Cory Wong // "Kenni and The Jets" (Live at The Van Buren)

[@JakeHawken]

This was probably the best show I’ve ever been to.

[@lenablack4264]

God damn that Bari is smooth

[@gustafsone]

I've seen Cory three different times now and he had a different band each time other than the core members of Cory, Petar, and Kevin. The first time I saw him I was blown away by how good he, and his whole band, was and I thought it was going to be hard for him to top that show the next time around. Well the next time around was when he first toured with The Wongnotes. Again, how could it possibly get any better? Well, this current band lineup (which is nearly the same as the Wongnotes) put on a show even better than last year! I honestly don't know how they do it every time but I'll be there for it :)

[@nesjo7777]

It’s everytime the same thing and the same sound! Cory has no distortion or whatsoever! Great musicians but it’s a boring thing 😢

[@timcunningham8418]

Played the other Kenni and the Jets version so many times in my car. Amazing performance here. Everyone on that stage is unbelievably talented.

[@AndreasArianto]

talented and truly dedicated to their craft! 😍

[@levondarratt787]

called Benny and the jets because that is what it is. And needs vocals.

[@breadstickvalley]

2:25 Jay Webb shaking them HIPS BABY

[@kjdude8765]

Love the space and Petar and Sonny's wicked fills.

[@orion6622]

Petar is about to go “some kind of monster” on those fills

[@RickCfromCBR]

Delete that 😅

[@undergroundmoe]

HE'S A BEAST!

[@SP4C3COWBOY]

Those sax solos sing. Fire cover 🔥

[@coconutjoel32]

Jake is killing it on bari, hope Sam is doing well too

@giveaway166 Congratulations you just won a prize 🎁 Dm now......💬on telegram for claiming

[@Supardanil]

There's no more iconic duo than Petar and his Cowbell 🤘😂

[@lenablack4264]

Loving Jake on Bari

[@gurushishya5545]

Respect to the sound guy as well..spot on mix!

[@fatjeezyindahouse]

Some of the best bari tone I’ve ever heard. Sometimes bari players sound insufferable, but this brings me some hope 🥲

[@nickcarlson6860]

My lord, that is some sweet, sassy honking. If I didn’t already play sax, this would make me start. As it is, I want to practice! 😊

[@DannyWoodMusic]

Underrated star of this video is freaking PETAR. Dude. Come on.

[@nbalance5061]

Love watching Petar having fun hitting the beats...wow those fills.

[@cjampcj]

Standing in front of Petar during this and not expecting his WICKED fills might be my favorite experience at a concert. Absolutely killed it and love seeing Kenni having so much fun.

[@alcirdc]

Peter Janjic is at every gig ❤🎉😂

[@gustafsone]

I'm so glad that he is part of the solid "core" of Cory's bands. No matter which musicians swap in a and out over any given tour (don't get me wrong, EVERYONE who plays with Cory is amazing!), we can always count on Petar being behind the kit! He is absolutely the definition of being "the rock" of the band!

[@trevorbeach6863]

YES! I’m so glad you uploaded the Van Buren show again. Thanks Cory!

[@martinrivas40]

Excellent, Superb!!!

[@daankuraas2361]

Petar 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jakubgiernatowski2885]

As to someone raised to EJ music and faithful CW concertgoer - this is an ubelievable treat

[@GuitarsandSounds335]

I don't know any band where their musicians have as much fun as in this one. Cory, your guitar tone is insuperable.

[@honduranme]

Tightest horn section in the biz

[@alexthomas5945]

This was one of the best live shows I’ve ever been to. What a fun show, Cory has created such a wholesome and sexy culture on that stage. Can’t wait to go to the next one!

[@beerzerker8359]

Holman is a freaking god!

[@tazman1937]

Petar looks like he’s possessed by the funk demons when he plays fills it’s awesome

[@marcguillot3843]

Excellent les 2 saxs👍👏

[@Double_Gator]

Some of the best work I have heard from Petar. Would love to see him have this kind of freedom more often Cory! Great job

[@ElBeeEss]

The tightest, funnest band in the whole entiiiiiiire universe. I've bought my ticket for next October. Every time I think about it, I get a wee bit giddy. I do hope I'm still alive.

[@dellput]

Oh you’re gonna have a blast!! I went to his show in Jakarta last weekend, almost cried on the spot. So happy for you!!!

[@ElBeeEss]

@@dellput Ahh, tears of joy, Della, I hope!? Thank you for your kind comment xx

[@FlorentChardevel]

1:05 How can he make a single note sound so groovy??? that was insane

[@jonwheeler8211]

Hey Petar, I just learned your fill at 0:15 and it's SICK! I love your creative playing style and have learned a TON from watching you!

[@fuzzbucket1983]

The dueling saxophones I never knew I needed. Made my week

[@treasuresunderfoot7876]

Best band around! Man how I love the horns. Some day I'll get to see you cats live. I can't wait.

[@szczerzo]

Awwww yisssssss, lay that sweet sweet notes on me.

[@samaBR333]

lovely! i dig that ending so much

[@1Guug]

ok sure of course it makes so much sense that they covered this song, Cory sits perfect with his guitar on this one, rest of the band nails it too of course as always LOVE THIS

[@brianmatthews232]

Incredible version, faithful to the brilliant original, such a great job guys, great saxes, would happily play this live!!!

[@fittogan]

so tight! insane!

[@raptorbandarchive]

Can we get Petar and Nate together on a track? No rules, just a good tune, a quality rhythm section, and two kits set to their liking

[@TheOlvan]

As a Benny...I approve this song!

[@gibranbailon1006]

Jajaja (Y)

[@oskaranderson6761]

Grateful to have seen this live! Would love to see an upload of Team Sports from this same show

[@Xbombsquad22X]

Best song of the set!! Loved it

[@Robwhat]

This is f-in sick!

[@TheStardustConspiracy]

Beautiful cover!! Those sax solos are on another level!! Absolutely astonishing!!!

[@andreasbuhrmann8442]

I can't help but think Cory and co would be perfect to cover Tank! from Cowboy Bebop.

[@BakerPeter]

Had just the same thought last week 😂

[@jdlm9]

I didn’t know I NEEDED this until today.

[@sampowellmusic]

i was waiting for kenny to blast off into the upper stratosphere....but still enjoyable and entertaining. i like how he stayed true to elton's original solo.

[@andrewkeen3129]

Amazing, thanks Cory

[@josephtrunk3565]

Rocking Bari Sax , one of my favorite instruments

[@Willbot1972]

Which one of Murphy's Laws is it that says that I learn about Cory's music 4 weeks *AFTER* they play Phoenix??? Ah well - next time the crew rolls through town, I'll definitely make sure I'm there!!

[@matto9734]

Everything Dope! Best Elton beaming into 2022!

[@gregoryforsterjr8365]

Maaaaan! Whaaaaat? There are not enough words to describe how awesome this cover of "Benny and The Jets". I see what you did there, calling it Kenni. Bravo all around!

[@karenhillblom7131]

Beautiful

[@yesyouam]

OMG this goes so hard

[@Cbat124]

Was at this show. Was unbelievable. 🎉

[@paulwhetstone0473]

This is a fun arrangement with super deep pockets of this Elton John song that I normally have not liked. You guys breathed some new life into it. I was especially thrilled that Petar didn’t become too insistent with the 2&4 snare hits. This gave room for overall musicality in the band.

[@viscera912]

oh man why did it have to stop, could have listened to them forever, what a groove!!!

[@seanmcmorris]

What a blast!

[@MortenLeeRai]

AWESOME!!!

YAY SOUNDS GOOD

[@stevesyracusemusic]

Jesus Christ, Cory. Unreal guys.

[@eugenekelley5348]

Petar is sick

[@hotwatermusic_]

The single shot whipping back and forth is giving me some blair witch motion sickness vibes, but other than that, I love it lmao

[@jiriwiesner]

Yaaas, that's the stuff. The horn section hides so many amazing musicians.

[@matejhanc698]

HODNĚ❤

[@ExtraFancy96]

I think I like this version more than the FF version! Not sure why, maybe a slightly slower tempo? Different use of silence between notes was killer on this particular version

[@soniccucumber6639]

Perhaps because of crazy drum and bass fills in-between sections?

[@DannyWoodMusic]

DAYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM

[@seblewin]

👏👏👏

[@alienchow680]

Ass kicking!

[@ericmyrs]

For a second I thought it was Jack Stratton on the barry. I don't think my ego could handle him being better than me at that too.

[@raptorbandarchive]

Finally another modern bari standard

[@raptorbandarchive]

If you’re playing jam band bari you better know this shit!!!!!!

[@zombi3907]

Who is the older white guy sax player? Dude is a freaking beast on the horn. Edit: Kenni Holmen, Minnesota legend, hence a connection to Cory. Awesome player.

[@thmsrttg]

4:14 HOW IS THIS SO FUNKY?!

[@mccsnackin]

I enjoyed this much more than the flyers rendish.

[@citizen_d]

Dear Cory, there are 19 other guitars and basses on stage, but you didn't play a single one of them (except may be for the guitarlele). Why? Are they just for stage interior decoration? :D

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Metric modulation? Really?

[@nesjo7777]

Great musicians, great but……😮Cory is the same sounds and licks everytime😮
