Ben Howard : Old Pine + Black Flies - HibOO d'Live

[@RILEYLEIFSON_UTAH]

12 Years later and here we are. We've come full circle in our journey. I wanna start from the beginning again. Ben encapsulates more than just a chapter in our lives...but an era. The music is timeless. But the times, sadly wouldn't last. Magical & fleeting. But the memories remain. It's Christmas day, 12-25-2023... And what I wouldn't give to go back to 10-11-2011 when this was made....And play it all over again.... Who's comin' with me??

[@MBanon1997]

I’m with you brother

[@lunitaredonda]

I truly feel the same but i got here on an april day, 2024, and i heard this songs non stop before my daughter was born on 11-14-2011. Greetings from Chile!

[@jordanrock3494]

*We Must Look Forward Brother*

[@juliahanke4825]

Let’s go

[@JacksonBaileyMusic]

It blows my mind how people are just passing such a great musician by. Ben Howard is easily one of the best musicians I have ever heard. I would die just to be near something like this.

[@pam02211]

Me too!!!

[@wesleybullock814]

I agree

[@jacobwilkinson6112]

It’s just as he would rather have it❤

[@andrewmccarthy9898]

If only he was still at this style :(

[@WorriedBirds]

If only these people knew what they were walking by… if only I was one of those people just to catch a glimpse of this

[@musicofthe2ndfinest440]

Ben Howard: The Poet of my generation. I hope kids will learn about him at school in a few centuries.

[@chriswilliams4623]

He paints a hell of a picture

[@iGeebzy]

i prefer listening to him live than recorded. if he does a live acoustic album i'll buy a million copies.

[@DomTheHammerMan]

This man's music smacks me in my soul.

[@bellameltzer4950]

One of the best reactions a musician can get haha

[@johannesstanzel4226]

Thought the same how to hell can you not stop hearing this . But maybe its like life ; u keep running while the beauty is happing right next to you

[@user23724]

His singing and playing here is just SO RAW and emotional. WOW.

[@1RKruemel]

Randomly thought of this video and had to come back 7 years after first watching it. Still so good!

[@jackmagee5187]

Me just now brother

[@travisniles6800]

Same

[@liamlyon6231]

anybody else thinking how can people just pass when such beautiful music is being played?

[@ste2949]

There's nobody behind him, but they'll be loads in front of him loving it

[@hotchdog]

there's just something that's so good about this version of old pine, just Ben on his own sounds brilliant.

[@grafikinvasion8403]

brought a little tear to my eye listening and watching this - this was so earlier on, amazing the amount of beautiful songs he has written since -he's a truly inspiring soul - can;t wait to finally catch him live in brixton next year

[@David_Farnsworth]

What a great voice and personality helped me through my darkest moments

[@davegutierrez3322]

If I've ever fallen in love, it is Ben's music that has me smitten.

[@FunknMunky77]

Ben you are absolutely amazing these have been 2 of my all time favorite songs for years. They never get old for me. I sincerely thank you for sharing your gift!! I can't believe not a single applause...im screaming from across the pond F**king BRILLIANT brother!!! Wooooooo

[@StompyGames]

sounds like there's a full band in his hands! so talented with a guitar and his voice is just unbelievable!

[@jordanrock3494]

Ben's songs choke me while I attempt to sing along, dude is singing into my soul.

[@JackDunneOfficial]

You can really see how much he just enjoys playing. Love him!

[@caedmonleister5244]

Ben Howard, you will probably never see this, but you inspire me. You make me want to express myself through music, in a way that I never could. You are freaking awesome, keep it up

[@NOOSESCVLT]

This guy has some real fucking talent, he's too good to exist. The way he writes, sings, plays. Wow, what an inspiration for this generation.

[@user-jw2bw4uy5e]

This guys music makes me go over so many past experiences and feelings. Just in a song . Just him and his guitar. Unbelievable talent . Taps into my soul , if I have one left lol. Enjoy . Life had taken me to a low point when I tuned into him and he made sense . It's a lot to ask of a musician. Hope you guys are good .

[@juliam2418]

would give anything to meet ben. he's the greatest musician i'll ever know, has inspired me everyday for the 3 years i've listened to him

[@todddavis240]

Ben is my most favorite artist of all time....something about him...when an artist passes over to magician....everything is magic to me! Thank you for this and any further SOUL MAN uploads......Peace&Love

[@MikePidgeon21]

how can you not like this there must be something wrong with the person who dislikes this! ben is 100% pure talent!!

[@navidb]

i would sheet my pants if i saw him just standing there playing

[@MrCliffsboy]

pure talent ...this guy is just sick

[@ShaneCFC11]

Absolutely love this, I have seen James Morrison and recently Ed Sheeran both live. Ben Howard is now next on my list the guy is incredible! What a voice and a talent!!!

[@Emericanization]

Absolutely phenomenal. I want to meet this guy. I could listen to him all day.

[@trulyepic1]

wonderful, love the improv, spirit filled stuff you put out Ben, keep having fun, play what you love and the rest of us will just keep enjoying the art

[@juggadaaku4219]

That scarf on the guitar.. 🤌 *chef’s kiss*

[@AmonkstusWithJaromirKynl]

Every time is just incredible! What a beautiful soul! Gracious :)

[@AdamdotCarey]

this song doesnt get old!

[@eugenierigaux5518]

My favorite artist. Love him and his music. Thanks for the vid.

[@GregCoonrod]

Discovered "Old Pine" today and then found this video. Exceptional cinematography. Fits the pace and emotion of the songs. Great work!

[@shazzl123]

hate it how people just walk past. its not the fact they dont know he is famous, but if i heard someone that wasn't famous belting these kind of tunes i would show some appreciation.

[@gsantana2004]

Ive been randomly coming back to this video for the past 3-4 years...

[@VIIKZEE]

You should come back!

[@joeybegnomebino-rama1831]

your microphone have a really good sound and and the mix is so pure! Really good video too...the climax's so strange, with the wind, the people walkin'... Congratulations to Ben and Ya!!! Bravo le hiboo paris!

[@dakotaw.8706]

The beauty in this is unreal.

[@SolomonKincheloe]

the cinematics are spectacular

[@kathleen4802]

that orbit shot followed by the close up was a SERIOUS work of art WOW great shot

[@lehiboo]

thanks :) but the best thing to do is watching V2 ! :) (you have just to search "ben howard" in my channel)

[@1RKruemel]

I really liked the style of filming! I think it was more than a simple documentation as it went on its own adventures, showing more than one simple perspective, adding to the experience for me as a watcher. I thought it was complementing the performance really nicely by showing a bit of emotion in itself. Also, beautiful location!

[@jokejosh31]

Despite whether I knew him or not I would still stop to listen to this guy.

[@Lord-cg3vo]

Sad

[@traceylayton8469]

Oh

[@123mikellevi]

Ben Howards voice could melt a dragon.

[@khanNA413]

In that case - best to keep him away from Cersei Lannister !!

[@tealeaves92]

pretty sure it does...

[@ephramk]

Love this video of him! What a brilliant musician and so charismatic!

[@xxIzzy38xx]

Such an amazing voice that I could listen to for hours :). Wonderful.

[@hannahlorraine93]

He is one hell of a beautiful musician, ahhhhh!

[@illduitmyself]

I wish Mr. Howard would come back. he has checked out and his music changed. his spirit has embraced darkness and coldness. even sadder...im becoming the same

[@jonatanekeberg8715]

Very nice filmed! The artistic of his music fits very good with the artistic side of how this is filmed. Makes everything very interesting.

[@kouklouvahata]

no no it's not the wind that makes the scarf move (1:30). it's definitely the tune that makes it "dance".

[@karenb9656]

I love his music and he's also so very handsome!

[@elainem654]

Oh my god! He's so happy! ahhh i love him

[@dmnieforth]

i wish you knew how much I love this song.

[@BremTV]

What a shame, that there're almost no people who're watching at this brill perfomance!

[@DBird1115]

I watched him play a couple of months ago and hes doesnt seem as happy playing like he does here and i think you can tell in his music

[@Danimal1577]

I love how greedy youtube shoves an ad in ninety seconds into this video lol 😂😭

[@AlexMusique1]

in love with his music - damn that's perfect

[@RonaldReaganRocks1]

Ben is truly awesome.

[@MagiHristova]

He is absolutely perfect in every way possible!

[@kantomos2035]

He is amazing !

[@ErinnNL]

Ben Howard is amazing!

[@lucigaiah]

Ok I'm crying now

[@imogenflounders3872]

i love this music it almost has an ed sheeran vibe love u x

[@rodneykupcs2305]

This is back when we were the ocean and he was just a stone😏

[@2K10stang]

Funny, people comment about passersby, but they probably could not hear the music, it seems to have been miced fir the vid but not amplified? Just sayin'

[@chloeprice7765]

Kudos to the man recording also.

[@russellbell]

5:04 is the BEST bit. Pure joy on his face! XD

[@Nasuu_77]

I don't know what would i do if i could meet him like that. He's my authority, and i hope someday i will be like him and we'll drink cola in little restaurant like this.

[@kylemenzy4369]

Perfectly said

[@pam02211]

This is a true gem

[@gladisfreida]

My two favourites!

[@mattsouza7184]

Very beautiful...

[@ali246uk]

i like the way that old guy at the start didnt give a shit, "all walk past ben, im the boss!" ¬__¬ awsome vid MASSIVE fan of the howardmister :D:D

[@vinnie031]

Did you only use the one mic taped to the guitar, or did you use one for his voice and one for the guitar? Amazing sound.

[@RaphaelNether]

No man is an island, oh this i know.. But can you see?? Maybe you were the ocean, and i was just a stone

[@tloumaster3449]

all these people just walking past greatness whitout even knowing it....

[@weesaz171]

He is amazing live!!

[@timjrees]

This is a great video (with a great artist, of course). I really like the camerawork, and I would be interested to know how you did the sound. Given you move away from the source a lot, this cannot simply be a directional mic. I could see Ben had his guitar mic'd up, but could not see a mic for his voice.

[@fredymendez855]

Not gona lie tho the old ben was so much happy lol he doesnt like the fame but said fame does allow him to do what he wants for a living. Idk i love Ben Howard hes one of my favorites but todays Ben gives me doouche vibes. Considering how mad he was during his Noonday tour in North America and Europe. Many people didt apprecaite the new tracks and wanted the old. Judging by the new album which is just like Noonday, it seems Ben will problably not return to his folk roots. Iam ok with it but like i said not everyone feels the same and in my concert in NYC he literlally said his goodbye and let his band close out the song. TBH there was alote of chatter during the tunes and there were articles saying he seemed pissed throughout the tour and that he didt want to play his old tracks because he said they were boring. I get that you want to play new tracks since its callled Noonday tour but he just played two of his old hits all night. and strickly all new which many didt know the words too. People go for the oldies. Its like the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the Getaway tour as they played some new album hits in 2015 but of course pplayed thier hits because thats why people attend.

[@Ruthyfruty]

Real artists improvise :)

[@lehiboo]

thanks for sharing !

[@AMinorSetBack09]

bahahahahahahaahaha

[@gladman9634]

Real artists realize that everything is already perfect and the sense of improving is only yourself fooling itself

[@borfried]

@@gladman9634 what? Improvise not improve. What are you smoking?

[@lucasmontenegro8938]

I love this guy

[@nderohan]

haha no a scarf does not make a difference to the sound, he just needed a strap for his guitar, love this tune!

[@joshuagarcia534]

thank your the amazing video and thank you Ben for the amazing music : )

[@christianwalters4813]

The face he made at the last part of old pine when he was jamming out made me think of the kid in August Rush C:

[@Dumpus7]

It's so weird because he just reminds me of him in general. I think it's how into his music he gets

[@daniribeiro4435]

i am in love with him

[@Gtvmafra]

love you ben !

[@lucascopin]

Incredible taletnt. How did you capture the sound so well? Specially the guitar, sounds like a studio recording!

[@jacobwilkinson6112]

If you look closely you see a mic taped right onto his guitar’s soundhole:) he’s doing a very good job muting so it isn’t picking up tons of ringing. I’m not sure what mic it is though if that’s what you’re wondering

[@Wewontbow]

Keeping my mind level on Lockdown ✌💙

[@Love4Mcfly]

lol when that old guy just walks through the shot, hahaha! brilliant

[@taymbassal2196]

I love

[@dsedswe]

Ben Buddy you smoke, we could have been chilling years ago :P

[@Fuelove1]

i think the camera shaking was a nice, quick-thinking move on your part, especially when he gets into a solo at 4:53. you've got a new subscriber!

[@amyasseektruth8246]

that guitar so out of tune... but tuned to his ear, which is PERFECT

[@stayhopeful7697]

Not out of tune just an alternate tuning...CGCGGC...Yeah, never would do that myself, but whatever haha...He does these weird things with half capos too

[@leicesterboy123]

what did you record the audio on dude? - sound good - really nice atmosphere

[@selshaffei]

LOVE the cameraaaa

[@khristyco]

stunning

[@aliespoke]

I love you, HibOO ^^

[@jonal20]

It's a shame; where's the audiance?

[@TimScottWebb72]

Awesomeness!!

[@AlexVossMusic]

What mic's where use? I'm a singer songwriter trying to do a live video so it'd be a huge help aha!

[@rndm_rob]

i like the captures ;) good job

[@EpithelialTactic]

Um dia vou ser como ele

[@beauchivul]

I want more of his voice

[@federerfan999]

I love his facial expressions at 5:15
