Amazing! Subscribed! You guys have so much fun, it makes people who don't play instruments want to join you on stage anyway. Thank you all.

Before I watched this video I read the title and I said this is your father's bands song because they always did an awesome cover of this song they actually did it at my sister's wedding and your Uncle Phil played the bass guitar and I was always amazed that he was able to play those fill ins so well. You guys killed it also. Awsome

I liked the Yes stuff better. I'm calling BS on the fake recorder solo at 2:36. You might have 'triggered' a MIDI source at best ...not to sound to bitchy & gnomish....but otherwise all is real good. You sing very well, too!

@J3unG 3 жыл бұрын

idiot. this performance was the shit.

@boboala1 3 жыл бұрын

@@J3unG Dude. The recorder guy fakes the entire solo(!) And he's got a look on his face like he pulled it off. No chuckles by him like from the rest of the band! My only criticism w this particular video. (I did comment I thought he sang very well...yes?) I'm actually more impressed with many of their other covers I've seen, mainly because I admire the technical skills of all in this band - esp. Ritchie who is a monster on the guitar & can sing his butt off, too! And I've heard the excellent drummer play keyboard amazingly well. Obviously a genius!

@aliasreco 6 жыл бұрын

Good, but it lacks some power... Make the synth a little fatter... The main singer is real good. Good copy of Simon's way of doing it.

Richie - I have commented positively on almost all of your tunes. However, the vocalist...mmmm...unsure about this guy. He's ok on kazoo, but as far as I can hear, that's about it.....could be a lot better given the great groove the band puts out.

@michaeltutnichts-zursache8258 6 жыл бұрын

No, Mate, thats how the bass line has to be played. "The song features a bass run performed by Bakithi Kumalo; the solo is palindromic as only the first half was recorded, and was then played backwards for the second half. The decision to reverse the recording was made by Halee, who noted in a later interview that this type of experimentation was common in order to make the songs more interesting." (Wikipedia)
