Wow! Nice. Thanks for capturing this for us Music City Maven!!!

[@amycountiss1356]

An absolute amazing performance!!!! My hats off to all of these unbelievable musicians!!! Incredible job to all of you!!! Thank you soooo much for sharing this! I enjoyed it greatly!!

[@jasonrothbaum7266]

It is kind of ridiculous how much they feed off of each other - the violinist takes a melodic line that Billy was running with as the starting point for his solo, and Billy in turn took his line straight from the preceding ones. And the violinist then jumps into triple stops like they were nothing. Truly amazing musicianship

I turn 69 in a few weeks, been playing this album since I was a teenager, now I am actually Old And In The Way, hahaha, actually I am a busy mother, grandmother and aunt. I love Billy playing this gem, it’s a favorite and he rocks the guitar solo, Jerry would be proud of him!!❤❤❤

[@MusicCityMaven]

Happy early Birthday!

Tabaslak !!! Billy fait rouler les notes comme c'est pas possible ! Ses amis tirent aussi comme des maîtres mais Billy est le Maître des maîtres et ce qui me concerne !! Le party est pogné !!! 🤓🎻🪕🎵🎶

they definitely spent some time wearing out old and in the way. great tribute. banjo lead was spot on..

[@robertmccurdy4962]

“Home” is one of greatest albums of all time.. No shame in just playing what butters the bread.. I think he tries a little too hard to be grass.. he’s a genius song writer, play the songs

[@mr.mcmagpie6606]

You must not be paying attention to what Billy is doing. The kid is playing different kinds of music with different people. Buy he's also taking full advantage of taking every chance he can get to play with some of the all time legends of Bluegrass/folk.

[@dmcrisp]

I agree. He’s a really good song writer, but these causal bluegrass fans need to stop calling him the greatest bluegrass guitarist that’s ever lived

No doubt, Billy can hang with the best.

[@scray00]

He is a musical genius. Would’ve been nice if doc had been 20 years younger. I can’t even imagine what they could’ve done together. Someone always has to take the baton, and doc passed that to billy on his way upstairs to be with Merle and Jesus.

[@dmcrisp]

@@matthewbecknell664 actually David Grier is the best. You can even rank trey Hensley and jake workman above billy

[@dmcrisp]

Billy’s not a master yet…..you might want to check out the other bluegrass guitarists that are older than him before you make a bold statement like that again

[@00xyq]

Well that's my new song of the summer! Can't wait to see Billy again and hopefully see the mccourys soon!!!

[@josmotherman591]

I love this Peter Rowan tune. I had that PR album, and I spun it many, many times.

Love the way each soloist built on what went before. Great work by everyone!

That's some mighty fine picking. Nice job by all.

I am not sure that the act of making music could be more joyful than this.

[@NatureGirl62]

Fabulous! Live music has returned!!! We are all absolutely blessed.

[@RichardBPOliver]

Absolutely superb. Inspiring, brilliant and fun. The band is like some crazy well-oiled machine, firing ideas around flawlessly, Billy ( looking young and healthy again ) steps up and cuts it, shows flashes of pure genius. Very well recorded, too, can't have been easy, everything's distinct but the whole atmosphere of the gig comes through as well. Best thing I've seen and heard for a long while :-D

[@1htalp9]

I mean this kid must be the greatest flat-picker alive... and he's so young. Just think of how much music this guy will make. Once in a lifetime, baby!

[@da324]

He isn't once in a lifetime, there are others as good.

[@1htalp9]

Greatest? Hah! Search for video where Tommy plays second chair to Zlatko, how do some people get touched with talent yet others not?

[@marklyon8406]

Man, everyone on this stage is a monster. I think the guitar solo that took place before Billy's was amazing. Billy is reading from a different playbook, I think.

[@johnthornton4266]

This is the "Poster Child" video that shows how wrong the folks crying in discontent about the music of today is awful and nothing is being made worth listening to. I don't disagree with the "Pop" Top 40 genre. This is not going to be ruined by the Top 40 Pop Machine. But the fact of these guys never succumbing to the LA glitz and Glamour formula that ruins the artists integrity and fattens the Bank Accounts of a large number of people that have nothing to do with the art.
