I live in Kentucky and one nice day I decided to go to Ohio County to see Bill Monroe's grave site and lo and behold Pen Vandiver is buried nearby. I was happy to see it since I grew up listening to bluegrass music and I love it. Billy and his band are so good.
And what's ever better - they don't play it too fast. About as perfect of a tempo as you can get. Love to see that from younger musicians, not that I'm THAT old.
Wow, I get to write the first comment here. Ok, well my father was a Bill Monroe fan, if fact Bill was his favorite musician. After hearing and seeing this video, (and many other of Billy's videos) I know he would also be, without a doubt, a Billy Strings fan. This is wonderful. Long live Billy Strings and Jam on.
Gr8 jammin out Uncle Pen Would love to hear Billy Sing Standin On The Corner by Jimmy Rogers.... Only thing i haven't heard Billy do AmaZAHzing yet is YODEL🤸🤸🤸🌈🤸🤸🤸🎶💥👌🏿
When Billy forgets the words and the band plays an extra round instead of restarting the song, is there a preprogrammed light sequence that is getting restarted or does that mean that all of the lighting changes (even if the change is preprogrammed) are getting manually set off by the lighting person?
You know damn good and well Bill Monroe would be rolling over in his grave over the word fuck. Ive always enjoyed the word fuck myself. I use it quite often. Lord come take my sweet cakes but dont take my foul language cause Ill be needing that shit.🙃
That incredible fiddle intro left Billy speechless 😂
My favorite bluegrass song and he did an amazing job ♥️♥️♥️
Billy was born to do this. 🙂👍
I've been watchin' Billy's progress with glee....One of the best daggum guitar pickers of the last Um.....Maybe 40 or 50 years...
Hit that "G" Run Billy!!!!🎵🎶🎵... one of the Best Songs in Bluegrass!!

Good to see the young-uns carry on the music.
As expected, a great cover of this iconic Bill Monroe song. Each and every bluegrass musician needs to know it.

Much agree.
Now that's music! All are fantastic! Mandolin player is just super!
Mighty fine! Monroe and Skaggs would love this!
Sure. Monroe always said. FUCK I FORGOT THE WORDS
Disgusting insult to Mr. Monroe. Shame on you Billy..@@redfoley9608
Please watch your vulgar language.

Billy’s voice has really evolved and improved since he first came out. His vocals starting matching his great guitar skills.
One of the best bluegrass songs ever.
I'm glad you got this one.
I'm glad you like it
Is it just me or is Billy’s singing voice getting stronger?
Agreed
End of puberty! 😁
He’s gotten confidence
It’s Me And You Buddy.
I've just discovered him recently and based on what I see you are correct
Yehaw,billy an band!!!love yall!!✌💙💨420

I worked at this show it was awesome show. I think he’s taking bluegrass to a new level awesome
So awesome!
Fiddle always makes a song better.
Billy Strings: forgets the words
...then magically recalls them and sings the song just as well if not better than the original
That was fun to hear!
Wow❤
I do believe our beloved Bluegrass music is in good hands.
You have an excllent band.
Saw them perform this one last night in Seattle 🎉 BMFS!
Thr guy on fiddle is great

Would love to hear Billy Sing Standin On The Corner by Jimmy Rogers.... Only thing i haven't heard Billy do AmaZAHzing yet is YODEL🤸🤸🤸🌈🤸🤸🤸🎶💥👌🏿
I don't know where Billy found this Alex Hargraves, but he completed the band!.....Like the needed some help!!!! WOW!
I love Bill Monroe and the bluegrass Boys but this cover is really good
Great job on the cover Uncle pen !!The father of Bluegrass Bill Monroe, would be proud of Billy’s performance .
Except the vulgar language...
Well if you don’t know, now you know Bill Monroe !
That G run sounds so fucking good!!!!
Please watch your vulgar language... it's not necessary to prove your point. Jesus loves you. Please repent.
Bluegrass is in good hands.
It sounded good!... I'm not too sure about what Mr Monroe would say about some Greasy Little Dope Smoking Hippie Playing His Music Though....
Making Bill proud right there.
Boy now that will set your old toe to tappin!
When Billy forgets the words and the band plays an extra round instead of restarting the song, is there a preprogrammed light sequence that is getting restarted or does that mean that all of the lighting changes (even if the change is preprogrammed) are getting manually set off by the lighting person?
I heard versions way too fast and way too slow. This is just perfect!!
I imagine he forgot the words because he was thinking "Hey, we got Alex now!"
Who overdubbed Monroe's voice on the chorus?
Hell yea!!!
You know damn good and well Bill Monroe would be rolling over in his grave over the word fuck. Ive always enjoyed the word fuck myself. I use it quite often. Lord come take my sweet cakes but dont take my foul language cause Ill be needing that shit.🙃

Mr Monroe would not say that....
I just wish he wouldn't use the F-word....
It’s just a word!!!
The gratuitous “F” word, just ruined a nice performance.
