Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground/Superstition (Lawrence Live Cover feat. Antwaun Stanley)

On a cold February weeknight at The Crofoot in Pontiac, Michigan, Lawrence was joined on stage by the funky duck himself, Antwaun "The Mantwaun" Stanley (known for his work with Vulfpeck), to do an impromptu Stevie Wonder medley (Higher Ground/Superstition).
Antwaun's performance was so mind-blowing that all the members of Lawrence vowed to destroy the video and never speak of it again, for fear that they would succomb to ego death. But after months of attempting to brag about the collab, only to be met with "vids or it didn't happen" rebuttals, Lawrence decided it was time.
Advance tickets to see this combo appear on the same stage again at Central Park Summer Stage on 9.7.16 here: fal.cn/2O.s

The Vulf Lawrence collaboration I have craved since I discovered Lawrence three days ago.

[@Zack_Taylor]

I discovered them years ago and didn't know this existed until now when youtube recommended it lol. I've seen a ton of their stuff.

[@cameronhampton1315]

Same!!

[@philbertphettbart7930]

It's been three hours for me, but yeah, same...

[@AceTrainerJack]

Came here to say this.

[@adm_ezri]

this has been quite the rabbit hole this evening - and of course it all comes back to vulf. there is no escape, jack is coming like it or not

[@Garblegox]

"Oh man, we got some powerhouses up here" Says the man who went on to sing up and down the stage at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

[@quickspooked9298]

What a killer band. Nothing beats the spontaneity of a song you haven't rehearsed much. You can tell by Clyde's cues to the band that they're just going with the flow. Great

[@kingat95]

Any chance of further collaboration in the future? Some Lawrence-Vulfpeck work would definitely blow the pants off your guys' fanbases ;)

[@michaelnarainsamy3670]

Drummer's playing and tone is what I want to achieve in life.

[@FeelMyMagic]

This combination is a fire hazard for all venues.

[@mattstraub]

I can’t tell whats slaps harder... this track or Clyde physically slapping those keys. Damn good music right here.

[@michellemathew8782]

CLYDE'S KEYBOARD SOLO OMG.are you even human?? flawless.

[@jeffbrown4382]

Sweet Mary in the morning sunshine, that was kick ass! Finding Lawrence feels like I won the musical lottery!

[@McCallEdwards]

I swear from Clyde's chops on the keys he grew up in a black church.

[@golden50snomad52]

THANK YOU!!!! I've BEEN saying this!! Everybody's been tip toeing around... were they adopted??? Because they're an unnatural force of raw blues, southern gospel, jazz, rhythm & blues sangin white kids!!!! They're a musical tornado!!!

[@FeelMyMagic]

5:40 Antwaun's face while Clyde rips those keys to pieces

[@MstrOfFails33]

0:32 also Clyde's reaction hearing Antwaun's intro

[@scottfelsted3203]

It is so great to see real musicianship again. I'm a old white guy and never get tired of hearing and dancing to this music. Great music is timeless. Thanks for bringing us together in so many different ways through music. Bravo.

[@michaelnarainsamy3670]

The change from the 4 to the floor groove at 3:28 is just so good! Very tight from drum,bass and sax!

[@lizzieb9382]

Okay..but Clyde's keyboarding skills though.. Come on man! That's insane!

[@An_Arbitrary_Miscellany]

And thus the link to Vulfpeck is established... holy fucking hellfire I was excited to see this. Found Vufpeck, found Antwuan, found Melt, found Lawrence... and now the circle is complete. Musical nir-fucking-vana.

[@ljphoenix4341]

Clive and Antwaun together are an absolute vibe!!

[@keadonyelich3159]

I've yet to see something from Lawrence that I haven't absolutely loved. Have to keep coming back to watch this and the rest of their videos.

[@ChukieJD]

Having discovered Lawrence today...I am not surprised to see them collaborating with Vulf alums like Antwaun...Amazing.

[@dylanmahoney504]

Damnnnn Antwuan is a ledgend but Clyde blew me away on the keys...

[@kristenmarie3668]

I am so grateful to have found Lawrence! I hope they never stop jamming...🙌🏻 They got straight-UP SOUL!!!!

[@ljphoenix4341]

So cool how everyone on stage is rocking out and having a fun time, so cool.

[@lukeheidmusic]

They just played in Detroit and Antwuan showed up on stage. It made my week.

[@bielsabas4407]

someone this good should have a grammy its mind blowing I don't think I've ever heard Antwaun go off pitch he makes it look effortless

[@brianturow5986]

What the hell did i just stumble upon. Awesome collab

[@davewroberts]

Antwaun is always so effortlessly good

[@ZeranZeran]

That call and response between you 2 was beautiful AMAZING voice, and amazing synth player.

[@KlonkyDonkers]

How much I'd pay to see Clyde and Woody Goss vibe off each other on two pianos.

[@danw1955]

Badass musicianship at it's finest! That rendition of Superstition was 🔥🔥. I'm sure ol' Stevie would approve!😁👍

[@milowhittle5579]

Antwaun and Clyde effortlessly slowing the tempo to change songs at 2:48 is just something else 🤯

[@crugmeer5432]

This might just be my new favorite thing in the world!

[@ljphoenix4341]

The Funk in this video is absolute perfection!

[@nurdiemitdenpinken]

~ Antwauns style highly reminds me of Al Jarreau Very nice 🔥

[@chadabranches9747]

Super crazy vocalist n keys n band n all ....m grooving n blown ....full on talent orgy

[@ericdasilva7073]

Just such incredible energy between all of them! Wonderful cover!!

[@Anna.hilbert.official]

OH MY GOD!!! This is a masterpiece of a live-performance!!! Would have freaked out if I were in the crowd!! :D

[@notfabio9858]

Stevie wonder…+antwuan Stanley?? Title alone is beautiful. And this is an awesome introduction to Lawrence

[@stefanbeefan1519]

im convinced that jack stratton and lawrence clyde are the same person

[@calewis55]

OMG. SO much fun!!!!! Thank you Antwaun! Thank you Lawrence - I am dancing in my chair as I work tonight!!!

[@mitchellharris]

[@vaiagile]

Best cover ever heard: stunning!!

[@ace88bf]

[@alisoncole3211]

[@roach5668]

You are the best band at the Moment! ❤️

[@eddierosenberg3018]

Absolutely amazing. BIG FAN

[@local-teen]

Holy shit. That was great.

[@VERODIVA14]

I'm in love with this guy !!!!!!

[@ZeranZeran]

GOD DAMN this is amazing

[@ljphoenix4341]

If this video doesn't represent the definition of funk, I don't know what would! Surch an amazing video!

[@mathewmorris]

I just had the best dance session of my life. Thank you so much!!!! :) :): ):)

[@BartekJC]

Clydes piano intro for Superstition was awesome

[@mrpenguinize6000]

Just... wow. No words needed. Just wow

[@FeelMyMagic]

Not enough credit to their drummer. His groove and fills are A-1

[@MrWCL3]

SAM ASKIN

[@benjaminbachman]

Ummmm yes!!!!

[@fileundergood2955]

Agreed

[@ljphoenix4341]

This video deserves so many more views than it has, it's so underrated!!

[@deadlybananas]

that was DOPE

[@lucretiaallen9184]

Explosive!

[@mofourth4thchild75]

Great covers!

[@IslandDigital]

Sign THAT GUY UP!! Haha. Great job !!!

[@stevelewis5325]

Love it

[@Ste.Germaine]

Unbelievably goood. ❤

[@geedavia1785]

Goddam-Goddam... What a collaboration. Lawrence can play da shit out the keyboards.

[@MikeOxhard123]

So good

[@leopoldleoleo]

Clyde you're a BOSS

[@KevyGLevy]

That's the magic!

[@daltonosborne4236]

Every piano’s dream is to be played by Clyde.

[@oliolive4355]

Nah every piano FEARS Clyde playing them. Because he slaps hard

[@Shteeeeeeeve]

bumpin!

[@livier3970]

Insane

[@Sohnjcofield]

This is disgustingly good

[@sarighasenfeld8228]

Antwan sounds like what I want to sound like when I'm singing in the shower

[@llisboafelipe]

pls come to brasil

[@sheldonbanks5527]

Wait what wow 😳 lit lit lit

[@An_Arbitrary_Miscellany]

I love this, but damn I wish Grace had a bigger presence. Felt like Antwaun took over and didn't really let her in. Grace and Antwaun together would've been amazing...

[@Veectory]

Yes

[@NotDingse]

In all fairness she prolly sang the rest of the concert

[@abbasdaif3490]

Nah Antwaun was pretty LOW VOLUME

[@SeanVito]

I think she held back. Nothing is stopping her. She could've sang just as strong alongside. Not like they'd stop playing if she butt in. From what I've seen from the band, anyways.

[@dredawg78]

Wowww

[@fileundergood2955]

8 min of positive energy

[@superroxmysox]

YESSSSSSSSSS

[@danielbaker6597]

Yoooooooo!!

[@sergiomartinez5946]

I'm here at work just casually listening, didn't realize it was Antwaun until he started singing lol

[@joshuadeakin8444]

Fuegooooooooooooooooo

[@Mikkelsapiens]

5:00 That fucking solo!

[@nashantastanley3261]

Wow

[@39josh05]

judging by how this was posted 3 months ago I don't know how much you check comments I make cds for a living recently saw your cd on a shelf in production thought it was pretty cool and thought I'd let you know

[@georgeadams6254]

why are there not more views on this.....?????

[@TheoMalls]

holy moly

[@subwayeatfrisch]

So fucking funky

[@carlosflorestoledo1418]

Apenas comenzó a cantar dije "ufff"

[@nicholasmoore7659]

How am I just discovering this today?

[@lennycool137]

keyboard solo is sick

[@jasminehawkins3891]

It's antwuan!

[@bensteinberg2154]

5:55 Minnie the Moocher??? Antwaun you sneaky sneaky guy

[@brianalvarez3252]

That speech pathologist sings really good

[@Mikkelsapiens]

why isn't this on spotify?

[@bendavies8129]

@5:25 - please tell me that's what I thought it was... sounds like you guys are hip to the SF Jazz Collective version?

[@willsmith017]

oh ma god antwaun with lawrence

[@Tward2929]

The band is tighter than a nun

[@cfaw21]

Lawrence Vulfpeck?? I didn’t know this existed why

[@tomiwaaina5499]

Did they give Gracie a fake mic or something? I can see her singing but I can't hear it lol

[@dylyncady8615]

any idea what the drumkit their drummer is using? I've been scouring Lawrence videos but haven't been able to find a clear symbol, or any indications to assist me.

[@menriquez89]

Some small custom company. You can see the bass drum has a seam in the middle. It looks like it’s a nesting kit.

[@riderinzedark]

🤩

[@nelsonlugo45]

They shoulda let Gracie tear it up just a little!

[@chasezwartz8796]

Clyde's sister is low key fine as hell

[@jakehoff52]

Justsomedude that shit’s high key

[@davidclonts9502]

Wait is she just called clyde’s sister now?

[@liseklerekoper2441]

Her name is Gracie & just look at how front and center she is in their music today with the voice that is an incredible combination of acoustic, church music w/ out the religion piece, & some Aretha , which is just magic. This was an amazing performance w/ beautiful collaboration, & shone bright individually as well. Fire!!!🔥🫶.

[@WAMIV]

I’m dropping down the Lawrence hole 😂
