    Been watching Billy for 8 years now. Have literally watched him grow and grow up. Have seen him in clubs with only a handful of people and have seen him in big venues. Saw him down in Manteo once when his band complained about doing an encore (they needed to hit the road for their next show-in Ohio I think). He told them to go, go on. I’ll do the encore by myself. He blew us away! Real musicianship, my friends!

    • @STSGuitar16
      @STSGuitar16 2 года назад

      @@growmiezhomiez8760 bobby has certainly lost a ton of his technical prowess on guitar at this point. Bobby himself has a big and dedicated following because of who he is, but probably the biggest factor in the success of Dead and Co has been John Mayer. Mayer, Jeff, and Oteil actually get into some really incredible jams in DandC, but yeah, Bobby is probably the weakest link in that lineup. Slow & Co. And this isn't meant to be a knock at Bobby at all; I absolutely cherish that man and his incredible playing throughout the years, and have even really worked to try to model my own rhythm guitar playing after what he was doing in the 60s and 70s. He is one of my favorite guitarists ever and wrote many of the greatest Dead songs, but he has certainly lost a step or two over the year (through no fault of his own at all). And you're right, many songs like this don't need to "breathe;" they need to rock. They brought that energy to this performance.
