Sam's voice is pure sunshine in this, and Ren's is all smoke and jazz. Such a fantastic contrast. I love how rapt the crowd is; when Ren gets soft, you could almost hear a coin drop. And in all of his live videos, I get excited whenever Ren leans down to fiddle with the pedal board, because you never know what might happen next!

You react with not only words, but with physical responses to what you hear. Keep going strong!

I know you'll be happy to hear Sam Tompkins is living his childhood dreams atm. He's starting to blow up & he just finished a tour opening for Bieber. Now he's getting ready for his Premier Album release & his very own European/North American tour. Here are his latest singles.😁🤩 Sam Tompkins - Time Will Fly Sam Tompkins - Lose It All (Live Session) Sam Tompkins - See Me (Live) | Vevo DSCVR)

Art just pours out of Ren. I get teared up even on songs that aren't sad

Ren singing and performing is something that makes you stop and get inside his universe,it’s such a subtle attraction that you can’t even understand it right away ! His artists friends are incredible but Ren has it all… 1 in a century ❤ It’s so good to see you enjoying the amount of emotions this guys bring…

Another enjoyable reaction. I would recommend "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard," a Big Push busking performance next. It shows another side of Ren's talent and also shows Gorran Kendell's vocal skills. Well worth a reaction video. If you want to do a Sam Tompkins solo reaction, here is a list of recommendations: "Bloodline," "Hero," "Follow Suit," “Whole,” “Not So Grey,” "You Broke My Heart So Gently," "Critical," "You're The Love Of My Life," “Google Luv,” "Ten Feet Apart," and his cover of Tears For Fears' "Mad World" are beautiful, but his entire catalog is well-worth listening to. I usually prefer the acoustic version of his songs. His latest release, "Time Will Fly," is currently my favorite song of his and one of my favorite songs overall, with "See Me" and "Lose It All" running close behind. His rendition of "How To Save A Life (Cover)" is also stunning and reveals his soulfulness. Unfortunately, it is way too short, not the full-length version of the original.

I love the way you see AND feel the music. Every time.

Imagine making such a large crowd utterly quite like that in a show!!!! I'd think not many artist can do that so easily... especially outdoors on the street!

Joe E, i thought you knew Ren could beatbox. For real, now you just need to do both versions of Genesis back to back! This is the way! 😂

Chinchilla's live version of Little Girl Gone is gonna twist you! Im so excited to see your reaction! Your reactions are so much fun! I bet id even enjoy watching you react to something you didnt like!

Great reaction as always! I watch a lot of reactions lately but you are one of my favorite reactors cuz you are genuine and humble and that pulls me in.... Thank you for continuing to react to Ren!

These are the little gold nuggets that blow us away! Ren and Sam doing their busking thing and an audience lucky enough to witness the magic! So appreciate how you see the intricacies in these videos and share your enthusiasm with us ❤❤❤

Respect to Joe for being so familiar with the original classics, that he can enjoy the lyrics, melodies and vocal iterations already imbedded in his head. I had a similar feeling the first time I enjoyed this performance, because just like Joe; I was called back to the originals, yet almost cried at the nuanced inflections on show here. This is the opposite of one of them awful "talent" shows. These two know their craft and know when to take 20% off the top for a specific line or verse, and understand the original songs enough to respectfully and creatively play within the boundaries, without just wailing at the top of you voice and adding too many flourishes where the lyrics and meaning and pace deserve quite the opposite. Wonderful reaction.

My favourite busking vid of theirs! So much power in their voices! So much soul in the whole thing! Just amazing! Another great reaction brother and love watching you get into it! 👌🤙🤌❤️🔥

Sam's got 3 US tour dates in October, just so ya know, Joe. ;) I sincerely hope that Ren and his collaborators never get so famous that they are unable to busk in Brighton. Even once he is able to do more traditional concerts, I think busking will provide something to fuel him in a very special way. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

One of my faves! When I saw this it was the first time I realized just how good Rens voice really was, and saw him beatboxing. IMO it’s one of the best displays of his range of talents. This and Sweet Little Lady live acoustic :)

Your reactions to this music is joyful. I love your video breakdowns, but the way you get emotionally involved in the music is infectious. This has been my favorite thing about Ren and the musicians he's aligned himself with. I haven't watched people have this sort of reaction to music in so long.

9:35 “ the moment joe realizes it was ren doing the sound ( beatbox ) got me laughing 😂😂

This crowd of people to watch Ren a few years ago. Imagine what it would be like now.

My favorite Ren busking video. This one is incredible!

Sir, I LOVE watching you FEEL the music so much. You react to the feeling the way I feel. I love finding people that can feel the music the way I do, or at least express it the way I do.

Love Sam & Ren. I'm blown away that Ren Is Self Taught. They are all Musically Talented. I'm 58 snd I listen to Ren and Sam also Chinchillas music. ❤

I so love when Sam is singing Falling And there is Ten Playing and jumping tween beatboxing percussion and singing harmonies 😂😂😂❤❤❤

Absolutely phenomenal performance. Loved seeing you reacting to this Joe E!

So, I'm about 99% convinced Ren's guitar bit at the end is inspired by a track called "Maggot Brain" by the band Funkadelic and featuring the guitarist Eddie Hazel. The ostinato Ren puts on the loop pedal is lifted straight from "Maggot Brain" and the tones he wrestles out of his guitar are very reminiscent of it as well.

Thanks so much for this one Joe E! Absolutely another amazing duet! The collaborations are just unreal, and enjoy watching your review and overall appreciation for just good talent! Much love, have a great day!

Love all your reactions! I am hooked!

Ren has a bit of a Marty Mcfly time at the end with his guitar 🎸 😊

Ren's version of Man's world blows me away every time....

Your reaction drew out all my emotions like the first time I heard it even though I've watched it over at BP's and many other reactions. You really love these guys, as do I!

Sam is perfection but Ren is captivating. Love your description of Ren as a 3D artist.

So far this is my favorite of their busking duets collaborations whatever you wanna call it

Love Sam and Ren ♡ thanks for a great reaction once again, love your body language and how expressive you are when you really like something ♤♡♤

I love that you show how much music moves you! I can't listen to good music without moving, it's so evocative, I love seeing others feel it and love it the way I do!! Thank you so much for this reaction! Sam and Ren are both at the top my my playlist right now! Thanks for showing so much love to such amazing artists! ❤❤

How cool would it be if you happened to have been there to witness that now they’re both blowing up now !!! 🤯🤯

Thanks! Love your energy regarding our Ren and now Sam. ❤

this one's great - love the fact that could be little Sam and little Ren sat in front of them.

My favorite Mr Falsetto and Ren 😁 I'll come by and listen to these two all day long❤

Aw man you make me smile throughout the entire thing. I really love watching you react! You feel about it the same as many of us do. BTW I tend to skip reactors intros but I love yours. Can totally see the quality of it - you being a professional videographer. Nice work all around!!!!!!

I love his guitar playing it here it reminds so much of buckethead and that absolutely makes my jaw drop

Whenever I feel a bit blue.. I come find one of your reactions.. and then all is well with the world again.. thank you for always just being you!!! ♥️

The people just casually walking past,getting on with their lives dont realise they are in the presence of genius.

Rens use of dissonance is amazing!!!

I appreciate your enthusiasm on this song. Sam T is a very talented artist, musician. Thanks for your reaction. Peace and blessings to you.

Hi Joe E, I agree with with Sam's falsetto, it naturally comes from deep with in. But Rens guitar playing another dimension, that ending wow! I'm sure you had a little tear there...of joy. You may need a larger space to jump around...Peace☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓

REN and Sam Two of the best ❤️ Awesome reaction man

They are great together! Love your reactions!

I love how into it you get, my dude; you have a great vibe here. Love your channel! I've come to the conclusion that Ren only surrounds himself with outstandingly talented people. It's amazing, and this is such a fun ride! Another fun rabbit hole to tumble down is Streetlight Manifesto, especially if you like horns. My introduction to them was "We Will Fall Together", and it's still one of my favorite tracks. "Would You Be Impressed?", "Point/Counterpoint", "Keasbey Nights", "Here's to Life", "A Moment of Silence/A Moment of Violence", "A Better Place, A Better Time", "Somewhere in the Between", "The Hands that Thieve", their cover of Squirrel Nut Zippers' "Hell"... so many good tunes!

Thank You Joe e no why😆👍🏻💙 I was 😆😆😆when the ad interrupted and you sang a little to fill the space...lightened my moment thank you 💙💎🕊️

Loving your reactions Joe

OH SHIT, HERE WE GO!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I adore your reactions, Joe! ❤

Dang meetings, sorry I missed the premier! Love your reactions.

Love your reaction to this! They both are amazing together.

Love this song. Love your reactions. ❤

Just love your reactions joe….😊

Great reaction❤

One of my favorite videos! I felt all your emotions, Joe! Love it!

Ya so sweet Joe E love your reactions 😍☺️ beautiful performance again.. 🤗

Love how you feel the music ❤

Those dudes are amazing!!!

came from BP's channel! love me some ren, great reaction bro

They really feel the music, and so do you. ❤

What up Joe E. Keep on doing what you’re doing man. I hope to see you at a million subs one day. Best of luck. 🤘🏻

Much love brother.

just found you and really like your different take to reacting from all the other creators ive seen

Anyone else getting Eddie Hazel/Funkadelic/Maggot Brain vibes from that guitar? 🔥🔥🔥

Just noticed your background shelf. Click on Rens' page. Select store. Click on an item. You'll see another store icon at the top of the page. Click that. You'll see items you might be interested in (?)

darren hayes insatiable live (the time machine tour) has a amazing falsetto voice

Sam is appearing in Brooklyn New York this month

I love your reactions. It's weirdly fun to watch you figure this out.....but you're a genuinely sweet and talented guy.......But, honestly you had me the first time I saw you with the Bulls hat. I know we suffer the same

Yes man ! 💯 R e s p e c t 🎯

Awesome reaction...as always. Sams range is truly amazing with a nice falsetto...BUT...I think he has competition for the top spot...Mitch Grassi (From an A'Cappela group called Pentatonix) has a good claim too...when he hits his they call it "A Mitch-Slapping"... I'd recommend checking him out...unless you've already come across them. Stay safe...see you on the next one

You and Ren get the same look on your face while he's playing.

❤❤❤

🔥🔥🔥

I hate to do this because it should be all about Sam and Ren, but I would really like to see you. Do a reaction to Kacey chambers at her cover of Eminem's Lose yourself.

🔥

You should look at some of Jinjer's videos. I'd love to know what you think about the filming of Pieces, live session. Their other music videos are pretty amazing as well.

Pretty good for a couple of dudes on the street. LoL. I'm not sure, but I think I'm getting a little Prince vibe from Ren's guitar on this one.

Nice Joker (dark knight) reference.... and, here we... go.. lol

❤😊

C'mon Joe E you better than that! Get that premium! Commercials are Bush league 😂

Sam tompkins lose it all live is fantastic. Also bloodline and hero. Please

I ended up getting the youtube red thing so i didnt have to watch adds anymore. Maybe you should try it? Im loving the reaction.

Everytime an ad pops up while filming, I think you should get paid too. Imo

Sup Joee, I'm only here to snoop 😁

I listened to Alicia keys after this and was really surprised at how it didn't sound as rich(soul like)😎😈

You're in CO, tons of buskers on Pearl/16th Street malls.

I just realized you haven’t done Ren with Eden Nash - Humble or Ocean! You’re really missing out with both of these although Humble is my personal fave.

lol Joe, I completely understand and the same happened to me when I started listening to good music hahaha or MUSIC in capital letters... I could never look back and listen to dumb sh*t anymore hahaha Loved your "reaction" in every sense 🔥

You liked it then? 😄❤🇬🇧

Continue down Ren rabbit hole. He is different. Then switch up with Tool here and there. Pneuma live to see best drummer on planet.

Do blind eyed man nuff said

Hello everyone

I just realized that Ren needs to do "Mad World" by Tears For Fears. It would sound SO GOOD!!

Sam may be up there with Curtis Mayfield.

#like 0:17

I'm curious to get your take on Sam Tompkins more recent stuff. For me it seems like he can't really reach these high notes anymore but I'm no expert. It just doesn't sound as clean to me.

What do you say? i dunno about you, but I say play it again.
