Jacob: *modulates a half step up* Everyone: loses their shit

Whomever allowed him to flourish and become the human he is, deserve gold medals for parenting.

I hope that one day I'm a good enough musician to be in Jacob collier's audience...

Unbelievable. You are a genius. Please, don't die at 27

I think every musician just wants a crowd like this

Fans of Norm McDonald have a saying that “people go to see comedians to laugh, but comedians go to see Norm to laugh” and I feel like the same sort of thing applies to jacob if you said “people go to musicians to listen to music, but musicians go to Jacob to listen to music”

like how Jacob picks up the guys singing at 9:57

Ever so proud to have taught him at The Purcell School!

My favourite moment 9:56 when the guy sings ~night~ and Jacobs instincts kick in and he just can't help but immediately imitate the sound

first crowd I've ever heard hold a beat. That was magic in it's own right. The rest.. unbelievable.

That audience can keep time though! I always cringe a little when people start applauding because generally, a crowd keeping decent time is very rare. Well done audience!

There's one dude enjoying himself so much in the crowd! haha

Jacob Collier playing Blackbird at the Bluebird theater lol.

For me the most brilliant moment is when he starts losing control of the crowd and resets them in a single moment at 8:51 by just dropping it and picking it back up.

7:40 was a CLEAR ode to Bobby OMG IM CRYING

This bard rolled a twenty for his performance modifier.

Yes, I want that outfit. Secondly his generosity and the fun he is having with an audience so musically with him is so fun to watch. Agreed, his rich low tones are amazing. I wonder if Jacob will ever perform with Bobby McFerrin, now that would be sump'm to see!

Amazing! Is every JC audience made of musicians? They picked up every key change and tempo change from about 5:10 to the end. I love the way he draws his crowd in. Masterful.

When i listen to his music I don’t understand it, my mind can’t comprehend what am I actually listening to, and that’s why i love it, it’s something that’s too beautiful that I can’t explain

Genuinely made me cry. I've been binging JC's back catalogue for months but this video just did it. To hear someone with such a deep-seated understanding of music and harmony having so much fun with it, to see joyful collaboration between Jacob and this crowd, how he encourages participation and revels in the creation of harmony. Jacob is the coolest and most astonishing musician and he just has the encouraging attitude and humble nature of the very best kind of music teacher. This video really hit me in the covid 'missing live music' feels.

He's doing a conversation and how the audience response and be part of the harmony is truly is a rare experience

He looks SO happy!

I love how he gets off on people’s reactions and then plays with them. Not only is he having fun, but he’s having fun while everyone else is having fun! What a wonderful, talented human being. I wish I was young enough to be able to travel to see him, but alas, I don’t have the option. But thank you to whoever recorded this! At least I can enjoy watching from my living room. I’m a retired musician in my 60s and I love this kid!

4:10 fcks them with that modulation and then goes reverts back immediately

Can you imagine what a concert would be like featuring Jacob and Bobby McFerrin? Heaven!!!

Love the little nods to Bobby McFerrin in this

the most beautiful performer-audience synergy I've ever seen.

Shout out to Bobby McFerrin for influencing this guy so we can have this amazing music for another generation to enjoy.

The Bobby McFerrin influence is strong in this one

Only Jacob Collier can take an audience with all types of backgrounds and talents and turn it into a jazz combo.

what a joy to see a human actually being himself. total free to create as his music moves him. Stunning!!!

I love the way he dances while playing it. It remembers me he's just a normal person that loves music. We feel astonished by his work, but inside his mind all of this must be so simple as he is. He's hands down my favorite current musician.

What a tour de force! He plays the audience like an instrument. He even does air guitar. And it all makes sense, it all comes together.

This is borderline hypnotic. I'm certainly in a trance.

The most important musician of his generation. There is something magical underneath his skill that makes him transcendent; I've never heard anything quite like it.

Jacob can play an audience better than most people can play their own instrument

Jacob Collier serving us major Bobby McFerrin vibes

Amazing young fellow! This guy is far more than a TALENT and only of twentysome years. I'm 72 and this performance reminds me of Paul Simon's South African concert in many ways. I love all his performances where technical gadgets do not shadow but fortifiy his real musician uniquness.

This makes me so happy!

That Ab at 9:59 following some singer from the crowd hehehe

You always make me smile. Your innovation is astonishing. I remain in awe!

I just listened to this live in Lisbon. Really special moment.

OMG... JC continues to amaze and shock me. Brilliant! Salute. C.

beautiful voice + wild musical imagination = amazing

first time ive watched the full version of this. moved me to tears

Thank you for the video, I need to watch this often. I feel very fortunate to have seen a similar performance live of Blackbird by Jacob Collier in Berlin just last Saturday. I love this song and the way Jacob interpretate it. Make me cry, make me feel a part of something wonderful in this world, make me feel happy to live and sing with everyone.

This is magical! Just writing to say this old music major is flipping out.

A master of arranging, performing and musicianship! Bravo!

This makes me so happy after a day of such sad news. Music, if nothing else can bring us together 💓💓💓

A genius at work

seeing people this good makes me feel better about life somehow x

thank you for sharing! this is gorgeous

I got chills 6 separate times during this

Just ordered tickets for his upcoming tour. Can't wait to see this lad live

Joyous, glorious and mesmeric ......... and I only discovered this guy after a mention in a Steve Vai interview. Awesome!!!

Estuve esperando tanto tiempo para verlo por fin en BsAs, me lo perdí porque no me pagaron a tiempo. Veo esto y dan ganas de llorar.

MAN I haven't smiled so much while watching a performance in a long time!! This guy is incredible, and that audience was the best I've ever heard!

he has such character and personality even on stage i love it

....this is the next step.... unbelievable... simply..... pure music .... directly from the soul

what a talent, one of the best musicians of my life time without a doubt.

OMG I am so in love with Jacob, thank you NPR Tiny Desk for introducing me to this genius!!

Love it or not, seeing him perform with an overflowing passion really hooked us up till the end!!

I don’t think I’ve stopped smiling this whole video! I love how he’s enjoying himself so much and it’s infectious!❤️

an extraordinary young musician comes out through his pores ......... on this subject there is something about Bobby McFerrin @ ...... congratulations. from Chile.

The audience is so lucky! What an experience!! Looks like so much fun, genuine and organic engagement

One of the best musicians of our time!!!!!

Thanks for introducing me to such a master piece ❤

i've watched it several times and omg i'm still crying

The 21 st Century has just seen the rise of it's new greatest genius and it's still a kid ! A wonder !

Creativity-mindset located on the far outside-of-the-box-thinking! I hope ANY future music will be made with a mindset like this of Jacob Collier. Also, wonderful to see Jacob's live music performance interaction with the public aka music lovers aka music critics. In the case of this song re-make: Loving it! Well performed, giving a-lot to the public and recieving a-lot from the public. Very, very good job Jacob! One day you'll make the world a more better place, believe you me. =)

I always come back to this video

You are the most likeable genius I have ever seen.

9:02 the bass he plucked and going up chromatically with his singing and keyboard - literally the most amazing thing I’ve heard

Listening to this while tripping is seriously blowing my mind! Amazing

a new genius approach to music... this boy IS an entire orchestra/instrument. Brilliant

He clearly loves what he he does and that is admirable, he’ll never work a day in his life.

as soon as we sort out a time machine, this guy needs to jam with Mozart. that's a ticket i'd buy...

I just saw him preform this at his show the other night. it was an out of body experience.

This guy is extremely awesome and very captivating. Dragging his audience into making instant music is spectacular. This is called a truly gifted musician.

An amazing performance that stands on its own, yet surely pays homage to the great Bobby McFerrin's version, too.

This man is so talented, nothing but respect for this guy. But idk if i could sit through a whole set of this

The only musician I knw that can entertain anyone with just his voice and yet can play almost all the instruments.

This guy is incredible 🤩 🙏 I would love to have 1/8 of the half of his talent ..

This guy is ALWAYS in the flow.

His audience everytime is just👌🏽👌🏽 wanna be a part of it

The original is already nice...the touch you put on this version is outta this world!!!

Barely a minute in and I was already balling my eyes out.

He heard and sang in the pitch the guy towards the end completely validating him. You can hear him the rest of the time having the time of his life, diverging from the set pitch and creating his own tune. It’s just awe inspiring how one little thing gave this man the confidence to let his creativity flow. He also has a great voice. Made my day and gave me a little hope for the good in humanity.

The harmonies he makes are epic

Thank you for reminding me why I love music

Master Class on musical improvisation!

観客をいつの間にかひとつにしてるこの空間、、！素敵！すごいなぁ。

Insane this kid. Seeing him in Oslo next year, Feb 16th. That's gonna be nuts

The crowd was simply amazing

You mine a rich seam when the youtube algorithm helps you with your recent interest in Jacob is piqued... Thanks to the uploader, great quality. Bravo!

Thanks so much for filming and posting this; we all marvel at Jacob's ability to soar with high notes, and now his voice is coming into it's own at the deeper ranges. Something we really haven't heard much before, featured here so fluently and with hilarious presentation. He just keeps getting greater!

I can't stop smiling watching this

dude just brings joy

Bro once Jacob masters beat boxing its over for everyone hes a true master of his craft. Long live Jacob Collier!!!

I’m in love tbh
