I think this is a seriously underrated comment. What he's doing is INSANELY difficult (because of course it is Jacob Collier). Like he's clearly not playing along to any track or metronome because even the banter is done in one shot. So he has to keep track of every single instrument and voice's moment that he's playing including all the ones he hasn't yet played. I'm assuming the piano and keys was the first take because that seems to be the easiest one to build off of, but even then there are so many changing rhythms and dead space in that one part that his internal metronome must be absurdly accurate. This is an absolutely astounding feat.

So yeah don't get me wrong still super cool, but definitely not all live in one take

10:34. He Wont Hold You is simply staggering. I havent been moved by a song like this in literally decades. Sometimes I cant get a song out of my head, but in this case I cant get this song out of me...like all of me. Period. Speechless.

Aside from the incredible writing and musicianship of these songs. The fact that this video isn’t edited is absolutely mind blowing. This means he did all of this in one take, flawlessly... four times. Even more impressive, remembering the in between conversation. When people do these types of videos where they have multiple versions of themselves, there’s a disconnect between the versions. This actually felt like there where four of him jamming and talking to each other. Very hard to convince and he did it. Didn’t know there could be so much talent in one video. Truly remarkable.

7:55 Jacob on drums makes stick fall, Jacob on bass just look at him like "man be careful". This is just genius, we have no idea how ridiculously skilled you have to be to do a one shoot 16min live session with yourself, including talking in between song, synchronizing every Jacob to play on time, memorizing the whole live set..

I've been thinking about this from the very beginning of the video and I think I have a good idea: he recorded the keyboards first, then the drums, then the bass and then the vocals. Due to his amazing memory (which we all know he has) he was able to remember what happened in which previous take and reference it later (also letting his future self some room, like the bass player talking before drums). This is all that I wish I could do, but would take me waaay too much time and effort that might be better spent elsewhere. :) What an intelligent artist. Complete alien.

@@maldivirdragonwitch I'm pretty sure he has a 16 minute click-track set up for the whole performance, which he hears through his headphones. The click-track also probably include good cues on when exactly to say specific things, et cetera. It wouldn't surprise me if he even made 4 separate click tracks with demo versions of all the instruments, e.g. when he records the piano he hears the demo version of the drum, bass, hang and the other vocals. That's at least how I would do it and I cannot really think of a different way to do it. Still it's absolutely incredible how tight all of the parts are given that everything has to be single-take, this performance is really really awesome.

just wanted to say that that song 'he won't hold you' really hit me in the feels, thanks

Just found Jacob today from a recommendation and am just blown away. This is about my 6th vid now and just proves his genius. The only person I can compare him to In outright talent is prince, only Jocob is a new generation. At his age doing this? He could be our generations Mozart.

We are really blessed living in a time where some of the greatest geniuses in each area can freely explore all their potential due to almost no concerns about equipments or basic human needs (food, medicine, security, etc.). We could enjoy the most of it if we only admire them and stop thinking we never could match their abilities.

I know was able to do it. But that he was able to think of all of this and the perform it. Imagine getting to the third song on the last take and dropping a stick or hitting a wrong note (probably impossible for Jacob tho). Just amazed at his precision in timing.

I keep going back to this. The healing power of this concert is magical.

I love the way that when drummer Jacob dropped the drum stick around 7.50, it wasn't edited out!!!!

I have the feeling that this will be his most popular video yet. The illusion of 4 Jacobs is so strong that that the comments are jokingly gonna be like “it IS 4 Jacobs”, because it’s THAT good. It really DOES feel like there are 4 Jacobs in front in the camera. He pulls off the feeling of a live concert while it be pre-recorded. It demonstrates both his musical and video-editing abilities (and above all, patience) in one vid. I really think this is the performance that has captured the entirety of his skill that EVERYONE can understand. This is the video I would show to anyone who is unaware of him, which, thankfully, is getting increasingly difficult.

Not just musical and video-editing abilities, but also planning abilities (although that might not seem as cool). I'm pretty sure he's already recorded each track, and then muting the one he's recording video for so that he can be in complete sync with the other tracks. Basically, I think he recorded this concert 8 times (4 times audio only). I could be wrong though, he probably has a bunch of tricks that he's learnt over the years.
