Billy Strings - Help on the Way/Slipknot!/Franklin's Tower - The Fillmore, Detroit, MI - 11/21/2021

[@megadawg342]

I'm an OLD bass player and am so impressed with how with no drummer the bass player carries the rhythm and the melody!!! ????

[@sergetsalyukmusic]

John Mayer has said the slipnot interlude is the hardest piece of Dead music to play and as a player I have to agree. Bravo to Billy and his band. This is supreme ✊🏽🙌

[@joem5992]

This one goes out to my sister

[@Marshall_Stacks]

I have been nervous for everyone, including Garcia, every single time I've heard Slipknot because it's such a tricky trail to navigate!

[@TripleE76]

I really miss these Dead covers … bring em back please!

[@imnomoth]

He said on Instagram, he won't since he wants people to know him for his own songs and not just his dead covers. I do really miss them too. I wish he would do them, just really sparingly.

[@gsmarin1]

Billy has a Giant pair of Balls for not only attempting something like this but for completely Crushing this Medley of Songs, well fucking done!

[@randihorn9198]

You made an old deadhead cry..great job😂

[@seancalabro8607]

Nobody, Nobody can play Jerry Garcia like this man! Mr. Garcia would be so proud!

[@megadawg342]

@ 9:00 I swear it was into Roll Away the Dew. Oh,... it is!!!! PHUQ,... this is BREATH TAKING!! Dude's,.. you killed it! Memories,.. I was crying.

[@luvdylanstar]

I'm so thrilled that I found this!!! No words how great this sounds to this old dead head, absalutely awesome. I love Billy Strings and had no idea he had taken his music to this place, but damn, I am in my GD heaven place listening to this right now! ♡

[@richardsladic5964]

Just stumbled across this extraordinary cover of one of my favorite 2nd set group of songs… Billy knocks it out of the park with this arrangement… such a pleasure to listen to… made my week!!! Thx Mr. Strings 😁

[@DanielDuke-v7s]

Props to the bass player for working Led Zeppelin's Ramblin On into Franklin's Tower.

Billy is the best talented flat picker guitarist in this whole wide world!!! 🌎. They (Billy:) going to take over what the dead has left behind, the following of grateful dead billy goats 🐐 from show to show! Tour to tour Shake down streets and all ! Bet!!! It’s showing. Billy goats show up get in line and camp out days before the show comes to town ✌️✌️✌️

[@wangson]

Damn well done!!! Not an easy song to play either!

[@darryljudd7361]

[@samrogers2061]

holy shit this fucking rips

[@kaylascorner4308]

Bela and Billy?!? Billy covering bela!!!!

[@johnclark7633]

How does he get that sound from an acoustic guitar?

[@joysmith1113]

❤🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️

[@bbowman5920]

Mayer, Billy, we are convinced you can do anything musically at this point. And in the spirit of exploring, proven. We need a flatpicker to carry the Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Jerry Reed torch. We need a white boy that no matter how much he fights it, is utterly a true blues torch waiting to turn it loose again like only un-Dead Mayer can. Be who you are. There's an endless supply of jam guitarists. Teach these kids what is what.

[@williamcook9703]

Good Lawd !!
