This is his zone. The most amount of options and supporting cast at his disposal.

Jacob is the best therapy against sadness, depression and negativity... ...it can be so simple without any kind of drugs....😄

What the?!? I'm a long time Jacob listener, but I wasn't expecting that at all. Such variety and mixing of genres and styles. Great to see Take 6 up on stage with Jacob, one of his stylistic and sonic inspirations. Jacob's music transcends jazz or any one style, it's hard to put into words, best not try! Very enjoyable, can listen for hours...

The chord at 9:04 is the best thing in my life right now. (Don't start at 9:04; start at 8:48 and let your brain acclimate first.)

I cannot explain to you how much I love Jacob Collier

13:35 When one singer from the choir was too early and Jacob immediately reacts to it omfg the level of perfection o___O

[Mrstringer]

I love him so much it's unreal, Jacob Collier is truly one of the modern day greats in terms of composing and arrangement. My mind has been expanded multiple times by his interviews and his pieces

[Pillepup]

inspiring, magic, awesome, epic, wonderful, confusing, satisfying, happy, sad, dark, bright. pure harmony. this dude is amazing, the world has never seen an artist that comes close to what jacob is doing.

[pianorikardhallberg]

This is the perfect blend of harmony, melody, rhythm and jacob

[robertodagostini]

he is going to be the most lifechanging musician to ever grace the earth. Literally. I remembered when he said classical music was people just watching the music. he conducts the audience and it almost brought me to tears. He is a human, but by human standards he is the embodiment of music. And he uses his gifts for the greater good. The world can be changed by music and it might not change right now but, he is going to be talked about forever. In the best way possible. seriously, I never imagined myself almost coming to tears seeing him conduct the audience like that. I never look at him and wish I could be him, instead I see him as someone who is the most talented person in music we have ever seen who is using his talents to the fullest. And it makes me want to see what is my own fullest potential. Truly humbling even knowing his story and the stories he tells in his music. Wow. fucking blyme. I fucking love humans man. if the human brain is the biggest weapon of all. Then that makes ourselves our own worst enemy. strive for the greater good. like jacob.

The transition at 9:20 makes my heart melt - what a fantastic concert. <3

[jordanjazz]

Increadible... I was at this concert and it was nothing short of unforgettable. I remember when it finished, I felt genuinely upset. I didn't want it to end. I could've sat there all night.

[andreaaraceli]

When music across a human body and a human soul!!! Meraviglioso
