saw sam and jacob do this show in a church in east london- it was the most special and memorable show i’ve been to in memory. firmly reminded me that at the end of the day, this is what it’s all about. this is the stuff!

You have no idea how much joy you guys bring me

Sam is one of my favorite musicians to watch play. He is equal parts smiles and stank-face and his playing does the same to me.

Sam Wilkes is one of most creative individuals i've ever listened to.

When two brilliant arrangers & producers & btw musicians meet... This is gold.

The YT algorithm finally came through for me. So glad I got to listen to this.

Wish i caught it live. Sam's bass face is almost as good as his playing JK love you guys

Next to. Those last few bars... It took me a while to sus that Wilkes is producing that distorted, tortured sax in the mist, yearning in the haze. The final sequence is crucial, landing checklist, holds a note and on the beat knocks out the squelchly ear suckling rythym. Water cascades like music. I couldn't tell you who's in charge of which sounds. Wilkes gets configured, glances to Mann, who nods like a cosmic kat, and hits an emphatic one, and they go round four bars. And then the sound dries right up. There's a string squeak, a swish, an angel's whisper, and like all good things, it's gone.

fucking love these two, so it's a delight to catch them in loop duet mode like this! just lovely :)

I wish there was anything in the world that made me as happy as playing face melting bass lines makes Sam happy.

Thanks fro sharing....Diggin that Jacob's keyboard, I reckon it is called 'Rolando'. Rolando is also slang for 'happening' in Portuguese...Fitting. Also real cool to see the Yamaha DX7, these cats know how to use these unique vintage instruments in a very creative way. Sam's use of looped grooves and textures and effects on the bass are always a treat. Gorgeous chord changes on Song #4 .... ''next to :)"

Phenomenal set, thanks!

thank you sooooo much❤❤👨‍🚀

Sam shredding and coming up with all those licks, man

This is god damn magic

Music that make me laugh and my eyes well at the same time. GDamn. Thanks for this.

39:52 gosh man. All that’s great and good in the world is contained right here

I believe the band personnel description is wrong...

Sick show! FYI you've got the personnel in the description backwards. Sam is the bass player, Jacob's on keys.

los quiero mucho

Thanks for taking me :there: - Poland greets Rolando. Great stuff.

WOW 😮

thank you so much for videoing and recording this so well! such a fantastic performance

I love these two musicians!

So fucking good, man ❤

So according to the video's description, Jacob Mann is the one playing synth and bass while Sam Wilkes is playing the "piano". Seems legit. 👍

26:20

Huh. My name is also Sam Wilkes

can someone explain who rolando is?

💖🦭💖

who is dr T then?

Does Sam have an extra vertebrae?

It's so fucking weird to hear his voice in HD sound.

It's like when Blink 182 Broke up and Sam went his own way to explore his creative differences when he could have been making real money

this first track is goooorgeous
