Easily one of the best bands in the world. I’m not sure I’ve heard a horn section better than this since TOP.

[ChckenKatsu]

The amount of content Cory gives out for free is pretty insane

[thawnage]

Love the amount of guitars and basses that Cory took with him on tour - For decoration 😄

[teresapinnola]

Hands down the best band out there right now. Thanks Cory for all the live concerts in my living room!

Figured I would watch a little of this while eating breakfast on my day off. I ended up watching the whole thing! The musicianship, the mix, and the energy are STELLAR! Never thought that a 1 camera concert shoot could be so engaging 😮

[michaelk]

Cory, you and the whole band are a national treasure. Thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives!

WHAT A BAND !!!!
« Bennie and the jets »…just the best cover I’ve ever heard!!
The Hornz are just amazing…
Sonny is just one of the greatest bass player of all time…Prince knew it.
And what a drummer…INCREDIBLE.
So Happy to be at the OLYMPIA in Paris, France in october 2023 🙏🏼🇫🇷
Thanx CORRY to give us So much joy and happiness 🙏🏼

My body was not ready for the 17:54 bari solo straight into Sonny's bass solo. Simply too funky!

Bought a ticket to this show at the last minute and it was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, so many sweet jams, Cory Wong is a BAMF

[beardown]

The amount of talent on this state is staggering. I could have never imagined how brilliant Cory’s career could have went over the past 3 years. He is on a an absolute tear, and probably the most prolific creator of the culf family at this point, maybe with exception to Jack

[emmafitzmaurice]

You got to be you with the horns is amazing

[lenablack]

Can’t wait to see more of Jake, love his style

[leo]

The arrangements are stellar. They give Tower of Power a run for the money. Come back to Pittsburgh.

[scottoharamusic]

Loving that 'Light as Anything' is getting a good run out these days - awesome tune

[margerywelch]

I was at this concert, and it was mind-blowing! Top notch musicians all around, and an amazing sound! Love you Cory!!

[Jusangen]

I haven’t prayed in a while, but I pray there’s more of this guy’s videos on YouTube!

[Boozin]

THat is the MOst Fantastic and Unusual concert of funk music I ever seen in my whole damn
