The quality of musicianship and performance here is freakishly high. Replay button is now broken.

[@PrazimProductions]

LOL

[@jirivavra4272]

It's revealed! Paul Kowert is god of sun and bass, because he has sun instead of his head. I knew that no human can play bass as he does.

[@jessicab2409]

I highly recommend seeing them in concert. I have been a fan since the beginning. As amazing as they are in studio you haven't lived until you have seen Punch in concert. ❤️

[@dclarkmusic]

I can verify!

[@willbentley5052]

Jessica Borda I agree with this. I recently saw them and a few other extremely talented musicians on the American acoustic tour and it was an incredible experience

[@CurlyReddesign]

Agreed, they are incredible live! But DON'T GO to a seated show. I wanted to dance around and had to settle for boogie-ing in my seat.

[@GabrielKerr]

Every time Chris lands a solo he looks like, "Oh, shit...did that just happen?" lol

[@lucyfoster4082]

hahahaha

[@Sammywashere]

And here we have it ladies and gentleman, the result of a group of musicians that understand and comprehend the art of playing to compliment the song, not just to be heard. Truly magnificent!

[@snevkreb14]

Punch brothers on the bluegrass situation. I thought I'd never see it. I'd reallt like to see these guys in concert.

[@filteredcreativity9409]

If this proved anything it's that Punch Brothers needs to do more outdoor music videos, kind of like Young the Giant's 'In the Open' series.

[@cartershilts1738]

+filteredcreativity A lot of acoustic bands try to avoid playing in settings like this because of issues in sound quality. Obviously the acoustics in an outside open place like this aren't great, which means there's less reverb, which means it's harder to play because no matter how good you play, you still won't be completely satisfied with the sound quality (it's a LOT easier to play when you like the sound you are getting (ie in concert hall, parking structure, stairwell, anywhere where you get natural acoustic reverb.) Everything sounds less deep and exciting in an open outside setting, there was likely reverb added digitally after the initial audio was recorded to make it sound the way it does. Not that they shouldn't do more outdoor videos, i'm just explaining why a lot of bands like this try to avoid playing in settings like this. There are a lot of outdoor settings with GREAT acoustics (check out Thile and Meyer's "Why Only One?" video.)

[@sickley2]

The biggest problem with these kinds of setups is being able to properly mic EVERY instrument. There's some key parts that you can't here in this session that are properly recorded in studio sessions.

[@fredbar10drjones]

GODS THESE GUYS ARE SO FRIGGIN GOOD!!!!!!

[@Momjeanz19]

Unbelievable. I’ll take all the ads and BS forever if the internet promises to keep delivering gems like this. I was having a cruddy day and after this can’t even remember why. Thank you. :)

[@huntergraham3127]

[@JLITliveInTruth]

A friend of mine introduced me to this song/group about a month ago, and I've been playing this video repeatedly ever since. Amazing! ❤

[@daldoc76]

[@ldr540]

Chris Thile is a genius, but he also looks like Gollum in this video 2:39

[@nickmoore9843]

It's all part of the plan I'll have 'em eating out of my hand I'll have 'em eating out of my hand Inside a week The devil's lost his way He's getting weaker every day He's getting weaker every day He thought he'd thought of something to say Said it 'til he was blue in the face I think I'm free 'Cause I'm in charge now and he isn't And it isn't anybody's business but mine Everybody's business is mine And I've been doing just as I please Since I found my skeleton key God I love my skeleton key You'll never guess who sold it to me How much I bought it for but believe me Buddy I got a hell of a deal A hell of a deal The struggle is fake The triumph is real You can never get the best of What you can never get enough of This is all part of the plan Look I'm a god more than a man Now I'm a god I don't give a damn about my soul So if I sign it away in blood So I can scare the world into loving me And I scare the world into loving me I'll have turned nothing into something and buddy If you think I look rough you should see the fool on the other end of the deal (You can never get the best of what you can never get enough of) Write me a law and I'll rise above And give me hell and I'll make a hell of a deal A hell of a deal The torment is fake The glory is real

[@craigmiller786]

Is this song about defying god?

[@LionHead914]

Tell me where i can find some good ol' hillbilly bluegrass or mountain music? Old or new... I want something real hillbilly...

[@jakeempey8146]

LionHead914 try "Earls Breakdown" or "Cripple Creek" and "Dueling Banjos"

[@robthomson916]

How the F can anyone down vote this? Deaf?

[@TheJALOBE]

[@user-lr7nm7hd1d]

The only thing bluegrass about this is the instruments. Not bluegrass music at all.
