a surprising choice of medium

Chris Bliss interprets the Abbey Road suite . . in juggling. It’s awesome. (bigger version, 27MB)

See also the Chris Bliss Diss, in which Jason Garfield does a very similar routine with five balls to Bliss’s three (and some added tricks). Garfield’s friend writes:

Watch the video, and understand: THIS is great juggling. That Bliss guy may put on a good act, but he is not a good juggler. There is a huge difference.

I’m not sensitive to what makes it great juggling, so what I see is that Bliss gives a better show. Garfield’s performance fits the music less well, I think.
