[@jessblessed9765]

ahh to be ther n the flesh git it cheers my guys

[@lethargicgopher]

the bills are really piling up ....now that was fun!

[@ianmurawski273]

Good job guys

[@marksommer1782]

This is amazing, these shows really made me realize how special of a talent Billy Strings is. This whole run he was making the other guys shake their heads in admiration at his playing. Not many young guys can do that. Also cracks me up that Magner is in there playing a little casio or something. Hey, does anyone know where I can get the audio tracks of these Mahalo shows? All 3 shows were up on KZbin for about a year now I can't find them anywhere.

[@user-lx9io7cq1v]

Past in on

[@25two]

yep, Billy is the boss.

[@kevc-69-]

I wish was there.

[@jewelsandbinoculars1]

The Bills

[@santiagodemarte]

Olko, rolou quase um brasileirinho aí.

[@Suddsy.]

See even in a acoustic jam from Billy and the kids has a better tempo than Dead and Company.

[@LostMyDayJob]

I find the DeadCo tempo complaints pretty tiresome at this point to be honest. They have been putting on fantastic shows this tour, I will be seeing them in Dallas tomorrow and both SPAC shows next month as well. Can't wait!

[@ReedRosson1987]

@@LostMyDayJob Hey LMDJ! I agree! Me and my girl Jenn will be in Atlanta on Sunday and we will be at the Cincinnasti show in a couple weeks! DeadCo is great! I have only seen Billy and the Kids once (but got to meet Reed Mathis!) . . . anyway Jay Lane of Primus and Bob Weir/WolfBros, sittin in to replace Billy is a good move to make . . . good to see ya my brother, take good care !

[@herrtom4678]

what is the first song? 🤔🤗

[@hippijade]

Ripple

[@jimjohn3498]

Que?!? The Grateful Dead ladies and gents, and Robert Hunter!!! 🌟🌙☀️☄

[@GM-ie2zl]

Hmmmmm....... Audition for a bob replacement? Bill doing some scouting work lol.

[@michaelvignale7265]

Nershi should not even be in this room....Voice is awful

[@LostMyDayJob]

Disagree! I think he sounds great on this Peggy-O.

[@jamesinwood4170]

I think he sounds great.

[@drunkoctopus8595]

Peggy-o is beautiful he nailed it

[@mrsweettater]

I wanna hang with these dudes!!!
