Mark Lettieri - Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Spark and Echo)

[@andycormier2475]

Damn, that bass player is the friggin Rock of Gibraltar. Solid.

[@legalize.brokkoli]

Absolutely love his playing.

[@JamesVanCleaf]

Not only is he locked in, but that tone is crispy and crystal clear.

[@ralphmunn6689]

Wes is the Bes(t)! 😉

[@tonyleeglenn]

Brilliant arrangement. The pedal steel is just magical in this one.

[@mjlettieri]

Thank you! Milo Deering is one of the finest all-around string musicians on Earth.

[@tonyleeglenn]

Wish I could have caught your show in Raleigh last week. Life just got in the way. Going to keep an eye on your schedule. You're a super talent Mark. Keep up the great work.

[@aussie_philosopher8079]

I'm not much of a country person but I Love the sound of a lapsteel in rock/blues music

[@frankgreco]

Totally agree. I always enjoy Mark's playing, but the pedal steel was so good I wanted to cop those licks instead! :)

[@glennurquhart2989]

@@aussie_philosopher8079 David Gilmour anyone?

[@saucybaka4439]

That lap steel sound really butters my toast. Fantastic playing

[@Knart1983]

Bass-dude has got the groove! Mark as well of course.

[@Radeon311]

The bass player is grooving hard

[@coryframeable]

The bass and drums have a ridiculously killer groove going!

[@aussie_philosopher8079]

He's totally getting off on it . It's good fun

[@petroschoremis149]

Do you know the name of the bass player ???

[@tdmjfountain]

@@petroschoremis149 Wes Stephenson he plays for the funky knuckles.

[@nutmegchief]

Every time I revisit this video I'm blown away. How does this not have like a billion views? It's just magic!

[@ralphmunn6689]

In this room full of MONSTER players, Milo really nailed it! 🥰

[@jocro1029]

That change to the bridge pickup right in the middle of the bend at 4:38 was so smooth!

[@neadst]

1:53. That harmony.

[@anwyllonmusic]

Contrary motion is the way yo!

[@aussie_philosopher8079]

It's magnificent, I don't hear songs on the radio with great harmonies these days

[@scratchcrafter]

that lap steel is insane! love this version.

[@heliobluesrock]

Tottally agree, dude! ;)

[@gary4073]

That's a 'Pedal Steel Guitar'...

[@maxvoloshin_nefariousaquarius]

That polyrhythmic high hat is killer.

[@Shofukhan]

1:53 got chills for that harmony! ❤️

[@MrStuClark]

Well sometimes you have to hear someone else interpret a song you didn't think you liked to actually get it !! Love the introduction of the steel guitar to complete the picture for me.

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks Stu!

[@РениТомова]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this outstanding performance🧡

[@TheFirstGroover]

Road trip music. Can't get enough.

[@ryanhernandez6002]

I play steel guitar and violin so naturally this made me happy 😊

[@welcometobabbylon7783]

That's some brilliant drumming! Love the soft "push."

[@jacobtulak2090]

urg

[@101xaplax101]

cant stop listening to this........

[@jameyscott4188]

I love the original of this track... can listen to it endlessly without it ever getting stale. I'm not a fan of remakes but this is the best I've ever heard it done. That pedal steel... so great!!

[@ericgelders]

Carries the beautiful vibe and groove of the original song, yet sounds fresh and interesting. Quite brilliant IMHO.

[@AdamLeeGuitarist]

Such crazy beautiful playing! Love this! Replay! :)

[@Redoox8]

His new album is pure magic ! Check out Bob reynolds's guitar band ;)

[@RJ-lf8ex]

Dang. Four years late to the party, but love the crisp recording that Mark does. You can hear ALL of the instrumentation and NOTHING is overproduced. Beautiful compositions.

[@brettgroh1112]

Tears to my eyes...beautiful!

[@jameseichelberg2579]

I can't hear this enough. What a great take on an already great tune.

[@heliobluesrock]

Wish I can play the guitar with Mark's sofistication, but making it sing sweetly as that pedal steel! Damn, that guy is such a great player too! I got chills everytime I hear the "bend" at 4:10 and the soft sliding at 5:35! Honestly, I can't get tired of watching this video!

[@Campos1989]

beautiful, beautiful everything very beautiful to see and hear!!!! you are too much.... wow

[@maxfacts1889]

very good

[@turbo8481]

Can't ever get enough of this gem.

[@gr637]

My favourite song by my favourite guitarist, what a treat! Can’t wait to see you and your band live in England, Mark. Thank you again for your encouraging and inspiring email to me when I had a guitarist crisis, Mark. Things are much better and I am enjoying my guitar journey again. Kindest regards, Gaetano

[@multigwilty5154]

They had to fade this out because rumour has it, the outro jam felt so good that they're still going as we speak

[@nathoutaleternel1307]

I must Say i 'm in love with that version. 😏 🌺🌺🌺

[@SteveGracy]

Beautiful rendition, I had the honor of working with Milo for a year of so (i'm not in the same league by a long shot!!!) Love Milo and the rest of you guys.

[@davidjefferys3233]

Keeping up a steady mid tempo is a skill...bravo the drummer

[@paso193]

WTF!! What a brilliant rendering of this iconic pop song! And, who would have thought blending such a diverse, multilayered mix of instrumentation - so far from the original - would create this beautiful and glorious musical perfect storm! Whosoever idea it was to bring these superb talented heads together (which I assume had to be Mark) has shown some remarkable producing chops. Very well done, Lads!

[@SamBellGuitar]

this makes me so happy.

[@Alexfaxiu]

omg, the pedal steel

[@Billywagner22]

Sublime!

[@lindstradd]

Me siento afortunado de poder escuchar a estos monstruos y esta belleza de interpretacion!!!...GRANDES, todos y c/u de Uds !!!....

[@kennethchavarria5205]

Thai arrangement is amazing. One of my favorites videos!

[@cliftontorrence839]

Everybody! Simply FANTASTIC ! Copping a feel from down deep in the Pocket.

[@arisaig11]

Wonderful playing! A great song made even more enjoyable.

[@danielburridge8091]

Stunning arrangement. Absolutely gorgeous! This needs 1,000,000s of views

[@peterthomas5922]

Just wanted to add my voice to say that Milo Deering can play some pedal steel. He makes me remember why it can sound so cool.

[@FernandoMartinsCosta-y8p]

Top das galáxias!

[@creepycreaturesreviews]

klingt super, sehr einfühlsam.

[@matthammond3563]

Chills dude, this is spectacular!

[@heliobluesrock]

+Matt Hammond Here too, dude! ;)

[@stuartalexander2657]

OK, so here's the thing.........that was freakin' brilliant. Tighter than a debutante on prom night. Rhythm section to die for, pedal steel player who's off the charts......combined with superb guitar playing. Huge kudos from this ol' guitar slinger of 47+ years. Consider yourselves invited here and now to come join my ("closed") guitar group on Facebook, Guitar Players Group A-Z. Let's just say you'll be in VERY good company there (Rick Derringer, Rocky Athas, Rusty Burns before his untimely passing, Andy Tanas, Justin Johnson, Michael Angelo Batio, and most others you've never heard of but should. Superb job, gentlemen.......truly a superb job.

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

Ever wondered what bliss sounded like? Well, it's a lot like this!

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

This song has been deep in my TOP 50 LIFETIME since it came out in 85. This cover had me in tears (no pun intended) within seconds. Verklempt asf... What a gorgeous, joyous version...thank you, Mark and band!

[@SirJo55]

One of my favourite guitar player... great musical taste... thanks!

[@CamiloVelandia]

That bend at 3:36!!! Beaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful!!

[@orkuntahiraran]

i think that's not a bend, more like whammy pedal.

[@CamiloVelandia]

No, that's a bend. ;) Sounds to me like he switched to the bridge pickup... that natural harmonics of the drive and the hands give it that whammy-like harmonic.

[@orkuntahiraran]

Camilo Velandia see his hand mate, he used harmonics and slide. but not a bend :) u can see it in 3.37

[@CamiloVelandia]

Orkun Aran youre right! There's no bend. It still doesn't sound like a whammy to me. Now I gotta ask him!!!!!

[@orkuntahiraran]

Now i also think that's not a whammy.

[@maryanndavis8580]

My favorite 80s jam. I love this Tears for Fears song. Well played!!

[@No_no83]

Three of my favourite versions. The original one of course, then the one with Lighthouse family. And this masterpiece playing here. EXCEPTIONAL with a great bass line

[@mitobadak1255]

Always my favourite guitar you are 👍👍

[@e2jw]

So amazingly detailed, crisp, smooth - like a fast drive on the open road with the top down, sun in my face and with wind in my hair - and the jams cranked! Superb

[@gyorgymodroczky4793]

AMAZING :)!

[@michaelanthony9068]

Gorgeous. Of course I liked and subscribed !

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

Great playing and idea to cover this, works really well. That pedal steel is killer too, nice one chaps!
