Sheesh, that’s a lot of music for one song

[@fatyafication]

Так ото ж...

[@folk_sound]

Well said

[@AnInterestingStory]

I would argue just a tad too much

[@cargnome]

"Sir! We don't have enough space on the album to fit all of that music! We would have too many songs!" "Is that so? Then we'll just have to put all of it into one song." "But Colonel, that could result in catastrophic levels of funk!" "Just do it!" "Yes sir... Colonel Panic..." *Colonel Panic, now alone, mumbles to himself, "If any team can do it, it'll be those Fearless Flyers."

[@ramkyid]

So Interesting man, if you dont want it, i’ll take it

[@zachmatthews9857]

That Mark solo is insane... Give me more medium guitar!!!!!

[@theodorecjones7768]

Every Mark solo so far has been amazing, he's been a great add to the normal Vulf suspects.

[@zachmatthews9857]

@@theodorecjones7768 Check out the trio or his solo work if you haven't already. Blockheads is a JAM

[@gustafsone]

@caprice.t If you haven't seen/heard it yet, check out "VF Jams LIve with Benny Greb". Mark is part of the backing band which was put together by Robert Searight, who is another Snarky Puppy alum. Also, Benny Greb is a monster on the drums! The entire VF Jams Live series is great, along with the Zildjian Live series.

[@HumbuStudio]

@@gustafsone thanks for the VF jams live... So good stuff, and Benny Greb is sick O_o

This isn’t break time. It’s how they generate the power

[@Jett-n-gin]

Dart has granted his sunglasses privileges to the rest of the band

[@k54ltyd28]

That's the level 20 virtue right? You gain the ability to have all other members of your party wear sunglasses too, even if they aren't leveled up enough on their own?

[@npmann1993]

When will he grant his head bobbing to the band?

[@porygon-z4503]

Nick Mannarino He doesn't need to, the other members gain their energy by consuming material in the form of food and resting at night. Joe utilizes the power of funk to bob his head and thus generate power from the mechanical energy of his neck.

[@patrickstarpower758]

Nick Mannarino 1:03 she's already starting

[@DeeveOnYT]

Foster Granted . . . - Joe, probably

[@aarongreen3100]

Any more compression and they'd split an atom. Nuclear funk.

[@zachmatthews9857]

Wow... Cory's ryhthm playing in this is absolutely insane. Watching him keep perfect time at 1:40 while casually watching Mark slay that solo

[@onetruemaxwhite]

when time starts running out on a Mario level...

[@customURLfor]

or it could easily be a Mario Kart 64 track theme

[@mattysheppy1193]

Actually has a more sonic the hedgehog sound

[@zachmatthews9857]

AND A KETOSIS REBOOT? YES!

[@gustafsone]

That was the first thing I noticed, too! I was like, "hey they ripped off a Cory Wong song!". Another cool thing is that Cory's version had "The Hornheads" backing him up and Kenni Holmen is in this group, too! I was honestly thinking to myself that I prefer the original version better until Mark ripped into his solo. Holy crap that guy is insanely good.

[@ritzk79]

gustafsone well Cory actually produced this album so a few songs are based off Cory’s stuff. Even older FF albums contain a number of Cory tracks.

[@AndrewBakke]

@@ritzk79 I think most of the tracks are rearragements of older songs brought by various members of the group. Simon, Daddy He Got A Tesla, Barbara and more.

[@emmalatuno6727]

Yep, just like "Introducing the Fearless Flyers" and Cory's "Lunchtime" riff!

[@daltonpetersen5220]

Now that’s some tight high speed funk

What I also like about the Fearless Flyers' channel: the comments section is filled by mostly people who are like-minded - which was to be expected, but a joy with every new video.

[@harleck9119]

Fearless Flyers are slowly evolving into an orchestra

[@squirrelbaby5973]

Introducing; on the little violin, medium violin, and big violin: The Soaring Sirens.

[@squirrelbaby5973]

Can you imagine more FF Motown jams with horns and strings.

[@squirrelbaby5973]

And Monica Martin as featured vocalist. This is what I will dream about for a while.

[@tomcutts9200]

With 3 in every section. 3 sizes of guitar, 3 sizes of sax, and 3 drum players superimposed to give the appearance of a single Nate Smith.

[@whiteknives]

hahahaha so damn accurate

[@russtuff]

These are the tightest sax players I've ever seen. This channel needs a Fearless Flyer playlist.

[@MalloryGrahamSlams]

Lettieri's little run at 1:39 gets me everytime

[@VeryScaryBiscuits]

The Fearless Flyers just introduced me to the first, and best, baritone guitar solo I've ever heard.

[@benchesworth7750]

I don't know what's better, Marks solo or Cory's face enjoying it.

[@JD-lz7bl]

This has got Prince's Fingertips all over this groove~ And I love it.

[@jwk9]

Mark Lettieri with a face-blasting medium guitar solo

[@dansaunders1655]

Can confirm, my face has not yet recovered from receiving the blasting of a lifetime

[@maligardenia]

0:55 this little part right here really gets me aped up for some reason. It sounds kinds like a quick back and forth exchange between running and dodging until you made it your destination.

[@i_cam]

2:06 just noticed that you can hear when Mark clicks the solo pedal off, real nice touch

[@nerm9507]

Just out of frame, Jack Stratton is cracking a whip telling them to go faster

[@portmantologist]

Grace bops up and down, Kenni taps his foot and sways a little bit, but Alex is doing the saxophonist equivalent of T-posing.

[@grawham]

Watching this, I just remembered Grace Kelly is going to be on today's episode of Cory and the Wongnotes!

[@braydencubes4275]

I like how every fearless flyers song always hits a new level of funkiness

[@MicahEdmonds]

I have not played and replayed and replayed a guitar solo this much in a very long time. Hats all the way off. What wizardry.

[@AndreasSchlitzkus]

Soooo tight! Absolute killer horns. Mark baritone killer, Cory loose wrist killer, Joe big guitar (and loose neck)killer, Nate drum killer.

[@evalonious]

Wow y'all that was incredible! Loved the horn arrangement, and rhythm section was top notch as always! The guitar tone was well chosen, really epic! I really enjoy how the theme of the song and title create cartoon like imagery. At least for me. (All the vulfpeck songs do this...) Asheville NC... The Orange Peel, Highland Brewery, & Oscar Blues are all three perfect show venues.
