Muthspiel & Blade - FRIENDLY TRAVELERS LIVE - gnadenwald

[@vintagelizard]

Brian Blade is the most happy drummer that i know, its so amazing to how much fun he got behind drums.

[@ReminiscenceHr]

I've been rewinding the video for 50th time now just to see the smile on Blade's face when Wolfi hits those notes. This is music. This is what all musicians strive for. LIFE.

[@hihat080]

It was like a movie

[@CuriousGabe17]

Brian Blade plays a lot of stuff in this video... but... It all makes sense! Every note he plays has a purpose and is so tasty. Viva la Blade!

[@joegridl]

Also ich könnte nur wiederholen, was der letzt geschrieben hat... Wahnsinn Herr Muthspiel! Excellent Mr. Blade!!!

[@rosegoodfriend]

Lovely - I was looking for the Friendly Travellers gospel group, but got converted! Heavenly smile at end, too!

[@stalliec]

WOW. Brian is the perfect example of a musical drummer, making every single note count to enhance the music. Thanks for posting. Beautiful!

[@AbstractMan23]

Poetic stuff. The drummer goes beyond merely playing the drums. Not often I listen through a whole KZbin clip but this one really grabbed me and pulled me in.

[@AurelioTarallo]

I feel like i've been hit by a giant wave of sound...this is great!

[@Fsuholley]

Wow. Found this on a thread about looping pedals. Glad I did. The feel of the drummer is amazing!

[@j5001bcd]

Incredible. They are one with their instruments and the music. Brian Blade’s drumming is so fluid and dynamic. Blows my mind

[@goldensleeves]

Amazing how good this sounds... even at 240p. I wish it was uploaded in a higher audio quality. The music is very good

[@taniakragulj]

Love Wolfie and Blade...beautiful!

[@swhaht6807]

I listen to this repeatedly. another world opens. t u

[@Luke.Angle-Drums]

I absolutely love these recordings. Must have the DVD. Brian Blade approaches the drumset with such conviction. Breathtaking.

[@polobede9054]

Ils ont de la chance de jouer l'un avec l'autre , et l'autre avec l'un .Quelle équipe ! ! !

[@Guitarsoundfreak]

What a beautiful music!

[@andreffotografia]

there´s nothing like what I fell now - divine grace almost describes my soft and well-being felling.

[@michaelwilkens6865]

Watching this duo live was one of the most memorable shows I have ever seen. Such an incredible amount of joy expressed on stage through the deep musical connection between these two masters!

[@saleens7austin]

just the right blend of jazz groove, rock guitar tone, and overarching good vibes. Wow.

[@Atarijunkie72]

Blade isn't human! Absolutely wonderful drumming

[@bytedildo]

now this performance blew me off ..it totally paralized me, I can't move, I can only listen.

[@maciejgrzesiak]

I w ogóle Brian Ty jesteś najbardziej kulturalnym perkusistą! :)

[@owenmcgee8496]

the spirit of an open-ended conversation, translated into music. jazz can work like that. great drums here. I picked up a cd of this duo at a Muthspiel gig from a year or two later with a conventional trio (Mehdlau's bass/drummer rather than Blade). Muthspiel had stopped using loops by then. jazz musicians generally avoid using loop pedals and the like. but if used well, like here, tis nice (david becker is another guitarist that does that), especially if it works to create a folky/melodic vibe, as here, which is a large part of the reason why Metheny's melodies, with reverb, were so popular in the first 10 years of his career

[@JTstate44]

What a beautiful partnership man, such good music

[@pierot4024]

he is a friend of mine and im so proud of him

[@manuroza]

It's just AMAZING !!!! The life is here.... Thanks a lot Mr Blade & Mr Muthspiel......

[@epasurr]

i feel like this was in someway an inspiration for Highway Rider, the ambience is very similar. this is so inspired

[@zimbra67]

Incredible Duo! Bravo!!!

[@gupta76]

this one always inspire me! Thank you Jasmina Hajdany.

[@youngun550]

So much knowledge, honesty and most importantly joy on that stage

[@IjonTichy-1000]

are they flying? this is the best. I hope to hear Blade with Terje Rypdal one day.

[@gregorykerian4336]

Love it!! Thanks.

[@TheAndy2408]

Brian Blade is amazing! He's always smiling!

[@purpleheavyrain]

고등학생때 이 앨범이 나왔는데 그땐 유튜브도 음반도 귀했던 때라 이 충격적인 앨범을 몇달 동안 반복해서 들었던 기억이 난다. 하교하며 보이던 노을이 생각나네

[@teddypantelas]

What else can be said but great music.

[@TonPulsar]

These two are amazing musicians, no need to compare them to anybody, they have their own unique way of expressing through their art.

[@littledrummer16]

and his ride cymbal...... soooooo beautiful! Just everything within these 9 min :O

[@johnielsen08]

Awesome song. Absolutely incredible drumming. Holy cow. I'm a guitar playing and the guitar here is also tremendous but those drums blew my mind.

[@vividorrrr]

No words!!!! I love you Brian!!!!

[@wolf-gangiam-a-drumma6488]

[@Massy012]

He literally IS the instrument.

[@flangeres1752]

Nice playing, tune and use of the loop! C.G.T. Ukiah, CA

[@davidschwartzguitar]

@SammyWamii It's a Frame Works guitar. Ralph Towner also uses one.

[@ciquel]

[@TheDadou9]

AMAZING !

[@acerb4566]

Very well done!

[@youremember40]

Me recuerda la época dorada de Pat y Lyle. Es muy limpio al tocar la guitarra. Excelente.

[@keepjammin36]

This is new territory, is it not? Great stuff.

[@videoyamaken]

ひやー、すばらしいです。

[@whirlawaysteven]

mr blade, could i please have just 1/250 of your ability and feel??

[@filipebrandao1829]

Isso é Lindo demais!!

[@jiminyguitar]

Caaaaarzy good

[@bytedildo]

@culpritto yes, metheney had some influence on him cause he was his teacher in Boston.

[@gregmorrow]

bloody hot!!!

[@flautanomade9298]

Lindo demais !!

[@micekpeter]

suhlasiim najpopici precitene jak som vobec prezil

[@ChristianGoergen]

Fantastische Aufnahmequalität, selbst über IPhone und normale Kopfhörer. Wer hat das Mikrophon aufgestellt?

[@robd2650]

This stuff is great! I've just become aware of Wolfgang, & love his cleaner sound. Also I'm wondering if the Ludwig drums are Brian's? I've never seen him playLudwig, & they have one of the most amazing sounds of any drums I've heard him play.

[@pierot4024]

sorry i forgot unbelievible music for the soul

[@Guitarsoundfreak]

Guys, Wolfgang is using LEXICON JAMMAN. I have one for sale, cause i dont use it anymore...

[@attuneu]

thankyou Masters

[@rcubed888]

Thank you too.

[@keepjammin36]

This song was a landscape. Nicely done! Remniscent of Pat Metheny, but original.

[@xpjazz]

amazing

[@trappedsoul7]

yeah, it's the one from BOSS

[@maciejgrzesiak]

super :)

[@merlepa508]

does someone know which guitar he plays first? the one with the head turned around? which model is it? would be glad if someone knows it and could tell!

[@GlennMichaelThompson]

It's from a German company called Frame Works. Here's a link: www.frameworks-guitars.com/about-frame-works-guitars.html

[@pierot4024]

nbelivieble

[@anwardrum]

Brian Blade is the man, if u didn't know already.

[@Dvareckas]

original jazz compose!!! +5

[@NeilRaouf]

wolfnag is creating progression

[@littledrummer16]

anyone know the snare brian is using?????

[@ReminiscenceHr]

where can this commercial release be bought and is it a commercial release at all?

[@renato2u]

Any one knows which looping pedal is W. using?

[@unclejunglebass]

@epasurr yeah dude. this sounds a lot like "john boy."

[@julianurabl]

hm should have been a reply on the looping discussion..

[@trappedsoul7]

well, i am sure he used to boss rc20 at a live show, because i've seen it with my own eyes. maybe he also uses a digitech, but i know for sure he uses the boss rc20.

[@rklionel]

Like Keith Jarrett & Jack De Johnette. The loop replaces the bass player. Anyway, Brian has the same musical feel as Jack has, IMHO.

[@BJrok]

That nerdy black guy has a really nice drum tone. Dry and thick with least amount of that irritating snarish(?) sound. Love it.

[@jensclarberg6419]

Nerdy black guy?

[@paloky2]

ouuf!

[@jeronimoringo]

probably his own custom canopus zelkova snare...i guess

[@arielinver]

@grijazz Brian Blade is the best drummer in the world!!

[@julianurabl]

ah, urs too? :>

[@lalithakrishnan9527]

Hi

[@69angelico]

15/8 ??

[@jensclarberg6419]

Just 4/4

[@julianurabl]

1 digitech jamman, 1 lexicon jamman, boss rc-20 sometimes (but not at that tune)

[@julianurabl]

macht er aber nur im duo; das motiv is ja eig nicht schwer zu spielen, aber dass der kurze loop so perfekt sitzt ist nicht einfach. solo spiel ich den auch immer live ein, aber wenn man mit nem drummer spielt is die gefahr einfach zu groß, dass man später den loop verliert (ich glaube leute die ihn nicht selbst bedienen haben so ihre probleme damit ;), vorallem wenn man zu enthusiastisch spielt und es laut wird.
