Forgive me if you disagree, but this is like re-living early Dead shows with new energy. I really feel like Billy has made it his mission to pass a lost experience on to the younger generations and I hope they see what a gift it is.

[@davidperroni]

Agreed!

[@jamesnardi1840]

Truth !!! Well put

[@bradhoag1475]

BUT,does he really overshadow the guitar playing of Tony Rice and/or Doc Watson? Really?

[@sumnerhayes3411]

​@@bradhoag1475 No, he contributes to that legacy. He's absolutely the first to step back and let others shine (see his backup playing for Willie and Neil Young last week), or collab with Bela or Tony Rice, rather than try to outshine them.

[@MrAvlandrew]

Amazing how well Trey band accommodated Billy,,, harder than it looks to let a guest shine.

[@justinfarrell9547]

More to music than technique. You gotta be able to groove. You gotta feel it...then let it flow. This is a great band with a great feel. They groove effortlessly with Billy. As it should be.

[@djfrank68]

First time I ever saw either Trey or Billy was at Delfest 2017. I'd not heard of Billy before then. I knew who Trey was, but didn't know much about him other than he played in Phish. To say I was blown away by both of them is an understatement! I was expecting some kind of laid back jam music from Trey's band, but they were high energy, very well rehearsed and tight Billy was sitting in with many other artists the entire festival. Greg Allman passed away that weekend and every artist was throwing in some Allman Brothers as tribute, plus Government Mule was the closing act. What a festival that was.

[@Sweeny5000]

OMFG. That was so fucking good. It's been a while since I've been blown away. Good to feel that again!

Billy sounds really good with a full band

[@ryanphelan6861]

100% and its a testament to his versatility you never have horns or drums in bluegrass I remember on that DGQ20 box set 20 years of david grisman he had a persussionist for short period although it was a member of band mark oconnor, james kershwin, they were all multi instrumenalists. Billy could play a tony rice like flat pickin style acoustic and then do this which I cant understate how many legendary musicians you hear in his playing/phrasing even bela fleck at times sound like banjo hes such an extreme talent. Hes just got it... never slips up once hes on stge hes on.

[@chrispyle2942]

This sounds good , I agree but its super impressive how intense Billy 2 can get his band jamming on straight strangs

[@ryanphelan6861]

You add Billy Strings to any good touring band and you’d have the best band on the scene. He kicks ass in an genre, on multiple instruments, and writes Grammy-winning albums. The term gets thrown out too much these days, but the dude is truly a generational talent

Reminds me of my bluegrass days in the 70’s - except for the non traditional instrumentation, and the age of the players. We were chopping out tunes at festivals at 22 yrs old! Everyone other than Billy is 50(?) here! Peace (still loved it)

[@andydougherty3791]

Half of Trey's band are under 45, actually, and Natalie Cressman is like 31. She's barely older than Billy, and has been in that band for 12 years, believe it or not. There are also some really good videos out there of Billy playing when he was around 20, look for Lower Standards (that's the channel), that guy has a lot of basement jam, house party, and other informal stuff from when he was younger that's really fun.

[@MarlonBrando420]

Man. Billy’s style stands out a lot when compared to trey. They hang in opposite ends of the beat. Billy always letting the music chase him. Trey following the natural flow of the rhythm. A kind of lingering lead. Cool stuff.
