Well, as a UK fan of Billy (& Co's) startlingly proficient playing anyway, I am BLOWN AWAY by this generous & musical upload. As a 56 yr old, I've had my favourite guitarists' -but YOU, Billy Strings, are NOW My favourite. I never even knew I might be into Bluegrass, but your band is chosen to perfection. Another testament to your acute musical intuition. .. So, BIG and Well deserved -and V.Rare compliments to you, and your expertly chosen fellow musicians. Thank you from my heart, Billy Strings. Respect.
LISTENING for FIFTH TIME, LIKE NEW EVERYDAY. TRULY LOVE Y'ALL. BLESSINGS, HEALTH AND ABUNDANCE TO YOU ALL.LOVE MICHAEL CLEVELAND 🎻 MY GOD WHAT A FLOWER OF LIFE 🔆33🔆
this is one of the best RUclips videos I have ever seen. Michael Cleveland is All Time. This Pyramid Country is the best version of that song I've ever heard. Bravo all of you!
I thought I would just check out a couple minutes of this but wasn't in the mood to watch all of it. 51 minutes later and I am in a much better mood now.

I have listened to lots of music and lots of musicians in my 65 years across all genres, and I gotta say that Billy and his band , including Mr. Cleveland are simply brilliant. These 5 young men are all geniuses and it shows in any and everything they play. I’m just blown away by all the available music from these five guys, either together or on there own. Thanks very much for the tunes. I have to add that Michael Cleveland is probably the best bluegrass fiddle player I have ever heard .
Away from the Mire, suh a beautiful tune. It was a pleasure seeing Billy and the band at Blue Ox 2017. Michael Cleveland in 2019 at Moondance, before the big storm.
Nice one for putting up yet another great live performance but even more so for adding some backstage footage and rehearsals....much love to you and all of your crew...I'm just gonna sit back and load my volcano and listen to the rest of this great show...stay safe...x Edit......That Pyramid Country jam is fucking great...👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌
Hi Billy! I think it would be super cool if you would print bandannas with your latest logo or graphics for sale. We could use them for our non N95 face-masks and it would be great advertising. You know things are bad when you compliment someone on their super cool face cover. People use bandannas a lot anyway. This is a great idea, please do it!
Thanks for doing this Billy. I couldn’t attend these shows. But I was listening. Some of my favorite shows were Lexington and Louisville. I can not wait till Detroit!!
Billy Strings and band: awesome! With Michael Cleveland: even more awesome!! Some of the best music I've ever heard, thanks so much for posting; Love you guys.
Billy...think about this...back in the day genius artists used to travel around with portable tape decks always searching for tape...love the backstage footage..
BoiseG -I bet that if he wanted to be full time he could be. Many artist have two bands they front. Best fiddle player in the American blues, bluegrass rock business.
Me too! I don't think I've seen him with a Dobro player, but I think that would be pretty good too. The Petersens have a really good guy on Dobro (Emmett Franz), so he'd be my first choice.
Jorden M So stoked to listen in, just came across you a couple months ago.. I’ve been in awe. You’re so captivating and raw, seeing the way you feel the music as you play, and hearing what you can do.. man, oh man. I would love to see you live sometime soon. Much adoration for ya, please never cease doing what you love!
I was at this show and I can tell you it only get better when you see him live ...so when this whole lockdown thing is over go to some of his shows...best part is you can go to all of them and no see the same show !
When you see a Billy Strings show, he pours out his heart in song and words, and you come away feeling like you KNOW him, personally. Because in fact you do, actually.
@Dan Racek Oh man, I believe you! I can’t even imagine how it feels.. I bet it’s such a pure, soulful feeling hearing/seeing him live in person rather than through a screen, although I’ll take what I can get right now haha! What a legend.. kinda reminds me of the Grateful Dead, live shows were always different, but usually way better or perhaps more intricate than the studio recordings. You’re a lucky man haha!
@Greg’s Videos I don’t doubt you at all, I bet he’s so much more fascinating in person.. I’d love to just kick back with him, have a drink or two. Even seeing him in a ginormous crowd would be nice.. Such a stand up dude, also a literal genius. I’ve been in love with him since I heard dust in a baggie for the first time.. Suuuuper stuck on his rendition of Don’t think twice right now.. brings a tear to my eye. Caaant get enough!!!
Dust in a Baggie was in my recommended feed a couple months ago and it's been one hell of a ride ever since. I'm a southern boy at heart and country/bluegrass is no stranger to me, but Billy to me is a generational talent. I've been a huge fan and will continue to be as long as this young man is making wonderful music. What a talent!!
This is so cool!!! Love the soundcheck footage and behind the scenes stuff. Sending Much Love to you all! Stay safe and best of luck during the Streaming Strings tour! Looking forward to it.
#BILLYSTRINGS, no I don't think you got lucky, I think you made your own luck. Hard work, & driven to bring the the much needed change in the music industry. I'm a new fan from Alabama, and I can assure you that RUclips did a fk ton of get'n you out there to us. My hubs came home and said... "Listen to this guy, best picker ever"! I listened and of course it was "dust in a baggie" and I was hooked. I can totally relate to that one. Please consider coming to Birmingham Alabama ALABAMA THEATER OR BJCC? I BELIEVE YOU'D PACK THE HOUSE/SELL OUT!! LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU AND CAN'T WAIT TO CATCH A CONCERT! ❤️🇺🇸❤️🎻🪕🎸❤️🇺🇸❤️
Was supposed to have seen him tonight at Clyde theater for my bday! Man I bought them tix at Christmas time. Rescheduled til july. Does Billy ever replay to these? If so what electric accoustic guitar do you recommend under 500?
Damn man all of these guys shows are sold out! Good job but damn. Also gotta say Michael Cleveland was the missing piece for this group. They should consider try to get him to join the group permanently
If Frank Zappa was still around, he’d want to have played with Michael. That’s how good Michael is Zappa only picked the best. Michael is way better than Jean luc ponti and SugarCane Harris
Yeah, I hear you. I hate to complain but there have been videos with a bit more expertise put into the sound recording and balancing. But..... it was still a fantastic performance.
I think billy sold his soul to the devil, but not to be able to play good I think he’s always been able to do that i think it was to ha e wind constantly blowing in his hair and his hair only
Salt of the earth you are Billy, unbelievable musician and human being. Michael Cleveland is beautiful in everyway. Thank You All🔥❣️🔥
Simply the best brother! I love you Billy Strings Barber & Michael Cleveland 🎶

Best Mandolin in the business. Psychedelic bluejazz. Bravo!

I can’t belive 3 people gave this a thumbs down. This was outstanding!
Haters are gonna hate...
💝IM IN LOVE WITH MICHAEL CLEVELAND, THANK YOU BILLY STRINGS AGAPE BROTHER, CRYSTAL LIQUID LIGHT BEING❣️⚡✨🎼
It just gets better and better! Thank you for the hours of joy in your entertainment.
hope to see you over here in the UK next year billy
Having seen Billy Strings live a few times, and Michael Cleveland once, I'm sure not gonna miss this.
im so jealous. never seen them play live
I'm glad you guys got this on video and I'm also honored to have been there to witness this amazing show !
We say it all the time: “Thank God for Billy Strings!” ...Fuckinay! ❤️💛💚
Incredible. Probably the best Pyramid Country I ever did hear. Thank you Billy and thank you Michael
I'm so happy to see these two masters playing together.
Way proud of you Mr. Billy Strings. I can't wait for the chance to jam with y'all.
I can't like this enough. One of the best videos out there WOW
Thanks for doing this Billy. I couldn’t attend these shows. But I was listening. Some of my favorite shows were Lexington and Louisville. I can not wait till Detroit!!
Billy Strings and band: awesome! With Michael Cleveland: even more awesome!! Some of the best music I've ever heard, thanks so much for posting; Love you guys.
Billy...think about this...back in the day genius artists used to travel around with portable tape decks always searching for tape...love the backstage footage..
What's this...? Oh, just some more killer tunes from Billy Strings! Keep up the good work son! 👊🏽
Really adds a wonderful layer to the bands sound.
Damn right! He should join Billy's band.
DAYAM! That was soooo good.
Are they ever tight, wow.
Love the addition of a fiddle to the band. Too bad Michael can't join full time!
BoiseG -I bet that if he wanted to be full time he could be. Many artist have two bands they front. Best fiddle player in the American blues, bluegrass rock business.
I really enjoy Billy Strings music with a fiddle accompaniment! ☮️
Me too! I don't think I've seen him with a Dobro player, but I think that would be pretty good too. The Petersens have a really good guy on Dobro (Emmett Franz), so he'd be my first choice.
Wow !
Very tight group, which I appreciate.
Stoked, can't wait to see this.
Wow...nice concert...wish I was there......Thanks for posting...made my work day so much better.....
Can't wait..!
Come to Australia man. When you can tour obviously..

Everybody in the front row singin` along. How cool is that?
Ultimate jam at 32:10
That was my favorite part too. Michael really shines here (you can hear him much better).
Well I knew Billy was good, but this shit is next level. How did anyone survive the show without their faces being melted on the spot?
The Mahavishnu Orchestra of BLUEGRASS... :) Dig It!!
This is so cool!!! Love the soundcheck footage and behind the scenes stuff. Sending Much Love to you all! Stay safe and best of luck during the Streaming Strings tour! Looking forward to it.
You never disappoint and show what real music sounds like. Keep it up man!

Hope to meet you one day man
Mm mm mm mmm mm! 😋🔥🎉
Nice
Damn man all of these guys shows are sold out! Good job but damn.
Also gotta say Michael Cleveland was the missing piece for this group. They should consider try to get him to join the group permanently
I sure would love to hear Mead Fiddleman Richter (of the Cleverlys) add fiddle to Billy's incredible tunes.
Let me guess. Billy uses 13 gauge strings?
man you fucking rock
Hi please what's the name of the first song they play live?
Away From the Mire, track 4 on Home.
BANDANNA"S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make bluegrass essential again!
If Frank Zappa was still around, he’d want to have played with Michael. That’s how good Michael is Zappa only picked the best. Michael is way better than Jean luc ponti and SugarCane Harris
Fantastic concert. Vocals seem a bit muffled in this recording.
Yeah, I hear you. I hate to complain but there have been videos with a bit more expertise put into the sound recording and balancing. But..... it was still a fantastic performance.
21:28 lol
Billy I know people change and so does their music. But please please please don't stop playing bluegrass.
Oops, had 333 likes till I showed up.
I think billy sold his soul to the devil, but not to be able to play good I think he’s always been able to do that i think it was to ha e wind constantly blowing in his hair and his hair only
Huh?
Do not blaspheme
It’s a fan
I agree
wish they'd have Beeber & Myley in on the jam for some true talent... 🐈
Headliners is my least favorite local venue. I want to see you so bad, though!
