Damn, yes. The best since the Beatles, since the Stones. Even better in a way! The lead singer is better ;-)

Literally just discovered them thanks to Rick Glassman and the TYSO podcast. They're amazing
When you see a crowd of all ages grooving, is because there is some serious music event going right there 👀 Such talented group of human beings....don't key the sh!t change you!

FWIW it was a free noon summer concert in downtown Ann Arbor, mostly townies in attendance. Probably most of the crowd had never heard of this group. But, yes, they were diggin' it. They returned in 2023 when I saw them.
To see this audience of mainly young people going crazy over soul and funk music, sax solos, and clavichord does this musician's soul good.

as a youngin (alright i just turned 30) i'm glad you have love for us. the music trancends
How dare you American citizens get this level of damn good music in some random park??? So good even through the screen
My wife and I were out late one night and walked by the Showbox Sodo in Seattle. The bouncer let us in randomly since the show was almost over anyway. We had no idea what we were walking into. This girl can sing like CRAZY!! We were blown away. Their recorded music doesn't capture how much of a groove they have live.
Can you imagine not being already familiar with this powerhouse group and walking up on this?!?! I'd be all like, "Siri, cancel all my appointments this afternoon!"

Gracie has an objectionally incredible voice, it can give me chills. BUT, Clyde sounds like what Joe Cocker would if he hadn't smoked 3 packs a day since he was 3-weeks old; and I love it.

I think we got to witness a Lawrence fan be created. The woman in the pink shirt, first 10 seconds is still, then about 10 seconds in starts dancing a bit, and hten just over the course of the show it looks like she's getting really into it!
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BAND
They are great and I love bands with a horn section.

Have to agree. HORNS are the special sauce. 🤌💯
Of all the well produced LIVE videos of Lawrence out there, this vid is the one I always send to people when they ask who Lawrence is. It’s like a sampler and shows how incredible of a band they are to play this well in a random park in the middle of the day. And to see all these people totally vibing to Lawrence!! Thanks for posting!!!
Live soul music in public.... with a horn section. What a treat.
This old guy loves seeing this happening. They have some serious soul.
The only group that has excited me in years. Skilled musicians who love what they're doing and play with passion!

I would pay to see these guys live! They are fantastic. Gracie’s vocal range is incredible and Clive reminds me of Randy Newman and Joe Cocker melded into one.

Um, this is incredible. There was a time when I didn't think the younger generations would carry on the music properly, those fears have now been obliterated. Thank you.
Gracie is a vibe! Amazing voice and her facial expressions are so funny 😂😠😆🙂↔️
One of the best bands out here doing it for sure!
Clyde Lawrence stole the show for me. That dude can sing, and play!
That transition outta “hey Arnold”, holy shit
Lawrence's music is awesome , but seeing them live is a real treat
Thank you for sharing this
This amazing, thank you for sharing!
Wow. Just perfect ❤
Damn she's a powerhouse on that mix, this band is funky as F ❤️🤘👍
Ok wow- how did this power house live band show up randomly in my feed ? I love it 😜
Never heard or seen these guys before. But wow. So freakin good. I might be addicted for a while. Hope more pops up on my feed
Thank you for capturing this beautiful moment 🙏
Wow . Seriously impressive. This band is outstanding and that singer kills it.
AUGHH I LOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH
awesome seeing how much fun they're having
Love this band so much! So happy for them opening up for JONAS Bros this fall!!! They might just steal the show 😊
Bless you guys for DOING THE THING! LOVE IT ALL! Thanks for capturing and posting this for those who couldn't be there - keeping an eye out for them be playing in AZ!
Fantastic live performers
These were the songs my band was playing in the 70s! Glad to see it coming back.
There’s hope for the future! Get the funk outta my face……and bring to my yard!
Just f... ing amazing and absolutely wonderfully beautiful!!!
Seeing them live in Portland Oregon summer tour 2022 was amazing. Everyone single member is a top notch musician!
This show was incredible!!!!!!
Lawrence is one of my favorites and I'm so glad I got to see them live! Definitely worth it, they put on an amazing show!
Good to see everyone getting into the act and enjoying it too!
god i love this band. and v doap of you to put this sizzle reel togeths, THANK YOU!
How could you not love them. Perfection!
What a band!!!
This is amazing.
i love the energy
I don’t think people appreciate how difficult it is to sound this good outdoors - vocals & instrumentation. Open spaces not built for live music, crazy echoes, the elements messing with tunings and all sorts of other complications. Speaks to the talent of the band and their sound engineer(s).
@MBVid1
Жыл бұрын
for a sound engineer, the open field is the best possible spot. In an open field there is no slapback echo, and no room modes to mess with the sound. A large outdoor festival with a tuned PA is the easiest to make sound good. Rooms have echo, mess with tonal balance, and have architectural features that block sound.

What a great video. This band is exciting, thanks for the intro. Will be watching out for Lawrence!!
Amazing! Saw them in DC this year but I WISH I could go to an outdoor show like this...
Wow! they are jamming & the crowd is right there with them. An amazing performance.
there it is again...... I saw this video some time ago, didn't think anything but this band got me hooked in no time, now I'm addicted to this goofy troup... thanks....
That band is all sorts of amazeballs!!
Just recently discovered Lawrence. Love them!!!
LOVE!!!
The band hits hard in all the right places.
It looks like the band is having a blast! With that much talent, why shouldn't they?
Love Lawrence! Saw them in San Francisco a few months ago. Incredible band.
I am deeply in love with Lawrence. All the Lawrences. And their band-members :D Thanks for sharing this. It rules.
So apparently all these guys are awesome! They are all multi faceted!! 😍

Awesome video. I've been getting into this group for only a short while. Just ridiculous. I follow Maggie Rose and LSD. Right up my alley. Thanks!
There are bands who are in the pocket all the time. And then there’s Lawrence who is so deep in the pocket they’ve gone to another dimension through a black hole.
I need a time machine go to this concert asap.

literally insanely good.
Just discovered them a month ago. That guy has one of the best voices I ever heard. Not sure if he will not end up pursuing a solo career sometime in his life. He has that star.
Gracie is wonderful. Kudos. That’s funk for all. Kudos to Marc and Linda.
Killed it.
Feels so Sly & Family Stone at their peak! So slinky soul baked goodness!
My favourite part is the grandma at stage right, looking on and going "holy hell, these kids are amazing".
Band is wonderful but Gracie is out of this world. Wow.
This reminds me of the time I saw Joan Osborne (before her first album had even come out) and the Spin Doctors at a street fair in downtown Rochester, NY, in the early 90s. Such a fantastic vibe.
How Gracie Lawrence is not an international superstar is beyond me.. the entire band absolutely rocks it..
Her voice is incredible….
Gracie is silly good!
Glad people are FINALLY starting to catch up on this band! Been following them since their early days in 2016! Saw them with 150 people in Minneapolis and saw them again this spring with 1,500 people! Y’all were lucky to experience such an intimate show with an amazing band!! Can’t with to seen them again!! Love me some Lawrence!!
