Billy Strings - Oh, the Wind and Rain 11/12/22 The Met Philadelphia, PA

[@torreyintahoe]

I wish Jerry was alive to hear this.

[@28zebra]

Turn 70 soon. Does my heart good to see the young music scene today.....people like Billy, Avetts, Old Crowe, Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers and a lot more. I go to concerts a lot more now because these folks are real musicians

the older i get the more i love the old bluegrass roots of music. old school intsuments without the computer effects. human music. natural music.

It’s gets down deep in your soul

[@TheOraclearchive]

Me too, first Billy concert i went to relied on was too heavy with hypnotic affects. Id go through great efforts to catch this vibe.

[@softailspringer9915]

the rest of the world needs to catch up with acoustic

hope this is okay. here is one of my renditions of a classic song with just guitar and vocals kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIHQe3eFoa1si7c

[@danarbuckle6640]

This isn't even Jerry's tune. If I am not mistaken it is an old folk tune from England with artist unknown. Can you imagine the life that tune has had? It still brings goosebumps to those who hear it. What a gift the writer has given us. Can you imagine if he or she could know what a life it has had? Could you imagine the satisfaction that would come from authoring a tune like this?

[@rustykiley3577]

Bluegrass never died. But its certainly blown up!! So gratful for all the younger musicians standing on the greats as well as making it their own music

[@ianmurawski8165]

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention I got a play this summer with Billy strings

[@toddhumphreys2186]

Billy and his band are nothing short of incredible

[@heatmizer-jim6762]

Billy seems unable to miss a note! And he's got a voice too! If I could play 25% as good as Billy Strings, I would be a happy man!

[@mattbruno5365]

Jerry is proud so sad I missed this one

[@Fvcky0uverymuch]

We're all proud as f! They are incredible.

[@truncated_sleigh]

Yes dude! Jerry would have LOVED THIS!

[@patriciadonahue7075]

I’ll be 73 soon & I’ve been lovin’ these new boys. I got my ticket for Tyler Childers at The Met in Philly in August. I didn’t make this concert to see Billy & the guys this time ‘round but I hope to see him some day. It’ll happen. Lol.

[@buzzkill1969]

Fabulous. He opened up with this at a little festival in Pittsburgh years back. It was cold and raing sideways. Billy walked out on stage and threw a bunch of ponchos out to the crowd and then started jamming this song. It was fucking incredible.

[@akborealisdevstringerdesig3845]

strings, the king of covers. Honestly i dont know how someone rises to this level of popularity singing other people's music.

[@browser9571]

He has written some all time classics himself, not even 30.

He's that good.. that's wo

[@mikehopkins3878]

Billy brings the best of many

That's the plan so fucking proud. That's my boys

I gotta go see this Cat next time he makes it to Oregon🤠

[@OldHomeBlake]

It will be well worth the time and money spent!

[@Fvcky0uverymuch]

Love cats hammie

[@Scottymo-pj7iw]

I saw a Billy strings somewhere in Philly it was outside and the show was absolutely wonderful. I blame my lack of recall on really great psychedelics. But all that aside the musicians that he plays with, every single one makes each other sound phenomenal. I wish they did this song. And I also think he is so underrated as a guitar player. I don't know if anybody's seen the cover of I believe it's ramble on, he picks up a Les Paul and makes that thing sound amazing

[@AH-pr9tq]

This is my favorite version of this song my mom went to this show and immediately sent it to me

[@MonicaLee929]

You Still blow my mind. Thank You

[@Kenttx100]

Such a treasure

[@robertsaunders6086]

Sweet pickin for sure. Beautiful rendition of this staple.

[@easytoslip]

I played and sang this song at a party where some musicians I'd seen a bunch attended and played some songs too. Watched one of them enjoying and being moved by my singing and playing, was a neat moment I won't forget

[@H1Badger]

this needs put-out on my honky-tonk juke boxes.. cMon.. Nice

[@michaelwebster8389]

One of my favourite songs. Great stuff.

[@JayChevako]

Billy had me at Dawg Music a few years ago, love the addition of the fiddle. Jay

If you dig the Dawg, they played an excellent Key Signator the night before! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5eZkHSQedJmptk

Jerry and grisman version is enchanting but NOTHING like Jerrys render on "almost acoustic"

[@michaelshelby1445]

Awesome as always!

I always wanted to do a metal cover of this song. The lyrics are already pretty metal.......

Is there anyone who is not yet enlightened who doesn’t know and believe with all their heart that Bob Weir is about to start a new band after Dead & Co that will include Billy Strings on lead guitar???? come on y’all this is the closest thing to Jerry Garcia of the world has ever seen

[@TheOraclearchive]

Ugh this frustrates me beyond belief. I have the maddest admiration for this band but the first concert I went to was just too persistent with affects, catered heavily on psychedelic tones. Overall just intensely aggressive. It was given no room to breath. Im not implying I dont want to avoid psychedelic accents, and sure dont want to expect from Billy, but id give my last testicle to hear this.

[@raoulwise1654]

The question is, who would want your left testicle?

[@TheOraclearchive]

@@raoulwise1654 well for one, its my last testicle, not my left, lol. And one who might want to cure people from testicular cancer, or study it. But id give it to the fire for this song.

[@raoulwise1654]

@@TheOraclearchive My bad. Okay I get it.

[@johnbilbo8639]

Billys voice is a lil young for this song....im not sayin its bad but its a different song bc of it

[@HardAssetsFTW]

Not as good as Garcia / Grisman quartet but a pretty good copy

[@guwop2234]

such a beautiful.. and totally non violent tune

[@chrispotter3680]

I want what Jared Walker once. this is the best version I have heard from you guys a damn good job

[@Fvcky0uverymuch]

Hmmm I don't know if I could like or dislike your comment how come there's not a roll your eyes option

[@Sleepy_Alligator]

Beautiful. Almost as nice as Garcia's take on the tune. Sorry... Billy is truly great but I'm hopeless when it comes to Jerry's music. That totally unique voice on both his guitar and his singing was perfect for this genre of music ( and others of course)!

[@OldHomeBlake]

It is hard to compete w JerBear!
