I always feel like he is channeling Jerry, and adding his own amazing energy. Going to the one of the upcoming shows and.... I'm altogether too excited.
@@lisbethbird8268 I think heads are pretty quick to pick up on this. BMFS applies what I call a layer of his own "dead butter" to faithful reproductions, making them both unique and instantly recognizable. That's why heads flocked to him rapidly as his UA-cam presence grew. Good on him.
@@zirconarmadillo right on. I hesitate to say though that "dead butter" sounds a little bit f'd up to me. Like a bit creepy. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way. Them guys are great.
@@KM-sr8dd Its in our blood, I dont know hardly anyone where I live who either doesnt currently play an instrument, or once played to some extent. I play 3 instruments myself, but im not dedicated enough to perform. I jsut have fun with it and attempt to jam with Billy and friends once in a while ;p
@@shiner421 Thats sick. Yea, obv MoTown back in the day. KId Rock was huge, and still cool. Greta is sick and young and growing. Now Billy tearing it up. Im sure Im missing people too.
Billy Barber is 31yrs old, I do believe...He's my favorite guitarist and his Band, most awesome dude's, love the Banjo Billy Failing, their all in sync!!!🌼
@@cherylwilliams904 I'm with you, he's my favorite living guitarist. Not a big deal, but only to show how accomplished he is, at such a young age, William Apostol (Billy Strings' birth name) was born October 3, 1992. My math says he'll turn 29 this year.
What a great sequence this is. The ease with which they fit Tangled in there is genius. My current musical goal is to see Billy Strings live. Hopefully before the world ends.
I LIVE IN LOUISVILLE DOWN TOWN NEAR WATER FRONT PARK I SAW THIS SHOW .... I COULD HEAR THE OTHER SHOWS SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN AWESOME!!!
Man that'd be great tubular!!! I need to move to the city, somewhere I can see shows within walking distance. Havnt been to a live show in a long time and I like musical too much for that shit!
He did it again! Billy never stops to amaze me with his skillz. Anytime I think I`ve seen the best he got, he blows me away once more like a leaf in a twister!
I am watching this one for the first time. They just blow me away every time I see a new performance. Who does Billy not sound like here? Eagles, Dylan, Yes, Allman Bros, Morrison, The Dead..... Maybe he is just the "True Son of Rock and Roll".
Is it me or does Billy look like 2 differnt people a few months back, i get the hair cut but i was sort of shocked when i seen his face, i didnt know it was him until i seen the tats, I been following him for 2 years now , did it catch anyone elses attention. .His music is incredible he has a gift,its like the guitar is a part of him when he plays.
Geez I love this! Quoting "Blue Skies" solo at 23:40 and a taste of Joe Jackson "Beat Crazy" in passing, then back to his own take on Jerry's most inspired playing from Blues for Allah. Oh, and he plays Doc Watson style stupendously too.
This right here illustrates why Mayer Sucks...Billy's been channeling Garcia since he was like 12 whereas Mayer decided to go through a "Dead phase" when he was 35 or so...
July16 Whitefish Montana I am going and I am so excited The 17 and 18 are full of greatness as well Jason Isbell Tyler Childers Elle king Colter wall mandolin Orange Brothers Osbourne emmylou Harris its gonna be lit and I'm gonna be lit Fire !!!
TREMENDOUS!! Seamless song transitions... I hear guitar influences of Jeff Beck, Jimmy Paige, Zakk Wylde, Travis Meeks, Peter Frampton, Jimi Hendrix, Popa Chubby, Johnny Winter, Tim Reynolds, Robin Trower, Lindsey Buckingham to name but a few legends. Absolutely delightful picking w/ an incredible knowledge of the fret board. I tip my hat to you Mr. Billy Strings. You are a gift from the gods....
I closed my eyes, fired one up and damn near cried... miss my road family in a bad way!!! Can’t wait for live music again. Thank 4 posting this my brother cya @ Summer Camp Music Festival my friends.
Damn Billy. I hadn't seen this one. A classic. You boys just kick azz. Please come to Orlando soon. Say, ya'll didn't by any chance make any deals with a guy outback, who had a strange reddish skin color and was carrying a pitch fork, did you?
I got to see Dylan do Tangled Up in Blue, all acoustic with Charlie Sexton AND Larry Campbell, on the last big tour in which Bob played guitar all night, and this is right there
New to the bus, absolutely ❤ him and his guitar skills and the entire bands sound. Question, why isn't that park/concert full, or was ir and can't tell?
Hearing Billy’s Dead covers brings tears to my eyes. He makes these songs totally his own, while still remaining 100% faithful to the original.
That's exactly why I love him so much

Best tangled up in blue in a while, looove it, over and over again.
Billy and his band are the tip of the bluegrass sword people. Thank god we are alive at the same time he is.
thee is no bluegrass sword, its a dead genre, little hillbilly yee haw music. for the whiter than white crowd.
It’s May 77 right now
I love how a kid from Michigan is out there making a name for himself, getting people into bluegrass who aren't into bluegrass
A lot of talent comes out of MI. Impressive state musically.

Where in Michigan?
@@teardowngarage5608 Lansing area I'm pretty sure?
He sounds like Jerry's kid, and not Mr. Lewis. The dad he has was a great influence on him. To our benefit. Thank you Mr. Terry Barber.
Not Mr Lewis....ahahahahaha
Absolutely bro. Ill be at new years in grand rapids lets meet up terry may be there
@@calebgregory9818 yes sir 333
Joe, thank you, I couldn’t have said it better!
I thought the exact same thing!
At 28 ??? simply mind blowing 🤯 been listening for about a year. Just keeps getting better.
Been following Billy since 2013, knew he was gonna be HUGE from the fist note i saw him play

Billy started playing guitar at 4 years old !
What a great sequence this is. The ease with which they fit Tangled in there is genius. My current musical goal is to see Billy Strings live. Hopefully before the world ends.
Worth every cent!! They are transcendent. I’ve seen em 4 times, and it isn’t anywhere near enough
@@markadams2619 One of the best shows I've ever seen. In Detroit. The last night of the tour with my daughter.
Billy is going to save the 🌎, you should go soon anyway!
Absolutley see BMFS!!!! They are the answer to the worlds woes!!
More people need to experience them!!

They are quickly becoming my favorite band
can i get an update? :)
He did it again! Billy never stops to amaze me with his skillz. Anytime I think I`ve seen the best he got, he blows me away once more like a leaf in a twister!
The torch of epic live music is blazing brightly with this amazingly talented group!!!
Beautiful. "If you get confused, listen to the banjo play.."
You can be cool, but will you ever be as cool as Billy strings with hot pink hair and matching John Lennon glasses covering the dead then Bob dylan?
No, I will never be that cool, but I'm glad to be on the bus :)

Word!!!!
I’ll be that cool.
The Tangled into Slip was seamless! Bless you Billy for gracing us with you!
I hope one day before his idols pass Billy gets to strap on wolf or rosebud and let Jerry just flow right through him.
Thank you for saying Rosebud. She's my fave on God ♥️⚡️💙
To have billy play with the dead….oh the joy that would be to my ears. Do they just not pick up John on the way to the gig.
Oh its gonna happen!
Keep sending it out in the universe!
He did get to play Tony Rices’ guitar ….. there’s a really good video featuring it 😎
If you get confused listen to the Banjo Play!!! :)
...and the Mandolin ;^>
Funk yea !!!
Brings tears to my eyes
Jerry would have loved this kid!!!!!!
No doubt ! This is sick
Ouuu shucks don't stop for a million bucks uuueee this feeling is killin me, don't let go 🌺
It's probably better I wasn't there... My head would have exploded. Literally all my favorites mashed up.

billy gettin ready to give mayer the summer off...
This right here illustrates why Mayer Sucks...Billy's been channeling Garcia since he was like 12 whereas Mayer decided to go through a "Dead phase" when he was 35 or so...
I'm sure thousands of us feel the same
@@davidwerner8684 actually there both lame
@@bobs3456 Cool story, asshole.
@@davidwerner8684 That's a poor attitude. STFU.
The sound quality on this is sweet
His solo on Franklin’s Tower is unreal....
Totally agree!
Love the seamless transitions as well…
I said to myself, “Jesus! Billy! You’ve done so much for us already”
This guy is going to help make my Summer great!
I see a fanbase following this young gun around the country. He's living for the music, and the music lives in him.
It was AMAZING. Sunday was the only night I caught.
Me too, but damn it was great!!
This was the best thing to come out of 2021. Fucking LOOOOVE it.
I like the way he is always broad into versatility and very inspired n true to his guitar. Can't. Wait to see him in person! Yayhoo!
July16 Whitefish Montana I am going and I am so excited The 17 and 18 are full of greatness as well Jason Isbell Tyler Childers Elle king Colter wall mandolin Orange Brothers Osbourne emmylou Harris its gonna be lit and I'm gonna be lit Fire !!!
Thanks for capturing one of the best bands out! Billy Strings just know how to get the people going!
What a feeling at 14:04...amazing.
Well now I have to listen to this whole show on Nugs thanks
Outstanding! Thanks for capturing this, and doing such a great job!

Man. Y'all never cease to blow my mind! Lovin' everything from hard core old school grass , originals, and classic rock covers.
Bad ass!
#blessed to be at all these shows
Chills hearing it again
It’s taken 26 years but I have found my new Jerry !
This is crazy good! Seeing him in Vegas over Labor Day and I am stoked!
Thanks for the great video. Billy killed it. This is one of my go to videos. Probably watched it at least 100x
Help on Way is one of my fave Dead tunes. Nice goin Billy and the boys.
Unbelievable weekend
Holy shit
I was the dude on crutches lol. Sitting somewhere around this perspective. Thanks for sharing

God bless you for recording this and God bless the Billy goat and his goat friends 🐐 🙏 🔥
23:00 Mando player shows a good understanding of Jerry Garcia.
great video thankyou Billy is already a legend at just 27
Thank you Grateful Dead, for writing these most excellent songs for Billy to sing. You really understand his unique talent. You were right on time.
Thank you, Billy Strings for honoring The Grateful Dead...
Yeah Daniel pounds! I think you’re correct 💕
A trillion thumbs up!
Love this as well as a whole every time I see i.hear you loving every friggin time love always your Sunshine ❤️❤️🌞
Wow! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Man what a great talent... Wish I could go back and see the dead...
Excellent set list Excellent talent

🔥🔥🔥 thanks for shooting and sharing!
I agree🔥🔥🔥
This is awesome! Thank you for posting.
Sehr geil!! Billy ist der Grösste!
Keep on keeping on, so glad you are here with us Billy!
It just doesn’t get any better. No BS, just shredding.
No B.S., just BMFS!!
Anyone reading this look up Boston 7/25/23 All fall down!! You’re faces will melt off!!! Specifically “Amy Karibian” vid!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Simply incredible! Can't wait to see these guys
Great post Doug.
Raw talent !!! Very nice indeed 😎
these guys completely kick ass.
Makes me feel good that at least there is some of the younger generation that has their head on straight !!
Looking back
Probably the best run of the sans st Auggie
I feel it in my bones
Yeah man. That’s a tough call. Was at both 3 night runs. Both runs were absolutely barn burners
@@dougheck33 your good people
THANKS FOR SHARING DOUG
💚🙏💚
Humble they are!
Omg, I’m in heaven! ❤️🎶🎸
Well done for recording this, i felt like i was there at this great jam.
truly amazing
thx for the videos! I wasn't able to go
No one does Jerry Garcia as well as Billy!
Nobody does Jerry Garcia except Jerry Garcia.
@@landonmccalmon7121 Jerry did. Among those who are still doing, or trying to do, Mr Apostal (aka Strings) is up there as high as anyone.
lol
That was such a great show!!!
Omg 💖💖💖👌👌 it's deserving of the smoking emoji 👌❤️
holy wow! super groovy!
12:30 the crowds moving like they are each focusing on different instruments
Wasn’t expecting it to actually look like that haha
Damn Billy. I hadn't seen this one. A classic. You boys just kick azz. Please come to Orlando soon. Say, ya'll didn't by any chance make any deals with a guy outback, who had a strange reddish skin color and was carrying a pitch fork, did you?

Wicked Awesome
Was that filming on your fone?
Thanks
Yes!!!!!
I’m really starting to like this Kid.
Beautiful!!!!!
Amazing as always billy and love your beautiful pink hair keep killing it ! Why so much talk on a hair color ? In 2021 seems silly!
Hell yes what a great set
Damn, Jerry loved the bluegrass opportunities he had. At least I think so. Get it Bilbo
I don't think these people knew what a special thing they got to see live. And it's a small crowd.
WOWZERS..
New to the bus, absolutely ❤ him and his guitar skills and the entire bands sound. Question, why isn't that park/concert full, or was ir and can't tell?
Now this 🎶would make my 🎂 weekend #packthebowl 8/6-8/7 😎✌️
..... nothing like playing outside in the daylight!
Thanks for the share! Was blessed to be on the rail for this. Magical🐐🪕✌🏽
At the beginning of the video it appears there are circular rail pods corralling small groups of people or something? Curious what rail you were on?
just SO GOOD
Help/slip/tangled/slip/all fall down/space/all fall down/frank
pretty fantastic
Hey Billy you need to do a couple songs with Rosie Potter.
nah wtffffff bro, these guys are insane.
