I have been on TH-cam since day one; this is the first time I’ve ever commented. Billy Strings, your talent is beyond compare; your humility is genuine and your passion is for all of us to enjoy. Excellent job pulling together a band of pure moonshine.
Whut? 😂
@@stringburner57 He means he’s been on the internet since Al Gore invented it.
HORSE SHIT!!!
I've been listening to bluegrass from the 70's Heard all the greats
Alison Krauss and Union Station stand out, but Billy Strings is something else Lord thank you!!!
Well put. I met Billy& his Dad @ winfield and it is true thee most genuine loveable down to earth gentlemen. ❤❤❤i got nothing but live for Billy Strings& crew family friends forever!❤❤❤❤
I used to HAAAAAATE any music even remotely close to country. Now, thanks to music and performances like this, I LOVE country. I only had to listen to the first two minutes of this show to instantly become a fan of Billy Strings.
I love this combination of psychedelic and blue grass. It's something new. Country music isn't country anymore, it's commercial soulless crap but you are reviving the soul of real country music.
Look up Daniel Donato. Not exactly the same but this with a telecaster
Greensky Bluegrass showed him the way and he ran with it.
There are loads of bands/artists that have been doing this style for years. Billy is just doing it better than any of them!
also Sturgill Simpson
Yup. And to this day Billy says GSBG is his favorite band in the world
A once in a generation talent reaching way back and way forward at the same time. Garcia, Hendrix, Miles, Watson …all looking down smiling
Yes!!!
We are witnessing something once in a lifetime here folks. IDK if these guys are the next Beatles or not, but they are on their way to changing the game.
This band is bringing back psychedelic, bluegrass, jam rock, and even a tinge of metal with these insane breakdowns they do.
Funk too!
Couldn’t agree more
Allright...i think enough people know about it.. shhh...
Billy... Brother Every Single Time I Hear Your Music It Takes Me Back To The Late 80's Early 90's When I Was A 10 Year Old Boy And My Grandpa Would Come Pick Me Up On Saturday and Sunday Mornings Here In Beautiful South Kentucky and Drive Around Feeding and Doing Other Morning Farm Work Listening to BLUEGRASS MUSIC And After The Farm Work, He Would Take Me to the Little Country Store and Get Me A Little Snack Cake and An Orange Juice, Then We Would Sit Out Front of the Store and Listen to the Other Old Men Talk and Tell Stories. It's Some of My Greatest Memories because My Grandpa Passed Away When I Was 12 and Through Your Music, You Help Take Me Back To Relive Those Times That I Got To Spend With Him! And For You and Your Music, I Thank You Sir!!!
Why do you capitalize each word? I've seen others do this and can't figure out why. Just curious.
@@noonefan Because I Can. Besides It Doesn't Matter In This New Fucked Up World We're Now In Where People Abbreviate Everything and Just Makeup New Words Everyday. I Don't Reckon I Have To Have A Reason?
@@jasoneastham2546i think hes wondering if its intentional or not. Seems like a waste of time to capitalize every word lol
@@jasoneastham2546 hell ya brother
I miss chorin’ with my gramps on the weekends. We’d feed the horses and shovel out the turds. But he always took me to a little diner in my hometown where him and half a dozen old timers would sit and solve the world’s problems. Or he’d harness a couple ponies and take a drive and we’d both be singing “oh my darlin clementine” at the top of our lungs. He had me fooled that the louder I’d sing, the faster the ponies would trot. Of course he was just tapping the reigns below my eyes. That farm and his way of life are all but gone now. My kids are growing up in the suburbs. Kinda pity them in a way.
Billy may be the most important guitarist to come along in the 21st Century. He's dragging the Bluegrass genre kicking and screaming into the modern age.
And we have Molly Tuttle doing it back real basic, and then Sierra Ferrell doing country real, reimagining country like it was, and can be.
"That song doesn't usually last 40 minutes, but we got into a serious thing. Then I forgot how it ended."
The devil just bowed his head cause he knows he's been beat.
Will it be a golden guitar he lays at Billy's feet?
🤣🤣
Billy Strings won the game of music 🏆
Smiling ear to ear...very rare...listening to Billy...sipping a beer...smoked a little bud...feeling content as i get ready to sell in my warehouse of used goods i procured from the rich neighborhoods that surround me...Been loving and listening to Billy through alot..looking forward to what the future will bring...shout out to Bella...and a big thank you to Billy and the Band(including those in the background ) I loved Billy first but i truly love you all!!! 😍
Some of the BEST music in the world! Every member is mega-talented on their instrument and Billy could deserve no less. Mainstream music should have never overlooked them as the perfect sound in modern Bluegrass!
5 stringed instruments melting faces with a passionate, professional and dedicated individuals at the helm. This is what music is supposed to be.
I have seen Billy ten times this year. The last two in the UK and he NEVER fails to deliver the goods. Just a generational talent. We are all lucky to be around to witness this as it happens and as Billy's star continues to rise and shine brightly.
agreed❤
@@alro11Awesome!! I finally saw Billy live in Michigan for the first time this year. I subscribed to Nugs so I watch his streams. But there was nothing like his live show! The atmosphere was fantastic; Billy and the band were phenomenal (as expected) and the other fans were so friendly! I met some great friends, traded Billy stickers with some fans, was able to listen to my fave Away From The Mire at the rail and got some great merch. Can't wait til my next show!!
Damn, I saw him twice this year and thought I was doing good 😂 The thing about a Billy show is that you'll never see the same show twice!
Not just! This man is the REAL DEAL FULL PKG. TALENT PASSION INNOVATIVE STYLISH GROUNDED. ALL OF IT!❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@mstuckey311 One of the best things about his shows. Always different and always tight.
Gonna be honest this is 1st music I have heard in many years that just blows my mind
Keep tuning in brother let the power of the music heal your life!
A friend told me I had to go to his show about 18 months ago. Been hooked since, just left the 3 day Asheville tour. These guys are the best entertainers in the world and it’s not close IMO
You should check out the Jam Rock scene if you like this type of bluegrass music, it's very similar. Check out a video called "Pigeons Playing Ping Pong - Lightning (live at the Peach Fest).
No, some of the new hip hop I wish I haven't heard blows my mind, like the stuff that's 50% cussing, 40% bass, 6% lyrics, 4% tune, 0% creativity, and 0% talent. Whats mind blowing is that it gets listened to
Billy strings.
The world needs you, your amazing.
Stay safe and stay alive please.
actually got chills and tears in my eyes watching this.
Holy cow that just blew my mind! Billy!
The stamina it takes to play that long is exceptional and on par with any great athlete! Congratulations BMFS!
Billy and the boys are about to blow up even more over this release… studio albums don’t even compare to the music live. BMFS BABY!!!!
100% percent agree. There are only a couple that are better live than in studio and billy is DEFINITELY one of them!
@@spongeorpete7289 And it's not like their studio albums are bad!
@@spongeorpete7289 any jam band live is better than any studio recording possible, a big part of this type of jam rock is the soundscape and journey you experience in real life through the light show and sound mixing.
I'd actually argue most shows, regardless of genre, are better live, except for rap music. I've seen plenty of rappers live and have been greatly underwhelmed every single time, those are all just them playing the beat and only rapping half the words
Hello from France.
I love your music.
Thank you very much
Been to several of his shows, yall. They have the communal feeling like it was a grateful dead concert or maybe a mini woodstock... yeah thats it, a mini woodstock. And this guy Billy Strings is really something to see and hear. This is a guy that is a guitar player on the order of Jimi Hendrix. He is the Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar! And he has the longevity of the Grateful Dead. History in the making. What are you going to tell YOUR kids when they ask you what you were doing back when Billy Strings was "pluckin a banjah"?
Billys own band is blowing his mind. Lol. He literally look up and says " what the fuck" in amazement as Alex and Jared just toss the flow to and fro. These kids are incredible.
😂 Yes! Right at the 22:00 mark! The whole band is so freeking tight!
Mind blowing and mesmerizing at the same time!
I caught that wtf as well, I wish we could have been there, man.✌️
I was there that night and let me be the first to say that he wasn't the only one saying "wtf" myself included. I still say that when I look back at that night. I hadn't ever experienced anything like it as far as music goes and I've seen them all(I'm an old head) these guys are legitimately the tightest band I've ever seen and they continuously out do themselves each time they play. The best BMFS show is the NEXT BMFS show. And he's doing it, selling out well in advance every venue and arena they perform in and with traditional stringed instruments. You could get all the great bluegrass pioneers and contemporary greats still alive all together on one bill under one roof and they still wouldn't be able to sell out one single night in some of the places Billy plays. I know now what the term "melting your face off" means...
@jamesb5669 I, being an old head myself, would agree. With the exception of Ravi Shankar, Billy is the greatest I've seen at controlling the energy of the room. He's a gift to be sure.
@franklee6301 thank God for Billy Strings. The man single handedly restored my hope in music of today. Have never and probably will never see anything like this again and I'm just so happy I get to hopefully grow old with these guys making great, nah fuck that, MINDBLOWING music into my elder years. BMFS!!!
I am a fellow musician. I play 7 instruments, none of them professionally, just to compose... At the suggestion of a close friend, I wached and listened to about half of this video while I was on break at work. THERE IS NO WORD OR DESCRIPTION FOR WHAT IAM EXPERIENCING! MAYBE... KABOOOOMMMMM!!!
This is the first time I've ever heard such rhythm and tempo in this style. I'm an old rocker, but your music is downright badass!!! Nicely done young man!!! Nicely done!
Mega thanks to Billy, Billy, Jarrod, Royal, and Alex, along with their phenomenal crew! You're all amazing! You've absolutely ruined my workday now. 🤩
I love you all, but my beagle especially loves Billy Failing. Don't tell her I told you.
Totally the best performance ive ever seen and heard!❤ Mindblowing! I love every comment that i read. Billy Strings and his band are some of the best musicians ive ever seen. They are so connected. I am so glad that i discovered them during a Willie Nelson concert and got to see these legends live twice now! Thank you Billy Strings and your bandmates for bringing your talents and enjoyment of playing to all of your fans😊❤🌈🎶
Billy’s love of, and passion for, music is truly a gift to the world. Thank you all💪❤️✨🌎
I always be like, you kno what im sayin…man I gotta listen 2 something besides Billy or Dead for a few & i’ll be like alright alright alright …then 2 seconds later im back being stuck on it hahahah 🤠🤩😸🤙🏼🫶🏼❤️🔥🚂🔊🔊🔊
This guy is a modern day genius very under rated but the Billy fans can see how special he is.Love everything that he brings to music very unique and utmost professional talent I'm glad to have witnessed live.Every opportunity that is there I will go see Billy and the guys in action.I love talented humble genuine people.William Apostol you're the goat 🐐 the guy love you 💞🏴
I just discovered these guys yesterday. These guys are on a different level. I'm 64 years old. I've seen Yes, Blue Oyster Cult, Ted Nugent, Kansas, Lynard Skynyrd, Peter Frampton, Queen, Brian Setser and many others. But this is on the highest level of anything I've seen or heard.
Thank you, Billy Strings and your most talented band mates.
I'm in awe!
I'm in California. I hope you guys make it out this way sometime.
He'll be in California soon, saw him last May at the Greek(LA). They were absolutely brilliant, best group of musicians I've seen in a long time.
Best show out there now!!!
Unplug goofy over a man they just rock rock rock rock rock rock rock
Best live show I've ever been to, never would have thought it would be a bluegrass band.
God has given Billy a very special gift ✌️🤟
In 100 years I hope this man is held in the same regard as Bethoven or Bach. What he is able to do with any musical instrument of choice is mind boggling. I've listened to this set dozens of times and every time it moves me. Everyone on stage is beyond talented. NEVER LOOSE THIS PASSION.
Big time ditto!!!
I’m so grateful for good music.. I was in a bad mood and Billy just snapped me back in alignment.. source energy music for sure
When I listen & feel Billy play, I always feel he "Channels" from untapped Sources of some Universe, or perhaps even many, those far, far away. Some & only Musicians are able to hear and express a Language that is "other Worldly" if you get my drift.
Glad I could contribute 10,000 views to the total 🙏

Thank you for this breakdown. Super helpful for us newer fans/those just diving deeper into the live shows.
“Wah”solo is an envelope filter, not a wahwah. Nod to Garcia with that sound.
@@SkepticalRecords yep, only that the "wah" sound is a more international name... 😅- Definitely an envelope filter!
Hey yep! And thanks for the breakdown on this vid. BMFS!
@@SkepticalRecords Speaking of Garcia, I was getting Feel Like a Stranger vibes during that part. ⚡
These guys make me want to stand up at home.
Wow 1967 Baby and I dug it!!!! Righteous jam, thank you Lord for this!!!! Sweet, Fellow babies, a very righteous Jam! The '60s theme is a great application here, so progressive. The real progressive. This is genius fellow babies. Psychedelic!
🔥This is about as "Billy Strings" as it gets right here🔥
first time hearing this artist and instantly taken back to the Grateful Dead
He used to do amazing Dead covers, you can find them on youtube.
Jerry's a big fan of Billy's. He's just waiting patiently for Billy to make his way to heaven so they can jam for eternity.
This band had touched the hearts of so many including myself! My parents are dead heads, my dad adores Dave Matthews Band…but this is the first time everyone in my family has collectively been getting tickets to any show we can get our hands on. It’s a thrill and has brought us as close as we’ve been since we all lived under the same roof. Your music makes me feel the joy of childhood which means so much during these crazy times. Much love💙
I was there. Incredible. Top notch life changing
This was 1967 James Gang fellow babies.
Best performance ever! I gotta see him live!
The only band that can be mentioned along with the Grateful Dead
RIP! Jerry Garcia but in general, better musicians than the Grateful Dead!
@@ronmiller171 Talking more about playing music for the love of it.
I just keep listening to it. Float down stream for like 40 minutes. Feels like Home, The Michigan Backwoods❤
August? Any relation to WAZZY?
If this is what Michigan back woods feels like
SIGN ME UP!!
BMFS the🐐
Hats off to you Billy Strings. What an amazing talent and what a feat it is to find talent like Royal Masat (bass), Alex Hargreaves (fiddle) and the picking of Billy Failing (banjo), Jarrod Walker (mandolin) together this team is without a doubt incomparable. Could listen and watch the skills of these guys endlessly.
Best video on TH-cam
Toward the end of that Creek, I was reminded of the Music City Roots video. My, how far they've come.
These groupings of songs together are the equivalent to drums and space
Fantastic... and lets all talk about, Mr. Jarrod Walker on the mandolin... he's incredible! Billy, a monster of a musician... Thank all of you, for this awesome performance!
This is a pretty good performance, the aliens watching us would like it .
Absolutely immense. Major thanks to Billy and the boys and all involved. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I been sober a little over a year, and I'm not sure if it'd be the same without the influences from 'Home' and 'Renewal'. Alot of inspiration was pulled from the Realm of Billy Strings. Thank you for all you Fellas do. 💚
Must be 7 does it for me. Has me shouting the yrs I've been clean. Must be 10 now.
@@stevenpetrochko8225 I hear you, I think it's a reference to the Higher self and the promise lands through the Manifestation of our own reality. And the willingness to leave what no longer serves us behind. It's like an ode to "I am, That I am." But Billy's referring to Billy and his path to his higher self. That's atleast how I have internalized it. Great tune, phenomenal actually.
@@stevenpetrochko8225 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't weirded out by all the Masonry and Satanist temple of solomon shit. but hey, who am I to judge how someone sacrifices themselves to make a buck, yee ol monkey paw....
Agreed. Three years clean too, this music helps me everyday.✌️
I'm trying right now August just found Billy last night in the middle of a sleepless night of hell but I'm loving the music
Real...live...music. Thank you Billy and your all star bandmates for the music, the energy, and the humility. See you in NOLA for NYE!
This put me in a trance. I'm honestly blown away. this performance is a masterpiece, next level skill and cohesiveness between all the musicians. 20/10 performance
Quite incredible to hear and watch ain't it?
I’m 55 years old and thought bluegrass had come and gone. I can’t stand to listen to the new pop country, and most of the music nowadays has no 38:04 soul. Billy has revived bluegrass, and his and his bands talent is almost unmatched as I see it. So thankful for him and his band.
The last minute where he thanked the audience was more authentic than I’ve ever seen from a musician. We are so thankful for you and your band Billy. Hopefully I will be able to come see you one day live. Keep on truckin!
I’m quite literally mind blown
First time I have ever heard of Billy Strings. This is some amazing talent.
Simply ridiculous.
Hahahahaha@@Lvnindistube
I'm so jealous, boy do you have some treats in store.
Buckle up!😂
Welcome aboard
Beyond universal! I want to be there and everywhere with you n all to meet you n know you n feel all that right there. Im moving my feet n my body now. Voice like love n music to live with. Im really lovin this. Happy for utube but real life is real lide n nothing can beat that. Inspire me more please. Thank you so very much needed now. Peace
Creek is my favorite live song. That was un-f'ng-believable. When they went back into Creek's final verse I had tears of joy streaming down my face while singing at the top of my lungs. Thank you guys!
As a guitarist, do you all realize the amazingly great speed and timing he has... he had to of started playing before he could walk to be so bad arse
I have said this from the beginning,and will say it again;Who,I say .Who,can out play billy strings?🎶
Holy god. This is epic. Must of been an amazing show to see. The energy of this venue truly is apparent.
This is absolutely the best 38 minutes ever!! I know i have said it before, but my blood pressure actually sky rockets every time i watch this❤❤❤❤❤
Thumbs-up
This is just delightful. I can't even describe how much I love this band's music. Jamz be jamming!!!
Got back from Greensboro yesterday and was absolutely floored as usual. Always bringing the heat and really brought it coming back to the US the other night!
I love the 60's acid rock prelude that melts into bluegrass excellence! 🙂 Billy is on my top listen list. I ran across his 'dust in a baggy' video and just had to check him out. Glad I did.
Sitting backstage working costumes for a show rn, I clicked on the vid thinking I'd check out a few minutes of this and next thing I know I get sucked in, sat through the whole thing...
Billy is the Pinkus Floydus of the 2020's
Production quality on this one is awesome.
For the new fans -
Pyramid Country 18:48
Must Be Seven 27:18
I was lucky enough to see this in person. It was mind blowing!!
I was lucky enough to be at the show. That was a very good night spent with great friends ....and Billy.
lucky you so glad u got to go❤
Love the Turmoil Tease
Yea that got a lot of people😂
I'm not sure he did it on purpose.
The slightest Warf Rat hidin in there too!! Great show!!
Holly shit.. that was the most rock n roll fkn thing I've ever seen.. 38 minutes of amazing music
Mahavishnu- like intensity and virtuosity.
Hey Billy. Much L&R to you and yours. I hope you come through Northern AZ soon. We would love to see your band play. Peace
This is INCREDIBLE! From a parking lot in McKees Rocks, to the Roxian Theater, all the way to Red Rocks.. and beyond!! What a journey. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🤘
I've been right there with starting at the rocks, lol. See ya Wednesday
Somehow I missed McKees Rocks, but I was there when he opened for Greensky at Stage AE and stole the show
I am continually impressed by Billy and his crew. What an amazing collection of humans.
Billy (MFing) Failing jam out of Must Be Seven into Creek is the baddest fucking banjo I’ve heard in my entire life. I mean what the FUCK 🔥🤣
That mandolin in the first song was incredible. The first song here was such an interesting blend of bluegrass, funk, classical, and metal/rock. Very cool.
Jarrod Walker is a monster on the mandolin every single show.
I used to love playing in the creek when I was a little girl.
I'm 52 and I Still love playin in the creek. Growing older is inevitable, growing up is optional! Don't let the spark die!
Masterpiece, congratulations from Brasil.
Can't wait for you guys to start dropping full live concert albums!!!!
You are aware of the Billy Strings Archive channel on You tube? Lots already for nothing...but I'll buy anything he releases, that's for sure!
Yes, the TouchTunes jukebox needs it especially.
They play all of these songs as 1 song without stopping. 🙀 Thats hella TALENT right there! BMFS 🔥🎉🎸🎻🪕❤️
Thats the true jam band way. Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Grateful Dead, and some prog rock groups do this. Really impressive stuff. I think thats why Billy Strings speaks to other genre fans a lot. People who like psych rock or jam bands really tuning in to some bluegrass for the first time because of Billy.
You're not wrong, but it's what every jam band does.
@@Daruma_Studiotrue and 100% agree
@@drasticbread249true :)
nod to jerry
F****** love you brother good work
So fucking epic
A FUCKING MEN😂😊❤😂😅
A man with a guitar...yes!
Yeah GOAT thanks Billy if I ever get a chance to see you maybe at the caverns in Nashville I don't want an autograph all I want is a hug
My first show was at LJVM in 1996. Pantera and White Zombie. Brings back good memories. How did I just hear Billy for the fist time tonight?
Man o Man can’t wait for NOLA !!
Another spectacle of talent from this guys!! I'm so lucky to have seen them in their prime!! I wish you all the best and i will see you soon!!
As ihave said before... Gorgosity upon gorgosity. I have seen anyone make love to a guitar like he does since Doc Watson or Jerry Garcia
Thats the longest, finest version of " Meet me at the creek" ive ever heard.✌️🇺🇲
But not the longest. Last New Year's Eve in NOLA, that Creek was 27+ minutes. Billy the Kid has a good video of it on TH-cam.
First time listener: amazed!
That's a Lil dust in a baggie right cheer! Lololol fookin amazing ❤❤❤❤
Well after this it's going to be ten times harder to get those St Augustine tickets next year!
