I noticed that Billy get's very excited when other players start shredding, that's when he gets into the zone, closes hiseyes and goes improv like no other. One of a kind this lad
When you watch something that is this caliber of musician and there's people that give it a thumbs down you know those people are either extremely jealous or know nothing about music.. LOL
There is no thumbs down for virtuosos unless you're not hip to the style of music! SHAME! "The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open"-Frank Zappa
this is just the absolute best on so many levels, Dons mandolin playing is beyond perfect, this is one of the few times I have watched a mandolin playing so into to the tune there were points it was so alive it was almost flying out of Dons hands.......pure magic
It's a dueling thing. These guys were called from the universe and have no limits on stringed instruments. Very little rehearsal. They just go with it.
Yeah.... played this like 100 times... but gotta keep comin' back and ride this train. Just love the build in Julin's mando solo... among the best i've heard, with Billy layin' down string-steel rails.
@@baseballmichaeljordanmcdonalds Yep Sam, among the best... ev-ah! When I first heard it, I thought Billy's solo was the pinnacle... until the hand-off to Don, and yeah, it just flew up to the stratosphere.
@@KennethWilliamElkington it's so smooth too. You can tell they really connect as musicians. It's cool to see two dudes that far apart in age connect on this level. No offense Don.
One of thee very best Bluegrass tunes ever recorded and especially by these 2 who were obviously meant to play together! Mucho Mahalo Brothers! Never looked up Don's jazz guitar playing but prefer mandolin anyway! BTW, love that your Buddy faked a gibson f-style!😂👍🎶❤️🤙
Sounds GREAT! Wish the cameras wouldn't try to make it "fancy" with the constant switching. Unlike most music these days, this is exciting already. No need to switch the cameras constantly to keep the audience interested. Beautiful playing. Thanks for sharing!
I bet those boys missed the live audience vibe - here's a playlist with some full live concerts to show you what I mean - ruclips.net/p/PLnKQNLNf4RmoNxit8i8sEKsOqkNUoXTLQ
I am going to see Billy at the Telluride Bluegrass festival this summer . . .I double dare him to hold that note at 10,000 feet and not pass out. . .Good luck Billy!. . LOL
Billy was in metal band maybe was at this time ... bluegrass is high energy like metal ... he’s quite a talent ... 2014. Now 2019 he’s well on his way he wore out that guitar there’s video shows him getting new one he’s worked hard . I’m big fan Play on Billy
Wow .. Right on Billy .. Thought i could play guitar after 43 of playing my Martin.. I better go practice some more keep up with you Guys,, Lol .. Keep good music coming Guys,, Thumbs up
A stunning musical performance nearly ruined by hyperactive video editing. Seriously, folks--it's OKAY to linger on a camera angle for more than 0.67 seconds!
***** I'm sorry for the overly-harsh criticism. I realize fast-cut editing is okay with most people. And I forgot to mention that the audio production is excellent.
Not overly harsh at all. After the first minute I scrolled away from the screen so I could just listen to the music without the visual sensory overload getting in the way of my enjoyment.
God fucking damnit. I started learning bluegrass listening to Billy but I doubt I will ever reach his ability! I'm trying his version of Brown's Ferry Blues which I'm going to upload soon but damn.... He is a fucking genius I can't contain my excitement after watching this performance
Buil Dinit , who are we to judge this young man can pick like no one I’ve heard in a long time if ever ! Besides that’s profiling based on his bluegrass religion ! It will save your soul ! 😎
Well. There go. None better than these two.
get you someone that looks at you the way billy looks at don
I noticed that Billy get's very excited when other players start shredding, that's when he gets into the zone, closes hiseyes and goes improv like no other. One of a kind this lad
HOT DAMN!!!
Thats BAD ASS!
When you watch something that is this caliber of musician and there's people that give it a thumbs down you know those people are either extremely jealous or know nothing about music.. LOL
43 absolute f***wits, so far!
or they're just trumpists. shit's just shit.
There is no thumbs down for virtuosos unless you're not hip to the style of music! SHAME! "The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open"-Frank Zappa
I listen to this just about everyday. What can one say? They’re both so good , it almost is impossible what they do
Don went so hard on this one.
Dang! That was good.
Little Maggie is blushing as Bad as she was listening to this bad Ass rendition… Effing perfect and bad ass in every way🥲👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Can’t get over how good they are. Highest form of music
this is just the absolute best on so many levels, Dons mandolin playing is beyond perfect, this is one of the few times I have watched a mandolin playing so into to the tune there were points it was so alive it was almost flying out of Dons hands.......pure magic
No comment
This song is absolutely nuts. Gives me the chills! Every once in awhile you see Bill or Don looking up at each other with that smirk.....
It's a dueling thing. These guys were called from the universe and have no limits on stringed instruments. Very little rehearsal. They just go with it.
These guys don’t just play… they are this music. Thank you.
As good as it gets
Don Julin 🔥
This is the best bluegrass I've heard in years. Raw and authentic, but played and sung with virtuosity and unreal intensity. I am blown away....!
Absolute fire 🔥
Yeah.... played this like 100 times... but gotta keep comin' back and ride this train. Just love the build in Julin's mando solo... among the best i've heard, with Billy layin' down string-steel rails.
That mandolin solo is absolutely insane. I've never heard anything like it.

@@baseballmichaeljordanmcdonalds Indeed Sam, quite a "special" connection... in the ethereal realm of music.
Yeah and gotta love he's playin a mandolin his buddy built, notta gibson!....
My favourite Billy & Don performance. Raw unadulterated Bluegrass at its best.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They shine the most when they play together
I met Billy together with Don. To me they'll always be a duo.
Wow.
Insane
Never seen anything like him. Love him.
Just the best Little Maggie... um, ever. Billy the Incredible and Dapper Don, just killed! Buckle up kids, and ride this Sonic Tsunami!
One of thee very best Bluegrass tunes ever recorded and especially by these 2 who were obviously meant to play together! Mucho Mahalo Brothers! Never looked up Don's jazz guitar playing but prefer mandolin anyway! BTW, love that your Buddy faked a gibson f-style!😂👍🎶❤️🤙
Saw these two, and their base player, at Cafe Lena a few years ago. Never heard better, Don's playing is outstanding.
Imagine Don was a jazz guitar player. So glad he's playin mandolin....and love that his buddy faked a gibson f-style mandolin!
👍😂🤙❤️
Legend has it they had to call the fire department before recording started just to have them on stand by in case these two burned down the place.
😂
still wish you all were still together...I miss the old Billy
Doesn't get old. These two are the REAL deal.
Don is so damn good, and billy is unreal!
This song gives me goosebumps.
FREAKIN AWESOME !
This is the best clip of them together... so killer.
I've never wanted to party so hard to folk music in my life
Awesome
holy shit
NEVER get tired o' listening... ya can't touch it - pure magic.. Julin's break is killer.. (LIKE the vid ed - matches the high energy (;->) )
This is one of the best versions of this song 🔥🔥🔥
We should all be grateful that Billy focused his energy on music instead something like... serial killing for instance.
Lmfao .... He’d be a fucking monster that’s for sure
Yeah, nope. I don't see Billy Strings doing very well as a serial killer. Watch some of his interviews, lol...
Lord bless these angels. My head hurts trying to comprehend how insanely amazing this is. Got emotional listening.
Brilliant! I could listen to these guys all night!
Billy and Don both tore it up!!!
Sounds GREAT! Wish the cameras wouldn't try to make it "fancy" with the constant switching. Unlike most music these days, this is exciting already. No need to switch the cameras constantly to keep the audience interested. Beautiful playing. Thanks for sharing!

These boys are getting it!
Saw these guys in Bellaire, MI. Wow. The later the night gets, that better the show gets. Simply amazing...
Thanks for the share. Yeah these guys are great. Would love to get them back in the studio.
*****
i've seen him play pretty hung over too! doesn't phase him!
***** Let's do it again before RockyGrass!
I love Billy's voice. And he's a darn fine guitar player. Love that mandolin playing, Don.
Well damn... I guess I can go ahead and burn my guitar should I need to stay warm. 🤣
Holy smoke those boys can pick
like a strong shot out of Granny's "medicine" bottle!
I am going to see Billy at the Telluride Bluegrass festival this summer . . .I double dare him to hold that note at 10,000 feet and not pass out. . .Good luck Billy!. . LOL
Fantastic! How could anyone give this a thumbs down! Keep up the good work!
I love how at 0:29 Don looks over to make sure Billy isn't about to pass out
At the end of the video I fell of my couch! Man that was how you SMOKE EM STRAANGS!!!!! Great job.

Hank Tilbury
Sorry to disappoint Hank. These guys are truly amazing.
***** I'm sorry for the overly-harsh criticism. I realize fast-cut editing is okay with most people. And I forgot to mention that the audio production is excellent.
Hank Tilbury I agree! This stroboscopic effect hurt the whole project! It's a shame!
Not overly harsh at all. After the first minute I scrolled away from the screen so I could just listen to the music without the visual sensory overload getting in the way of my enjoyment.
It's bad hahahahah
Fire!!!
I love the way he attacks the mic for the last few seconds
Sweet Jesus…….
Wow!
Mighty fine !!
Holy Shit !
God fucking damnit. I started learning bluegrass listening to Billy but I doubt I will ever reach his ability! I'm trying his version of Brown's Ferry Blues which I'm going to upload soon but damn.... He is a fucking genius I can't contain my excitement after watching this performance
SMOKIN!!!!
Damnit boy, if they don't quit pickin' at it like that, it ain't ever gonna heal!!!
That you Townes?
you can TELL BY THE EARS THIS DUDE WAS A STONER TURNED COUNTRY MUSICIAN
Buil Dinit , who are we to judge this young man can pick like no one I’ve heard in a long time if ever ! Besides that’s profiling based on his bluegrass religion ! It will save your soul ! 😎
Buil u r not nice
That boy can render...
Uuuhhhh Shhiiiit
This video editing has a psychotic quality to it. Also, what the fuck is up with Billy's ear? But that ending is the most intense one I've ever seen.
That ear... Wtf?
