But DAMN the vocal range on Kenton. Yeah I could've listened to 10 more minutes of that fade-out too.

[musa]

Kenton is such a baller, it's insane. I'd kill for his talent and confidence! The band sounds completely insanely amazing, as always. You guys are what dreams are made of. 😻

[arieldeshotel]

I go back and listen periodically and I'm still so astonished by how incredible Kenton is. Forever in awe! So good, everyone! So glad Scary Pockets is a thing?

[americanboathead]

When the drummer is so good, nobody notices that he is also playing trumpet!

[jacobsjaunts]

I must have watched this 50 times already. I come back almost daily. Quite honestly one of the greatest musical performances I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

[pebblesb]

I just discovered Kenton yesterday and wow! He is one of the best singers I've ever heard. His range is out of this world, and his attitude is so infectious. He throws everything he has into each song.

[Tward]

Kenton killed it. Showed off his versatility.

[terencedoyle]

I'm from Liverpool, and very precious about the Beatles. I watched this with reservations, but my god did you guys do a good job of it! You kept the spirit but funked the fab four fabulously. Well done you lot.

[brrrrrg]

When the riff is so good it makes you play the keyboard standing up

[catherineolivier]

Kenton, you're amazing! That range!

okay, all of these guys are amazing. I wish I could see you live!

[Schneu]

This is now officially my fave SP song. Love the bass, the brass, everyone is just ON FIRE, especially Kenton. AMAZING! Hey, why can't I give it extra thumbs.... Darn YT.

INSANE DRUMMING, BARZILAY WAS SURELY POSSESSED BY SOME HEAVY PHUNK SPIRIT ON THIS ONE

[SixstringMatt]

This is just GLORIOUS!!! Kenton Chen's voice in this one, is if you close your eyes, or scroll the video down, he almost, at times, sounds as smooth as a young Micheal Bublee. Which is to say, man gots PIPES!!!

[JAYDUBYAH]

The musicianship and ensemble alchemy is so amazing on all of these.. seems it is the most impactful when the sick funk grooves and in the pocket parts are complimented by soul vocals like two or three of your lead singers have in spades, and honestly those are the videos that bring me to tears as a musician and human being.

[thomasarnt]

NO!!! Don't fade out! I want the 20 minutes version!

[RizoSupernova]

the vocal gymnastics at the end is EPIC

[Pearl]

When the na-na’s started, I was like YAAAASSSS!!! GET IT! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[spencergellsworth]

...you really didn't have to fade. I could've taken 10 more minutes of that,

[bridgetchang]

Wow. Kenton's runs and vocal range is EVERYTHING.

[MrTahutahu]

This the 100th time I've listened to this. Still in awe. So funky so fresh yet so dirty. My favorite cover of my favorite band . The singer is the embodiment of soul how he fits all that funk in such a small body
