The Big Push - Wade In The Water / Nina Simone / Trouble So Hard Reaction 

I really like the way they highlight everyone’s talent, like the great bands of the 70’s . Everyone played a part.

I really appreciate you appreciating each individual’s contribution to the band. They’re all brilliant solo, which could have meant fighting egos, but they just blend and vibe for the sake of music. That’s what I love about TBP.

Romaine is a killer in his own right. Amazing!

I knew, as someone who appreciates music (not just a reactor), you’d enjoy this one. Romaine neck bend gets me every time. I asked him about pedals once and how he gets his tone and he said he doesn’t really use pedals much (though he clicks into something here) and gets a lot of his tone from his fingers, and the fact that he uses his thumbnail to pluck gives a certain organic tone too. Good stuff mate.

In an interview with the singing coach and RU-vidr - The Charismatic Voice - Elizabeth Zharoff - Ren explains how he gets such good sound quality on his busking videos, it is a long video but well worth taking the time to watch it on your own not as a reaction video... Thanks for shining a light on these very talented lads....

Your face just lights up as soon as Romain steps out man! It’s beautiful

I love the spirit in you. It is reflected in your eyes and your speaking voice is so soothing to listen to while you appreciate and react to Ren and his bands many talents. Thanks for bringing this one up to react to.

You can tell by the millions of views how popular this is! Love that YOU love it too. These guys are like one organic soul playing together. Would like you to hear the Big Push, What Kind of Woman is This. They alk perform. Ren dies some Jimi in it!

Watch them do Roadhouse Blues, but it has to be the video where Goran is wearing a black shirt😁

I swear Ren asked Romain a question, and Romain's guitar answered.

It’s bad ass because Romain makes it sound bad ass! 🎸🔥

I had a huge smile on my face watching you ! There is just that “ thing” , that something very special about these guys.

Same drummer Glen. The guy fixing his guitar strap is Goran the other singer, guitar player bass player. They’re all great!!

These guys are just magic together!! They are each fabulous in there own right too. Enjoying your channel😊 Hope it grows.

I always check out reactions to this one! They’re on top of their game that day and all get to shine. I’m partial to anything blusey they do because they do it so well.

Wade in the Water is an old, old, old song, perhaps from o150 or 2 hundred years ago? Ed to add, whenever I see the solo where Romain in his colourful pants, goes over to Ren on the ground and they play to each other, dipping the guitar necks and heads (?), I am reminded of birds in a mating dance!! It cracks me up every time. A bit like those exotic birds species where the males form groups to battle it out in dancing routines.

Loved seeing someone who really gets it reacting to this. Your face/smile says it all! ❤

I love, love this song by The Big Push. Thanks for doing it

Amazing performance for sure. Thanks for reacting to this music video.

Again, loved your musician's viewpoint! I'm sitting here watching this while eating breakfast--and getting chills from the urgency of this performance! Yes, Ren really takes on the role of director and does it well, as he does in his videos. I think it was in one of his videos, when talking about producing a proof-of-concept musical story video for Netflix, that he said one of his dreams was to be a director. He said it with a big smile on his face, as illustrated by this emoji: 😄

Great reaction to this phenomenal performance! Love how they all get their time to shine ❤️❤️

Ren has said that he spends hours meticulously mixing his own busking videos as well as those of The Big Push. Here is how he described the recording process in the comments of one of TBP’s videos: “Line inputs running from each of the busking amps into a H4N recorder. Then the H4N condenser mic placed in front of the amps to capture the ambience of the street. Then another iPhone mic recording the drums (just set on voice recorder). Then mix all that together in post on Logic with some light compression and EQ to make everything pop, and voila!”

Thank you 🙏❤ Izzy Izenstain ❤ for your 🎸🎸🎸🥁 The Big Push - Wade in the Water/Trouble so hard reaction! #thebigpush #ren #rengill #gorrankendall #romainaxisa #glennchambers #wadeinthewater #troublesohard #brighton #shipstreet #busking Wade In The Water isn't just a Nina Simone song, it is much much older from the times of the underground railroad or even older than that. It is a song that inconspiciously tells black slaves that there are search dogs about and should they have thoughts of fleeing, remember to "wade in the water", to make the dogs lose their scent. (There are a few more of these coded message spiritual songs) It is featured in the longest ever running muscial (> 60 years) called Revelations, that nearly no white person ever seems to have heard about. Here on YT there there are Alvin Ailey ballet takes of the musical songs ru-vid.com?search_query=Revelations+musical+ballet Trouble So Hard is a 1937 Vera Hall song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r9SENzRLk_M.html

The sun is always shining when the Big Push plays! 🔥👏👏👏

Sympathy for the devil next please please please❤❤❤

I think this is my fav performance by The Big Push at the moment. It changes, but right now, I listen to it every day. ❤❤❤

Loved watching you appreciate these guys! They are so good together and you can just tell how much fun they are having! Check out Bongo Bong it’s a live session of them jamming on the rooftop of their flat and you will get to hear Romain sing in his native language 🤗 Romain has some really wonderful solo music as well! Thanks for sharing this with us!❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

I love your input on this video, both from the perspective of musicianship as well as fashion, lol. Seriously, I enjoyed this so much that I'm sharing it right now!

I love this performance and band so much! Ren has a new song premiering Thursday at 7 UK time!

Really enjoyed watching how you enjoyed this! I must have watched this video about a hundred times, and still love it 😍 Thanks for your reaction 😊

🔥🔥🔥❤✌

You could totally ask Romain for an interview and talk guitars and playing!

My guess is that Ren (et al) works on the sound extensively in post- which is to say it sound much better here than it did on the street.

Goran the guy who's swapping the strap for Ren normally plays bass guitar. Goran likes his strap longer than Ren so plays the guitar lower down & Ren prefers his guitar higher so that's with the strap change.

❤❤

Great reaction. Thanks 🎉

Romain axsisa -in the mood for love ❤️

Romain Axisa - love without feelings 🔥

Bongo Bong 😊 is a good one

I knew you would love this 😊 it's one of my favorite busking videos from them. I just love the way they flow together and communicate. Plus they sound incredible 😂💜💜

I love watching you enjoy this!!!❤

Such an awesome jam!

REN and the Big Push always 🔥🔥. Please try Romain's retake of the classic GEORGIA ON MY MIND Busking solo or some of his instrumental's like RAINWATER or BLUE or GREY 🎶🎵🍯🤌🔥🙏✌️

Very nice ✌🏼👍🏽🐷

I think the baseline is the same as Nina's version of 'feeling good' - their last track (actually I think the whole trio of songs aligns with her motif) Cheers!

Really love your reaction to this (and all the other Ren stuff I have seen you do!) I am thinking that the guitar strap belonged to the other guy because he usually plays bass and they were switching it out because on this song Ren was playing bass. Keep it up! Appreciate it! 🙂

Other great Big Push originals; ❤ Swansong ❤ Dignity ❤ It's alright

A) Is it really legal to make a base make that kinda sounds? I mean, someone could maybe really FEEL something listening to this, and we can't have that, now can we?! B) that baseline gets me thinking about everything from the Spencer Davis Group and the Animals to BB King and Leadbelly. I really enjoy your reactions! Thank you! 🖤 Much love From STHLM, Sweden

11:13, here's how Romain's guitar sounds coming from the amp and recorded on a phone. It's their (red suspenders) "I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion" mashup on 5 June 2021. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vEBqXit3V8U.html

Nice one mate ,maybe Englishman in New York next.

Yes it's a great listen. BTW, have you checked out Romain's newest release Time After Time? It's definitely worth it.

Do Swan Song 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Don't know if anyone has requested the big push doing sympathy for the devil, but it's quite amazing 🔥 Perhaps blasphemous for some, but i actually enjoyed it more than the original.

I think you’ll enjoy The Big Push’s cover mashup “What Kind of Woman is This?” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Rpbg9FG1-o.htmlsi=uyu1I_4KoVaN9ihw
