It’s so nice to know there are still some great musicians that actually play instruments and not use a computer to make music!

[@user-ct8cw1cx3p]

Love that this song slaps THIS hard while simultaneously being a love letter to the great Muddy Waters. Trey and Billy are PB&J playing guitar together.

[@PhishGuy87]

Billy Strings is awesome. and trey shreds too. im glad to see you react to these guys✌️❤️

[@ginger7044]

What I like is that with all the reactors, especially you, it don’t mean nothing how a person looks, most of us just love good music. Poor, rich, we all can love good music together.

[@cbird02]

This was a clever ploy to get Polo into jam bands. Well played!

[@nmockster5363]

You know it! People have to dip their toe in to begin to form an appreciation and then see the vast depth of talent in the Jam world. :)

[@nmockster5363]

I offered him SAND by Phish on his Patreon channel. He just reacted, positively 👍. “It makes the Forerunner” 😁

[@barbarjinx3802]

Trey Anastasio, leader of phish is one of the best guitarists and one of the best bands. Come on people! Let’s get him into Phish!!!!

[@ricmcguigan1635]

God, please no. Phish is so over rated. Jerry died so deadheads needed to gravitate to another jam band. Trey's noodling is so homogenized. Sounds the same every song just about. I love Les Claypool and Stewart Copeland is a bad ass, so Oysterhead is pretty good. Polo, you like Primus, so check out Claypool's jam band projects. Have you heard of Buckethead yet? And they aren't really a Jam band per se, but check out My Morning Jacket, really cool vibe band and the singer has a really unique voice.

[@susanroutt6690]

I love that you are venturing into so many different musical genres.

[@jimmorris7712]

I've loved hearing your reactions to music I've enjoyed for decades. Now you're turning me on to great music I've never heard before Go Polo!

[@pamelalyttle]

Love watching you react to all this great music!

[@Tim_York]

Polo, I feel like I’m back at a Jam band festival with a few thousand of my friends. Chillin’ with a tie-die shirt and flip flops. Time to head back to the Airstream and Mello out. Spent many a great week at them. Nicest people you’d ever want to meet and the best kick back tunes. 🖖🏼

[@paulprendergast3184]

One of Billy's best tunes. Trey had some good fun jamming with Goose just before this collaboration and figured he should sit in with Billy too. So glad he did!

[@Scottracine68]

Billie Strings to me is a Jerry Garcia reincarnated and this shows that perfectly. Garcia's roots were in bluegrass and he made those translations/transitions to jazz and funk seamlessly, I think Jerry would be proud. Trey and the band are incredible as well and recognizes what Billy is all about and that makes this even better.

[@judyjohnson6180]

I'm not familiar with this band, but their happy vibe sure is cheering me up!

[@thorzzz1z]

Billy Strings will definitely cheer you up, you ever get a chance to see him live, Do It!

[@ricmcguigan1635]

All hippie chicks seem to love Phish and Dave Matthew's Band for some reason. I'll never know why. Check out Robert Randolph and the Family band for more good vibes.

[@user-ju4mi6yt3l]

Trey is my spirit animal, and I was able see a show on this tour with my son. I've been seeing Trey live since '92. Been loving Billy since he came on the scene as well. Glad you enjoyed it, Polo.

[@tomratcliff3755]

Billy Strings is da man. He can cover anything and make it his own. Trey is a great player, but I never really got his writing. Love this one and want to see more.

[@nmockster5363]

Hi Polo: thanks for the reaction; I thought you would appreciate the musicianship of this performance. Every single performer killed it and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I lit up when I saw the smile come across your face :) Music is the great unifier.

[@wendyj1s]

Love Billy❤

[@dannyc8041]

Just ... WOW

[@toasterturkey]

More Billy reactions!!!

[@chrisblack1119]

TAB (Trey Anastasio Band) is a side project for the lead singer and guitar player of the band Phish. He is an incredible talent in his own right, but Phish is one of the most successful and prolific bands of the past 30 years. Their fans are legion and their live shows legendary. I don’t know if you will take to Phish, though. You will certainly recognize their musicianship, but you might not vibe with them as much. They can be very jazzy and experimental at times. I can’t recall if you’ve ever expressed any affinity for jazz. I hope I’m wrong, because I love them and you would have another bottomless rabbit hole to explore. Thanks for this video. It was a lot of fun.

[@believen_uboo3705]

Omg. Billy Strings..

[@ihots1]

A jazzy bluegrass delight, thanks!

[@stephenreiner1523]

Love that hard fought acoustical vibe. Take my breath away. Yep, take it.

[@williamwheeler7208]

I've listened to this around 600 times (prob not exaggerating). It's magical. Idk if you know any Phish, but when trey starts playing Tweeprize at the end it made me tear up. When the horns come in my hair raises. This is a masterpiece that had little to no rehearsal. Def going to check your reaction out!

[@williamwheeler7208]

that 8:49 mark of your video is where Trey teases his own song. monumental moment for Billy to be onstage with one of inspirations and hear tweezer teased over his own song. GREAT JOB on the reaction william wheeler

[@nmockster5363]

Good ear!! I.ve listened to this so many times and totally missed the Tweezer Reprise tease! I love it! This is just damn good music.

[@RunawayOcelot]

TAB and BMFS Let's Go!!

[@tmwsiy7158]

2 of my top 4 guitarists on stage.

[@davidhuffman4036]

There's alot of awesome guitar players out there. Alot of them are super fancy when they play etc. We can see those videos on any platform almost. I play guitar myself and drum but Billy strings is super technical. Not many people can play the guitar like he can. He can play anything, literally anything and make it look and sound extremely easy. 🤘

[@maryanndavis8284]

I've never heard this song before

[@cshubs]

If you want to know what Trey was like with Phish when I first got into them, try Phish's Run Like an Antelope from 1993. I was a UVM student when they were still playing the dorms.

[@thesecretjewishspacelaser9959]

If you want to hear Billy’s band playing this, I highly recommend the Ogden Utah performance on Billy’s site.

[@bazzy8376]

Billy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamessomers8808]

Phish. Some good stuff. Chalk Dust Torture. Would be a great song to start with. Always go with the live version, because Phish is a jam band. I like how Trey is passing the torch, the same way his band was passed the torch after the Grateful Dead. In my opinion.❤

[@collierpeoples1918]

lets goooo!!!

[@joeknowslittle79]

The Trews - Poor Ol' Broken Hearted Me, I Mother Earth - So Gently We Go, The Watchmen - Run&Hide, Big Wreck - The Oaf, Tragically Hip - 38 Years Old, All Canadian, enjoy!

[@jayward7549]

Sounds like me on electric,,,,nice❤

[@Kernel4Ben]

So patiently waiting until you hear phish

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Billy Strings has played with TOOL several times recently

[@steveroell4143]

Golden Earring 'Radar Love'

[@peterreist2882]

RIP J Casey 🥹

[@nmockster5363]

For sure. What a tremendous loss of their friend and a great talent.

[@KB_-_]

BMFS!

[@stephenmichael8837]

Incredible Twice as hard on an acoustic guitar.

[@Tanyacordell]

How do I buy you a cup of coffee Polo?

[@poloreacts27]

Thanks choaticmind, There's a link in the description of my video that takes you there.

[@Tanyacordell]

Polo, I'd like to request a country song by Charlie Daniels. The Devil Went Down to Georgia, The South's gonna do it again. I think youd be amused by them. Looking forward to your feedback.

[@crabtreefalls1]

He is so GREAT!!

[@dustinsamson4879]

Billy strings dust in a baggie

[@dannyworten5876]

Thats an eclectic blend of genres

[@davidhuffman4036]

Alot of people dont know bluegrass is where rap got it's roots. Bluegrass is basically hillbilly rap . Fast country rhymes. Jazz/blues may have played a little in this as well as they share same musical rhythms

[@snobear41]

Genre would be Bluegrass/country transform into jazz with "island" drums- very interesting

[@lynlucas5573]

Polo..try listening to eric clapton live..change the world..think u will love it. Also please react to Dion and Paul Sinon..song for San Cook i know u will luv it

[@Bigduffey39]

Listen to a Phish cover of No Quarter

[@ChrisSlaughter-pz6zr]

@POLO REACTS - Here is a version of this song with his real band that blows this one out of the water. Enjoy! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnPIoZKhiNCLiNksi=PqQ0lOhO_XJO1j30

[@GWHinCA]

EDIT: (See below, I found the link!) This is cool but I prefer this without the band. Just Billy, a banjo, a mandolin & an upright bass. Pretty sure there Ave videos out there in that arrangement. Update: This is the version I refer to above. It was the first time I heard of & saw Billy Strings. It is so good! I hope you check it out @Polo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3KupIqbfsyXrpIsi=yOLDzvB0dIDkzdGW

[@williamwheeler7208]

respectfully disagree. give me a summer of full band billy PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE

[@11BlackLamb]

couple a twangers.......extrordinaire

[@winnigriff8989]

Good band, polo,can I donate using PayPal?

[@Leighanne-is2ip]

Please please please listen to Lua by Bright Eyes. The album is I'm wide awake it's morning. Whole album is AMAZING!!! Sad AF song! Very fitting in today's world though. Even if you don't react to the song listen to it anyways. Please!!!!

[@barbarjinx3802]

You need some Phish. Run Like an Antelope or You Enjoy Myself.

[@nmockster5363]

Got to ease him in the pool. 😉

[@JoJo-hl4tz]

I've subscribed and unsubscribed in a few ..but you I keep checking you ...And what people are suggesting..for 4 years now..❤❤

[@Robert-op7oc]

Bluegrass...

[@ZackHamlin1]

This version is really missing the banjo

[@Paul-gv6qd]

So vanilla. Bro, just play"3 days" by Jane's Addiction

[@johnny85er]

Billy strings is okay & all.. but Phish is better 🤷‍♂️

[@awmerriam4]

❤ 💯

[@tomratcliff3755]

I think you and I are two sides of a coin. I'm glad both are here and now!

[@mikegoetz3184]

Billy is one individual to Phish (4). Definitely more talented than any individual, Trey , Mike , Jon , Page Who I've seen since 1990. Upfront , close up , Billy is particularly ahead when you compare them at their same age ......

[@johnny85er]

Maybe he can checkout Boogie on reggae woman
