Hey, for every 1100 decent people, there are 10 who simply want to divide the whole world. And unfortunately at this particular time, they all seem to be tRump supporters. I apologize for bringing the political realities of 9/20 into such an amazing performance by such talented people... but here we are. I feel certain that they will understand.
Three things that stood out to me: 1. Chris and Jon are amazing of course, but Critter is really killing it here! 2. Brittany appearing to play the ascending string part at the end, even though I couldn't hear it too well, was the icing on the cake. The song's not complete without it! 3. The wordless vocal part is beautiful and I would love to hear Punch Brothers incorporate that into one of their live performances.
Just checked it out. It is a different feel. There's something about the silence that elevates this piece higher for me. The silence feels more pronounced. Both versions are great though.
Good GAWD I miss this show. 😭 It was a damn TREASURE TROVE of talent. What's funny (now) is I was a YUUUGE A Prairie Home Companion fan for eons. When Garrison Keillor announced his retirement and that Chris Thile would be the new host... I was NOT exactly thrilled. (Prob goes without saying that I knew exactly SQUAT about Chris Thile, Punch Bros, Nickel Creek, etc before this.🤦♀️) I was even less thrilled when I found out the show would focus more on live, collaborative music performances. Then came the Keillor "scandal" and the name of *my show* changed to Live From Here.🤬 I wanted my "Norwegian humor" (an oxymoron if there ever was one!) and cheesy skits & rambling storytelling back! I never intended to become a fan. I didn't even plan on listening! But I'm lazy and a creature of habit so I kept "accidentally" listening to the same station & time slot every week and... DAAAAMMMMMMNNNNN!!!😱 I heard all these A-FUCKING-MAZING artists & collabs with Thile on the show.😳 Most I'd never heard of. Then I started down that rabbit hole, googling Thile and all these different artists. I've had my mind blown *clean off* its perch innumerable times now.🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I grew an INSANE appreciation for the unabashed, unbridled spaz-genius-virtuoso Chris Thile is. Dude can play *anything* with *anyone.* The show this video was taken from with Jon Batiste gave me the same mad love, respect, and appreciation for him as Thile.🤯 What a gift this has been.❤️ And now, thanks to CoVid19... this show has been cancelled.💔
