I think Chris and Edgar are both bat shit crazy brilliant I usually fall asleep listening to them while my husband is in ICU. Thank you for the music it soothes me
this is what you get if you search realy really hard to find good music...amazing stuff...its beyond bluegrass/jazz/country/Irish or anything you care to mention..............fab
On the surface, this could be any two of thousands of mandolin and bass players--but the technical perfection and expressiveness show that here are two of the best players in the world. Beautifully done!
At 1:52 Meyer picks the E string with his left hand, at the same time as he starts the bow stroke, to make sure the sound comes immediately. Very interesting!
Are there any more videos in this setting?? I love when Chris and Edgar go duo. Best of both high and low ranges. Plus a truly gorgeous setting. They surely had to have recorded more than one song...
+Rescued & Reconciled absolutely! I love the album, I was just wondering about video, because this is exceptional. The album is fantastic though. Chris and Edgar are both so delicate yet vigorously passionate.
+Rescued & Reconciled I guess it gives reason to the name "Why Only One?" haha. I would think they brought all the equipment out, and have it set up - why not record a couple tunes in this incredible setting? I love it, just want more! Haha
This vid is incredibly impressive. Not a single thing to critique. Cudos to filming/audio crew's capture on this too! It is SO nice to see how Edgar is aging too, it's like seeing an old friend after many years!
Great music. Well recorded, lot's of passion. I think this is a wonderful recording. Too much camera movement to watch. I had turn off the monitor to enjoy it. Thank you very much for uploading this.
Wonderful music nice audio recording and camerawork. But did the filmmaker forget to color correct their footage? Might as well have just done it in B&W.

Musicians that are clearly outstanding in their field (of music). Sorry, I couldn't resist.
But, how do we know that it's their field?
OH MY GOD :D you win!!
That should read "Who are clearly, out, standing in their field." Ha, ha! ;b
If you didn't say this, I was going to.
Mountainous, monumental talents!
I was really lucky to see one of Edgar Meyers concerts AND meet him backstage
I’ve been listening to Meyer at least 40 years. He never disappoints.
One of the best bassists alive, that solo 3 minutes in was so killer
IKR, the solo was insane!!
I think Chris and Edgar are both bat shit crazy brilliant I usually fall asleep listening to them while my husband is in ICU. Thank you for the music it soothes me
Am I the only one who watch this every single day?
this is what you get if you search realy really hard to find good music...amazing stuff...its beyond bluegrass/jazz/country/Irish or anything you care to mention..............fab
I love music, but it rarely moves me. That being said I don't even know where I am now it moved me so much.
You're an enigma
On the surface, this could be any two of thousands of mandolin and bass players--but the technical perfection and expressiveness show that here are two of the best players in the world. Beautifully done!
Heavenly, mountain music. Phenomenal.
Two masters at work.
Can you imagine if we had video of Socrates teaching a class. That is the blessing bestowed on us by these two.
Thank you.
I didn't know Socrates was in a bluegrass band...
+Jason Baldwin He wasn't, actually not many people know that but he was a Greek philosopher.
Nickel Greek
Yeah👍
Yeah, like the Feynman Lectures
Great playing, of course, but I have to commend the camera work and audio quality, too. Very well done!
That would be Mason Jar Music. They're good.
The choice of environment was also acoustically ideal.
Meyer makes think of an older Mark Rufalo. The Hulk on the double bass! haha! I love those guys, love this channel.
My wife and I just witnessed a flawless performance of this piece and many others by this amazing duo at the Chicago symphony center!
best recording studio in the world!
One of the greatest music videos I've ever seen. Wish there was more like this! Brings me back to my childhood at Strawberry music festival :(
chirs is an absolute madman! what an amazing style of playing.
This is my most favorite Chris Thile film, ever. I find I keeping coming back to this performance, a Bluegrass Situation jem.
3:19 My new favorite fretless Bass trick. Thanks !!!! WOW !!!!!
Outstanding in their field!
that's about as raw as it gets and a perfect setting
Two legends performing in an amazing location--love it!
Chris Thile's Mandolin playing is incredible... But watching Edgar Meyer play Double Bass is something else.
Daaaaamn. That was so awesome in so many ways.
One of the most honest and organic videos such a great tone and feel. The simple melody is superb!!
Bit of a strange thing to comment on but I love Edgar Meyer's dress sense. Ultimate old-school dad outfits and they look great on him.
Your best friends dad and she never knew why you were always over there. ❤😊 He was just that kool musician dad all the kids just loved.
Look at that scenic view. Wow!
The land scape reminds me of, when as a child we used to visit my grandmother who lived quite near Glenfinnan in scotland
The ENERGY is remarkable powerful bursts of passion for music. This is powerful hypnotic and has a message.
Two of the greatest in the world, together. Thank you. Lord, for this. I saw them together in concert playing this - best concert I've ever seen.
I discovered this song years ago and I still love it to this day,it takes me to a place far away...thank you Chris and Edger for this master piece
Very nice guys! Thank you for the passion...
what is there really, to Dislike about this? Way to go guys. Bringing a lovely fun slant to this. Thank you for sharing your talents.
The synchrony they have and the dynamic they posses is amazing
At 1:52 Meyer picks the E string with his left hand, at the same time as he starts the bow stroke, to make sure the sound comes immediately. Very interesting!
I love this one, it's so beautiful I always imagine hiking while listening to it.
What the actual ???? - this is some amazing talent - first picked up on Chris Thile through his collaboration with Brad Mehldau.
Amazing performance and amazing production. I really hope there is going to be more of these.
My two favorite instruments. The bass and the mandolin.
So fluid. Great sound engineering, too. In an open field? Am I imagining this?
Again, I say, brilliant!
Beautiful!
Meyer's solo at 3:01 is so soulful! This tune has been in my head--along with most of the tunes, really--since I received the new album. Bravo! :D
God I love your music Chris!
I find this very inspiring. Beautiful.
I never get tired of this
Brilliant!
Two amazing musicians! Superb scenery!
Amazing song and video. Wow.
Excellent in a very unique kinda way.
Thanx
I must go to Telluride, CO.
This is just beyond amazing
Wish I was there in that field listening to that music. ⛺🎶
What a setting!
Fantastic! Great stuff.
my uncles played bluegrass ; this is jazz - of the best kind
Are there any more videos in this setting?? I love when Chris and Edgar go duo. Best of both high and low ranges. Plus a truly gorgeous setting. They surely had to have recorded more than one song...
+Josh Elmore they have an album together Bass & Mandolin
+Rescued & Reconciled absolutely! I love the album, I was just wondering about video, because this is exceptional. The album is fantastic though. Chris and Edgar are both so delicate yet vigorously passionate.
+Josh Elmore well said. I wish I new the answer too....
that is a cool setting
+Rescued & Reconciled I guess it gives reason to the name "Why Only One?" haha. I would think they brought all the equipment out, and have it set up - why not record a couple tunes in this incredible setting? I love it, just want more! Haha
+Josh Elmore I was laughing about that with the name too :D
unreal talent omg
Superb!!
This vid is incredibly impressive. Not a single thing to critique. Cudos to filming/audio crew's capture on this too! It is SO nice to see how Edgar is aging too, it's like seeing an old friend after many years!
Love the backdrop...
Looks like old Robert Redford film footage.
Sounds killer !
A bit of Jeremiah Johnson - would love to hear these guys' take on the soundtrack to that
Nice! I enjoyed this.
How the hell did they get that sound quality? You'd think that recording outside in an empty field would give you nothing but wind interference
Mat Grinnell no shotgun mics. what you see is what you hear.
As good as it gets!
Edgar Meyer você é perfeito
I love it.
Awesome.
Wonderful!! :)
The fact he just starts another bpm and slides right back into the previous one is very interesting.
I wish I could like it twice.
Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like this could have been a scene in A River Runs Through It.
A good tune is second to none! ;-)
very good!!!! ad maiora!!!!!
Love it
haha I just love Chris's face my orchestra teacher showed us this song just so u a know I'm a bass player ;^} ♡ ☆
Thats on point im savin itin a jar
The Bluegrass Situation Would love to know what kind of sound equipment you are using for those outdoor videos.
I want that bass.....
WOW MY GOODNESS
Since when did deere make fly wheels plastic 1:29 althought the aluminum casing is sexy 1:59
Great music. Well recorded, lot's of passion. I think this is a wonderful recording. Too much camera movement to watch. I had turn off the monitor to enjoy it. Thank you very much for uploading this.
Perfection
Omma go off
Anyone know where I could purchase sheet music for the mandolin to this tune? Transcribing it would be a beast! Thanks!
No doubt, blah!
+dennis roberts "brah"
Wonderful music nice audio recording and camerawork. But did the filmmaker forget to color correct their footage? Might as well have just done it in B&W.
Under-saturated is hip.
I kind of love the color treatment.
I really love this but where are the mics plugged into?! Must be one hell of an extension lead.
Honour your heavenly father
Green and Grey is my favorite Nickle Creek song.
Gorgeous
And im clockin in too 2:35
Lots of snow there.
Thanks god for stuff like this.... What a fuckin' wonderwonderwonderfull world
Someone should hire them for a movie soundtrack
Wow wow wow.
Happy president day from holston vally high school 1956 4:02
Imma look for jack branches fiddle 3:11
How was this recorded? How did you get power for the mics outside?
There are special multitrack HD field recorders, with batteries that will last for at least 4 hours. They are also widely used for film recording.
Spoon for what 3:11
