Absolutely my favorite kind of music.

[@luckizt]

YES. ROCK ON.

[@ricerocket27]

Brilliance on all accounts.

[@habertree]

Uhh... whoa. So good.

[@lucyfoster4082]

No bass solo?

[@jannovak7976]

2/2 Don't know what instrument mini-mics are they using today, but I experienced the VERY same problem when amplifying the mandolin, guitar and banjo with DPA instrument mini-microphones. It's pity since they are wonderful musicians playing extraordinary instruments.

Unfortunately, the mix required for the house is often substantially different from what would be most desirable for reproduction elsewhere.

[@BjoornTorsk]

Awesome cover! Swedish polska and american bluegrass truly is a great combination. Be sure to hear the original by Väsen: /watch?v=BOyj7pRULDU Flippen is at about 22:47

[@jannovak7976]

1/2 I don't think the ''house mix'' is the the problem in this case. I heard them performing live two days ago in Berlin and the problem was the same. The problem disappeared when they played two last songs unplugged without any amplification. Therefore I believe that the trouble is in their current amplification.

Nice hospital bracelets.

[@matttheviolist]

yeah, it's not uncommon for live mixes to be shitty rush jobs. it's not too jarring unless you've just come from the album version.

[@MermaidRampage]

I smell a Bela' Fleck collaboration

[@seriphim123]

Good tune... but I miss nickel creek

[@qking1451]

These WFUV videos are excellent to look at, but painful to try and listen to. The sound/mix is just awful...

[@qking1451]

Mando mix during intro, inaudible mando harmonics, overpowering bass harmonics, etc. It just sounds like a sterile board mix. Nonetheless, I concede "awful" is too strong a word. Perhaps, having seen them live multiple times and given the number of posted PB performances which are truly excellent captures, my expectations have been unrealistically inflated.
