He's not drunk. He always plays like that.

[qbertplaya]

Actually, he was drinking Jameson's by the glassful as it was a sponsored event.

All who criticize Chris Thile are absolutely insane. He is undeniably amazing. I love watching him live and yes he does always play this way:)

Why I want to get a mandolin.

[emptybluespace]

@DarknessHowls Chris Thile really is the reason I have a mandolin.

[bigsquaw]

Well Jameson's does him right. He is incredible!!!!!!!!

Chris puts on a great show, and this a great cover from him, as well as the Punch Brothers. The beginning where he stops and waves his finger like "I'll give you a reason to cheer," is funny, and represents how funny either entity is on stage. They all have great chacter and skill and whit. And a great leader.
