Jacob is not a touring artist, he's a touring composer. The genius of tuning and warming up the audience before he begins lets them know that they will be heavily involved in the performance. The reasons for doing this is also beautiful. He often teaches that there is no wrong note, just a lack of confidence and commitment to the emotion you wish to portray. Not everyone in the crowd was on the same note when they were singing, but most people have the ability to pitch correct to some degree when singing with a crowd. The result is technically this massive chord that really shouldn't sound good based on music theory rules, but it does. He's showing that anyone can do what he does with the right conviction, and that is an amazing message shown through actions rather than words.

As usual, this is the most tuned audience out of any artists!

Once in a hundred years a musician is born with this innate understanding of the bridge between music and the human soul. Jacob- you give us hope for all of humanity. What a gift!

It's magical to see what can happen when you're entire fan base are music nerds. Oh, to have been there!

We were walking back from the Indian restaurant just up the road and see everyone outside the O2, wondering what'd happened, with the fire engine and all. Then we just see this (well, bits of it from a distance). Incredible.

Someone in the comments asked how Jacob could play so many different instruments, and one response was “I think the secret…is be a musician first. After that…instruments are just tools. He doesn't really ‘play’ any particular instrument. He plays ‘music’.” I think you can take it a step deeper than that. Jacob is a good musician because he’s a good human. By good, I don’t mean free of mistakes, we all make them. I mean that in every performance, interview, or video I see of him, he expresses the beauty he sees in everyone and all styles of music and resonates with it. He’s completely open, like a kid, full of joy and wonder and eagerness to learn. His music reflects his heart and is just a tool for connecting with people’s souls. When he plays for people, it’s not a speech but a conversation.

Those *magical* moments when Jacob turns literally EVERY crowd into a choir.

This man is made out of music.

I really like how the sound engineer normally dealing with huge systems tries its best to get the most out of this little speaker.

The whistle at the end of the phrase starting at 5:08 is so in sync with Jacob's glance!

A being of light. Like we all are. But he is clearly shining.

Jacob Collier: knows how to play every instrument humanly possible Also Jacob Collier: uses his audience as his primary instrument

I'm smiling thru this whole video. Jacob was so fluid and the audience was wholesome. Dang, it makes me tearing up!

WOWOWOWOW he doesn't only play every instrument you can possibly think of, he also plays the audience. Just as well.

As someone who subscribed to Jacob very early on, it’s so awesome seeing him loved by others as much as I always did.

Normally I resent musicians that are better than me (which is most), but Jacob just transcends. Once in a lifetime talent, I'm just grateful he discovered it and is able to shine that light on the rest of us plebes.

Can honestly say, one of the best days of my life. Everyone in the crowd was so engaged and there was such beautiful voices coming from the people surrounding😭 the power in venue came back on after this but I honestly would have been content going home after this

Was there at the gig, they shut the venue and a few people went home. Those who skulked around for a bit was treated to this (and they got the power to work and we all went back inside after). Incredible guy and awesome to be part of the crowd! Like ecstacy for the ears when you're in the midst of so many talented singers with a Jacob at the helm!

I love how many people are not filming and just enjoying the music.

Beautiful human connection right there! Music is the bridge that connects and breaks all barriers

Beautiful how Jacob LEANED on the audience to create and conduct an amazing performance of a classic gospel song. Brought a tear to my eye. Just beautiful and encouraging. God bless you Jacob., and everybody here -- you too Mr. Collishaw -- thanks for sharing.

Jacob Collier IS an Ascended Master who came back to earth out of pure love and joy, just to have more fun with us! Thank you so much for capturing and sharing this! And big hugs to all of you!! (please pass the tissues LOL!!)

Well played to the girls getting those high frequencies at 10:30, chord felt so complete

To anyone who is reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you're constantly stressing about gets better.May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and doubt exit your mind right now. Clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life!In Jesus Precious Name,Amen

That's what humanity it's all about, just love and music, man! Look at all that happy faces, the voices singing together... I can't describe how touched I am watching this video, this is beautiful!

I've never heard of this guy until now...... He just gained a new 50 year old fan with this performance. I hope to one day maybe jam with him if that's cool with him.

Thanks so much for sharing this piece of joy. This man is a proper legend and absolute talent ! 🙂

Jacob collier and anyone who listens to him gives me hope in humanity

What a total legend

can't stop smiling through the whole video, thank you for sharing this!

it was amazing being there and being able to pick up on what he was singing from the crowd, at times it was difficult to hear jacob because of only using two small amps and the noise from the pub next door but the crowd was so good it almost didn't matter. huge huge love to everyone at that gig !

That's a remarkably musical crowd

Wow, this is amazing. What a musician and what a crowd. He has the crowd in his pocket

This is so lovely, how magical it is to have everyone singing together, complete strangers on the street

I was lucky enough to have been there for this, a beautiful summer’s evening in Bristol listening to Jacob sing the Sun is in your eyes. There was a power cut in the theatre so we all went outside. It was just great.

He's really out here dressed as a genie who's magical power allows him to play not just music, but the crowd itself.

he loves it. i love. lets love it thank you so much for sharing, capturing, and posting this moment jacob is a legend. he is a force. we need more of him and what he does in this world.

Managed to get VIP tickets to this show with my buddy Jacob. Bit of eventful evening but would not change it for the world. No words to describe exactly how talented Jacob and his band are. A blessing to have witnessed his greatness live.

Here before this becomes another absolute classic!

What a special moment, so glad you were able to capture it my friend! 🎶

An angel in this world !!! Jacob you have the divine light in you ! NO WAR ! PEACE FOR PEOPLE IN THE WORLD !

Just imagine what a wonderful and peaceful world we would live in if people like Jacob were in charge.

next level showmanship

thank you!

Man, 2024 still give me goosebumps watching this 😳

Jacob creates music like a chef mixing herbs, he knows exactly which note, out of thousands, will flavor the recipe without making it sour. I feel Ike I’m witnessing true genius when I watch him.

Jacob knows you cannot clap your hands and film with your mobile at the same time. Clever.

Love this. What a moment. Thank you for posting.

Is anyone else in love with that Taylor guitar he is playing? That grain is so easy on the eyes.

Amazing presence and composure, despite some glitch that made the performance be in a street or parking lot, despite equipment troubles, and despite distractions from the crew, he had the entire audience transfixed and also enjoying their participation with him in this performance. Wow!

Beautiful

The past couple decades, people have turned music into battles. Whether they sing, play instruments or dance. It's a match with winners and losers... I believe this to be a waste of the power of music, which truly is the food of love, of Life itself. Music could bring people together. Absolutely amazing things can happen when we come together and share a common goal; connection 💚 I wish more of this will start happening again...

I love this with all my vagabond heart.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! BRILLANT!! BEAUTIFUL!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is out of this world!... He doesn't need this, but... WE FUCKIN NEED IT!!! Thanks Jacob

This was incredible! Only real artists would even attempt something like this, but Jacob does it so effortlessly and just has such high charisma, joi de vivre and ease of improv that the audience is just hooked no matter what he does.

Having a good time, and giving a good time as usual!

My God! This is a legend!!!!!

One of the top top musical experiences of my life, so much connection and joy between JC and every one of us in the crowd chorus. And we got the whole incredible indoor set afterwards!!! A stroke of magical fortune.
