im 65 yrs old from vancouver bc canada... in the first minute of this YT vid... i sobbed with joy to see youse young fellas play the REAL MUSIC... i was holy rollin in my emotion... ive recovered now...whew...thank ye boys!
I’m about the same age from California Mountains and this ole gal is just so happy to see and hear these most incredible musicians , thanks guys :) I found The Dead South a while ago and they are fab as well .
Billy is good, but I don't understand this big push he is getting right now. I've definitely heard better singers and pickers but for some reason they don't get the attention. Must be his silly glasses.
As always Billy and the band are amazing but can we just appreciate for one moment how great of a job the sound guy did! Most of these outdoor festivals sound like they were recorded on a flip phone lol.
anyone else just become bluegrass fans in the last 3 hours? lmao. Not only that, no matter what kind of music you prefer - you can still appreciate how fucking talented each and every one of these band members are. Reaching master status at your craft before 50 is a feat in its own lol. Anyway, just want to express my gratitude for the amount of talent i keep witnessing.
I know! Right? I hit like then dislike on your comment, just for grins but it wouldn'tve even SHOWN let alone tell ya who thunk they was so funny so I changed it back to a like that'd at least show up. ;)

I don’t know how many times I watch this. I absolutely love this show. The whole playing is cool and Billy has strong yet beautiful voice. It’s sad I’m not living in US
I love that he frequently plays Grateful Dead tunes and he's taking a page out of their book which is genius, he rotates his songs and doesn't play the same setlists twice. This makes his fans want to collect individual shows just like Deadheads do...and Jerry Garcia would've LOVED him! but who wouldn't ...unless you don't like balls to the wall mega talent, and this whole band is a top notch Bluegrass unit...
I'm a deadhead with over 200 dead shows and I couldn't agree more. Going to my first Billy strings show next month at the capital theater, how appropriate.
Of course Jerry (briefly) headed one of the best bluegrass bands ever Old and In The Way, featuring Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements and David Grisman. Check out their clips here on youtube. It was just a hobby band but given the talent involved it had to be awesome.
@@jeffgaumond4250 I started see the Grateful Dead and Jerry Band in the 90s so I know Old & In The Way well, got the live album in the 90s. A different bluegrass band w' Jerry The Hart Valley Drifters came out with an album a few yrs ago, it's great too. Everything Jerry was involved with was amazing...
I agree. I am blewn away. I am a musician myself but have not had inspiration for years due to how much the music industry sucks. I am starting to get inspired again. Billy Strings is more than bluegrass. Bluegrass isn't even the music i usually enjoy listening to. What is happening. He is something else than everything out there. I wish i fiund his music earlier but i am glad i found it today.
@@saymyname5933 Exactly! About 1/2 way through when he did that sick fusion including all those minor chords I was blown away. I haven't heard anything so exciting in 30 years!
@UnholyUndies Billy was the guitarist for a metal band when he was in high school. He's also mentioned Sabbath, Hendrix and several other rockers as influences. P[>
I used to make fun of bluegrass too but now when I hear to top 40 pop or similar modern music I can't help but think about how wrong I was. It's still not necessarily my cup of tea but I know when I hear good musicians playing music and this is so much better than the vast majority of mainstream artists today.
Good. Some of us grew up around it as a family tradition. People like you and this other comment made people like me suicidal at some times. Especially when it's almost every person you meet. It adds together with other things that dissolves your self esteem over time. Now that you were humbled, don't do it again. Just realize that Billy is a symbol of our type of tradition being brought back to life by one that stayed with what he knew and said fuck everybody else.
I love him so much, I love how all 4 members are so different, the bass ayer looking like he is dirty dancing with his bass is one of my fave , banjo Billy is seriously the shit tho!
I just want to let you know that a year later you just had some mom cackle hard in the kitchen reading your comment. It’s so true. Just went and saw Billy Strings last week with my 69 year old dad and we were on the side with him and that’s exactly what it looked like.
Everything about these guys is nothing short of legendary. You guys are the next best thing since the Grateful Dead. Each song was performed flawlessly. Timing is perfect. And each member threw down some serious turnarounds. Face melting bluegrass. The legend quartet.
I love the dead. No one will ever come before them. But 9/10 nights they couldn’t dream of playing this clean. For as amazing as the dead are, can’t say they were flawless. Billy’s as close as it gets.
I do see a lot of comments in this thread referring to how much this band sounds like the Grateful Dead… I totally hear that, there’s some really great epic band moments in this set. I am also reminded a lot of the way Frank Zappa ran his bands; super tight, extraordinarily talented and some unreal communication on stage. Musicianship at another level.
Absolutely nailed Midnight Rider. Wow! On my drive home from the office, I was so inspired listening to this that I cut my $50 Dockers pants off into shorts...lol. Great performance.
Ya Think??Bingeing on him and he does nothing twice, that was first I heard such a growl in nailing Ole Midnight Rider. Other concert ,you can imitate "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones but not change it to make it your own. So I thought as Billy started it....guess no one ever told Billy that, he friggin stole it.
I'm 68 and I grew up listening & singing along with & dancing to the great bands and musicians of the 50's, 60's, and 70's; and especially to the great jamming sessions ( psychedelic if you want to call it that...and that's okay by me ! ) , but what I just heard from Billy Strings and the other musicians here is every bit as good and probably even better in some ways, to those fantastic jamming sessions from those earlier years !! It was incredible..WOW..WOW..!!!
There are people on the earth now that have never seen people dance sing together free and happy. - boy I miss the energy of being one with strangers becoming friends sharing an experience.
Unbelievable......I have no choice now....I'm a bluegrass fan....for those of you who don't play guitar...this kid picks ever note....remember his name cause you will see he in all the Hall of Fame ...................Billy Strings
Billy has brought me back to string music. Honestly he's brought me back to music all together. Looking forward to him becoming a LEGEND that generations will speak about. I know this with 100% certainty as his sound and pure talent blow other LEGENDS out of the water.
Hats off to the production people. These guys played their butts off in sweltering heat. Sound quality and camera work was great for a live outdoor performance. Thank you for this gem of a video.
people you're watching the making of a legend....the man and the band....in my 50+ years around music Ive never witnessed this type diversity, this type ability, this kinda passion......call it BS if you want.....l'll call it Billy Strings.
I don't really care for country but these guys blow me away and I don't understand how Billy and his Band aren't talked about at the water coolers every day. Move over everyone, these guys are numero uno.
Been watching a lot of Strings' performances lately, and I think ROMP 2018 is probably my favorite show I've seen on RUclips. Maybe if I saw him live, I'd have a different opinion. But I love this one specifically
I tried to subscribe , but , got a message that says I have too many subscriptions !!!! I listen to this great Billy Strings video every morning !!!! IT'S my wake up and take on the WORLD music !!!! Bluegrass gets my motor running !!!! Makes me feel like brewing up some "compost" tea!!!! Get busy "living" , or get busy "dying" !!!! A day without COUNTRY, is like a day without SUNSHINE !!!!
this isnt meant as a joke im being serious, but i feel so much for those without hearing who will never get to hear such an alive and toe tapping head bobbing sound, im british so this sort of music isnt my blood but i cant help but love it, and people like this are doing a great job of keeping it fresh and alive
Grateful Dead started as a Country/Blue Grass type band. I like the adventurous road these lads are heading down. It ain’t Bill Monroe, but I love the legit Blue Grass chops, and I love the dynamics they are putting in, up there. Respect
I love the music and I think you all are amazing... Mr. Strings , please, oh please come to Tulsa, ok... I'd love to see you in person. I know it would be one hell of a show. 💜✌️💜
Billy Strings and also Daddy Strings are the best the band members are all ausem just started listing to bluegrass I dont think it gets better then this thank you ....Roland from Magdalena New Mexico usa
To hear Billy Strings play with Dave Matthews, Tim Reynolds, and the spirit of John Denver would be amazing. I can imagine what it would be like in my head. Phukinfantastic!!!!
filmed w musicians in mind and cameras are actually showing ea persons licks and great sound...billy is so innovative like the greats before him ...i love bluegrass outside the box...and in the grateful deads influence is obvious
Attitude and expertise always a winning combination. Takes me back to my 60’s days when the music was exciting. I hope to get the cd I ordered last week on Tuesday. I’ve been busy telling everyone I know how good these guys are. They came up as I was testing my playlist for my current project Celtic Tiger - my autobiography in music. Be well, take care & keep on rocking.
I’ve had the lick from 47:30, particularly the bass line, stick in my head all day and I finally remembered it was from this set. So glad I found it! Ear worms are fun 😄
It’s pretty cool to be in my time with a musical unicorn in his prime. Being my ages I always feel like I missed out on all the greats a lot of the time.
Growing up in the nineties was great. However, when looking back at the 70's music scene I always felt that I missed out on the best that ever was. Billy, bluegrass, jam and the new revival of amazing music has been awesome. We lucky.🤘
I had a dream. Bluegrass music uniting us all . Everyone that listens to Billy and his splendid band no matter what color or social status loves these guys and usually bluegrass in general. This brings us all together. Metal Heads, Country, Jam Bands you name it all the love. Real music done by stellar musicians.
I watched a Michael Palmisano vid appreciating Billy and he explained how you need to understand how everyone shares distributed percussion in bluegrass. It raised my enjoyment of this wonderful genre. Definitely a banjo tabla in there! Love the communications. All four just top notch. Great sound and filming too. Thankyou. Been wearing out the Austin vid. This will take over. I keep playing their Loser and Wharf Rat vids too. Can't listen much to anyone else at the moment. Legend in the making.
Thanks billy never smoked a marywane but after listening to you i think ill take it up. And im 98 good stuff. Made me wanna take my shirt off and expose my breast .But the wife wouldnt let me

TY!
As amazing as Billy is, he's in damn good company - each band member is an absolute monster on their axe. A truly amazing unit!
for sure... I wouldn't expect anything less though. In a way, Billy needs them as much, if not more, than they need him.
i agree, i'm blown away by all of them especially Mando Guy
Couldn't have said it any better.
Necrotic Prolapse Jarrod Walker is the name
Billy is good, but I don't understand this big push he is getting right now. I've definitely heard better singers and pickers but for some reason they don't get the attention. Must be his silly glasses.
Who would have ever thought it? Psychedelic bluegrass? It’s perfect for us 50-year-olds!
...and us 20 year-olds!
Jerry Garcia
Don’t count us young lads out! 22 here
Newgrass Revival...Leftover salmon...string cheese incident...just saying
Don't forget 40 somethings
As always Billy and the band are amazing but can we just appreciate for one moment how great of a job the sound guy did! Most of these outdoor festivals sound like they were recorded on a flip phone lol.
Whoever the producer/sound guy is of this is a fucking legend
Thinking exact same thing
Yes! 🙏❤️
as a sound guy myself, i totally agree.
Weird you say that. I'd rather listen to this than the album versions... Well produced raw sounds.
anyone else just become bluegrass fans in the last 3 hours? lmao. Not only that, no matter what kind of music you prefer - you can still appreciate how fucking talented each and every one of these band members are. Reaching master status at your craft before 50 is a feat in its own lol. Anyway, just want to express my gratitude for the amount of talent i keep witnessing.

Just up the road from the birthplace of Bluegrass music. Priceless.

Binge watching Billy Strings❤️
It’s easy to do, but this concert is my fave…

I love how his banjo player always looks like hes making a grocery list in his head while hes playing lol
Billy Failing's facial expressions while playing are great, he always looks so preoccupied.
I could never put my finger on what that look was all about but now I think you're right that is funny as hell
These comments are priceless! Love these guys!!!!!!

Has anyone mentioned how hilarious those sunglasses are that Billy is wearing! Awesomeness at its peak!
This is what pure , raw musical talent looks and sounds like folks! All 4 of these guys are brilliant musicians! Doesn't get any better!
I concur with your conclusion!
They play so well off of each other, too. Makes me almost think they're controlled by the same brain somehow
What amazes me is his repertoire seems endless. I've been checking out his solo videos on RUclips. He just amazes me .
I'm just gonna watch this again.
The shades made it even better somehow 😎

Saw him in Dallas and they killed it of course but this set list is awesome. That said, this years Dallas show was a 👌

Finally , Billy’s soundman got the Mandolin mixed so I can hear it. Incredible picker. Outstanding blend for live performance .
Yes, for sure but we could use a touch more banjo
