Seth is an actual mad man

[@tomjennings4092]

@@franconiro9392 I'm not actually sure that's possible.

[@Petar_Nikolov]

@Niro Franco Joe Dart is an amazing bassist, but in my opinion Seth's style is more appropriate for that kind of music as Cory's. I don't see the reason of that pointless, boring mentioning of Joe Dart's name thousands of times under the Cory's uplloads. Joe is Vulf's bassist and that is it!

[@callumwalsh6184]

@@Petar_Nikolov clearly you don’t actually understand the capacity Joe Dart has for funk

[@jaredmh90]

After hearing this version of “Get myself a real job” I think Cory would be a perfect musical guest for Sesame Street.

[@CaptainsOrders]

totally had Kermit vibes

[@RyanRiggsMusic]

All jokes aside, Cory would be the best person to get kids into music. Wether it’s rhythm section driven low volume funk with Vulfpeck, his solo work and the newer Cory and the Wongnotes stuff, or this orchestral funk fusion, the energy he brings is just pure joy and love of his craft

[@-notplato6465]

It's almost illegal that this concert is for free on KZbin! Thank you for this....

[@lillahsummersdixon4182]

so nice of cory wong to name his daughter after a cory wong song

[@flaabr]

Every Wong must have his name on a song. Its the legacy.

[@uzer_zero]

This is by far the very best-recorded and engineered live show of this type that I have EVER heard, bar none. Congrats Dirk and Cory - you absolutely nailed the sound on this one.

[@memcdm]

Agree! The sound communicates and moves the soul. Powerful from my headphones to my "high end" sound system.

[@alcraig1]

Shame the video director never showed the horns camera left, especially the bari dax.

[@lighteenblind]

That's what I said to myself too. But do the sound recordings all come from this live ? I'm not sure. I think that some guitar parts, perhaps more, were recorded afterwards in studio. I think that’s a lot of comping were done on studio. Maybe Coming from several concerts or rehearsals it's absolutely not a straight line of live recording But no matter, the whole thing is fantastic

[@scott2401]

@@lighteenblind Are you sure about that? Not doubting that but could you show a timestamp where they're different? I do know there is an album release of this concert that is significantly different. Track order changed, definitely remixed and new parts in that.

[@Bo-nk3ol]

So glad Cory didn't get himself a real job.

Rarely do songs bring tears for me after 50+ years of learning, studying, playing music.I had not heard "Ellie" before. Perfect representation of a sentiment between Father and child. Beautiful piece.

[@chaitanyashelar5142]

this should be in the education category

[@brianstivalevoice]

This is one of the GREATEST Live Orchestral/Rock/Experiential Concerts of ALL TIME. I just WEPT to "Underground" after a long "JOE-DART NECK BOB-A-THON". MY HEART. THIS IS MUSIC. THANK YOU CORY.

[@brianstivalevoice]

Additionally... Just bought my 2nd Wong's Hoodie. WORD. Wore out the other. Need a "dressy" one.

[@12blueray]

19:20 you know the music grooves, when the harp player feels the groove :)

[@colinwallace5286]

Musicians of a certain age, and who play certain instruments and genres sometimes wait a long time to be able to just have fun when they play. It was never really encouraged. Sort of sad really, if you consider that half the classical guys were likely getting sent ot of the classroom for being a pain on a regular basis.😎

[@lightbulbjim]

Don't take this the wrong way but I can totally see Kermit the Frog singing Today I'm Gonna Get Myself a Real Job.

[@damyanvelikov8838]

Everything Cory does is perfect! And done with a smile:)

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

He really nailed it. It sounds truly syrupy tits. In my humble opinion, the vocals are occasionally a whisper under, but wholly within the realm of difference-of-taste. I’m really impressed by the soundscape here.

[@mathieubounty9544]

As an artist myself, I almost cried at the lyrics of "Today I'm Gonne Get Myself A Real Job" .... such accurate

[@lewie909]

I literally did this 3 years ago after 12 years on the road. No regrets! Still love the game, just don't play it any more!

[@ZamsapesGaMing]

This was amazing! I just want to point out one thing. This man was named after a Vulfpeck song and then he named his daughter after a Cory Wong song! I sense a tradition starting! 😂😂

[@RyanEdwardWise]

"Underground" at 1:03:57 has got to be my favorite tune in this set. I love the whole damn concert, but there's something so special about this song. The simplicity at first, then the rising pulse that once the full weight comes down at 1:06:16 sends chills up my spine every time. The orchestration, the melody, Cody's voice. I could write a dissertation there's so much to appreciate about this song.

[@joeldriesner579]

I absolutely agree! can't get enough...

[@meanpizza]

> 1:06:16 sends chills up my spine every time. Man, I paused right after this moment and came to the comments to see if anyone else had chills. His voice is incredible.

[@itsfloofles]

For some odd reason Underground is completely missing now? Idk what happened but at 1:03:57 "The way it is" starts playing. Did Cory have to cut it later on? Or is my youtube player bugging out now... Edit: Seems I'm not the only one. Underground is still up on Cody's channel though kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZi6iYR9eZWAn5I

[@russellives6069]

I knew I would love this. I was surprised my 7 and 13 year old daughters both were mesmerised. They have both started learning guitar and both picked up on Cory's right hand technique. Kinda proud they caught that. Hope to see you in Georgia or Tennessee soon! I missed you last go around.

[@johanngrillenbeck]

And you didn't even glue the pickup switch to 4th position. *fearless*

[@emilie6018]

I really like how during Ellie you could really hear and understand the chaos and the peace. He composed this song so well that even with the high chaos coming from strings, the lovely melody of the piano and the rapid tempo of the drums, it managed to fit all together in this beautiful piece, and it sounds so good! The guitar, of course, was amazing too. props.

[@HaakonMusic]

You are so fookken good Cory. Thank you for bringing jazz to the younger gens.

@43:30 The piano in this stretch is so good. It's like he's breaking the melody by hitting chords off time and without some notes - but it's so intentional, controlled.
