The way that Kevin G builds that beautiful solo, and the chords he passes through... absolute masterclass

I can hear japaneese inspirations there. And also 90's acid jazz stuff (ala Incognito).

@@mooncorp212 Yes, delicate melodic progressions and also a jazzy groove - amazing.
I maintain this is one of the prettiest guitar parts in any song, feels like it has so much emotion behind it
This song is like a prayer thats just checking in to give thanks.
One of the best performances from Kevin Gastonguay and the Gastonguaynotes ever 🎹! And the guitarist opener was good too.

He used harmony to manipulate tension and release very satisfyingly
Cory in Manchester was being thoroughly upstaged by his band members most of the show. Which was awesome to see, everyone had their time to shine. Then he pulls this out towards the end for his own moment of glory and honestly, that whole show will stick with me forever
Was at this show with a friend and I remember looking at her after KG wrapped up and both of us had our mouths hanging open. One of the best concert moments I’ve ever experienced. I was thrilled to see he posted nearly the whole show (all amazing), and I keep coming back to relive this moment. Still get chills - thanks Cory and Kevin!!
so nice to have a highquality recording of this arrangement without a bunch of fratboy dudebros yelling "DEAN TOWN" over the top. Magical.

no one should have a noise to make other than the band on this one--just a gift.
Man, what a beautiful performance. Gave me the feelies multiple times.
I haven't seen Cory play lead like that much, it sounds great.
don't stop the wong !
The way that organ blends with the guitar reverb 😮💨👌🏼

Every now and again I’ll wake up with the most beautiful melody rolling around in my ears and think excitedly to myself, “what a beautiful song this could be!” And a few minutes into fleshing it out on guitar or bass I realize I just woke up with Meditation stuck in my head. This song is a dream, thank you for sharing it with us all.
The piano at the end - so much colors! Oh my god 🙏 💕 😍

You ARE right - delicate, melodic and with hints of jazzy grooves, achingly beautiful!
Kevin took us on a journey at the end there, and I will never be the same because of it. Thank you to the whole band for constantly reminding me why we all play music in the first place.
KG really is a monster
Kevin getting his time to shine, beautiful stuff.
KEVIN!!!!! YES!!!!!!! That was so beautiful. Cory I loved your solo too 😘 So well played by the entire group. Thanks so much for doing what you do. K I'm just gonna go cry for a little bit now. Love you guys 💛
Man you guys make your live concerts worth every penny!
Every time.... every time I think I can't love Cory and this band any more. And then something else drops, and I am taken on another emotional rollercoastef and have a new favorite... until the next piece drops. Gah. Love this stuff. Everything Cory puts out just hits me right in the soul.
Man Cory, you guys put on such an amazing level of musicianship with everything you release. My uncle died a year and a half ago and I really wish I had discovered you before then to show him your music. He was a musician all his life and would have absolutely loved what you guys do. Keep doing what you guys love, it's clearly working.
Kevin, oh my god! Insane! DEFORMEEEEEEEEEEEEE 🤯🤯🤯
Wow - Cory's spectacular as per usual, but Kevin's solo. Dayam!
This is the song that turned me on to Cory Wong. It's been an enjoyable year and a half since. Excited to see him (again) in a couple weeks in Vegas!!!
this track imo is the GOAT ngl, was amazing to hear live in Manchester, thanks for uploading another live performance of it

Nice reference there ✌! Can understand where that comes from.
When this was played in Dallas last November, it was a spiritual experience. What a journey it took in the few months following! That piano solo…geez!
You can learn a lot about guitar from Cory Wong

agree. He has a unique approach to the instrument. Brushing at the strings and other things he does. He's an innovator like Jeff Beck. This is a very beautiful melody.
I am looping Kevin's solo. It was a full immersion wow, felt like it took us for a long swim through the oceans ... wow!
KG!!!!!!!

He doesnt always shred,but when he does, its massive. Need to catch you dudes live
I’ve listened to A LOT of Wong and I think this is far and away my fav performance
This tour at First Ave was legendary and one of the best musical experiences I’ve ever seen/heard. Thanks Cory and crew!
Man Kevin's solo put a huge smile on my face this morning - incredible!
I fucking love this song, but Kevin comes in to literally prove to everyone that he can mold this song into whatever he dang pleases. I hope everyone at this show appreciated the magic that happened right before there eyes :)
Dang!!! So good... and yeah, love the lead too. Music can save the world...
One of my favorite songs from Cory.
Love Kevin's keyboard work. His melodies build tension, then release beautifully!
Cory is one of my favourite guitar players of the last 5 years, very tasteful and such a great ear for tone.
I can only imagine practice times are the most fun, most enjoyable times ever!!!! Thank you ALL for your enjoyment of music and sharing it with us!
Such beautiful strat tones. Many guitarists play strats but a select few truly allow the stratocaster to shine through in all its amazing sonic uniqueness and beauty. Cory wong is one of this type of Strat wielders for sure.
I sometimes wish the members of this band were immortal to be with us forever and save the world with their music.
Talking 'bout a soundscape, this is it, as if the song says "Gimme your hand..." taking me as a listener on a beautiful, deep trip - as the title so aptly suggests.
That’s how a Start should sound and be played. This guy is out of this world!
This guy has me spoiled on what live sound should feel like. Such an underrated producer/mixer
Dark shredding Cory Wong is incredible
I was tripping my ass off on mdma when this was played in berlin 2 months ago and I still haven't fully returned
Kevin's solo god damn, tremendous
My favourite song of yours!
Love it! You are amazing, Cory! I love the piano part at the end a lot too. So amazing all around!
When the band comes in!! Wow!!!! 1:54
Keep coming back for more. Good lord this is sweet as nectar.
A new era in guitar. Looks like the future is bright after all. Inspirational
Accidentally got on the Wong train, but dude what a trip.
Glad I was there
Kevin’s solo is on another level!
Absolutely beautiful.
I'm loving...you hear me? LOVING these new ambient jam parts in your songs. Takes them so much farther out and deeper. Wonderful.
I love every performance of Meditation but this is my favorite!!!😊
Damn it damn it damn it. Hopefully this is still evolving for winter 23!
What an experience i just had wow
That beautiful solo Kevin...a meditation. Wow.
WOW! Had to play it over and over. This is now my favorite song. Thank you and thank you!
This is worthy of The Prince 💜
8:28 absolute heaven.
Marvelous masters and masterpiece !
Tout simplement extraordinaire !
Getting better 😉
Did anyone else notice some Prince vibes in Corys solo?
Pero qué maravilla es esta? ❤ Gracias Cory por regalarnos esta joya musical. Dios salve a los wongnotes
THAT REVERB. Perfection.
Best take of this song I have ever heard
Yesssssssssssss
almost sounds like allman bros for a minute.great guitar man.i love it.
what a tone...
Cory, you did it man. This performance is one for the ages. A guitar performance that shows so many of your sides, influences, and visions - distilled into a transcendent moment and caught in flight. Thank you. Been a fan for many years - and your continual questing for the next authentic development of your voice, with the courage not to be limited by the “safety” of aspects of that voice already discovered, continued to inspire. In more than musical terms. Thanks again for sharing your gifts.
I remember watching this in London earlier this year, absolutely ethereal! Love your stuff Cory :)
snarky puppy´s spirit.. great!!
Amazing 👏👏👏
Wow, the Meditation along the Gravity. A new collaboration between Cory and John Mayer is coming...
We neeeeeeeed meditation !!!!! A great song !!!!!!!
Man, so cool what you are doing, pursue your path please
I had a dream about this song last night. Such a great build over a pretty simple backing. Cory is phenomenal, but then Kev takes it to a whole other place.
The best ever. See you in Austin.
Sydney-apolis eagerly awaits U & the band!! We gotz Opera House 4 ya!!
This video just goes to prove that a quality Videographer is just as important as any member of the band to help make the show amazing when watched back 🤘❤️🎥🤩
Just some of the most skilled stuff I have ever seen. It's folks like y'all that spark the desire for mastery.
Bellissimo
Such a masterpiece.
Cory❤❤❤🎸 We love you✊🏼🤝🏼
This is so good it hurts.
Cory, you & your band are simply phenomenal
Welp, that's the most epic thing I'm going to see this week
