Are you referring to the boss me 80 being used at the Grammys or that Tim is a boss. I agree Tim is a great player, but I was surprised to see a boss me multi fix on that stage. That says a lot for boss.
Holy Moly! The amount of music this band is responsible for playing, energetically and flawlessly, would cause me to wilt, maybe three songs in. These guys sound like they've been playing this material for months. They really are the best.
Tim, Dean Parks, Lee and Vinnie. Holy crap. Best of the best. What a lot of work to pull all those charts and styles off in a one shot deal. Thanks so much for sharing the behind the scenes. Much rather watch that. Big talent, big hearts.❤️
Tim, Dean Parks, Leland Sklar, Vinnie Colaiuta, Luis Conte, Harry Kim and George Shelby (so effectively half of The Vine Street Horns), talk about a stellar line-up ! I can't begin to imagine the cumulated number of platinum records (and millions of records sold, and Top 10 hits) the backing band has to its name, possibly more than the whole audience itself...
When Toto came to Argentina, we were waiting the band outside the sound check, and Lee Sklar went out first. He was very humble, nice and happy to see us. We hug him, and took pictures. Great day!
Real musicians, real music. No PT editing this time indeed. This is art we’re proud about as humans. Thank you Mr. pierce and thank you everyone quoted here for making my life in music special, my heart and soul are grateful. With love and deep respect and admiration, Joe.
Although I wanted to be a rock star when I was young, as we all do, as I matured I felt increasing relief that I didn't go down that road--and this video is a perfect example of why. What is required of you to even earn a dime in music is staggering. Whether it's the ability to instantly play any sheet that's dropped in front of you, or simply the ability to get along with people and socially network in the right way to get work, it's a life I'm glad I don't have to live. Meanwhile, in my home studio with my guitars and basses, I can play and write music to my heart's content, with no pressure at all. It is my passion and thankfully not what I depend upon to keep a roof over my head and food on the table. All of this is also my way of saying how much I respect musicians like Tim. He walks the walk.
Better believe it, I did it for 6 months in my early 20's, toured with a Band, easier ways to make a living, why spoil something you enjoy, by having to do it as a Job, the same reasons, I didnt pursue being a Porn Star.
This is the kinda level of playing all band folks should aspire to. That rehearsal sounded mint. Totally relaxed and where communication is never an issue. Also that’s a dream load-in!
Please give me some time to pick up my jaw from the floor. Outstanding Tim. And Dean Parks in there as well. Never is the art of rhythm guitar been better displayed. Two masters at once. Wow wow wow. Thank you so much for letting us be flys on the wall.
Who would want to go that 'other' Grammy show when this is available?? Vinnie, Lee Sklar, Tim, Dean Parks, Luis...it's nothing but the best of the best! And did I see Dean with a Boss ME 80 at his feet?
I noticed that ME80, too. I had an ME70 that I traded with some in combination with some other gear to "upgrade" to an MS-3. The MS-3 is pretty awesome, but still kicking myself for getting rid of the ME70. I don't think you can beat the design of Boss's ME series of multieffects units if you are looking for something that functions like a whole pedalboard full of analog pedals combined into one unit. Tons of extremely usable tones, very easy to tweak on the fly, comes with cab simulation, and has the ability to save presets. There is still a little bit of that "tone-suck" you find with digital multi units, but certainly not any more than you're going to find on average with anything else. If that thing had a talkbox setting you would never need anything else.
The most impressive part of a gig like this is the ability to stay “in the moment” while also being able to stay ready for cues from the MD. I’ve MD-ed a few gigs in my day, and I would have given anything to have a group of musicians that were as dialed in to my cues as this group. With even half the talent it would still make for a tight gig. That is the essence of professionalism IMO, when your first priority is playing for the ensemble, with yourself (and your ego) in the back seat.
This award show I'd actually watch. This is where the real musicians and the people who make it happen get their recognition. Thanks for showing us this!
truly inspiring and eye opening how much work goes behind the scenes and as always great work from all involved. I believe the real grammys could learn a thing or two from these performances and the amount of passion everyone puts into them.
What an absolutely absolutely fabulous actual working musician behind the scenes video!!!!! I was hoping TimP would do this and here it is!! Awesome!! And then there is the flawless ease TimP brings to this serious game!! So cool!!
All of the truly wonderful comments left here for Tim don’t really even scratch the surface of just how talented and genuine and humble he is. He makes it look like anyone could do it, and at the same, probably makes many of the talented guitarists watching here say “what is the point!” 😁
I love the amount of middle pickup strat tone you use. There seems to be a lot of players who never go there. That's a pity really as it has always struck me as a really useful tone.
This is the big boy's club...all the music schools in the world and the handful of cats in this band are the best...what a club! ...and to play next to Vinnie all night!
I’m always blow away by the adaptability and flexibility of legendary studio pros like Tim, Dean Parks, Jay Graydon, Ray Parker, Glenn Campbell, etc... They can more then passably play just about anything
Dean Parks, also played on MJ's 'Thriller' album if I remember correctly and once was in a band called 'Koinonia', together with Abe Laboriel snr and Alex Acuna :-)
Love how Marco slowly swivels around on that chair - and has that look we all once had when first hearing good music - wow this is something else, this is taking me somewhere.
I have been noodling on the guitar for 52 year.s. I consider myself an average player and I want to hone up on my skills so I just signed up for a year subscription to Tim Pierce's Masterclass. You're never too old and never too good. Thanks Tim.
Unless most of us are just ignorant, Tim's ability, knowledge and skills make us realize how far below we are on this ego trip of entertainment and ability on our instruments. All bow to Tim! Amen!!
I'm amazed (and jealous) that you are so calm and relaxed throughout the gig. No different than in your home. As a working musician, I struggle with this.
Your channel reveals your skills, but this video shows how great you are when the pressure is on, with millions listening, and your reputation just a missed fret away from disaster. Thanks for a great video!
As a pro MD in Australia, playing guitar & keys, I've done similar gigs sooo many times. It might get tedious, but it never gets old, coz you're always present in the moment. Thankyou Tim for sharing this footage. Love love love it!!
The beginning kind of reminds me of when I took my daughter and her friend to see some forever touring American band in the uk (I waited outside) and found myself in the very unglamorous carpark drinking a beer with the support band. Bit weird as I hear them on the radio a lot now.
I love the idea that not only is this a great gig, but it's also a way to give to the music community and help smaller artists to grow. You are the man!
This band is just so dam good! I am in tears at their precision, range, skill and discipline. Just so flippin awesome!! Maybe it’s being an old guy, now, but, I love bands full of old guys. This goes to show, you just never know who you’re standing next to at Walmart or Subway. The 70 year old bald dude with bad joints and a hunch in his back may be a total badass. I’m here via Rick Beato, FYI.
The life of a session musician is one that has to be nothing but exciting and absolutely exhausting. I can't even imagine the pressure it puts on you to be the best. Nothing but respect for session musicians!
Man these are my favorite videos of your Tim. The joy that I hear when you join Dean on "Afrika" is a great moment. I have so much respect for your playing, but more so for your love of being a musician.
Thanks Tim. This backstage look is one of my favorites that you publish. It gives us mortals a peak into something we will never personally experience. This also displays the professionalism of the participants, and especially yourself coming in hours ahead and ensuring everything is in place, working, and no surprises to expect. Really well done. (I hope the young boy Marco appreciates what he is experiencing during the pre-show rehearsal. He appears to be digging your guitar playing. Lucky guy! 😁).
Do you ever just totally mess up and have to recover? I'm just curious if you ever get to a point that you just never mess up, or do you just get better at covering it up. I think that would be a good topic for a video.
Don't be silly. He's not human... Seriously though, only other musicians can truly appreciate what these people do because they make it look so easy with flawless time and feel.
Some old time musician told me when I began that being a professional is just being good at hiding your mistakes. I agree, I hear him mess sometimes, but it end up being an uninspired lick among otherwise outstanding playing. And that's also a part of what blues is: bending the wrong note into the right one ;-)
@@gregoirepainchaud you cant cover chord mistakes as easy though, I think, technically, he is so proficient he barely makes any big mistakes, and when he does, he covers them with ease, one of his mos powerful techniques is his godlike muting, for chords and rithym, I think he just learns and practice the songs, he definetely listen the songs previously, also, he plays with really great musicians that make it easy and organize, in my experience, to many bands mistakes come as a result of very unprofesional organization (if any organization at all), look at all the tools they are working with, he has the charts, the music (mp3s), guys assisting them on stage, a pencil LOL, I'm pretty sure I saw ear monitors, and a director, this is not like your tipical bar band where at the middle of the night a clown goes 'I dOnT WaNT tO PlAY X sOnG, I'm BoReD OF iT, LeTS dO Y, I'lL TeAcH U GuYS iS EaSY' and the band proceeds to rape a song om stage LMAO (partly why I stopped playing for bands actually LOL)
A pro guitar player takes his fans into the heart of a professional gig ... such generosity ... of course he makes it all look wonderfully Tim-like easy .... and note how he gives props to his fellow musicians at the end ... this is how it's done kids!
Getting backstage with the pros respecting the other pros in a ceremony I didn't know existed was causing my arm and neck hairs stand up. Thank you so much for sharing these scenes Tim. Also noticed how prepared you were. "I don't need the sheet music, but thanks anyway. " You are a consumate professional. 👍 😃
Wow, Tim. How do you remember all those songs. You have your chart beside you, but I never see you looking at it. You’re looking around, smiling, and never missing a note. Awesome.
![Twenty One Pilots - The Line (from Arcane Season 2) [Official Audio]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XCz7WUotXs8/mqdefault.jpg)
Let's appreciate how happily and enthusiastically Tim celebrates other musicians on his channel.
Because he is the real deal..pure artist,not a celebrity..im glad you noticed that too..
Tim Pierce always looks like he's having the time of his life whenever he plays.
He seems like a wonderful man
Being a modern day session guitarist is simple: you just need to be a stone cold genius like Tim
No matter how many times I watch Tim play I still can't get over how amazingly talented he is.
And makes it seem so effortless
@@123person31 The basterd!

Never be afraid to bring a BOSS ME-50 to a show like that. That was a great lesson. 🤣
Tim, your playing is always great but this video in particular shows your versatility and incredible feel as a musician. I LOVE this.
Did you see how effortless the chromatic run was on 'Got To Get You Into My Life'? I busted out laughing. That's some smooth playing!

BOSS!
hi
Are you referring to the boss me 80 being used at the Grammys or that Tim is a boss. I agree Tim is a great player, but I was surprised to see a boss me multi fix on that stage. That says a lot for boss.
I'd much rather see this than most of the stuff on TV. They should at least record it and put it up on RUclips or something.
Honestly it probably doesn't occur to them there would be an audience for that
They stream it on Grammy.com
I agree🙏👍❤️💕
Agreed
Holy Moly! The amount of music this band is responsible for playing, energetically and flawlessly, would cause me to wilt, maybe three songs in. These guys sound like they've been playing this material for months. They really are the best.
Collectively, these guys have been playing music professionally for centuries, no doubt!
Just when I thought I couldn't possibly respect you more. What a great video Tim.
Good lord, what a band was sitting on that stage. Able to play, for all intents and purposes, *anything* on demand. Absolutely LOVED it.
Tim, Dean Parks, Lee and Vinnie. Holy crap. Best of the best. What a lot of work to pull all those charts and styles off in a one shot deal. Thanks so much for sharing the behind the scenes. Much rather watch that. Big talent, big hearts.❤️
No kidding! Talk about a supergroup! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
Tim, Dean Parks, Leland Sklar, Vinnie Colaiuta, Luis Conte, Harry Kim and George Shelby (so effectively half of The Vine Street Horns), talk about a stellar line-up !
I can't begin to imagine the cumulated number of platinum records (and millions of records sold, and Top 10 hits) the backing band has to its name, possibly more than the whole audience itself...
You got that right! Its mind boggling 😮
Performing at the Grammies is quite a top notch gig for the talented Tim Pierce! A true and prolific musician you are!
It's unbelievable how casual he is. He's looking around, not looking at his guitar.
He’s probably only played these songs a couple of times at most but his confidence is amazing. So effortlessly playing these songs perfectly.
Even as a drummer, your channel is incredibly important to me. Thank you Tim.
When Toto came to Argentina, we were waiting the band outside the sound check, and Lee Sklar went out first. He was very humble, nice and happy to see us. We hug him, and took pictures. Great day!
This is a terrifying level of talent. Awe-inspiring and utterly alien to my pathetic inadequacies, what a wonderful guitarist and top bloke all round.
I love this time of year when Tim showcases his work at the Grammys.
Very interesting. Thanks for the super behind the scenes look :)

Man, your playing on that Angelique Kidjo song was incredible-- your diversity of styles is stunning.
I also found that part impressive! He nailed every single bit of a completely different genre
What a great thing to hear, the back bone of working musicians professing their soul!
Dammit, Tim - as if your lead work isn’t astounding enough, your rhythm playing on this is soooooo good!
Tim, Dean Parks, Leland Sklar and Vinnie! What a line up! (But who was the trombonist?)

The musicians that the musician's choose to entertain them.... says a lot. True class showing the all the bandmates names at the end as well.
Marco is taking it all in. He may be young, but you know he appreciates the greatness that surrounds him.
I love these behind-the-scenes videos. The practice, the prep, the chaos. You guys make it look so easy, and I know how hard it is. Great video!
Just the sheer range of styles that the band perform effortlessly, switching from rock, to blues, African stuff etc. Brilliant.
Love the insights into stuff like this. Thanks Tim! 🤘
I like the kid sitting in the chair trying to figure what these guys are doing. He is a witness to greatness
and, he has that paperthing in his hands..
Can you imagine one day realizing what he was present for?!
truly inspiring and eye opening how much work goes behind the scenes and as always great work from all involved. I believe the real grammys could learn a thing or two from these performances and the amount of passion everyone puts into them.

And then there is the flawless ease TimP brings to this serious game!! So cool!!
OK, Tim. I totally geeked out, and played “Find the Sklar.” Finally spotted him behind Vinnie’s music stand!
Tim if I had just 10% of your talent, I would be classed as a good player. I can listen to your playing all day.
best moment of my musical life was discovering Tim, Dave Pensado, JAycen Joshua and warren Huart in the same time period
