- Billy Strings is not only a world class musician but he is a humble person. I reached out to give him a high five or shake his hand and he took my hand a shook it right back. I had never seen Chris Thile or Cory Henry before, and they were amazing. It was an incredible show.
The supergroup we never knew we needed.
This is what was needed at Telluride Bluegrass's 50th last summer!!! Glad it's finally happening
Amen to that.😊😊
Corporate music cannot compete with this....we need more.
Diddy said the industry only elevates people without talent, bc then the "artists" know they're only successful bc the industry allowed them to be and it can be taken away at any time. It's literally designed to avoid elevating talented musicians. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
This whole show was pure magic. Just perfect all night. For folks who asked.. At one point during the show Chris said.. Should we play the rest with just one shoe off. And they both kneeled down at the same time and indeed took a shoe off. It was such a fun little moment out of many. At one point Chris's shoe came untied and Billy bent down and tied it. Chris says.. See Billy has respect for his elders lol he had everyone cracking up. This little theater in Lincoln center was renovated and now is easily one of the most amazing acoustically sounding rooms you could ever see a performance at. Absolutely perfect for this stripped down show. I really hope they play together some more. They only practiced a little together before this and it was like they'd been playing together their whole lives. So grateful to have been there.
Thile is only 10 yrs older than Billy -
not exactly his “elder”😂
thx for sharing your experience with us - sounds like an amazing and unique venue and performance ❤
Sounds like an amazing show. People taking one shoe off. So sad I missed that amazing act of performance 🙄
They really should do a duet album! It would be splendid like the duet albums Chris has done with Edgar Meyer or Mike Marshall.
@@alro11 Thanks for reading it. It truly was a really special show.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d see Cory Henry play with BMFS and Chris Thile, but damn I’m here for it!
Who’s is bmfs? First time seeing him
@@alrightythen1466 it’s the initials for Billy’s legal name.
@@alrightythen1466Billy Mutha Fuckin Strings 😂
Billy Mutha Fuckin Strings!
This is a Grammy winning trio if I've ever seen one
I’m pretty sure two of the three already have one. 😂
They gotta put out some records for sure 🤞🤞
I love how Billy always pays close attention to what the others are playing. He's so real.
when truly talented people _wing it,_ sometimes you get genuine majesty.
no dancers, costumes, make up, pyrotechnics ,ego trips, just talent, and it blows away everything !
Well said ♥️🕊
As a Christian… I love how hymns have become a part of classic folk music like this and Where the soul of many never dies etc.
As a former Christian, I like how this music has brought me back.
@@CertifiedSkankatheists are always @ssholes.
Roughly half of the Bluegrass repertoire is gospel music.
Makes me cry all the time. My dad and I used to knee slap and sing along in the car all the time on the way and back from his doctors appts and stuff. I made a playlist and we’d just sing away like a couple of the happiest people on earth. I still love hearing it even though it’s hard but I know he’s up there still singing with me. ❤
as an atheist im always delighted when the worship isnt needed to love the song and allows us all to bask in the glory of the songwriting ... which i concede was devotional in the first place and so ... more power to his elbow !!! ... i said atheist not anti theist
have alook here

more of this and less othe other things !!!! ...or more of both and .... im confused
One of the many things I love about Billy is how he doesn't hog the spotlight. It's hard to look away from him as it is, but he gives fellow musicians the floor and can work in with anyone. That's special.
Yep. He’s a consummate pro! He’s a humble dude, despite his insane skills.
Funny because I hadn't heard of Billy before but Chris and Cory are absolute monsters. So 'hog the spotlight' indeed, it all depends on your perspective.
@@bobbycressey
Yup same! Perspective. Thile has been getting Grammy nominations since 1997, and has been awarded a few. Billy's climb to fame was super steep (deservedly so).
Billy is one crazy guy. There's videos of him plying with a ton of people, in different genres - a testimony of how much he is respected and liked by other musicians.
Chris is the actual star , he was selling albums when he was a teen. Billy looks up to him. Billy is amazing, Chris is one of the best ever in his instrument. One with a long line of greats
I see Billy Strings..I click automatically.❤😊
Whoever took this video had to have been sitting near us (6th row center aisle). This show was a revelation in every way. The sound in Geffen Hall was spectacular the performances for the ages. Hope these guys get together again. More please!
Yes, we were actually in 7th row on the left and then I jumped into the first row for the last song. It was an epic show as you say!
that’s actually insane
@@JPs_Music_ChannelJealous, but thank you so much! 😊
I'll never forget the fact that I got to witness this blessing in person
Oh man, it's awesome to see these three geniuses perform together.
Three of the greatest musicians of our time. What a blessing! Thanks for sharing this.
Yes indeed. I suspect he musical brainpower on stage has rarely been matched.
Old gospel classics never lose their soul!
Why can't our world be filled with this kind of unity???
Just a few more weary days and then...

Democrats. Period.
Democrats. Period.
The projection of Billy’s guitar unamplified is crazy. All right hand power and technique.
I really miss "Live, from here". I listened on my way to work, on Sunday nights. A really good way to start a week !
Saturday night
@@cgmoogIt re-broadcast on Sunday afternoons and was just flat out excellent.
Billy with Cory! Worlds are colliding!!! 🤯
Billy is aging in reverse.
I love that Billy is bringing a whole new demographic & fan base to Bluegrass. I hope folks also check out the other artists he's collaborating with, because they are incredible as welll. Chris has been part of several groups and 8've been lucky enough to see him live with two of them for a total of 5 times I think. I don't know as much about Cory Henry, but I'll be checking out his solo stuff and listening to more Snarky Puppy, that's for sure! this sounds like it was a magical night. I thank these amazing musicians for making the world a better place.
Man...I saw Chris T live in Telluride many years ago...this dude is the most energetic live performance and talented mandolin pickeri have ever seen! And what the eff is up with this Billy strings kid and where the hell have I been!? Bluegrass is still thriving. Onward and upward Y'all.
I like this so much better than Billys overproduced for TV awards show.performance.
Skilled hands on a Steinway and Sons; will always work , and Billy's and Chris' hands are on equivalent instruments, what's not to like ?!?
Hats off to the piano Man and the two boys picking 👍love the improv here. Old school
(mostly for JP) If you want a little more of Cory Henry, check out "Snarky Puppy - Lingus (We Like It Here)". I saw your title and thought, "Holy $%^&, Billy and Cory on stage together... I GOTTA hear that." Clearly, that evening was exactly what I would have imagined. World class musicians, no doubt.
I've watched Chris Thile since RI/Rhythm & Roots as Nickel Creek (live)... I've seen him at Carnegie Hall w/ OREFUS (live/sp?), Punch Bros... This is one of the most fun... Tho I love Lighthouse when the twinkles flames light up at GreyFox (live)... I saw Billy Strings in residence at GreyFox (live) & opening for Willie Nelson 90th HBD party (tv). What a wonderful, upbeat, modern strings version of I'll Fly Away. You're Flying dudes, GJ glorijean 🤩
Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
Yeah, when I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
cant get no better and then it does
Y’all brought it together for me. Black and white church. This was my grand mom’s favorite song. I’m black and my first band was blue grass. Music
I've watched several videos now from this show and it was a magical night of music. I wish I could've been there.
This makes me feel like I did as a kid listening to my dad play. 😊
l watched Linda Ronstadt in Dallas Memorial Auditorium on the 'Get Closer' tour while singing 'Desperado" put the mic down and sing to a packed house the last verse and ending. The place went silent and she belted that out so loud and perfect crystal clear throughout the entire arena that then and there she was making her case as the greatest rock/country/folk/hispanic singer of all time. it was amazing and l never will forget it and get teary eyed thinking about it. Love this video.
👍 Ageed, Linda is (and was)an absolute icon before many were called one -- They'll never be 🎶 vocalists who are capable of her unique contributions to Popular music, Imo--
Gotta a big ole smile on my face!
Smiling out loud🥰🎶
Oh my god am I dreaming, how did this even happen?!
Will you fly away ?
Jesus, ✝️ ❤️
If not, I’ll fall down
Been listening to bluegrass for sixty years. Never heard it on keyboard like that
Who in the wide world of sports is that killer pianist? I apologize all over north Georgia for not knowing. I love you all!!!
Cory Henry!
Thank god for You Tube! This is fantastic
The Revival ft Billy Strings would go hard
I’ll be seeing Billy strings in Nashville in 4 weeks and I can’t wait.
What a treat! Didn’t really expect to see these guys together. Considering the gospel roots of bluegrass it makes sense though. Would love to see a project from them
Fantastic artists. ❤❤
I was there for Collier Cunningham, but this one hurts to have missed. Wow. What an epic group of my favorite musicians.
Wish I was there.
Amazing!!! Billy Strings makes my heart sing!!!
Good to see Billy is still "off" the stuff and doing his thing!
They love each other. And we love that they found each other
OMG❣️ Chris Thile AND Billy Strings!!!
Love this song Presvation Jazz Band Does AMAZING JOB OF THIS SONG
I would see this show live ten times over if I could.
Yep. No matter where folks are from. We're all good when we're singin' and dancin' together☮🐉👁
Billy looks like he’s having a blast and why wouldn’t he?
Billy Strings…welcome to the world!
Wow wow wow. Never imagine seeing two of my favorite musician up there together. Cory Henry is a master in jazz music and Billy strings in Bluegrass. I don’t know the name of the guy on the mandolin but he is pretty awesome too. Y’all made my day.
I would go to that church
I’m a big fan
They’re trio right there
