Billy Strings & Chris Thile - Nine Pound Hammer (Roll On Buddy) 2/1/24 Lincoln Center NYC

[@SkyDawg91]

These two are absolute musical kindred spirits. Love it.

[@gorillaspawn6071]

Boys are barely growed up! Man, the music’s never gonna stop!

[@upthehill8251]

IMHO, this combination makes each of these guys to be better than they were already.

[@chuckjillson1756]

Get Bella Fleck into this jam and oh my gosh supergroup these two are simply masters at thier craft...

[@JamesDavis-qg4jl]

Oh my word. That would be musical Nirvana.

[@OldHomeBlake]

They did just that at Carnegie a couple years ago!! Check out the tune Charm School :)

[@austenrobinson2747]

Charm school is a master class of improv. Thile and Bela together is bad ass. That’s a very small fraternity

[@mattdonegan3531]

Yeah, but Billy Failing is no slouch. I love Bela and all, but BF is right for Billy Strings.

[@JeanieDean62]

I told my husband watching them play together is like watching a mating dance. lol! They’re so intuitive…almost as if they’re of the same mind. Maybe it’s a virtuoso thing? All I know is that they’re both amazing and blessed! Thanks for posting this! It’s lovely.❤

[@rlo829]

So funny you say that because totally get it! I've watched billy play with others and I see the same thing. He and molly play and I tell my wife it's likes like good clean love making with their instruments

[@corkgrones]

These guys are having so much fun and sounding great at the same time. They’re naturals.

[@OldHomeBlake]

I hope it’s the first of many!

[@mbass718]

Thanks for posting this. I was there. It was such a great show. I'd love to see them do more shows together. They played off each other so well. They were having a blast as well as the audience. After each song it was huge applause. This little theater in Lincoln center was renovated and is now easily one of the best Acoustically sounding little theaters you can possibly see a show at. It was perfect for this stripped down performance. They didn't practice a whole lot before the show but it was like they've been playing together their whole lives. Just gorgeous!!

[@OldHomeBlake]

The sound was incredible and the room is beautiful! Lucky us!

[@louisevad6091]

Then there was guitar mandolin perfection

[@JamesDavis-qg4jl]

Just a couple of musical savants playing anything you can do I can do better. Just magical.

[@jasoncarmichael6311]

Nice, what a way to start the work day

[@MusicVault]

Awesome ! More please !

[@OldHomeBlake]

Love this!!❤

[@austenrobinson2747]

They need to do a bluegrass record. Both cut their teeth on it. This sold out immediately and I knew it would.

[@OldHomeBlake]

I’d buy 2 copies!

[@rogerpotts8915]

More,More!

[@OldHomeBlake]

I posted 2 others on the channel! Enjoy!

[@martinaldrich832]

Givin' grisman and garcia a run for the money.

[@FT91721]

Thanks for sharing. Did you catch any footage with Corey involved?

[@OldHomeBlake]

Unfortunately my phone died before I could capture any w Cory :( The trio was awesome - there should be some videos surfacing of them

[@lucyfoster4082]

Was this a sort of warmup for the Grammys?

[@OldHomeBlake]

They played on CBS Saturday Morning!

[@lucyfoster4082]

@@OldHomeBlake Yes and it was incredible. Sorry they didn’t bring Cory Henry with them though.

[@Appalachained]

Speeding ticket music

[@rarebasses]

Has anyone tried playing bass to ANY of these two’s videos? The timing is all over the place. Just terrible. One will set the speed and as soon as the other takes a break it’s either faster or slower. Been playing 45 years and never had such a hard time following. Picking is great but it comes at an expense.

[@williamtrakas3142]

Ok dude lol

[@redbirdjazzz]

Mark Schatz, Edgar Meyer, and Paul Kowert seem to do ok with Chris.

[@OldHomeBlake]

Maybe they are trying to fuck with ya!

[@austenrobinson2747]

Chris is such a creative innovator it’s hard keeping up with him. Time changes, key changes all on the fly. It’s not that he’s trying to catch you off guard it’s just him. Not a lot of players can keep up. Billy got mad improv skills but the resume isn’t there to go toe to toe comfortably with the mando GOAT.

[@rogerhughes4128]

I’m telling the teacher they haven’t been practicing with their metronome 😊
