He said on Instagram, he won't since he wants people to know him for his own songs and not just his dead covers. I do really miss them too. I wish he would do them, just really sparingly.
John Mayer has said the slipnot interlude is the hardest piece of Dead music to play and as a player I have to agree. Bravo to Billy and his band. This is supreme ✊🏽🙌
I'm so thrilled that I found this!!! No words how great this sounds to this old dead head, absalutely awesome. I love Billy Strings and had no idea he had taken his music to this place, but damn, I am in my GD heaven place listening to this right now! ♡
Just stumbled across this extraordinary cover of one of my favorite 2nd set group of songs… Billy knocks it out of the park with this arrangement… such a pleasure to listen to… made my week!!! Thx Mr. Strings 😁
Billy is the best talented flat picker guitarist in this whole wide world!!! 🌎. They (Billy:) going to take over what the dead has left behind, the following of grateful dead billy goats 🐐 from show to show! Tour to tour Shake down streets and all ! Bet!!! It’s showing. Billy goats show up get in line and camp out days before the show comes to town ✌️✌️✌️
Mayer, Billy, we are convinced you can do anything musically at this point. And in the spirit of exploring, proven. We need a flatpicker to carry the Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Jerry Reed torch. We need a white boy that no matter how much he fights it, is utterly a true blues torch waiting to turn it loose again like only un-Dead Mayer can. Be who you are. There's an endless supply of jam guitarists. Teach these kids what is what.
I really miss these Dead covers … bring em back please!

This one goes out to my sister
I have been nervous for everyone, including Garcia, every single time I've heard Slipknot because it's such a tricky trail to navigate!
I'm an OLD bass player and am so impressed with how with no drummer the bass player carries the rhythm and the melody!!! ????
You made an old deadhead cry..great job😂
Billy has a Giant pair of Balls for not only attempting something like this but for completely Crushing this Medley of Songs, well fucking done!
@ 9:00 I swear it was into Roll Away the Dew. Oh,... it is!!!! PHUQ,... this is BREATH TAKING!! Dude's,.. you killed it! Memories,.. I was crying.

Nobody, Nobody can play Jerry Garcia like this man! Mr. Garcia would be so proud!

Props to the bass player for working Led Zeppelin's Ramblin On into Franklin's Tower.
Billy Strings Live or Dead; is fantastic fun!
Hell yeah Billy love to see you at the Fillmore!
State theater was amazing 👏
Love the Ramble On reference in the Franklin's Tower jam.

One big smile and tears of joy
