The Florentine by Big Big Train

[@buffplums]

I feel sorry for people that won’t listen to music like this … they just do not know what they are missing… I can listen to this again and again and love every note, every beat, every harmony of it. RIP David, there will never be anyone again like you sir

[@anthonywillcox9864]

Totally agree. Master piece. Cheers from France.

[@buffplums]

Lovely to see Dave and Nick singing harmony … this is my favourite band!!!

[@ricscothern1142]

Ditto Chris Cain. People not spinning BBT are missing out.

[@DavidStanley85281]

@@ricscothern1142 Just like Peter and Phil.. another Genesis parallel

[@buffplums]

When I’m feeling down Big Big Train always makes me feel better

[@dandecastro51]

Absolutely! Like YES So uplifting! My fave "new" music :)

[@kasuu5821]

This fantastic performance shows that Nick is not only a gifted drummer but also a gifted musician. To me he is a wonderful inspiration.

[@charlenetaylor5548]

I've had the pleasure of seeing Nick play live a dozen times, from completely solo acoustic, to with one guitarist, to drumming and singing with the Mike Keneally Band, and a number of times with Spock's Beard. His musical talent is intimidating, but he is one of the nicest guys to meet. He started calling my friends and I his groupies when he released his first solo album, and we caught 3 of those tiny shows. I have never seen anyone sit on a stool with pedals on a bass drum and high hat, a bass is his lap, a keyboard to his right, and a mic in front of him, and manage to play all of them. I almost fell off of my chair.

[@christinepapworth9916]

Wonderful music and one of the best gigs I have ever been to. RIP David. You will never be forgotten xx

[@MarcoAnteroMusic]

So freaking good

[@steveedward7572]

The two vocals blend together nicely.

[@jeffvnj]

Masterpiece, wow. Can’t get enough of this amazing performance. Thanks BBT , can listen to all their music for hours and hours.

[@jeffvnj]

All i can say is WOW! Amazing musicians, songwriters, forever inspiring. Thank you BBT

[@cluster1955]

I'm stunned! Beautiful music, unpredictable and performed to the highest standards! When was it the last time, that an electric guitar solo transcended into a full blowing 5-piece horn section without anybody wondering ... it was just done so musically perfect. The music is the star! Big Big Train - Best Band Around ...

[@buffplums]

Every single person in this room all together as 1 … enjoying the next best thing to love … beautiful people xxx

[@TedSchoenling]

This may well be my favorite all time BBT lineup. Glad to see them here, sad to see them go.

[@O-Grady]

I don't know why it took me so long to discover this amazing group of musicians. And having just discovered them I am saddened beyond words at the loss on David Longdon.

[@GCEzel]

So am I. I just got into the band, have been enjoying them very intensely for a few weeks only to know today of his passing. I am devastated.

[@pierregingras6417]

Same thing for me… I’ll have so many pieces to listen… I live in a french country…. Pratically nobody Knows this band…

[@JeffCooper10538]

I was there. One of my favourite gig memories of all time. 👏👏

[@klemenskupper7028]

I think so!👍

[@augustblue5972]

This is what skilled and talented musicians look like. I could listen to this everyday, all day.

[@grahamhowes6904]

Fabulous as ever - fantastic band! It’s like Hatfield and the North crossed with Genesis and a Canterbury folk rock vibe thrown in - anyone else hear Phil Miller in some of those guitar runs?

[@lusighfer]

I know what you mean. I even hear the Peter Bardens/Camel influence in the synth solo.

[@KennethACrashwaggonMusic]

Rikard's facemelter of a solo might just be one of my all time favourites. Perfection. 😍

[@KennethACrashwaggonMusic]

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a band show off the talents of the entire band in one such accessible tune. That's incredible really.

[@nielserikmogensen-lasen1023]

+8 minutes of chills running down my spine... Wow !!

[@stevewilson20]

This one is the best prog tune within the last five years. And the band is able to play it almost exactly as on the studio record.

[@architectofechoes4]

That just about sums it up! So true.

A night to remember for the rest of my life!! As was every other show night on the grand tour last year... But the last night at the The Hackney Empire truly was something else... Sublime!! I stood up daddy dancing through the lion part of the gig....

[@BradElias]

Great video - especially camera work and editing showing the chemistry of the performance. Stage right was a monster with the focus.

[@davidfederspiel431]

Brings me to tears

[@septic77]

I was there! (& Birmingham show) JUST SUBLIME, great memories. Won’t be the same without Rachel

[@thegreenman555]

Easily one of the very best music videos on KZbin - what a brilliant band, what a great song!

[@mihaliprefti2507]

Just discovered you!!! Wow! Wow! Wow! As great as the greatest! Thank God I did come across you! Radio North America would never play such music.

[@felmac83]

Minute 6:35........chills everywhere!! what an epic Climax of the song!!! Long live BBT, just keep blowing our prog-symphonic-rock minds! Absolute delight to listening

[@sonicplys64]

This band is amazing. Talent all over the place.

[@buffplums]

Never tire of this song it really lifts me up such a perfectly matched set of wonderful clever musicians who know what they are doing and an equally loving audience who were at one with the band. This moment in time no one or nothing, life or death can change or erase … it happened and by the miracle of technology we can enjoy it again and again.

[@FranciscoHernandez-ni3kd]

These guys never fail to deliver. Impressive.

While listening I had to cry because David left us ..... so much music we are never going to hear ......

[@Drifter21031971]

The briliant song! Bravissimo!... Gregory, please keep the band alive even now. I know, it is very very hard work... You did and, I hope, you will be do not a just progressive rock. You did and, I hope, you will be do the real music for our brains and our souls. Good luck!

Yet more excellence from this great great band

[@Marctull66]

Splendid version, everybody had rehearsed like mad to achieve this, I'm sure. This is accessible music which is complex to play, yet. That's great they brought the small brass band on stage... a special feature in BBT's music, that I really like since it first appeared, while usually I'm not into brass music. It makes a differenc,e and quite often, there's a melancholy feel to what they play.

[@pedroalbertogomez5558]

This is beautiful

[@stevenbatley8666]

You have to play that from the heart ,fabulous performance by everyone.

Fantastic!! Much better than the studio version.

[@ShoobedoobeOG]

Fantastic picture on this. Was sorta let down by the very visible grain and noisy image in Reflections of Light - this looks far cleaner and far more professional. Otherwise, tremendous performance, great balanced mix, I could go on. Haven't been this excited for a live album's release in a long time!

[@OnReflection58]

Non sarà più lo stesso senza Dave Gregory, Danny Manners e Rachel Hall! Godiamoci questo live e il blu ray che uscirà il 27 novembre. Uno dei migliori momenti di questa fantastica band, è una sintesi meravigliosa di tutto quello che il progressive rock ci ha proposto dagli anni '70 ad oggi. Grazie Big Big Train!

Eu também! Não sei se você é do Brasil, mas gostaria que viessem pra cá alguma vez. Não os acompanho há tanto tempo, mas desde que os descobri no ano retrasado, tenho adorado todos os álbuns que ouvi! (Aliás, adoro o disco do Sigur Rós da sua foto de perfil)

[@joshwolfegant8449]

@@Lellos_ Então sou do Brasil tbm! Não conheço há muito tempo também, conheci-os em 2017, mas desde então é certamente umas das bandas que mais me marcou, possivelmente a favorita das novas que surgiram, o som mescla tudo que havia de bom nos anos 70 com uma nova roupagem, espero muito que eles venham, quem sabe um dia haha. Bem, definitivamente este álbum do Sigur Rós é o meu favorito da vida! Conheci ano passado, mas me mudou e causa influência até hoje. Você tem facebook?

[@toamcdohl]

Everyone knocked it out of the park here -- loved it -- but man, have I missed hearing D'Virgilio in this kind of featured vocal role. He's as much a vocal asset as he is a valuable drummer, in my opinion. And he's a damn fine drummer. Grand Tour was my favorite album of 2019. I'm hoping for many more great tunes out of these guys.
