It's crazy how often I rewatch this. It's the best anxiety-reducing music I've found. It always puts me in a better head space. Gregory Porter is a master.

I’ve only just discovered Gregory Porter, and I can’t get enough. I’ve been on KZfaq all day experiencing a daytime par-tay!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

"Mother's Song" is a tear-jerker. Mr. Porter, with the Metropole Orchestra, is astonishing.

That orchestra is fabulous! One of the few real singers in the world

Don't know how many times I've watched this....what vocal finesse......and the orchestra who show you that they are enjoying what they are doing!

Gregory Porter has the happiest face I have ever seen.... I love him

Gregory Porter is a throw-back to the jazz era when we had great singers. A friend gave me his first album and I fell in love with Gregory singing. I look forward to more great music from him.

You just witnessed one of the greatest live jazz perfomances in the history of the genre.

The goodness in all people all around the world is put into the lyrics and music of Gregory Porter, all from the heart. His fame is not only because of his talent; fans love his work because his work touches what everyone wants life to be on this Earth, but just can't achieve. So listening to him is a sweet sadness and joy bringing tears of joy and sadness to each and every one of us who connect with the desire, the thought, the feeling, the need to make a connection with life as it was meant to be. Peace.

I was really moved by a truly great performance. This should be made into a live album. It would sell well over a million copies.

The French horn at 9:35 and the runs are stellar then the interplay with the sax just takes it to another level!!!!!!!

I can listen to this performance every day! I love Gregory Porter and that Orchestra. I 'm so glad I found him! He makes my day. Thank you..

When music is pure and genuine, it creates an ambiance that speaks it own language without words! Simply beautiful....

Loving Gregory Porter's vocals but this orchestra is mind blowing indeed!

This man is a genius. I saw him in Charlotte NC a little while back. He is a true artist. His voice is just as good if not better LIVE.

Amazing -- when you can tell the orchestra is loving it!

So good, exquisite. The Metropole orchestra is fantastic! A voice like Gregory Porter's comes along once in a generation.

doesn't get any better than this. just amazing moving music.

116 dislikes? FOR REAL? This is one of the best performances online... no fake Autotune BS, no dancing needed, pure soul, passion, and ARTISTRY at it's best.

By the time he got to the song "1960 What" I had chills running down my spine. Wow this entire concert was flawless. No doubt Gregory Porter is one of the Jazz greats and by the just the perfection of this performance he sure enough earned it.

His voice and spirit nourishes my soul and gives me hope for this world. What an amazing gift. Thank you, Mr. Porter!

Metropole Orchestra is Fire! My favorite orchestra bar none. Brilliant!

God, in His infinite wisdom sends angels to earth to remind us to turn our eyes and ears to higher Things. Gregory Porter is one of those special gifts sent to us to touch our hearts and bring joyful tears to our eyes. I pray That God Bless him at every turn.

I sit in front of my computer and wish I was there. Amazing!!!

In my life I have had to work with the Costers, Platers, Etta James and the Drifters. It was a great ride but I must confess, when i listen to this consort, "I can't feel the ground under my feet" He lifts me up.

I've been a big fan of Gregory Porter ever since his debut "Water" several years back, and so happy this concert was uploaded: it's simply fantastic, amazing, astonishing - his vocals, the tone, the phrasing, the warmth, the color, the sheer joy of performance - WOW!

he makes my heart sing * thank You Gregory for sharing your love *

This man is a complete monster. He is one of greatest to ever touch a microphone. One my all- time favorites and I grew up around some of the greatest to ever sing. Hats off to you, my brother!

All I can say is WOW!!!! His voice just takes me back to my childhood. His voice is so pure and clean.

I love Gregory Porter's music. I can't say it enough.

A mother who's life lifted up me....that was my mother. This song has so much emotion for me, and I can tell by the way Gregory performed this song, that it was emotional for him also. Great talent!!!

from my very own hometown of bakersfield ca. we're so proud of you my brother. please honor us with a local performance.we want to embrace your brilliance...

Since I met Gregory, there's no one day without listen his music.

Greg Porter is The Greatest Since Sliced Wheat Bread. And That Cat on The Sax is Cold Blooded. I'm Digging All Of This ❤🍃

Metropole Orchestra is on point here! They got Gregory's back big time and he's loving it

Gregory Porter is an amazing talent. The orchestra is clearly enjoying his brilliant music and energy

Perfect chemistry between a fabulous singer and a superb orchestra!

"Be good" and the the song following tore through my heart...a complete waterfall upon my face. The orchestra is nothing short of amazing or SUPERB.

This orchestra is a songwriter's dream. Gregory is beyond a dream.

The absolute best concert performance!! Excellent Gregory & The Met Orchestra!!

So impressed by this man....words can't express this gifting!

This man and all of the music behind him is a refreshment to today’s music and is a super super replacement

Gregory Porter is amazing! The orchestra is so superb! They make great team! I watch this concert 20 times, and I'll watch it a 1000 times again. I love good music. Not factory music but that music that remind you of that old great wine. Go head Gregory Porter! Go head!

Just discovered this concert and have to say I loved every minute. The enthusiasm and appreciation of the audience, along with this amazing orchestra and of course the sublime Gregory Porter. An absolute treat to watch and listen to. Thankyou to all the musicians and to Mr Porter. Hope I will one day get to see you live 💛✨💛✨💛✨

I was a co-worker this weekend at cactusfestival in Bruges where he performed. I had the privilege to shake his handat the backstage and tell him how much I appreciated his concert. A very kind and warm person with an amazing talent. One of the best concerts I've ever seen !!

I have seen Gregory two times, once at the Hollywood Bowl and his voice is a gift from God. His songs are so uplifting and he is the future of jazz and hopefully young people will be inspired by him. Thanks Gregory!!

GOOSE BUMPS!!! OMG!!! WHERE HAVE I BEEN!!! I LOVE HIS WORK! IT'S A GOD THING AND A GIFT FROM HIM!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 THANK YOU LORD FIR GREGORY! BLESS HIM!!!

24:28 jesus almighty such an orchestra, such a performer, Gregory we love you immensely, thank you!!

I have only been introduced to Mr. Gregory Porter and I can't stop listening. His sound is clean and clear. The lyrics of his songs are simply beautiful. I am a fan!!!

The singing is great, but this orchestra is outstanding, each solo is right on the money. Good music will always be good, thank you Gregory Porter.

Gregory Porter is magnificent. And I love the flick of music sheet 8:21 from the Conductor. Wow on Sax then trumpet. When you got soul you soul...

outstanding artist that has sheer talent and dexterity, a music genius.

i'll never forget this outstanding performance!!

Magic. I have watched this video innumerable times. Gregory is a joy to behold... and... the band and arrangements are sublime. This is one of those perfect nights when everything "clicks" and everyone is performing at their best. Fantastic.

His music is so soothing and beautiful. I am a fan♥️♥️♥️

Fantastic concert from Mr Porter. One of the great voices of our time.

This cat is amazing! Listen to all his concerts. He has a texture to his voice that is joyful and comforting!

A sublime performance by both artist and orchestra! The arrangements are awesome. Wish I had been there.

a beautiful spirit... he does not just sing he prays....a true gift for all of us to enjoy!

Who knew! I thought I knew all The jazz greats but this leaves me ... and Amsterdam's Metropole Orchestra is outstanding with Gregory Porter. Bravo!

I'm hooked on Gregory Porter…for about a week now! OMG!

loving Gregory Porter. his music is so pure...I mean that in a musical sense.

Did have the honor to hear him with the Metropole Orchestra in Munich, Tollwood Festival just yesterday. I guess this was the very best concert i heard for years. Greg is a singer of extraordinary quality with a wonderful stage presence. Also the Orchestra is playing on such a high level that i wished they would play all night through. This is real music, these are real musicians. God thanks for this evening, i´ll never forget it. Thank you Greg for your voice and for your songs!

He is now my FAVORITE new vocalist of the year. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

And not to forget the wonder of this orchestra 🥰

Whoever has arranged this music from his original versions is an absolute musical beast! The sax solos are KILLERS!

Music is my therapy...Gregory Porter is a SPECIALIST...FOOD FOR THE SOUL...SIMPLY AMAZING..!!!

his singing is how I feel after a nice hit bath... clean :)

He has bowled me over and is my favorite artist. Great singer and wonderful songwriter

Wonderful concert! Amazing fusion between a great jazz singer and an excellent orchestra. ***Addicted***

One word AMAZING performance and artist.

jazz is from old african word "jassie" and means the SOUL of a man... and Gregory means that.... beautiful, thanks for posting this extraordinary concert of extraortinary JAZZ man

I've heard these arrangements with other orchestras he's played with and this is by far the most soulful, and best orchestra ever. It's hard to made Gregory Porter look bad, but this orchestra manages to elevate his performance. I'm already a Gregory Porter Fan and now a Metropole Orchestra fan. now.

He's a game changer love listening to his music day or night always good

Doesn't get much better. Smooooth !!

Gregory has just been confirmed for the NSJF in Rotterdam 2014. I'll be there to watch him. What a voice. what a talent.

oh boy can this guy sing.absolute class.a breath of fresh air.many thanks.

Glad to have found Mr. Porter and his voice. This concert is marvelous.

WOW this orchestra is killing!!! first song painted canvas teared me up. Simply beautiful!!!! Gregory Porter is a legend already.

Awesome concert, vocalist, orchestra, audience!

what a performance... the crowd's reaction during and after Mother's Song tells a tale.

After you listen to music like this.....don’t you just want to go out in the world...and throw rose petals around and love everybody? Tell the truth!!!!!!

"Be Good" just slays me. There is a spiritual, mystical, etherial quality about it that touches my soul. Whew!

Omg! Why am I just now discovering this beautiful video! Life changing!

I can't listen to this man without crying. he gets into my soul. I hope to one day see him in person.

I could listen to him all day. Love his tone of his voice.

Wow! I'm sitting at work listening to this beautiful brother singing and the band playing and I'm thanking God! This is great!

This BROTHER IS AMAZINGLY AMAZING.

I fell back in love with music again!😊😊😊The bassist is the bomb!

This guys voice is so good. Great lyrics

This is really really amazing... I'm glad I just happened to bump into this video. Not only is Gregory his usual perfect self but the orchestra behind him as well is phenomenal!

Love Love Love him bringing back real artist...

thanks for sharing this performance. I think I have all of his cds but I can tell that this concert was awesome. Listen to the joy in his voice. Thanks again.

This is just an amazing orchestra playing the most wonderful music. All the greats of jazz have performed with the Metropole from Stan Getz to Mark Murphy, Phil Woods to Clare Fischer, Bud Shank to Clarke Terry, Peter King to Bill Evans, Lee Konitz to Bob Brookmeyer and dozens more. They all loved the experience many returned time and time again. The BBC shed its Concert Orchestra on cost grounds and denied us the joy of sounds like this. Thank you to Dutch Radio at Hilversum for carrying on supporting this orchestra and the arrangers like Rob Pronk and Dolf Van der Linden, under the most difficult of circumstances. We need this music for our souls.
