Awesome 👌I'm the long haired camera guy. Thanks for sharing

[@biddyism]

You have beautiful hair!!

[@jamatoneblue]

Was this show a live stream?

[@jeffreyboddy5175]

It was for video screen. Is what I was doing. It seems Trevor had some one film it..

[@StephenStCroix]

All the camera bros are long haired

[@OligoST]

How did you become a camera operator?

[@receptorpol]

Billy effortlessly brilliant when it's his turn. A true master of the instrument. Hard work pays off kids.

[@jvaish]

The problem with a lot of Dead cover bands, just my opinion, is they are usually really good instrumentalists but vocals are often flat or don't have the extra "it" factor (like Jerry did) when singing. Billy Strings is one of the best to cover the Dead for this reason. He's an amazing instrumentalist and sings the vocals with a noticeable passion/intensity/depth of feeling. Maybe because he's young but then again so is Grateful Shred (also awesome) but they lack the extra oomph when singing. Billy is a great talent so I hope he keeps at it. This generation is lucky to have someone like him.

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

Agreed. I've been saying the Billy Strings band is the best act to come along since the Dead, and they're the best Dead cover band on the current scene.....

[@johnwatts256]

I agree! I told Billy a couple of years ago I can listen to 2 ppl all day. Jerry and him. He didn't say a word but heard what I said.

[@billwall1585]

Thank you for the buzz!

[@papajay111]

Wow,,, Trevor,,, You played up there with BILLY!!!! And you Broke the break man!!!! You really held your own!!!

[@maxhunt1035]

This is great Trevor, at 11:53, Billy has done this same lick many times in Bird Song. When you nail it, the joy on his face is priceless. Your leading the way brother and Im following @maxhuntmusic

[@robertmellen8346]

That's one of my favorite things about Billy Strings. As much as he loves to play, you can tell he's having even more fun when another musician is on stage killing it and he gets to play with them. All humble and class.

[@williammartin5569]

The KZbin algorithm finally got my attention with Billy Strings.

[@debbiepaschen5369]

Yaaaay!! Glad they hooked Trevor UP! Music men are fine! Good tunes and great times.

[@TylerDCurtis]

This is what I consider passing the torch. Wow, Trevor. Super excited to see you grow into where Billy is now, over the years. Keep on growing, let it grow, and grow it shall!

[@wesweldon8350]

Trevor is was 16 and Billy is the coolest man alive. This was not set up ,Trevor and Shep his pop’s were right next to us all weekend. Great great people ❤️

[@lisabee4865]

What an absolute beautiful Bird Song

[@receptorpol]

Plain and simple - this is magnificent.

[@lonestarstatechris]

Thist is so good. High quality music. thank you

[@SpokenBroke]

Congrats, sounds great! One time my friends invited me to sit in on a smallish birthday gig. It was one of those magical nights when everyone is in the best of spirits and we cut loose. I was having so much fun that at break I stayed up and kept noodling around and fell into Ripple. Next thing you know more and more people started singing along so I had to jump on the mic. Lol, my buddies came back half way through. They said it sounded so good they said screw the break and came back to join in :D

[@maybeioverreacted4504]

Looking forward to seeing Billy play live for the first time here in Lexington in August!

[@se80502]

Couldn't be more happy for you! Big things are in your future!

[@joshuawenzel9318]

Just found about this from your talk on Billy Things. Awesome story leading up to this.

[@biddyism]

This is awesome!! And that's coming from a phishhead/deadhead.

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

Best act to come along since the Dead. And IMO, the best Dead cover band, hands down....

[@jamatoneblue]

Can't wait to hear Billy and Hunter collaborate in some other lifetime.

[@LSommer]

I believe we are all Bozos on this bus!

[@davidmugglebee523]

Agreed 100%! I’ve become a big fan this past year. Thanks for sharing 💙✨

[@LSommer]

Tomorrow is my first show. I was a bit taken aback by the ticket price. $130! I'm sure it will be amazing. Just a little sticker shock.. We will have a killer spot... I'm stoked. He's outrageously talanted.

[@jeffreyboddy5175]

I just realized that it's you Trevor who shared this. You freaking rock my brother. I recognized you from Saturday. I won't explain why, but you stood out and had my attention during set break. I was amazed by to see you on stage killing it. F yeah

[@littlesilver2205]

Looks like we might have a young Jerry Garcia, i have not herd anyone else play as good as him.

[@brianfarmer5987]

You are a very talented young man. Sun glasses fall hanging down in face didn't even miss a note. I have a feeling this is the first of many other stages you'll be jamming. And to thank you young ones for keep on keeping it on.✌️🐦🎶🎼

[@phishm1]

Dudes glasses come sliding off while he's going off. Got to love it.

[@schnellguitars6128]

Can you even imagine? Mad props to you Trevor. EPIC!

[@franklee6301]

Bird Song is what got me hooked on the Dead and your solo was absolutely beautiful! Jerry would be smiling for certain, glad I saw this.

[@christophervilches3935]

I was invested b4 you finished tuning......you are sharing the stage with a special musical family....enjoy it......learn from it....never forget it!

[@debbiepaschen5369]

Great to see you brought up on stage and playing! Very cool...happy day.

[@Halliday7895]

Bird Song sounds like Keller Williams is singing at times...like when soft. BUT then Billy puts his Michigander twang on it haha

[@Steve_643]

I can see Billy Strings getting a following like The Gratefull Dead, and Phish. IMO Billy and his band are really more jam band with Bluegrass roots.

[@markmccourt3523]

A la String Cheese Incident, or Infamous Stringdusters. Yeah.

[@mikekelly6117]

Oh trust me we are already there. and we're pretty rabid :-D We chase these guys everywhere

[@chadraudenbush4296]

Show tip: if your body or mind compels you to yell “yeah” during a song so everyone can hear you, at least yell it in the key of the song

[@rogjackson]

How butter is that?

[@clevelandmortician3887]

I'm gonna go see this at thornville. I was informed the artist said no camping. What kind of show will this be? I've been there many times since the early 90s. Tickets weren't cheap. I'm apprehensive

[@jackkerouac6186]

Well how was it ? I could a went free and didnt

[@clevelandmortician3887]

@@jackkerouac6186 ask me June 26

[@Zoetropeification]

@@clevelandmortician3887 I'm going to be at Legend Valley (Thornville) both nights. I heard the no camping was a leftover social distancing thing. I live 20 miles away so I'm good. But camping there is such a part of the normal experience. Have seen Billy through the years a few times, including with these guys in the group now. Small clubs around Nashville, when they were not full on jam band. So this will be new for me to. I saw the Dead at this venue four times in the early 90's and some offshoots there later on. This won't be like that. But maybe I can close my eyes and drift back a bit.
