Absolutely! Steve Varney (overall wizard), Jeb Bows (violin), Max Barcelow (drums and other odd box-shaped things), John Paul Grigsby (bass), and Danny Black (keyboard, old pal joining them on this tour) totally help make Greg's sound the amazing thing it is.
@@danielscott1040 most days these days it is though honestly. You'll find a guy/girl with massive singing/songwriting/entertaining chops and they're surrounded by massive talent on the instruments
Listening since 2008. Saw him this year for the first time. Cried all night. Wounds were healed for me. The best folk artist of a generation and then some. The band is also unbelievably talented. Such incredible masterful musicians of their respective instruments.
One thing that endears GAI to me is how I can listen to each album straight through as a single work and not skip a single song. He has re-taught me to listen to my favorite artists’ work as a whole.
Saw him in Asheville at the beginning of October. It was absolutely soul-touching. I got some drinks out at a gin bar after the show with the friends I went with, and an hour and a half later he and the band walked in! Such a kind and gracious dude. We were on our way out, but of course we wanted to thank them for the show and their music’s impact on us. He was so humble and welcoming, offered me a photo, and invited us to chat with he and the band for a bit. His banjo/keys guy, Steve Varney, who I’m also a huge fan of, talked with me for like 20 minutes about some nerdy instrument stuff.
Amazing! I also had a short conversation with Greg a few years ago after one of his shows and had the same exact impression. Kind, gracious, humble, and welcoming! And also super inspiring.
Became a fan of Gregory this year and I saw him live twice back in August it was truly magical and incredible, he sounds so amazingly live almost like your hearing the studio versions. He also seems such like down to earth person with so much strong passion he has towards his music and his farm just a genuine human.
I was at his concert just a few days ago. I got emotional so many times. Most of the comcert I had my eyes closed. Such a profound experience, made me think if we had peace in the world. Grateful
I am not sure what emotions are going on when I hear his songs, and the backup vocals are out of this world. Everything about this is so real. Immaculate recording. Put in earbuds and be transported. ❤️
Absolutely. This is why I actually like real speakers in my home. Too many people playing music out of crappy computer speakers or (gasp) their phones. You miss so much.
I had the pleasure of seeing Gregory Alan Isakov and his band live a few weeks ago. If you have the chance, definitely go see him! It was a magical performance, a sold out crowd swaying and singing along to his songs. It was the best show I've ever been to. I hope I can see them live again someday! So, so, soooo much talent.
His voice is like the softest velvet blanket , wrapped in the perfect way, on a cold night cuddled up on a couch with a love and no where else to be but right there….lost in the lyrics and the moment.
Quiero decir que me siento feliz de descubrir a estos artistas. Hacía mucho que no encontraba algo que llegara a mi corazón. Me encanta y me acompaña en todos mis viajes.
Love this album so much but this recording is just so incredible. Each element adds to the overall whole and it’s just perfect. Get some headphones and hang for a bit.
We saw him at the Ryman a few weeks ago, such a wonderful concert, he ended the concert with the Stable song, whole audience on their feet singing with them. Wonderful night! Thank you so much.
I was there too with my lifelong best friend and it was so incredible! One of those magical moments in life that I will never ever forget. God bless this band and their hearts for music and truth.
I just was able to see them live in Ann Arbor Michigan this past May 2024 amazing talent and preformamce to bad they only tour once every 5 years I pray I’m still alive since I’ll be 70 By then I love him his music and band mates that love each other and it shows !🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ ❤❤ I love you
I love how Danny fell in so seamlessly. He's another layer of love and power that makes these boys so special. What did happen to Phillip? Just curious.
I just recently stumbled on Gregory. And after hearing this, I can’t believe I passed on seeing him when he played in Mpls. That won’t happen again. Stunning
Omg this is amazing. Thank you for posting this rare version. This song hits home for me. My best friend has been through a lot and this song sums up her courage.
I'm seeing Gregory and band early next year a few days after my birthday... My favorite artist... I play ... And soak it all up :) I might steel a line from this song for an album title... I think you know which one... I'm small time it's legal ;) thanks gregory
Really enjoyed the musical set, of course, but the interview is a worthwhile listen, as well. Love the Springsteen stuff about Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad.
Magnificent ❤ A great band playing music that really just lifts me up and I have to sing along like I’m there with you all. Keep on doing what you do 💗👏 Vic xxx
Very 1865... probably. Interesting that modern music has futuristic techno push me to the next century vibes or I wish I lived in simpler times vibes. I like the later usually - i guess a soul shanty beats a modem for me.
Maybe put the ads BETWEEN the songs instead of in the middle....Why on earth would you interrupt the music and destroy the experience for your audience? That's a really good way to drive people away.
A massive talent surrounded by massive talent.

It should be, a massive talent, surrounded by a mass of talent. Right?
@@danielscott1040 most days these days it is though honestly. You'll find a guy/girl with massive singing/songwriting/entertaining chops and they're surrounded by massive talent on the instruments
We kind of just discovered this guy. He is definitely a massive talent. And his band too. What a joy just finding and being introduced to his oeuvre.
His songs are finely crafted works of art. No one does it quite like him, dreamlike, ephemeral, timeless and rooted so deeply
This is a wizard at the height of his powers
He's surrounded by wizards!!
@@jenmooney16an order of wizards
Absolutely! @@AFatRaccooon
This is the best way I’ve seen to describe Gregory’s sound

I can't wait for his show in NZ
What an awesome experience for you!
De esas anécdotas que no nos pueden faltar 😉
Amazing! I also had a short conversation with Greg a few years ago after one of his shows and had the same exact impression. Kind, gracious, humble, and welcoming! And also super inspiring.
Massive, massive thumbs up for the audio crew who worked on this session!
They engineered the sh*t out of it!!
RESPECT!

I saw him live twice and bawled both times ❤
I've been a fan for over a decade and still never saw him live. I'm jealous. Peace.
His voice transports me out of this world. This song.
I was at his concert just a few days ago. I got emotional so many times. Most of the comcert I had my eyes closed. Such a profound experience, made me think if we had peace in the world. Grateful
his music got me through depressing office jobs for years. loving the mix on this beautiful live performance. kudos to all involved

So much love for this group of musicians

Had the pleasure of being graced by these wonderful sounds in providence tonight. What a special night man. Gregory and the crew are special.
I saw them in Providence also! Wonderful concert, exceptional talent! And heart ❤
It’s hard to describe how I feel about GAI and their music. All I know is nothing else compares, I feel it my soul, and listen to them exclusively ❤
Love this album so much but this recording is just so incredible. Each element adds to the overall whole and it’s just perfect. Get some headphones and hang for a bit.

Love the ads during the songs sweet
Gregory! You make my heart smile.
This is _the_ reason to be on RUclips. Such a giant

the chat after was the icing on the cake - well done!
I find Gregory's songs most beautiful. His accompaniment is the secret sauce that takes it to heavenly. Thank you Current.
So awesome! Every song.
I love how Danny fell in so seamlessly. He's another layer of love and power that makes these boys so special. What did happen to Phillip? Just curious.
Big fan of Gregory since few years now. Pity that he won't visit Poland during this tour 😢
Amazing sound quality of the recording of an amazing sounding band. I wish when I had seen them live, the venue's acoustics had been this good.
I just recently stumbled on Gregory. And after hearing this, I can’t believe I passed on seeing him when he played in Mpls. That won’t happen again. Stunning
Favorite artist from music to farm. Love this!
Great song, very Beautiful vocals and perfect instruments collaboration.
I loved every bit of this. So beautiful.
Love this guy - he's a gem. I hear some Andrew Bird in him, as well as others. Evening Machines is my fav.
Hope someday you come to the New York City area! I’ll be there for sure.
This Empty Northern Hemisphere got me through studying for university exams back in the day
Gregory is my religion.
Gosh, his voice is just so unique. Love it.
Dublin Ireland Nov. 22nd. Cant wait...😍
Gregory and the band make music that reaches me like nothing else can.
New fave artist...by a long shot.
Simply amazing.
Getting closer to what is real in this world.
Love you my Moon and Deep Blue Sea ❤
such a masterpiece
Omg this is amazing. Thank you for posting this rare version. This song hits home for me. My best friend has been through a lot and this song sums up her courage.
What an absolute treat! And 2 days before Gregory's birthday. Amazing 👏 ❤
Amazing vocal range
So incredibly healing and magical is Gregory.
I really wish this live version was available on their platforms. I really think these versions are superior to their studio versions.
What a great sound, new fan here 🙌🙌
This was so good! They sound amazing no matter where or what they are doing! Cant wait to see him live again!
Wonderful interview - Gregory is such a great guy and he and the band just seem to blend so well
I just love this!!! Please bring more GAI
I'm seeing Gregory and band early next year a few days after my birthday... My favorite artist... I play ... And soak it all up :) I might steel a line from this song for an album title... I think you know which one... I'm small time it's legal ;) thanks gregory
Really enjoyed the musical set, of course, but the interview is a worthwhile listen, as well. Love the Springsteen stuff about Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad.
Saw him and the band in Atlanta. Such beautiful skills.
Nice to see Mac Wilson dressing up for the interview.
Magnificent ❤ A great band playing music that really just lifts me up and I have to sing along like I’m there with you all. Keep on doing what you do 💗👏 Vic xxx
ABILITY and perfect TIMING makes Gregory great 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Gregory Alan IsakGOD

Beautiful, fellas!
You all bring music to life; wonderful. 🎶
Divine
...my heart just shattered.
Absolutely phenomenal!
Aww man, you guys are awesome 👌
Absolute genius
Lol, my next record is not cohesive but listening to Greg for years inspires me to start making records with more of plan.
Incredible. Thank you. ❤
Incredible.
My greatest wish is to see GAI live. Unfortunately he doesnt stop at my country on his tour.
I did see him live 5 days ago in Montreal, Canada! I had been waiting for this for years! I hope you will get to see him soon!
🎉 wow - sweet sounds
best song ever
OMFG THIS IS GOOD! Love you Isakov
brilliant
this is beautiful........
just... WOW!
Singing beautifully...
I really hope you'll find this.
Thank you!
gregory is the man!!
AMAZING!!! 😊
Impressionante.
Best ❤
Esse cara é genial
Why allow an ad to interrupt the middle of the performance
Can anybody identify what sort of instrument Max is playing? Thanks!
Pretty sure it’s a harmonium
Thank you @@smallships !
Call me hater, idc. This dude wore cargo SHORTS to interview GAI. SHOW SOME RESPECT. Smh
Very 1865... probably. Interesting that modern music has futuristic techno push me to the next century vibes or I wish I lived in simpler times vibes. I like the later usually - i guess a soul shanty beats a modem for me.
❤
Is it me or did the interviewer ask some really random questions?
Where has Steve Varney gone?
He’s playing piano
We all break a little…
👍
Maybe put the ads BETWEEN the songs instead of in the middle....Why on earth would you interrupt the music and destroy the experience for your audience? That's a really good way to drive people away.
the guy with 3 instruments better get extra
No one loves GAI more than I do.
I challenge you to
🙄🤣
That interviewer is so far removed from how Gregory lives lol. Referencing Rage and Greg’s like oh yea cool. Sorry man I play beautiful earthly music.
