Bobby McFerrin - Live in Montreal (FULL)

Bobby McFerrin's Live performance in Montreal from 2005

[@thiesenf]

At the audition: So what instrument do you play? Bobby: People.

[@eart6616]

not gonna lie i love how he shuts the audience up when they try to applaud. he's just like "nope. this ain't about cheering. *listen* and learn with me."

[@ES_Glenn]

I literally just caught that same vibe and saw this comment. 100!

[@VincentCordel]

I was at this concert and I still remember it to this day. Montreal jazz festival is very strict for encores (to allow people to go to other concerts in the city). But the audience didn’t want to leave at the end of his performance. We got 3 encores which was unprecedented to my knowledge. I left the concert in tears, totally emotional of what just happened. One of these concerts you’ll remember for life

[@beckybrynjolfsson]

"ALLOW" you say? Allow by whom? Allow is a bad word.

[@LuckiestManAlive]

​@@beckybrynjolfsson Obviously this is an old comment, but I think it's important to point out the fact that you're a special kind of asshole. You're the type of asshole that takes their own interpretation of words and projects that on to others to make them look guilty. Instead of saying something stupid like "Allow is a bad word", how about you actually take a moment to learn the definition of the word? You obviously aren't aware that it has multiple uses. And the context in which Vincent used it means "to give the necessary time or opportunity for". He used the word perfectly, and not in a bad way. Don't accuse someone of doing something the wrong way because you're too stupid to see that they did it the right way.

[@arthurs.cuffeeiii2800]

To do that whole performance for almost 2 hours is incredible.

[@djdavisbeatz]

Apparently he did 3 Encore's so yeah 2+ hours is insane

[@gunrhgta]

he uses his voice exactly like a musical instruments, amazing.

[@SunflowerDogs]

That's what singing is. Congrats on the revelation.

[@emanggitulah4319]

True

[@sereanaduwai8313]

That is exactly what you see that in South Indian music in their instruments and the way the singers voice is mimicking the instruments on stage.

[@mrflappie6553]

@@SunflowerDogs What Bobby McF does is beyond, and I mean FAR beyond singing.

[@ccclxxxiv9633]

I don't need lo-fi anymore. Bobby's concerts is only required thing to bring peace in soul

[@peternemeth1777]

Not just is Bobby one of the most gifted musicians of this world but also one of the greatest comedians without even telling one joke. He's a kind of a music clown and at the same time a spiritual healer. I would say Bobby is a kind of a shaman whose greatest talent is to bring joy and love to the world especially to humans.

[@edichong1]

Bobby comes out absolutely confident that he is going to entertain himself and his invited guests for a session of improvisation, syncopation, lots of lip smacking and sounds only humans can make; have a good time he does, but he brings his entire audience with him on a magical musical experience they will not forget, ever. hat a guy!

[@sobari2445]

damn, you are so right

[@sarahneu8349]

The Ave Maria is a miracle... So much trust, and that audience lived right up to it. tears.

[@sf0tacticalguy]

Anyone interested in attending a Master class performance of how to truly use your voice as a musical instrument? Pay close attention to this man. Unbelievable!!

[@pken47]

I could listen to this forever.

[@boolallysally]

I do : )

[@The_One_Cosmos]

I love how he is able to take absolute gibberish and random sounds and make cool music out of it all.

[@leviticalorder]

Cosmos hi there, it's not gibberish it's freedom. You have to try to listen with your soul not your head. Your head can't interpret the sounds but your inner core. Just try to have it again without any pretense.

[@The_One_Cosmos]

Anthony Jones I can grasp what you mean, and I realize that gibberish wasn't the best option for a partial discription.

I really enjoy how much Bobby appreciates the people that are preforming with him. He looks sincerely interested and impressed by each and every one of them.

Love Bobby McFerrin. He is a legend and a genius. I've been lucky enough to sing and play in the circle(song). Thank you for posting this. Someone who brings this much joy into the world is a treasure. #Goodexists

[@joshuagharis9017]

Jealous, it's on my bucket list, but gotta get done while this gift of a human is still performing, which, will probably be until he is gone . He loves it. He'll do it until he can't and does it with our lost loved ones

[@bernios3446]

Wow - what a revelation!!! Just the part with Richard Bona is priceless: having fun together, joking around while delivering a worldclass performance. That's what you call "cool".

[@mrflappie6553]

You can actually see how much they enjoy playing off of eachother.

February 8, 2020. KZbin algorhythm: suggests Bobby McFerrin - Live In Montreal (FULL) Me: Ah man this is almost 2 hours long. I'll at least check it out for a bit Also Me: WATCHES THE WHOLE DAMN 1 HOUR, 44 MINUTES and 52 SECONDS DUE TO THE EPICNESS OF WHAT 1 HUMAN VESSEL CAN BRING TO THE STAGE....along with a few intermittent friends who are extremely talented as well.. Now THAT'S confident talent right there!

Come back, Bobby McF needs you to her this again.

[@ieagcaoili111]

This guy blows my mind in every possible way. It's not only his mastery of hitting the notes, but his knowledge and use of a breathtaking array of musical styles and traditions. Such a genius!

[@Tpaulissendougan]

There are few musicians that can bring tears to your eyes. This is awesome reaching the highest levels of creativity. This is true art. Peace!!

[@station_is_42]

F'ing Phenomenal!!! Watching this I keep getting the urge to clap alone at home ;) And I'm really grateful that KZbin exists and can bring this joy to everyone.

Bro, I'm sitting here and vocalizing/improvizing along. Clap all you want. Bobby McF is plucking the strings of the universe which makes you pluck them too.

[@Maria-nv6eh]

Bobby.... Escucharte es ir a un lugar que no es de éste mundo. Supremo. Tu humor. Tu simpleza. Siendo tan pero tan cráneo. Que don! Gracias por tanto genio!

I never get tired of coming back to watch this performance. Unbelievable improv.

[@pilzfreak9662]

I'm really really really impressed. That jam with the dude of the audience is just gold. The whole performance is gold.

[@boolallysally]

If there is such a thing as having one favourite musical artist, I'd say Bobby McFerrin is that soul, for me.

[@katherinekier]

I concur 🙏🏽

[@sakushey]

He truly is. There are a few like him though. I recommend Jacob Collier (when it comes to more contemporary stuff) if u haven´t heard of him yet. Maybe -> "Moon River"

[@miniatureben3558]

So far only three people in the music industry who could make a vast amount of the audience to follow their command and those are: -Bobby McFerrin -Jacob Collier -Freddie Mercury

[@broaddusmarines]

This had to have been pure heaven to have been in the audience for this masterpiece of a concert. I envy each and everyone that experienced this live. I’m watching this on television and am in total awe of this brilliance.

[@ivanauletu]

He is definitely on another level ... on his own asteroid - first to the left from the little prince.

I had the fortune of seeing Bobby perform at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in Idaho when I was a teenager, must have been 2009 or 2010. To this day, I occasionally daydream about that performance. It was the most amazing, mesmerizing thing I've ever seen.
