[@simac3880]

Batiste is one of our contemporary greats.

[@jend8759]

So is Rateliff. They both deserve much more attention. Absolutely brilliant, class acts.

[@gummyberryjoos1693]

Nathaniel is not too bad either! Saw him live with Mumford and Sons! Great show!

[@msvonnegutpunch5384]

Amen

[@kevindolin4315]

The wonderful thing about watching Jon Batiste play is the immense joy he has in the music and for the music. It's a joy so intense it literally leaps off the screen and into the hearts of the listeners, which most definitely includes me. Just hearing him is great, but watching him takes you to whole new and better place.

[@sadiqmohamed681]

I completely agree. Watching a great musician playing and having fun is the best medicine! This was a great performance and such fun to watch. Thank you Jon and Nathaniel!

[@losiento2]

Kevin Dolin feel just the same. Couldn’t have said it better.

[@BarbaraDr2023]

Yees

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Oh, wow. That piano was a _natural extension_ of Jon.

[@gentillygirl545]

It is! He's a full blown natural!!

[@LambieSamba]

Nathaniel Rateliff is one of my all time favorites, pairing him with Jon Batiste is pure gold! Two supreme talents!

[@gilmoresgloriouswood5255]

Literal goosebumps and I do not know why. Maybe it's the thought of two people sitting right next to each other. Maybe it's the hope to someday be able to do so again. Goosebumps. You go Jon.

[@MonsterSound]

Their voices are so complementary. 🤘😎👍🎵 FANVTASTIV!

[@maresae]

Jon Batiste! More of this please! ❤️

[@msvm2108]

👍🏼#Absolutey agree! The thing is, Jon #MASTERS every genre (2) Gr8 talents! 🎸🎹💞🥰👏🏼🕺💃🏽 #ThanksStephen 🤗👍🏼👍🏾

[@cindyoser9988]

A refreshing example of the healing power of music.

[@Zimmy907]

Jon Batiste is a true musical genius. He embodies musicianship. Rock on Jon!

[@thewillistons]

Every time he comes on I am reminded how much I miss hearing Jon Batiste play, or just interact with Stephen in general. I always love when he stops in. GREAT cover, we love you Jon!

[@MandyX19]

I am such a huge fan of Jon! His fingers are absolute magic!! He and Nathanial sounded amazing together!! 😍😍🤩🤩

[@sealyoness]

Yup. Wish I had his long fingers(for piano playing!) and great commitment. I suspect he's a lovely sweet man as well as fab musician.

[@MandyX19]

sealyoness I couldn’t agree more!! He just seems like he has so much love in his heart! I also wish I had the long piano fingers!! Piano lessons as a child we’re very frustrating, and I knew it wasn’t for me.. :( so I went on to play the violin, the viola and cello.. Then later found playing Rock Band with my children on x-box was amazing!!! Lol haha! I was the cool mom then! 😂 oh my!

[@denisgomes4106]

When they were finished i didnt even notice i had a smile from ear to ear. 💜

[@not_the_vampire]

Damn now we're gonna need a full collaboration album with these guys

[@RafaelPerches]

THIS NEEDS TO BE ON SPOTIFY !!!!

[@Tanagra180]

I loooove Jon, especially in this register. Where y'at, baby? ❤❤❤

[@chineedtosee6240]

FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC. LOVE YA JOHN

[@ivadeenmonsrud3685]

Stephen we need More ! So we can laugh at you then dance and grove to Jon !! 😀

[@DJRY360]

If you look up the term "gentleman & scholar" in the dictionary you should find an entire page devoted to Jon Batiste. He is the literal personification of the term.

[@karenperkins3016]

His friendliness and his wit and overall feeling Jon gives you 1000% fits the bill. He'll probably be a definition in a dictionary soon.

[@sluttymctits4496]

While Stephen makes me smile and laugh, Jon makes me smile and feel warm and safe. His energy wraps us all in a blanket which we can use to shield ourselves from the harsh realities of life.

[@mamemckee2190]

It is incredible how Jon's spirit touches mine. Whether he speaks, plays or sings. Every time. Bless you, Jon, for the gentle love you bring to the world.

[@christinezimmer6887]

Amen! Thank you, Jon and God bless you!

[@vipsterderoos2327]

just wanna say, batiste has an amazing singing voice

[@martinedelius]

This is one of my (many) favorites from the Blues Brothers movie.

[@martinedelius]

@Jane Elliot, Jr. It doesn't matter who wrote it first, Old Thing, it's still one of my favorite songs from the Blues Brothers movie.

[@Aiuralion]

I had that on loop about six times!

[@friendofships]

Goosebumps, it feels like Jon and Nathaniel are channeling the master of time and space Leon Russell

[@PompetusDad]

You're right!. I felt the mad dogs and englishmen bouncing in my head too.

[@shannonhigginsconnor]

Oh YESSSS!!! Exactly what I was thinking :: he bounced those keys like sweet, soulful, magical Leon. High praise indeed for this young blood.

[@sup393]

Like Leon used to say play it high right handed so they hear you.😎

[@scarletcomptonbellew8470]

What magic.. their voices blended.. wonderful !

[@jcblebowski]

This along with “I’m From Kenner” (with the lyrics he has the audience sing), are apart of my morning ritual right now.

[@georginaeliano206]

Genius J. B. Love his music!!!

[@torontocitizen6802]

I love watching Jon Batiste!!

[@angelaabsolutely013]

Love your sound, Jon Batiste!

[@jintzie1950jth]

I want to live my life the way Jon Batiste plays the piano.

[@shannonhigginsconnor]

You win The Internets today Jane Hardy, owing to that lovely, lovely sentiment.

[@poietes7337]

It's so wonderful to get more than a few bars from this amazing musician. The way he plays is pure magic.

[@43shoemaker]

Here’s what I’d Love to hear now: John Baptise playing “you’ll never walk alone!” So relevant!

[@johnwattdotca]

43shoemaker: What about "people who need people are the luckiest people in the world"?

[@Coffeecup.0110]

Yes!!!

[@antgarcia62]

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@erlinggaratun6726]

The Jimi Hendrix of piano - Jon Batiste

[@SavannahLeighh]

Here's the best of us for the rest of us! Beautiful and spine tingling

[@silkyrobinson5079]

Thank you Amazing Musician Gentelmen, and also for bringing the Soulful Jamming Spirit

[@RobtJMooreII]

Whenever I hear Jon Batiste, I hear authenticity.

[@biancawitt6692]

I love John,he has been so active and busy, doing good during these very trying times.Love from Germany

[@ickiemickie]

The perfect duo we never knew we needed 😍😍😍

[@loveispain..]

That's amazing! Thanks 😊

[@hapt-di1pq]

I clicked like before the song started, and I was right to do so!...Jon Baptiste was amazing (as usual!).

[@sqche]

Fantastic! 😍

[@gbail9566]

Oh hurt me! That harmony is so sweet! Tickle those keys JB!

[@Happy2BUp]

Just love, love love Jon Batiste. Thank you for sharing this great clip.

[@halleykomet5288]

Both super talented

[@Roy-G-Biv]

wow!! soul filled awesomeness.

[@nannlee6304]

Under our present circumstances, this performance was such a treat! 😊 It is sung and performed with so much hopefulness... 🍀❤️ My family and I will have to “call on the two of you” by watching and listening to this whenever the day brings us down...💕Thank you, Jon Batiste and Nathaniel Rateliffe.

[@charleshermetix3886]

Excellent. J Batiste is so musical it reaches my soul. The "blackbird" cover makes me cry almost every time..yes i dont cry for much else...but music gets me. Btw anyone feelin me who hasnt seen shows like "lovecraft country" or the amazing "godfather of harlem" check them out now for some heartwarming soul and blues.

[@glacieractivity]

This reminded me about a John Lennon quote. "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end", True that. This tiny concert reminds me that you Americans can be damned fine people when you get together and making best instead of worst of things. It is hard to remember at times because all of us in the world receive hate-mail by twitter from the Oval Office every single day.

[@grateful954]

🙏🙌💋

[@pauldecker4630]

The great thing is; thats true everywhere.

[@silkyrobinson5079]

Right on! What country are you in?

[@silkyrobinson5079]

Oh it says Canada...

[@candywarmuth2455]

Not just the WH, but all of Congress as it is now, with few exceptions are all trying to screw us.

[@blt4life112]

Today is going to be a good day. ☺️

[@msvm2108]

WOWWW...Jon seems to #MASTER every genre... Two Gr8 talents! 🤩 😍🎸🎹💞🥰👏🏼🕺💃🏽 #ThanksStephen 🤗👍🏼👍🏾

[@sugarshackseeds9053]

I JUST LOVE JOHN BATTISTE!!! Yes, I yelled that. Not only could I listen to his music all day long, but I could easily just listen to his calm, gentle, loving voice for just as long!🥰

[@cathycotton9635]

WOW! WOWWOWOWOWWOW!!!!! That was so incredibly good - I could have listened to them all night. Good duo for sure.

[@helpinggoodgrow]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Awesome.

[@jamespatrickherlihy1559]

FABULOUS!

[@lauriebolles3149]

Jon and Nathaniel are two brothers whose bodies and souls are pure music magic. At this time in my life and I have lived a good and long one I'm in desperate need to figure out what to do with it, this song was so profound for me and the time we're all living in. Stay in and stay well!

[@candywarmuth2455]

I just love Nathan's voice. This was great. John is an amazing artist. Thanks Stephen.

[@SherryEllesson]

Have to tell you that this brought back memories of having sung lead with a few fine bands in my "misspent" (not really) youth, and I sand out along with these gents to a volume that brought my puppy into the room, where he sat and tipped his head. Good job!!! and thank you.

[@TahtahmesDiary]

GREAT impromptu collaboration. Love when good musicians get together and just do their thing!

[@brandonrobinson5577]

Watching in 2023 just as good as when it was done. Miss seeing Jon on the show ( and miss the show right now)

[@TrishTruitt]

Great cover! I've always love this song. They did it justice.

[@RamonaRayTodosSantosBCS]

Hold an ...I’m comingg, Holdoon immm comein woo woo! made my day

[@williamcamp4771]

Oldies feed my soul. Sam and Dave, WOO! Excellent cover, guys. Kill it, JB. Wow. Superb.

[@cynthiakelly4236]

Loving it, my favorite song. My dad played this song in our home when we were kids.

[@lesleyhall4186]

Nice one, love a bit of Sam & Dave. #SuitsMeBaby

[@mapthemaze4624]

Always love seeing more Jon. Great videos

[@ignatiusgodinho]

Jon Batiste is brilliant. A great musician and such a nice guy.

[@GrotesqueGardener]

Two cool and great musicians, messing around, and playing a classic. This is awesome.

[@yashiAR]

Incredible

[@Texas_Flood_L8Gr8SRV]

I just can’t seem to get enough of this extravagant duo 🔥

[@sharonc7630]

[@charlesbennett926]

Two of the best roots musicians of my generation!

[@chinookvalley]

RIP Steve honey, how I miss you. Been years and things like this song... I'll never get you outta my mind. All I gotta say is, "Hold on, I'm coming". I know heaven is lots of cats and dogs, fishing, good music, and great ganja. Hang on honey, time is bringing us closer together. I know you're busy, but keep an eye out for me.

[@ErikaEmody]

These two are a natural pairing. Wow. More please!

[@kathyd2595]

Absolutely love Jon Baptiste! More please.🙏🏽 I truly appreciate his bright light that radiates from his soul when he performs.☮❤

[@nml4546]

Amazing what two talented people and one piano can do

[@perlahuber4099]

[@gentillygirl545]

Beautiful Soul from my birth City!!

Dynamic duo 😍🤩🥰😍🤩

[@ericfricke4512]

Jon Batiste is a gem.

[@CraigandJane1]

Wow. Just, wow. Thank you.

[@Mirage63]

That was a magnificent collaboration. Music always seems to have been a divider. RAP, country, Soul, Pop, ... - and here are two artists from very different genres showing us that the opposite ist true. Music becomes better when it unites. Thank You guys.

[@TangiersIntrigue]

It's a true challenge to watch Jon Batiste play and try to avoid smiling while watching him enjoy what he does. Not only he is incredibly talented and great at what he does, he also loves doing it. And it shows.

[@0HARE]

Jon Batiste is a National Treasure!

[@justincarlson3134]

You are both amazing!! Loved every second of your performance!!
