The drummer isn’t playing the violin, the fiddle player is playing the drums lol

[@tylerwinters1992]

Been my favorite band now for... 10 years? Never gets old. And each album keeps getting better. They all have got a ton of albums and side projects too.

[@MrNonDescript01]

Saw them for about five shows so far. Familiarity is one of the most complicated, emotional song I've ever seen live; one time, when power was lost to the house sound, they walked out to the stage apron and played this song... it gave me (a grown-ass man) chills and the entire venue was absolutely SILENT but for their playing. Chris Thile can play pretty much any genre on mandolin and you can just watch how he feels the notes.

[@jasondobrich3560]

Subscribed because of this. Don’t see enough Punch Brothers reactions. And you’re doing a great job! Keep it up, bud.

[@jasondobrich3560]

If you wanna check out more of them, try this live performance of Three Dots and a Dash, one of their instrumentals kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZuze6JtabeGgsk

[@liveorexist3661]

These guys are amazing. See them live if you can. Perfection.

[@allentate8261]

Good job. Part of the joy of watching reaction videos is seeing one's favorite songs through someone else's eyes, so thanks for doing this one.

[@allentate8261]

This is one of their slower, super technical songs. Check out New York by them to see them really go after it, in terms of their instrumental skills.

[@scottbrewer9676]

DO NOT miss an opportunity to see these guys live. You will be glad you did!

[@TheJunehog]

Nice to see the greatest mandolin player alive get some space on a reaction video. Thanks!

[@velvetunderpants44]

Chris Thile is generally regarded as the best mandolin player in the world. Saw him play live about 10 years ago in Ireland and genuinely, the only appropriate response was laughter. He so far beyond the "I resent him for being SO much better than me" He's more "He's SO much better than I could EVER be. And that's kinda liberating. So ya- I laughed...

[@walterlippmann6292]

Saw him live a few weeks ago. Immediately I bought a mandolin, then threw it in the trash bc I'll never be close.

[@lllarry]

they've only been together for 16 years :) still a new band, still creating, writing, recording

[@douglashammerstrom2511]

Those are Beach Boy harmonies.

[@hansolo5491]

Bro I’ve watched this 7000 times and never noticed he hit that snare with his foot. That was disgusting lol thank u for pointing it out 1luv

[@shanesturgill75]

Bro, first of all, you are far from a terrible reactor! I can't thank you enough for doing this one! The little instrument he is playing is a mandolin - a crazy expensive mandolin at that - Chris Thile (the dude playing it) won the McArthur Genuis Grant (for being a badass musician) and spent a rather large portion of his $500,000 prize on that mandolin. It's an original Lloyd Loar built instrument (Loar was the head engineer at Gibson and the designer of this specific model). Also, fun fact - the drums are not a normal part of the instrumentation of this band - the album referenced at the beginning of the video was the first album they used any drums on. I've had the immense pleasure of seeing this song performed live twice - neither times were the drums used - Thile stomped his foot hard on the stage for the bigger, more impactful hits, but most of they rhythm came from the same dead string strumming that you hear in this rendition. I know you are a drummer (I have a drummer friend who resisted this band forever because they didn't have a drummer), but I think I prefer the performances without the drums (there isn't a quality live recording sans drums). All of these dudes are at the top of their game - their musicianship is awe-inspiring. I know this won't be a huge draw for your channel, but I really do appreciate you doing it, and hope you can get some enjoyment out of this band - they are worth diving into, for sure!

[@NORSEVIKING]

Dude, I don't mind if a band doesn't have drums. If they can do it well, then go for it. They seem to be a group that can, for sure. I'm not worried about what kind of draw I get. If anything, maybe somebody who enjoys this channel will discover some new cool music. I've discovered lots of bands I had never heard of through reactors whose personalities I liked. I love supporting independent and/or unknown artists too.

[@PiDev]

My man Shane making the same rounds I am looking for Punch Brothers reaction videos.

[@belicose9]

I’ve seen these guys live at the Ryman and I’ve seen Chris Thile (Lead vocals/mandolin) three other times with his other band Nickel Creek (one of which was at the Ryman). Every concert has been stellar and filled to the brim with new riffs and deviations. They really are doing some of the best stuff out there. Thanks for the reaction! I really enjoyed the fresh take on an old favorite.

[@shanesturgill75]

@@PiDev That's what I'm talking about! There aren't enough of them out there!

[@stephjayy]

I came here just for this!

[@stephjayy]

Oh man this was really cool to see someone react to this for the first time. Love it!

[@bzsaws]

Chris Thile was a child virtuoso on the mandolin. This is my favorite Radiohead cover of his: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ29fYaieMybrpY You don't have to react to it, but you must listen to it.

[@stephencox9824]

They are a Great 16:14 Act to see and hear live. I have had the pleasure twice, and the Playlist is longer and better than ever.

[@blake46long]

I'm so happy that you got so mad at the ad during the most tender part of the song. ❤

[@NORSEVIKING]

I don't know why people allow ads in the middle of their videos. KZbinrs do have the option. As long as I can help it, I won't have ads in the middle of mine.

[@hoppy0311]

That Ad break 😂

[@awakeandhungry4334]

Called a mandolin 9:59
