    There was a time when people just enjoyed the experience. Now, people are more concerned with getting a decent shot to post. Most of these people will never watch the video they posted.

      There was a time when people just enjoyed the experience. Now, people are more concerned if they have a couple of extra bucks to put in there car just to make it to work. I personally enjoyed the experience of watching the first two shows in Asheville & enjoyed videoing the third for the people that couldn’t travel or afford the tickets. Happy Thanksgiving Gene. I’m Thankful to watch concerts on UA-cam I can’t get tickets to.

      @@HollerLandUSA it was partially a lament for a different time, and partially a lament for people who go to their kid's concert, and record it only to lose the experience itself, and never watch the video.
      There are so many people who are so concerned with recording an "experience" that they never actually HAVE the experience in the first place. Do you get what I'm saying?

      @@uadimwit I do. Music & Concerts are good for the soul. It’s a different time & many moments are missed looking down at our phones or watching a show behind a camera lens. I enjoy both aspects of getting the shot & watching it live. In this particular show I recorded half Billy’s songs. I danced & grooved the other half. I’m proud to have had the opportunity to share with others & enjoy reading that others who couldn’t attend enjoyed watching.

      @@dbrutiger8232 I was deep in it on a long Saturday back in ‘08 or ‘09 up on Poppy Mountain in Kentucky. I’ll never know who was on stage but I was on a 20x20 concrete slap thinking about dancing. My hiking boots were light & dry as a feather in my mind, as I started in clogging. A clog almost like the lady beside. “I’m Dina” she hollared “Dip Me!”
      Now dipping I can do… just hadn’t had much experience with the clog+dip.
      I’d remember what Dina looked like if she yelp again like she did that day.
      I’d like to think Ralph Stanley was on stage when I broke her fall with my face & my knee cap. When she popped right back up & I rolled over & brushed off on my backside; Whoever was up there whipped up a helping of “Shady Grove” like you’ve never heard before.
      I’m a sober video guy now rooting for the drinkers, the cloggers, the dancers & the dippers. If a dip drops or Shady Grove pops I’d like to catch it so we both can remember who’s on stage.

    Listening and watching a "new" artist like Billy cover these two classic rock tunes only proves how deeply cemented LZ and BS are in musical history. Near the end of War Pigs, Billy has his eyes closed while he plays, as if it's an almost spiritual experience. And these songs are still monuments along the path of any righteous guitarist. The past is in good hands.

      I remember the first time I listened to Zepplin in the early 70s riding around in the back of a 67 Chevy van called Panama Red smoking Colombian gold….lol

      I'm 51. This tune was magic for me at the beginning of this crazy journey. Think the music was even used in a Seasame Street skit. Ole Billy n crew pulled it off which in itself is high praise

    I almost feel like someone dared Billy Strings to play War Pigs on Halloween '22
