Simply the best. Seeing these guys in person has to be a trip. I'm all of 83 years on this planet and love this sound. What awesome composition and musicianship.
I saw them for the first time a few nights ago and the only way I've been able to convey to people what it felt like (in the front row) is that I was strapped to the side of a rocket ship of funk and taken into the stratosphere.
Even though I’m a guitarist by trade, I’m a huge fan of great drummers. Petar is high on my list of the drummers to watch, listen to, and learn from. Musicians who don’t pay close attention to the percussion are doomed to mediocrity. Petar and Cory, thanks for the inspiration!
This band has a mix live that if you play music its one of those things no mater what your doing you'll play good. Their live sound is one of the most impressive things I've heard live. Unreal unreal unreal how consistent and good it is no matter the venue. They, bar none have it down to some science I'm not sure other bands know yet. ITS SORCERY I SWEAR TO GOD. I want to play live with this sound on stage it must feel fucking amazing
ok, i wanted to go to the jazz open to see fanta 4. after all, i've known the band since 1993. i read that cory wong also plays there. so i quickly watched a video or two of cory on youtube. then they played live at 6pm and i almost freaked out. i can hardly imagine how much blood, sweat and tears it must have cost as a musician to acquire such skills. Since then I almost only listen to cory wong. that's addicting. 😁 and my wife and son love it too 🤩
@@Sadowsky46they are local Heroes (so to say) and played there once in a while if I’m not mistaken.. But that doesn’t really answer your question, right? 😉
Thanks so much for sharing. This is a killer set. Cory's new solos are deep. My man has definitely been practicing. Crazy to think players like at that level can get "better".
Words can’t describe how great this show is. Everything. Band, sound mix, collective performance. Seeing them in February. If it’s a fraction as good as this, it will still be AMAZING!!
I've been a Cory diehard for a long time -- I'll watch any new live version of any new tune, because Cory's vehicles are the gift that keep giving. The Petar, Kevin and Jay solos on Sidestep were just something I was not expecting! Much elevated respect for Jay especially - that Wah trumpet solo dude come on!

😁😄 Oh yes, but maybe the stage is made in USA, Japan or France? Maybe Poland or UK? Everything is international these days. But the talent of the boys really weighs heavily!
@@alexa.2072 In germany we mostly use Nivtec stage platforms. Those are made in germany. Espicially with products as big and heavy as stages its not always efficient to ship it around the globe.
@@alexa.2072 You know what Mark Twain said to "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.". This a perfect example. You probably should have left that comment alone...
Cory and his band are the incarnation of the accomplished groove and brilliant entertainers at the highest level - even when performing in pajamas... 😊
this is who you are ...energic riff on guitar .... amazing job and so bright ...clear. ...ALIVE ...RIFF MAN makes me move...you play nice rock/blues solo for a funky man
CORY WONG...NOOOOOO BRO😂😂😂. My wife has to complain everyday about the utube noise in our sound bar!! I play ur videos everrryyyy daaayyy mahn!! i love ur work. This show in particular, is a hell of a banger. Bassist n drummer, bigup🤗🤗
How did Cory not make the Rolling Stone list for best guitars?!? Sure he's a great song writer and band leader but damn, he's an incredible guitarist and performer. Give him is due!!! He is exceptional and deserves more recognition.
Boy, Kenni’s solo was like a dream….and all these guys standing behind him, backing him so beautifully…. Every single musician on this stage is absolute world-class. What a concert!
Cory got up late that day, he didn't have time to change out of his pajamas. Joking aside. extraordinary show! Horns are as cool as Power of Tower and the drummer is from another planet, also the Keyboarder
Ich hab’s durch RU-vid eben zufällig entdeckt und finde die Musik richtig klasse! 🤩 Fun Fact: Ich komme aus der Nähe von Stuttgart und höre diese wundervolle Musik im Urlaub, weit weg vom Ländle.. 😉
If I had popped some E or LSD before listening to this, I would've been blasted off to the nearest galaxy and back cos of the sheer explosiveness of this gig. Which I'm most certainly gonna be doing soon, what a gig, what a gig, WHAT...A..... GIG
Wow great music, as always with Cory Wong. And the poor musicians have to stand in the sun. I know that, I've been on stage in the sun a few times myself...really intense 😀
Super Performance 👍👍👍, nur schade, das die Hälfte der Zuschauer eher wegen Fanta 4 da waren und deshalb noch nicht auf ihren Plätzen. Weltklasse Brass-Sektion!!!
Ist halt, finde ich, traurig für ein sogenanntes Jazz-Festival, dass einer DER Künstler aus der Funk-/Jazz-Szene nur eine Nebenrolle bekommt. Aber absolut geniales Konzert.
Stark! Ich war auch dort und mir ging es auch so. Ebenfalls Dauergrinsen. Das Fanbta 4 Publikum war enttäuschend, hatte ich aber auch schon befürchtet.
