[@definitelynotcainan3353]

And groups like Snarky Puppy are a prime example of why music education is so important. School music programs reach out and embrace a population of kids that would otherwise find school very difficult. Band kids get bullied to within an inch of their lives and music is often their big escape and savior. I guarantee you that your average high school kid hasn't heard of Snarky Puppy... but that disenfranchised and bullied band geek has. To him or her, THIS is what they aspire to be. Believe me... I know. I WAS that kid. I am 50 now and the hurt still sits there... lingering away. Listening to this makes me feel strong and damned proud to have spent my entire life playing music. Back when I was a kid, it wasn't Snarky Puppy.. it was Pat Metheny, Spyro Gyra, Maynard Ferguson and many more. I cannot say on just how many levels I absolutely ADORE this collective of musicians.

[@chestypuller4591]

Totally agree with you. I am 60. Been a percussionist since the age of 7. Did elementary band, middle school, high school, college, 5 years of Drum and Bugle Corps from 81-85 with the Crossmen as a snare drummer. After college I went into the Marine Corps, spent 6 months at the Armed Forces School of Music then performed with the Parris Island Marine Band for 3.5 years. After that I was a band and orchestra director for 31 years. I just retired. Many of my students have gone on to college for a music degree. It's cool when they call or text and thank me for the time they had in band or orchestra. The best years of my life have been with drumsticks in my hands or a baton. I grew up listening to everyone. My mom was a music teacher and my dad was gigging all the time although not in the music profession. I wore out the Aja album, all the Spyro Gyra we had at the time, Gino Vanelli, E,W,F , Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears. The list goes on.... Long nights at the drumset with a stack of albums to play to. I've had the pleasure of meeting many of the musicians that I so honored through those years. Seeing many of them in recent years and being able to talk music with them is a real gift. All of this thanks to outstanding directors and instructors along the way and parents who gave up so much to give my siblings and I every opportunity. My father is an old man now with dementia and Alzheimer's but still hanging on. I have his Ludwig Champagne Sparkle drums in may basement sitting next to my Yamaha Maple Custom set. I cut my teeth on those old Ludwig's and I'll never part with them. My mom played marimba in college and I have her Deagan marimba in the basement waiting to be restored. So yea. Music rules.

[@thomasmandalla]

Wait, there's more. People who practice music for a year or more have improved brains--the corpus callosum (the part that enables left and right hameispheres to communicated with each other) gets thicker and more robust. The hearing centers also increase. That's why band kids score higher GPAs than the other students, on average. Moreover, people who engage in a wider range of intellectual activities are generally more creative and less likely to suffer from age-related dementia. If you look into the lives of most Nobel winners in the sciences, 90% of them regularly engage in the arts (think Einstein and his violin, or Feynman and his bongos). There's no shortage of great scientists and innovators who credit the humanities for inspiring their work. As I used to tell my students, there is a reason that CERN Laboratories has an artist-in-residence, and it's not just to pimp out their large hadron particle collider.

[@danielwhitehurst8432]

Well the bass also drives the beat so it's much easier to not miss a single hit. Also we cant see them at all points so if the percussionist happened to miss something but came back in on the next bass hit then it wouldnt be noticeable. My nightmare was my highschool marching band having to do 5 bass line split in 32nd notes with each bass only doing 2 32nd hits every time it was there turn, started at the 4th bass twice and ending on 2nd 1st time but second time it kept going to first and came all the way back down to 5th.

Bunch of great musicians making great music!

[@AddHazers]

Hey Reign of Kindo is a wonderful band of great musicians too! just thought i'd share

[@teddygrant5416]

AddHazers Yes I love Reign of Kindo but Snarky is on a whole different level technically and musically. If they toured together with Lettuce and Soulive I would Kill to see those 4 bands on the bill.

Nate Werth is the most passionate musician I've seen in a while

[@spacejazz6272]

Michael league seems alot more passionate imo

[@spacejazz6272]

Robert O'halloran okay? I wasn't critcising or judging anyone I was just saying I find Michael League not only on the faces he pulls but because he's the one who writes and arranges most of snarky puppy's songs. Havent you ever seen him in interviews? He's absolutely in love with music

[@tontocorazon]

That cellist is stealing my heart

[@ethtt]

Having listened to this song for at least 8 years now, my favorite part is Nate's percussion. His lines are so intentional and adds such a nice feel and texture to the whole arrangement. He fills such a unique niche in the ensemble and he does it so tastefully.

[@justme1893]

California here and i go to dialysis three times a week. One of the technicians Darryl turned me unto this fantastic band, I bought the live double cd and have not stopped listening for a month. Time to buy more, Love this band!

[@ktinxx]

Good for you! It's a blast of positive energy straight up your veins, for sure! I have times when I teeter on the brink of depression, Snarky Puppy (or Jacob Collier, also highly recommended!) always get me back from there.

[@nicolasleblanc1461]

It's always cool to see the chemistry between the musicians.

[@RambunctiousVA]

This is one of those rare videos that’s just so good I wanna cry watching it.

[@wulfenii64]

It's nice to see young people grasping music like this.

[@jerrypolon2033]

and not young at all too... I'm 75 and going crazy listening to this!

[@wulfenii64]

Jerry Polon Well you know jazz, most of the younger folk don't have the attention span to listen to this kind of music. The 70s, for the most part, were the end of deep music.

[@IgBtac0]

You haven't been listening to music since the late 1970s then apparently.

[@wulfenii64]

I know of a lot of bands that have had a very musical vision from the last twenty or thirty years. That doesn't mean they have been popular although one or two have been. How about you tell me what is worthy.

[@IgBtac0]

I'm just commenting on your statement that deep music ended long ago, which is kind of naive in my opinion.

[@Shaglaki]

I'm a bit in love with the cellist.

[@n89434]

Up until a couple years ago, I hadn’t heard of Snarky Puppy or Shofukan. My daughter’s high school marching band plays it as part of their stand tunes during football games. It gets stuck in my head every football season. Love it. This video is awesome- love watching a group of talented musicians who are obviously thoroughly enjoying themselves!

[@tnetennba725_3]

I used to play it for marching band in the stands too! :D

God, I feel like I could write a whole novel around this song. There are so many different voices. So much character. Even three acts.

[@buffplums]

Loved discovering this band about 10 years ago… also love that cello player in the red, she is just gorgeous

[@rockjaw11]

Sick trumpet solo!

[@panGrzegurz]

I agree with you man. Pretty rad this solo is.

[@Cannonbo]

5:57 - 6:02 !!!!! best moment, when the bass plays a really cool variation while the keyboarders dance :-D

[@VincentRubinetti]

YES! I just caught this subtle moment today listening in the car!

[@jesmarina]

How can so many of these spectators sit still? This is friggin' JAMMIN'!

[@MuttleyMutter]

They don't :) In these videos the audience, the studio techs, the photograpers, everybody is in the groove, grinning with genuine pleasure and moving with it. After the music ends, there's a respectful silence and then unfettered applause - and a standing ovation for Cory Henry after Lingus. Quite the most engaged and responsive audience of any Snarky Puppy video that I've seen.

[@jomarthegreat1]

0:43 "yeah, let's f***in do this." CELLO FACE.

Hahaha absolutely kind of john petrucci's face also !

The lady in pink in the back in 2:08 looks like she's in another world!! :) I guess that is what happens when you go watch a Snarky Puppy concert live! Want to see them so bad!

+Jonathan Oyervides oh wow i never noticed her! now i have more enjoyment out of this recording!

[@JonathanOyervides]

+Jo Cera Right!! This kind of music takes me to another world!

[@GrantJolanta]

sleeper is really the one man. deliciously haunting and funky. and without a reprise.

[@urik]

+Jonathan Oyervides Got to see them yesterday in Buenos Aires. Go see them if you ever have the chance, it was amazing!

[@JonathanOyervides]

+urik I truly wish one day I get to see them live, but the thing is that they always play in places far away from where I live. :(

[@boryshacker]

At 5:22 they sing "pa pa paaaa pa pa pa". After the last song played at Tortona, Italy, at the end of the concert,, the public sung that piece and the band started playing Shofukan! That was epic!

[@noelgallard1128]

That cello player is just beautiful

[@structlightning]

That percussionist is killin it!

[@davidecangiano9340]

The guitar arrangement that starts at 4:48 is very complex to think and to play, because it is in 5/8 or 5/16 (I believe) but the drums section is in 4/4. That's amazing!
