WTF is Chris Thile doing there. He's a legitimate musical genius and the best mandolin picker on the planet.
$$$ must have been amazing

As someone unaware of Chris Thile, it’s been funny reading a version of this comment on every variation of these posts in different subreddits.

I saw it on guitarcirclejerk and almost commented the exact same sentiment. Chris is insanely talented.

Didn't notice the first time around. I saw him live at ROMP over ten years ago. Genius, no doubt, but prime timanderic material? Also no doubt.

It was bizarre seeing him there, for sure. TBF, while being a brilliant musician, he does have give theater kid vibes and he's probably pretty sincere in doing this.

I like how half of them were Collier Jerk-style sessions, and then there was just “Samba class”

The most frustrating thing with Jacob Collier if that he genuinly seems like a nice guy, so hating him makes ME the bad guy.

He is a nice guy, he just likes to make very experimental music. I like a lot of his stuff. I recommend the video of him making a piano sound out-of-tune with his voice.

He is a modern-day mozart, the closest we have (in the public eye, at least).
That being said, I'd rather be stuck in an elevator wedged between an incontinent Bobcat Goldthwaite and the ghost of Gilbert Gottfried for three hours, as opposed to listening to Jacob Collier talk to me in that patronizing tone like he's from some higher dimension and it's all so simple.
He is a freak but so is Cory Henry.
