How cool is this, Del McCory Band, all suited up and slick. Billy with his hair and hippie vest.....history in the making.

[@babswright2664]

Love it.

[@michaelstone3424]

Del McCory was the one having the most fun on that stage

[@ardalla535]

Look at Del's face. He's exuberant: Here's someone to carry on when I'm gone. The music won't die.

[@maplebones]

This music won't die as long as there's liquor and PBR in the world.

[@patfal1514]

Thats exactly what I thought

[@jeff4271-x6j]

Exactly...That's first thing I saw..Del's was just having fun listening to him..

[@joycethomas8868]

I was thinking the same thing !

[@robertg8875]

Dels younger shot in the arm !!!! Give him some music business advice Del !!!!

[@charmanwilson6354]

That look on the legends' faces when Billy starts singing nearly makes me cry. Delight and respect for the young fella.

[@davidturnage3467]

Is that the old man is young at heart, or is it the young man is old? Doesn't matter though, music transcends SO many things. I also felt moved by what you commented on. 😊

[@WadeinWhiskey]

Yeah you could tell the young man’s voice was warmin his big ol heart.

[@Bascomblodge]

How great is Del's high harmony?!

[@bradsparks6008]

Del just hasnt aged in the last 20 years

[@pauljohnson8847]

I am saying the same thing. I saw him in 2000 in Chicago and he hasn't aged a day. And what an affable, friendly soul he is. Such an honor to shake his hand while he stood alone in a corner.

[@benspencer9523]

It's the best " pass the torch" thing on the Internet at the moment I feel.

My god.. the looks Del gives Billy -clearly approved and impressed. The looks Billy gives Dale while singing together. Those harmonies. So genuine. This is a generational delight. They brought out the best in each each other. WOW. Special.

[@WadeinWhiskey]

Well said.

[@Luke-pk9fe]

A Guitar guy, Billy. Doesn't get enough respect as a vocalist And a lead vocal Dale Shows he can do it all with the best harmony's probably ever.

[@bryanharrell4059]

@@Luke-pk9fe This is very true. His voice is as high and lonesome as any of the greats, and still original. A truly rare combination to have both incredibly high caliber guitar picking with a voice to match. Excited to hear what the future brings for him....and the incredible players he's surrounded himself with in his band. Their talent is often overlooked, too.

[@alan4sure]

Dale?????

So right about YT. It really is the only place on earth to see this kind of stuff. I pray it remains somewhat true to the cause 🙏

[@jadefire1814]

Look what a good time Del is having!! Complete possum-eatin' grin on his face , and Billy's too. To play and sing with Del must be like nirvana for him. Everyone on their "A" game and it's magnificent to watch. (Edited to add, I didn't even notice at first, but Billy does that guitar "raise" just like Del. )

[@davecravenscravens6772]

James Morse thanks for pointing that out

[@blackz06]

What is a g run lick?

[@kathydonc6594]

He does that all the time, no matter who he plays with.

[@rgvt5638]

KathyDon C yeah, but he’s more than likely doing it here because as the comment states, that’s Del’s classic g-run.

[@FRDOMFGTHR]

@@blackz06 that classic 6 note run you hear as a filler the “dun dun Dunna na na”

[@joycethomas8868]

Billy Strings even throws the “C” instead of the “B” in when he does the G run....JUST like Del McCoury. Unmistakable different g run sound.

[@ilovejgbandthedead4364]

Wow Joyce, and here I thought I was a musician. I hand my mandocello and my ears to you- I totally missed that the first time through. Great catch! I went back and enjoyed that the second time around. That’s what I love about the replies section on songs like this- you can appreciate what you hear even more when others share their own interpretation of the performance. Haha, I just got so blissful and Billy’d out that I might never have noticed this without your comment. Thank you Joyce!

I am very concerned at how addicted I am to listening to this. It's just something about the way his voice sounds that I can't stop playing it over and over.

[@bradr1913]

I like watching billy throw cords at dels sons. He's playing cords exactly like del does. So he's honored del in front of his kids out of respect for that elder. That's an elder and not a old man. I canr listening its new and wonderful.

Del is certainly the torch bearer for trad. grass. But he has the grace to encourage his sons to go forward and make a place for themselves. And to encourage people like Billy who I think should feature his vocal ability as much as his playing. He has the edge to carry the music into the future.

Del is worth every dime the ticket says and then another dime! He burns it down with young folk and doesn't just do it for some credit... Most of the legends sound bad or keep going for the money. Del kept in motion like a locomotive and he isn't stopping til he's carried off to victory!
