Rachael sings all books: Jazz, Soul, Swing, Blues, Pop and now Irish Folk Music, unbelievable.

How I miss Live from here.......................................

[@Kaboomthensprinkles]

😢 Same

[@brucekuehn4031]

It was all just a dream Too perfect to actually exist

[@larryadams458]

I agree, it should morph into a summer touring show like the old time barn storming days.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Needs to come back

[@miriamgreen3973]

Rachel Price is a national treasure

[@craigschloesser6200]

Rachael is such a treat to watch .A super versatile artist. And singing with these guys who are all at the top of their game is just beautiful

[@sacha193]

I discovered Live from Here, Rachael Price, Lake Street Dive, Chris Thile, etc ... on the late. After 8 years focused on Americana. Then ... Lil' Birdy ... and probably hours of undiscovered high performance BlueGrass tunes are gonna make my music lover's hunger satisfied with this modern musical scene :)

[@Thegoat152]

When true masters of a craft do something it’s always just a notch above in ways that are hard to articulate.

[@jeremyrhoads6899]

Please excuse me while I try and will a full album into existence.

[@melanierankin4134]

Paul Kowert’s smile at 2:01 when Rachael hits that note gives me life

[@larryadams458]

Thanks, made me go back and check it out.

[@dmanLVN]

I just can't even say how much joy... this song has brought!! Thanks RP&PB!! I love you....

[@stevepricern]

Unbelievable talent, arrangement and blend..... just made me cry....those tears just came ........thank you

[@mrmaat]

This is absolutely incredible. Six of the best bluegrass musicians in the world jamming in perfect synchronicity with all the joy they can muster. It almost made me weep.

[@williamlawrence5040]

Have you ever seen anyone have as much fun playing music as Chris Thile?

[@rusticrow]

The genius is that they are all playing to, and honouring, the song and each other.

[@josecarbajal5028]

Good Lord, from Rachael, to Chris, to that damned banjo, everything was breathtaking individually, and as a whole, well, awe-inspiring

[@mediamamachick]

Man -o-man this is sho nuf some stellar pickin and gettin nem harmonies flowing. Love love loveRachael Price and Chris Thile what!! He has this childlike inner wind up doll joy that makes the songs so meaningful and yet so much fun. Great Performance yaw.

[@Circus76]

The voice of an angel.

[@bobconnor1210]

Marvel at her astounding voice!

[@leehjones]

My oh my. Punch and Rachel just crushing it at an American musical institution. Maybe, just maybe, there's hope.

[@antisocial1821]

I love this song, the combo RP&PB so much ❤

[@jamesriesterer1141]

I will betcha this much, come the passing of another 50 years, try as they may gather a collection of musicians and precisely one sweet as an Angel voiced woman to match the performance you will witness hear, they will not come close. Just saying, we are fortunate, friends. Fortunate indeed!

[@696969es]

Such a beautiful preformance. She has such an incredible voice.

[@devendarthapliya8400]

[@ArkRed1]

Friends and neighbors that's what is called, "Music". Yes sir.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Just superb, as we’ve come to expect from these folks.

[@tahoemike5828]

Two good things going great together.

[@andrewlass9866]

As someone who plays the mandolin, it hurts me to watch Chris thile play, dang he’s so bloody amazing …the singing was good too I guess :)

[@eccolibri]

Good? Rachael price is freaking amazing! She sings with Lake Street Dive. Watch her sing What I'm Doing Here.

[@baboothewonderspam]

Wow…. Breathless!!

[@johnp2310]

This made me cry it was so good

[@andhewonders]

There you are Rachel🕊

[@JasonArcherKnepper]

I was in the room for this one. And I’m happy to report it’s captured beautifully here. Time stopped during this one. It was a crazy concert. Shortly after this Common rolled out and rapped. All amazing…

[@ThePaulbself]

Was the only wire her mic? It looks like this was all picked up by one mic.

[@JasonArcherKnepper]

As far as I could tell, just the one mic. The bass was the only instrument that didn’t move in to get louder at points. Though, I suspect the bassist was handling his volume dynamically and not positionally.

[@ThePaulbself]

[@bearnutritionherbs1701]

This was so AWESOME!!!!

[@JochenVogel]

Beautiful!

[@mollymacnaughton8466]

SOOOO GOOOD!!!

[@leslielower1077]

well done, PB and Rachel! Enjoyed! Hope to see more music after so much quiet these past couple years

[@louiswalkerphipps2251]

I love this SO much!!!

[@robertrusso6347]

Oh. My. God.

[@oldcremona]

Killer arrangement

[@zibabird]

Beautifully done, shared.

This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson

[@richardingraham6353]

Very nice 👍

[@mackpainter7445]

Add blue grass to Rachel's amazing repetitore

[@KITLEVEY]

I have been a solid supporter and fan of Rachel Price for at least ten years. She continues to own her variable environments with precision and class. What a thrill to see her here, giving it her best and making Chris Thile very happy to be the brilliant artist he is.

‘Tell me do you like bluegrass child?’ ‘Ma’am I do tonight’

[@BanjoFrog612]

Is there… is there more?

[@charlesgoodine8960]

Now need her to pair up with Alison Krauss and Robert Plant or maybe the Petersons.

[@ArkRed1]

That was sponsored by Boeing. I'm surprised a light didn't fall or the stage collapse.

[@robsands6299]

Is there any style she can't master?

[@stevieandthebluescasters5947]

Love her, love them.But together, not so much.

[@taylormorris_]

Not my cup of tea despite loving this song. I do t care for the vocal arrangement and delivery. The PB deliver per usual tho.

[@paulwalker797]

I am always sad to see such virtuosity and over playing of what are simple and sweet tunes. Yep these guys can play, they can more than play!...and the lady can sing but the delivery is over done and for me loses what the tune possesses... that which it carries from the people who wrote and the times and cultures that bore it. Virtuosity is ruining the genre, much as it did with jazz, which is now a technical exercise in the mastery of instruments...it becomes mere finger diddling and polish.

[@rjensen2586]

That's just, like, your opinion man

[@paulwalker797]

@@rjensen2586 Of course.

[@mrmaat]

I don’t get that sense at all. These guys (and gal) are not just showing off, they are using their skill to beautifully embellish the song. Of course that’s my opinion too.

[@lorpsandorps3729]

My dude, they were holding back.
