I've watched this a few dozen times and everyone's reactions are priceless. Chris Thile is busting a gut in the background. I still smile every time he hears them joking.
Man, I love how easily Chris just works with their style. Kenneth does a lot of emphasizing the 6th intervals in their chords which really gets them that moody feel. Chris is totally on board with it, and his extra harmony on the chorus was such a joyous sound.
This. At first listen it sounds like Thile is hitting bad notes, but then you see he’s just following these outsider chromatic things Kenneth is doing.
Could have sworn I commented this before but: I've fallen absolutely in love with this song after seeing this performance. Though part of me wishes for a third vocal part, instead of Chris doubling the harmony. Still, hard to improve on perfection. EDIT: after several listens I realized that Chris' part is a different harmony, so here I am correcting myself. They did in fact improve on perfection.
Anyone else notice that this sounds A LOT like gillian welch/dave rawlings? I cant place it exactly, but im hearing Revelator, Everything is Free, and maybe The Way it Will be?
Absolutely, and as good as these guys are it's hard for me to get past it. The guitars sound 100% like Dave and Gillian, and the vocals are very similar too.
Clouds move over Pontiac skies Their silent thunder matches mine I know this feeling from long ago And I wondered, was it gone? But now I know When she calls, don't send her my way When it hurts, you know it's the right thing Michigan's in the rear view now Keep your hands where I can see 'em You took the words right out of my mouth When you knew that I would need 'em What am I supposed to do now Without you? It's unannounced like you'd expect it Among broke-down breaklines and Motown records And all that's left is a blind reflection But you know what's coming and you regret it When she calls, don't send her my way When it hurt most, it's the right thing Michigan's in the rear view now Keep your hands where I can see 'em You took the words right out of my mouth When you knew that I would need 'em What am I supposed to do now Without you, Without you?
Beautiful beyond description but Mr. Chops on the right spent the whole tune with his back to the audience. I never once saw even a full profile; almost, while he was singing.
Maybe the first time I've ever heard Chris play a couple of wrong notes when he came into solo. Maybe he's feeling guilty for hijacking a Minnesota cultural institution and bringing it solely to New York? Minnesota's in the rear view now..... Wow, how did I find myself feeling bitter towards the otherwise likable Chris Thile?
@@leftcoastgal5134 Ya I absolutely love the evolution of the content, and Chris is an amazing artist. I was spoiled to see it live many times in St Paul so it's pretty upsetting to see a Minnesota institution go to a city that already has an embarrassment of riches in terms of cultural institutions. I'm admittedly bitter.
