Watching now. Excellent.
Exceptional high quality stream.

Indeed, crystal clear in both video and sound. Some songs were played in a weird downtempo, not enough to be alternate version, but "draggy" as if they were tired. When In Rome, particularly. I love Destination, but Sara's voice is getting ragged. But man did she nail Reasons Why. Good show all around but muffled energy.

Soooo good!

[Jeff Budz]

Enjoying this very much. ACL is always so short, the live stream is great! Agree that some of the songs were "draggy" but now they are re-doing some of them. I'm gonna keep watching!

[Dotneck]

I only got there in time for the last two numbers...but I did get to see their show live a couple weeks ago.

Sure liked the little bit I got to see tonight...

Bands"redo" songs on acl?? Wow. Did not know that

[BradKlein]

Yes! A very nice live feed with sharp image in very good sound.

[Paul Busman]

Ha ha! I've been in medicine too long. I saw ACL taping, and my first thought was adhesive tape stabilization of a knee with anterior cruciate ligament damage. Why Nickel Creek was doing it did give me pause...

Man oh man I just love the sound of Seans J45. Does anyone have any idea what kind of pickup he was using? I could see it sitting in the soundhole and it looked like some kind of mics

Man oh man I just love the sound of Seans J45...snip...

Totally agree. That sloped-shouldered Bourgeois he played sounded great too. Very distinct and percussive.

He is a great guitarist.

Did you folks see the close-ups of Thile's Loar? That baby is "well played" to say the least.

Frankly, I think it's refreshing to see such a great instrument in the hands of a gifted working musician and doing what it was meant to do instead of being locked away in some glass case someplace.
