Hear his solo from Close to You from the same concert... I was there and it was the peak of the performance imo. That or his improvised version of You and I.
@Hybo last time I checked reading notes wasn't really a requirement for musicians. Meanwhile your comment imply that you have some capacity to read notes, which isn't something most non-musicians can say
I don't think "there's no reason for you to be alive" is the same as "life has no meaning". I understand the former more as "there is nothing concrete thing whose consequence is that you are alive".
@@viktorajstein he meant that there is no objective, given, pre-outlined meaning; you create your own meaning in life, and you can make it be whatever you want.
I'm assuming this recording doesn't do the song justice, but I appreciate you recording this regardless. Jacob and the band are amazing! Can't help but be drawn to his creations.
I was trying to figure this out the other day and all i can say is the main sound engineer i think the Spaniard just improvised and dampened Jacobs voice at that moment he says underneath the surface. i cant see any thing in Jacobs hand and hes sitting so no pedals...i think it was preplanned when he brings up funk thats the cue
I listened to it again and I think the cameraman just adjusted his grip and muffled the microphone since the ambient sound of the room sounded different too
@@magicomerv i was at the show it happened in real time u can also hear the crowd react. I can only figure it was choreographed in his banter about new material
anyone knows how Jacob Collier played the drum/percussion at 6:48 ? Need to know the theory or technique, or just some explanation of it. It seems like duplet but also off the tempo, idk..(sorry bad english)
He was doing a tuplet swing, which is referred to as "drunken rhythm". Jacob uses a lot of these drunken rhythms - check out Close to You and With the Love in My Heart.
@@grudman7885 Ohh thankyouu man, i finally got it, after re watch this in 0,5x speed. So, his right hand is completing the triplet after his left hand started it, and also theres some accents in the end. I'm really amazed by how complex and fast it is, bcs im not a drummer but i really want to play that, but that looks so hard XD
@@ottobismar8497 The sticking is RLL rLL RLL RLL rLL rLL RLL rLL and basically repeat that. R = Right hand L = Left Hand (In the video he's leading the cowbell pattern with the Left, so just reverse the sticking to copy exactly - this is the sticking for the rest of us right handed folks). The capital Rs are accents, the small r's are ghost notes (soft) and obviously he's got a groove going between the floor Tom and the Snare. If you spend some time practicing it slowly, you can get it- the pattern is pretty simple actually, it's just the shock and sudden spastic contrast of throwing that in there when he did that made it so exciting musically. And he's playing it as he says in the intro, with the enthusiasm and playfulness of a child (and the timing and finesse of a professional musician as well, of course).
the words aren’t the point of his music. the instrumentals alone tell their own story. the lyrics are kind of an afterthought when listening to his music.
covid made collaborations, releases (etc) more difficult. He still released 3 volumes, which is pretty good. The 4th is coming out this year (or in the beginning of the next)
Marino Scarpa I just don’t agree with the view that there’s no meaning in life that he expressed before the tune. Especially from a person like Jacob who creates such rich meaning in his own music.
@@purringcamel567 i don't think he mean it in a nihilistic way, i think he meant that we should live life like kids do: without intellectualizing everything but instead just living each moment as it is. Basically in a playful way not taking It too seriously
Unfortunately, his music lacks emotional depth. People are impressed by his skills just like they are impressed by fireworks. He doesn't show any true personality, any vulnerability, he doesn't even sing with his own authentic voice. There is no narrative, no story that touches you, that you would carry in your heart after listening, that teaches you about yourself, and helps you to grow. With his extremely high level of technicality, he manages to distract people from his and their own emptiness.
wow. you really aren't hearing it are you. have you listened to Home? or Overture? His arrangement of All Night Long? if you have and this is what you take away then I genuinely feel sorry for you.
I almost agree that in this case. Maybe this performance is more "showman" look a like, but not in the entire song, there is sweet moments of truly explorations, or at least a reflect of his days in privacy, explorating. And totally not in all of his songs, check more and listen care.
And this is highly subjective, maybe your brain identify "feeling" with diferents kind of gestures, colours, timbres, etc, who knows, that man make me cry and feel joy some times with his music, so at least for me this don't lack emotional depth, not at all.
That talkbox solo is from another plane of existence... what an amazingly talented dude.

This guy has so much confidence. I love it. He can sit on his grand piano.
Man - I hope he releases a live version of this song some day. This is more epic than the album version. (And the album version is pretty darn epic)
Mississippi Dave experienced it live and I can‘t agree more!
So excited for volumes 2 3 and 4
Euan Mangan What did you think of volume 2?
What did you think of volume 3?
@@redpenguin111 probably the most fun I've had listening to a record in a while
Vol. 4 might come next year and I'm soooo excited.
"Are there any musicians?" Lol, pretending like non-musicians go to his concerts
@Hybo last time I checked reading notes wasn't really a requirement for musicians. Meanwhile your comment imply that you have some capacity to read notes, which isn't something most non-musicians can say
@Hybo fair enough. Anyway my point was that it was a silly thing to ask since overwhelming majority of his fan base are musicians
god I love this guy. What a genuine, outwardly and effortlessly genius person
who cant wait for djesse volume 5?
Thank you for capturing all of Jacob’s LA shows! It’s wonderful to have a memento of each concert.
Awesome! I was there! When you hear it live it’s unbelievable
Класс!
Yooooooo, I was no where ready for that talk box. I feel like the song “djesse” is a little underrated, and hearing it done like this was just amazing
*While I don't agree with his philosophy that life has no meaning, I still think he's a genius and amazing person.*
I don't think "there's no reason for you to be alive" is the same as "life has no meaning". I understand the former more as "there is nothing concrete thing whose consequence is that you are alive".
@@viktorajstein They still both fall under nihilism
@@viktorajstein he meant that there is no objective, given, pre-outlined meaning; you create your own meaning in life, and you can make it be whatever you want.
This is a Collier line train to Djesse volumes 2, 3 & 4.
mad crazy incredible !
I’m... I’m.. Jesse
this is the lighter side of prog 😂
christian jacob leongson its not prog
obviously
I read the title and clicked thinking this was going to be djent related.....I'm dumb.
this dude is weird, but he is one hell of a musician
All the best people in the world usually are.

why, and i cannot stress this enough, THE FUCK, is no one talking about that BONKERS TALK BOX SEGMENT??????

So what he’s basically saying is that he is the musical Peter Pan??

wonderful music and stuff but i find it hard to hear the words clearly in jacobs music
the words aren’t the point of his music. the instrumentals alone tell their own story. the lyrics are kind of an afterthought when listening to his music.
well they werent released over the course of a year
covid made collaborations, releases (etc) more difficult. He still released 3 volumes, which is pretty good. The 4th is coming out this year (or in the beginning of the next)
What a horrible outlook on the wonderful life we live in.
What do you mean?
Marino Scarpa I just don’t agree with the view that there’s no meaning in life that he expressed before the tune. Especially from a person like Jacob who creates such rich meaning in his own music.
@@purringcamel567 I think its more that we create the meaning, rather than there being a fixed meaning.
J2D2 Yeah Definitely. I don’t know if he meant that or not. But if he did, it just didn’t come across that way to me, I guess
@@purringcamel567 i don't think he mean it in a nihilistic way, i think he meant that we should live life like kids do: without intellectualizing everything but instead just living each moment as it is. Basically in a playful way not taking It too seriously
tanto talento, lástima la música. que se ponga a hacer algo productivo.
?
Lo que tu digas
qué es la productividad? sirve?
@@juanquiroga8933 supongo que se refiere a producir sonidos más simples que él pueda entender, seguramente no consigue procesar la música de Jacob

Till Schulz that was my thought as well until I heard songs like In The Real Early Morning and Hideaway. Plz check those out before passing judgment

you're not ready for this Jr.
Can’t tell if this is a joke😅
