I was not prepared for that to be as good as it was, quite honestly. Great arrangement- tenor was strong, Bari lended great support without being heard, bass did a great job and the lead’s color was spot on. Nicely done guys. Great arrangement and execution.
I sat down this morning and went to youtube. This video was recommended to me by youtube and so I clicked on it. I was drawn in from the moment they built the chord in the tune up. The free and easy production reeled me in. This easy production allowed the story-telling to begin immediately and I was listening with interest. This is great stuff. It's what makes Barbershop such an enjoyable art form. I have been out of Barbershop for several years and I have not heard this quartet before. I have no idea what they placed. But in this moment they were making beautiful music and telling a story that I wanted to hear. My ears felt pleasure all the way to the end where the final chord expanded so much so that I heard more voices than can be accounted for by the 4 men standing before the mic. Very well done, gentlemen, and thank you for this moment.
Great but by far not the best I've ever heard. Several other barbershop quartets have been better. It might actually not have been them. The quality of sound maybe is what distracted from the performance. The high pitch was cracking and the overall total harmony was just off slightly. Please don't kill me in rreturn responses. Better than anything I could or will ever do but I've been listening to this quartet music quite awhile and have heard some that are just near perfect. Still give it on a grading scale and A-.
Let me just offer my impression... and it is only one man's opinion. You can read my other comment to get my spontaneous reaction. But these men made music. In a live art form there are some vocal distractions that occur but I heard consistent free and easy production, "a wall of sound" to use an expression, but that term just doesn't do justice to the color, contrast, and texture inside that wall. They captured the emotion of the story that was first penned by the great Irving Berlin. Again, for me, it was a great moment of musicality and I would love to have heard it live from the center of the judges' pit where the sound would be the least affected by the sound system. For me, it was fantastic.
that bari/tenor at "in love" gets me everytime! so good
The way the two looked at each other like "the world ain't ready for this next line" and then BANG, armageddon. So good
Soooooo good
All of the comments are spot-on. I'd like to commend the Bass for such nice volume blending just under the Lead.
3:34 that is one of the most prominent overtones i ever heard
THANK YOU for pointing that out!!!! Really incredible!

Well said, completely agree
This is hands down one of the best barbershop performances ever

My absolute favorite ballad of all time.
You gentlemen are amazing! I could listen to this rendition of "When I Leave the World Behind" over and over again. BRAVO!!!
How do I find three other guys to do this with me it is so fun
WOW!!! , JUST WOW!
Incredible! The tenor sounds a lot like the tenor for the Boston Common back in the day! Their tones are very similar
These guys better make the Semis next year, what a great sound
They did!
What a tag and what a preformance
Super-fantastic-tag!
Dad Gumit - you guys nailed that one!! Woohoo!
Geniously!
hear the overtones between lead and bass!
I think I am responsible for about 20,000 of the views - so good!!
I love this one

The Four Renegades did the definitive version of this song, in my opinion.
I think you're thinking of "Last night was the end of the world."
@@agoodbambino2181 Nope.

@@zelmoziggy Ah, I see. My bad sorry.
@@agoodbambino2181 No problem. Could you play the link? I think their version is terrific. Not as intricate as these guys, but more emotional I think.
TO Overpowering towards the end.
A very poignant and emotional song. Written over a hundred years ago in 1915 by Irvin Berlin...
Those suits fit like burlap bags.
Yeah I don't think you got the point of the video.
The tag was wrong
