I don't care what any1 says Bireli is the GREATEST guitar player in the world in my eyes, no other guitarist has ever impressed me the way Bireli does!! I'm not saying this just because of his amazing skill in manouche but i've seen this guy play metal, bi-bop, different latin styles, classical, blues, rock, fusion, and hes amazing in all of them.....is there anything he can't do!!!
I’m not young anymore and I’ve listened to a lot of musicians in my life. Well: this guy always surprises me, always raises the level of the song he’s playing so high, always he fills of wonder the music. Bireli is an authentic outsider, a real genius.
I know there are about a hundred moments of brilliance in this clip, but I wanted to point out the part around 0:32. He played the arpeggio along with the harmony by himself! Never seen that before.
M. Lagrene é sem dúvida um dos maiores violonistas do mundo de todos os tempos! É sempre uma maravilha ouvi-lo! Parabéns também àqueles que o acompanham! Extraordinários!
Un grand moment de l'histoire de la musique !! heureusement qu'on est dans une époque ou les cameras existent pour saisir a tout jamais ces moments là!
Are you for real? Lagrene is one of the most animated musicians playing today. Furthermore, he isn’t good. He is unbelievable. The most imaginative guitarist I have seen.
Ich hab ihn ca. 1986 im Logo in Hamburg gesehen, er an der E Gitarre mit pierre moerlin(Gong) am Schlagzeug und vielleicht Hansford Rowe am Bass. Der war da ca. 20. Die Leute haben 45 Minuten!!!!! nach Konzertende und Saallicht weiter applaudiert. Ein Konzert, wie ich es nie vorher oder nachher erlebt habe, obwohl ich hunderte von Konzerten gesehen habe. Die Kombination aus absoluter harmonischer und technischer Sicherheit mit überwältigender Musikalität ist einmalig und macht ihn aus meiner Sicht zu einem Jahrhundermusiker. I saw him about 1986 in an Hamburg Club , him tab the electric guitar with pierre moerlin (Gong) and maybe Hansford Rowe on bass guitar. He about 20 years old. The audience gave a 45 Minutes continuing applause after the end of the concert with full hall light. It was a concert I never experiencend before or later, visiting hundreds of concerts.The Combination of harmonic and technical perfection with overwhelming musicality makes him to talent only showing off in centuries
thanks ben - I missed the final smile - came back to watch it again for the fourth time in two days - it looked like genuine personal recognition of "that went well"
bravo t'en a fait du chemin depuis les gypsy king quelle maitrise tu disais dans un vieux guitard world je cite "Dès l'age de dix ans,j'ai voulu avoir mon propre son,mes propres phrasés.Mais je n'en ai pas eu l'opportunité,car mes parent insistait pour que je joue du django.Ce que j'ai fait." et bien franchement clement gabbai te dit quelle maitrise et quel son
Bireli , c'est une technique indéniable mais surtout c'est une musicalité hors du commun ... Si j'étais croyant , je dirais qu' il a été touché pas la main de Dieu.. Bravo !!!
Oh My GODDDDD!!!What is he doing????????????? Awesome guitarist artist musician call it as you want!This guy is awesome I see him first time today and the First think I do is to make this person Famous in Greece!!!!! Hail \m/
I saw Biréli Lagrène in Marina Del Rey in Los Angeles back in 83. He played a whole set with a Mickey Mouse hat on his head. He's was such a great player even back then, that after he played the first song, nobody noticed anymore.
I was looking for a song illustrating Bireli's incredible sens of harmony, and unlimited creativity...Here it is !!! Bireli at his best...he is a real alien, a jazz genius...he's not playing guitar, he is singing, telling a true story...What amazes me is that during a concert you will never hear Bireli playing a musical phrase he would have already recorded, his capacity of everytime renewing his improvisations, and ability to instantly follow any musical melody that crosses his mind...Bireli every note I hear from you is a delight, I truly love your playing !
Hard to better Django in any case. Even harder when there's only one recording of Django doing this number - oneoffs tend towards the iconic in his oeuvre. This does it with a couple of lengths to spare. Brings a lump to the throat even after the 50th listen - people, if someone insists on telling you Gilmour's solo on Comfortably Numb is the top guitar solo ever, just point 'em right here. This is peerless.
Man, this concert was like a thunderbolt to the gypsy jazz world. It’s only grown from here. Lots of good features and an incredibly long concert, but the opening set here by Bireli and Florin is unsurpassable! The peak of plectrum style ever captured on film.

Check out Yamandu Costa, I guess he wasn't around 12 years ago :)

Ivju😢
It's my mother's cousin (:
And so told my mother, he alaws feels like u told :)
Biréli is in a class of his own...
This rendition is out of this world...
The way he plays those harmonics is so cool
I was in awe of that-came here to see if anyone else mentioned it. Especially coming from a classical guitar. I need distortion to cheat.
It is, check out Lenny Breau for someone who's a master of that technique
un des rare guiariste manouche qui raconte une histoire quand il joue !! tout simplement magnifique !!
The best living guitar player??? Do we forget this?? We'll be sorry when he's gone!!
In my opinion when i saw him with this group i felt i was in France in a smokey club..he was that good..thank you for this post greatly appreciated!

Bireli is so Amazing...His Stage Presence...His Confidence...His Virtuosity...His Humour...and... Also He is not too bad at playing the Guitar.
What a joy to experience this wonderful musician. Thank you for posting this.
one of Bireli's best... absolutely magic guitar playing... full of soul.
One of the all time greats of the guitar.
a big wow, Bireli is among the most great guitar players ever !... :)
J'espére être encore là dans 100 ans pour écouté une tel interprétation
Merci Mr Lagrène.

Le solo tout en harmoniques, qu'est-ce que c'est beau
un truc de fou
Merci de tout cœur Bireli, pour cette expression musicale DIVINE
This is impossibly awesome! 🔥🎸
This guy's technique is off the charts. Unbelievable!
I have no words, just can say WOW WOW WOW , Bireli i love you

Il y a un moment de grâce, et ce morceau en est un ! Marci merci merci
The way he uses harmonics at 1:39 is just awe inspiring. Sounds so delicate and full of emotion...
Unlimited... Natural application direct through reflection... This guy is a master.
Just transcribed a bunch of these licks and posted them on my channel. Enjoy them - they are Awesome!
Buy the DVD. Best investment in learning this style.
Pure poetry. Thank you Bireli!
THAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME!
☆☆☆☆☆
My favourite guitar player of all time
Was für eine magische Virtuosität,... Großartig
AMMAZZING Birèli is the best manouche player
Unbelievable guitar playing, absolutely mint
Certainement le meilleur guitariste !
thanks ben - I missed the final smile - came back to watch it again for the fourth time in two days - it looked like genuine personal recognition of "that went well"
Bireli Lagrene, the illest to ever do it... le meilleur aujourd'hui!

Le maître du jazz manouche exprime son art.
Merci de votre clip.

He's was such a great player even back then, that after he played the first song, nobody noticed anymore.
3:10 - Appassionata, 3:32 - Fur Elise. Beethoven would be proud:)
Merci à Bireli pr ce moment de libertée musicale !
C'est trop bon dés le matin au réveil
This is a band and Bireli is amazing as always.
Gorgeous playing
Si tu savais que tu allais prendre une méga tarte dans la face en mattand ça ... c'est un solo Enorme !!
the string-skipping at the end of the video made me rewind and watch closely since I was just listening to the music. Holy mother of god.
simplement....sublime et humble....on aura toujours beaucoup à apprendre...
semplicemente divino ... irrangiungibile ... incredibile ... fantastico ... e chi più ne ha ne metta ...
C'est magnifique ce que Bireli peut faire avec sa guitare, SUPER

Les mots sont tous repetes, mais vrais: Magnifique! Super! Excelent! Merci pour partager!
Superbe ...Bireli est grandiose!
¡Biréli Lagrène nous donne beaucoup!
Maestro inarrivabile. Pura classe
What a piece....!!!
WoW pour la qualité image et son qui est digne de la qualité de Bireli.
Bravo!
oh my fucking god
DITTO!
j'allais dire le meilleur de ses solos, mais c dur, à la chanson suivante tu penses pareil ;-)))
Superb, just beautiful.
Jesus that technique is "streching it off the limits"
He still sounds amazing. Congratulations are in order for this musician.
Bravo!
the best guitar player of all time!!!

imbatable, often imitated, never equalled, number one of jazz manouche.
Exceptional playing!!!
That was pure genius, sublime.
Fantastic !!! Sonia amaral
Is the number 10'000 comment i make on Bireli performance.... another world's guitarist..........................
Deep blue and brilliant yellow-white.
one of my favorite players. wonderful!
it is soooo good!!
Out of this world!!
you usually hear a few notes done with pinch harmonics - he did 45 seconds; that's amazing finger control
C´est superbe!!!!
You`re so Right my Friend !!
magnifique, comme d'habitude!
Biréli is simply amazing.
this is superb
Le morceau joué en duo avec le regretté Henri Salvador ("Envie de toi") est exceptionnel. Je vous invite à l'écouter.
Wonder how much he sold his soul for to attain these remarkable skills!!!!
Amazing!
il raconte toute une histoire avec sa guitare qui est Genial!!!!
Man, this concert was like a thunderbolt to the gypsy jazz world. It’s only grown from here.
Lots of good features and an incredibly long concert, but the opening set here by Bireli and Florin is unsurpassable! The peak of plectrum style ever captured on film.
Everything I watch Bireli, I get to the conclusion that he is playing a different instrument than me.
Same instrument...more talent.
He is playing in his own league …
There are a lot of great guitarists on this planet, but Bireli really isn't of this planet. I think he is the most creative guitarist in history.
Beautiful.
Incroyable mais vrai... The 👑
nicht gerade Dominik Miller aber hingebungsvoll und sehr gefühlvoll, klasse!!!
WOW! LOTS OF REALLY FANCY STUFF IN THIS VIDEO.
Sans voix... le paradis de la guitare...
La plus incroyable des vidéos manouche
Incroyable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
too good for being human
That. Was. Incredible.
Speachless.
"Si Tu Savais - Biréli Lagrène (High Quality)" -Could not of said it any better!
nice tune bereli diz would have loved it !!!!! did anyone notice the mozart notatation at the end of the tune ?? well vienne was his home after all .
incroyablement bon!!
