They did a number of more traditional tunes but even then they stretched things out in wonderful & unexpected ways. As much fun to watch as it is to listen to. That's why I was so happy to see this video. When I heard it on the radio I immediately wished I could see it too. I love it when music & performance take me to places I'd never imagined.
I was fortunate enough to catch American Acoustic earlier this year. Critter & Julian's duo pieces were definitely a highlight of the evening. They didn't play "Bone Collector" that night, but they did this piece where they pulled down to this whisper quiet volume, then held it while playing with screaming loud intensity. I'd love to see an evening of just them.
I've watched the video a couple times... I'm not sure why people can't hear a melody or any structure or whatever. No, it's not the most straightforward piece of music anyone ever played. However, as others have stated, it's far from the most out there. For instance, I listen to a band called Sunn 0))) (named for an amplifier). They have two guys playing guitar through a lot of distortion pedals into a lot of amplifiers. Most of the music is droning notes, lots of feedback, and no discernible structure.
