    To give some context to this amazing video... This is the show that Phi Lesh was supposed to play with SCI. It was going to be one full set of dead songs with Phil. Phil got sick and couldn't make the show last minute, so somehow Billy was able to step in. Us fans were greeted with an extra special treat. When Billy was announced to come on stage, Red Rocks erupted. Chills as I write this. Enjoy!

      His incredible Halloween performance really highlighted his versatility. Going back and forth from standard bluegrass picking to avant-garde bluegrass to hard rock; all with amazing dexterity.
      I think he's a pretty good bluegrass singer too; especially when sharing a stage with Del McCrory, who makes him kick up his game a notch.

      I actually found it pretty sloppy. I mean he's good, even really good, but compared to some of his contemporaries on electric (and by that I mean other players about his same age like Matteo Mancuso, Marcus King, Tim Henson, Mateus Asato, et al) he is not even close. I know guitar is not the Olympics and "best" is subjective, but those guys clearly have a significant edge on the electric. That being said I really enjoy his style, his fusion of traditional bluegrass with hard rock and metal, etc, and his singing and songwriting are excellent. I just wasnt blown away by his electric playing in this set

    I’ve been playing for going on 40 years. And I still find this inspirational. Eyes of the world - these guys killed it. As well as the rest of it. They really are incomparable. Even though the covers are compared to a lot. They bring a different mojo.

    • @davidr1676
      @davidr1676 Před rokem +2

      Too few bands add enough covers. Important to do them justice and I don't mean perfect copying. Those covers act on another level in winning new listeners or guiding the dosed from getting lost in a bad way in unfamiliar music. The GD probably understood that or at least unknowingly threw that safety net out there. These guys are one of the most underrated "jam bands" out there while there are others that seem far over rated.

      @@mikel5582 I figured it was hyperbole too, but wow very impressive, and Billy the Kid sure is amazing. I think he might be the best at playing lead guitar on Grateful Dead songs since Jerry. And he’s right up there with Jerry. I’ve been to a whole lot of variations of the dead line up since Jerry died from the further festivals onward… And also some variations of Phil and friends… and other groups playing dead songs And unless I’m forgetting someone, I think Billy is the best I’ve seen … Assuming he could play this well on the majority of their songs.

    STI in Seattle, pier 89, it was a warm summer night, never heard of them.
    Omg, There is no there way to describe it other than this:
    I was a puppet being played and the strings were string cheese.
    6 inches off the ground and everything.
    The crazy thing is, I was relatively sober 🌲
    I will never forget that and nothing has ever came close.

    Billy is very much an Alto and soprano with his licks, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard or seen him. I’d love to hear his guitar sing some Baritone, Base and tenor. Dark with the light. A little balance goes a long way. ✌️😎🌴🌞🌴
