Billy Strings returns to the Owensboro Bluegrass festival, ROMP, for another amazing set. Playing some hits and callbacks to some older bluegrass classics we hope you enjoy this energetic performance on this hot day.
Billy is good, but I don't understand this big push he is getting right now. I've definitely heard better singers and pickers but for some reason they don't get the attention. Must be his silly glasses.
im 65 yrs old from vancouver bc canada... in the first minute of this YT vid... i sobbed with joy to see youse young fellas play the REAL MUSIC... i was holy rollin in my emotion... ive recovered now...whew...thank ye boys!
I’m about the same age from California Mountains and this ole gal is just so happy to see and hear these most incredible musicians , thanks guys :) I found The Dead South a while ago and they are fab as well .
anyone else just become bluegrass fans in the last 3 hours? lmao. Not only that, no matter what kind of music you prefer - you can still appreciate how fucking talented each and every one of these band members are. Reaching master status at your craft before 50 is a feat in its own lol. Anyway, just want to express my gratitude for the amount of talent i keep witnessing.
As always Billy and the band are amazing but can we just appreciate for one moment how great of a job the sound guy did! Most of these outdoor festivals sound like they were recorded on a flip phone lol.
I love that he frequently plays Grateful Dead tunes and he's taking a page out of their book which is genius, he rotates his songs and doesn't play the same setlists twice. This makes his fans want to collect individual shows just like Deadheads do...and Jerry Garcia would've LOVED him! but who wouldn't ...unless you don't like balls to the wall mega talent, and this whole band is a top notch Bluegrass unit...
I'm a deadhead with over 200 dead shows and I couldn't agree more. Going to my first Billy strings show next month at the capital theater, how appropriate.
Of course Jerry (briefly) headed one of the best bluegrass bands ever Old and In The Way, featuring Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements and David Grisman. Check out their clips here on youtube. It was just a hobby band but given the talent involved it had to be awesome.
@@jeffgaumond4250 I started see the Grateful Dead and Jerry Band in the 90s so I know Old & In The Way well, got the live album in the 90s. A different bluegrass band w' Jerry The Hart Valley Drifters came out with an album a few yrs ago, it's great too. Everything Jerry was involved with was amazing...
I agree. I am blewn away. I am a musician myself but have not had inspiration for years due to how much the music industry sucks. I am starting to get inspired again. Billy Strings is more than bluegrass. Bluegrass isn't even the music i usually enjoy listening to. What is happening. He is something else than everything out there. I wish i fiund his music earlier but i am glad i found it today.
@@saymyname5933 Exactly! About 1/2 way through when he did that sick fusion including all those minor chords I was blown away. I haven't heard anything so exciting in 30 years!
@UnholyUndies Billy was the guitarist for a metal band when he was in high school. He's also mentioned Sabbath, Hendrix and several other rockers as influences. P[>

I don’t know how many times I watch this. I absolutely love this show. The whole playing is cool and Billy has strong yet beautiful voice. It’s sad I’m not living in US
I love him so much, I love how all 4 members are so different, the bass ayer looking like he is dirty dancing with his bass is one of my fave , banjo Billy is seriously the shit tho!
I just want to let you know that a year later you just had some mom cackle hard in the kitchen reading your comment. It’s so true. Just went and saw Billy Strings last week with my 69 year old dad and we were on the side with him and that’s exactly what it looked like.
I know! Right? I hit like then dislike on your comment, just for grins but it wouldn'tve even SHOWN let alone tell ya who thunk they was so funny so I changed it back to a like that'd at least show up. ;)
Absolutely nailed Midnight Rider. Wow! On my drive home from the office, I was so inspired listening to this that I cut my $50 Dockers pants off into shorts...lol. Great performance.
Ya Think??Bingeing on him and he does nothing twice, that was first I heard such a growl in nailing Ole Midnight Rider. Other concert ,you can imitate "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones but not change it to make it your own. So I thought as Billy started it....guess no one ever told Billy that, he friggin stole it.
Everything about these guys is nothing short of legendary. You guys are the next best thing since the Grateful Dead. Each song was performed flawlessly. Timing is perfect. And each member threw down some serious turnarounds. Face melting bluegrass. The legend quartet.
I love the dead. No one will ever come before them. But 9/10 nights they couldn’t dream of playing this clean. For as amazing as the dead are, can’t say they were flawless. Billy’s as close as it gets.
I do see a lot of comments in this thread referring to how much this band sounds like the Grateful Dead… I totally hear that, there’s some really great epic band moments in this set. I am also reminded a lot of the way Frank Zappa ran his bands; super tight, extraordinarily talented and some unreal communication on stage. Musicianship at another level.
Been watching a lot of Strings' performances lately, and I think ROMP 2018 is probably my favorite show I've seen on TH-cam. Maybe if I saw him live, I'd have a different opinion. But I love this one specifically
I'm 68 and I grew up listening & singing along with & dancing to the great bands and musicians of the 50's, 60's, and 70's; and especially to the great jamming sessions ( psychedelic if you want to call it that...and that's okay by me ! ) , but what I just heard from Billy Strings and the other musicians here is every bit as good and probably even better in some ways, to those fantastic jamming sessions from those earlier years !! It was incredible..WOW..WOW..!!!
Hats off to the production people. These guys played their butts off in sweltering heat. Sound quality and camera work was great for a live outdoor performance. Thank you for this gem of a video.
this isnt meant as a joke im being serious, but i feel so much for those without hearing who will never get to hear such an alive and toe tapping head bobbing sound, im british so this sort of music isnt my blood but i cant help but love it, and people like this are doing a great job of keeping it fresh and alive
Grateful Dead started as a Country/Blue Grass type band. I like the adventurous road these lads are heading down. It ain’t Bill Monroe, but I love the legit Blue Grass chops, and I love the dynamics they are putting in, up there. Respect
people you're watching the making of a legend....the man and the band....in my 50+ years around music Ive never witnessed this type diversity, this type ability, this kinda passion......call it BS if you want.....l'll call it Billy Strings.
I used to make fun of bluegrass too but now when I hear to top 40 pop or similar modern music I can't help but think about how wrong I was. It's still not necessarily my cup of tea but I know when I hear good musicians playing music and this is so much better than the vast majority of mainstream artists today.
Good. Some of us grew up around it as a family tradition. People like you and this other comment made people like me suicidal at some times. Especially when it's almost every person you meet. It adds together with other things that dissolves your self esteem over time. Now that you were humbled, don't do it again. Just realize that Billy is a symbol of our type of tradition being brought back to life by one that stayed with what he knew and said fuck everybody else.
It’s pretty cool to be in my time with a musical unicorn in his prime. Being my ages I always feel like I missed out on all the greats a lot of the time.
Growing up in the nineties was great. However, when looking back at the 70's music scene I always felt that I missed out on the best that ever was. Billy, bluegrass, jam and the new revival of amazing music has been awesome. We lucky.🤘
There are people on the earth now that have never seen people dance sing together free and happy. - boy I miss the energy of being one with strangers becoming friends sharing an experience.
I tried to subscribe , but , got a message that says I have too many subscriptions !!!! I listen to this great Billy Strings video every morning !!!! IT'S my wake up and take on the WORLD music !!!! Bluegrass gets my motor running !!!! Makes me feel like brewing up some "compost" tea!!!! Get busy "living" , or get busy "dying" !!!! A day without COUNTRY, is like a day without SUNSHINE !!!!
I’ve had the lick from 47:30, particularly the bass line, stick in my head all day and I finally remembered it was from this set. So glad I found it! Ear worms are fun 😄
Unbelievable......I have no choice now....I'm a bluegrass fan....for those of you who don't play guitar...this kid picks ever note....remember his name cause you will see he in all the Hall of Fame ...................Billy Strings
I don't really care for country but these guys blow me away and I don't understand how Billy and his Band aren't talked about at the water coolers every day. Move over everyone, these guys are numero uno.
Billy has brought me back to string music. Honestly he's brought me back to music all together. Looking forward to him becoming a LEGEND that generations will speak about. I know this with 100% certainty as his sound and pure talent blow other LEGENDS out of the water.
filmed w musicians in mind and cameras are actually showing ea persons licks and great sound...billy is so innovative like the greats before him ...i love bluegrass outside the box...and in the grateful deads influence is obvious
Attitude and expertise always a winning combination. Takes me back to my 60’s days when the music was exciting. I hope to get the cd I ordered last week on Tuesday. I’ve been busy telling everyone I know how good these guys are. They came up as I was testing my playlist for my current project Celtic Tiger - my autobiography in music. Be well, take care & keep on rocking.
To hear Billy Strings play with Dave Matthews, Tim Reynolds, and the spirit of John Denver would be amazing. I can imagine what it would be like in my head. Phukinfantastic!!!!
I watched a Michael Palmisano vid appreciating Billy and he explained how you need to understand how everyone shares distributed percussion in bluegrass. It raised my enjoyment of this wonderful genre. Definitely a banjo tabla in there! Love the communications. All four just top notch. Great sound and filming too. Thankyou. Been wearing out the Austin vid. This will take over. I keep playing their Loser and Wharf Rat vids too. Can't listen much to anyone else at the moment. Legend in the making.
As amazing as Billy is, he's in damn good company - each band member is an absolute monster on their axe. A truly amazing unit!
for sure... I wouldn't expect anything less though. In a way, Billy needs them as much, if not more, than they need him.
i agree, i'm blown away by all of them especially Mando Guy
Couldn't have said it any better.
Necrotic Prolapse Jarrod Walker is the name
Billy is good, but I don't understand this big push he is getting right now. I've definitely heard better singers and pickers but for some reason they don't get the attention. Must be his silly glasses.
Who would have ever thought it? Psychedelic bluegrass? It’s perfect for us 50-year-olds!

Whoever the producer/sound guy is of this is a fucking legend

Yes! 🙏❤️

Weird you say that. I'd rather listen to this than the album versions... Well produced raw sounds.

Astonishing. In my 79 years I have never...
I'm obsessed with Billy Strings. I just found out about him like 5 days ago. This is probably my 40th video I've watched. Can't get enough.
I reacted the same way! Do you know where he's from?
me too!
@@mandytull Well, he's from Michigan. Not sure where he's based out of.
@@STaSHZILLA420 Muir. Apparently.

It's like the stories about Hendrix to me Billy Strings is the cream of the crop
I love that he frequently plays Grateful Dead tunes and he's taking a page out of their book which is genius, he rotates his songs and doesn't play the same setlists twice. This makes his fans want to collect individual shows just like Deadheads do...and Jerry Garcia would've LOVED him! but who wouldn't ...unless you don't like balls to the wall mega talent, and this whole band is a top notch Bluegrass unit...
And there's many versions of the same song!

I don’t know how many times I watch this. I absolutely love this show. The whole playing is cool and Billy has strong yet beautiful voice. It’s sad I’m not living in US
This is what pure , raw musical talent looks and sounds like folks! All 4 of these guys are brilliant musicians! Doesn't get any better!
I concur with your conclusion!
They play so well off of each other, too. Makes me almost think they're controlled by the same brain somehow
This is why bluegrass will not die .young people like this. Awesome.
I love how his banjo player always looks like hes making a grocery list in his head while hes playing lol
Billy Failing's facial expressions while playing are great, he always looks so preoccupied.
I could never put my finger on what that look was all about but now I think you're right that is funny as hell
These comments are priceless! Love these guys!!!!!!

Who else could sit and watch this all day :) Absolutely amazing !
What amazes me is his repertoire seems endless. I've been checking out his solo videos on TH-cam. He just amazes me .
Has anyone mentioned how hilarious those sunglasses are that Billy is wearing! Awesomeness at its peak!
I will never forgive myself for missing this. I live less than 15 miles from the site of ROMP
Absolutely nailed Midnight Rider. Wow! On my drive home from the office, I was so inspired listening to this that I cut my $50 Dockers pants off into shorts...lol. Great performance.

It’s easy to do, but this concert is my fave…
I been listening for a fat minute and it took me this freaking long to realize there is no drummer holy fuck
I was there that day and my mind is still blown
Whoa, didn't expect to hear Midnight Rider. Gregg Allman's smiling down on these boys.
This aint' Grandpa's bluegrass. Love it!
You can hundred percent tell these boys spent hours listening to The Allman Brothers. I mean who hasn't.
Watch his performance with the Allman-Betts Band!
Always that one girl at a festival practicing falconry on the lawn. What better place than here, what better time than now?
I'm just gonna watch this again.
The Midnight Rider in Billy's take shines twice. Thanks ABB for composing such an amazing bluegrass song!
