I've tried not to post these Monday vids from Snarky's for a few weeks but this is another contender for performance of the year. For me, the last Tony Scherr vid was the only clunker they have posted so I didn't expect much here - WRONG! Highlights; the little smile at :43 because he know's he's got a barnstormer coming; the chord at 1:12; the omg reaction by those three dudes with the headphones round about 1:46; drummer starts building up a head of steam 4:14; Tony cranks the amp into feedback but then plays quietly 4:33 because he's got another ace up his sleeve; beautiful lady totally blissing out at 4:45; 5:33 here comes that ace - just listen to the guitar tone change when he hits that micro-switch; then it's honkin' perfection all the way to the end.
I don't know what it is about the genius of Snarky Puppy but this is another performance where the guest just cannot stop at the end.
This is the time to say that the film team who work with Snarky Puppy are superb - they caught all those highlights in a live performance! Just look at the (rare) beam on the 12-string guitarists face at 7:13 which is out and then in focus. Brilliant.
