Not gonna lie, I went to a John Bellion concert just to see Lawrence. John was a bonus.

[@justfortier]

Not gonna lie, didn't even know who John Bellion was until Lawrence, and while he's talented, I dig Lawrence way more.

[@masonfitzgerald379]

I can tell this comment is legit because you spelled Jon wrong oops

[@dylankimmel5724]

Mason Fitzgerald was thinking the same hahahah

[@Zack_Taylor]

Didn't know who he was until lawrence lol

It's the ultimate sign of musicianship when a band sounds even better live than they do on recordings. They just feed off each other and its infectious. Such a great band. (You should turn Jonny up in the mix, dude is putting in work on that guitar)

[@FriteVerte]

Word! I knew Gracie had the potential to belt the way she did during Make a move. It made me yell out "YEAH!" I've been following them for a year and am amazed by their progress (whole group included). I also could barely hear the guitar over the keyboard. Maybe it's just how they like to sound though.

[@mikecantreed]

Name 1 respectable band that doesn’t sound better live. I dare you.

[@gingerkara]

@@mikecantreed Catfish and the Bottlemen

[@fredbarnes196]

Tight organ

[@85tclower]

As far as newer bands, I would put Lawrence and Lake Street Dive in that category. It’s not studio magic that makes them sound great. They can jam it out all together in one take and melt faces.

[@johnventura1637]

There have been several young musicians who have completely restored my faith in the future of music - Dirty Loops, Jacob Collier, Joey Alexander, Cory Wong, Lake Street Dive, Vulfpeck, Sarah Niemietz Scary Pockets and now Lawrence. What an incredibly talented group of musicians.

[@jaycee-fr5he]

You should definitely look into Larkin Poe. Incredible blues/jazz duo (also siblings!).

[@johnventura1637]

@@jaycee-fr5he Sorry I didn't mention them. I've been a fan for awhile.

[@PhatTrumpet2]

That's a killer list, my friend! Have you checked out Snarky Puppy at all?

[@johnventura1637]

@@PhatTrumpet2 Absolutely Snarky Puppy - Michael League is a genius, and Corey Henry is one of the best keyboardists alive. I was fortunate enough to hear them live a few years back. Thank you for catching this.

[@chicagospots]

I have the same list!

[@tommynoble3428]

I've been playing funk/soul guitar since I'm six years old. If I wasn't now 41 years old with a wife and a kid, I'd play guitar in this band for free.

[@rasta1673]

Bro I've been playing guitar all my life . Started reading music at 5 and play by ear at 10 . I play any genre at anytime ... guitar or bass ... rhythm or leads . I know exactly what you mean . Some bands are good and some not so good . But a group of people you wanna jam with is rare to find . I would jump up with Clyde and his friends no questions

[@andrewwarrendrums8969]

These guys are literally amazing. Everyone needs to know the name Lawrence

[@cesarfelix4203]

Those are real musicians right there

[@jonathanlatta20]

Best performance of Make a Move. Damn... Keep giving Gracie that space to slay, and please put Jonny Koh up in the mix, that man is cleannnnn

[@JustinFarrelljpfsing]

Jonny Koh is the king

[@raggedrec]

cast Clyde as Randy Newman for biopic !

[@joshbroughton1166]

His voice has a lot of similarities I love it

[@adamosmedia1793]

This band is the definition of tight. There is no doubt that they've played together for years and still lovin' it. The Lawrence siblings holding it down!

[@jamessteever1275]

How have I not discovered this group until now?? Wildly talented! WOW!!

[@toyadiinae9800]

I recommend their video Lawrence- Don't Lose Sight kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWGUn3Wja9uJa8Usi=4M6KO9nQVYiTiAmi

[@andrescarrasco2384]

LAWRENCE is reaching levels deep into the STARS... AMAZING

[@natalievuong5468]

Ooh, when that juicy big band sound comes in on Make A Move! Huge

[@LomaGnome]

I just wish I found them sooner. What a talented group

[@ancientfifer]

WHAT. A. FREAKING. AWESOME. BAND. SERIOUSLY!

[@johnventura1637]

the syncopation on CASUALTY is kick ass

[@daddy_dad_bod]

2019 is almost over and I just discovered Lawrence last week but they're literally my best music discovery of this year if not the past 5 years

[@chidinmaoguamanam9147]

Discovered them todayyy

[@AaronTurnerBlessed]

Discovered last week on road trip. Love them :).

[@tomypreach]

Take a hard listen and imagine the amount of thoughts that has gone into arranging this. The practice, patience, determination, discipline and talent that had to be gathered to create this.. fucking beautiful!! This is music.. alive, living and hard working !

[@glenwallace6314]

I had a casual tea with my mom this afternoon.

[@SkonrokkenTV]

Damn what a voice! You go girl!

[@rsteckable]

I am 61 grew up on Marshall Tucker, CSN, ABB, ie Jam Band etc etc. I love this shit. So much talent. So much friggin talent. Turn it up. Have fun. Be well.

[@davidf.8497]

Wow! So 70s, so groovy!

[@harrisonwood4966]

I can't believe the time that the whole band gets the red and white memo, Clyde doesn't wear his "Help me Rhonda"shirt 😂 But they killed it tho as usual

[@strandedmusicians]

I can't believe it took me going to a Jacob Collier concert in 2023 to discover Lawrence (as the opening band). These guys have been so good for so long, I feel like there's something wrong with the way I am getting exposed to new music. They're incredible and I wish I knew about them earlier.

[@beabeauty]

I feel the same!

[@majulahagapao]

Same scenario for me!

[@SonicAlchemy13]

I was obsessed with "Probably Up" when I first discovered Lawrence but "The Heartburn Song" has taken its place as my favorite, especially the live versions I come across. Jordan's solo is getting better in every new performance.

[@youbalezekias]

WHY AREN'T THESE GUYS MORE FAMOUS ?! Are they just too good for normal human ears ? Such groooooove !!!

[@tilmanstablein9255]

Still one of the most underrated bands! Just awesome stuff. ❤️

[@mediawolf1]

When they're on, they're seriously on.

[@ChrisLHommedieu]

As much as I love Lawrence - and as a 53 year old I'll go anywhere to see them - this lacks that Lawrence vibe - the music is, as always, literally perfect, but the true Lawrence vibe comes from a crowd - the siblings are Gods at running an audience. You have to see them to really believe how just staggeringly good they are. Even their videos have more umph. This feels like the staid boring gliterrati trying to bend Lawrence to a NYC studio feel. To hell with that. Find them live, buy their albums, buy their 1978 style shirts, hell watch the Honduras video. They deserve stardom!

[@channaleif]

I've never seen them live in person, but have watched of their live performances, and their vibe does seem a bit off in this video. Music is on point, as always.

[@lambofcod9554]

Just found this two days ago. It's so good it makes me cry. Can't control it. Just so good feeling. Can't get enough

[@Rachel-jc2qd]

Gracie Lawrence is one of the Best Female Singers that is out there today!!

[@Rachel-jc2qd]

Don't get me wrong, her brothers and the band are AMAZING TOO! I so can't wait for Live Concerts again...masks or not, however much money...I'd see their show anywhere, anyhow!!!

[@redeyeofthenightfall]

HOW IS THE FIRST TIME IM SEEING THIS SET. amazing everything. the room, the camera work, the mixing. fk yes

[@the_trevoir]

Lawrence is a treehouse. The massive, funky oak it’s sitting on is that rhythm section! So good. Also, I ❤️ Gracie.

[@MrBilde]

The Heartburn Song is soo cool live! :D

[@claudianeal4310]

I heard the music on Noelle Movie and was so impressed. After seeing who recorded the songs for Noelle immediately started searching for Lawrence and came across this UTube video. Outstanding! Love, their music, love their story. Magical, just pure magic! I would love to see them LIVE in NYC :)

[@Hachitov22]

I've been watching and listening to a lot of the Lawrence live shows. This is probably the best sound they had ever! who ever was mixing this, a job well done.

[@channaleif]

I have been too (3 years after you had), and their sound is on point as always, but I feel like their energy isn't the same in this set.

[@chaos8791]

This band has definitely hung out with Old Gregg, they have the funk!
