@@nygaardstudios his flight suit never was the same as the other flight suits. He was wearing his vest as early as the first video. In the third, fourth and fith video he wore a leather jacket. More on theme yes, the same outfit no.
Believe it or not, I was introduced to the Fearless Flyers before Vulfpeck, so these 4 have a special place in my heart for introducing me to the amazing world of low volume funk
Me too! Stepdad played them for me in the car, I was so surprised when I later realized I had seen Dean Town through UA-cam recommendations but never watched more of their videos until later
I have not been giving Marks bari enough credit. Sooo fucking melodic. Just made the show for me. I expect a rhythmic machine from these boys but never realized how much decoration hes putting down.
Can we all give a huge show of appreciation for the real MVP of this show: Joe Dart's chiropractor for his vital work on Dart's spine to keep his neck *that* flexible. Literally couldn't have done this show without them.
Love how clean this is, and the huge wide stereo field, with one guitar panned hard right, one hard left. Cudos to the engineers, not to mention the virtuosos on that stage!
These guys are so next level. As a bass player, I think Joe Dart is phenomenal and possibly not even human. Nate Smith has got to be the drummer I most wish I could play alongside. Cory and Mark would be the guitarists I'd most love to support with the bottom end. In comparison I'd probably suck, but hey, that's my wish list. 😁
What a treat for an old funk bass player! This was joyous. And I absolutely love that a new generation is falling in love with funky music, like we did as kids so many years ago. Have a great time, kids!
The audacity...the balls...to show up to a gig with only a snare, kick and hi hat. Incredible. And then he kills it all night long. Can we give the drummer some?
Yet again Caleb made it sound so huge I can't be bothered to get off my phone grab those hi end German headphones. People talk shit about today's music but I'm super happy to have witnessed the age of virtuosi supergroups, and not just shredding, this rocks!
people that talk shit about todays music are just to lazy to look for the good bits. besides, there was plenty of shit music back in the "good" old days. but since its shit nobody remembers that and all they think of are the cherry-picked good parts.
@@cobaltno51 It depends on what you mean by "the good old days". I grew up in the 70's listening to mainstream rock radio. There weren't very many shitty songs. Because there were so many good ones, there was little room for crap.
@@TheSlandis : I grew up in the '70s as well, and I remember a LOT of cheesy/bad music back then. The #1 song for 1975, for example, was Love Will Keep Us Together by Capt. & Tennille. But this is all subjective, of course.
@@cobaltno51 you're right, but I think it's safe to say most people are referring to pop music when they talk shit on modern music. Which is honestly completely understandable.
From what I can see, I don't think the camera operators understood what a baritone guitar is and where it sits in the range. You can frequently see them zoning in on Joe or Cory on parts that are either particularly high or low but being played by Mark.
I don’t think it helps things that while the other three have their own quirky styles when they play, Mark is honestly pretty reserved in his body language/movement when playing.
Man! Besides the music being absolutely killin, this some of the best concert coverage I’ve ever seen! It’s like the editor is in my brain showing exactly what I want to see in every critical moment.
Fearless Flyers. A band made up of the sickest funk guitarist today, the best bass player to arrive on the scene in the last 20 years, and a man who is the cornerstone of modern fusion jazz guitar... and yet a drummer with only a kick, snare and hi hat still steals the show. Nate Smith should be a legend. Absolutely amazing band.
Shout out to Mark at 08:09, so tasteful you have to smile. These live versions are all primo! Love watching them have so much fun, finding the pocket and never leaving 🙌💯
honestly, THIS makes every shitty day or week feel like an unimportant something. Such groove! Such feeling! Such dedication! I loved Vulfpeck (in all its variations) from the moment I heard them the first time with Dean Town but man... love always gets deeper I guess THANK YOU for all the music and the joy that lies within
This band is an inspiration to us all. This entire performance is riveting. I'm totally there. My first time hearing this, and it feels like a comfortable pair of shoes that I've been wearing for years. Joe Dart proves you don't have to move your entire body to dance like a maniac. Who knew? If that guy ever lets loose without his bass, I hope the camera's rolling. This is the shortest 36 minutes and 24 seconds ever. It leaves you wanting more. Groove this, shred that... oh yeah... The sound engineering, the magnificent camera work, and the delightful New York audience... the beautiful comments on this UA-cam post... Yes! It's a beautiful morning.
I love this so much! Also has anyone else noticed that the guitars are both fairly hard-panned??? It is so awesome!!! Like an extra element of being there for those of us at home.
I'm amazed and perplexed with the minimal setup by Nate Smith. I mean I know he can tear it up on anything but not even a cymbal? Such a unique drummer.
one of my favourite drummers always has been steve jordan and nate reminds me so much of him and vice versa but both with their own spins on it.. so great. im just loving this

I love this show so so much. Not only is this the first time we have a high quality live vid of the Flyers, but it’s also the most human I’ve seen these players. There’s a few spots where they make a mistake, but it doesn’t matter! Nate drops a stick at 1:28, Mark comes in a bit early on Barbara (18:55), Joe flubs the intro to Bicentennial at 21:42, and Cory ends a bit late on Signed, Sealed, Delivered. (35:57) but it doesn’t matter, the groove keeps rollin and we’re still jammin.
Stage hand: "Can I get 3 XLRs for the drums please?" FOH: " 3? This is a 80 track midas console! Mic the WHOLE KIT!" Stage hand: "Sir, he only brought a 3 piece kit." FOH: "This is going to be a disaster." Epic display of musicality ensues
1. I’m amazed by the fact that the whole concept of the fearless flyers works as an entity of music, visual presentation of the performance under the aspects of minimalism, sense of humor (fixed instruments) and serious funkiness. Most of us “professional musicians” can learn a lot from the grade of focus dedicated to “the product, that is delivered” on the highest possible level with maximum personal joy. 2. How cool is it, that the guitars change player’s (or should we name them pilots? 😅) 3. Is this a single P-Bass-humbucker-coil in the center of the middle Guitar? 4. Keep in mind that the musical material sources itself basically out of 10 Notes - dorian scale plus major 3rd and flat 5 - it is a piece of art to craft such versatility out of reduced material. Honest admiration for this great concert!

Pocket so tight all you can fit in it is more pocket!
It's certainly the loudest thing in THAT mix, particularly when it's open 😉
it needed a cigarette after this
do we know what kind they are? i'm due for a upgrade
@@grant_skis 16's - he uses a K crash on the top and a light K hi hat on the bottom. Good luck with getting the same sound 😉

Love how clean this is, and the huge wide stereo field, with one guitar panned hard right, one hard left. Cudos to the engineers, not to mention the virtuosos on that stage!
Wouh yeah... This stereo is simply great
Mix is crisp af for a relatively small sounding band in a huge arena. Like Nate's drums sound like in a soundproof room
I came here to say this! What a rarity to get such great audio on a live recording on YT.
Oopsie at 10:18, the whole gig is ruined
i think jack does all of their sound lol
Drummers with 20 piece kits take notes
To be fair I digged his set playing with the Delta Force together a bit more. But he surely is a beast on a 3 piece kit
My man just rode a hi-hat 24:35
I had no idea that was possible…
*nate smith begins taking notes*
@@P-YT-CH that hi hat goes to work!
Different styles require different kits.

You speaking for the mortals.
xpatsteve - Shit.....I'm a drummer and i wish i could play alongside Nate. His pocket is so deep there are Chilean miners trapped in it.
gghaayy
Joe is insanely good, but definitely not untouchable. You’ll get it
Just put the time in. That simple.
What a treat for an old funk bass player! This was joyous. And I absolutely love that a new generation is falling in love with funky music, like we did as kids so many years ago. Have a great time, kids!
Been waiting for someone to finally post a rip of this VHS!
i think this joke didn't get the likes it deserves...
@@thomasroyer7284 Nowadays people don't even know about VHS.
Nate Smith is absolutely wild
That double clap from the audience at the pause at 7:01 was so fucking powerful, you can tell the crowd was waiting for that one moment
Whoever mixed that kick drum needs a Nobel prize
The audacity...the balls...to show up to a gig with only a snare, kick and hi hat. Incredible. And then he kills it all night long. Can we give the drummer some?
love? y got it G.J.
Shake everything you got!
You dont need more than that :)

I can't believe I just discovered Vulfpeck, Cory, and Fearless. Highly enjoyable.
1:24 major shout out to the video editor - that was absolutely awesome!
My favourite part must be the one between 0:00 and 36:23
i really liked the moment they played motherfreakin funk...
Love how they added Cory Wong's down and up tuning for the real tuning enthusiasts.
Nate Smith has the best right hand in the business. Period.

Paired with corys right hand they’re unstoppable

I’m sad the saxophonists weren’t there, I would have loved hearing them play assassin
The Delta Force didn’t exist until the January after this concert.
Id go to a ff x delta force concert
Woody Goss Trio is next for MSG then?
Hope it is
YES
Woody and Jeremy!
Greatest live show I ever attended. Like a 3-hour long dance party. These boys know how to rule a crowd!
Does Mark have beef with the camera operators? He was criminally underrated in the footage!
From what I can see, I don't think the camera operators understood what a baritone guitar is and where it sits in the range. You can frequently see them zoning in on Joe or Cory on parts that are either particularly high or low but being played by Mark.
Agreed, even when he was doing interesting melodic stuff they kept zooming in on Joe and Cory.
Breaks my heart watching the swampers solo everytime.
He's Snarky, they're Vulf; East vs. West
I don’t think it helps things that while the other three have their own quirky styles when they play, Mark is honestly pretty reserved in his body language/movement when playing.
Nate clutches IMMEDIATELY
Director at 18:00 -- "Closeup on the bari!"
Cameraman: "WTF is a bari?"
Lmao right.
When young musicians form their first bands, they imagine themselves becoming this good :)
As a bass learner, Joe Dart is truly an inspiration

I love the sound of tiny drum sets like that when played really clean. Just so tight and cool and those big snares and super clean hi hats.

Nate and Joe complement each other's playing so well!! Also, that stick drop 🤣
I’m so glad I was there in person! The good ol’ days before covid when you could pack a ton of people in to listen to good music.
it's impossible to overstate how well this is performed
Mark Lettieri's guitar got a PBass pick-up right there. Never thought that was possible 👍
he’s got like 3 different pickups on one guitar
Blessed to have been there, unbelievable night!
Mark's tone sounds so much like a baritone sax @27:00 it's insane. I was just listening and it was so trippy I had to keep going back.
Shout out to Mark at 08:09, so tasteful you have to smile. These live versions are all primo! Love watching them have so much fun, finding the pocket and never leaving 🙌💯
