- Billy Strings performing John Hartford’s ‘’Long Hot Summer Day’’ on 6/12/21 from Wintrust Field in Schaumburg, IL
Note: 2nd time played ever. Last time was 8/31/18 Peoria, IL
Summer Solstice Tour 2021
if you look up the John Hartford ‘ramblin’ version of this song, he does the exact same thing with the crowd at the end. Really cool Billy paid tribute to him to that degree. John Hartford is the most underrated country musician there ever was
I want to listen to this for at least an hour. 💕🙋🎶
How appropriate to play this song in Illinois. Makes me miss John Hartford.
He's spinning in his grave you can bet your ass on that. Billy strings would have made him proud but this Bailly Springs character would have him fightin mad playing one of his songs in drag.
Funny little tidbit, the lyric he sings at 2:02 about having a gal in Schaumburg. The original Hartford lyric is a small town named Pekin. I was born and raised there and the first time I heard this song, it blew my mind. Pekin is a small town of 40K south of Peoria, literally a town almost no one has heard of. So I always feel a lil pride knowing my home town is mentioned in a tune by the great John Hartford.
Also my first. The energy was nuts. Love him.
This was my 1st Billy show! Thank you for capturing Looooong Hot Summmer Day! I cannot put into words what I felt Saturday! 🌞🎶🐐💥❣
Miss John Hartford and his aeroplane. Love this
I like to imagine John Hartford, Doc, Bill, Ralph, Tony, and all the other bluegrass greats that have left us, flying around on that steam powered aeroplane high in the sky.
I’d say they are looking down on Billy saying “Damn that kid has talent! Our music is in good hands.”
Last night was my first Strings experience and I'm ready for the second time already
Same 😎
Wow welcome y'all it's a wild ride!!🐐🔥🤘
@@dwildrover2426 been listening for a while. Just need to get to a live show! Glad I did! Ready for my next one!!!
Tomorrow night will be our first and I'm stoked!
Sooo stoked!
Went straight to TH-cam after seeing this on the set list. Thanks for the upload!!!
Oh BMFS, what would I ever do without you guys?! Grateful, thankful 💚 from IL on a long 🔥 summer day
Fans, give yourselves a big hug. Great participation!!!!😍😍😍😍
There was a solid clap going to the beat out in the outfield. Atmosphere was great!
I wake myself up singing this in my sleep for the last week! Great Version! Obviously can't get it out of my head!
The pink hair and the dress didn't sully it up a tad? lol
Just hope the majority are familiar w/ John Hartford, if not, sure should be now....Thanks Billy for paying tribute to the Masters.
Love Billy Strings so.proud of him.
Great cut, great show!!!
I used to hang out with a girl in Lubbock Texas named Angela and man she loved this song!! First time this ol Georgia boy ever bought beer on a Sunday! Summer of 2011!! Damn it man!!
I bet ole Angela from Lubbock wouldn't have pissed on you if you were on fire though if you had pink hair and were wearing a dress though am I right? lmao
Was at this concert this was one of the best songs he played and all his songs are good. Great cover of a great song🖖
I love these guys!
Love this
Danced my ass off in Schaumburg!
He can make you get engrossed in the music while wearing whatever that was! Haha
Still love you Billy, Billy, Jarrod, and Royal😍😍😍😍😍😍
Call it a dress he's obviously cool with it. Shame though that his popularity will plummet faster than a rocket. Oh well, he gave it his best shot lol
Maynard James kennan-esque
I totally should have gone. Thanks Matt
See you in a couple weeks buddy! Can’t wait!
Ohgrown for prez🎉
Perfect 👍
People won’t ever forget u with that outfit on the song was great also
One of the best live performances i’ve ever seen in person. Does anybody have a video of his opening into Running? Really wanna hear it again
Hi kevin ,His new album is incredible Home, must be 7, i relate to what he sings, whats that hes wearing a dress, was it a gag or something, he went from hippy to long hair to i dont know what, he didnt look like the same Billy from just a couple of months go.I was shocked to see the pink hair , i love the guys music ,no one can come close to Billy hes a master on that guitar when it comes to picking, song writing, like its part of him.I just hope hes ok if you know what i mean.
@@littlesilver2205 He's not OK. He's gotta know he's pissing away what was the most exciting breakout onto the music scene I've seen in years. There's no way he believes people who love Doc will stand for his woke bullshit. Wow what a mammoth disappointment.
@@K131399 It doesn’t matter what you were just as you are there.My oh my you must be fun on a Saturday night have you ever asked yourself the question am I kind?
@@K131399 thanks for the honest truth i knew something was wrong ,the kids so dam gifted that dam powder has no conscience .
@@farsideofthehill6771 I play blues on Saturday nights and for $10,000,000 I wouldn't play an Albert King tune with pink fucking hair and wearing a dress. Call me crazy but that would be like taking a dump on Albert King, who not that it matters but if I did and Albert witnessed it he'd rightfully kick my or anyone's ass on the spot on principle.
I guess he just likes that Stringbean shirt.lol Didn't make the connection at first.🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wow he had so much promise this is heartbreaking. The poor bastard has pink hair and is wearing a dress while playing bluegrass yikes
@@K131399 he’s also the most popular and mainstream ‘bluegrass’ artist there is today. Let him be different if he wants to, it’s working for him. Most bluegrass bands these days play local festivals for 1200 people
@@K131399 Billy is secure enough in his talent and his loyal fans, to get crazy sometimes. HE IS HERE TO STAY!!! And his career will continue to skyrocket 🤗🤗🤗
That would be a helluva contrast of Dad was up there wearing his standard camo gear… but hey!… great pickers.
Love his sound and his uniqueness... but I get the feeling he just got visited by the ghost of Christmas past while watching this lol
I've been joking calling him Bailly Springs because of the smurf hair but OMG the poor bastard's wearing a dress with pink hair. I feel so bad for his band, they probably thought they hit the jackpot and now this lol
Google David "Stringbean" Akeman and then it just might start making more sense for the outfit choice, as for the hair color choices he either has a hair colorist as a girlfriend or just bored tourbus KoolAid hair dying shenanigans!
@@tiffanymitchellsetliff5915 Google Will Smith's son wearing his dresses. Is he doing gay porn yet? lol
Guess what song I'm gonna wake up singing again now! Thanks to K!
@@K131399 Google the link between being in the closet and homophobia
hes a rockstar man lol what do u wear to work
