[@MisterstereoOso]

As a 75 year old ( English ) Rock / Fusion Jazz / Funk/ World music fan, i have to say that i am totally blown away by these guys originality & virtuosity, i'm guessing Chris Thiele does a lot of the writing, ( only because he seems to be the most eccentric of the group ) anyway i shall now be diving deep into the Punch Bros. rabbit hole & will no doubt have lots of fun discovering the rest of their work. ( P.S. also love Brittany Haas & Hawktail ) Long live Americana music & a big shout out to Whitney Webb.....

[@rodneycaupp5962]

I got out of the Navy 50 years ago... that backdrop is so calling me.... Then there's this fantastic voyage of their music. Carry Me away. Watch... At Break Down. Been there. It is frantic. General Quarters. All hands heave out. Save this ship and crew. My soul is a sailor

[@u4ofile]

I'm happy to see the boys doing well enough to afford a second mic

[@theforeverpuddle8754]

Well, they all have DPA mics for their instruments.

[@saheltaja]

None of those are DPA:s though. Audio Technica ATH350 and pro35, if my eyes don't deceive me.

[@berrywilliams1050]

Heh, those two mics are probably worth more than your car ;-)

[@grant5603]

I do like a single mic setup

[@uglybass9993]

You cheeky bastard...

[@jadenwaz9585]

the fact that this is on youtube for free is such a blessing.

[@1manmonster]

They literally just keep getting better...

[@lilianatenorio4813]

I was at this show in the front few rows and @ 21:36 in This Girl you can see Chris smiling directly at me while I was singing back at him. Will honestly never forget that moment, such an awesome show.

[@jordplaysviolin]

omg I'm JeaLous

[@juliojimenez9794]

To me, the best part of this concert, by far, is a section that lasts less than two minutes in the middle of "It's Part of the Plan". Noam and Chris perform two solos, and OH MY GOD, the virtuosism is OVERWHELMING! Both solos are super short. One wishes they would go on and on, like in a jazz improv session, but no, it's just a taste of what they both are capable of doing, and they leave you salivating and wanting more. Again, the virtuosism in this band is unparalleled. I had the pleasure of seeing them in Dallas, and I can only say I'm so happy Chris decided to visit our planet.

[@goodwintrent2989]

An audience to die for - boisterous and yet respectful, They seem to know all the band's material and love every second of it... and they sing on pitch!

[@chandlertucker7843]

For real. Shows you the type of people Punch Brothers draws in.

[@BettyDickBuck]

My favorite videos of live performances strangely were mostly performed and filmed in Boston. This shocks me still as a born and raised masshole. This video shocked me in particular. I just learned about these guys a year ago and here are my people who are usually loud, rough, and not giving a f’q, being awesome punch bros fans years before me… IN BOSTON?! UH… What…?

[@lukaswensting5763]

Amazing. Heard them the first time ever today - their Tiny Desk - and immediately went to watch and listen to this. Could become a love story.

[@valenarrative]

I wish I could go back and hear them for the first time again. Magical experience.

[@marine2557]

The solo that Gabe does at 59:43 on "New York City" always makes me emotional. Lord, the mastery and passion he emotes through that violin is amazing!

[@grant5603]

It's insane

[@bethlibart]

Same here. Orgasmic

[@fanu4059]

exactly

[@allentate8261]

You can see his bandmates sitting in the background and just enjoying it too. So great! It's a different solo than the album. They just keep pushing, every time, to make it better.

[@jakehewitt2697]

I love watching Chris Eldridge’s face during this solo

[@uglybass9993]

The best thing about Chris Thile is his voice does not falter even a little bit from his live or recorded performances, its always spot on.

[@BubbaZen10]

When i was a kid, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix were my heroes. I just bought a mandolin, and now i have a new one.

[@jeremygreer4039]

I just saved a ton of money by switching to Geico.

[@bobbystreets2653]

What a beautiful comment. 1luv 💛

[@magalahiguahan]

I bought one two years ago because of Chris. I still suck, but my love and respect of his playing keeps me constantly inspired.

[@BubbaZen10]

@@magalahiguahan it really has opened up music for me trying to learn it! Like on other instruments. Im a dilettante at best. But i have so much fun playing it. It feels like it's in my blood. Everything with strings id like to have a go at.

I love it when the audience is singing as a whole while everyone is just whispering. God, I miss live music as well!

[@rgx6083]

They are touring again!

[@TheFalcro1234]

AMEN to that hopefully Summer in 2021 will have more live shows

[@TheOnlyValken]

I've watched this performance a couple dozen times now. It's my work anthem. I have tickets to see Punch Brothers in March. I can't imagine seeing such a powerful performance live. Gives me shivers just thinking about it.

[@Brannon1009]

Hope you got to see them

[@proberts4243]

I saw them live in Roanoke VA a few years ago. Outside venue. It was amazing. They are some of the most talented musicians in the business.

[@proberts4243]

When I saw them in Roanoke VA a few yrs ago the mics quit working the first two times they began to play Familiarity. Chris said “we’re going to try this as many times as it takes bc we know u folks want to hear this.” Third time was a charm. And it was amazing.

[@bjrnthorness1151]

saw them on this tour a couple weeks after this show. probably the best show i’ve been to.

[@joshuahubbard4919]

Possibly the most talented group of musicians anywhere....

[@KyleHurd]

Joshua Hubbard absolutely. Maybe an orchestra would have this caliber, but for just a regular band, they're the best, period.

[@ethaera]

Chris Thile has an amazing way of pulling together talent like this. Goat Rodeo Sessions is equally amazing - I'd give my left tit to see them live (Am going to see Punch Bros in a couple hours!! SO EXCITED!!) Will be my third time seeing Thile in one form or another, but first time seeing Punch Bros live.

[@Wonderous39]

Definitely, and by an alarming margin!

[@danashane]

Ha ha! Clean the stardust from your eyes and go listen to music

[@chandlertucker7843]

Ugh just never gets old

[@ajadeleye4970]

Chris's smile when the crowd gets excited to hear Familiarity 🥺

[@mananacl]

It's ironic. They're cheering for a song that is (partly) about loving songs you know

[@adamkane4217]

I was at this show, and had no idea it was being recorded. The new album is outstanding, and I love that they played some deep cuts! And all of us singing My Oh My is something I'll never forget.

[@mattdaaamon]

Ehhhh the new album is prob their weakest one.

Chris's stage presence is so strong I was blinded by his light ( currently the host of live from here) Rock on

[@CurlyReddesign]

I think I've watched this concert at least 20 times. And maybe just "New York City" another 20 times. Simply masterful.

[@tedhart7708]

Got to see these guys years ago in Lexington, Ky when they were How to Grow a Band. My son was a young aspiring mandolin player at the time and Chris was gracious enough to talk to him personally, sign his mandolin, and have a pic taken together. He's still one of my son's heroes.

[@bobbystreets2653]

That is quite beautiful if you think about it..1luv from me To you 🧡

[@dennyelrod513]

Saw them in 2017 at the Ryman but would have LOVED to see HTGAB. Their cover of "Heart in a Cage" is KILLER!

[@chrisvorster5951]

The Angel of Doubt is seriously funky, Familiarity exquisite, saw them live with Sarah Jarosz and Watchhouse this summer. Couldn’t hold back the tears for the shear beauty of the music. One satisfied fan here.

New York City flowing into Julep is freaking sublime

[@StephenBrennanGuitar]

unbelievable..... the greatest group ive ever seen, heard, experienced.. loved

[@aerovexa8794]

I had to sign into my account just to like this. Punch Brothers are such an amazing group, and even listening to songs I've heard the studio version of, theres something about seeing them play it. Chris is pretty much the god of my little music world.

[@seanmatthewking]

They are amazing.

[@K131399]

I discovered Chris during the lockdown and have been mesmerized by his Bach stuff but this is amazing!!

[@GITSVermeer]

FAMILIARITY must be one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@JenniferLittle-l7w]

Familiarity absolutely broke me when I saw them at Suwannee Roots Revival last year. It's one of those medicine songs I put on when things get too big. Seriously grateful for that tune right there.

[@anonymous_friend]

That's one that will give you goosebumps.

Saw this concert in Salt Lake City, love watching Chris. He has so much fun playing and has a lot of respect for his band mates.

This show (and band in general) is filled with so many fantastic musical moments it's absurd. Familiarity alone brings me to tears with its power and beauty.

[@imournhim]

The transition from Angel of Doubt to This Girl feels like they're saying, "Well, now that we've all looked deep into our souls and questioned everything we value, let's sing some sacrilege about a cute girl by way of retreat."

[@catkeys6911]

So what would you call this? It's a bluegrass type ensemble and style, but it's on another level in the clouds. I mean, bluegrass is always on a high level in musicianship, but this is unparalleled. I've been following Pikelny and Thiel for a few years, now- the violinist is incredible but I'm not as familiar with him, nor the bassist - but they're ALL top tier musicians, of course and obviously. I love these guys and I love KZbin Premium for enabling me to watch and listen to them.👍❤

[@thinkerguy4]

They've matured This Girl. Good addition at the end.

[@hst116tr]

In a pre-show performance before their NYC performance, someone asked them about "This Girl" and why they had seemingly changed it up. Chris pondered it for a moment and in their half-sentence way of communicating, Gabe reminded him they had had a long day in the studio and things were just not gelling that day. So as something of musical palate cleanser, they ripped through some high speed bluegrass piece then recorded the "Who's Feeling Young Now?" version in one take. It was something they didn't typically do and ended up really liking it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZqamIpoaNinkLc Chris admitted it was awfully fast on the album and the band generally nodding in agreement. To underscore that, Paul Kowart who generally keeps his expressions in a rear pocket, mocking drooped in exhaustion over his bass as Chris said that. I will say I appreciated the the tension, anxiety, energy, humorous desperation mixed in with the album version, but agree this live version has beautifully filled out. It's some true-ass genius that can bring two equally enchanting versions of the same song to us.

[@thinkerguy4]

The album version definitely drives harder. I think I prefer this one now.

[@Oleeyes]
