I’ve toured the country for over a decade and never seen security do something like that. Which makes sense since it’s Jacob. That really means something. They don’t have the best seats in the house for sound and really are focused. Such an awesome moment.

Not everyone gets to experience being a part of a choir so it's great that they all get to be a part of that, it's magical

I think it has to do with the fact that the audience here really is SINGING harmonically, not just screaming, yelling and shouting as normally at pop or rock music concerts. It really sounds like chords in polyphonic choral singing. Beautiful!

@mikeg3439

A few things come into play on this. I used to have the fortune of being around Chick Corea now and then and he used to do this. I want to say he got the idea of it from Bobby McFerrin, either Bobby did this or had the idea of it. Chick was giving a lecture and it came up "how did you get the idea to turn the audience into a choir" and he said the audience inspired him initially, but summary: Obviously control is a HUGE factor. If you have poor control, you can't do this. You have to be definite, clear. The audience has to like you and want to do what you tell them. With live music, the "like/cooperative" factor is usually the easiest one, after all, they came to see you. Human beings very easily go into agreement with each other, very easily go in tune with each other. They tend to sense "what is next" based on key and mode that is the context. Even if they aren't theory trained, they still SENSE what sounds right. So this is why the majority will go to the right "next note" when you direct them up or down. If the mode is something Aeolian going on, they may not know to call it by a specific description, but they'll know what SOUNDS right next. The few who get it wrong hear the majority and correct to it. This works best if your audience tends to be either musicians or heavily into music. Last but not least: Chick said you want at least fifty people doing it, ideally more, because the majority will be in key. Your ear actually tends to filter out the minority off key and focus on what it "needs" to hear. He said with musicians, even the ones slightly off key will be so close that it actually creates an analog "chorus" effect (ah ha, so that's why they call that effect "chorus...").

"...So Mr. Harris, after removing your own earpiece, you instructed the other guards to remove theirs, yes? And that was the moment Godzilla appeared at the back of the stage..."

Human voices raised in song is truly a beautiful thing.

When everyone at your show is some kinda music nerd if not a musician…

It's also the natural power of a pentatonic scale. This is a festival crowd so it's likely not as similar to his crowd in general. That said, I've been at a smaller show of his - say, 500 people or so - and they were all nerds or musicians, and hearing this same effect where a large number have vocal training is a memory I won't quickly forget.

Forever one of the coolest things I’ve gotten to experience! This is your sign, if you have the opportunity to go to a Jacob Collier concert, DO IT!

He has done this several times, I’d like to know how many. His audiences tend to be musicians and musically inclined so that is a multiplier. A university performance a few years ago with a much smaller audience resulted in an amazing impromptu choral performance. Would have loved to have been there for this one.

I think he does it at every single show for his most recent tour. You’re right that his audience is probably more “musical” than the average but I don’t think you need musicians to pull this off. You just need good communication and instruction, which Jacob has. Most people have a natural understanding of the major scale, even if they don’t know what it’s called.

His recent tour was recorded for each live and the different “choirs” from the concerts are used as backing vocals in some of his videos. “All Night Long” is one where he used a concert choir… But this particular piece here was used in several cities accross North America… I think by the time he arrived in Melbourne, he released a KZread video using the “North American Cities” as backing for a solo he was singing

The power of the human voice

Was just another night at work then he took the time to enjoy magic...AWSOME I am so glad he did life is short!!

Looks like it gave him goosebumps 😃

I love that there was a couple of seconds at the beginning before he saw what jacob was doing and was just watching the audience, could see him thinking "wait.. What?"

Easiest job in the world is being security at a Jacob collier concert

This is so cool!! Thanks for sharing with us. I remember the securities being equally blown away during his show in London last year, it was amazing to witness them just straight up breaking protocol and staring at each other in disbelief. What a time to be alive :)

So glad the security guards realized they could enjoy being in the centre of a choir rather than being a barrier between people. Lovely

- what instrument do you play? - I play the audience

How sweet! Between 1:06, and 1:08. The guy got goosebumps! I love this!

I Love that Security Guy

Young bro was still on duty mode

Goosebumps

He gets it

Gives me chills. Every. Time.

Don't forget that this is also where Metallica, QOTSA, Blink 182, Offspring, and other moshbands are playing. That makes the reaction of this steward all the more wholesome. Signaling the goosebumps on his arm did it for me.

abolustely gorgeous.. he got Jacobed..!!!

I would happily watch the whole concert from this guy’s perspective!!

Wow... the best record with the audience choir I have ever listened. Really makes you cry, it's too beautiful.

What a moment in the history of music 👍

What a beautiful moment 🙌👏❤️

Thank you JC, can't possibly use words here, they mean nothing compared to this.

So talented.

This is a philosophical and spiritual experience! My mind wades in the potential of our temperamental, challenged species.❤

Also this guy just unknowingly stumbled upon the experience every JC fan wants to be part of.

Made me cry even with sound off

So nice to see and hear.

Proves we can communicate to each other subconsciously.

This is what Jacob does with his music. He brings joy and amusement to people's hearts.

I was front row at jacob's concert in Atlanta and the security guy was absolutely in awe there as well. Even if you're not a musician or even musically inclined it's hard to not feel the magic of jacob in his element

The way he looks up at Jacob near the end of the clip like "is this man a wizard or something???" 😂

Wow. This is incredible. Such beautiful voices. Voices together bring back faith in humanity. Thank you for such moments. I owe you. I will think of this moment whenever I feel down because the video brings my spirits up. #Wholesome #ooooooooohaaaaaaaah

security guard forgot to security guard because of how beautiful this moment was ❤

He really played the audience, what thing to have been there. 👏👏

I love that so much!

Jacob is a Heaven's gift ❤

it's like going back to the sea of souls before entering this dimension.

I love how he brushed his arms. He was referring to his chills! Anyone else here feel the chills repeatedly!💞🥰💕🙏🙌🤍🌟🔥

great interaction!!

That really is spectacular

That is crowd engagement and involvement if I have ever heard it.

super wholesome!

Major goose bumps. Whew!

And do you think he’ll ever forget that..

If security is impressed… you’ve ascended

I’m going to see him at the Hollywood bowl in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait!

This was far more impactful for me than seeing just the crowd part.
