if i'm being completely honest, i think these takes are better than the ones from the concert? but that's the funny thing about music....each performance is different.
The Fearless Flyers are
Nate Smith - drums
Cory Wong - small guitar
Mark Lettieri - medium guitar
Joe Dart - big guitar

Cory never takes for granted how sick Nate is and it shows.
-
0:39 Nate Smith recovers his bass drum like the rest of us mortals
-
As a teenager, I was impressed with neil peart and his monstrous kit. As an adult, I worship nate smith and his 3-piece kit. Groove for days.
-
The synchronized hands sliding @ the 1:47 mark. Chefs kiss Smooth!
-
So glad I found Mark Lettieri through these vids. Between collabs with Cory, watching Snarky Puppy, and just his own stuff, he has quickly become one of my favorite guitar players.
-
My drummer brother isn’t going to be thrilled hearing this but I really love the stripped down kits Nate uses as well as in Scary Pockets. It really brings out the best in drummers when they only have such a tiny kit like this.
-
I always forget how good Joe Dart is, like i began playing because of him but still he surprises me
-
I love how after every performance, even a pre-show green room practice, Cory has the biggest freak outs! I guess it is warranted when they're always playing such great music.
-
So chill, that 'filmed through someone's phone camera' feel, makes me feel a lot better than I cannot afford the fancy recording equipment yet...These guys don't 'need' quality, they ARE quality.
-
I wished I enjoyed anything as much as Corey does jamming out
-
Crazy to think they could just set up on a sidewalk like this and sound THIS good
-
That was trippy when Cory reached down to the floor at 01:20 I hadn’t noticed he had been using a guitar stand.(I was wondering why he looked a little stiff at first)
-
Thank you Cory and team for letting us sit in on this. It feels like a very special moment to be in that place. Seeing four amazingly talented and down-to-earth musicians making the most of now without any hint of doing it for fame and glory but just for kicks... Makes the world a better place.
-
Man this is just levels apart. I want to say Cory sounds amazing. Or the base player is a complete monster. But then you listen to does drums. They are just a force together.
-
The Fender amp there in the back so precariously placed between the sofa arm and table gives me a lot of anxiety right now
-
I love this unedited, simple backstage video style! Thanks for this Cory, you guys sound absolutely insane 👏🏻 can’t wait to see you on tour!!
-
i love how they get progressively more physical throughout flyers direct
-
Nate Smith + Joe Dart = heavenly rhythm section!! So sick y'all!! You're not too bad either Cory and Mark 😝
-
Yesssss!!! Thanks for uploading the pre-show. AMAZING!!! Your sound guys... is just glorious
-
I had the pleasure of meeting Cory at the Newport Jazz festival this past summer, and he's such a friendly, down to earth guy. It was also great seeing the flyers perform later that day! Nate's the most influential drummer on my playing of any of my favorite drummers.
