- Allman Betts Band performing Midnight Rider with Billy Strings sitting in on guitar at Hoxeyville Music Festival on 8/14/21 in Wellston, Michigan.
People don't know how much talent it takes to jam like that and not play on top of each other. In the spirit of the great Southern Jam Bands. Awesome.
As a Northern White Kid and a dedicated Humanist I love the Allman Brothers semblance of Time...
FACT'S 💯
Allman Brothers Blues Band from the first day Duane and Dicky started training licks and the whole of the ABBB carried us beyond state lines and time signatures. they really were music for all the people. Blues Jazz Rock Jam and it was fantastic!
You are SO right. These people are the best of the best.
Ya buddy, great stuff here. Takes a lot of talent. No computer generated sounds here just pure talent.
Every video I watch of Billy's, the other musicians always smile in appreciation of his talent
I noticed that too. ❤
Billy Strings brings a new kind of electricity to the current music scene. It's exciting!
Very well said
And even the classic, which this certainly is.
This is the music I literally grey up on, and have never stopped loving it. I've played drums and sang backup/lead vocals in several (cover) bands and the feeling cannot be matched! Once you ever experience the (almost spiritual) connection to other band members, while playing at peak and just through the instruments, you never lose it....and kinda crave it. Shit's like a drug, lol!
When Betts turned around and laughed towards the end of one of Billy's killer guitar improvisations, he was experiencing that high.... hell they all probably were.
There's a recent CZcams video of Billy playing two Grateful Dead songs live on stage, and it kicks ass.
PS, I'd provide a link, but I'm an old fart (55)😆
FACTS 💯
❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️. Loving Billy 👏👏👏
@@triggerhappydad65 Well, I'm an even older fart! And I "grey" up on this music, Too! Sorry, I couldn't resist taking advantage of your typo. I also grew up on this stuff, and Billy Strings is one of new favorites. Check out Billy and his dad. czcams.com/video/_6U6NCvOfl8/video.html
Billy brings out the best in everyone!
Billy's just slaying everywhere lately
I really liked his tour with Billy and the Kids
Billy is the real deal. So amazingly talented.
These guys couldn't have had any better mentors than their fathers! Unbelievablely talented...💜 them!!!
Definitely they're their fathers son's. Awesome talent all around and BMFS in the house too.
I'm blown away! The Allman bros kids with Billy strings!
I'm 64 and God bless our five-year-olds
You gotta be generous when you invite Billy to the stage...he's a force to be reckoned with. Give him room, trade solos, and be humble and gracious...cool thing is: Billy's pretty modest himself.
simon says so far.... throngs of knucklehead fans can warp any good musician one way or another. His immense talent lends itself to vulnerability
@@nickranger8706 what? turn of your computer and go to bed.
@@Chance-ry1hq I get what Nick's saying. Let's hope Billy's not for sell. What a great jam, huh?
Hey, I get what your saying. Let's hope Billy's not for sale. Great jam, huh?
I did not put this here. Something weird is going on. Sorry
Warms my heart to see these boys playing together, and I'm sure their dads are loving it seeing them together.
Greg probably would tell them to write their own songs. "Why you need to be playing oldies all the time." He would say.
@@dielauwen Devon has 3 albums out all original. Turquoise is the best one. Check them out
This was not the one I thought I was responding to. Sorry about this.
Crazy how you have to do a double take on those two. Incredible how looks and talent can be passed on. KInda weird too.
@@cteska I don’t believe in talent, it’s love for the music along with who their teachers were. Anyone who cuts their teeth on a guitar, sleeps, breathes music can also have “talent”.
First time I've seen Billy go electric. Outstanding doesn't even begin to describe how great this is.
Lots of YT vid's of him on electric....
Never seen Duane smile so much before. That was so beautiful.
WOW Billy Strings just elevates this Allman Brothers Classic.
The circle is unbroken. The legacy of Gregg, Duane, Dickie, Berry, Butch and Jaimoe is in great hands.
Write something yourself and stop riding coattails. Of course nobody would care now. Tribute band at best with the right last names. Sorry to burst your bubble I’m a purist
I wouldn’t walk across the street to see them at least Billy can really play
@@williamdillard4291 Riding coattails? You're trolling my comment. How's the ride? Guess you couldn't think of something original. These guys play and sing great regardless of their last names. Move on Mr. Negative.
@@williamdillard4291 Ouch! what a heavy dis! At least we agree on Billy Strings. Fantastic guitarist.
@@williamdillard4291 on point. they suck
Dual leads are always cool. But when the talent goes this deep it’s a thing of beauty
Sounds fantastic!
Long live this great music tradition. Dueling lead.
Goosebumps.
Billy can do it! Smooth...
What a crescendo!!!
All their dads must be smiling!
Peace to the Brothers Allman.
Sumbitch that's good!!!!!
@@charleshuffman1853
Remarkable!
Everyone wants to have Billy on stage and rightfully so. 🤘
They carry on the legacy of their fathers so well. It was so cool seeing Billy String jamming out with the band as well. What a barn burner of a performance!
grew up with the Allman Brothers,am still listening today.God bless y’all brothers,thank u for keeping real music alive.don’t understand what in the hell some folks are listening to today.
Dickey always stood out man he always had style and he was such a great guitarist. He was such a gorgeous man.
3 super humble players there who all grew up on Allman Bros! Love it. Devon giving those faces about Billy's playing during the jams is so wholesome. Shows how much respect all these guys have for each other.
as someone who saw the original Allman Brothers and went to many shows at the Beacon theater in the 90s and into the 2000s.this is great to see and hear...music transcends generations
I remember Glen Campbell who was the most requested session guitar player of the day.... Billy reminds me of a young Glen Campbell who now filled Glen's boots... seems like everyone wants Billy and rightfully so.... he's a guitar monster ! 👏👏👍
Holy shit there is hope for music!
Cool
Amen!
Berry Oakley jr.!!! Playing with Billy Strings!!! Love you bro:)
I’m speechless! Wow this is amazing. The road goes on forever and the party never ends. Dads must be really proud.
GREAT AND SPECIAL.....WE ALL MISS THE 60IES.............SO MUCH GREAT MUSIC.........SPECIAL 60-70- AMERICAN SPECIAL.............I SAW THEM ALL....BLESSINGS TO AMERICAN ROCK MUSIC.
Biggest smile I’ve ever seen on Duane Betts face. Thank you! ✌🏼🤟🏼
There had not been anyone like Billy come around in a long time. He elevates anyone he accompanies..
When he was invited to be the new member of Billy and the Kids, he not only added to the already great sound.. he brought with him a NEW ROBERT HUNTER SONG “ Thunder”.
The music business really needed Billy Strings to show up to play.
He really made these guys sound better too..
Boy, the way they are winding these leads together is magic, especially live. Not just chorusing an octave up, but just weaving different, complementary approaches together. Its like sex, only better!
Exactly.... Multiple melodies making love to each other!
A humble guitarist is something you can't always find and it's sad to say that has brought a many of a great band down ! All of these guys are Genuine Humble Guitarist and of course look at who it is !
Definitely in the top three versions of this song. Those solos were absolutely stunning. That was music as art. How beautifully they played with and against each other. Just perfection.
All these years later, the last three minutes of the song sound like the last three minutes of 1970 Allmans live tracks. Real good stuff.
The greatest moment in music history bar none.
Nobody wants it more than billy strings right now, nobidy even close to his level of desire.
or talent
Wants what more. He’s more famous than they are.
He’s not really famous. Ask any one in Nashville or any where else who Billy is and 9/10 won’t have a clue. He is only known in the tiny tiny bluegrass world and the tiny irrelevant jam band scene. He is being ruined by Nashville handlers. It’s sad billy doesn’t know who he is and it’s sad to see him go down the path of heavy drugs. His electric playing is average at best and his vocals are a direct rip of of another fake southerner, Dan tamynski.
@@johnlongdick9569 Walk upstairs and have mom give you your meds.
@@GGT950
Never heard of him until now
Unbelievable talented Billy Strings is. Amazing
I first saw Billy in maybe 2014 and was blown away. I honestly I think he’s going to develop into the greatest guitar player off all time. I’ve never seen dexterity like this. Just 🤯. There is just so much love ❤️on this stage,
Oh you know it!! Dexterity as well as perfection. Every note is there!
He can turn a metal head into a bluegrass fan in minutes! 😛
He is a wonderful person. We were lucky enough to get to know him here on our local scene also in 2014. He played our wedding. And our reception. And within days he was off to literal (much deserved) fame and fortune. He overflows with THAT THING. You can't teach it and you certainly can't fake it. But when you know, you know.
By the way Duane Betts is far from a nobody...
Joe Bonamassa will be hard to beat for that title.
@@daisywares1 Wow--- wasn't that special!!!! I met/saw Billy in 2015 when I hauled his gear from stage to stage at a bluegrass festival I was volunteering at!!!
Billy is the real deal. He can play better than the best of them. He’s an amazingly talented player.
WoW ! Dickeys Boy Looks Just Like Him.. Their doing A Great Job Carrying the Torch...Respect..
Best flat picker ever, playing with the greatest band ever, LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!
Sorry but Tony Rice is still the best flatpicker ever. Billy is making a run at him for sure though.
wonder if when the Allmam Brothers and the Gratefull Dead did those gigs so many yrs ago they could ever conceive a day like this ,, for those who don't no Billy Strings plays with Bill Kreutzmmann in a Dead side project called Billy and the Kids ,, truly amazing stuff
Their Red Rocks concert on CZcams is truly awesome. Billy K also asked Billy S to put music to Robert Hunter's lyrics for "Thunder" which Is also on CZcams with Billy S doing it with his bluegrass band. Also awesome.
Years ago been there saw that. Jam sessions the south was about. And playing their father father's songs, even though their fathers had a falling out. That fact I love.
Billy is the real deal, best thing going today.
Love Billy and that Les Paul Jr. What sounds!!
Allman/Betts/Tedeschi/Trucks - apples cleaving close to the trees! But it do sound good! Keep it comin'
Saw these guys earlier this year in Montgomery. Helluva show! Props to the AB band for giving Billy the opportunity to showcase his skills.
RESPECT, they respect each other and know that together they make great music. I grew up in the radio business playing southern rock in the 70's, it's in safe hands today.
Billy shows soooo much respect for the band
Fun to see Billy respond to the crowd. They give to him, he gives back double. Was a little strange to see him on electric for my first time. Nobody calling him “Judas” like they did Dylan at Newport.
check out billy and the kids
Had to watch it again. I think Billy's attained superstar status.
Billy Strings rocks the house as usual! Wish I'd have been there!!
I don't think there's any song Billy Strings can't master. Blew me away doing Flatt & Scruggs. I've only listened to his playing since I found him here over a week ago. Legend.
Nice! I have great respect for your fathers as musicians, and wish you young men success in their names. God Bless!
Loved watching Billy & Duane play off each other, such visible joy!
Mr Strings is getting me excited for outdoor concert season 🙂!!
Despite the term oil between Greg and Dickie, its awesome to see and hear their kids playing together, making great music
i was there watching this and let me just tell you it was out of this world magical
Duane is a fantastic guitar player. I would like to see this band live. Thank you for posting this
THE BEST MUSIC EVER.
LIKE OLD MILWAUKEE IT JUST DON'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS... GOD BLESS GREG AND ROBERT E LEE
So nice, the music lives on. Beautiful footage. Beauty of a day.
Good to see the boy's smiling and having fun - stay safe out there everyone
Ripping good grooves and we can dig it even at age 72! Take me home to the Muse.
Look how Billy sparked Duane Betts. Haven't ever seen a bigger smile or more impassioned playing by the Betts boy. No competition. They're just lovin' it.
It's downright heartwarming, for sure
I love it that Allman & Betts are together for this next generation!!
Great addition to the tradition..Rock on with great music!!
Glad you shared this
I saw the Allman Betts Band at the Tower Theatre in Bend, Oregon in 2018. Definitely one of the best live shows I've ever experienced. Wonderful music and showmanship from start to finish. Billy Strings fits right into that groove. What a treat to see them play together and be able to enjoy it online. Gawd I would love to see this gang in person!!!
This should be called the Allman Betts Strings Band! Awesome!
Damn that kid is incredible!
You can plainly see how much these Giants dig Billy
Brings back a lot of good memories. Yeah glad they're doing some gigs and having a good time...
You mean the Allman brothers 😂😂Doesn’t bring back memories for me. They suck without a major guest like billy strings to bolster them up.
They are just a cover band for Allman numbers at best.
Tedeshi Trucks is here it’s at. Listen to them do Allman numbers. Derick Trucks can play circles around em combined
Just seen Billy in Naptown..8-21..WOW
GREAT SHOW
Best work I’ve seen Billy do on the Electric to Date! Love to see Dickies son the young Alman’ ‘ Boy continuing the Tradition 🇺🇸
I'd swear that was Dickie....at first anywho
Billy Strings can and does jam with the best.....so many various genres
Yeh. The kid has gotten so good in the past few years. He learned well from his old man.
Sounds great billy sounded bad ass hisself but it’s not the competition it’s friends making great music
thank you for recording this
Billy is great under any conditions but my favorite is when he is flatpickin like Doc or playing with a great bluegrass band
Aaaaaaahhhhh on the porch man , I think I can fly 🙏❤️
No wonder the kids are looking back and finding the real deal.
This is a knockout....
Watching Duane Betts is just spooky. Sort of like, the love child, of Southern rock.
Goosebumps on that one! Wooohooo!!!!
This is the stuff we need! Great music, great guys sharing and taking us with them. Thanks for allowing many more to see and hear this classic. Peace.
To quote Sly Stone, “ it was good then and it’s good now.”
To quote William S Burroughs
"Cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal.”
Amen!
Billy Strings is everywhere. He can go.
I'm a little worried cause they are a band of bunnies(energizer). Don't want them to get run down! The energy is just really really good!
Definitely heard some Duane and Dickey tones in there. Bravo Billy and Baby Betts.
These boys can rock. Thanks for sharing this great performance.
WOW ! Billy Strings is an awesome guitarist !
Thank the Gods that someone filmed this....absolutely outstanding ...WOW.
Great to see them carry on and not let the music die.
Absolutely incredible! What more can I say?👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🙏🏼
A staggering amount of talent on one stage!
The quality of this video is first rate. Watching on my computer monitor and it's so clear. Thanks for this.
So much talent on that stage!
Fantastic !!!! 👍
this kid is awesome.....and very welcome to the family..
So beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. So nice to see these young men carrying on the legacy of their fathers before them. Well done! ♥️
This put a smile on my face
Wow! Billy strings is a force to be reckoned with 🔥🔥👏🙌
Awesome 👌 absolutely love it
Billy Strings is a legend in the making.
I used to feel that way about Marcus King. He went kinda Americana.
Just remember the roots of this great music. The Allman Brothers.
