Sax player dont miss a lick- reminds me of Wiping every last bite of breakfast off the plate with a piece of bread- wide and sassy. Go bro. Billy+ keep it up. Keep getting in between " in-between" - Humble Dharmic enough for his antennae of Spirit not to get ego muddled. Entheo- musically- Liberated!

Is no one giving props to the great Tom Hamilton from Joe Russo's Almost Dead? Probably not apparent without his signature cap and scarf. He's a freakin machine as one guitar aficionado has commented.

Also without his glasses, but singing and playing ever so fine.

[@mattjones2154]

If, back in 1995, you had told me Billy K. and some then-three-year-old kid would be carrying the torch in 2021, with a band that is SPITTING FIRE, I would have said “that’s fantastic!” and given you a couple high fives.

It looks like to me that anyway human beings we are evolving. Thirty years and more back, only few were able to flow through the channel that Jarry had opened with the Other Side and bring back magic. Nowadays many amazing talents are sliding with joy towards Jerry's dimension and this is just great. Bringing back shamanic experiences in everydays life. All is good

[@charlesbarber6137]

Can't get better than this super talented band setting fire to both a great old Who tune and Franklin's Tower, wow, eh? Billy K is just on fire, and Billy S has saved not only bluegrass but also the Dead's amazing legacy for a new generation -- not bad for a youngster, eh? I was there for many Dead shows back in the day, and I can say to the young folks who weren't there that they need not worry, the flame burns on here, really.

This gives me hope. Billy strings, molly tuttle, Marcus king, GOOSE lol let’s fucking go my generation doesn’t suck after all 😂😂

Hottest show on earth presently

[@natronsf]

One of the most fire set openers in music history, this brings me chills every time I watch. The extended opening, the shots of Bill looking out to the crowd, James weaving in his sax, Aaron's sick piano solo, Reed's thumping bass and Billy's soul squeezing vocals bring this Who song alive like it never has been before. I can't put into words how much this video means to me. More Billy and the Kids please

[@bumblebootwiddletoes5185]

How can you leave out Tommy Hamilton? He's brilliant

[@natronsf]

@@bumblebootwiddletoes5185 you are right…Tom’s 20 scarfs and energy always kill it

[@zirconarmadillo]

Spot on. And the video production staff do a great job with this presentation. The opening sequence plays like a Hitchcock thriller. The 40 seconds of musical silence, with pan shots of band members ready to unleash the beast, and the silent audience, anxiously awaiting the unknown inevitability.

[@justindutton8707]

Tom kicks so much ass. His only “problem” is that he’s not BMFS 🤷‍♂️😂 Their interplay throughout these shows was so pure. Instant chemistry
