Bela Fleck and Chris Thile "Off the Top," Grey Fox 2016 Oak Hill, NY 

I can't believe this has only 62k views. As a mandolin player and fan of both of these men, any stringed instrument player should.see this as one of the greatest performances by a duo of all time. Love it.

Sickest thing ever!

Had to revisit one of my favorite tunes of all time... And, my favorite tune of Bela Fleck's ! Even without the bass, (from the album version), this feels so special and Ultimate Ultimate Ultimate!

Playing like this is beyond the comprehension of mere mortals like me 🤯

Captivating from start to finish, and so in sync with each other. These are two astonishingly gifted musicians.

Bela Fleck, Chris Thile, Julian Lage, Mark O'Connor and Yo-Yo Ma, I'll bring peace to the middle east of you guys make an album

I was there! Amazing and beautiful! My best memory of that Greyfox. If only the people around me, would have been quiet and listened, instead of babbling on about stuff they could discuss at any other time , they might have enriched their life's and not disrupted those of us who are immersed in the music.

Camera angle had Microphone blocking view of Thile right hand magic, dang it! But thanks for sharing this incredible performance by these maestros!

Notes falling like rain from heaven!

Lifts my spirit to levels I never knew. Thank you so much! In Ukrainian: Дуже дякую!💖

Gotta love the empty music stand. My favorite on Little Worlds. Would love to see the album lineup

I somethings want to shed a tear when I listen to musical genius like what these who possess. It is hard to put into words. I'll just say perfection!

These two should definitely do a record together

Holy sh*t Batman. That was intense. Brilliant.

So glad they got together...

No words. NO WORDS!

Wonderful pickinby2ofthebest,,!

Words cannot do justice to this. Amazing.

I enjoyed the time I spent listening to all of this recording. Larry

Wow! Masters! Thank you!

Two outstanding masters at work. An amazing pairing.

Wow. Just wow. I have no words. 😳🤷🏼‍♂️ I don’t even know how they do that. 🤯

One of my favorites.

I've been looking for a quality live version of this combo track for a long time. Great share. This is amazing! So thankful for music like this

Bèla Fleck knows how a clock tics. Man he is good.

Speechless 😍

Top of the class right there! A M A Z I N G

2 of my most favorite musicians - playing together

Amazing as always!!

This is what happens when two instrumental geniuses collaborate !!

Just lovin these two,Thankyou for your performance.

Great combo! These guys are awesome.

This is an example of how its done

WOW, just WOW!!!! Bravo gentlemen

Only aliens like this could be that in sync!

Bela's Superman shirt is appropriate here...as it would appear neither of them is human.

wonderful! Thanks!

This is unbelievable!!!

WOW, WOW, WOW

Super,bravo et merci !

Grt - Thanks for posting!

Wow!

Ultimate

Can there be a better due on the planet? I mean what two musicians could you put together that speak the same language better than these two? This is like high bluegrass, High English, or German.

Two of my fvs together loverly. Bela is so composed and Chris is almost. He is usually so animated. I could listen to them for 2 days straight until I had to g o fall in love in the porta Potty Line;

aah thile.....your my hero

If this was a movie scene, it would be De Niro and Pacino in the dinner scene in Heat, or Brando and Steiger in the taxi scene in On the Waterfront.

Unbelievable!

Oh, these guys have to record together

Wow! 🔥

I’m speechless, master players in a time of mediocrity. Wow!

I don't want to live in a world where Chris ever makes a mistake.

Like fine wine...better with age.

gawd damn that's so pretty!

there are not enough notes for these guys

I love how there's the music stand with nothing on it! lol

Prog Blue grass. The best genre no one knows.

Miss the 11 intro...

better than yoga for peace of mind

Did anyone else watch this in "deer in the headlights" form?

PFM! Simple as that.

now they just need to get John Popper in on this and they would have a holly trinity of music

If only they could have missed one note just to give a proof that they are human .

Awesome version. But the audio is switched. I'm rearing Bela Fleck more in the right.

Ummmm....Holy shit!!!

It's like Mozart and Bach boned something fierce...

In case you’re new to this music - Thile rhymes with really. As in - REALLY?

Put 2 vituoso's toghter and this is what you get. Amazing Huh

Thile is such a spaz lol

It's funny how everyone thinks we live in an age of mediocrity. I think we just live in a time of mass comparison.

I had to make sure I wasn't watching this at 2x speed

how

As the king says to Mozart in Amedeus, “Too many notes.” 😝

wow Very intense. it has a slight steve reich vibe to it

Just add Brad...

I hate the word genre...primarily because something like this couldn't be defined by one.

Marry me Christopher

I dunno. I think these guys play too slow. I guess its just me.

Who actually disliked this lol

Banjo drowning out Mandolin

Two incredible masters of their instruments sharing wonderfully in harmony together. I was at this festival and saw the full set live.

Masters

wow!!!
