Still the best Europa on youtube.

[@alexandrapopa8984]

Indeed, I have searched everywhere the internet just to find if exist a better version than this, because that's just me, when it comes to good music. The 90's were grait in terms of expression and feelings.

Why does he make faces whilst playing ?

Just incredible, that coming from a 47 year Gato fan. I will never say one is better than the other, it's just a different style, both are unique in their own way. Both knocking this Santana piece out of the park !!!

[@MichaelBrown-fv5cq]

I have heard this song played by at least 50 folk this is the best I ever heard this I've listened to this over a thousand time the best Grover Washington is smiling

[@robwilliams2265]

The GREATEST SAX SOLO I have EVER heard. You wouldn't believe me if I told you how many times I've listened to this and how many people I've sent it to.

[@Milliecoqui]

My favorite version of Europa, and I adore Gato and Santana, but this was magnificent....

[@singmysong4444]

Wow.... and those fools in the audience just keep talking and are not amazed at this very stellar performance.... Well done Sir! Mr. Greg Vail... !!!

[@jaharitucker3953]

Rarely do you find musicians with this much passion for the craft. Singing his heart out. One of the greatest tenor players of all time in my books.

[@Whisp999]

Never heard a sax sing like that

[@billfisher3266]

I'm a sax player and I know I'll never reach that level of playing. I love watching him hit those high altissimo notes and seemingly doing it with ease. I'm amazed at how he's not even breathing hard after the song. I can't believe some gave him a thumbs down.

[@silversailer]

I’ve watched this probably 25-30 times since I found it a few days ago!! Absolutely Amazing!!!

[@debbiedeeannbell5551]

2024 Greg and Gato Barbieri are gifted musicians and their versions of Europa on the saxophone sound the best on you Tube!❤

[@fantomelitteraire7420]

This night; at this place; at this time; in the past; it was the perfection. Absolutly amazing

[@2karencraig]

Ohhhhhh just beautiful the best in the world for Eupora

[@deborahjimenez5514]

ALWAYS GREG VAIL. ❤

[@2karencraig]

He should have won a Grammy

[@DEWessonsax]

Some may try.... But Greg Vail has no equal here. Hats off to you my friend. This will go down as one of historys masters.

[@bethbagley3051]

This man is totally enthralled and making love to that saxophone ! My God: amazing, and I thought Gotto was the best!

[@deeannbell993]

Love this guy- super sax of Europa!

[@williamparker8356]

My name is Lance Parker on the saxophone player from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania studied with the great saxophone jazz players Sonny stitt in fact Sunny gave me his Mark 7 tenor saxophone in 1978 I used to travel with him and study on the road I play this song very similar to Greg Vail but in my opinion nobody does it better than Greg Vail he has mastered the song along with many other songs Richard Elliot also does another great job and of course the fabulous gato barbieri who originally did the song was fabulous but in my opinion nobody does it better than Greg Vail this message from sax player Lance Parker Pittsburgh PA

[@gorilphant]

Just knocks my socks off

[@koochulhee]

This is Korea Seoul I give you a round of applause and support for your performance. Please stay healthy and upload a lot of good performances. You are the best.

[@GregVail]

Please watch more. I have many Jazz videos and Christmas too!!

[@wolfangoamadeo]

The intentionality of each note is great to endow the whole piece with an emotional load of feelings that really hypnotizes you and absorbs your attention until the end. And the gestures end up convincing the viewer that this is not circumstantial or ephemeral, but a musician who really has the talent to make his instrument speak of very human things. BRAVO MAESTRO!!!!

[@Gabrielavelascocarpio]

i love you. i love your music, waohhhhh

[@李彥璋-g4s]

this is my favorite song, so sentimental and tempting heart

[@ramdamasco]

I love the sax, it gives me goosebumps and even a teary eye. This song (Europa) was written by Carlos Santana in the 70's you can look it up online and I'm sure you can find the notes.

[@ertansabanclar5132]

Great,great.......

No one will ever be able to come close to this rendition. An absolute translation of the heart, and how it can be moved through music. And he never even broke a sweat!

[@DME309]

Absolutely Beautiful

[@the_great_reset8286]

yess , completely true ....

[@debsam77]

Then you haven’t heard Richard Elliott play it!!!!!

[@ordenadoysimple2392]

No one can come within 10 miles of this rendition . I used to think that Gato Barbieri ( the great master ) was untouchable boy was I wrong ! No one has the Greg Vail sound except Greg Vail ! Proven fact !

[@thegirlsilove]

well obviously you haven't heard Gato Barbieri play it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYOsk6h_mrmYrZY written by Santana...But Greg gave a good rendition in a hotel lounge.

[@borisguti]

I'm back..I swear I'm back to this video at least once a month for the last year. I can't remember an instrument singing like Greg's sax on this song.

[@cliohalpin2064]

It is 11:22. My son departed on the 22nd. His fun with 11:11 left a mark in my heart. No song can describe this mother's heart in this sorrow and in this tenderness in this song. Passionate and sweet how Greg breathed into a beautiful sound. Thank you for sharing.

Great hair,oh, and you can surely play that Horn. Heartfelt :)

Wow!! This amazing. Such an amazing sax player and great band

[@IsaiahVenegas]

Shooooot.....kill't it! Some people here are saying "too animated...", "look at that hair..." etc, WHO CARES! That was the early 90's people! Entertainment, hello? This is just me, but if I'm going to be spending my hard-earned money at a venue, & the musicians make money off of what I & others spend, then they better earn it! I'm not gonna want to sit there & watch a guy just stand there, playing a passionate song without passion. Awesome technique & tone, inspiring performance. YOU GO GREG!

[@AlexKostylev]

Isaiah Venegas agree too!!! great cover!

[@CarlyWaarly]

Isaiah Venegas Greg is a fabulous player and nice with it too! Lovin the mullet and the shoulder pads xD we all had them!!

[@ta-shunanderson5444]

Miserable people are always looking for something to complain about. Screw em lol
