Billy Strings and Don Julin - 'Little Maggie' ::: Second Story Garage

[@vernonharris1495]

Well. There go. None better than these two.

[@pineynation]

get you someone that looks at you the way billy looks at don

[@Icneumone7]

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

[@juanblackwell8801]

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

[@Upstreamprovider]

43 absolute f***wits, so far!

[@vonkunstfreiheitgedeckt]

or they're just trumpists. shit's just shit.

[@alohanow-lowkey]

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

[@davidbondurant8859]

Thats BAD ASS!

[@tonyamero8574]

I listen to this just about everyday. What can one say? They’re both so good , it almost is impossible what they do

[@ClyDIley]

HOT DAMN!!!

[@adnacraigo6590]

Dang! That was good.

[@heathcanady4495]

Little Maggie is blushing as Bad as she was listening to this bad Ass rendition… Effing perfect and bad ass in every way🥲👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@frankierays]

These guys don’t just play… they are this music. Thank you.

[@ethangracing]

Can’t get over how good they are. Highest form of music

[@wrubhunts]

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.....

[@quantuseagle1920]

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.

[@glennmeyer4539]

As good as it gets

[@georgecrowe1887]

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

[@louisematheson5655]

No comment

[@dv8740]

Lord bless these angels. My head hurts trying to comprehend how insanely amazing this is. Got emotional listening.

[@IExertio]

Don Julin 🔥

[@tonykidd6131]

My favourite Billy & Don performance. Raw unadulterated Bluegrass at its best.

[@sharonanderson8375]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kcalhoun32]

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....!

[@jackieweems3063]

Never seen anything like him. Love him.

[@Rebel-Rouser]

This is the best clip of them together... so killer.

[@adammiddaugh8973]

Absolute fire 🔥

[@donaldcarlson-dr8tw]

FREAKIN AWESOME !

[@nathanyork59]

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.

[@alohanow-lowkey]

😂

[@MichaelElmore03]

Doesn't get old. These two are the REAL deal.

[@danielmurphy841]

They shine the most when they play together

[@Icneumone7]

I met Billy together with Don. To me they'll always be a duo.

[@TheJSW047991]

I've never wanted to party so hard to folk music in my life

[@gayabele4]

Saw these two, and their base player, at Cafe Lena a few years ago. Never heard better, Don's playing is outstanding.

[@alohanow-lowkey]

Imagine Don was a jazz guitar player. So glad he's playin mandolin....and love that his buddy faked a gibson f-style mandolin! 👍😂🤙❤️

[@alohanow-lowkey]

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!😂👍🎶❤️🤙

[@KennethWilliamElkington]

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]

That mandolin solo is absolutely insane. I've never heard anything like it.

[@KennethWilliamElkington]

@@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.

[@baseballmichaeljordanmcdonalds]

@@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.

[@KennethWilliamElkington]

@@baseballmichaeljordanmcdonalds Indeed Sam, quite a "special" connection... in the ethereal realm of music.

[@walterhermann]

Yeah and gotta love he's playin a mandolin his buddy built, notta gibson!....

[@minwifeof4boys]

still wish you all were still together...I miss the old Billy

[@estellepatella2520]

I love Billy's voice. And he's a darn fine guitar player. Love that mandolin playing, Don.

[@KennethWilliamElkington]

Just the best Little Maggie... um, ever. Billy the Incredible and Dapper Don, just killed! Buckle up kids, and ride this Sonic Tsunami!

[@IExertio]

Insane

[@JESSEverything]

This song gives me goosebumps.

[@stevelamb8455]

Don is so damn good, and billy is unreal!

[@shyfatigue]

Well damn... I guess I can go ahead and burn my guitar should I need to stay warm. 🤣

[@Jennozen1]

Wow.

[@cadeknowles3028]

This is one of the best versions of this song 🔥🔥🔥

[@ericmatteson8888]

like a strong shot out of Granny's "medicine" bottle!

[@KennethWilliamElkington]

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 (;->) )

[@paulfenton7776]

Awesome

[@brianthompson5521]

Billy and Don both tore it up!!!

[@Invisiblefence1]

Holy smoke those boys can pick

[@heathcanady4495]

Love me some Don… so in to every note💯👊🏼

[@DemonratPoison]

We should all be grateful that Billy focused his energy on music instead something like... serial killing for instance.

[@maidenrulz73]

Lmfao .... He’d be a fucking monster that’s for sure

[@zirconarmadillo]

Yeah, nope. I don't see Billy Strings doing very well as a serial killer. Watch some of his interviews, lol...

[@RichardBPOliver]

Brilliant! I could listen to these guys all night!

[@fiveeyes2802]

These boys are getting it!

[@caseyorf5375]

Fantastic! How could anyone give this a thumbs down! Keep up the good work!

[@goldensleeves]

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!

[@StoryCrafters]

I bet those boys missed the live audience vibe - here's a playlist with some full live concerts to show you what I mean - kzbin.info/aero/PLnKQNLNf4RmoNxit8i8sEKsOqkNUoXTLQ

[@brucel1185]

Damn. Ralph on speed. Great stuff!

[@AnonYmous-ii4tc]

Saw these guys in Bellaire, MI. Wow. The later the night gets, that better the show gets. Simply amazing...

[@Secondstorygaragestudio]

Thanks for the share. Yeah these guys are great. Would love to get them back in the studio.

[@mpgraf]

***** i've seen him play pretty hung over too! doesn't phase him!

[@williamapostol9946]

***** Let's do it again before RockyGrass!

[@tforsell]

Phenomenal performance... again!

[@lroper7793]

At the end of the video I fell of my couch! Man that was how you SMOKE EM STRAANGS!!!!! Great job.

[@allensandven0]

L Roper yea I pissed my self

[@ericmatteson8888]

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

[@stanwilliamson2812]

Need a warning that the video editing might induce an epileptic seizure, however the musicianship is unmatched. Excellent performance.

[@grannyrock10]

great to see awesome new pickers, there is still hope for mankind

[@cubswin60611]

Saw Billy Strings 3/20/16, opening for David Grisman. Heck of a double bill! Billy was great! Highly recommend....

[@jfkesq]

great playing and singin". so darn good.......

[@d25615]

All of that was very impressive

[@martindenhaan9662]

fantastic !

[@erichmossner5885]

straight fire right there

[@kubel83]

Really well played gentlemens

[@ATStrategies]

Never get tired of you guys. Damn.

[@lisafofisa2028]

Just damn. wow, loving this so much ..... fire

[@ronleccese8678]

Holy moly!! Awesome.

[@cherimolina2121]

I think billy's momma gave birth to a guitar. Billy eventually crawled out of that! He's a part of it!

[@jacquieauch1851]

Just sooooo gooooood!!!!!

[@HankleburyTV]

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!

[@Secondstorygaragestudio]

Hank Tilbury Sorry to disappoint Hank. These guys are truly amazing.

[@HankleburyTV]

***** 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.

[@woodythekid73]

Hank Tilbury I agree! This stroboscopic effect hurt the whole project! It's a shame!

[@vinyltone4970]

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.

[@HikingTheSonora]

It's bad hahahahah

[@danielbisson8032]

LOVE THIS GUY GREAT TALENT

[@KG-vi2mv]

One of the nicest versions I've heard

[@TheDutch231]

Powerful Billy Strings

[@jakesevits9090]

I love how at 0:29 Don looks over to make sure Billy isn't about to pass out

[@markedwards1557]

IDK I just like the music 🎶🎶

[@chig9357]

wonderful,wow!

[@praisegod.jesusislord.256]

Man you guy rock!

[@recordingblue]

I love the way he attacks the mic for the last few seconds

[@kathygagnon1366]

They were amazing this week at Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids MI. Love the adding of the bass to the group. Talent .

[@PX_Kev]

Brilliant lads!

[@Appalachained]

Wow!

[@sniffableandirresistble]

how excellent is this!!! another strike from the youtube goldmine

[@ladyofthewoods2448]

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

[@joesmithrocksdetroit]

Go boys go!

[@ladyofthewoods2448]

Bravo 👏

[@djangobevis914]

Goddamn

[@randyhaight7202]

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.

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

That ear... Wtf?

[@austinerrl5287]

Gauges

[@Icneumone7]

Don went so hard on this one.

[@MDSmith1979]

Sweet Jesus…….

[@soundmethod]

Holy Shit !

[@Matt_MetalStuff]

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

[@icewaterslim7260]

How do I stop binge playing this?

[@ajohnson929]

SMOKIN!!!!

[@Sound_Groove_of_America]

Don Julio!

[@bluto212]

A Beast

[@russclark6780]

[@SixxxStringSultan]

Damnit boy, if they don't quit pickin' at it like that, it ain't ever gonna heal!!!

[@trobmj1]
