[Rafylovepr]

[Zneq]

To bad the sound doesnt really show his true potential. Well, anyway really nice to see him do it leave. Playing so smoothly, while standing! Kudos to him - Cheers

[Soint]

its nice that he also looked at the crowd at his back and sides

[JonasOrlas]

he's a true gent :)

[reinaldomizu]

Ebon Coast is one of his best^^

[Callaxes]

It "is" the best.

[chrisbentley68025]

i got the pleasure of meeting andy here in nebraska. I shook his hand and everything it was awesome.

[JonasOrlas]

yeah, it was so cool to meet a legend

[beatlesgirl80]

[JonasOrlas]

At Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. Thanks for watching!

[TomOnGuitar]

[Satch2k8]

[shizueleven]

GO ANDY GOOOO You're so lucky to have met him in person :] I'm still waiting for that special day. ;_;

[Bookster343]

I had the AMAZING pleasure of meeting Andy two days ago here at the Granada Theater here in Dallas, and he was a really nice guy (Although I only got to talk to him for a few minutes. But they were an awesome few minutes!)! We even had the priviledge of hearing him play a new song! All in all, a very memorable time! You won't be disappointed!

[seanellerker]

for those who have just seen this vid for the first time, the 2nd to last tune is ebon coast, one amazing song :) especially when he play's it alongside don ross

[LACHESIS123]

[chansherly212]

grreeeat! i love drifting! he's such a gifted musician

[BenjiBren]

I love the Way Its so quite!

really adds Tu the emotion!

=]

[EastCoast515]

Did Andy sign stuff for you? I'm seeing him saturday and I really want him to sign my guitar!

[JonasOrlas]

He, Craig and Antoine all sold CDs and signed them to whoever wanted them to sign, so I'd think Andy wouldn't have any problem signing your guitar! Enjoy the performance, I'm sure it'll be spectacular :)

[justsayadamnname]

wow, were ppl crying when he was playing for my father and rylynn?

[smh412]

oh nvm

[smh412]

what school was this filmed at?

[RileyBrady]

the question mark song is "Ebon Coast"

[jarooFLtutor]

man I wanna see him live! Such a musical talent

[GaM3rDarriN]

the crowd is in a trance of melody :)

[JonasOrlas]

Exactly :) It was a wonderful night.

[cafeledavid]

yeah hes pretty good, i noticed through out the video alot of people left, they dont look like the type of people who enjoy this music though, but i could be wrong

[JonasOrlas]

The performance was quite long - Craig D'Andrea and Antoine played their own sets before Andy came on. This was also held on a Thursday night, so people had classes the next day. Everyone was very enthusiastic, but as the night wore on people left probably due to classwork, as the performance was (happily) much longer than what people probably thought it'd be.

That didn't stop me, of course - knew I'd see Andy no matter what work time I missed. :)

[BYAH2themax]

im sorry, but pretty good? that's a horrible name for andy. Andy is more a living guitar legend. Andy is amazinggggggggggggggggggggg i wouldnt care if i had an AP test or the SATs the next day i wouldnt miss andy live for the world.

[benjamintodafunk]

Andy is the man-ive known him for years-he was my bass instructor for about a year. Yeah its a shame but in the US hes not that famous-he definately deserves alot of credit though-ive seen him tryin to live his dream for years and finally he got his success, goes to show you that if you never give up eventually things will go your way!!

[BandNevermind]

He uses special magnet pickups (the same type like the LR BAGGS M1 active pickup, Wich is in his baritone guitar)

[seazer]

man i wonder what type of pickups he uses.

sounds freakin amazing.

[omfgbbqlol]

that was awesome, I hope I ever get to see him live :)

[JESUSFAN7777777]

I still don't get how he does this lol Good stuff.

[Gapenting]

damn...lucky people...andy mckee in my country he is not so famous.

[soulguitarist0o0]

Man everyone seems dead, hopefully it's them really enjoying the music and not like "Oh my god, why am I watching this....?"

I'd be just, wide eyed, up front and drooling. I love Andy McKee, I'm going to see if he can play my campus!

[hejjagheterpeter]

think the reason why ppl is standing still and not bouncing around is that they dont want to destroy the mood for everyone else, and if you would be there up beside him drewling i would probably have to kick your ass mate :P

[joeyklerkx]

I've seen him live too. Front row seat. And the reason I wasn't "rocking out" was twofold.

1: It's not the type of music I rock out to

2: I was simply awestruck... This stuff is so extremely more powerfull live.

[mudpick]

I'm almost completely sure that craig d' andrea and antoine dufour are in the video, also sure andy mckee is in the video but anyway... cool! where was this recorded? did antoine and craig played too? who else was therE?

[WholeWideWorld]

Why dont you just read the video description?

[mudpick]

I'm almost completely sure that craig d' andrea and antoine dufour are in the video, also sure andy mckee is in the video but anyway... cool! where was this recorded? did antoine and craig played too? who else was therE?

[mudpick]

[JonasOrlas]

You're right, Craig D'Andrea and Antoine Dufour were both there and both played earlier in the evening. This was recorded in the Underground Cafe at Carnegie Mellon University. If you want to see more recordings of Craig, Antoine, and Andy, check out DandonTRJ's channel. :)

[mudpick]

ok thanks pal, sorry for the other 3 comments, its i kept clickin the post commment button and nothing happened and when they were posted there was 3 comments hehehe. thanks!

[rczarnecki]

When Andy turns left when plays drifting, is that Craig d'Andrea with camcorder?

[Neptunade]

Yeah, I think so.

[JonasOrlas]

In the beginning of the video, that's Craig moving the chair. :)

[JonasOrlas]

Oh, so to answer your question, yes that's him. :)

[rczarnecki]

thx Jonas

[Weirdretardvideos]

Best acoustic guitar player ever Imo

[Chipstastegood]

is that antoine dufour in the back looking the the whole time?

[bibimbab111]

Very Cool! The sound quality with the camera is really good too. I actually have the original version of Africa, (its a pop song, he just does an acoustic rendition of it). Wish I could have been there!

[JonasOrlas]

Yeah, he told us it was a Toto cover. He is a big fan of 80's music - he said while the synths could be 'cheesy' sometimes, he said there was a lot of good songwriting back then. See! I'm so justified in my liking of 80's music. :)

[Tony2001Jem]

The great Andy, love this music

[SheddingSkin34]

the song that you don't know the name of is called Ebon Coast and i believe it's a song made by Don Ross.

[JonasOrlas]

Thanks, yes that sounds right - I'll add it into the description. Thanks again!

[mrjiggyfly]

Ebon Coast is not a Don Ross song, it is Andy's first song he wrote on the baritone. I'm not just being an arse, just correcting you. =)

[KytanoSkorpius]

Seems like a pretty cool guy. Never heard of him before though.

[JonasOrlas]

Ooo you should check out his video "Drifting" on YouTube, or "Africa". He's a really cool guitarist. :)
