I'm wondering... I can't remember seeing a bad review; has anyone seen/heard a Billy Strings show they didn't think was good or didn't enjoy? (Beside my own perpetual bluegrass problem)
We are looking to catch the show on Friday at Nassau, only about 1/4 of the seats available for sale, half the space and only floor and 2 lower sections. This is in line with the capacities of theaters he has been playing. I think Nassau comes cheap these days. No sports, not as many big shows since UBS opened .
There's a lot to absorb there, and it's not all just Tinfoil and Turmoil and Dust in a Baggie.
Well I was walking down the street just the other day
I had a double headed nickel and a bill to pay
There was bubblegum a'blistered on the hot cement
And I was waiting like patience on a monument
Well I rolled a little spliff and tightened up my shoes
And I went to the corner where I lit the fuse
Disgusted by the loneliness I couldn't lose
I sat and wrote a little verse to the 'rona blues
I said I always wanna do the things I used to do
But everybody got a job and works enough for two
We could have a little party at the end of the day
But everybody had a family and moved away
So I'm sitting with a paper soakin' on my tongue
And feeling better than I did back when I was young
Now I'm seeing music that nobody else can see
With all the colors like a symphony surrounding me
Billy Strings debuts two dynamic covers in Rochester
Last night, Billy Strings performed at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y., as part of his ongoing fall tour. During his performance at the nearly 12,500-person capacity arena, Strings’ debuted two classic covers: Bill Monroe’s “Ashland Breakdown” and “Cold Cold World” by Blaze Foley.
The quintet, comprised of Strings, Jarrod Walker on mandolin, Alex Hargreaves on fiddle, bassist Royal Masat and Billy Failing on banjo, opened their extensive set with The Seldom Scene’s “Old Train” before a sweeping “Turmoil & Tinfoil.” They continued their ignited picking with “Running the Route” before a cover of The Stanley Brothers’ “Stone Walls And Steel Bars.” Strings and his band continued with a pairing off his LP Renewal: “Fire Line” and “Running.” Next, Strings shared the live debut of Monroe’s 1976 song “Ashland Breakdown.” The classics kept on rolling with “The Train That Carried My Girl From Down” by Doc Watson and the traditional “Black Mountain Rag.” Next came the sweet-hearted “Love & Regret” before they played “Bronzeback” > “Must Be Seven.” They rounded the frame out with the ever-romantic “In The Morning Light” and “Everything’s The Same” to close.
String’s second set began with “Heartbeat OF America” and the traditional “Red Rocking Chair,” which is well known for Doc and Merle Watson’s interpretation. Next came “Hollow Heart,” “While I’m Waiting Here,” and “Pyramid Country.” They continued to make memorable moments by playing The Beatles’, “And Your Bird Can Sing” for the first time since the spring. He then dusted out another song that hadn’t been heard from Strings since the spring, “I’ve Been All Around This World.” After a few more songs and parings, including “The Fire on My Tongue” > “Air Mail Special,” Tony rice’s “Tipper, “Hellbender,” and more Strings brought the set to a close with “Dust In A Baggie.”
After a brief break, the second debut of the evening opened the encore, and the late Foley’s “Cold Cold World” came into the fray. They fleshed out the encore with two more songs by Monroe: Roll On Buddy, Roll On” and “The Gold Rush.” As the last song came on, Strings causally said to the crowd, “Y’all could go home now if you want to, we’re just jamming. The show is pretty much over.”
Billy Strings will perform next at Nassau Coliseum on Friday in Uniondale, N.Y.

He has no bad nights. I can see him over and over again and know that a great live music experience will take place. That's how I feel.
He has the most incredible band. If ever he had an off-night they're so great in their own rights that not a step would be missed anyhow. Bill has assembled a top shelf band and crew.

Okay. Gotta say Billy has taken a troubling turn. This venue was a questionable choice, and he is becoming too electric. Fiddle is taking too much lead work during acoustic songs.
Place is too big to create intimacy. Play a couple of nights at the Beacon.
On another note; I paid 9 bucks for a Pepsi and 40 to park. Outrageous prices that are chasing me and many others away from National performing acts
I'd say there were 10,000 or so. They had curtains blacking out the upper level. Half the floor was GA, a 20 row or so section of seats behind that. Bowl was pretty full, scattered empty seats throughout.
I enjoyed every minute of it. Thought it was a nice mix of bluegrass and psychedelia. Dancing and smiles all around. Sound was loud and crystal clear from the first note. Thought it was a well put together show.
I listened to some of the show on Nugs. Fiddle extremely high in the mix drowning out everything else.
Compared it to Cap shows just last Spring. The intimacy lost to the size of the hall is not made up for by playing with effects louder. It just didn't work.
Maybe I don't like fiddle as much as I think but I sure love it when Kang plays some.
My next Billy Strings experience will be a a theater or not al all.
