There was a time when people just enjoyed the experience. Now, people are more concerned with getting a decent shot to post. Most of these people will never watch the video they posted.
There was a time when people just enjoyed the experience. Now, people are more concerned if they have a couple of extra bucks to put in there car just to make it to work. I personally enjoyed the experience of watching the first two shows in Asheville & enjoyed videoing the third for the people that couldn’t travel or afford the tickets. Happy Thanksgiving Gene. I’m Thankful to watch concerts on RU-vid I can’t get tickets to.
@@HollerLandUSA it was partially a lament for a different time, and partially a lament for people who go to their kid's concert, and record it only to lose the experience itself, and never watch the video. There are so many people who are so concerned with recording an "experience" that they never actually HAVE the experience in the first place. Do you get what I'm saying?
@@uadimwit I do. Music & Concerts are good for the soul. It’s a different time & many moments are missed looking down at our phones or watching a show behind a camera lens. I enjoy both aspects of getting the shot & watching it live. In this particular show I recorded half Billy’s songs. I danced & grooved the other half. I’m proud to have had the opportunity to share with others & enjoy reading that others who couldn’t attend enjoyed watching.
Hey mate went to a show the other day for the first time in years and I noticed the young people are all filming it.while us older folks danced and drank and had much more fun.
@@dbrutiger8232 I was deep in it on a long Saturday back in ‘08 or ‘09 up on Poppy Mountain in Kentucky. I’ll never know who was on stage but I was on a 20x20 concrete slap thinking about dancing. My hiking boots were light & dry as a feather in my mind, as I started in clogging. A clog almost like the lady beside. “I’m Dina” she hollared “Dip Me!” Now dipping I can do… just hadn’t had much experience with the clog+dip. I’d remember what Dina looked like if she yelp again like she did that day. I’d like to think Ralph Stanley was on stage when I broke her fall with my face & my knee cap. When she popped right back up & I rolled over & brushed off on my backside; Whoever was up there whipped up a helping of “Shady Grove” like you’ve never heard before. I’m a sober video guy now rooting for the drinkers, the cloggers, the dancers & the dippers. If a dip drops or Shady Grove pops I’d like to catch it so we both can remember who’s on stage.
how ironic, I'm 54 and just the other day I told someone "I used to listen to Sabbath and Motorhead" but now I listen to Billy Strings........well shucks. I can still bang my head, just get double vision now when I do. lol Thanks for posting! fun fun fun
I just found this guy? Does he do original music too? I've seen about 6 or 7 of his videos and they are all killer covers of great songs by great bands like this one. I am really loving this guy a this band. Great vibe.
Listening and watching a "new" artist like Billy cover these two classic rock tunes only proves how deeply cemented LZ and BS are in musical history. Near the end of War Pigs, Billy has his eyes closed while he plays, as if it's an almost spiritual experience. And these songs are still monuments along the path of any righteous guitarist. The past is in good hands.
If you're going to cover War Pigs, you better be damn good...and...well...enough said. If you're going to cover this song while doing lead vocals and guitar...well...you just melted my mind!!
A great rock song stays great even 53 years after it’s been released. And when it’s played by great musicians, it just keeps getting better like fine wine.
I’ve been to many shows and this one was the absolute best I’ve ever seen. Took my five year old for her first show and this set a crazy high bar to meet lol
Even more how cool is it to hear so many people under 30 enjoying traditional music even if it is a twist on an old classic still played in traditional style what a wonderful Renaissance
If Mr. Strings continues to add all these classic songs to his repertoire, the list of guitar players I want on my desert Island might need to be updated.
What a fabulous, totally committed performance of "Battle". The mandolin guitar fiddle interplay perfectly underpinned one of the most moving duets I've ever heard.
Never heard of Billy Strings (if that's his real name) til I saw this. Very impressive. The young lady doing second vocals on ' Evermore also was impressive.
@@briano.1503 It's amazing how completely they nail not only the Deads sound but their whole vibe as well. It's really brings me back to my youth on tour.
Haven't listened to Metal for over 30 years. Can't wait until Billy starts his band, I'll be back on the bus throwing up the horns and rocking my face off. !
It's awesome to see them perform "Battle"...i was wondering when they'd ever cover that song.... Really awesome cover, HOWEVER, they shoulda featured Jarrod more on the mando since the original is a mando song... Better yet, Billy should ditched the geetar altogether, pick up a mandolin and do a duet with Jarrod... THAT woulda been [even more] epic!!
Billy, Billy, Billy! Wow!! I only knew you as bluegrass, but you proved me wrong. Your tribute to Led Zep was/is awesome! I had no idea of the versatility you have. You are following in some great footsteps, but in doing so, you are making some of your own. The love you make, is equal to the love you take - Beatles
We’re all 60+now….lol I remember the first time I listened to Zepplin in the early 70s riding around in the back of a 67 Chevy van called Panama Red smoking Colombian gold….lol
I'm 51. This tune was magic for me at the beginning of this crazy journey. Think the music was even used in a Seasame Street skit. Ole Billy n crew pulled it off which in itself is high praise
