[@gustafsone]

I've always had so much respect for key players who can do that. Another of my favorite players is a young girl (I think she is 17 or 18 now, I can't remember) called "Domi" and she is un-freaking-believable. She might not be to the level of Cory Henry yet, but she doesn't need to be. Her style is also very different, too. She plays with another kid who is even a year or two younger than she is called "J.D. Beck" and he's already ridiculously good drummer. I highly recommend looking up those two if you haven't already. They just did a set on the "Zildjian Live" series which, by the way, needs to be at the top of your list right now if you haven't been watching them yet. Larnell Lewis did a set on the series last summer and OMG he is a beast. The house band for the series was put together by Sput Searight, who is another prominent Snarky Puppy drummer, and Nate Werth, who is the incredible percussionist for Snarky Puppy.

[@TomGillardMusic]

@@Matthewrents I disagree actually. Larnell is an incredible drummer - but I think Lingus is one of the simpler songs on the album from a drums perspective. There’s only 2 main grooves in 5, plus the solo section in 4.

[@hardiksharma1428]

The look on a person's face when they watch Cory play this solo for the first time is PRICELESS Edit: pls go watch Larnell's Rejoice, One Note Samba, what about me live versions, flood live versions, the city lights, and other stuff. Hmu up for more in the replies and i can go all day long, because this guy is, in my opinion, a Superman amongst a species of human drummers, and you'd feel tremendous joy in discovering him for yourself.

[@Christian-cy9sx]

AMEN! I've listened to this song so many times that I now love finding reaction videos for it now specifically to see people's face when they hear it.

[@gustafsone]

That's why I love watching Sean Martin doing the 'ole facepalm once Cory gets going and then eventually he's like "you know what, fuck this, I can't even sit next to this guy right now" and then to goes to sit with the rest of the audience in awe of what is happening on the keyboards. I think, perhaps, my favorite thing about Snarky Puppy is how much respect each of them have for each other. Mike League constantly with the stank face during solos of other band members. The icing on the cake is that ALL OF THEM are master class musicians and they *still* can sit there in awe of what their bandmates pull out of their arse on any given night. I love it so damn much!

I am a musician and went to school for music, and have easily seen hundreds of shows. Cory Henry is the most ridiculous musician I have ever seen in my life hands down. I have had transcendent experiences at his show. Not only is his playing out of this world but the energy that he has is next level. I have seen him jump around the stage singing and play organ and keys all night. Every time I see him or take my friends to see him everyone there says "this is the most incredible music I have seen in my life". I once even saw him do a completely improvised mind-blowing set with Isaiah Sharkey on guitar (who played with John Mayer, and Taron Lockett (who played with Prince, Snoop Dog, Willie Nelson etc.) on drums Seriously think Cory Henry could play a watermelon with his ass and make better music than most. Definitely check more of his stuff out and see him live ASAP.

This set of sessions for "We Like It Here" was the 3rd time in a row that Snarky recorded an album LIVE in a studio (with an audience), previous instances are "Tell Your Friends" and "Ground Up" (great videos of pretty much all of that stuff). They chose to do that because they are first and foremost a LIVE band, this is how they play all the time. OK, it is true that when they do this, they do multiple runs through the material, like might book 4 nights in the studio and do 2 sets each night with the audience, so they do get maybe 8 takes of every tune, and obviously the ones we see in the recording are the best takes, but still. I've seen Snarky play live 8 times over the past few years, and their performances are aways insanely wonderful.

He's an absolute musical genius who plays just about every instrument ever made. He has many many must-sees, but his arrangement of the Flintstones theme was one of his first Grammy winners. He has bigger, more mind melting stuff (Moon River, All Night Long) but I think starting with his earlier, more pared down stuff might be nice.

Keep in mind, the drummer larnel Lewis had to fill in last minute. This is essentially his first time playing these tracks with the band, he learned all the songs on this album on a 6 hour flight. He is incredible

[@wildthingmb3705]

Man your enthusiasm for music just sells everything you're talking about! Keep doing it dude 👌

[@Guitargate]

Thx my friend!

[@guitarlizard7306]

I love watching every reaction vid to Lingus just to see the reaction to Cory Henry. Love it!

[@elanfrenkel8058]

I don't listen to the original video anymore because this reaction video is so much more entertaining. His face when cory firsts starts playing the otherworldy chords is priceless and exactly the correct emotion.

[@williamorrah9613]

This song rocks, but there is another song on this album called 'What about me'. It's filmed in the same way and room and everything. And it's like this song crossed with Jimi Hendrix and there is another guitarist in the band called Bob Lanzetti. And he delivers one of the eeriest and most fascinating guitar solos I have seen in a while. Definitely check it out if you thought this was awesome. Edit: It also has Larnell (the drummer) give one of his most badass performances.

"One of the best musical moments I have ever witnessed in my life, hands down." Yep. Lots and lots of us had the same reaction first time we saw Cory take his solo. And it never gets old, no matter how many times you watch it. Moments of spontaneous creativity like that are something to behold.

“Best musical moment i have ever seen in my life - hands down” ive Seen Buddy Rich live, weather report, Chick Corea and i have to agree. Must have watched/listened to Lingus more than 50 times now and i seem to achieve the same state of joy every time! 👏👏 Im still totally shook 👍

Hey Mike. John Gomm - Passion flower has been mentioned in your comments LOADS. He lives near me in Yorkshire, England. The dude is SICK. Get your acoustic out & ENJOY. Best wishes, Dan, England.

Love the channel. If you’re into face-melting solos, The Main Squeeze’s “Have a Cigar” cover of Pink Floyd is absolutely insane.

Can't stress this one enough. Happy to see someone else posting this!

[@jhowe78]

I suggested it also. Max is a beast.

[@joannalewis5279]

Love you enthusiasm and your humility. Amazing review

[@macklinroberts7818]

This video gives me some kind of feeling I've never had in this kind of way. Normally, only bursts of genius improvisation give me this feeling where I sit back and my brain stops even attempting to analyze whats going on in front of me. Total relaxation, total peace in those moments. I just had that feeling during this entire video. It's why I have always, and will forever love music. What a special piece, one of those things that make you feel lucky to be living when you are. Though the music is the star of this video, you are a perfectly humble person to reflect on, and share your thoughts on it. I appreciate you. Much Love-

[@macklinroberts7818]

ps thanks for introducing me to Bernie Worrell

"It probably took them a month to rehearse this and get it this tight" Larnell Lewis strolls off the plane after learning the song on the flight

[@Coasters_and_coffee]

Corey Henry is the best! His album with The Funk Apostles - Art of Love, is amazing too! YOU NEED TO DO A GOV'T MULE VIDEO!!!!!

[@siscoismyhomey]

I got to meet Cory and Sharay Reed after a show a while back, that band is unreal.

[@Erickgonfire]

I loved the way he started the video with all the energy of get into the song and play the guitar with the song, but as the song went on he just stopped caring about the guitar and was just baffled with it, true reactions

[@lovetofishneosheo1829]

Man Your Channel Gets Better And Better Great Work .

[@bleyzza3739]

It's like he wants to fly off his Chair the whole time😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@addrock123]

Im on probably 100,000 views in on lingus, Cory’s solo still gives me chills everytime

[@saranebeling6375]

Your thoughts put into words exactly what I was thinking when I first saw this video!!! Just nuts goodness

[@planetarysader]

SIMPLY SUBLIME! As a lifetime player myself - the first time I saw this showstopping video it was like learning an amazing new musical language. THIS is the stuff right here that makes our species worthy! The very heights of sonic and harmonic fidelity, Cory Henry's performance is nothing short of otherworldly. Thank you so much for doing such a great job breaking down the brilliance of the work and reminding us all just why music is that important to the human spirit! Thank you good sir ~ Subscribed

[@TheFlash26]

11:12 - the moment when he's like..."I'm turning my volume off because Cory has something really important to say right now."

[@JohnDwyer123]

The entire "We like it here" is a killer. Spine chill all over.

[@thomastallis8819]

this composition sets the stage for one of the most brilliant keyboard solos we've all been blessed to enjoy. Thank you Cory Henry. This is obviously not the first time you've heard this, so it's not your first reaction. If it were, you would continue to be spellbound during the coda instead of playing along; Cory's brilliant imagination and kinetic energy doesn't let up and actually increases the musical excitement as he interacts with the horns in a magnificent display of contrapuntal ingenuity. He's a genius. Thank you for your channel!

[@AJMichaud1]

I love every second of this video. I'm already familiar with this track so it's fun for me to know what was coming and then to watch your reaction. Amazing as always

[@52ndWarhawkGerbil]

You gotta do a reaction to Larnel Lewis's Zildjian Live performance. His drumming is so good.

[@DWDrums1228]

Snarky Puppy is the kind of band where as good as you think everyone is, they're better.

[@RaymondRobinsonJr]

You are not alone! I still watch that video quite frequently

[@dickietickler2994]

watching you react to some of my favorite musical moments is truly such great content.
