SPBGMA Jam 2017 "Sitting on Top of the World"

[@X.therapper]

Anyone else still play this back at least once a month? Their energy is infectious

[@LoneRevD]

You know you got a room full of players when a guy needs help guy comes in and kills it on vocals. Great jam.

[@danielwhittington4559]

Thats not just a random guy, It’s John Mayer

[@keithhunter3910]

@@danielwhittington4559 Or Johnny Meyer.

[@alexhampton5772]

Yea that ain’t a random dude.

[@billstetler6769]

Check out the Meyer family. Awsome

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

He just strolled over in his comically huge hat and knocked it out of the park.

[@bradsparks6008]

Johnny meyer coming in like it was nothing!! Such a compact and tight group brilliant work!

[@AvikCZ]

I've listened to it a hundred times. In my opinion, one of the best spontaneously played bluegrass songs. The boys are more likeable than the other!

[@wilsmith889]

I completely agree with your comment. Even on the watching it 100 times part

[@generaldave512]

I can't stop watching this vid

[@ussgear]

To the 16 people who gave this video a thumbs down, you should be a shamed of yourself, your mama would be a shamed of you... or maybe your mama didn't raise you right to begin with! 😂😂😂 mighty fine pickin' and singing boys, mighty fine! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world via KZbin... 'preciate y'all

[@dlagrua]

Wow Wiley Bailey was on fire for this performance

[@oldetobie2568]

These are my favorite types of videos, these dudes are having so much fun playing

[@truittsosebee8159]

Wiley Bailey's backup from 1:29 to 1:33 and break at 1:41 may be the nastiest banjo recorded at SPBGMA this year. Mash, son.

[@metalabsynth]

Badass playing all around but hats off to the 2nd singer not even skipping a beat jumping in when needed

[@alan4sure]

Zach Top I believe.

[@cinwhitely]

John Meyer

[@alan4sure]

@@cinwhitely Is it really? I stand corrected!

[@1217Queen]

MICAH JOHN And the one saying that is Jay Shuler

[@k_4nderson]

It's April 2021 and I just wanted to say that I come back to watch this video all the time! A gem.

[@wiscgaloot]

Oh man, I miss being able to go to bluegrass jams! This was great, they just killed it.

[@brandondillard2306]

These young men flat out burnt it down!! I love it

[@adamgarrett4758]

This may be the coolest effin bluegrass video I've ever watched. That fellow owned that toothpick and those vocals. And they missed half a beat looking for the vocals but how they all jumped right back on it was superbad.

[@jtcorey7681]

Listened and played along a zillion times. Still awesome.

[@Scruggs_Crowe]

Daggum, I love when this pops up on my youtube auto play. Wiley man, you crushed this SO hard.

[@darrellkidd5177]

Knock, knock Hotel manager: "How many people y'all got in that room?" Voice inside room: "Just one sir." Hotel manager: "How come I'm hearing all of those instruments?" Voice inside room: "I'm getting all of those from my moonshine jug." Throwback to the Darlins on the Andy Griffith Show. Great job guys!

[@T410ce]

Brisco Darling : you don’t believe I can get banjo sounds out of this jug?.... Andy : ... nope.. Brisco : ... mans entitled to his opinion... 😆 This is verbatim from the Andy Griffith show... been watching all the episodes on DVD... all’s the ones with the Darlings are the best...Honestly this old fashioned comedy is the best people... zero crudeness... simply the best.

[@kemhendrick1256]

[@JPM-NM]

That banjo solo was outta this world!!

[@marlenebadyrka2863]

ALL THAT TALENT IN ONE ROOM HOW AWESOME

[@tydouglas3013]

"Sing it John". John, that was so bad ass.

[@danielbell393]

Toothpick and all.

[@jasonmeyer1054]

That's a while lotta dexterity in one room! Awesome to see this old art form alive and kicking! You guys are all true musicians.

[@danielwhittington4559]

That is some of the best picking ive ever heard

[@troyalec50]

I just keep watchin' this over and over. Love it!!

[@quarredsatros9844]

WOW!!!!!! This is "hard drivin' bluegrass" at its best.

[@LynnGuff]

Ooooh this makes me so happy! Love those smiles and love how the guy doesn’t skip a beat and jumps in with those vocals.

[@dm5204]

Outstanding. And they look as though they’re having a blast. Love it.

[@johnnylegnazzi7045]

What a blistering banjo!!

[@michaelmcknight8419]
