"Meditation" // Live At Montreux Jazz Festival 

For a guitarist, some stuff you see is “impressive”. This is inspiring. It really makes you think about how you would have that instrument as an extension of yourself.

xD love Yohannes face at around 9:49, like he can't believe how deep in the pocket they are ^^

Cory and his band are nothing less than incredible.

This song has become one of my top five “most beautiful songs” ever made list. Sitting hear on the first day of 2024 with the stereo and a cup of coffee. It’s going to be okay…Thank you, Cory!

this song made me cry... such an emotional experience! amazing music!!

a happy tear or two with this one

Wow. that was on par with Peter Frampton. Bravo!

So cool! It's a good song. Thank you so much, Cory🎵💐🎸💐👍👏👏👏

Insane run, fellas! Whole band was so patient and controlled. Absolutely nailed it. small buzz in the audio when the band kicks in, or is it me? It seems to fade in and out, but is quite distracting. Performance literally still brought me to weeping. Keep fucking shit up, Cory. Love from the 850. Come to the Gulf Coast! P.S. Derek Trucks colab.??!!

my favorite Cory Wong tune! Amazing stuff. Less is more!

Nice solo guitar work but I was hoping for a little Tony Jobim.

Cheguei Primeiroooooo

Still miss Sonny :(

Mr. Cory Wong, "Meditation" is my favorite tune in your entire repertoire 🤗💖!!! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 !!!

One of my fav CW tracks. Excellent performance!

Spiritually high, a contrast to hilarious and ultrafast moments of the show. Cory's music IS complete.

RU-vid, why would you allow me to like this video just once.

I could never possibly get tired of this song. Every version lives and breathes on its own. So, soooo good.

Man, what dynamics! First time hearing Cory really cut loose!

Literally brought tears to my eyes. This tune has become more and more subtle over the years. Beautiful performance.

Great snare sound, great bass holding’ it down throughout, great keys accompaniment, great build and arc, great mix! Just beautiful all around.

'But he's just a rhythm guy' lol. I know this song has been out for a few years now, but this is a big middle finger to the RS250 list

That whole show was amazing! Can we get the whole thing, Cory?

gosh, I don't know how often I've watched this in the last month... just so so lovely... the only thing I'm not that big of a fan of, is the mixing at around 10:30 or maybe its in the arrangement of the horns there, but the guitar is really doubling with the horns in a way, where it suddenly gets "thiner" then before instead of "clearer" and "wider" which I guess its supposed to be. I believe at 10:45 its better with the horns filling the frequencies up top a little bit better. somehow a bit more spreading would be the thing I guess...

One of the best songs of the decade by one of the best guitarists of ever. The filming, build up, and performance in general is done masterfully. Everything sits so well with everything else, and it all comes together to form this beautiful piece of art. Here's for many more years of Cory Wong

This beyond awesome song played live is every time an epic exceptional emotional journey which is being created on that specific moment. I had the privilege to witness his ‘Utrecht-NL’ version last October of which I posted the video on RU-vid. I really hope that from that 2023 European autumn tour a compilation will be released!!!

This music makes me glad to be alive; to be able to feel the way this music make me feel !!

Saw this at Tilburg, Such an amazing piece of music! It's so beautiful!

This is the exact definition of a slow burn. Freaking perfect!

That is just unreal. Thanks for sharing, Cory.

When you sweat that much, you earned it. Fuckin amazing bro.

insane performance 🔥

Eres un puto crack....¡¡¡¡¡¡

oh yeah he's a quirked up white boy goated with the sauce

3 minutes in before I saw he was not using a delay.

no hay mejor version q esta

9:10- 9:37 "I've got blisters on me fingers!" Like really dude got damn

This right here is why guitar magazines write about Cory Wong.

쌋다

Cómo siempre dándolo todo, gracias por la excelente música y más que eso por la Magia que generas al tocar.

I’m currently learning this song remind me in the comments to keep yall updated

Cory at Montreux - well deserved guys! What an amazing track!

This song really take me to the nirvana 🧘🏼‍♂️Is awesome 💪🏼💪🏼

Subtle………………………………………………………..T

Man, I watched this standing on the train commute back home. Chills all over my body😮

there's something about this song that moves me. every. single. time. chills. first time i saw CW w my son in dallas back in november of '21, this was played and it was a very emotional moment. there's a beauty in this man's craftsmanship that is matched by few. thank you for posting. see you in february.

He is so intense and totally devoted to the moment. It's awesome to hear and see. It doesn't get better than this.

Cory, Petar, and Kevin sync so well together, the college buddy really comes out in this tune in the best way.

Crikey, how hot was it on stage, Cory's sweating buckets!

Man this song just keeps getting better! Can't wait to see where it's at the next time I catch Cory live!

So much respect for that guy, what a complete artist he is !

Floored me in London in October, just great

Ah Love love love!!! Beginning to end, awesome performance!

The title of this track is so fitting, CW is up there with the greats, so much feeling in his playing here!

I'm really scared of him. He is not only funky, but also can easily play epic solos. How many guitar boys' lives will be messed up from now on...🔥

Insane run, fellas! Whole band was so patient and controlled. Absolutely nailed it. small buzz in the audio when the band kicks in, or is it me? It seems to fade in and out, but is quite distracting. Performance literally still brought me to weeping. Keep fucking shit up, Cory. Love from the 850. Come to the Gulf Coast! P.S. Derek Trucks colab.??!!

One of the best bands on the planet - if not the Best !~

Stop it, damn you beautiful man. Holy moley this was so #^+^%#€ good. Thank you.

Have Sonny and Cory parted company? I haven't seen him on shows lately.

All I can say is that if you like Cory's vids but you haven't seen him live yet, multiply your YT experience by 1 000 000 and then you maybe, maybe get near the level of THE experience you'll have at his live performance. I know, because I already had to realize, how awesome they are live when I saw them at Brno.

great cory

OH MY GAWD! He went sooooooo DEEEEEEP with that one. Wow! WOW! WOW! COWABUNGAH SHAZAAAAM!

its usually fun stuff that Cory produces, but once in a while there are those complete diamonds emerging from live performances, that simply completely take you away. 'Ellie', then 'Home' and now this one. Nice, man! Greetings from Europe

Such a clean sound from that Strat, it's wonderful

I was there!😀

Spellbinding solo intro - no words. Beneath all the crazy showmanship, Cory shows just how it is done.

Still one of if not my favorite Wong Song! I close almost every set of mine with it

Makes me cry, this 70's rocker. Thanks Cory for being a true musician. Will be seeing you on 12/10/23!

Love Meditation and love to see the love for Meditation. How many of y'all listen to Phish? Harry Hood, Slave to the Traffic Light, Reba etc. are very similar.

Somehow, I was expecting Mingus' "Meditations".

This was like a whole new version of Cory Wong I've never experienced before. I'm shaken to my core by how masterful that build up was. Every moment seemed so fragile yet intense and you could see cory feel that emotion as well as he carefully chooses and places the next notes in succession. I feel the same rush he does, and i hope to experience that same captivating moment performing in front of crowds myself ❤

When you whipped out Meditation at the concert I saw you at last year... I literally cried. Meditation is one of your most meaningful songs to me and one of my favorite songs ever. Longing for the day I get to see you in concert again.

Nothing like an ad for Lowe’s right in the middle of the video

I agree with the last post. Awsome…. As a lover of guitar yes this is awsome

Stunning

Thank you for the music, Cory Wong and all this cool guys ❤❤❤

This is beautiful Cory. Thanks for this gift. So stoked about the whole album / show.

This song and the solo is always an incredible journey. Amazing, Cory. Thanks to you and your band for doing what you do.

Another great version of Meditation. God I love this tune!
