BILLY STRINGS - "Pyramid Country & Train Train" (Live at High Sierra Festival 2017)

[@danielelkin3270]

WOW this kid truly is the one. Billy is the best thing to happen to music this generation

[@davidmcdowell6521]

Seriously Billy has such charisma, guitar skills and a great voice. He has it all and is keeping his music really fresh while still playing traditional tunes as well as mixing it all up jamming with other bands and musicians. Great to see his modest, playful attitude too. He brings out the best in those he plays with and we who watch and listen to the music are the lucky ones. It’s been a total privilege to witness Billy and his music. A hard act to follow.

[@johannlothe]

Spot on.

[@zachd5242]

These guys are like no others

[@tracyhouser4100]

That's one happy bassist

[@mikelliteras397]

I need a van. Billy and Marcus King have me listening to music again

[@drrbrt]

These dudes could outshred any metal band ive heard.

[@BulletproofLeprosy]

that change at 3:39 i fell back with my chair and im HOWLIN!! so good!

[@SDguitarplayer858]

Same!!!

[@dizzylizardproductions]

I love how they pair these songs. Billys string IQ and performance is tops. The entire band is top notch.

[@strangetimesstringband5025]

Might be one of the hardest billy jams so far.

[@Real4rio]

Amazing kid! From bluegrass to R&B and hard rock...with mandolin and banjo in "train, train"!!!! This kid is the new heavy Leadbelly. The best acoustic guitar player in 30 years. Finally something really good from our new generation. And what a voice! Great showmanship, also.

[@matthewbutler6420]

Look up Jake workman

[@kevinb660]

Bluegrass has been reunited! Praise be!!

[@djProduct2008]

This is the first time I've needed the "repeat forever" feature.

[@AndersJensenTH]

Wow, all of you as one, just wow. What a beautiful moment. Thank you all for letting us be part of it.

[@danielelkin7739]

Billy is by far the best thing to happen to music since someone turned a cello sideways and CELLO they got a bass!

[@IExertio]

Hands down the best band to ever exist

[@pokeyourface23]

I’m glad I got to see this before I die. Not in person. But goddddd damnnnn what a blaze right there!

[@sybo7617]

He is gonna be one of the greatest! Everybody else bow down!

[@harmvonlintig7146]

This is bluegrass rock'n'roll. Best stuff since newgrass revival. Thanks for publishing.

[@jamiej14544]

I really like the mix on this set, with the upright bass so clear and present.

[@theskipgilberto]

Shredders! All of you!!!! 🤯

[@iwillwander]

These guys play otherworldly. Like the music coming straight in from the ether.

[@therealjulez7886]

Billy Strings .... the fastest string slinger in the west.

[@grwood15]

Yes! Billy strings representing Michigan! Love this guy. Just an amazing talent

[@lroper7793]

Garey w so this awesome guitar phenomenon is from Michigan? Are all of his band members from Michigan also? Of course I've not been schooled on his early years.

[@brianrusso8018]

Billy plays like he was born at the crossroads.......

[@stevegoodwin803]

Damn. That was freaking impressive. My face was officially melted...

[@gregchapman3884]

The band is so tight. Love it .

[@eileencregg6754]

Straight up wicked wicked 🎶🪕🍀👀🇮🇪🙏🎵🎸

[@AustinRogers1]

It is hard to get four GOOD musicians together and play like this - tight!

[@supertravdoggy]

This guy is going to take blue grass places that it never new it could go. At this point in his life hes young and has developed technique comparable to Doc Watson and Tony Rice at the end of there respective careers. I'm so excited for bluegrass and the promise that there is some one to carry on the torch that has almost faded. Hold it high and let it burn billy, you got this shit!

[@prasad530]

This comment has aged well!

[@bigsilverbear4187]

Mr Bass Cello dude REALLY crushed it. GREAT BAND!!!

[@TheReal7Bit]

This was fucking incredible, holy smokes. One of the best things I've yet to hear on this channel

[@england670]

I can’t take my eyes off this group....they all are incredible musicians

[@robertoleksiak2694]

best bluegrass I've ever heard

[@jmichaelstudios5495]

Banjo player is wearing a Wood Brothers shirt love it!

[@nick19823]

Tonight at the State!!!! Portland, Maine loves this band!

[@duanefroelicher1613]

This kid and his band is absolutely crushing it. Love the mix of bluegrass, some rock, and blues.

[@andreaherald1796]

Y'all just need to know how f***** awesome you are man I think you're great

[@iancnnr]

i love that banjo player hes so cool

[@premasru]

What a holy smoking hot blast!

[@wthigo77]

Love the banjo player. Doesn't try to show off just does his thing

[@snookdock]

The bass is boss.

[@augustwest5207]

I come back to this video time & time again! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@phlarrdboi]

Billy Failing is one of my 2 favourite banjo players, so hot!

[@paullevine1813]

From the look in Billy's eyes Sierra was not the only one high .. Super fun & these boys as everyone knows are smokin' good to just plain awesome .

[@msjadeli]

GREAT BLUEGRASS JAM GUYS!

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

Yeeeeeaaaaaah! Got turned on to Billy Strings by Wings of Pegasus on youtube. These are NOT hipster d-bags. they know from whence they came. The real deal. Bluegrass at its finest! Thank you for this post, Jam in the Van. You, also, have turned me on to some great bands I might never have heard of otherwise.

[@Freempg]

I was wondering if Fil had featured Billy Strings. Gotta go look it up.

[@mattflickinger8151]

Fil here Hellllooo. This guy is really getting on

[@ralterjegoutube]

This band is sick!

[@moska1674]

Oh Lord, what a treat. The Tony Rice Unit legacy lives on

[@VolsOverOles]

Everyone in the group is operating on a higher level. So good!

[@87FordMudder]

The tone on that upright and the heavy jam grooves make this feel like a Hellborg/Lane session

[@TriggerWarner]

We used to say this before Google existed. " good googly miss moogly" y'all guys are the truth

[@GregoryWillTwitch]

I have been introduced to so many different venues just by following Billy strings 💙✌️🕊

[@shiner421]

I cant get enough! A legend is rising and we get to watch (Listen)!

[@3top5]

Play son, play. I love it!

[@tonoman67]

Fantastic Blackfoot cover , merci.

[@CrystalTwinStar]

[@jamieferentinos3164]

SOOOOO GOOOOD !

[@timothythompson2678]

Never gets old! The whole band was on 🔥!

[@almancoolguy]

In absolute awe, what talent!

[@willnot5687]

All of these guys are awesome love this music since i was a toddler im 47 now billy is the SRV of bluegrass

[@lroper7793]

Mr. Strings you are the Metallica of Bluegrass. So glad you came to Bluegrass side.

[@gktde9874]

Mettallica?? for me they`re like Mahavishnu Orchestra of Bluegrass !

[@huehoney7410]

Well that was a hell of an insult lol

[@DawgWatson10]

if it was metal you were going for the comparison would be closer to necrophagist or if you wanted to suggest more classical metal, something like dream theater. seeing as billy has blown out ears and sometimes wears a cryptopsy shirt, I'd say he would identify with the necrophagist comparison

[@HAZEYEYED.]

Obviously his point was that Billy Strings is BADASS. Geez u guys. I'm a hippie that loves Metallica (they do exist) 🤘✌ lmao

[@jakeweber7467]

pls don't compare this band to metallica

[@jasonjopling7818]

This band amazes me.

[@davesorrell9728]

Loved it.

[@jmc855]

I can fucking hear the bass!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@MikePeeplesPhotography]

I love billy strings' work. Always have. But it would be much better if he would ever even mention the names of his sidemen here. They are great and deserve to, at least, be listed. Thanks
