I do not know the guitarist, the sax player or the bass player. (Eddie Barbash, Jack Saunders, Mike Seal) but these three artists obviously EARNED their place with the other three heavyweights. Watching and hearing them is a treat! I've seen Mr. Duncan play this in other KZbin vids but this was stupendous in it's diversity. Stuart, Noam, Sierra: You are among my favorite artists in the whole world. Stay well and thanks for all your amazing musical innovations. Great video.

[@wendellbarrett7752]

The only issue is whoever has the bass mixed way to loud and boomy which makes it hard to hear everything. Other than that your absolutely right.

[@jacobanteau6020]

@@wendellbarrett7752 It's not even that it's necessarily too loud, but it's recorded in a way that all the other instruments duck down when a note is played. Plus, all tone is lost and it just sounds like a sine wave. Whatever it is, I agree that it's obnoxious and distracting. Still a great performance though

I'm sick and in bed. Been squirming all day long in pain and uncomfortable neuro sensations. Early dinner, sunset and now this. Am on my feet dancing by myself. Seeing quite directly that the spirit is what it is, life itself, moving with the music. "Music is your only friend. Until the end. Until the.... e. n. d Play it again, Sam

I WAS FRONT ROW!!!!!! What an awesome show.

Yep, straight up love Sierra ❤️❤️❤️🎶

[@garywhitt98]

Sierra keeps that insanely fast rhythm forever. Respect.

[@downhomeshow6296]

By cracky, some of these young players are reaching the level of the newgrass greats. Special kudos to the mixing engineer-to have a saxophone and an electric guitar not overwhelm a mandolin is a neat trick.

[@agnome1176]

Sweetness! Blessings of Light, love & music Sent on to all at both ends of the edge of the winds

Outstanding! Great combination of instruments!👍✌️😊🙏🏼🎵🎶

Four years ago she knew a different song than "Mad World." That's amazing.

This is the best! Thank you soooo much for posting this, musical geniuses at work!

Love the Sax! Like a harmonica on steroids!! My band mates thought I was a nut case for wanting a Sax in our OldTime band! Well, here's proof guys!!!

[@hillbillyfpv9623]

Man am I glad I was subscribed!! Glad this got captured! Grinned the whole way through. Lot's of talent here on one stage.. can't get enough!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@grokeffer6226]

My brother and I will be seeing Sierra very soon. I'm looking forward.

[@grokeffer6226]

If you get a chance to see Sierra Hull play live, I'd recommend going to see her. She's always got great musicians around her. My brother and I both agreed that the recent show we saw was easily one of the best we'd ever seen, out of hundreds.

[@teratism143]

so much high level goodness

[@michaelmullins1290]

I've known Mike Seal for many years. I'm just finding out how much talent he has. And who he has played with. Such a humble guy. I played music with his Grandpa. He's a beast, and people are just now finding out.

[@abelltube]

He's amazing. Saw him at this show and before with Jerry Douglas. A standout. But all the players at this show were beyond reproach. Love the way Noam watches him when he plays.

[@michaelmullins1290]

@@abelltube I'll never get that look. From anybody. Make Noam smile by playing, pretty cool.

Thumbs up liked and wishing you a Happy New Years !

[@jackwilloughby239]

This is really a very Authentic version of what String Bands were composed of back in the 10's, 20's and 30's. They played a variety of tunes with an Amazing Diversity of Instrumentation, maybe more often a Clarinet than Sax, but Everything from Classical bits of Opera, Ragtime, Stride, Showtunes & Swing and of course Fiddle Tunes (really just Dance Tunes). I always wanted to hear a Saxophone play with a Fiddle and Banjo. Bravo!

[@ethanvanthillo9884]

Wow! That intro was great!

[@nonh8nsk8r]

I have something in common with all of these amazing musicians. I have that exact stool and I use it to put my coffee cup on when I jam.

[@tissuepaper9962]

Coincidentally, "stool" is a polite way to describe my playing in comparison to theirs.

[@johnwise7693]

@@tissuepaper9962 thanks for the laugh!!

[@shineoncoffee4772]

Outstanding

[@guitartec]

Well, from what I could hear, that were definitely some serious exporatory expressionism on that there stage- Yeeee haw!

[@mandobanjoguitar]

bluegrass saxophone! This is really jazz.

[@mmullerman]

Give it up for the bass, driving the tempo for over 12 minutes without missing a beat!

[@talon1623]

Great tone & technique too. So fat & punchy. Love to do a gig with that guy sometime.

[@martinlynn3699]

Thx for noticing the bass. Sometimes it feels like we bass players are invisible.

[@billackerbauer9370]

That bass player is GEOFF Saunders (not Jack). He’s awesome.

[@Benry1]

Steady 173 for 12 minutes, groovin the whole way 😎

[@regiramanathan6245]

Was not expecting a saxophone.

[@fiddlinfool94]

Idk but hands down to Stuart Duncan. Best man to ever pull a bow across the strings. Classical or bluegrass.

[@oldfarmshow]

Thank you for the video

3:40 based on Pikelny's smile and someone's laugh, I'm guessing he's quoting something. I'm still just getting into bluegrass, does anyone know if he is indeed quoting another song here and if so what?

[@Benry1]

Hahaha great catch!! Sounds like he’s quoting foggy mountain breakdown

[@JohnDuncanAVLFiddler]

epic

[@U2BRTOO]

Stuart went somewhere else on that last solo.

[@mariano697]

bravissimi

[@jonl1034]

Having listened for about 40 years to Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, Phil Woods, etc., it took a second or two to get used to the idea of alto sax in a bluegrass piece, but damn, it wasn't bad at all.

That girl has the cutest face ever😘

[@christopherwalton7553]

Does this exist outside of KZbin? Can I own it???

[@randalbladel2817]

Stewart Duncan says he can’t read music. Heck the music has to read him!

[@markforsythe1916]

Who is on banjo?

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

Noam Pikelny

[@captal6187]

Hull - she’s also played with the McCoury. Is the part of the family? All the musicians are tremendously skillful. The violin is a killer - Holy Ghost is moving!

[@WINDnotOILdotCom]

Sierra Hull has played with lots and lots of bluegrass musicians, including the McCoury family and band(s).

[@captal6187]

WINDnotOILdotCom Sure. Hull’s smile is worth a million! Fantastic.

[@SHADOWMAN296]

everybody got a break but the bass man. 12min of rythym and I thought his fingers were going to fall of, poor guy!

Who is sax player and guitarist?

[@Dloomis494]

Eddie Barbash on saxphone and Mike Seal playing guitar.

[@Formisdestiny]

Do you know what guitar he is playing , Ibanez? Model?

[@mikerobinson579]

Great playing (probably) but terrible mixing. Sounded like they only had one mic between the lot of them. I Could really only hear the sax and fiddle properly, so gave up half way. What a waste.

[@musket-hc1fc]

Get over to the microphone!

[@joezeke6107]

Incredible, although I wish I could've heard Sierra better. Her high notes especially were lost on the mix.

[@andrwlr1]

Don’t try this at home!

[@NickleJ]

That guitar technique seems to be largely informed by banjo technique. Notice how his thumb is always hitting the offbeat. I'd bet he's a banjoist in disguise.

[@scottrowe533]

It has the look of some fine playing, all around. But I couldn't say for sure because the sound on this video is beyond deplorable.

[@djamp3x341]

Mic was f*cked, cant hear sh*t, sorry, wanted to like it

[@guitartec]

Sierra dear, it's time to play with Tommy Emmanual. You have to do it sooner or later, so just get it over with.

[@josephperrizo8779]

give the girl a little volume

[@Dloomis494]

Volumn also low during Sierra's set.

[@chadvandyke9963]

holy hell, the compression on this track made me nauseous. amazing playing though!

[@tissuepaper9962]

The mix is pretty meh (mostly just too quiet by a lot, at least on my system. Sounds like they left some kind of AGC on.) but great performance nonetheless.

[@vercentigorix1]

A great example of why pros are paid hundreds of thousands of bucks.....
