"Cory Wong" // Live in London

[@mdhazeldine]

To anyone who doesn't know, Cory's normal bassist had a family emergency and couldn't make it to Europe at the last minute. Cory found Vincen via an IG DM exchange a couple of years ago when Vincen said "if you ever need a bassist in Europe, give me a call". Cory did, and he learnt the entire set in 48hrs. Unbelievable story. He was so good you'd never know!

[@lowcomdenom]

Thanks for sharing the info. He did an amazing job!

[@GarrettChristopher]

That is bizarre! Thanks for sharing.

[@IvanBassist]

Learned the entire set in two days while being at the Guitar Summit and doing workshops and traveling between Germany and Spain 🤯

[@prodbyhajime]

This brings a whole new light to the term “you played yourself”

[@MrGreenAKAguci00]

I would say that he does and on regular basis, but this bass is new.

[@cisemokram]

I still maintain that Petar is the best drummer ive ever heard. What a groovebeast

[@apieceofgarbage7301]

Gotta pay respects to Vincen Gracia. Such a phenomenal bassist and it's incredible that he learnt the whole set in like two days. Stupidly tight playing.

[@MC-qe5qb]

Garcia is unbelievable.

[@K-R-O-L]

🔥

[@nuuukethewhales]

The break between Cory, KG on the clav and Vincen is already so dope, but then the band kicks and I can't help but burst into a huge smile. The outro is so freakin' sexy.

[@ConSMills]

Hope live in London gets a full YT release

[@alancx523]

I was lucky enough to be at this gig, it was a total banger!!! So pleased Cory chose this one to release. Ordered the vinyl, but I hope it gets a full video release. Also, love the other base players, but it was a total treat to get the amazing Vincen Garcia too.

[@jefffang5691]

I remember at the show wondering who this bass guy was. Then first song he just knocked it straight out of the park it was face melting.

[@axh50268]

Excellent!!!, Vincent is a master also!!!!

[@gertsorensen]

Garcia a new dimension to the band.....outstanding!

[@AllHailKingGila]

So glad that we got a vinyl release with Vincen!!!

[@tomtankengine0]

There are few songs funky enough to be named after the man himself… this is one of them.

[@Jaa_kko]

there are few men funky enough to be named after the song

[@helenahanley]

​@@Jaa_kko nothing wong with that.

[@ReadOasis]

This may be the funkiest stank face inducing music I've ever heard. Lots of insane ear candy. MIND BLOWN!

[@oldmanpence4803]

And ya boi up here, on tour with a broken foot. Much respect, you all are badasses! 👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥

[@bkmeahan]

His mother must have had wild cherry on repeat for the entire 9 months she carried him.

[@risngrind]

It´s insane how tight they are.... I love it.

[@akhirpekan123]

Thanks to performer mother, for naming her son like this song..

[@JOHANN6574]

I've been waiting for Vincen content for about a year!!!

[@devontebroncas4967]

VINCEN GARCIA??!?!? holyyyyyy

[@mumblbeebee6546]

Such a pleasure, such uplifting joy, thank you Cory and everyone in the band!

[@michaelcallaghan6147]

Unbelievable night, so cool to see that a live album resulted from this one! I've been to his shows in London the last two years straight, and both were phenomenal! #dathornsection

[@parvezsiddiqui3047]

I was so happy that I was there, I was buzzing for days!! Vinyl ordered!

[@trombandy]

It is amazing how much this bunch of musicians offers joy and musicianship!! 🙌 But - then again - what would this music sound like without the ingeniousness of one Michael Nelsons outstanding horn arrangements... 🔥🔥🔥

[@x.g1062]

Best guitar riff.

[@intersufer]

6/2 SJF 서울재즈페스티벌에 코리 웡 보러 갑니다! Team Sports 와 St. Paul 도 꼭 듣고싶어요😃

[@kushking420]

Seen them twice already in Montreal, can't wait to see them again in a month from now. They're all amazing musicians but also very cool people to talk to after shows. Petar Janjic even gave me a used pair of drum sticks from the show after chatting up

[@daykwak2654]

Thank you for coming in Seoul The last concert in Seoul was fabulous 😎

[@JCjrise78592]

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@jacobusbester1262]

Please come to South Africa!!!!!!!

[@MaPa60]

That was tiGht!

[@bluecollarbytes7267]

so great, and everyone shines here. Does Cory 'direct' the band through his 'dancing' while playing? It's sort of hypnotic, in a nice way.

[@tonyleeglenn]

Nobody brings the funk like this bunch. Primo!!!

[@edsaadi]

Still the tightest band in any land!

[@MitrusMusic]

Cory Wong is very inspiring. Thank you! ❤

[@IAmWorseThanYou]

Watched it live and thought i heard the extra strum at 1:56. Finally confirmed!

[@dariopio2812]

[@trunke1085]

灵魂在于BASS

[@danielibarra0796]

Hey man, what's wrong with your right foot? By the way, I love the bass man performance.

[@boomerville]

Vincen Garcia, aka "The Spanish Blowtorch"

[@davidsummerville351]

Beginning to like the way that 👢 boot looks. Write a song called 'Funky Bootin'. 😎🤓

[@TheTreedodger]

What happened to your leg?

[@CoryWongMusic]

i fell

[@владиславлевин-б7ъ]

Чума...в лучшем смысле!

[@electricmonk9808]

Those Brits are strange... how can they just stand and watch when the band puts such a performance on stage?

[@gbulmer]

Brits listen and watch _during_ each song. Hence, everyone in the audience can hear and fully appreciate performers. It's called *_RESPECT._* Brits aren't so self-centred, or unaware, to assume their noise is more important than the music and the artists. Brits really dislike Americans audiences for drowning out performances, making it hard to hear and enjoy for everyone. That is *_disrespecting_* the performers their performances, and everyone else in the audience. American audiences seem completely unaware that live performances sound better for everyone when they just shut up until the end of the song. It's typically only a few minutes of self-control, and the performance is better for everyone. Maybe Americans are so 'brainwashed' by TV they don't even realise everyone else can hear them, or that others might prefer to hear the performance? What option has an audience member got when people around them are drowning out the performance? Maybe Americans have no self control, like young children? No matter the reason, it appears selfish, thoughtless, and *_disrespectful_* of the performers and everyone else in the audience. Also, Brits pay attention enough to usually recognise when performers have enough self-confidence and self-awareness that they don't need reassurance *_during_* a song. Brits respond slightly differently when performers do need reassurance. For example children might be nervous or lack confidence. Even then, Brit audiences try to help a child know their performance is more important than the random noise of anyone in the audience. Yes, children get *_respect_* too. It might be odd at first for performers, accustomed to having their talent and hard work screamed over. However, it seems they quickly get used to it. A very brief search found Cory Wong tours back in 2018, and several since. Brits feel their way is respectful. Judging from a few post-performance interviews I've seen (eg at Glastonbury Festival) American artists notice the first time. Some artists interpret it as Brit 'reserve' at first. However, they seem to appreciate and enjoy the respect for their art and performance, and return for more. If they are any good, they do not want for 'love' from Brit audiences. The difference is Brit audiences go 'nuts' _after_ songs. Judging from live and recorded events, European countries' audiences are similar to Brit audiences. I hope this explains the difference between audience reactions. It might take some thought to appreciate there are several ways to react to live performers. Best Wishes. ☮

[@Fastvoice]

@@gbulmer Yep - same is mostly for German audiences. And don't forget, @electricmonk9808 : This is not hard rock or heavy metal with mosh pits - this is widely regarded as some kind of jazz/funk/soul fusion here in Europe. But of course you're allowed to sing the bass part of "Dean Town" here too. 😉🎸

[@gbulmer]

@@Fastvoice Thank you for taking the time and effort to reply. Especially explaining this type of music not being "mosh pitty"! ✅ Singing any Joe Dart bass line is allowed, _and_ *recommended* during the journey home, ideally on public transport. 🎸 lubalubalubalubaluba... LUBALUBALUBA ... 😂 Best Wishes. ☮

[@jaykay507]

Is this a remix of the Seinfeld theme song?

[@alexmay2049]

bit mental his mum named him after this song, innit?

[@PandaLasse]

Keep the bass player. It's an order.

[@alain8349]

パフォーマンスは素晴らしいんだけど、それよりカメラワークどうにかなんないかな。 こんな動かしてたら酔っちゃうよ。

[@Fastvoice]

I'm too old or whatever to digest this weird hand camera work, sorry. It just ruins the music for me - even as a huge Cory-Wong-fan.

[@AllHailKingGila]

So glad that we got a vinyl release with Vincen!!!
