Not sure about 'happy' so much as affirmed and supported

@@DeliquescentinsightI was about to roll my eyes at a ‘negative’ comment, but then , yep nailed it I think.

[@johnsrabe]

@@Deliquescentinsight Personally makes me happy to see him play it - not the other two - but I don’t get the same feeling when I just hear it. So maybe for me it’s more about the crowd reaction (whatever they’re feeling). I love seeing a huge crowd reacting positively to a performance - like being in a theatre for Auntie Mame, or the “ you know how to whistle” scene in “To Have and Have Not.”

I’m dumbstruck. This instantly makes my list of top 20 live performances, ever. I grew up with Bruce Hornsby and the Range. The vibe here with Goose & Co. is off the chain. When you can take a classic like “The Way It Is” and give it new juice without changing its brilliance, but adding to it….that’s some musical magic right there. My god this is amazing.

[@MrLeoMadrid]

When I was 16 years old (1988), I was in a student house in Southampton, and I played "The Way It Is" on the upright piano that was in the house. The owner had me play it for 2 hours slowly until she transcribed the entire sheet music. There was no internet back then. What a wonderful song and what a great interpretation by Bruce and Goose. Congratulations.

[@shannonferguson4810]

The arrangement and production of this rendition is amazeballs! I was sixteen in 1986 and owned a copy of The Way It Is on tape, which I listened to on my Sony Walkman. The album sounded great then and it still sounds great now. Quality music stands the test of time.

[@davidkapel7056]

Bruce 'n Goose! I like that name! Cool. They should do a side thing! I'd go to that for sure! Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 'n Goooooooooooooooooose! ✌️ EDIT:To be totally honest, this is my first time listening to Goose and it only took about 45 seconds before I was dancing alone in my living room like I was there! Fkn awesome!! I think I'll be listening to a hell of a lot more from here on in! ❤😂🕺💃🕺🏃‍➡️🕺.

As for the keyboard player was beside himself happy to watch that intro over Bruce's own shoulder. This song makes me deliriously hap so I understand. The solos are exhilarating! I was so glad Tupac sampled it and this is also pretty brilliant....keep these songs alive! I like how they worked guitar into this piano heavy song here. And the bass is really good too. Now I need to get into the goose rabbit hole. I guess that would make it a goose hole. I don't think I have heard of you before. But will be!

These guys really do bring that song life and beauty and thought, just as it was always meant ro be when Bruce played it over his long and wonderful career. This is the collaboration everyone could benefit from having heard. "The way it is" will absolutely never die or not be relevant.

Bruce's intro was amazing. Piano was the one instrument I took lessons for for around a year when I was a kid and I never got anywhere close to Bruce or Peter's skill level but Bruce and now Peter still inspire the heck out of me whenever I dust off the old keyboard and throw a little number together.

[@LukeMaynard]

I have just discovered, and heard, and fallen in love with this band. What an incredible collaboration this is. You can hear SO MUCH of Bruce's genius here - lyrically, melodically -- and SO MUCH of it is that you can tell this was not "well-rehearsed"--it's just a bunch of hugely talented people who know the song well enough that Bruce can be as inventive as he wants (and he is SO inventive as a jazz-crossover artist), and the whole group just jams out. The EXPLORATION you get here is so incredibly exciting for me as a musician, and you can see that they're playing for each other's enjoyment as much as for the audience. The way the singers find themselves harmonizing toward the end on a song that natively had no vocal harmony on the original record is just one more place that they've breathed new life into this song. That, and I absolutely LOVE how much of a frustrating tease Bruce is at the beginning of the song. His little improvisations inch slowly, slowly, toward what sounds like it might be the opening riff to what's probably the ONLY Bruce Hornsby & the Range song this crowd knows. Then right as he's about to hit the opening riff he backs off into unfamiliar territory again, then whinds his way back up, then lets the excitement and familiarity dissipate. When he finally hits the song proper it's just so incredibly satisfying. When the drummer comes in with a drum part that is so instantly recognizable, it's a really nice touch to give him the first definitively identifiable part of the song. It's in some ways the most generic drumbeat possible, the least exciting part of the whole song, and yet they give him the kick-off just so that every single person in this band gets the chance to shine on this incredible version. This is what I wish music still sounded like on the radio. This is the real deal, and if more people made and played and paid for music like this, I might still be making ,more of it myself.
