[@notnotandrew]

Didn't know an orchestra could groove so hard

[@jedidiahtan4171]

metropole orkest is good stuff , you've been missing out

[@juliayanakate7339]

Well, Andrew Becker... there it is.. isn't so awesome? I love it

[@rainergoertz2070]

Für micht ist das Metropol Orchester Weltklassee !!! ich hab Sie selber gesehen mit meiner band und wir und andere Musiker aus meiner Heimatstadt Aachen waren total geflasht....... Was die abziehen ist Superklasse !!! Cody und Cory sind natürlich auch extraklasse.... Funk at the Best !!!

[@taracatalin]

The Metropole Orkest is phenomenal

[@ericgelders]

@@taracatalin They can play anything you put them in front of

[@FirstLast-yj4ri]

Only musicians know that thrilling feeling when the whole group gels while playing a moving piece of music. Goose bumps!

[@zenwheat]

I'm blown away by the whole arrangement and performance but the cherry on top is Cory Wong mixed and mastered this... what a talented dude

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

He really nailed it.

[@fair2guy]

To be fair, I think this is a re-arrangement of an original by Cody Fry, which is also a friggin banger!!

[@educationalphysicspodcast2766]

Nah. It was Pickie.

[@severinvatter2463]

Öpp9öö

[@JimManeri]

VINCE MENDOZA conducting and arranger.

[@MrMike3137]

This place is dripping with iconic talent. Cody Fry - Wow. singing his own backups. And what a voice and perfect pitch. Cory Wong is unbelievable. Bass player nailed the funky groove. What can be said about the other 60+ musicians working as one. Beautiful. Rock On.

[@BlueBass2]

good god, the amount of money id pay to have seen this live does not exist.

[@rickfrancismusic]

That was S O C O O L !!!!!! Squeaky tight as always Cory Wong.

[@bkh__official]

Omg 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@arlofarts9]

this song puts just as big a smile on my face as the first time i heard it. just stunning. great work, Cory - and everyone involved 🎉

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

Great track - the drummer and Cody are driving this with Cory adding to it. Vince Mendoza is just along for the ride!

[@lewie909]

Watching this made my life so much... Better

[@Nedwin]

What could you ask for more? Cory Wong feat Cody Fry, the two of most talented musicians today, accompanied by Metrople Orkest. What a music!!

[@Mizukitron]

What an absolutely jaw dropping arrangement.

[@cianoleary8485]

This is bliss. Just absolutely amazing music 🎶 it's absolutely perfect. Cody's voice is insane 😮❤❤

[@pb130945]

Wow..!!! I kept coming back to watch & listen to this big band funky sounds & never get tired of it !! Cody with his great voice & piano playing, Cory with his great guitar rhythmic lead, the fabulous horn section, and the awesome drummer who kept the band's funky beats, all of these excellent collaborations have made this particular big band sounds one of the greatest funky song performance of all times !!! Love you guys.

[@thesecondislander]

Really brings you back to the days you could watch concerts

[@joshyoungmusic]

So awesome! This song was one of my first introductions to Cory and Cody back when they released the KZbin video of them in the studio. I was immediately hooked and have followed them ever since. Seeing them with the orchestra is such a great treat! That being said, how about some love for that second guitarist who they didn’t even show during his killer solo! 😂 Kind of a bummer! But great job, everyone! Thanks for sharing this with us all!

[@starbuk138]

I found them the same way, and that video also then got me hooked on Dynamo!

[@marycaldarone9763]

Ditto!!!

[@PG-yh5mk]

That's Peter Tiehuis on guitar.

[@bastiaanzijlstra]

Thanks for pointing out. Now looked at him playing during the solo (top of screen). So awesome!!

[@paulbentley2709]

Flipping Nora. Tremendous.

[@n0ztic]

4:15 the bass player's face, I can relate haha. Feelin' it!

[@Bentakur]

4:45 i just love cory's expression here!

[@samanthako4269]

FAAAAAAAKCKCKCK THIS IS SO GOOD I’M CRYING

[@jr83d]

Amazing song . . . . Horn Section like a Genesis . . .

[@brianstivalevoice]

THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. I have always loved this song, but if I Joe-Dart-Neck-Grooved any harder, I'd be dead. THANK YOU.

[@ryderlippman3105]

these songs just keep getting better and better!

[@황준하-b9q]

How can you not love this

[@lmusic865]

This video put shivers in my back. This is dope

[@Jp_Fuentes02]

3:41 makes the buildup more intense ❤️

[@Phunkophil]

Damn I've said it before and I'll say it again. This horn section is nutty.

[@fireheart9691]

the strings just add another element of zing to this already tight track. Love your work, Cory! all the way from Malaysia.

[@Vostromberg]

LOVE this song!! The groove, performance, songwriting. Everything's on point!

[@damyanvelikov8838]

Yes! Love that song! Cory&Cody again!

[@diaryofamadman5464]

Really wish there was more funk orchestra's uz this is amazing such a pristine sound

[@otrante]

What an orchestration ! Brilliant.

[@tomcutts9200]

This is just what I needed to put a smile on my face during quarantine!

[@kyleyoungmusic]

Some of the best pocket drumming I’ve ever heard.. 🔥💪🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The whole group dope and groovin.

[@NavdeepSingh-vw1gs]

Love this arrangement! Love the Phil Collins' "Something happened on the way to heaven" vibe

[@ericgelders]

Agree, and the instrumental breakdown to the end has a real Toto vibe - but all in all this really is a Cody/Cory song!

[@akivadaitchman6037]

Wow Cory and Cody ! Incredible. My favorite song!

[@jacobdefoy3695]

whoever came up with the collab between cory and cody is a genius

[@eriquechaves6461]

Eu e meus filhos estamos curtindo essa maravilhosa música na Sala de casa aqui no Brasil

[@christinasoares1874]

Eu também. aqui em Fortaleza.

[@eriquechaves6461]

​@@christinasoares1874 que bacana. Minha família paterna está toda por aí no lindo Ceará

[@freedorie]

Sunshine, beer and a new cory upload, great day 😊

[@Stettra]

I don't know how many times I've listened to this piece but damn. I love it so much. Have it in my headphones while jaming on the drums. Thanks for the amazing music! Best of Regards Arnold

[@fsquare6305]

Masterpiece.

[@SprolesThe2024]

The performance is brilliant, but if possible, the mixing and arranging is even better. It’s been since the heyday of Steely Dan that you can really HEAR all of the instruments in the ensemble! Love this so much.

[@joschka420]

Finally the video!😄😍😍🔥🔥

[@VideoCafeTIRAN]

Шикарно!!! ❤❤❤

[@sergiodifranco4380]

That 4:46 syncro in the "better" is pure joy!

[@stephenpauldavies]

Just such a perfect Friday gift. Thanks

[@paulgill8107]

Outstanding !

[@metropoleorkest]

This track is taken from the concert performed by Cory Wong and vocalist Cody Fry backed by the Metropole Orkest conducted by Vince Mendoza in the Future of Jazz series in Theatre De Meervaart in Amsterdam in november 2019.

[@nightsampler]

Grammy Winner Vince Mendoza 😀

[@ericgelders]

The Metropole Orkest plays anything you throw at them - proud to be Dutch when I see/hear this 😀! I just can't say what I like best here: the guitar solo, the delicious strings backdrop, the powering horns section. Eargasm to the point of crying, it's that good. This is fighting for priority in my head with the live version with Dynamo, which is also excellent.

[@diegoalvarez3731]

This is awesome, cory wong it's truly an inspiration to me and many people for sure.

[@DrUmAsSoLo]

Finally, thanks Cory...can't wait to see you live in Italy again!

[@MrPhilipPaul]

Yes, a masterpiece indeed!

[@whtlightnn]

I need to see this LIVE in Minnesota at some point!

[@rocco3693]

I love the Weather Report, Return to Forever part.

[@willmontgomery79]

this and light as anything are perhaps my favorite cory songs

[@willcotter2588]

The fact that they didn't cut to the guitarist during the solo bothers me

[@CloeteHenri]

The same for me at first. If you know where to look you can see him in the zoomed out view during the solo. There is a clip showing him close up a bit earlier - but he stands up during the solo. My guess is he might have moved out of view from the fixed camera and they could not use that footage.

[@giovannoyohanesreinaldo22-6]

our mother earth is blessed to have you Cory !!!

[@amoresgwyn10]

100% eargasm ❤️‍🔥

[@NathanSink]

MONEY! 💰

[@juliayanakate7339]

the music is so beautiful.

[@Gassyyetclassy]

I love the intro 😊

[@PreppyAva12345]

Can’t still and watch this, I have to stand up and boogie!!

[@Mattguitarmania]

Only Cory!

[@becauseisaac]

Whoever mixed this, good on you!

[@notpopebuthope]

... sounds & feels GREAT !! ... SALUTE !!

[@aivira3161]

I want to thank Spotify to play me this song and now it’s my new Drugs ! From France.. 👏👏👏😍😍😍

[@bluecabin1]

Cody Fry's vocal is amazing, Cory Wong's guitar is perfect!! I love them

[@ryanyoung6941]

This is the party, Karamu, fiesta, forever fire! Cory and Cody - good lawd sons

[@nightsampler]

Watched the whole concert earlier. I may have to get the smile surgically removed. Thank you so much for the music. Cody's reactions to the band are priceless

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

very very well............................................................................

[@eriksaxmarx]

What a masterpiece!

[@adamadrianYT]

This is so amazing! Captivated even by the opening bars, I love music and the people it brings together

[@marycaldarone9763]

That voice!! I’m hooked.

[@zdeneklojkasek1841]

SUPER, PJEKNE !!!

[@GabiMaciel_oficial]

The downside of this song is that it ends. Simply wonderful, beautiful arrangements, impeccable string lines, as well as the brass, all very perfect. Congratulations....

[@gabileogabilei594]

Daaamnnn this is firee!

[@TheAdrielCortez]

I had chills hearing from here, imagine it live...! Simply amazing

[@rickboyaci]

a full load of outstanding musicians talents that delight me with this wonderful music

[@georoll]

2:28 Me in High School: dreams of playing drum set, but gets pegged as the stand-up percussionist who only gets to play 4 notes in the whole song.

[@MaintainMundane]

Still getting paid tho

[@MaintainMundane]

ᵘˢᵘᵃˡˡʸ

[@joewakeford]

Wonderful work, and a great orchestral arrangement.

this should obviously be a chart topping hit

[@riverdonoghue9992]

Excellent 😊

[@fredericofernandes6117]

[@juhakalliokoski]

Awesome! I mean, what a groove with the whole orchestra! Hey, come on 😮.... horns are crazy good! 🤯

[@possumsnest]

Just superb. Brilliant song Cody.

[@danteelijah9080]

Well I'll be damned..... This song just keeps sounding "better" and "better" 💯💯

[@mangolassi_.]

But man is this great. Great song, great arrangement, great performance by everybody on stage. Can't stop to listen.
