Brilliancy - Chris Thile and Sam Bush | Live from Here

[@reubenj.cogburn8546]

My life is better for having spent 5:23 here. A smile, and a reminder that humanity still has a chance.

[@kathleenemerson5248]

Chris Thile just always makes me smile.

[@robertmizek3315]

It’s amazing to see the difference in technique between these two amazing artists. Regarding movement of the pick hand and fingerprint, Chris Thile is a “minimalist”:and Sam Bush can only be described as a “maximist” yet both are tight and get full projection from their efforts. A pleasure to watch and listen to.

[@robertmizek3315]

@@BrainFPatterson I was not aware of that. Thank for the comment!

[@gbrmusic]

I have no idea how Sam does what he does. But it is just perfect!!

[@wandamundy1759]

I love this - Sam Bush is the master - one of the fathers of Newgrass. And I'm sure Chris Thile looked up to him as he was coming up in the tradition. What I like to see - the Elders handing it on down to the next generation . . . a legacy of continuance . . .

[@mf5202]

One can watch this over and over and over. The sheer joy from both. Wonderful!!

[@jamesdaniels2094]

Sam Bush is a national treasure.

[@Mandoholic]

It took me 5 years to get this one up to speed and clean. Does my heart good to hear Sammy say it was hard too.

[@mf5202]

It's a toughy for sure, particularly to get it clean. Good for you!!!

[@rdalin]

How can you not love this?

[@scottrowe533]

How, indeed? If you like live, acoustic music played with heart, you have to love this performance. Two of the greatest ever to strap on a mandolin.

[@kwittnebel]

Beautiful song.

[@jacicrimmccrary]

This music always makes me happy, no matter what else is going on in the world!

Jolly amazing😊

[@fiddlinturkey]

This tune as played comes from Howdy Forrester. The Eck Robertson version called "Brilliancy Medley" does not contain this tune.

[@paulwooton4390]

Sounded awful like Howdy to me, too.

[@noelledford]

NO WAY these two are the BEST!!!!!

[@austenrobinson2747]

Um find another person on the planet that can play as well as Thile. Go ahead well wait after you do a deep dive of his work. The guy is a prodigy and was so good at 13 professional musicians were scared to play with him because they feared they would get destroyed and they would. As for Sam Bush he’s not on my mt Rushmore of mandolins but it’s not a contest. The dude is bad as they come in the bluegrass world. Both are unbelievable and Thile is from another planet.

[@Fsuholley]

That was so metal

[@ricktemmen6272]

Nice picken and nice St Louis Cardinals jersey Sam ... Great video ... Thanks ...

[@ztahs]

Two of the very best at work. Allthey need is David Grisman and Andy Statman and they'd have a helluva quartet.

[@josephreynolds2401]

Saw Dawg, Sam, and Jesse Mcreynolds with Thile tacked on the end of the set one time. Bonkers!. Rockygrass 2008, I think.

Slow playback is awesome bc if I try to play along at normal speed I end up playing some other fiddle tune every time.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Oh yeah telluride is a majestic. Cradle of a town that is surrounded by peaks. But u can hike right up. A lot of different places its magical. In winter even though its a bit chill Colorado isn't humid. So. Its. A refreshing chill Me and my band at the time (bizung family ) played at the Sheraton. Up yonder way so. Pleasant a town. There are no chain restaurants or commercial banners. All the places to eat are. Good though.

[@nsiepmann]

Telluride Bluegrass Festival - have a bit of a search, because there are some great full sets from there on KZbin, in particular the house band, which is basically a Who's Who of bluegrass luminaries!

[@christopherorman5769]

Find a way to make it to this festival at least once in your life. Truly an amazing experience.

[@melodicdiapason]

I was at this set, back for the first time after 15 years.. Telluride is definitely necessary pilgrimage for anyone who loves bluegrass, nature, hiking, festivals, beer, dancing, or skiing. Or anyone with a soul. The views and the community are unbelievably beautiful.

[@danielvandersall6756]

I hate to ask this... But where was this and what was the festival?

Trafalgar Hornpipe derivative. See Cole's book.

[@peterhackman4991]

I bought the collection 1000 Fiddle Tunes at a festival 51 years ago and found out that Brilliance combines parts of Trafalgar and Passaic. It has nothing to do with Brilliancu Medley, except the key is the same.

Both brilliant obviously, but Sam's playing is waaay more groovy. Listen to that swing!

[@whatitoya1015]

Different players, I love how Chris seamlessly weaves his harmonies in with dynamics and accents. What a great duo

[@randalbladel2817]

So good my cat is moaning in pleasure.

[@rayray8687]

I wouldn’t exactly call this bluegrass or even new grass...it’s virtually an Irish lilt or a Newfoundland jig. But fun anyway!

[@mrswimmyboy]

Its a Texas style fiddle tune. Benny Thomasson was the greatest player in that style IMO

[@rayray8687]

mrswimmyboy: This style came across the water from Scotland 150 - 200 years ago and is known as a “reel”. It landed solidly in Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island and is still a staple folk music genre in all three areas. It apparently also somehow found its way toTexas. But it is not bluegrass or new grass or anything like it. It’s a Scottish reel dating back hundreds of years. And yes, I agree, Mr Thomasson was very smooth at this style - very fun to listen to!

[@mrswimmyboy]

@@rayray8687- I'd call Brilliancy a hornpipe. It feels Irish rather than Scottish.

[@rayray8687]

mrswimmyboy: I can’t disagree since I did mention Irish in my original comment, but the tempo seems a bit quick to qualify as the much slower traditional hornpipe. Fact is drunken Irish sailors couldn’t dance that fast, lol. Maybe Texans can, I’m not sure.

[@peterhackman4991]

It can be done in several ways. I recorded ths tune with a 4 piece Bluegrass band in 1969. Howdy Forrester (from whose recording I learned the tune) recorded it with Jimmy Riddle on piano around 1960.
