Forgive me lord, I will practice more.

i have never met a man who has both destroyed me and inspired me so heavily at the same time

Will someone please wrap him in plastic bubbles every time he travels? I need to know what music he's making in 30, 40 years from now.

In the future Jacob will be in history books I swear

He must be very intelligent. Setting your brains into instruments en beats. Very Impressive. He has got a new fan. 59 years old, bassist, double bass en 5-string, highly respect this man

To quote a comment on another Collier video: _"His favourite instrument is the audience"_ The audience inclusion, his energy, his mad music and raw genius is beyond words. This is one instance where it's a blessing _'to be played'._

What I love about his music is that it's complex and interesting and actually sounds good. It's not just exploring complex theory for the sake of doing so...it's fairly complex harmony that's still accessible and sounds good to the untrained ear

woah his personality is adorable

Awesome. To those complaining there's not a live band, or that there's some backing, a few points: - the guts of the mix are made in front of us, clearly improvised, with some amazingly daring one-off licks. When you have to play overa groove for 5 mins, you have to nail it, and he does, every time. Most of us mortals would play it safe and he never does. - live bands struggle massively to play with any kind of looping, only the originator knows it inside out and if they miss a cue the gig is screwed. If you don't like looping, er, blame James Brown and others, who popularised the idea of repetitive groove 50 years ago. It has been outselling other forms of music ever since, so Jacob is entitled to harness it. - if you want to hear all the tracks live you are going to have to pay 10x the ticket price for the massive orchestra required. - do you really want to sit there for 5 mins while he builds the entire first groove from scratch? and then another 5 for the next section? I think not - what he is doing is a great compromise, the suspense of starting off a groove, then bringing in the recorded stuff with style. Also note he changes the mix for every video, no mean feat, most musicians would just recycle it. He is a total pro and has thought hard about the process, please don't pretend you know better or could do better. People always used to go on about KT Tunstall cos she does a bit of looping. This is several dimensions above that, no offence to her or others who can do it. No-one else does it this intricately. Let's not pretend we have seen it all before. While there are some great musos and performers and composers out there, no-one else on the planet possesses all these skills in one go. Yours, desperate to see this in person...

Ahhh Jacob - You didn't tell the audience to modulate! LOL The smart ones figured it out as they went. I don't know how you kept track of it all and kept singing in the right key without a comping instrument. Amazing. And the gospel piano just took it to the moon. Mad love from California.

This is more than just an amazing music performance. This is entertainment at its highest level.

Best singalong I've ever been part of.

Jesus christ how much more groovy can it get?

moments like 1:38 is what its all about for me. when you can have so much fun with just a simple 2 note idea and make the whole room laugh, you know youre making real music. its the little things that matter.

From Lebanon. Words are too limited for you. You are epic!

I cant help but smile and laugh this music is so uplifting and brilliant... I have never experienced the same vibe from anyone else on the planet... Jacob Collier is from the future and came back to show us love and energy is all we need.

My word, half the fun of this performance is watching him jump from one thing to the next. He does it all with such finesse. Color me impressed

He practiced 40 hours a day for sure

What the hell just happened. I mean, i just want to sit and admire the way he is. He's an amazing musician, so much confidence and so much groove. WOOOOW

This is like seeing Mozart for the first time. You know this is something extraordinary. Perhaps greatest musical genius of a century! Imagine him 20 years from now.

This young man will change the way we approach music like only a few have in the past I'm 64 I will never stop learning and I hope I can see the light reach everyone before I die

I am 58 years of age, so I would not be considered the 'demographic' for Jacob's music! That said, this 25 yo is a musical genius! Much like how I enjoy how a magician does his trick, please don't offer to show me how he/she does the 'trick'. I just want to wallow in and enjoy the man at work! 'nuff said :)

Playing bass like that independently of singing. So sick. Unreal

Jacob Collier is a musical genius!

Practice makes perfect, But perfect can't make a Jacob...

Always fun to watch Jake. Can't wait to get home to play guitar again. This guy is very inspiring

0:38 Don't you know it's not polite to play a dank reharmonized clav bassline over your words while you're speaking? smh the nerve

He and Andersoon .Paak should make a dope song!!

Wow, what a gift Jacob has been given and his control of his instruments and the crowd is truly inspirational!! Unbelievably talented. Thank you.

saw this guy perform with Snarky Puppy in London, he is an absloute genuis.

Well without a doubt ,that is the best audience participation musical event i've ever seen, Jacob Collier must be from another planet....

Jaco Pastorius and Geddy Lee meets Frank Zappa and Sam Robson with the voice of Kermit the Frog. The most amazing performance I've ever seen!

This dude takes crowd participation to another level. WOW.

this guy gives me faith in humanity

dangerous song to listen to in online classes. the groove hits to hard lol

Lyrics on the screen for the sing-along segment... Brilliant. Much better idea than announcing the lyrics before the song performance. ;-)

I feel inadequate

I don’t think I have ever seen such talent before in my life!! EVER!! I’m So happy I found Jasón Collier!! ❤️💜👍👏🏻👏🏻

How can someone be so talented? Unbelievable

What an amazing artist. Saw him for the first time the Okeechobee Music Festival earlier this year and was completely blown away!

It's so funky that I don't how dirty I am right now.

that snare sound is to die for

Jacob is adorable.

ummmmm dude modulated keys in the middle of a sing-along.....

Genius comes in many forms. Here's one!

Master of all trades

This would be awesome in a stadium. Split them down the middle and jam. Just incredible. Good on you Jacob. : )

Making a separate folder just for Jacob Collier videos.

i feel like this is a movie and he just got some random magic spell that makes whatever he does sound amazing

he’s so adorable

Jacob Collier is a God of Music

sooo goodddd and he holds the crowd so well! gotta love him, gotta love jacob 👌

wow... jacob... Amazing...!

Someone clone this legend and give him the neural connected band he deserves!

From Venezuela, I'm delighted with your music and your mind

That was something else!!!! INCREDIBLE!

Jacob you are connected to the music Universe!!! Congrats!!!

When I first saw this video, I thought that he’s the first person who plays instruments like playing sports, literally how does he do this

so beautifull

What an absolute gem of a human being

Thank YOU !

Alone he is from heaven. Alone and over sampled he is still from heaven! How can that child play all those instruments so incredibly well? only heaven knows!!

iNSTANTLY converted to mp3!.. what a journey

How is this even possible!?...this man is a got damn music guru!!!

This fucking video changed my life...

Jacob, a master in every instrument he plays, including the crowd.

That was amazing.

My head just EXPLODED...He at Chuch...

In a word: genius! 💖

I'm trying not to fall in love with him. What am i supposed to do now? 💕 This is insane!!! ♥️😍

Insanely Great!

Boy, that is fine young man I should say. With all this music thing, you now. Brilliant.

This made my day

out of this world,*****

muito top, só eu que sou do Rio de Janeiro que assisto isso , fã brasileiro. Brasil 🇧🇷❤

Legendary talent of our times!!

I love the clavi so much!!!

Thank u Prince and Mozart 4 inspiring such talent and THIS 1! 😉👍

music for musicians

I love how he casually does his own voice pattern on the keyboard while talking at the begining

What a talent ! I am loat for words, and only 25 years old. Holy Molly.

I just want to listen to some random music while I work, but this guy makes it impossible. I have to see everything he does on stage to believe it.

To those that are saying Jacob Collier sucks or has no soul or doesn't connect with his audience, you need to understand... Jacob is literally on a whole new plane of existence when it comes to mastery of music theory. Those of you that dislike his music are probably those that also listen to mind-numbing pop music which follows a 4-chord structure with absolutely no variety or substance to the music. Then you've got Jacob Collier, who literally infuses so much substance into his music that most people cannot follow him. There's a reason so many people are calling him the next Mozart; he hears music differently and is able to adapt to many different styles without even breaking a sweat. This IS the next level of musical progress (it was supposed to be atonality... what a joke that was.). Anyone that is watching this is witnessing the next musical genre being born. Jacob Collier is a genius. Enjoy his music for what it is.

amazing.

Jacob....gênio!!!...maravilhoso!!!...👏👏👏🎼🎵🎶🎹🎸🎧🎤👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟

GENIUS

That bass tone tho 🔥🔥

oh my god!

God bless this guy. O MAluco é brabo!
