That blasting at 5:23 is the most epic thing ever.

If u don’t play sousaphone u can’t imagine how bloody hard it is to do what he does

HOLY CRAP THAT GUY IS SWEATING LIKE NO TOMARROW! HOLY CRAP THAT GUY CAN REALLY HIGH ON A LOW BRASS!

As a tuba player myself, I've gotta say this is fucking incredible! I love to hear Nat rip into it at 2:11!

Those dislikes are definitely flute and piccolo players.... THEY'RE MAD THE TUBAS TAKING THEIR ROLE!!!!

This video is legitimately the reason I am still playing music. When I first saw it six years ago, I was a 20-year-old who missed marching band. this inspired me to Keep pursuing music in nontraditional ways. Now I'm in a weird hippie marching band doing paid gigs all over Chicago. Thanks, Nat. And thanks, Adam for sharing this.

Back to the practice room I go

I died when he screamed into the sousaphone XD

Actually that is a King 2350 sousaphone. It doesn't have short action valves like the 20k does and doesn't have the loop on the valve section like the 20k. Great performance. I wish I was that good.

I just want to say thank you God for my ears to hear such wonderful sounds. And thank you to the KZfaq algorithm for showing me this amazing clip. Until yesterday, I had never heard this before or knew anything about the Youngblood Brass band. I have replayed from about 05:13 onward over 50 times since just last night. Everything about this is perfect; the way he dances with the tuba, the way he is sweating, the conducter, the other horns in the back. This right here took me back to my preteen years when I first fell in love with the sound of the tubas and the marching band in general. Oh my lord is all I can say. I am blown away and this man and his sound has made me decide right here and now that I am purchasing a tuba within the next week to pursue my true passion...being in a band and blasting my little heart out on this big horn. I haven't played since college in 20 years so I am excited to see how much I remember and how far I can go with it. Wish me luck guys!

I got to see this concert... SO AMAZING in person! he's so great :)

Will never forget this night ever.

Listening to this piece for like last 5 years or so. I am not into big band music at all, but i love music overall. And i totally love Nat's playing style, using his voice, hence wide spreading tube's natural tone range and overall tone color. AWESOME!

cant stop hear this right now... man... sounds awesome, the solist and the whole band

5:23 Loudest horn ever played :D:D

That conductor is my idol

We need make Nat and Øystein Baadsvic battle on tuba

This guy is a legend! :D

Sweet sound!!! At 4:40 he's playing double sound!!! Fantastic!!! Soprano 4th octave? hahahaha

Nothing beats this version for me. Love overall track mood and Nat's use of voice is awesome and gives another nice layer to already awesome sound.

keep in mind the micing technique. He places the mic pretty deep in the bell, which makes it incredibly clear than a centered or side mic'd sousa. It is definitely a Bb, you can tell by the tubing. The cat has mad chops and can play clean, dont try to put that credit on the horn.

omg! my brown sweatshirt was signed by him here! i love this guy:) he's so nice!

this dude is beast i've met him once and he's possibly on of the coolest people i've ever met

Came back to this video after hearing Brooklyn played during the Kansas St. Montana St. NCAA basketball game. Took me a second to remember where I knew the tune from

My God it is amazing

This may very well be the most awesome thing I've seen this year. . .

Super killer solo!! Also, is it just me or does an Nat look like Dwight Schrute?

never don't stop play!!! You are amazing !!!

Dude... I've been looking for this video for almost two years. ARG!!

My seven-year-old son is convinced he wants to play the tuba. I've alternately been showing him clips of Nat and Daellenbach.

He sounds like a brass, bass guitar!!

It’s my goal to play this as well as he does one day

Love this video❤️🎵🎶

You are the best ! It's great !! :-)

You have to see and hear this !! Kunst & Genoegen, Brooklyn - 3 okt 2012

I wish our jazz band was this big. Now thats a real big band

FANTASTIC!!!

Youngblood is from Wisconsin, so a lot of the local people had seen them play before. Nat went to UW, and one of their trumpet players was in the UW band (I think). So that's how we knew them...

i was here for this!! he played warrior comes out to play.

Top top!!! Legend.

beautiful

Extraordinary performance!!!!

Dude looks like the 3rd chair tuba in every marching band

espectacular sin palabras...

Amazing performance

Needs more tuba

I hope some day ill be able to be apart of the badger band!!! Honestly the hardest working college band and respected so much.

5:11 Goosebumps!!!

Nate McIntosh. Best. Sousaphonist. Ever. Playing a trombone part while relaxing... and awesome solos... Even if I prefer Original Youngblood Brass Band version, this one is incredible.

Really awsome... really, really really... I would like to play like this guy...

I got to :^) I'm one of the trumpet players. When he annouced he was playing with us, all the youngblood fans in the band were hella pumped. About 15 of us didn't even need the music...

que incrível!!!!

I live in Russia in the city of Barnaul and I play in the best orchestra in Russia in RHYTHM BAND we also play Brooklyn and I play this solo on I play it without multiphonics but from now on I will teach like this

never seen aband with that many brass....nice

yo toco tuba y algun dia quisiara ser como el asi como el toca 😌👌

Awesome !

Anyone in 2019?

Magnífico!

You're spot on that this is jazz being playing in a concert setting - or rather, being tried to.

TALENT

O som da Tuba simplesmente Apaixonante !

perfect...

uoooojojojo bieeen!!

Temasoo!!

Initialdluvr, I'm taking a shot at this. Nat's flexiblity on the horn is very good, so a lot of "breaks" he does in between the drum stops are a combination of these: half valving, stacatto notes with/ voice (Multiphonics), voice with a flutter tongue without playing the instrument, and voice alone during the scratches and yell.

Impresionante!

gr8 playing...

Damn! He is so freakin good.

wow, that many of you know about him? i didn't even learn about this song until my friend who is tuba nerd showed me it, but i'm really glad he did, cuz this song's awesome.

thats sick

awesome

Good morning, I am french. I can say to you that you have many fans frenchs. Really very good!!

Damn. They have such a good and controlled sound for being a brass band that large. Not to mention how amazing of a sousaphone solo that is.

I never watched the concert put on by the University. But I did once,on PBS. And it was this show. My jaw was on the floor. That’s the baddest ass bitchin tones ever produced by way of brass. You literally have to crawl into that instrument and put in on! Wraps around you like an anaconda. It would never dare to tame a beast like that. What a cool instrument. I’d love to hear this guy play a tune with the Barry Sax player from Tower of Power. Not a battle. Just play. Imagine the portal that would open!

@ShaggyOtis This is our MARCHING band. We are not serious about our music quality as much as our show and big-ten feel.

We're going to need a bigger band.

Fera bravo 👏👏👏

cette musique est magique

this guy is frekin sweet

esteem m8... amazing -man :D

I love the rip :D

Chills - man. Just chills. Find some Rich Matteson from the 70's - doing all kinds of singing through the tuba. FANTASTIC.

woooo nice number one

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool very niceeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!

god i love this song! He plays the solo in the beginning just brilliant even tough it's played by a trombone in the original.

The drummer can't even ruin this monster performance.

Powerful player

Goooodd

Nat the one and only

That's the shit >>awesome..i am hooked..love big blow.

Esse é o cara

His growls on point

HOLY SHIT!

dioooooss que temazo

muito bom coisa de primeira linha top

Shout out to the trumpet players who can't hold their horns correctly!
