I've watched this video probably 50 times, and it never ceases to amaze me. Yeah Edgar steals the show at 3:04, but the way he is passing it off to Yo-Yo, the way Yo-Yo is subtly "taking" the lead, giving the lead back to Chris after the climax, and then Chris handing it back to the beautiful Mandolin theme with Stuart. These guys know how to create music by sharing the limelight. Unparalleled talent.

It's just simply amazing to SEE musicians getting completely CONSUMED by what they're doing. And you go further and further down into the musician's mind as the song gets heavier and heavier, and then INSTANTLY we're snapped back into this world when the song comes to a close. It really shows you all of the emotion and passion they possess that's just underneath the surface waiting to explode outward given the right mix of magic and energy. One of my all-time favorite albums :)

Whether he’s playing solo, with Nickel Creek, with The Punch Brothers (the absolute best group on the planet), or with Yo Yo Ma or whoever. He inspires me. As a musician and singer myself, my time has mostly past. Chris is a picture of what I once dreamed of being. He’s just amazing. Hopefully be lucky enough to be able to meet him one day. If not, I’ll go see him perform every opportunity I have, watch him on KZbin, and listen to his recordings. 🎶 ⚾️ 😌

I've heard this on Pandora several times over the last few months, usually playing more in the background as I work. Each time, it has caught my attention and I've looked up from my work to see, what's this playing? I finally noticed this video on KZbin, and played it, this time cranking up the volume and really immersing myself in it. This is such beautiful musical chemistry between these four performers. We are so fortunate to be able to experience something like this so easily in this day and age. It is indeed magic.
