[@richmcgowan412]

The amazing thing about this performance is that keyboardist Brett Williams, drummer Marcus Gilmore and bass player and music director Mike Elizondo were not familiar with this song, they picked it up as they went! They added amazing improvisations.

[@randalbladel2817]

The musical conversations going on in the band are wonderful to hear.

[@TheJunehog]

These "Live From Here" videos come across my feed, and I'm filled with mourning that LFH died from COVID. Such fabulous sets.

They took the song, and just wrung every last drop of soul from it. And the audience a cappella part was maybe the highlight. Live music gets no better, and there's not much better in life than live music, so...

The look on Aoife's face when they crash back in after the audience sings is everyone.

[@45067daddymac]

Never thought I would ever hear a drum solo in the middle of a bluegrass song! 😄

[@dutchpridder2706]

Actually the song Rain and Snow is decades older than bluegrass. :-)

[@deadbass36]

If you wanna be a real purist about it, you probably shouldn't even hear a drum in a bluegrass song.

[@whitporter5278]

...and his cymbal went awol in the middle of it...damn, hate it when that happens (live)!

[@resilientrecoveryministries]

And WHAT A SOLO! Perfect control.

[@BobSiefken]

This is the version of this song I first ever heard. Then the Dead's. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4qoZ5KAnbSGaJI

[@conancat]

A drum solo that takes it steady, slow and subtle. I love this so much

[@jeffgaumond4250]

Acoustic music simply doesn't get any better than this. Aoife is such a treasure.

[@davidatkinson2262]

This is superb. My daughter recently commented that music is good for the soul, live music invigorates it. This is a perfect embodiment of that sentiment.

Chris Thile is pushing the song forward - everybody gets their "say" - lovely evening in Town Hall, Ellen

[@linnygjones]

I don't think I have ever heard anything so beautiful and so perfectly directed. All the hairs on my arms were straight up. Just amazing.

[@EdStrudas]

The patience. The dynamics. The chops. Oh man.

[@goju08]

Goodness...Chris can command a band and highlight every musician he has around him. He is awesome.

[@andyroth619]

Kudos to the guy in the audience who screamed out this request- your clever spontaneity has been rewarded with this sonic monument of enduring beauty :) ❤

[@estherleedavenport5273]

Is that the story? This was spontaneous response to audience request? It's the best single song I've ever heard; I'm 80 years old. The energy and communication are like none other

[@andyroth619]

@@estherleedavenport5273 yes, Esther Lee- I was there in the live audience that night, and much to Chris's delight, someone shouted out this request spontaneously, in the moment. Chris replied something along the lines of "well, someone's been thinkin'!" and proceeded to coordinate the band in preparation of playing this song in this style. The only word that comes to my mind for what happens at the Town Hall is: magic.

[@andyroth619]

I should also add the relevance of the request for context: the unofficial "theme" of that show's evening was "weather," so obviously this impromptu suggestion was highly apropos.

[@carlosm.devasconcelllos3939]

[@allanbriggs807]

What a great cover of this song. The Grateful Dead would be grateful. They wouls appreciate this.

[@allanbriggs807]

Sorry "would"

[@empiremonkey]

Damn, Chris is singing like a champ nowadays. I love this song. Makes me so homesick for the good ol' days in the Blue Ridge of my youth. Love from Bangkok.

[@matthias.hess1]

Laughed at the cymbal stand failure at 3:18 ! Marcus was unfazed.

[@tommycate3788]

Man. Drums don’t usually move me to tears. But that was perfect. What great musicianship from everyone. Deep, deep respect...

[@cathannah7860]

This just kept getting more beautiful. Even we (the audience) didn't drop our parts. Magical stuff...

[@josephkarl2061]

[@JochenVogel]

Thank You Chris Thile and team for some of the most beautiful music that has ever brightened my days. You did a wonderful job and will be missed sadly.

It is moments like these that show why LFH will produce pure musical brilliance. Take a classic song, add audience sing-a-long, an improvisational jam, along with Aoife's Crooked Still band mates, then enjoy the listening bliss they create. Love the dual fiddling (goosebumps).

[@christianharper9007]

We're all so sad that this amazing show is drawing to a close. Thank you for all the many amazing musical performances and collaborations over these last few years!

Please Bring This Show Back!

[@rtgonzo]

Being in the house at Town Hall that night was simply magical. Sitting in the 5th row singing low harmony when Chris turns and calls the audience; like the house was just another member of the band. That is a thrilling, you are not going to forget This any time soon, maybe ever, kind of moment.

[@andyroth619]

Yes!!! It is magic!!!!

[@jondoe888i]

Aoife's voice and harmonizing go straight to my soul! And a great job by all.

[@eecornetta]

Twas a serendipitous morphing of their two bands - Chris's AND Aoife's, on a perfectly ancient song, & Chris knows just how to wring every drop of fun out of a LFH encore including audience participation in a soulful a cappella slow ending. but does he stop there? No! 2, 3, 4 jumps back into a righteously rollicking rocking instrumental finale, O! M! G! Long live Live From Here

[@DownToFunkAU]

A colossal tragedy that they took this off the air. Hoping for better days ahead where Chris and the band can bring their sonic wizardry back into our lives.

[@highlonesome-coloradobluegrass]

Yes it is! May be they will bring it back this year.

The Democratic expression of despair in this roots-driven tune offers everyone a chance to open our emotional and intellectual pores. Bravo.

[@fredhurst2528]

You had me at Aoife, everything else was just delicious gravy poured all over with a coffee and Bailey's for afters.

[@HandlesAreDumb_111]

/agree She got my attention when I found Crooked Still but she keeps showing me things... like Yo-Yo Ma... he's been in my awareness for years but it was with Aoife and Chris on 'Here and Heaven' that I finally /got/ it...

[@willbigelow472]

@Fred- the Grateful Dead got me to love this song originally. You too?

[@59markr]

GENIUS - right before our very eyes people.

[@WillyKellyMusic]

I gave you a “thumbs up” but that doesn’t quite say enough! Beautiful work!…

[@BlickInStead]

What musicianship, all around. And those two just winging those harmonies!... And Thile, of course, is supernatural.

[@rdehn5799]

wow, Chris, pure tao... poetry in motion, so this is what a fully actualized human looks like....thanks

[@LibbyRal]

Listening to this is wonderful, but watching it is a magical experience.

[@LibbyRal]

I love watching musicians interact. Nothing beats making music with a group, rather than alone, either.

[@HarleyKing001]

What a fantastic performance. Tasteful solos from each, and that morphing from bluegrass lament to a sort of slow jam to full on bluegrass, then to an almost soul/power ballad. Then the audience singing under Chris's direction. Wonderful.

[@billm2484]

Absolute Trust and Precision. Impeccability. Chris, Knowing that the vocals were weak - but the instrumentation Perfection - and integrated both into the end by forcing correction. Ended abruptly, but appropriately, on an instrumental masterpiece. Be easier to just practice the singing at least a Few times first be easier... but, instrumentally? Profound. And Loved the wrapup.
