      I don't think that's a good thing... the music was supposed to be made for everyone but that kind of thing just goes to show that Jacob's songs (which are as innovative as possible) end up being just for a musical elite. I'm a musician and I know the more you learn about music, the less you can appreciate it in its simplicity, so, if most of Jacob's fans are musicians, it just goes to show that they only care about the scientific part of the music and don't care much about the artistic part (I don't know, that's just my point of view, it could be imensally wrong).

      @@davifritzen5609 I agree with you to some degree; it's not really his intention, but some of his music can be inaccessible to people who are less familiar with music. But I think songs like Hideaway, In My Room, and even All Night Long (and much more) can be enjoyed purely by feeling.

    The complexities of this performance boggles the mind. Jacob is transporting the one man show to dizzying heights.His musical taste and prowess work like he hired. the tastiest funky side men in jazz.If that's not enough add the magical musical 12 voice vocal instrument doing take 6 +6 constant changing chord dissonant and resolve inversions.Now the twisting layered polyrhythms and your brain has been forever changed .Once your exposed to this musical miraculous octopi you will be left in awe.Jacob does not dumb down his listeners, he educates them by showing in realtime how he builds the layers.His is a new breed of hybrids who easily climb musical Mount Everest's wearing swim trunks.His DNA is lit up and acts as a beacon for others to follow.Gone are the singular players multi tasking is the wave sweeping in.Jacob is riding on a hundred foot wave and much higher he can go only the universe knows.

      He has a bunch of great sample, loop and (probably phenomenal ) memory for organising them - live.

    Through the lens of someone who was at this show, and then at his Sept. 29 show at Berklee (and who has been smitten with JC's talent all through the many vids posted before and since), I must say that the shows vary by a great deal, largely due to a loosening of JC's approach and a gradual mastery of the prodigious technical apparatus which he and Ben have erected. Arrangements, though approximately the same, became looser over the summer. This gig was the very first which featured the full complement of machinery and technique which has been in the process of perfection since then. It's great, and complex, in ways that are impossible to fathom unless you can see the whole picture. Only experience can teach a talent like his what needs to be simpified and what can be elaborated. It's a process. I've seen no-one as cabable of getting there as Jacob Collier. Thanks, JC, Ben, and everyone!

    Just watched a current video of Jacob answering questions on music theory which was fabulous. Went back to this video today (June 2021) and it still amazes. Jacob is so inventive and playful he just cracks me up. I end up laughing thru most of this video at his amazing harmonies, his preposterous use of timing (he seems able to hear beats the rest of us humans can't comprehend), his multi-instrument proficiency...it's all just too over the top but also inherently joyful. Glad you're still at it Jacob.

  • @JohnNyerges

    Been following him for quite a while. A great jaw-dropping talent to be sure, but the comment that the future won't need bands?...I totally disagree.

      OK, there is perhaps one riff that's appreciably loose, the last piano bit in the latin, and it's more a balance issue anyway I feel. But have you ever tried live looping? It is incredibly hard, and no-one in the world is doing it on this level. Either you don't know that, or you do, but you're just mean spirited. Jacob takes it in his stride which is the real mark of the pro and he is, as everyone already said, a genius.
