- Another 3280 trees planted!!!
With your help we are now up to 39360 trees planted with our music! This is so cool!
The other day we went out for some street performing in Hanoi, Vietnam. And we finally got a full length performance video of “Hotel California” for you guys.
Hope you enjoy it 🙂
All of our music is available at:

I am impressed that this has been up for over a year and Don Henley's minions haven't come and put the strikedown on you! Good job!
I know. There’s so many great covers of this song on CZcams with way more views than this one. We are paying the rights, so everything should be fine😁
Bravo!@@Cascademelodies
Henley's issue isn't that no one is allowed to cover Eagles songs, but that artists who wish to do so need to go about it correctly. He blocked a cover of 'The End of the Innocence' by rock band Okkervil River, mainly because the band changed some of the lyrics before recording it, both without permission...
😂😂😂
I dont think they can take it down because its a live performance rather than a recording so falls outside of copyright
Never heard of a Chapman Stick. Beautiful music these two are making.
Check out Tony Levin, who's got to be the most instantly recognizable player. A bassist who's played the instrument with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson among others, and founder of the Stick Men, for a few suggestions.
@@peterbadore1338❤❤❤
Tony Levin is still the most well known stick player out there, overall there’s only 2000-3000 players in the world:)
@@Cascademelodies Thank you for your reply, and for posting.
@@Cascademelodiesyou make it look easy
They took an iconic song and demonstrated how beautiful it is. Two very talented artists. Thanks so much 👍👏👏👏👏👍
I’m glad you enjoyed this version. It is so much fun to pick a song apart and try to interpret it all instrumental to really expose the melody.😁
@@Cascademelodies Used to be a guy years ago, at Rundle Mall here in Adelaide, played a Chapman Stick. Haven't seen him for sometime now. I wonder where he went to...his playing was brilliant as well. Nice fella to chat with.
@brianmorris8045 We know him, you’re talking about Andy Salvanos, we met him once in Adelaide:)
Что эта палка со струнами может извлечь музыкального? Усилитель- главный атрибут. В нём происходит всё самое главное.
❤
Too bad I can only give one “like” for this incredible rendition.
That’s such a sweet comment, thank you:)
CZcams finally gets a suggestion right....I have never heard of this instrument before, but an absolutely amazing sound....very talented young women and man
Glad you like it!
Look up Tony Levin. The guy's a stick monster.
Music doesn't have any borders. How beautiful to hear this song rendered in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Just when I thought this song couldn’t sound any better along comes a more powerful , beautiful sound with these two playing Chapman sticks ! Amazingly beautiful! Thank you !
Wow, thank you!☺️
There is a video of a lady playing it on the Chinese gongzehn (not sure of spelling) that is equally as mesmerizing as this performance.
The CZcams algorithm has favoured me by sending me this today! In the right hands (such as these), Chapman Sticks can make a beautiful piece of music sound sublime!
That’s fantastic! Our CZcams channel is finally getting some attention, so we are very excited about that😁
Same here.....they've hit a lot of Home Runs with me.
This is exquisite!!! ❤❤
I wanna say me too 😅
Beautiful work. Now can the girl come and teach me how to play?
Only one I've heard playing the Stick is Tony Levin with King Crimson, where it was pretty much the bass. These two use the instrument to its full potential. I was a little worried they weren't going to do the harmony triplets at the end, which, to me, is one of the most powerful parts of the song. But he played them perfectly. Great rendition of a great old favorite, thank you.
Really glad you enjoyed it. I always love haw the melody came across on our instruments. Thanks for the nice comment.
@Xix1326 I've seen King Crimson twice with Tony Levin. Do you honestly think the only thing Tony did on the Chapman stick was just playing bass notes?
You weren't paying attention. You need to do more research on Tony Levin.
The two young people in this video did a great job, but they pale and comparison to old pros like the aforementioned Mr. Levin AND Trey Gunn.
@@osbornvonpulaski1642the only time I have seen one of these instruments was a during David Sylvian concert at the Royal Albert Hall, playing with Robert Fripp and Trey Gunn. And I think it’s fair to say that almost everyone pales when compared to Tony Levin, so I think these musicians in this were amazing.
Very well done!
@@randomjasmicisrandomYou should check out Nick Beggs.
A beautiful rendition Hotel California and Eagles song. I've been in music for many years and this is the first time I've seen this instrument. And it's beautiful and these two are awesome at it
Thank you so much, I’m happy you enjoyed our arrangement of this classic song😁
The instrument we are playing is called a Chapman stick, only about 8000 have been made so far.
Well , that deserved a much bigger audience . I would have been blown away to come upon such beautifil musicianship in a street setting. Very, very well played !
Thank you so much! we love playing in the street and seeing peoples reaction to something as exotic and new as the Chapman stick😁
There must have been a giant guitarist 🎸 that did a gig smashed his guitar and was left with the fret board, hence Chapman sticks!!! all joking aside the music is totaly awesome and sounds great❤
The deep soft melodic heart of an iconic rock song exposed. Marvelous, sublime, ethereal, solid. Thank you
Very nicely said, thank you for your nice comment:)
the absence of strumming puts indeed the melody in front, and I love the Chapman stick harmonics 😍
Wow that was simply beautiful I love it. Thanks so much love this song.
Thanks for watching:)
I worked at a music store that was the first dealer for the Chapman Stick. Emmett, the inventor, would come to the store and give workshops. He did a performance at the NAMM show (music industry convention) that was extraordinary.
Amazing! He was such a genius! We had a chance to meet him once before, such a great experience
I saw Emmett playing with Les Demerle (sp?) on drums, and the two of them were a complete band. This would be at a guitar store in San Jose in about 1978 or so. It was quite a demonstration.
I was introduced to Chapman Stick by listening to Fergus Marsh who played for Bruce Cockburn.
I worked at a music store for several years. They had one of the original Chapman Sticks. I used to take it home all the time and play it. Owner offered to sell it to me for Four hundred bucks. I never got around to it. Was always a huge regret of mine. I loved the damn thing so much.
400 bucks is a steal! Nowadays they go for $3500-4000.
Still worth it 😁
@@Cascademelodies yes I know. it's why one of the reasons it was a regret. he sold it after i left... I was sooooo bummed even before it became valuable.
This was fantastic. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Thank you so much!! ☺️
absolutely amazing... what a pair of musicians.
Thank you so much:)
Wow! Really, really beautiful! Great sound!
A lovely couple playing one of the most iconic songs and for the most noblest of causes. This is what it's all about! Until that shriveled up toad Henley blocks it of course. But before he does, a big Bravissimo for your talents!
Henley better go try to block the Jethro Tull song the Eagles ripped it off from, too
What beautiful instruments I have never seen before. The best version of Hotel California I have heard.
Look up "King Crimson" they have used the stick in their rock music for decades now.
Thank you so much. I have been playing the Chapman Stick for 18 years and it still has remained just as popular. It’s amazing how few people know about it.
Agree, 1 of the best. But look up Moyun or search this hash gf6v59c5yuY
I agree with you. Beautiful version. There's another version I love. Listen to Moyun, on her channel "Moyon official". She plays Hotel California on a chinese guzheng. That young Chinese woman is an amazing musician as well. I'm sure, you'll like it / her as much as I do. She's got more fascinating stuff. Using a traditional chinese instrument for rock and pop songs is so cool. 🎼🎶🤗
The best version! You think this “ version” is better than the Felder/ Walsh original? ….right …..
Never heard of this instrument. They certainly are playing them artfully and beautifully!
I have to say that's the best acoustic rendition of Hotel California I have heard, it was so soothing to listen to, I nearly went into a deep sleep.
Glad you enjoy it, thanks
It’s not acoustic. The Stick is a pure electric instrument. Unplugged from an amp you will hear very very quiet notes being tapped. You need to be listening to the output from the pickups.
So beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of these before but what gorgeous sound they have in the hands of these artists. Thank you for sharing with us all. ✌🏻🤍
Thank you so much for your nice compliment:)
I never cared much for this song until just now. Wow!!!! Thank you so much!!
That is a wonderful compliment, thank you so much:)
What beautiful music. These two young musicians make me feel so happy.
I’m so glad you enjoy our music thank you so much😁
I'd think Hinley would find this a compliment.
Takes me back decades, thanks ❤.
Thanks for listening
What a talent you have. Sometimes you witness such artistry that it takes your breath away. This is one of these moments. Many thanks for sharing. Best wishes
That is such sweet compliment. Thank you.☺️
My lucky find. Had never seen, heard of, or heard these amazing instruments my ignorance receives another blow!
There’s only about 2000-3000 Chapman Stick players worldwide, so they’re still very unknown :)
One day they might be all over the place 😁
There's a street fair on 4th Ave. in Tucson Az. every year, and I met a guy named Daniel Kane playing one of these in the late 90's, he said his friend either 'invented' the Chapman Stick, or just made "his" Chapman Stick. I hope he's still rocking the Chapman Stick and still likes beer! Keep the music flowing peeps!
Thanks!
The chapman Stick has only been around by the 70s, so your friend was one of the early ones. There’s still only 2000-3000 players in the world:)
The Eagles are notorious for not letting covers of their music be heard in public. How has this survived for a year?
Not sure, we are paying for the rights, maybe that’s why… there’s plenty of hotel California covers on CZcams with way more views than ours. We keep our fingers crossed 👌
Really? Hotel California is one of the most covered songs ever!
@@EddieTheH a friend of mine uploaded a cover 4 weeks ago and it was instantly blocked. And she did it with a Chinese instrument.
I would tend to think this being recorded in Vietnam may have something to do with it.
Generally speaking, CZcams does not allow artists to block covers of songs, as it comes under its fair use policy. It’s the same as when a show like Saturday Night Live creates a parody of a song or other content.
That gave me chills.. What a beautiful performance!
Wow, thank you!☺️
one of the most beautiful renditions of HC that I have ever heard...
Thank you so much
😁
Bravo! Thank you for the SMILE of REMEMBRANCE! Beautiful!
Our pleasure!
I’d never heard of Chapman Sticks before. You two make beautiful music together!
Thank you so much! The instrument is still very unknown and seldom seen 😁
I don't kno why I didn't have this already on my HOTEL CA IS GREAT playlist ??? woah... where has this been???
AWESOME!
Glad you like it!
What a beautiful thing. Sharing such wonderful music live on the streets of every country that you visit. I respect you and admire you both so much!
We always prefer street performing over any concerts or gigs. We live to see the people's reaction in each country. In places like Vietnam the people always seem surprised and listen for a long time :)
@@Cascademelodies , They looked like you both had their complete attention in Vietnam!
You two are incredible! so gifted. What a incredible performance absolutely flawless.thank you, thank you thank you😊
Wow, thank you!
My favorite song of all times. Just awesome to hear it with a Chapman stick duo !. Thank you both.
Thanks for listening
Hideous musak. the instrument is more than this. It is like Kenny G with the soprano sax. Amazing instrument horrid performance
You drunk?
On drugs?
Hearing problems?
Horrid comment.
Это шикарно!!! Слезы на глазах, какая игра.....
Thank you so much!!
Very nice and I could sit there on a nice evening and listen to them for a while. Very talented and the first time that I have heard this instrument.
Many thanks!☺️
This is a heartfelt cover with a beautiful feel to it. Well played. Nice tempo.
Cool instruments.
Talented musicians
Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed our rendition of this classic tune:)
Das perfekte Lied für dieses wunderschöne Instrument...
I am so wrapped into your sound, just magical, celestial traveling, thank you....even after these few years passed by, this is water to the thirsty! You are blessed as are the Bee Gees❤❤❤
Thanks for listening 😁
Brilliant and touched! 😊
Thank you!☺️
I now have my favorite version of Hotel California. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Hotel California will sound beautiful and amazing on any instrument played, as well on an orchestra!!! Love this song and they were brilliant!!!!👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much:)
Einfach nur sunderschön! Grandios und virtuos! 😃😚😍
Dankeschön 😁
A superb rendition. Am now looking up Chapman sticks. :)
You should! It’s a very beautiful instrument. Definitely check out my tutorials when you do:)
Great talent...must be given award
Thanks ☺️
Huge Eagles fan ,never heared of a Chapman stick but wow ,how incredibly beautiful!
Thank you so much, I don’t think there are many versions of Hotel California played on two Chapman sticks😁
Welch wunderbare Version eines einzigartigen songs, einzigartig schmeichlerisch. Wunderbares Instrument, virtuos vorgetragen. Danke für's Teilen.❤
Vielen Dank für die netten Worte 😁
This piece brings back memories of much younger days. I'm 79 now. Their rendition was beautiful, but it didn't have the same impact as the Eagles playing it live on stage!
Well that’s a tough one to beat 😁
Never heard if this instrument. But as a guitarist, i am extremely impressed and was basically mezmerized by the sound
The Chapman stick is really pretty. A little bit like a piano. But the tuning is totally different. Glad you’re enjoying it.
OK, I've got to look at more of this - Chapman Stick? You tap the strings, not pick?? You guys are masters at it, the was gorgeous.
Exactly, it displayed a bit more like a piano with both hands tapping on the strings. The left hand plays the bass and chords and the right hand plays melody.
🎶
Hola que tal😃Un deleite escuchar su bella música con esos instrumentos que tocan👍Son geniales🙌 Saludos desde México 🇲🇽🤩 Cuídense mucho 🙏🙌
That was quite special. Thanks for posting .
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow. Just brilliant. Never heard a Chapman Stick before.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, there’s only about 8000 chapman sticks in the world so far:)
This performance would be ideal to settle residents with dementia
It is definitely very calming😁
What a spectacular, rich sound. I've never seen one of these before.
Many thanks! The instrument is called a Chapman stick, there’s only 8000 in the world:)
You two are a gift to the Earth.
Absolutely gorgeous peice of music right there.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it:)
My first time hearing this 🎶 rendition and I’m really happy to find such an iconic tune performed on these instruments and I love the fact that two people are playing in such beautiful harmony and style 🎶❤️🔥🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you 💯
So glad you enjoyed it. We will keep the music coming:)
Какая обработка,Калифорния,молодцы!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it😁
@@Cascademelodiesкак называется инструмент?
Первый раз такой вижу. 😊
Such musicality!
OMG, It's amazing. Congratulations from a Brazilian Guy🇧🇷
Thank you so much:)
Amazing, been a musician all my life and never knew this instrument was out there...
It’s an amazing instrument isn’t it? I’ve played it now for 18 years and I’m still blown away by how rare it is. Thank you for listening:)
In the 1990s, I found hollow-steel tube 'harps' shaped like open angel wings (or fingers forming a 'heart' shape. The player sat behind this rig - it was 4-5 feet tall - and it was awesome. Sometime during those strolls (thru the subway tunnels), I hear folks playing something like these Chapman 'sticks'.
Oh! I was digging thru more and there are performances from 1987. I remember seeing an middle-aged chap playing... I wonder - !!
Nick Beggs is an amazing bass/Stick player
czcams.com/video/2E-vU9quUXE/video.htmlsi=QXzlXRR2bwj-pYhh
Obviously Tony Levin is a master of the Stick too
I never heard these things 🤔 😕 , ..... ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊 , ... ...
Outstanding!! Thank you for sharing your talent!!🎶❤🎵❤🎶
Thanks for listening!:)
So heartwarming!
Hugs from Hungary!
Thank you so much!☺️
@@Cascademelodies Thank YOU!
I got a speeding ticket today and I feel horrible but this is helpful. Thank you.
P.S. Speeding is really bad and I can do better. I would never want to be a cop or sheriff. Imagine seeing what they have seen in deaths.
Sorry about your speeding ticket.
Our music usually helps people slow down 😁
@@Cascademelodies Thank you. Whenever you get pain in your body, I hope you do self massage. This is the best thing that I can give back to you.
Wow excellent job simply beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Really a beautiful performance of Hotel California. Cascade puts out such a complex, perfectly harmonized sound.
Glad you enjoyed it:)
Absolutely amazing!
Thank you:)☺️
Mary& Steffi, this seems to be a new one. It sounds great, nice crowd too. Have fun, Thanks for sharing your wonderful life together with us. ❤🎉❤
We live performing in Vietnam, the people are always so receptive :)
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
Lesser known fact: the instruments are in fact extremely heavy, while the people playing them weigh less than air and would float away without the heavy instruments in their hands.
😂😂😂
Can I have some of what you’re taking ? 😂
Yeah, a potent stuff indeed. Better change yer supplier before it's too late... ;-)
I was thinking the same about the cute wife/gf who is tiny next to the fretboard. Where did this guy find a talented babe who happens to play the same obscure instrument? Or... how do you convince your sweetie to learn an obscure heavy instrument with you...
@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid busking, jams and informal sessions, festival after show sessions. That's where the girls are...if you both play music. Not mysterious at all...😂
Beautifull compsition, and very good instrumental... Thank you
Many thanks!
Beautiful, simply beautiful….👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸🎵
Thank you so much 😊
What a beautiful instrumental piece. Bravo!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Many thanks!
@@Cascademelodies do you travel throughout California? If so, will you be performing near Monterey?
Unfortunately we’re just here to visit family at the moment. We’ll go back to Germany in a couple of days:)
Zo,heb ik dit nummer nooit zien spelen krachtig en mooi
That’s a very nice compliment. Thank you
☺️
Beautiful! Thanks for allowing me to hear one of my favorite pieces of music on yet another instrument. 🎶 👍
Thanks for listening 😁
Brilliant. Loved it. The best! X
Thanks!!☺️
Amazing 👏👏👏👍.
Thanks a lot 😊
the best thing I've found today. very masterful in your performance. thank you for this!
I've heard of a Chapman Stick but never heard one. Very talented musicians. The sound is mesmerizing.
Beautiful Duo ✝️♥️☮️
Thanks for listening
from Sài Gòn Việt Nam and i really love what u've been doing til this day. I just know your channel and really appreciate ur work. Good luck to u guys
Wow, thank you
Wonder how long it’ll be before Henley makes CZcams give them a "notice".
We’ll see 😁
Thanks for watching!
One of the better versions that I have heard. It is also the first time I have seen that instrument.
Thank you!
There’s only about 8000 Chapman sticks in the world :)
Absolutely beautiful. Never heard of that instrument before. I hope it gets hold to other musicians.
Thank you!
So far there’s only between 2000 and 3000 Chapman stick players in the world :)
It's not Felder and Walsh, but it's as close as you can get. Well done.
Thanks:)
Surprised they didn't get a copyright strike. The Eagles have a habit of prosecuting people who play their music.
So far so good 👍 we pay all rights for any revenue generated from our cover songs.. there’s tons of covers of “Hotel California” on CZcams, hopefully ours won’t get shut down 😁
I too have heard of the Chapman Stick before this video. Beautiful sound.
Indeed it is!
The last time I was in England, admittedly 34 years ago, the Australian Guiter/Digeridoo duo we buskering in Covent Garden. Since then, they've gone on to record several albums of their music. There's a nobility to buskering. It's probably (and hopefully) the oldest human institution in the world.This duo is heading in the same direction. Fine stuff.
Thank you so much for the nice story:)
We have been busking all over the world full-time for several years now, we always choose busking over playing concerts because it is so much fun:)
А я хочу сказать...почему бы нам всем, слушать, исполнять, сочинять, творить МУЗЫКУ, а не слушать поганых политиков и воевать? Не доказывать кто лучше, а просто наслаждаться миром, музыкой, искусством, да просто жизнью а? Проснитесь люди, мы, все, ЗЕМЛЯНЕ. ВСЕМ МИРА И ДОБРА.
Well said
Anyone listening to this, who can't give them a "thumbs up" must be tone deaf
Thanks for the sweet compliment
:)
This is amazing, such beautiful sounds.
Glad you think so!
The appreciation of great music is international and global. What beautiful instruments!
Thank you so much
☺️
So beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
I tuned in to find out what a Chapman stick was and subscribed to hear much more of this wonderful music.
Really glad you’re enjoying it. We’ll keep the music coming.
Way more emotional than the original. I never got goose bumps from the original
So glad you enjoyed it:)
Hello Cascade....HOW BEAUTIFFUL!! I've never seen those instruments before! You perform beautifully on them. Just the right song, one of my favorites! Thank you for your talent.
Thank you very much! And thanks for listening :)
Maybe your best moment out of dozens of great ones.
We always draw the biggest crowds in Vietnam:)
@@Cascademelodies Your instrumental version shows just how great a song that was. The lyric and the story are powerful on their own. It could be a short story. But the instrumental is just as powerful. I think it's your best for both audience and performance. At the end, I could see those two guitarists on stage making their guitars sing to each other.
