.
Finally!
Agree 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can't believe they were having sax in the middle of the train like that
It's New York mate, anything can happen
So inappropriate, kids could be watching
the other commuters were cheering and taking videos too, cant believe the very people around us could be so vile, we live in a society 😭
Ayo
SMH 😮💨
I discovered this battle a year ago and my mind was blown. Being a musician is so much fun
Yep it sure is
@@MarkoSharko69 I was playing trumpet with a sax player on a gig a few years back and it was so much fun. People came up to us after and asked how long we had been playing together and it blew their mind when we told them we met that morning lol.
@@gamecokben this happened to me some years ago, when i met one my neighbors. I was painting my guitar in the garage with the door open, he looked inside with curiosity, i greeted him and he said that he played the guitar too, so the same night he invited me and some of his friend at his apartment (with my guitar, obviously). We began to improvise, alternating so that each one in turn played as an accompaniment and the other as a lead in such a natural and spontaneous way, as if we had known each other for a lifetime...It was magical. Music is the thing that gave me the most powerful emotions in my lifetime...Music is physically vital for me. Cheers brother musician.
@@mttlsa686 that's cool as hell
Yeah it is especially trained in jazz. I kinda get upset that my ears are so sensitive tho. It’s like a super power….so I can’t complain 😂😂
The A Train Battle took years of studying and translation, but I am happy to finally say that Collier, myself, Mozart and other 'greats' have finally been able translate, the beauty of what happened.
So that now mere mortals may now also try replicate the legacy left behind by the sax god's...

Yes, the man, the LEGEND, transcribed the LEGENDARY battle!
actually mr xiao migros kindly transcribed it for you
@@GeorgeCollier That's so nice of him
Revisiting this video several years later made me realize: they were using the magic of the Blues scale! The scale works with every chord so naturally each player wouldn't have to worry about harmony too much
the joys of jazz
wait, does it actually work with EVERY SINGLE chord??? that sounds too good to be true
@@amiapsychopatevery chord in the key
The best part about this is how they're giving each other opportunities to take the lead. So wholesome considering it's two strangers on a train
ah yes, finally. i was waiting for the transcribing of the fiercest battle ever fought on any new york subway
The only battle where both sides won
Less of a battle, more of a polite debate.
@@TheMasterCheese less polite, more passive aggressive
i always love how every sax battle always ends with both duelists sounding like a train thats about to explode.
The Sax battle continues for another 2 minutes
I actually can’t tell you how much I love this clip
Yeah its just so...arghhhhhh!
@@daaaaaaan4696 I know!! That's exactly how I feel haha :)
I had never seen the complete version. Absolutely insane. Legends to be remembered forever in the internet
You still haven't seen the complete version. They keep going! Check out this video! ua-cam.com/video/RPjL909DiVI/v-deo.html
The full battle was actually around 6 minutes rather than this shortened one!
That one moment where the audience harmonized sounded amazing
Their claps sound like a sick beat tho
The 16th notes on the bass line are so crispy clean 🤩🤩🤩🤩
0:55 I love how they seemlessly switch who leads melody
The guy in the white shirt is just as important to this video as the sax players lol. He give off such a happy vibe
They sounded so good that I almost forgot that they didn’t play “take the A train” on the A train
That bari line at 1:10 🥵
Yesss boiiiiu
You can tell that at this moment, these guys both recognized the power of the other player. And as acknowledgement, they had turned it from a duel to a duet.
This is a certified hood classic
The long note at 0:10 is so fucking wel timed jeez
Still one of my favorite videos on the internet.
Such joy between these two and everyone around them. Nobody is trying to win…just having fun.
Man’s pulling clips from the graveyard damn
I’m SO glad this legendary video has finally been featured on this channel.
History has it that such legendary events are always filmed by a potato camera
I really hope they became best friends after this
I love this so much! PLEASE do the supercut! The Billie Jean portion is awesome, but their freestyle afterwards is even more legendary
If George does the supercut, I will personally pay for his lunch any time he is in New Jersey. A
Happy Hoagiefest Georgie, *you know what must be done.*
I like how there was a question mark at the end for the saxophone screech
0:29 I love octave riffs lol
I'm a saxophone guy, and this is prob the best sax battle I've ever seen
Edit: why is my comment always highlighted
Nvm
@@hersheybar5797 lol
Wait there are more sax battles?
"Why were you late to work today?"
Me:
Let’s just take a moment to celebrate George reaching 420k subs
nice
This is crazy, love this one!
literally gave me chills. So cool, the improv and communication!
I always loved the really hyped up guy
Now I really wanna see a transcription of pipeline funk
This is one of my favorite videos on the internet and I knew it would only be a matter of time until it was transcribed. So glad you manage to keep a semi-regular upload schedule even amid school!
This man is doing gods work with these transcriptions
been watching this for 5 years and it never gets old
People who can't clap: *start clapping wildly*
"With way too much air" that part is epic as fuck
Damn, it’s about time this legendary video was transcribed! Just wish we had the whole thing, but seeing the length of it, I think that’s asking for too much lol
1:10 the moment where it all came together.
the end is funny af 🤣
Omg thank you George I have watched this countless times. Love your channel keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Was waiting for this! Thank you for posting it to your channel! This one shows so much give and take that at times you can't tell who is playing what! Ideas thrown, grabbed, borrowed, blended and accepted back and then accentuated in split seconds. It's harmony at all times when both are conducting and being conducted.
This was a pleasure to watch, and a pleasure to see on your channel.
OHHHH I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THISSSSSS THANK YOU GEORGE
I'm gonna just groove in the middle of the city and wait for another musician to groove with me
I'm just waiting for something like this to happen again but with different instruments
Just imagine what it could have been if the crowd clapped on 2 and 4
This clip will never cease being legendary
I legit feel like this could be the battle theme for an RPG
The three questions point ad the start shooting louder possible, crack me up XD
Letss goooooo
Look at the faces of the passengers! Man, you guys need to do this more often, waayy more often! We need more of this in this messed up world - to lift people's spirits, put a spring in their steps, make them go on again with a smile on their faces!
The most hype duo every to cross the galaxy
The original is still one of my favorite music videos ever. Also I'm sad you left out the second half
Oh man oh man. Finally, one of the most iconic videos on the internet, transcribed for us all to enjoy.
The channel was made for this clip. It's like watching you achieve your destiny
I’ve been waiting for you to make this..
Inconsiderately awesome.
The end was what made me think these two guys were Moon Hooch at first lol. The ridiculously strong altissimo and the honked out harmonics on the bari was so reminiscent of them
I thought the same thing for a moment. Now please excuse me. I'm off to watch performance they did for their friends' cows for about the 40th time.
Least violent New York City interaction
Thank you!! I really wanted to see this
That's why I love being a saxophonist
The notes looked so fun
Wish I could crash my piano there and join the fun!
Imagine the universe where there’s a third guy with a sax
The long awaited battle of history
I play tenor and I gadda say the berry sax was killin it
This was the absolute peak of humanity. It's been all down hill since this occurred.
HA! I was literally just rewatching this a couple of days ago. you should transcribe the supercut version
Tfw two bards use Bardic Inspiration on your depressing commute
1:56 i can’t with the ??? At the end 😂😂😂
Finally All saxophone players can play this epic battle
The ending just gave off a particular feeling like ITS HOLDIN OOOON
Finally the ancient text has been decipher
Bro the people who got on that train just walked into a real life Pokémon battle
Underrated lol
ya decia yo a que hora hace uno de este video !! esta increible :D
Bro you gotta do the next part thats where the best bit is
There's a really cool supercut version if yiu look ot up that's 6 minutes long, has a couple videos from different views, it's so cool
I like how the guy in the white shirt and the shades is just vibing hard
I saw this years ago, and I'm glad you've added transcriptions of this epic friendly battle!
Amazing transcription despite the errors. Love some internet history memes
when your mom tells you to go outside
bro i have to play this some time
Imagine if this was how wars were settled.
This is perhaps my favorite video all time, so happy to see it here.
BRUH, THEY HAVE THE MUSIC FOR THIS TOO?!?! I JUST SAW THIS IN ANOTHER VIDEO. THIS IS AWSOME!!!
Is this something they practiced together, or were they just improvising and jamming together? Either way, it sounds absolutely awesome!
Improvised
the first bit was billie jean and then it just Evolved
I feel a little bad for the people in there because those instruments can get a bit loud, but it is nice to see people having fun in a public space.
then again it IS new york
Absolute legend of a clip. I first saw this probably in junior high and it doesn't get old.
i’ve been waiting for this for so long
Congrats on 420k!
When the teams bards face off in an epic rap battle.
Wow! What power, ear, feeling!
I love the way too much air
Is this a song they both knew and seen each other and began playing it together or was this all improve upon seeing each other like a freestyle Saxophone battle?!? Absolutely beautiful regardless
@@hampter2407 pure talent
The guy on the bari sax is playing some Michael Jackson song which the guy picks up on. Since it’s, relatively speaking, pretty uncomplicated a song, it makes it easy to improv over. They just happen to be right place right time :-)
grey shirt was playing the into to billie jean, but after that they kinda just took it and ran
@@se7enthsoul theres no lyrics, its not a song
I like how the battle isn't who can play it better, but who can carry the flow of the music. A competition but one of co-op.
Finally. The one thing I was hoping to see a transcript of.
