Please Afie. Let me buy these live to tapes - have money, will give! Loved seeing you at the Bluebird in Denver who knows long when back. I'd love to see you in State College, PA. I'd say I would bring all the kids out to see you, but I'll I've been doing since we got here is work from home and ride bikes. So I'd at least bring my wifey along. You're right up there with Radiohead in my book.

[@barrettwilson8056]

Wow! Please put this on Spotify.

[@narkysharky2135]

Going through all of these LTTs ahead of Bootcut and boy and I'm getting Bootcut vibes from this one. Love the slightly quicker tempo in a lot of these renditions compared to the originals. Small changes change the whole feel of the songs

[@tmactmac93]

The solos in opening act were outstanding

[@luisz6744]

Sunshine blues....so damn beautiful.

[@cameronhenderson7971]

One of the characteristics of a good song is its adaptability to universal expression and this series has prove that these songs have that kind of input into multiple genres seamlessly! One of the more enjoyable musical adventures of this year.

[@AndyVanBass]

These versions of Waves & Bitter Memories were haunting & amazing. I didn’t even realize there was no drummer till several songs in. Beautiful.

[@samanthapaige648]

There’s the hat. The mustache. The man, Afie. One of my faves. Loving the BlueGrass! #openingact.

[@zachmiles9098]

My favorite episode so far though they've all been great! "In control" is beautiful thanks for introducing us to new bands and songs. This gels nicely

[@collinslindsey]

These have all been great, but this one was surprisingly one of my favourites; I thought I'd miss the drums but the mando player has the 2 and 4 chomps on lockdown. Great solos on the dobro and mando as well, very musical set.

[@adrianorozco9327]

Bitter memories always hits

[@AndyVanBass]

It’s just sooooo personal & relatable.

[@teddymorrissey8501]

Yes. Dreams do in fact come true

[@geekdesprairies]

This series deserves so many more views! Thank you for revisiting all these songs, and sharing them with us.

[@jennywiltshire7354]

Bahamas and bluegrass, that works! Masterful musicality, thank you for doing these sessions. When are u coming to Australia?

[@dancher7640]

What an absolutely inspired series Alfie! Thanks for all the effort must go into these. Brilliant!

[@Labonts]

Awesome

[@jakethaxton2387]

The fact that only 13,000 plus people have viewed this is wild.

[@michelesmith1170]

Magic 🪄

[@hayleyb467]

Beautiful! Love from Texas xo

[@StuWright]

yep, nice

[@dougclark966]

Wow!! These live to tape episodes are so good!

[@DylanDiMartino]

Great takes you all!

[@patzimmusic]

This is incredible

What a great space. Reminds me of the Marcus King band performance.

[@philedgar9745]

Love it! Great players

[@cliffisaacs9560]

Every damn time Afie! Love watching these Live to Tape episodes really solid !!

[@jmcleod55]

Lovely. Would love a video showing how they record these. Does the band record first or are they actually playing together in real-time from two different countries? Damn impressive if so.

[@waterolife]

Hey Aifi, why arent the Live sessions on CD? IMO they're capture your essence much better than the stuff I heard on spotify - except Earthtones. These live sessions are amazing?

[@kevcorbett692]

Nice. I think I first saw them at Telluride BGF, which leans super progressive. I bought one of those upright basses you see here, too, because it was like one band after another played them. I think Sam Bush’s bass player just brings one to share. Great sesh.

[@sarah-janeallsopp3155]

For a hot second there I thought I read vocal sandwiches. Already excited for this episode but that put it on a whole new level. Just as quickly realizing that's not the case .. I still find it intriguing that sandwiches are mentioned. They must be some beaut sammies. 👌🏻👍🏻✌🏻💜🎵🎶

[@kathygerulaitis]

'Not Out of Control' song.....sounds like Pure Prairie League/Marshall Tucker Band. The Mandolin player's voice has got that Marshall Tucker Band sound.

[@TalkinAboutTheDude]

mmm sangwich

[@lu1s4ngel]

Is that a Floyd Rose on a resonator?!

[@andreasvo2992]

Why on earth do the musicians need all those guitar effects on the floor?

[@S1KDAYstrategies]

You’d be surprised what it takes to sound polished and professional. The effects can be the difference between world class and amateur hour.

[@nickreeder99]

Greensky jumps between acoustic bluegrass and almost full on rock music, they need to be able to have dynamic output options.

[@andreasvo2992]

@@nickreeder99 Full rock music with mandolines? Juicy…
