Miles in Transit: The Concert

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

You know you've made it when your KZbin channel has a whole concert about your channel's banger music, even better when the audience actually takes transit to attend. Y'all cooked, and we are unworthy of this Michelin-star restaurant meal. Need to do another concert in NYC! The Northeast Corridor Band, I love that name, it really does have a nice ring to it! You and Jackson have such great taste in music, as shown with the influences on the music you create. This concert is yet another example of this amazing channel and its community. The music by you and Jackson are a special part of the channel and plays a part in making your channel stand out. But a channel is nothing without its community. You dive right into the history and cultures of every place you visit through the transit systems. And through your passion for transit, you get to meet so many great people and find people with common interests like you did through meeting Jackson and creating music that helps a channel's storytelling. By learning about each system, seeing their strengths, seeing systems change lives, advocating for better systems, actually giving places a chance and thoroughly explore each one, moments like this shows that transit truly connects us all together! I have met so many cool people through your Discord server. It is thanks to your channel that I learn about other creators, like your friend Classy Whale, who I've since met in person and have worked together on collabs! It's one big Miles in Transit cinematic universe. You have inspired so many. Your channel has helped me speak up and become a better advocate, become more comfortable stating my opinions, and getting involved. Especially as someone who's not only Latino, is autistic, and has a physical disability, but whose single mother doesn't drive because of vision problems, and so I've grown up riding transit and living in walkable places (mostly until I moved to Long Island in 2014). I want to be the voice for those who feel like they don't have one. I was an election poll worker for this election as a big step in getting involved, yes it was a long day, but it was a great learning experience. And I've promoted Fulop 2025's campaign for NJ governor since I used to live in Jersey City (and hope to move back). When I was in JC, in middle school, for a joint activities trip, I was picked from my group to pretend to be a city council member during a trip to City Hall. I thought I was good at it, despite not being that at public speaking, little did I know I was always meant to be an advocate for sustainable communities and transit. It is an honor to be a part of this community, to be known as the "Now that's a fun fact" long comment guy. My goal when I type those comments is to make the comments section and in turn KZbin and our communities a better place through one educational comment at a time. I believe that knowledge is power. There is nothing wrong with learning something new in a comments section. Yes my comments are long, but that’s because I’m passionate for history, and history is very important because it can really help explain a lot when it comes to why transit systems are the way they are, why conflicts happen, why certain places pop up, etc. And we become better advocates by learning from each other

Thanks so much for the kind words, Avery! I always look forward to your comments - I'm so glad you've found so many friends through this community!

I can’t quite express what this channel means to me. The sense of wonder, joy and freedom to foam over whatever you wish to foam on means so much to me. I’ve never ever seen this sense of community, friendship, caring, and inspiration on any other channel. It brings hope to so many.

[@MilesinTransit]

Thanks so much, that really means a lot!

[@ClassyWhale]

So proud of how far your channel has come, Miles! This was a delight to watch while unloading Thanksgiving leftovers 😂

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

If it wasn't for this channel, I wouldn't have learned about wonderful creators like you, friend! Miles's edutainment has inspired so many of us like you, and it doesn't take long to see why his channel is so popular. It's great to see the transit movement gain so much ground

[@MilesinTransit]

Thanks so much, guys!

[@rachelquist439]

Public transit hasn’t had theme music this good since the 1949 classic Charlie on the M.T.A!

[@RudeMyDude]

I didn't know this channel had a transit oriented band too! Absolutely nuts, good stuff

[@MilesinTransit]

Thanks!

[@Mpugs]

Too bad there is no Miles and Jackson eating in diners song here

[@leonb2637]

I am a 70 year old guy but still young about music and your traveling/transit adventures I enjoyed this show, it is sad there is so little live, local band music, with such good musicians. Young adults like you and your friends should be encouraged to have such fun.

[@MilesinTransit]

Thank you so much!

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

The beacon of light, beacon of hope has truly gifted us with this one. The ultimate playlist to listen to while riding transit. Worcester, Massachusetts is lucky to have its own Miles in Transit song. Manta should've paid you a million dollars after you created such a banger of a song for it. Music is a unifier, and with the amount of people attending this concert, it speaks for itself just how iconic music created by this dynamic duo have helped lead to an incredible channel and community. Thank you Miles, Jackson, the band, and for everyone who filmed! Y'all should collab with our all-female Moranbong Band, it would be an incredible opportunity for you two to not only try out Pyongyang's amazing transit with its Tatra trams, 1940s Zurich tram on the Kumsusan line, and trams made in-house, trolleybuses, and the beautiful Pyongyang Metro, but also attend an iconic DPRK concert.

[@Molejules]

Happy to see this concert in person (and here on KZbin), hope you enjoyed editing from 7 cameras in the dark!

[@JacksonBetz]

Thanks for all the filming you did Jules, that was integral to the final product! (And thanks for all the close-ups of me muahaha) Next we gotta do one in Boston!!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

@@JacksonBetz Hopefully you do one in NYC or Jersey City too!! Thank you Miles, Jackson, and Jules for filming!

[@Molejules]

@@JacksonBetz I'll think of a better way to end the video for that one...

[@MilesinTransit]

Your footage was fantastic, Jules!!

[@tomsilver]

⁠Sounds like you need to do a whole Northeast Corridor tour at this point. I would 100% come to see you guys in Boston

[@sceneinoregon750]

Saw them perform Diner Factory in '83 at Jones Beach, if anything they've gotten better since then

[@cheesebuger13]

I worked at that venue for a few years.

[@BusDriverLife]

Nobody invited me to play drums??!!! Come on..how cool would it be to have a transit bus driver who also drums on stage!! Anyway..good stuff!! 😎

This show was an absolute hoot!! Happy that y'all could use some of my footage and can't wait for the next one!!!

[@MilesinTransit]

Your footage was fantastic, thanks so much for helping to capture this!

[@52_Pickup]

Miles, whether you consider yourself or not to be one, in my heart you are a true musician and this is not just a rite of passage, but a true sign you've made it. This whole set was so much fun to watch and could only have been beat by being there in person, here is hoping this isn't the last of live music performances from all of you! Thank you for doing this concert and sharing it with all of us fans.

[@MilesinTransit]

Thank you so much!!

Looking forward to the US tour!! Everyone here on the west coast is ready to welcome you guys with open arms

[@EpicUnderscoreJdog]

WOW! This is so cool. I was expecting funny songs about transit, and I received this... but also I LOVE the music and songwriting going on here. Its so well written and arranged, the changes and riffs are KILLER. And who does vocal harmonies like that anymore?! Wish I could write songs like that. Worcester, Massachusetts?? Trenton Shuffle??? I want to learn these and play them with my own band!! These are legitimately fantastic songs. To miles and jackson and crew and the whole band and everyone else that shows up on this channel: Thank you so much for putting this stuff out here. Everything on this channel clearly takes a lot of work, that nobody is requiring you to do, but despite that, you get on here and post it all anyway. It's clearly a labour of love, and theres something so cool about the fact that all this exists for strangers like me. I'm also a fan of nerding out about transit and rocking out with my friends... so I can't help but smile with the widest grin ever as I watch this. Thanks for letting us into your incredible little world.

[@MilesinTransit]

Thank you so much, this comment made me smile! I have to give all credit to Jackson as the songwriting genius!

A legend. At this point you've come so far from a leak on an MBTA Bus. You are literally performing now. Your transit career is growing and growing, and I hope you really become known around the world, its possible. As a person who has met you before, best wishes. I could literally listen to this for 2 hours and not get bored. Your transit blogs may sometimes be helpful, but always entertaining. Good luck.

Agreed! I will say, instead of just calling the girls Newport News, it was a missed opportunity to call them the duo of Norfolk and Newport News since they're across from each other.

[@brentbraniff]

I am such a big fan of Miles in Transit...Just because of the vibe and how much joy you guys have for what you do. And this just made me a little bit bigger of a fan. What a great band!! Do a tour....come to the Midwest (I'd say come to North Dakota where I'm at but what the heck, I'd travel to see you). Thanks also for Dancing in the Moonlight! Favorite song of mine from my youth. Your originals are, of course, amazing!!! I can't wait for you guys to release this stuff!! Please take this as a huge compliment but musically, you guy have that perfect mix of jazz and rock and pop...a lot like bands like Steely Dan, Joe Jackson or, even in some ways, The Doors. Anyway, this was a huge treat.....DO MORE!!!!
