In any other era you guys would be global superstars. Vocally Gracie is Whitney good, Clyde is Lionel Ritchie good, your material is excellent, work ethic superb. Thanks for reminding an old muso how fun it is to sleep in a van and setup your own kit! You're young, talented and deserve to have your dreams come true 😊

[@makes123]

60 y/o drummer here, 46 years in the biz. You guys are a gift, enjoying your rise! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@finnholzhauermusic]

1 year and 1 incredible album later ... ❤

[@nugznmugz]

Love the band... great for you that you're opening for the Jonas Bros... except I don't really care to see them. I'll catch ya on the next tour hopefully!

[@rawproductionfam]

Hello Lawrence Siblings!!! I really love you guys because me and my sisters are also musician! We are soo inspired to play music more ! We promise to push forward on our music for people to listen on our music 🤗

[@darrinlalla9008]

KZbin suggested your video. Thank you KZbin! My new favorite!

[@AskJamieTurner]

Just came across your music on TikTok and tracked you down here. You guys are AMAZING. Bought tickets to the Radio City Music Hall concert (even though I live in Atlanta). Can't wait to see you guys in NYC. Let us (your longstanding and new fans) know what we can do to support you -- the world needs your positive energy and great vibes!

[@davebetts]

Loving "Casualty" - think I've listened to it approximately 32.6 million times already. Tune!

[@chelseyroberts2349]

Just stumbled across the band for the first time today and I’m hooked! Wishing you all nothing but success, thank you for sharing you talent and hard work with the world!!

[@mandisaluthuli1687]

Me today!

[@thomasbrissee3251]

The thing I see about Lawrence that sticks out is LOVE. Love of each other, other humans and the value in each, Love of music, life in general, man, SOOO much freegin Love at the forefront of the music and the family that is the band. The world needs as much love as is possible and you, Lawrence, are heapin' a heapin' helpin on the world and all it's humans and their unbelievable fantasticness. Hope to see you on my daughter's birthday in Minnea-polis. Lo' you gice!

[@DeanoPiano]

Heard about these guys for a while but never really checked them out until what I’ve just seen on Jacob Colliers recent insta post about this new song featuring Lawrence and the great Michael McDonald, the voices just blew me away, and good music performed live by amazing musicians such as you guys will always get noticed, I’m going to enjoy watching this band of siblings and fellow musicians grow and make the world a better place ❤

[@hannahpark3722]

I was at their last show before COVID hit, and it is hands down the best concert I have ever attended - the energy was just electric! I'm so glad they're touring again! I can't wait to see them again!

[@jimcifelli1336]

I have been following your band for a while. Great musicians and great songs. As a trumpet player I am especially appreciative of your excellent horn section. And YOU PLAY LIVE! Wonderful.

[@andreidinu7316]

You guys need to come to Europe, you might be surprised by how many fans you have and it will definitely be an amazing experience.

[@josiahpatrizio9464]

I was at this show at the NOVO. One of my favorite performances I've ever seen.

[@Puyax01]

Just discovered you. Subscribe. I haven't got hooked like this for a band since Band-Maid 4 yeas ago. Great stuff Lawrence. I'm in my 5th video on this one. Love the chemistry. I hear you and it feels like a Broadway show.

[@ImaFanboyMal]

I am so mad that when you guys played NC State in 2017 with Jon Bellion when I was a freshman that I wasn’t able to go and find you then because I love your music so much now

[@JoeIsOut2lunch]

I hope you write a hit in your next album and you all get PAID, you deserve it. PS: my daughter is a big Gracie fan, I’m deciding to show her this video even if there are swears and pot reference. Parenting is…complicated

[@RedeyedJedi00]

Kids are always more intelligent and resilient than you think. Trying to insulate them from the world never works out in your favor. Honesty and love will never fail you. Better they learn the truth from you than someone else... But you must know that already. You're definitely a good parent if your kid is a fan of Lawrence 😉🤘☮️

[@jaymop]

they've already written so many hits and already deserve to get paid.

[@clydekaila123]

You rock 💯

[@JonoEllis]

The editing, story telling and sound mixing on this is so tight!

[@RedeyedJedi00]

It is depressing and disheartening to see a rare, unique and special talent such as Lawrence so severely underappreciated... barely breaking the 1M mark here and there. KZbin is saturated with endless mediocre / trash music that undeservingly receives more views. It is frustrating to say the least. This group deserves hella recognition and I truly hope you get the love and respect you deserve... And sooner rather than later. ☮️🤝💚✌️😉🤘☮️

[@dougbrown5385]

don't think of it as depressing as it makes them a much more accessible band. while I do wish them the success that lesser artists have, I like being able to actually get tickets when they come to town.

[@TheDavidlezcano]

This is incredible. Authenticity is pouring out of it and the production value is through the roof

[@catc9402]

Hopefully you come to Portland someday, would have liked to see just you guys this year without having to get tickets for the Jonas Brothers too.

[@theramentop9184]

They came last year to mcmenamins in Portland!

[@pixelstix1215]

First of all this video was edited and produced incredibly well. Secondly, y'all deserve all the recognition for the hard work you've been putting in for so long! I hope your music goes farther and wider and reaches audiences in all corners of the world. I personally have been waiting to catch a show for a few years and am stoked to have the opportunity to really soon! Hope you play "Probably Up" in Phoenix because that is my all time fave Lawrence song

[@ob882]

who ever edited this, at 2:05. you're a genius!

[@Konspiracer]

[@jamesfield1674]

Love you guys

[@dj2mixx429]

Great Video! A Tour in Europe (especially Germany) would be awesome

[@Leono22]

The first video that I saw of you guys was the one in the van, since then my wife and I are HUGE fans of you, your suuper talented and your POPNERDY songs are just what we aaaall need. We would love to see you live, so please come to ARGENTINA!!! Cheers to you all!

[@gabriellaputri9773]

watching this makes me feel like a proud mom somehow loool

[@kapilmeena1949]

This is start of great band

[@dj67084]

I fucking love you guys

[@hawkrider88]

Loved it! Love the band! And can't wait for your next trip to the Atlanta area!!!!!!!!! More video please!!!

[@heman_lee]

Ahh Lawrence is such a big inspiration to me. The way they take their craft so seriously but have so much fun on stage at the same time. Their soul and emotions really reflect in the music they put out

[@andytupman2051]

How many Lowe's could Row Lowe rob if Rob Lowe could rob Lowes?

[@ColiePoo]

OK. Now I know who you are, this is just super fun!

[@tummy_jr]

To have waited through out the lockdown to be presented with this masterpiece. Absolutely mind boggling 🤯🤯🤯. Lots of love from Nagaland, India. ❤❤

[@backseatstuff]

Whoever synced up Kimmel to the lyrics at 17:00, that's attention to detail. And if it was a happy accident, tell no one.

[@davebeharrymusic]

This is wonderful artistic documentary work. Inspirational ❤

[@gelraquel9]

We need more of these documentaries!!! Heck, I'll even edit them for you guys. SO. GOOD.

[@RafaRGCL]

I'm happy to know about LAWRENCE, thank u. already in my playlist

[@jenniferizzo3501]

I love the Monkees t-shirt!!!

[@born2dsign]

Just checked last night and was excited to see two headliner shows in the tour. Snagged tickets for the Columbus, OH show and can’t wait to make the 3+ hour road trip next month for the show!!

[@debbyvaldez3466]

ok its my turn to say it: COME TO BRAZIL. u guys are crazy talented love the songs

[@MsSunshineElephant]

Always my favorites! Finally had a chance to sit down and watch this 🥹❤ Love y’all! I can’t wait to see you on your again

[@jonimationzz]

[@spikemanuel]

Can you come to Santa Barbara please ? Thank you for your music!

[@davidbevselway1601]

[@kellimorton9079]

okay I did not expect this to make me cry?? I LOVE it!!! Can't wait for the next episode!! Also I didn't know Jordan was a friend for so long!! That's amazing!!

[@brandonbond1963]

Love Lawrence! Seen them twice (Seattle and New Orleans) and they always put on such a great show! I’m glad they are doing so well; they deserve it all! ❤

[@stefdazzle3075]

Simply so much good and pure vibes I get from this! Plus that I feel motivated to follow my own musical journey and dreams to a point where I cannot imagne myself to be. This helps me to don't care about insecurity someway and keep going! Loved it so much, can't wait for the next episode! Much love!

[@dannyvue6595]

Gracie is fine as hell.

[@Bernie008]

Come to Europe! Pleaseeeee!

[@mikecoleman6703]

This is awesome, Production and editing is great. Excited for more. Hope it brings you all more much deserved exposure.

[@margaretburkett9634]

Loved your band last night in Indianapolis!!! Keep Rocking!! Where do we get your CD!!

[@Shannon_710]

New favorite show 🎉

[@Hooplahoma]

Please come to Oklahoma City!

[@michaelheins487]

I love this band.

[@corentin1153]

Thanks for that series ! This is really inspiring. Hope to see you soon again in France !

[@user-hc5th3oo3h]

Seeing Lawrence live in Amsterdam was one of the best concert experiences I’ve ever had. I also took a friend with me who mainly listens to metal and rock, and he was amazed by their performance, musicality and energy on stage. If you can see them live, you have no choice.

[@devindearden2545]

Jonah Hill!!!!!! I love how Jonah Hill is finally follow his dreams of playing music!

[@anaisabeljurado7128]

Done it again! Anything you guys release is magic. When will you come to Europe? I will travel to see youuu😍😍

[@justplainjosh]

thank you guys for putting this out. As a member/director of a band, this is great to see a little of how y'all are doing it! And as a fan, I love the behind-the-scenes stuff. Y'all rock!

[@jamiesunshine8836]

I found you guys during Covid. And have been obsessed ever since. I NEVER skip songs when they pop up on my spotify. You are one band that I WOULD indeed travel HOURS to see. I don't see many concerts, or haven't since the plague, and y'all are on my bucket list for sure.

[@maestrophil]

Doggone it - I was hoping to see them soon without having to sit through the Jonas Brothers too - or pay JOnas Brother's prices, or put up withj Jonas brother's crowds. :-). When they come back to town on thier own, I will be there!

[@jenniferklein9191]

I agree on this. I went to an intimate concert in Chicago a few years ago. Was great

[@chewy1550]

i would kill for you guys to release the intro music here 14:10 please!

[@brandomikeman318]

Theyre coming to Vancouver around my Bday and im about to get 3 more jobs to try and make it out

[@decastring]

Lawrence is so incredibly inspirational! I stumbled across your music during the pandemic, a time when the entire country (world?) was out of whack. The power of your music, and the joy you show while performing got me off my backside and encouraged me to start re-learning guitar and keys...skills that have lain dormant for over 25 years! Thank you for sharing your talents, your love of music and performing, with us, your fans!

[@chriseckhoff3273]

Props to the producers of the documentary, super well put together! This band is a generational talent, can’t wait for more and more people to discover them

[@DJILLEE]

I had never heard of you before this popped up on my youtube home screen. I stayed because the doc was great. The weird thing that happened though was that I was just listening to Eric Hutchinson and noticed Clyde was featured on a song I was listening to. Those two things happening in that order was a sign that I need to listen to you guys lol. Adding you on Spotify!

[@kurtbeckstrom9929]

LOVE This! Thank you for coming to Salt Lake City UT! We love Lawrence!

[@twayne462]

I have seen them every time they have been playing near any place I was at the time. It all started near the beginning when they were playing free shows in a field with hay bales for seating in Virginia. This coming tour is the first I will miss. They should not be opening for The Jonas Brothers. The Jonas Brothers should open for them. Hopefully, they will gain some traction from it via tweens and moms.

[@pyre753]

Such a sick video. Can't wait for the rest.

[@laramendes773]

amazing and so inspiring! hope to see you in Brazil someday!!

[@devindearden2545]

Wait, Jonah Hill’s sister was in Last of Us? I’m glad she had time to play music with him!

[@listenchump4041]

You guys are great! Really nicely done video about a fine band.

[@georgechristiansen6785]

Imagine having to cancel a whole tour over the sniffles.

[@sgsax]

Had a huge smile on my face watching this. I am an unabashed fan of this band and your music. Every one of you is a monster, and you all seem like truly lovely people on top if it. Was thrilled to see you in my home town this spring. Can't wait to see more of these documentary videos!

[@ryan5494]

This LA show was my first concert ever. I was never a huge fan of a single band until I fell in love with Lawrence and their music. I’m a bit of an anxious person in a crowd so concerts never really appealed to me but I still remember this show as some of the most fun I’ve ever had. It’s supper cool to see the behind the scenes of what went into creating such an awesome experience.

[@DasPhiller]

Best Liveband on the planet. Love this documentary. Sending you love and the best wishes from Germany ❤

[@justreidiculous]

Amazing insight into the band - one of my favorite lives shows I've ever seen! Your energy is unmatched.

[@ericdevere888]

I am so impressed. I will buy Jonas Brothers tickets to see you all.

[@NotRogerSmith]

A good chunk of these comments were published nearly 20+ hours ago, and the video was just released lmao

[@jonathanmercurio5865]

Maybe it was released to patrons first?

[@sooupys]

Probably released to patrons!

[@NotRogerSmith]

@@sooupys if that’s so I need a link to sign up 👏😂

[@andrewfraser9382]

It had a Premier, which means that for advertising the link it’s live 24 hours before. Don’t think it’s been visible/watching before then

[@mattcross2341]

Can’t wait for the next one!

[@shanezane4171]

I literally had this idea for you guys a couple months ago but I’m already working on a documentary. This is so exciting

[@KonstantinZander]

thoroughly enjoyed watching this! PLEASE come to Austria next tour!!

[@ZetaDellSmithMusic]

When are you back in London???

[@chasesavvy918]

i found you guys a few months before your show in Indianapolis on the Glory Sound Prep tour and i've been hooked since. The whole band is phenomenal. Clyde & Gracie, you truly have built something so beautiful. It only makes sense for you to be on Beautiful Mind Records. Mahalo for all the classic songs 💙

[@aliceb4287]

Had the best time seeing Lawrence live in London, unmatched vibes! Waiting for the next UK visit!

[@THEITCITY]

This is so great and such a cool idea to do it as a docuseries!

[@idekman5427]

this is so well produced!

[@flobie1kenobi]

Is it just me, or does Clyde look like he should be directing a Jurassic Park movie at 8:16 ?

[@HenryLeslieGraham]

wait thats an ad...

[@hannahe3142]

You guys are so amazing! The first time I saw you was when you toured with Jarle Bernhoft and were his support act in cologne. I instantly fell in love with your music, I bought a cd and talked to Gracie for a minute and since then I basically listened to your music everyday since. Saw you this March again in cologne and it was the best show I’ve ever seen. You guys are unbelievably talented and so fun to listen to. Seeing the bts in this great documentary makes me admire your talents even more and makes me think „oh god please let them never have a burnout or a big fight“ or as Dawes sing „may all your favorite bands stay together“. That’s what I wish for haha. Love you, take care! 🫶

[@sherpachlo]

are y'all ever playing on your own or are you stuck with the Jonas Bros this tour?

[@lachlanC50]

IV never had my adrenaline and energy levels sky rocket from a documentary!! Keen for vol 2

[@1999Goose99]

This is honestly so sick!

[@LukeVanGeest]

This is amazing!

[@dkerlee]

love it, looking forward to more!

[@scud]

Aww man, so glad this came in my reco's because I've been digging the hell out of your stuff lately. Please, please find some way to come overseas and do a show or two in London!

[@mxelysrbt]

I'm so excited !!!

[@AguaLindaFarmWeddings]

Come to Tucson!
