I absolutely love how they switch up and or add to the songs or change the tempo and seem to never play a song exactly the same. They just keep getting better and better I didn't think it was possible but they do it every show.🔥

I mean this guy is the next up..as much as I think he knows that, it’ll take others time to notice, which is fine by me - and us all - right? It’s all about just spreading good music and vibes to one another 🙂There’s enough we deal with on a day to day basis that contextually really means nothing at the end of the day. We do our best, and that’s all we can do, and is more than most can say.
Bill Monroe ,Lester Flatt ,Earl Scruggs ,and Ralph Stanley would love this identical sound they created mostly minus the Carter Family dating back many years ago ! Hey Marty Stuart ,my friend ,I can see Bluegrass is ALIVE & WELL! Take a well deserved break opening that awesome museum in Philadelphia !
This kid is the very best electric acoustic player I've ever witnessed ! When you stack up to Doobie Brothers roots acoustic guitar music ,you've made a very serious impact ! Somebody mentioned Travis Tritt and I had to say Hell No ! Travis does have that 100 Million Dollar Voice as I've seen him live 15 Times
I'm a first-timer from farmfest . The clock on the walls catching up with me so I don't get out much. But seeing Billy strings just brings back a whole bunch of memories great times great music love you thanks a lot blessed be
Didn’t make it to Bonnaroo this year but Hulu was streaming it live and on one channel I turned it on and Chvches was playing and I went “Eh” but the other channel had Billy Strings playing and I went “These boys making real music!”
I mean...I love Chvrches and wanted to see their finish (missed the first few songs due to Superjam nearby but heard a bit) but glad I saw most of Billy too so... alright I guess
I was recently turned on to Billy's playing, and Ive got to say, I don't mind not hearing him in terms of genre, or anything else, he's just a damn good player, straight up, whatever the flavour :) p.s. and a foot note, highly psychedelic grooves ensue......

And to think Tool had to follow these guys....i wonder if they were a letdown after this set. Thanks for uploading....hope more videos get uploaded. Looked like an awesome set.
I'm sure Tool did juuust fine. Both are great acts capable of melting faces live in their on unique way. But cmon, Tool is the mainstage headliner for a reason.
@@j5imz352 Funny, i'm in an argument with a coupla guys in the comments section of a Tool video... They all concur Tool blew away Billy and the fellas, and are superior in every way. I can't know because i wasn't there, but i think i'd lay my $$$ on Billy......
@@soitgoes82 Try telling that to a coupla Tool fans i'm bickering with under a Tool video from that night. They all concur Tool blew away Billy and the band, and are superior in every way. I can't know because i wasn't there, but i think i'd lay my $ on Billy......
We were lucky to be present on Saturday night at the Ryman. I've been to hundreds of shows over five different decades and I've never seen a..scratch that...experienced anything like that. It was like the whole place had the same vibe. This music touches my heart and my feet. I'm gonna dance on his stage one day.
Most guitars have a sound and tone and tell the guitarist "I sound like this". When Billie picks up a guitar it says "what sound do you want me to make". Seriously, it was so strange listening to that tone come out of that guitar during the solo, it's just not what you'd expect.

@@paullevine1813 , I get it. I grew up in the classic rock era. Still respect it but partial to acoustic guitar probably cause I’m winding down due to my age and also in admiration for Billy’s innovative style and what he’s able to do with the tools he has and making his acoustics sound like an electric. That’s what I’m saying here.
Very good, if I gave some constructive criticism it would be to make Billys solos more coherent. They are pretty good but sometimes dont make the most sense
I like to think the guy in the green shirt with the backpack was in attendance. Rumor has it he’s still trying to give you a side quest.
Hahaha fuck yes
Who was that guy
I heard he also hasn’t figured out that the cigarette isn’t lit yet
So very much needed please never stop keep on keeping on BMFS for life love Sunshine 🔆
Billy is the perfect musician to pass down these roots. Old roots but same ol heads. Love it
I absolutely love how they switch up and or add to the songs or change the tempo and seem to never play a song exactly the same. They just keep getting better and better I didn't think it was possible but they do it every show.🔥
Wonder what this is inspired by….
Gotta be the Dead
Kind of like a fine wine or some good shine.
Yeah so awesome! I saw them for the first time in March and they brought tears to my eyes!

Best show of the week!!!!!!
I hope at least some of those who didn’t come to see Billy recognize that they just witnessed greatness
My favorite recording of "Dust in a Baggy" is the video of him on a couch at a friends house from a few years back.
This set was so amazing. What a perfect opener for Bonnaroo.
Billy is so good he plays electric guitar on the acoustic guitar
Thanks for posting. I had to stay home this year and eat the cost of my ticket due to knee issues. These videos are much appreciated.
All jam bands into (1) super Jam Band !!
His songs are like a good recipe, the core is always there, but it’s never the same twice, love it, keep picking brother
ww und ich
I hope that's a joint and not a cigarette, gaddammit. Fantastic camera work. Thanks for posting!
I’ve never seen billy in person only on tv & here, man that fella can eat a guitar up & very talented musician & singer
Billy Bonnaroo 🐐
Maybe he'll headline next year?
Oh man what a show
One of the sickest live performances I’ve seen in my life! Wish everyone could see this
@@Francisalbino39 will do, my friend just saw him perform with String Cheese and it looked so awesome
I was there in the pit, this show was amazing. And it makes me happy to know how many new people probably became fans after experiencing it.
If one kid found a reason to hope, it was a good show. If one got inspired to play, it was a good day. The Billy Strings Band are stable geniuses!
was in the pit line for Tool, and won't miss Billy, again. A true phenomenon
@@rickmooney6028 good thing is he tours almost non stop!

Nailed it 🤷🏼♂️👍
I remember seeing this guy a few years ago playing in someone's living room on RUclips, nice to see he's going places ❤❤❤👍👍👍
Where you been?
@Scott Perkins helping Elon Musk find a new tie 🤷🏼♂️
I would put down money that 75% of the people that listen to his stuff were introduced to him from that video.
Holy GOAT!
I'm a first-timer from farmfest . The clock on the walls catching up with me so I don't get out much. But seeing Billy strings just brings back a whole bunch of memories great times great music love you thanks a lot blessed be
kinda gotta go lookin' for these incredible gems from other flat pickers, but its like every video with this guy
Same him in Augusta GA in February.
Fantastic show. Also incredibly loud. They are all amazing.
That transition was so good. These boys just keep getting better and better
Can't wait to see them in Cary this week
Love me some a this! Bluegrass with Grateful Dead ethos.
Dude is awesome. Doesn't even break a sweat.
Man checks his watch during his guitar shred. Amazing skill and innovation. All the band is pure joy to listen to and watch.
So very very good for my soul love all you do you are amazing and you got it all an stirring it up as you get on down the road can't wait to be there
I've seen them multiple times, but never with a violinist.. this added so much.
Fiddle player 😂
Violinist 😭😭😭😭 this hurt more than it should’ve
Why does it hurt? Lol. They are the same instrument. Tomato toooomaaaatoo yall!
@@scottmcgrotalot7254 not the same. Gotta respect the bluegrass culture. It’s a fiddle!
Yesssss, what a way to open a g'damn Show! Best acoustic guitar playin' I've seen live.
Gotta love that shirt!
Billy strings ... blessed with skill like Jordan
Oh snap
Buena Vista can't get here any sooner. Gonna Be Fire
I went crazy in the crowd on that transition. ducking aweosme
Incredible.
the boys are on fire this summer!
That is down the road from me and I never go to it. Guess I need to some day
Amazing as usual.
These guys only get better with time.
Great string band, their drummer owe's me $20.
They absolutely murdered this set. Was so amazing 🥲
Billy’s repping the panic shirt on the 20th anniversary of Mikey’s last shows.Respect
Sorry for not knowing, but Mikey who?
I ain’t slept in… into a commercial. That’s awesome…
Hell yea
Am just blown away !
Thanks Doug great recording !
like I give a shit about some ad that pops up in the middle of this lol what a bunch of marketing genius
I’m gonna see if I can figure out how to turn off those mid video ads
This show was AMAZING live
We can only wonder what they'll have in store for Lolla... It'll be innersting to see what they serve up.
God he makes the guitar sound like a mando
You’re the man Doug
That's awesome I would love to see this dude live!
great camerawork!!! thank you for this! incredible
You had me looking around for camel toe.
They doin the thing
Incredible sound on this video. THanks for sharing!
Thanks for all the videos!
Just awesome! I would like to 'ship' Billy Stings & Molly Tuttle - think they'd make a great couple!
Woah love the live fiddle!
I missed this set, thanks for sharing. Happy Roo !
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
That's wild most would leave their biggest hit for the finale!
Lol all of Billy's songs are his biggest hits
@@nicholasmehler9662 fair point!
There's no hits,in the jam band world.lol...

Yup, not sure how many incarnations of great guitar players are in this guy but it’s more than one for sure.
Absolutely brilliant
With the help of social media, his band will have more followers than The Dead within just a few years.

Pleasure of seeing this guy at a private party some years ago
Mad to see the soul completely stripped fro, it.
Hope I will hear him sang this in Person one day! Damn, If He can't play that thing!! Amazing!!

Hey this kids pretty good. He should like get a record deal or something.
Sounds dam near electric ⚡
This guy f’ing SLAYS his guitar, it seems like on this night he had a little difficulty finding his flow

Indy bound!
Am I the only one that hears Van Zant in the first 30 seconds here? "One more from the road"
I love how there are mainly men screaming their lungs out.
Billy is my tweaker friend!

Seriously, it was so strange listening to that tone come out of that guitar during the solo, it's just not what you'd expect.
Billy Strings is not of this Earth. He has come from a realm far more kindly civilized, than ours.
He does have a pedalboard he uses for stuff like that too, that alters the sound a lot.
@@mummer7337 I did not know that. That is Jizmazing.
@@Hanzyscure Where do you think he gets his Fuzz tone from , he's got quite the Pedalboard he uses.
Distortion on an acoustic..nice
Shit when did they pick up the fiddle player!? Good shit

This life of sin has got me in
Well, it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got 20 long years for some dust in a baggie
Sometimes, I sit and wonder where my little life went wrong
These old jailhouse blues have got me singing this old song
My life is a disaster, Lord and I feel so ashamed
In here where they call me by a number, not a name
This life of sin has got me in
Well, it's got me back in prison once again

they will throw it down at the peach!
Who needs a heavy electric guitar? Put it all on the floor. Works great, sounds great!!
Talent is key and The BS band is top notch!!
The BS Band. I love it! The BS Band is the shitt. Top notch shith.
What do think Billy does when he's not picking that acoustic. He's a badass heavy guitarist as well. We need both & so does he.

Does anybody else find the lights behind the band distracting?
They should of had Billy play the role of Elvis in the new "Elvis" movie....
