Plot twist none of these guys are from berklee

[@davidjeffrey5902]

Cory’s solo on Skate U bro. I swear to god this was the best era of Snarky

[@twokidsmovies]

Man....the thing I love about this, is that Michael League calls when to transition based on the ques given my the soloing artist, they will breifly look at him and Michael immediately yells, "hey!" and they either stop or transition. But whats amazing about this is that even when Michael doesnt need to pay attention to look for the que, he stares intently at whoever is soloing the whole time, loving every second of it, reacting to fills, and sharing his amazement. I absoluetly love this dedication and artistic nature of Michael. I think it is amazing to watch everyones facial expression through this whole thing, you can see how much they are communicating in ways the audiance may never see. Truly amazing.

that synergy is insane.

I've said it and I'll say it again, Nate Werth is a monster!

[@daviddubinsky868]

Hey I was at that show!! Sat in the 2nd row with my teenage son. What a great time! If you listen carefully, you can hear me. I'm the one who can't clap-in-time.

[@carlosclaptrix]

Yes, you were wrong in this 17/8th part! :)

[@Chyuuch]

percussionist so fuckking fire! That man going crazy back there!

Man, I remember when dozens of people could be in the same room. Good times.

Facts

[@ernestmorellsr7929]

Yeah, how's about a whole stadium full plus a few little green men.

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

Meh. They never shut up so you can hear the music properly.

[@GaudyGabriev]

I was gonna go see them live exactly a week after the confinement hit. God dammit.

[@danashane]

And a sing-a-long! Personally, an hour and a half of this band would be too much. They are fantastic, no doubt - but it becomes tedious after a while.

[@davecorbin5088]

How is it that these guys aren't hugely famous? All very talented and cohesive as a group. The egos all very much subdued. They deserve a much wider audience.

[@UthacalthingTymbrimi]

18:12 Cory throws in some Super Mario just for fun... man that guy's a genius.

[@tombarron2468]

Never, ever, get tired of listening to these guys. Wow - what talent. They are part of our musical future/heritage. Thank you Snarky Puppy!

[@McNair-eo8ee]

Couldn’t have said it better!

[@ericessama7163]

avant-garde music 😊

[@michaelbrown2079]

I'm an alum. The chord changes have changed. Blessed are the young studs.

[@glencruciani]

Cory's got so many notes he has to bring them in a backpack

[@anyabongo1331]

I love how they get out of the way while another band member is being featured...who knew that 6 years later we'd be craving for the day we can get back together in the same space and make music.

[@jcrawford068]

I think Bent Nails is the most difficult tune they play. Jesus! And I love how they changed the second section to a Quarter Master type feel. "We get bored easily, so we constantly change it up"

[@sichard.rimmons]

MY GOD! It's such an incredibly beautiful thing to watch Michael navigate the band through all the moving parts of the songs. This band is second to none

[@andrewwray8778]

Agreed. Such awesome leadership and communication!

[@slowhand5922]

I can't remember to have ever seen a more passionate and livelier bassist like him who is so recognizeable in it all the time. It's a pleasure to watch this, particular as a musician who I am myself.

[@OhGodWhatIsThisAah]

Mike just feelin' it during the drums solo on What About Me? is life.

I'm just strolling through KZbin and see this vid in my suggestions and HOLY FUCK!!! Who are these guys??? They kick everyone's ass with one kick! Jesus!

[@barbarasullivan9618]

Just now discovering these guys; my world's brighter today!

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

I'm where you were a year ago...just found the band about 2 months ago. And, yes, they certainly have made my world brighter, and we've only just left the station. ❤

[@konradr9323]

Listen to Snarky Puppy at mornig and now You know this is will be great day. Stay safe all of You (great music fans).

[@blohot]

The only crowd who can clap perfectly.

[@pectenmaximus231]

I love that SP hasn't shied away from 2 or even 3 guitarists. So satisfying.

[@samb3435]

Wow! I've never seen Michael League do this much comping before!! I love it!!

[@kevinkiso4579]

M***er*uck*r. I wasn't expecting those guitarists to cut loose like that at all. I am quite floored...

[@edkerry87]

reminds me of some of the Acid Jazz bands that would frequent the NYC clubs in the early 90's

[@CarlHamilton1914]

8 minutes in and my face is already melted 🤯

[@creativical]

It's always incredible to see them working together. As if they'd all have one big coherent brain playing all the songs. There are countless moments in which one of them stands out particularly to show how talented they really are!

[@mikeschneider5925]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏

[@loveistheonlything3626]

That "interlude" during Shofukan was unbelievable!

[@carlosclaptrix]

No head banging? "Do you feel alright?" shouts? No growls? No star behavior? - JUST MUSIC - I LOVE IT! 💚💚💚

[@leojt9423]

Oh shit!!!! This was the first live snarky performance I ever saw!

[@edleland483]

Regret that these guys were not on my radar at the time and I missed this... what a great band!

[@jazzfusioner9840]

Justin's blow on Shofukan.......top man....

[@joaosimoes5508]

fucking unbelievable! and the support from the other guys, namely CH. what an ambience.

[@fawltytenor]

There’s an audio version of this show up at Archive dot org in the live music archive. Great to SEE the band, this was a great concert! Tia Fuller just killed that. Fantastic.

[@mkdevo]

Yep, that's my recording as well.

[@fawltytenor]

@@mkdevo wow, thank you so very much for capturing that! I like some of the earlier live stuff too like the first shows with Shaun Martin in 2009.

[@mkdevo]

Check out the Berklee show on there from March 2013 too. Possibly my favorite recording I've ever made. Cheers!

[@knoxvl]

Man, this is gold!! Thanks for sharing

[@iousdeeva]

you know you're playing to a crowd of musicians when they get that two part harmony to Shofukan straight away lol

[@gustafsone]

Well, they are playing at Berklee, after all ;)

[@jamishakeys4241]

Thanks for posting this! I've been needing to hear Cory's solo on Skate U forever. Great Quality also.

[@Dequervain]

Even though Bob start playing Skate U a little early, everyone turns around and catch up with him immediately. Nothing fuzzy reaction but funny smile smoothly, naturally. They just go up there and enjoy with everyone. Admire each other playing, improvising. Not knowing what amazing things will happen. Very high chemistry and talented group of musicians. Love it.

[@bovoluca82]

This is not only music: this is soul expressed with audio!

[@evanstevens8021]

they have such great energy, love it!

[@suzannel1226]

This was the first time I'd seen them live! Thank you for posting and letting me relive such a beautiful memory!

[@royautosymusica]

14:14 Faaaaack those toms!!! The way they allow each player to have their "focus point time" its amazing.

[@RealBesty]

One camera and decent sound - always good enough for me! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@LaMichail]

So much talented musicians!!!

[@leovilla1857]

59:50 I like how Bob Lanzetti sort of went for this reverb soundscapes sort of vibe for most of the solo then sort of waits. As a guitarist I grew worried that he might have gotten lost in what he was doing and was going to have to awkwardly build things back up. But then it all kicks back in and he continues soloing hard, like it was all part of the plan. I like Mark Lettieri's solos a lot, but this was also really cool.

[@johnbalkcom6]

This is absolutely crazy !!!

[@xaviervermande933]

This really grooves u up!!!! Super live! Thx for posting . We ´r so hungry ,keep on feeding us .This must be my Heaven!

[@andiwiriantono]

Remembering me when i was playing in Berklee Performance Center,Miss That Stage..

[@ethericlimerick2992]

There is no such thing as a bad Snarky Puppy performance. This was an awesome show and Cory's solo on Lingus totally snapped my synapses! Just sayin'...

[@chaussebenjamin]

50:31 When "The lick" is life!

[@TicTacTowmusic]

This is one of the best performances I have ever seen snarky puppy play live on KZbin . Especially in this setting and the choice of songs from old to young, fantastic work! Amazing that this took place way back in 2014, just before I first saw them live in London

[@sofiantandjaoui9951]

merci a vous pour le feeling

[@fortadelis]

Brutal as always. Bunch of geniuses with the proper spotlight.

[@Sngln_hyeon]

I've been really wanna Cory's Solo on Skate U! Here it is!

[@eltigrecervantesjuliocerva7023]

What amazing band 💯🎶👍❤️❤️

[@slowhand5922]

For me the most exciting band I discovered within the last few years. First time I heared of them two years ago. and I was thrilled instantly. I don't know not so much of them yet but my favorite pieces are "Lingus" and "Sleeper". I have to dig through their oevre the next future. Has anybody noticed the teddybear infront of Michael? Surely a talisman from his kid(s)...? Cute!

[@jazzfusioner9840]

The "element of surprise" Live....Zawinul & Syndicate had it too......those moments when you were hit with " what was that that just came at us"......

[@Guzco1]

Excellent!

[@loving-world]

It's all the best - I particularly love the guitar solo of Mark Lettieri in Sput's song Bent Nails

[@David-iv6je]

Help me out here: are Van Halen shirts cool? Or is that jazz irony?

[@noahschenck6715]

@@David-iv6je I know a lot of Mark's inspiration comes from classic rock, and he has quite a few shirts of those bands.

[@David-iv6je]

@@noahschenck6715 Interesting! Not sure I'd go with Van Halen. Maybe Yes and Steve Howe. But a guy's inspiration is a guy's inspiration. I was just wondering if it was ironic, since VH is the least likely jazzman's shirt to see.

[@calembur]

Cory Henry arrived late, couldn't even get his backpack off.

[@shrimptunes3463]

Then ducks out to drain a vein! 😂🎶🦐

[@slowhand5922]

I also asked me why he has a backpack. Some surprise for the show later?

[@gileshunter448]

Magnificent!!!!!!!

[@harrisonekpobimi4764]

Skate U - my favourite all time piece

[@estabandesousa9017]

@mk Devo I hope you don't have plans to remove this vid. It's superb quality and arguably the best I've seen of Snarky live.

[@carlosclaptrix]

Big soul Cory Henry is truly playing when he's playing!

[@ImChrisLuke]

When you have to be the guy to tell Cory “just one more” during Lingus 😂

[@FLPXIZ]

Wow!... you keep this on secret for 4 years?! hahahah... amazing shot and sound !

[@mkdevo]

Haha, yeah gotta do that sometimes. I usually make sure they're worth the wait when I do though!

[@goodguy2627]

The teddy bear on the pedalboard says it all 😀

grandi !!!!!!!!!!!!! siete bravissimi !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fernandoarias4846]

Maravilloso!!!!

[@ericamccool345]

Corey must have been running late to get to the gig because at the beginning of the first tune he's playing with his jacket AND backpack still on, LOL. No matter... he (and the rest of the group) always kills it!

[@carlosclaptrix]

He just came from hiking! 😂

Cory Henry seems to have arrived in a hurry and forgotten to take off his backpack, until after the first solo? !

[@jonesbadger]

i’m here wandering what’s in the bag since he keeps it with him? lol

[@manb4war]

I saw that, at first I thought it was some kind of weird millenial fashion accessory...then he ran offstage during Justin's solo....oh ok, he was late

[@MaxazineMusic]

Amazing gig, Amazing band! I have seen the band last year, but also am glad to have seen Forq, Bill Solo, Cory with his Funk Apostles and another time with the Metropole Orchestra... But a still I'm not done with these guys!
