- Billy Strings - Help on the Way/Slipknot!/Franklin's Tower (Grateful Dead cover) - The Fillmore, Detroit, Michigan - 11/21/2021
Paradise waits for a "well behaved" Detroit crowd, largely adorned in Grateful Dead t-shirts, who are rewarded late in the second set of the second show at this stunning venue with a long time crowd pleaser to close this ambitious leg of the 2021 tour. The crossover of Deadheads into Strings fans happened long before the successful "Billy and The Kids" lineup this past year. Bob Weir was asked before the 2019 Dead & Company NYE show how he defined a "Deadhead." He responded just exactly perfect along the lines of, "a Deadhead is someone who craves a sense of adventure, and we offer that to them musically." Much like the Dead, Billy Strings unquestionably quenches an adventurous thirst by stretching the boundaries of his musical roots into a Bluegrass/Rock/Psychedelic fusion dosed with Jazz like improvisational jams, shattering the traditional rigid barriers of the Bluegrass genre. He reminds me much of young Jerry Garcia in the sense that, despite his youth, Strings breathes a sense of soulfulness into every song that is beyond his years and he holds a rare talent that will foreseeably land him among the legends of the guitar.

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 ✊🏽🙌
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!!! ????
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!
I really miss these Dead covers … bring em back please!
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.
Nobody, Nobody can play Jerry Garcia like this man! Mr. Garcia would be so proud!
You made an old deadhead cry..great job😂
Props to the bass player for working Led Zeppelin's Ramblin On into Franklin's Tower.
@ 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.
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 😁
I so love him and band of Strings. Rock our world 💚👁️💚🍀🕺🎸🎶🎻🛣️🎵🎤🎵🌄✴️🎸🎶🎻
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.
and a Blue Sky nod just before (and after) that . . .
Damn,That’s a great description of Billy in the title description. You hit it bang on👍👍👍
Billy Strings Live or Dead; is fantastic fun!
One big smile and tears of joy
13:19 - teasing DMB "Jimi Thing" - love that! Great medley :)
BMFS kills it every time! Nothing else to say
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.
Ohh, how cool! Putting their stamp on it too. The slip into Slipknot? Oh, slow it down will ya? Then, oh jam … just great, LOVE IT ❤
Would like to see Billy do little wing again
Psychedelic bluegrass for real
Well said my friend
Bless the algorithm
holy shit this fucking rips
kudos for this recording. what a show
Look forward to seeing you in memphis!
History has been made and rewritten!
Great!
How about a Les Ler Shiner Billy comp with Paolo Herb and Jayski on drums
So nice.
Bela and Billy?!? Billy covering bela!!!!
Damn well done!!! Not an easy song to play either!
This is so good
There was some Lou Reed in that mix :)
Good Lawd !!
Hittem with the Melters
