Billy Strings & Chris Thile- Gonna Lay Down My Old Guitar (Doc & Merle Watson) Lincoln Ctr NY 2/1/24

[@roblinxweiler9951]

I've seen Doc, I've seen Norman, I've seen Big Mon, I've seen Ricky. But I've never seen anything like these two. Ho-lee-cow.

[@inamotodig]

These two need to do an album and a tour. I can only imagine what kind of original tunes they'd come up with...

[@alshoney3]

Mygod, they are sooo brilliant together.

[@dansanjuanenterprise5244]

I simply can’t imagine a better colab between two proven geniuses ! Music from these two would be on my shortlist of needs for being stranded on a deserted island. Up there with the likes of Tony Rice, Sam Bush, David Griz, and of course… Doc himself. I’ve been in permagrin mode since first hearing these two together and discovering Willy Nelson’s latest bluegrass album. Keeps getting better, making life sweeter ! 🎼🎶🎵

[@fiddlefolk]

Hell yeah! Mighty good fellers!

[@SkyDawg91]

Billy teased Rift at 0:19!!

[@lucyfoster4082]

I sure hope they like each other and get along ok, so they’ll want to do this again!

[@moonbeamchaos]

Check out their appearance on CBS Saturday Morning from today!

[@austenrobinson2747]

They love playing together it’s obvious.

[@lucyfoster4082]

How beautiful!

[@danimal710]

@phish "With" melody a few times around 0:11!

[@jonnya3425]

I was going to say that I can't be the only person who heard Billy tease Rift/With in the noodling intro. Coolest part is that Chris couldn't help but pick up on it and complete the call and response.

[@danimal710]

@@jonnya3425 , we were there and I heard it live. I tried tweeting all phish adjacent celebrities who were there (Karina Rykman, Ari Fink...) but no one engaged.

[@ajmcdavis]

Is that a Rift quote at 0:17 ?

[@ligiaherrera2639]

i heard that too! lol

[@blundgrenviolin]

Yes, it certainly was!

[@anthonymclaughlin6164]

wow

[@billstapleton5246]

omg u must have been 15 feet to my right. I was just side of stage enough where the Piano was annoyingly blocking part of my view. Great show. Thanks for grabbing these songs.

[@concertclubATL]

Yeah, that was me! My goal was to record one song, but then I just propped the phone on the rail and couldn’t get enough and ended up with all but one song. What an incredible show!

[@mbass718]

Thanks again. This show was everything and more it was so great. The acoustics in this little room were absolutely amazing. They did an incredible job renovating this tiny theater.

[@randalbladel2817]

Andrew Bird channels Stephan Grapelli as well as anyone. And that’s good.

[@randalbladel2817]

Sorry, this was meant for another video.

[@randalbladel2817]

Wonder why Chris has his in-ear monitors hanging out.
