i know your feels people are like " yeah don't need you in the industry, already have jacob collier. but music is about art and self, even if you are not very skilled or you don't sell, your music has a place in someone heart, believe me." so i don't know maybe you're talking about working in music, but keep playing and keep improving your skills and on top of that "yourself".
He’s up here playing 4 different instruments expertly, singing, performing and I’m sitting here eating wings struggling to remember the three lines he was asking to singing. Go me
i dont care if half of its pre recorded, this guy is one hell of a genius and this is one of the best performances ive seen, what he did with the audience is miraculous by itself.
@@wezzley99 and they joined in making it a special moment, its good there was a pre-recorded audience so they could learn the words faster and vibe with him
@@Jazga He collaborates with lots of people, guy can literally do every type of musical set up, even using the crowd as an instrument - he's gonna become a transcendent being eventually.
Amazing, but check this out..., Paul Meany playing it all, and that voice!!!! He is from a different planet!! Genius x 5!! facebook.com/mutemath/videos/10157020441918012/
Nathan Bran If you listen to some of his interviews he messes around with tuning so he can switch between just and equal temperment. Its kind of crazy.
The string slipped. It was in no way intentional. He does it before at 4:43 too, while playing those bass lines. Then continues to adjust. That string is pretty grossly out of tune, no where near equal OR just temperament. Idk if he has been experimenting with string tunings on his bass during live shows. Im sure he will. Though I believe he likes to keep the bass note equally tempered, while justly harmonizing above the fundamental.
he really knows how to work a crowd. he identified the people that could learn the first part and then took the time to teach the others the second part. i love this person
Everyone is so polarized lol. Some of Jacob’s music hits me emotionally; some doesn’t. Fields of gold didn’t really do it for me, but I found this whole jam super catchy. He is incredibly talented, but art is all about compromise. Sometimes minimalism is key, other times it degrades music by making everything sound the same. Jacob definitely isn’t a minimalist, but I appreciate that he doesn’t water down his genius grasp of theory.
I also think that is not about emotion, but about soul. Music can be appreciated as someone offering an expression of their 'soul'. For me, this is what defines music. Soul. When someone tries to make music 'emotional' intentionally, it often has little to do with music, and can come across as something else. And sometimes, a little too 'trying to be emotional'. Music is all about soul, and that is what this boy brings to the table ever. single. time.
@laerkekerstenable Wow, my initial comment was 6y ago! Time is something else. I agree with people trying to make music emotional instead of just letting it flow. It feels forced and ironically robotic. I'm finding that my best work happens when I am uncovering things in the moment. Not regurgitating the music but letting it speak to me in real time. Listening to what I'm singing and what I'm playing to reveal meanings I didn't notice or places the song feels like it wants to go musically based on where I am at that point in life or who is listening. I do feel like emotion goes hand in hand with this process as a natural response to the learning and that this emotional response is also something that I express through the music. But it has to be organic, and maintaining a sense of focus through it allows me to let all this get encoded into sound. I think this is a form of authenticity, as is being vulnerable enough to tell your own story. I've written powerful music that moves me in a way that I mostly only dreamed of when I wrote that first comment. That music has soul written all over it because it's genuine expression of my own experience, not me starting with "how do I make an impactful song?". Even if that music is dark sometimes, turning it into music is an act of taking hidden things and bringing them into the light and I think doing so for other people to hear can help them feel a sense of permission to do the same with the forces controlling them. And I think that's what makes a successful artist. You help liberate people by creating an encapsulation of what that process looks like. I'm learning to become more aware of all the layers of art. On one level of analysis you have how one chord relates to another tonaly. But if you're Jacob Collier, you might throw in some absolutely ridiculous chord that has no perceivable relationship to the other chords and then proceed to resolve it back to the song key through a winding series of chords that get you back home step by step. And the point is not even the relationship between those chords, it's the demonstration that even when you feel wildly out of place, you can still find your way back home. Little Blue by JC is the epitome of this because he doesn't just talk about finding your way home, he's constantly doing it with the music in this way. The whole song is in alignment and that is a soul song to me too. It helped me spiritually in a time of feeling disorientation and helped me be less afraid as a musician to venture into new territory and break the rules. I'm curious, how would you describe soul exactly?
A young Keanu Reeves plays The ghost of Jaco + Stevie Wonder + Donald Fagen + George Benson with the harmonic genius of Pat Metheny as a one man band that could hang with Snarky Puppy. Say what!? Amazing
I know the one man looper band is his shtick. And he kills it every time. But imagine how cool these arrangements would be with him leading a full band.
I know this comment is pretty old but there are some awesome videos of him playing with a full orchestra via BBC I believe and his tiny desk concert in which he plays with a band via NPR went up on youtube recently! both show him shining with a band behind him imo
@@typicallyvillainous1119 Indeed his Orchestra arrangements are crazy and beautiful and took him no time and he improvises along to his Orchestral backing track omg.!
You don't have to imagine what he sounds like with a full band, there are a lot of videos on youtube of him with various other artists and band members.
YO! this show was a whole other level above any of his others. He really turned the corner towards the end of this tour, how can we watch more of this performance? BBC killed this production, I CRAVE MORE
My first thought: Jakob Collier looks similar to Keanu Reeves in young years. :-) But much more significant is that he sprayed with ideas. Jakob is charismatic and I love his groove and timing. Would be a pleasure to experience you live, Jakob!
Reminds me of some 1990's work of Vinnie Coliauta. But I've lost count of how many musical titans this cat reminds me of. He mostly reminds me of Jacob Collier, and that's the most fun part.
The volume of a few things is a bit off IMO, overheads on the drums to name one, but it's so nice regardless. I like how the crowd didn't/couldn't really sing along to begin with, but he kept holding their hands until they could sing on their own. Fantastic ability to draw in the crowd.
BRILLIANT!!!!! Say what you want but he just got 2 sets of untrained (most likely) musicians to sing in some kind of syncopation while changing keys and non of them ever did that before! Wow! By the end everyone is almost like right on it! So wow cool! Omg the lyrics and his vocals leave something to be desired albeit he ran around like a mad man playing over 5 instruments while keeping perfect time and singing two sets of lyrics. Geez. If you have a complaint about this it’s because you have no idea the awesomeness you just heard! Congrats Jacob! I’m a fan of the joy you get while we enjoying together the music you make! Sincerely, Josh
dude the audience ar ebarely singing at all - its blatantly a backing track. Don;t get me wrong= I have seen some great singing at the Jacob Colliers shows - just not at this one..they were barely a crowd and they were barely participating at all - definitely not enough to make what we were hearing
Definitely shows Mr Quincy's influences in his style reformed more madure and grow to get to dancing rhythms and easier language making him connecting better with the public ;) I think Jacob is growing and doing very well impressive as an artist
I cannot WAIT to see what he up his sleeve in the coming years. i sincerely hope he stays off the road in 2018 to enjoy the fruits of his labor and recharge his batteries.
Dolores Cannon said that there are 3 waves of volunteer souls that chose to come in and help raise the vibration of humanity and save the panet, the 3rd wave born from the 90's onward being especially gifted. this kid is one of them
This dude is amazing. If you can play that many instruments, hit all those notes, play bass that good, and sing while you play bass, and think of such complex elements in a song, and casually tune in the middle of the song, you should be thought of but the public as sent by God.
Colocar deslike ou vc é um invejoso ou ou é melhor q esse fenômeno, meu Deus como alguém pode chegar a esse nível músical??!? Mestre Jacob obrigado!!!!
I'm a Metalhead and a Progressive Rocker, and . . . I just watched a phenomenal musician just killin' it on stage . . . WOW. (But I've grown up with alot of different musics since 1963 on, but this was outstanding. How the heck did I miss out on this guy?).
Same here, I think a lot of prog rock/metal fans dig him. But I remember as a kid hanging out with other fans, and they'd turn me on to Frank Zappa, Chick Corea and Return to Forever, Al Dimeola, etc... I think prog/metal fans tend to be music fans/appreciators in general.

They're a sweet couple too (Lexi), super cool people.
Jacob really inspires and makes me want to quit making music at the same time
he'd want you to keep making your own music; he'll never be you and you'll never be him
He really inspires me and makes me want to lose weight..
relatable af
You're definitely right about one of those things...
i know your feels people are like " yeah don't need you in the industry, already have jacob collier. but music is about art and self, even if you are not very skilled or you don't sell, your music has a place in someone heart, believe me."

hahah this made me laugh!
Same
LOLOL
Dont give up , I know you joking but be sure that you are great
Jaaaaaaaaaaaa jaaaaaa, oh man you´re so funny!!!!!!!!!
The way he JUMPED at keyboards at 3'58! Absolute legend!
He tuned his bass while playing keys and also playing drums and sing th.... WTF happened there . Ahahha lovely
... probably at that same moment he was composing "time alone with you" in another independent hemisphere of his brain
@@56844398 ahagah sure
*casually re-tunes the bass guitar in the middle of the song* 😂
Mahbe knocked it out of tune when he put it on the floor.
@Aziri Alain exactly 😊 decent musicians do this. He does it prominently and visible for all, which is the wonderful part 😌
i dont care if half of its pre recorded, this guy is one hell of a genius and this is one of the best performances ive seen, what he did with the audience is miraculous by itself.
dude the audience was pre recorded too..!
There are much better live recordings of him now leaving this in the dust
@@wezzley99 and they joined in making it a special moment, its good there was a pre-recorded audience so they could learn the words faster and vibe with him
He is incredibly friendly. Had the pleasure to meet him after an epic concert of him :)
Lucky fish
I love that he doesn't treat the audience like they're dummies. He was asking alot from them. And they did ok.
in the long run the man needs a band
There are videos of him playing with the entire orchestra. I like this way better.
Kamil Bartłomiejak he is the band
He needs to find a singer
@@Jazga He collaborates with lots of people, guy can literally do every type of musical set up, even using the crowd as an instrument - he's gonna become a transcendent being eventually.
The man litteraly played with snarky puppy, it was kinda dope
Them first 40 seconds made me Vulfpeck all over the place.
Waiting patiently by my phone for the RUclips notification announcing this Collab :)
@@joelBalmer1 go check out the snarky puppy and JC collab while you wait. was fking awesome.
Unbelievably funky and crazeee talented. Just discovered him tonight. Outstanding!
Dena Raptis if you’ve only discovered him now you’re in for a long ride
@@wilsonkhan9423.. lol. i am such a fan. I would live to see him live.
Dena Raptis he’s touring right now I think
This is one of those vids you start watching and keep watching until right to the end. This guy is something else.
He's pure musical genius
If there's a planet for Gods of music in the universe, he must be coming from there
Amazing, but check this out..., Paul Meany playing it all, and that voice!!!! He is from a different planet!! Genius x 5!! facebook.com/mutemath/videos/10157020441918012/
*gods
One-man-funk-band! Very nice. :)
@@jacknarloch9879 Self-righteous prick.
Dude I think he is god 😂
8:27 He is definitely in love with this music
Honestly, same
I am definitely in love with his entire existence
So sweet! makes me feel ok with existence for one moment. 💛
he's the ultimate music machine
respect à lui et à l'intégralité de ses ancêtres
So much to maintain at once. Master of multitasking
You know what... he got some pretty sick bass chops.
Love it at 4:48 where he casually tunes the string after playing a riff
Nathan Bran If you listen to some of his interviews he messes around with tuning so he can switch between just and equal temperment. Its kind of crazy.
That's called showmanship.
That's called copying Victor Wooten
Thats the thing about human progress, we build on top of each others finding. Kind of what makes this music possible, I'm sure Victor would agree ;)

What a musician. Keyboards, bass, drums, guitars, and he is also a conductor.
one in a million.... Unreal. What a talent

How did it go?
vicente alvarado wayyy dope. I listened to a live internet radio stream via the BBC website
looks like he is cultivating himself in 2018
All technologies in one and incredible background. Here inside the music you could hear Prince and much more. I am happy about it :) Go ahead Jacob.
Tunes the bass just like that!! So awesome this guy. Strap locks also super handy as this dude just is at it like a bear to the honey :-)
Sooo much Talent.
Protect Jacob at all costs
