UPDATE: Due to several comments asking for a decent quality version of this clip, I'm pleased to offer the full HD version for your viewing pleasure.
I uploaded the original as a low bit rate, low resolution quickie, due to having a lousy internet connection where I was at the time. A big regret now, given that the clip went crazy viral - but how was I to know??
So here it is, (link below) in full HD 1080p glory, along with a slightly remixed audio - a little more of the ambient camera sound, because the disbelievers out there are convinced this was over-dubbed, somehow. As well as the camera built in (rubbish) audio, I placed a Zoom H4n stereo recorder just behind the piano to record good quality sound with less of the background noise audible, to later sync in post production. This resulted in also picking up the sound of broken strings inside the piano, which many people are convinced is the sound of a hidden percussionist somewhere, playing a hi-hat, and therefore it must be an overdub fake studio recording setup or something! Well, it ain't.
• HENRI'S BOOGIE - FULL HD
A virtuous piano player among a hundred Zombies who can’t appreciate talent. You are mind blowing mate 👏👏👍😎
Unbelievable! I would have been rocking my ass off! These people watched him like he was a boring movie
There was a few people looking for their friends I think other people appreciated him
Some did appreciate , but too many are so dead to greatness
You got that right! I would be snapping & wiggling!
Wow zombies is right
Pure talent!
Pure hard work and practice.
All the people that are good at things aren't good because they were born with talent. They put thousands of hours into honing their craft. Talent is a word to make people who have no drive feel better about themselves. "Oh, I could never do that, he was born with it." No, you're just a lazy fuck who'd rather watch than do.
Greatest Dictator It's hard work + talent. Without an immense ammount of talent + a lot of work, this is not possible.
Greatest Dictator Some people do have talent. But talented and talent-less can both be excellent or terrible at, in this case, playing piano. A talented pianist still has to work hard to be this good.
Greatest Dictator I like this reply, because it provides me with the hope I need to convince myself to get into music.
Greatest Dictator if you're saying this guy isn't talented...I don't know what's wrong with you. He has talent, which he acquired by means of hard work and dedication; those words aren't exclusive statements
4:31 he's giving you the finger artistically
lol
That old beat up piano, with an incredibly good boogie player, rocked the joint. It may never recover. But it will die very happy.
It's not even just the mental capacity of this guy that I find amazing. The fact that he can just move his fingers fast enough to play that is mind-blowing on its own.
Parents used to make me learn the keyboard when i was a kid, there were some fast songs too. I can't speak for others but I played by route. My conscious mind didn't really pick individual keys to press, my fingers just did it themselves.
meh. your muscles learn it.
dirtpipedan
Meh. Olympians just use muscle memory. No big deal.
dirtpipedan Your perspective reminds me of the things I want to change about myself.
smurf88 when i sprint in track, i don't think about how im running. you start and you finish.
I can't even count how many times I've come back watch this... dope.
Watch 50 other boogie piano videos on YT THEN watch this one. You'll see just how good he is. The clarity in every note and the powerful left hand. Amazing talent.
+Dave Stone Agree
+Dave Stone He is good, there's no doubt about it...
Kindly check for Donna Oxford (lady's first, it's simply a courtesy) and Luca Sestak.
Both are at least in the same league with Henri.
Sure, you could select 50 crappy YT boogie piano videos to make him look outstanding.
But there definitely is also a lot of talent out there. You just have to look for it.
Have fun with these two alternatives.
Peace and love for music to you, sir.
+Dave Stone Blohm is another outstanding one.
+Mario Rossi True. Not disagreeing with you there.
Keep that love for good music.
+Dave Stone YUP
My dad loved boogie woogie, I used to play this to him in his final months with us. Always made him smile, through the pain, in appreciation. Thank you Henri
This man is performing absolute magic in the midst of a zombie crowd, chewing gum and trying to ignore him. Anyone there awake? Give this guy some heartfelt appreciation!
Couldn’t agree more ! If I were there I’d be dancing, and I’m crippled with arthritis ! Love to hear Henri Herbert play.
Obviously the music protects him from the living dead which are all round him!
Made my day
i would have missed my flight
You certainly would! As this was filmed in a train station!
crucero41 Trains go to the airport.
Ilovemycamper these trains go Eurotunnel to Paris
Not all of them.
Watzegik Datzegik He'd still've missed it! his flight was to the moon....your airfield just doesn't cut it for trips like that!
Wow, the concentration on his face says, I'm gonna make this piano play notes it has never seen, and will never see again! Unbelievable talent!
Is he playing to deaf people??
i think the same,not more than ten people was looking or applauded him
if one day i see something like that,i will hug and implore to the artist to play more!
Those people are in what look to be an exit to airport, and they are waiting for familiar or worker people probably, thats why they can't stop to see Henris playing :/~~
They are just busy looking for people they are waiting for.
Exactly! So few people even takes notice... queue excuses about people waiting for trains and being too busy. What would 20 seconds take out of your life.
I would be dancing and smiling thats for sure. Some of those people are acting like they are annoyed by his playing....what a shame
So... People go about their business, most without realizing what an amazing display of skill is being offered to them for free as they wait for their trains or while they wait for people to arrive.
This guy's is Amazing!!!!!@
It's great isn't it? ( makes me want to see his band!)
Isn't this St Pancras train station?
Yes
Sorry. ..I know it was but for some reason still talked like it was a airport 😀. Corrected now
I thought it was a bit rude of the one person to be listening to music when there is AMAZING, live music right behind him.
Just like Joshua Bell's experiment! He's amazing!
CZcams recommends me one of his public piano performances and now I'm on a loop listening to his songs and watching more of his other public performances. He is an absolute magician with the piano.
I've been watching this clip for years and is as good now as the first time l saw it.
I keep coming back to watching this whenever I'm browsing you tube. So good. Gives me a great feeling inside.
I prefer the other one he has, but I know what you mean.
Henri when I hear you play this is great medication for my depression makes me feel like there is hope in life. Thanks man
Vane Mak learn to play
I was mesmerized
The world passes by as a talent for the ages shines among them. Such is the of fate of unrecognized brilliance. Herbert deserves a rousing standing ovation, one that I trust he receives in performances before a more appreciative audience.
I'm a New fan💖🤩😁
this was not in my recommended. I just came to this video after another recommended video from this channel
I have never in my life seen someone dominate an instrument like this before. Simply incredible. One of the most beautiful things I have seen.
Gives it a schoolin' is too weak a phrase; it's kind of inhuman.
WOW I'm baffled?!?! how can people around this not appreciate this gentlemans gift
It is amazing to see this talented keyboard player playing to a bunch of soulless concrete statues.
If i did not wast so much time browsing the web i could play just as good as this guy.
English isn't my native language.
And same goes for you, use punctuations before commenting about someone else's bad grammar.
Hawk Tartaros What you intended to say came across perfectly and I agree with you. Well said.
no you wouldn't,it's not just hard work,most of it is pure talent.
Actually no - hard work is at least as important as talent, and probably more so. Playing piano very well is highly difficult, but anyone with sufficient time and dedication (and the knowledge of how best to apply that dedication) can build up the muscle memory to do so, and even develop their interpretative skills along the way.
The greatest thing to ever to happen to that piano.
How can 2.8k people dislike this? Some bloody odd people out there. What an amazingly talented guy
Maybe, like me, they think Boogie Woogie is an assault on the eardrums!
They probably dislike the camera work
Who else is here listening to Henri's Boogie to close out the year 2020??
we need more of this free style piano
I bet many of those who didnt even noticed him, payed big money to see him later in that evening, in some concert hall. People are just too busy, or they think they are.
I thought it was really strange that people barely seem to notice
Fatelvis2 all just standing there looking the other way.
sure!
Pretty sure they would have recognized him if they were willing to pay a lot of money to see him in the first place.
It's a pretty interesting visual. People watching, waiting to go somewhere else, that quite possibly won't be as interesting a the place they currently are. I hope some people missed their train to stay and watch.
Absolutely incredible. How can someone so young be so damn good.
Henri has got to be the best boogie player in the world, and this composition may be the best ever played.
That piano will never walk the same again after that pounding
Yeah this is full of awesome! I was hopping in my seat to this music.. How the people who were actually THERE weren't gettin down with that tune is beyond me. Where is their soul??!!
did you see the japanese holding the sign?!?1 LOL
marcelo benitez Just a guy doing his job or at least something a bit more formal. What was so lollish about him?
R20set I dont know that anything was LOL-ish about him. He was doing his thing. Its the lack of interaction of the sheeple around him that tweaks my melon. Maybe if they had it piped into their iPhones they would be more responsive? :)
EXACTLY!! I'd dance all by myself if I was there!!
Keymonkslime Nutt Just because some people aren't gonna jump in and dance by themselves in public doesn't mean they're lesser of a person or don't have a soul. I'm a very shy person, but in my head, I would be jamming. This is just me. I wouldn't judge people FOR dancing, so why do they judge me for NOT dancing by myself? It's just not my personality, and I'm old enough to stop wishing I was 'cooler' than I am.
People, please keep moving. Nothing to see or hear. Just one of the world's greatest...
Don’t know how many times I’ve watched this over the years but absolutely LOVE it! Pure passion with flair & talent. What a joy 🤩🙏
Same here! I must have come back here about 200 times the last 5-6 years or so! One of the best Boogie Woogie out there!
I watched it at least a thousand times and would of paid thousands to be here. The most talent I ever saw
Yep. In my favourites, it's just so innocent as well how he just rocks up. Love this clip, Play on Henri!!
After watching a few of these videos I am still amazed at how some people can be in this kind of presence, and just "go about their business" as if it were nothing extraordinary.... shocking!
Maybe everyone there just got out of a piano competition and they all placed way ahead of the guy you see playing. Maybe they’re all thinking “What’s that guy who finished last doing, enough already?!”.
Sadly, I fear you may be onto it here...
OMG, I never thought of that! Would that it were true :)
Or maybe every last one of them had to take piano lessons as a kid and their teacher beat them when they missed a note. Now, as adults, they cannot stand the piano so they avoid it at all costs. In all seriousness though, just because the piano isn't your thing doesn't make you a sheep. People seem to be busier than just years ago and have things to do and places to go. I would definitely stop and listen and as long as I could. But if everybody else did as well, wouldn't that make them "sheep".
David Marshall OR maybe no one gives a fuck and have better things to do then to listen to some guy play piano?
Legend has it that those piano keys are still hot to the touch till this day
I'm hearing this great music to my ears from South Africa but some people who are so close to this musician looks like they are deaf... they seem not to be hearing this awesome music
They are so bored with their lives that they cannot appreciate the talent of the artist !
2020....and this is still one of the coolest things on CZcams
One of the world’s top Boogie Woogie players jamming for FREE and people ignore him. Unbelievable.
The best.
The best...
No one can attain that speed and perfection.
I just can't keep myself from coming back here again and listen to him.... Amazing & inspiring! makes me feel good
u not alone !
He is a machine. He is giving a master class and some people are either deaf or ignorant!
Yep, watching ol Henri for the - well, I don't know how many times, never, never get tired of listening to such talent belting out the harmonies......,...
I can’t understand how people can stand still when he’s playing that rocking boogie.
Welcome to Westworld
Rap fans.
I would be like holy crap!..... can't you people appreciate this guys talent and just freeze your day for 2 mins.
I've lost count how many times i have watched this clip,and I'll probably watch it again.
Henri is arguable one of the best boogie piano players walking!
No one dancing...not even a toe tapper. Music is a celebration of lively spirits, a pure soul and happiness! That's one depressing train stop mate. At least they clapped as thanks for uplifting an otherwise numb afternoon... You're an AMAAAAZINGLY talented young musician! Thanks
How are all these people standing motionless? I can’t stop my head from bobbing.
This video says it all. It`s a "wonderful" mirror of our society... Here people are getting an opportunity to see a genius at his best and they turn their backs towards him, preferring the head-phones with taped music, rushing by not even noticing him, his exceptional talent..., or even noticing each other. Like in a trance, programmed to go from A to B. Gosh, it`s difficult being a feeling human being in this world... MrTrotty57, thank you very much for sharing :))
A world class pianist dragging out an excellent tune on a beat up old piano. Do those people not realise others pay to hear his piano playing?
How can people just be standing there and not reacting to that wonderful music? My God I would be dancing and clapping and to be joyous to be lucky enough to have been in that place at that time to hear such a talent. I can’t get over it it’s just absolutely great. !!!!♥️😃🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶
I agree with you, what a talent. Come on, I invite you to dance
@@fraslinthierry2030 😀yeah !!!💃🕺🏽
They are shy maybe?? 😂😂
@@unofficialnotmember8253 I doubt it, they were probably looking for their relatives getting off the plane and coming in the airport still, when you have that kind of beautiful music playing you can barely ignore it no matter what’s going on 😏
If I was on my way to get an affected tooth pulled out, I would have to reschedule another appointment. One does not get to hear these great musicians. I see many great street artist with passing people not giving them even a look!! Are they blind?
What really gets to me watching this video is that nobody has the time whilst walking past to stop and acknowledge something very special by an incredibly talented artist. It’s a sad time when people are to self-consumed to appreciate raw talent.
Ian Parker if I'd been there i would definitely grab a lady and get on the dance floor!!
These people do not know they are looking at one of the best boogie-woogie players in the world. No one hands move that fast.
That piano needed a cigarette after this
xD
hahahahahah
Morgan Viscardi hahaha..good one
The crowd doesn’t realize what they’re hearing I would of paid thousands to be here and never been a big fan of piano but he is the most talented person I ever saw. I watched this probably a thousand times and referred it as many and am amazed every time like it’s my first
I totally AGREE!! WISH i could have been there!!
Tough crowd.....
Wow, a horizontal video. Incredible.
This guy is really good. I think he deserves a more appreciative audience.
good ? He is MASTER best ever!
@@divedeepinside-JK After careful consideration, I have to agree your are right.
I love how even the broken strings sound good with his skill.
Panties status:
Drenched.
You could say he's good with his fingers.
BOXER BRIEF STATUS:
Soiled and Frothy
chinchilla505 PANTS HAVE BEEN BREACHED, I REPEAT, THE PANTS HAVE BURST OPEN !!!
Semi-diminished dominant chord
Thank you GOD for this guy, the world really needs him right now!
Mix henri's boogie absolutely brilliant....loved it
*I am in the back with the white bag, what a performance when you hear it live it's magical*
Old Asian guy not impressed, like "my 4 ear old grandchild can do that"
Not likely, maybe some Beethoven or some other classical pieces. Haven't seen too many Asians that play music with this kind of rhythm nor with much talent of improvisation. Not that they can obviously, but they just seem to be taught towards only set pieces and get stuck doing that which is too bad.
Parents have to let their kids loose, free their inner emotions and liven things up on the piano with music like the blues, jazz and some good ol' rock and roll. :D
This is about the best rendition of Piano Boogie I have heard. He has a great intro and then shifts gears and it starts all over again. Fantastic. What is with all the stick people? No emotions and ignoring the explosive music of Mr. Henri. Although when I play this video on my iphone, my Cockatoo immediately stops play, climbs up on me and is memorized. Perhaps that is the Boogie?
My cock does too
sausageseggandchips shutt the fuck up if you can say nothing normal fucking idiott !!!!
I was wiggling my bum in my chair the whole time
me gusta my brother.
Man that was fun both to watch and listen, that there is talent.
How can you be indifferent to this, even if you dont care about piano, this is such a harmony of sounds. Some people are just unburdened by genius.
Obviously an alien, no human can be this good.
i dont know how people can ignore talent like that
I think those piano keys had smoke rising from them when he was done ...awesome!
also a glass of wine
Dunno which is harder. Actually being able to play like that or walking past pretending it isn't actually happening. Henri you rock.
2:14 Einstien just casually walking past
Wow!! 10 million views. I never thought that could happen. Thanks everybody!
That's what happens when you catch such an excellent performance. Thank you for allowing us to hear this whenever we want!
+MrTrotty57 it deserves 100 million dude.....thanks so much !!
+MrTrotty57 where i can get sheets for this boogie?
+MrTrotty57
Thank you for posting this. I dont know how many time i repeated this, that guy is awesome.
add more videos pls
Just amazed at the folk standing there, like they hear world class piano playing, live and free, every day! Phenomenal just isnt a strong enough word.
Couldnt actually see his fingers!! His hands were moving at light speed!! BRILLIANT!! :D
Something about them ignoring him makes this feel like a movie scene. Like a sad metaphor for how the world is becoming
😥 Sadly...Became mate...
More talent on display in 5 minutes that anyone in the chartts right now will show in their whole lifetime.
All these years later I still come back for some of that hot Fire Henri boogie
2.9k thumbs down,,,wtf really ?....jealous or miserable is all I can think cause this man can play.
I don't understand how people could ignore the performance. I really don't.
That is because the faith in humanity is lost. i love to be there to dance with my wife.
Lucas Cuccu 😂 That would be hilarious. Just you and you wife rock and rolling while everyone else is just stood there.
A world class musician playing before a forest of dead, numb, stumps.
Flippin’ brilliant he deserves a medal, and also mind numbing to watch people’s lack of interest.😢👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Keep it up Peter
poor people..., no one is having anny fun.., while i am dancing across the room.... henry your great....
Love this man.....a friend of mine on FB
+Chester any*
sry
??
Are these people dead or what?! This guy ROCKS, yet no one taps their feet, nods a head in time to music...nothing. Great performance, though! Go, Henri, go, man!
I hear ya! Brother, my feet & heart are jumping when I listen to Henri! People are out of touch with the moment of this guys gift he is sharing!
OMG, i thought he had 20 fingers on each hand! What speed, impressive.
Absolutely world class! Don't think it is possible to play the piano any better!
holy shit that guy is awesome!
I love piano so much. This was so awesome. Wish I was at King's Cross when this was going down!
Amazed at lack of enthusiasm from onlookers.
Omg that's the coolest thing ever! I'm astonished more people didn't stop to watch! I wish I could play the piano ;-; can you play, Evan?
Stephen Hitchens A feigned lack of enthusiasm. It's cool to be nonchalant.
Stephen Hitchens They were just waiting for the drop
Alexander Leveille dat sick beat tho
How do people not turn and watch in amazement? I truly am disgusted with humanity rn.
Plain old...WOW. I could watch/listen to him all day.
ive watched this vid maybe 50 times and love it every time I see it
What a great boogie woogie player!!!!!
That hi-hat sound is fucking perfect
One has to have a ear for music played on a piano. It is not everyone who can appreciate it. He was enjoying playing on the piano and his concentration was wholly on the piece he was playing.
Man, I swear to God and St. Peter, if THIS piece gets played at MY funeral, I'm gonna jump up out of the box and dance. Heaven will just have to wait. If this doesn't make you want to tap, you're already dead.
And I'll randomly pop out of the wall with a beer in each hand.
Good on ya David. And you'd be welcome to the celebration. A friend with beer is ALWAYS welcome near. I'll likely swipe one, (or maybe BOTH), and lay back down with a bellyful of beer and go happily on.
Agreed. And you'd be welcome. We all gotta go sometime. I want MY family and friends to CELEBRATE my life. NOT mourn over the end result. I've had a great run,(so far), and every experience has shaped me into who I am today.
Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, KJV.
No question. The public is generally deaf.
ocurre no solamente con el arte, en el 90% de nuestros sentidos sólo percibimos lo que creemos que nos interesa, ni que hablar de lo espiritual....
Especially tht chineese guy with headphones on. He was really pissing me off i mean stop listening to your head phones and look behind you and listen to some real music. Same as the other asian tht was just standong and not even looking behind him to watch this amazing piano player i mean come on people open your eyes.
kool guy Because I'm sure what HE was listening to couldn't possibly have been 'real' music! You have no idea what soothes the souls of other people. Don't judge people for what they choose to love. He was also working. I'm sure his boss would've loved to get a call from a frantic passenger who couldn't find her driver. Think before you judge.
Yo Yo! Baduum chhh
I've lost track of how many times I've come here!! xD
Johann Eiriksson me too! Amazing right?!!
Theophilus Taiwo Martins IKR!!
To be honest, I think a large part of why people didn't react is because of the presence of a camera. Maybe they thought this was for some product of media and therefore didn't want to ruin it by getting in the way or reacting to something that they're not meant to react to.
I only say this because I'm a media production student and it pisses me off to no end when members of the public start talking to or staring at actors mid-filming, it really puts them off.
As a londoner, it's much more likely people were just walking past because we're all miserable bastards. I adore The Jim Jones Revue though, i'm glad you might too Evanz. Now get off youtube, I see you bloody everywhere.
***** I totally agree self centered self absorbed people who believe that NOW is what will happen
***** Hey, I was here first. :(
looks like a compact camera or slr, nobody is getting self conscious on account of that shit
How I wish I had talent like that, sensational!
This kind of playing is spectacular, but simple - simple progression and scales and going around it all the time. It looks harder than it really is. But it is still not easy.
@@adrs2 not to be that guy, can you do it? like i can see you can play piano, so can you? if so I'd love to see
