Chris is one of the few people who can say "we'll figure it out, it's gonna be fine" and then it actually turns out fine (or much better than just fine in this case). This performance is pure magic, all of them are incredible
@@Miglow Anyone can "put together" something "on the spot." Not many players can "put together" something "on the spot" and play it so amazingly as Chris Thile. You kinda missed the point.
Watching this, the communication between world class musicians, the nod, the wink, and then producing such outstanding sounds. We are in the presence of greatness.
The "bass player" is Mike Elizondo, who has produced for people such as Dr. Dre. He's a musical beast in his own right. Fiddle tunes are not his home court and he knew to sit out, but he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Thile, Eldridge, and Kittel, which is saying a *lot*. Watch more of the LFH canon, including where Elizondo channels Jaco Pastorius . ua-cam.com/video/CBrEjBask34/v-deo.html. He won't be "the bass player" any more.
These are actually some of the more technically difficult tunes to play. But that's what you get from Bluegrass. World class musicians making difficult stuff sound easy.
Can’t go to concerts, because of COVID , but this is the next best substitute, this group of Musicians are just so talented and I’m so glad I found them today!! Life is good, but better with access to the fabulous Punch Brothers and, Chris Thiele!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Haha:) Hmm.. Bassplayer thinking: "ok, I rather go backstage for a beer you fu%&$%#.,,," This happens when the main artist are soo high on himself. What a joke. This is known in this kind of music. Me my self- ME!.
I keep coming back to the St. Anne's Reel section and am mesmerized. I don't think even J.S. Bach could have written better point and counterpoint than what Jeremy Kittel and Chris Thile improvise here, beginning around 2:35
SOOOOOOO GOOD! Kittle's flow is on point. Critter's rhythm - get out of here! Thile's aight too... :) Thanks for your craft y'all! Sending love from MI!
These are 3 staple songs that pretty much every bluegrass player knows and can play at least rhythm for. That being said, leave it to there guys to take it to the next, next, next level. St Anne's Reel is such a pretty melody.
@@FilipPandrc Agreed. If Chris (or any of them) quit when they heard better players, we wouldn't have them now. FWIW - I quit fiddle a few times when I was starting out, but never for more than 10 minutes or so. That's about how long it took me to realize that if I quit it, then I'd *really* never be able to play well.
It's up to the listener to decide if this is inspiring or intimidating. Me, I'm tempted to use my mandolin for kindling. But practice, practice, practice! Five hours a day should be enough...
Any chance of getting this show up and running again? In my all-too many years of concert-going, YouTubing, and just plain listening, I've never been so impressed, moved and edified as I was with the music on this humble show (a victim of The Covid). Maybe it's up and running somewhere else, in this age of streaming; if so, I'd sure like to know. Blessings to all who gave me, my family, and many others so much joy.
There are lyrics to the song whiskey before breakfast. I know because I’ve heard Mike cross performance multiple times and it’s also on one of his vinyl efforts often referred to as long play album.
I play a couple of instruments, and often when I hear the really talented ones play I get inspired. When I hear Chris Thile I want to quit. What's the point after all! (Just kidding really. But he is extraordinary.)
These guys can PLAY. So rarely in the modern musical landscape do we see this: actual musicians, playing actual, non-computer aided instruments. They don't even need electricity really! Thile, as annoying as he can be at times, is probably the best mandolin player to have lived, ever, and the other guys aren't bad either. A truly magical performance!
@@124retlksncvlifvlxiu The band that was supposed to open canceled, so they got us, and we were a 3 piece, he was solo, and (obviously) blew us out of the water because he is amazing. Like literally, I think people were asking: "why did THAT band open for him".
Not so sure about that. Have you listened to the Johann Sebastian Bach “Violin Sonatas and Partitas for Unaccompanied Violin? In my humble opinion, there’s nothing like those pieces of music anywhere.
Just to keep up with Thile you have to be a master of the craft. Thile is a virtuoso genius with an inhuman memory and ability to improvise. Note that they are skipping tunes with little/no announcement. They are known tunes, but still.
Chris is one of the few people who can say "we'll figure it out, it's gonna be fine" and then it actually turns out fine (or much better than just fine in this case). This performance is pure magic, all of them are incredible
Not all that uncommon in trad scenes. Most sets at most sessions are medleys that are put together on the spot.
@@Miglow True, but I meant more in general with life, like Murphy's Law. I take your point though

@@coryCuc that's exactly right. Most players would be much better to plan ahead a rehearse; these guys are a separate species.
well said!
Watching this, the communication between world class musicians, the nod, the wink, and then producing such outstanding sounds. We are in the presence of greatness.
These guys are in perfect sync with their instruments. Effortlessly playing what some can only dream of...well done Sirs
Three of my favorite fiddle tunes! The bass player is spellbound.
That’s real music!
Contrabass are missing. Both a bas, string and a drum.
I love the bass player's face during Salt Creek, it's obvious he knows he's sitting right smack in the middle of something incredible unfolding
bass player? really? dint hear a bass
@@amandasteven1400He didn't actually play the bass. He put it down at 4:00 into video.

I am so very late, but Mike was also the musical director for the whole show, he absolutely knows what he's doing lol
I like how he puts his bass on......then off again very quickly 🙂
It's so nice when amazing musicians play things which are intrinsically simple and just toy with them like this.
I keep coming back to this video but only just looked at the comments. Yo, Henry.

I came looking to hear Whiskey Before Breakfast, but St. Anne's Reel caught my heart. Never heard it before, it's like the embodiment of serenity
Chris never ceases to amaze. Effortless and amazing.
I so miss this show
Can’t go to concerts, because of COVID , but this is the next best substitute, this group of Musicians are just so talented and I’m so glad I found them today!! Life is good, but better with access to the fabulous Punch Brothers and, Chris Thiele!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely beautiful. That moment when they transition into Whiskey Before Breakfast though ... oh man. I wish I could just listen to that on repeat.
Good heavens I miss this show.
Can't believe what I heard. That ist so great! That ist so impressive!
The bassist at 4:07: "well I won't be needing this anymore"
LOL
Relatable ngl
Haha:) Hmm.. Bassplayer thinking: "ok, I rather go backstage for a beer you fu%&$%#.,,," This happens when the main artist are soo high on himself. What a joke. This is known in this kind of music. Me my self- ME!.
I always com back to this video!!! heroes
Can't beiieve this was 1 YEAR AGO.-
Oh how I MISS YOU!
Chris , Tu es un Prince ,quel bonheur tu dégage ,merci de mettre en ce monde tes Notes Merveilleuses .
going to hear Chris in Copenhagen on the 4 of november 2022. cant wait!

Early one morning when the sun didn't shine,.....
I was walking down the street and didn't feel to fine.🎶🎵🎶
omg chris thile is everythingggg
So many notes, so little time. Amazing.
Chris Tile is just nuts and incredibly talented.
I think he has a tick, or something.
3 wonderul melodies I love to play!
Same
3 wonderful melodies i wish to play!
I reckon I've watched this about 47 times.
Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it done.
Amazing! Critter kills it! Chris always does!
I love this so much
Musical greatness!!

Awesome music artist 😊👍❤️
There are people out there that have no sense of music, at all, but don't hold it against them, it's because THESE guys got it all : )
I hope Chris Thile and this show lasts a long, long time.
Sorry...it’s gone.
I like it when he says time to talk about horses or something
Very cool and pretty arrangement !
Dang, Chris is hilarious on stage.
Steven S. He is amazing.
@@dawnmonroe5399 Indeed... I first saw him at Merlefest, when he was 15-16 (?), and beginning to strike fear in the heart of Sam Bush...
This is like watching the Dillards back in the 1960s. Truly awesome!
flabbergasted, every time.
Amazing 🤩
Fantastic!
WOW, that is what ya call musicianship.... all three of em... nice job... very nice!
Honestly so sad the show got cancelled. Chris was such a good host!
Great set of tunes!
it's fun watching the bassists face
Thile has the softest high notes, and I would love to understand because our mandolinist high notes pierce my ear at times.
Your mandolinist may just not be sure they're heard in the "mix". It's a surprisingly quiet instrument from the player's point of view
This made my night shift half tolerable!
The cure for depression. You can t hear this and feel bad.
I would like to announce my retirement from attempting to play music.
Music is therapeutic. We should all continue playing it. Don't give up!
I will join you.
@@FilipPandrc Agreed. If Chris (or any of them) quit when they heard better players, we wouldn't have them now.

Hallelujah
There is no one better than Chris
2:09 St. Anne's Reel
3:18 Whiskey Before Breakfast
4:21 Salt Creek
We all had fun and that is all that counts!
Sounded great! They make it look easy, but many years of practice leads to good improv.
5:30 His face in the back says it all
best video ever
I still haven't recovered from the cancellation of Live From Here.
That jazzy version of Whiskey! Crazy!!
Wonderful
Awesome!
matur suksma😊

James McCormick 0
Ah dont quit James, just play Chris back at 0.25X, speed.🙂
I ask myself the same question everyday! Then I pick up my mandolin and keep playing. : )
The pianist is contemplating life choices
Critter bringing that HEAT 🔥🔥
Nice pickin', Critter.
It's the infintisimal. And he's the best.
Whiskey Before Breakfast has lyrics
That was insane.
Incredible
Yes.
WOW!
Music starts at 2:08
I miss LFM so much!
🤔🤔 maybe when I'm 99 year's old , I will be hable to play my Mandolin like Chris😃😃 I got 47 years to go 👴

"if there were lyrics...ever...then it's not a fiddle tune."
Hawk is a Mule enters the chat
Isn’t using sheet music cheating? Only been playing bluegrass for a little while but I’ve never seen that?
Where is this place?
Chris is just so sick. Amazing.
On an absolute fluke once, I got to open for Thile, and he destroyed us.
That’s so interesting what happened?!

Can someone tell me how is this style of music called? Thanks!
Bluegrass style
Old time
Good
Wow!
Not so sure about that. Have you listened to the
Johann Sebastian Bach “Violin Sonatas and Partitas for
Unaccompanied Violin?
In my humble opinion, there’s nothing like those pieces of music anywhere.
Chris is unreel
It's hard to know if he sold his soul to the Devil or if he's the Second Coming. 🤣
Saint Anne's Reel is basically crack
Second Coming as far as I'm concerned. Nothing but positive vibes and pure genius dedicated to his craft.
"
Whiskey before breakfast has lyrics"
Aye, I drink whisky with breakfast. A light, sweet Speyside, reserving the drier, peatier Islays for later in the day...
You, sir, know what’s good!
Does that bass player want an instrument with his strap?
Can barely hear it on maximum volume.
Eldridge is fucking phenomenal

Beautiful
I cannot not see Rik Mayall's head on Chris Thile's body when I am watching this.
THIS IS INSANE
