I know Billy started out playing metal, but i didn't expect Meddle
Lol great comment
Swing and a miss...
My favorite tune of theirs (unless maybe Echoes) from my favorite record of theirs. Awesome.
Bahahaha
In my borat voice....very nice!!!!!
Echoes, Fearless and Pillow of Winds make the Meddle one of the best rock albums ever. Great to see a young band knows this and that the crowd 52 years later knows this.
A pillow of winds is brilliant underrated track👍
@@babylemonade2868Absolutely a top song, by any band.
…and “One of these days”. The live performance for Pompeii is epic…Nick Mason was a beast!
My favorite. 💖
Beat Pink Floyd album that most have never heard of.
You’ll Never Walk Alone if you like this song.
It is my favourite PF fact that they recorded the Kop for Fearless. Pure frission.
Fearless is one of the most underrated Floyd songs known to man.
Been one of my favorites since I first heard it.
Agree
At 68 years old, this young fella is my new guitar hero.
And his band ain't to shabby either...
I'm 64 and couldn't agree with you more. Been digging all things Billy Strings for about three years now. Just sad I passed on the chance to see him during our last visit to the US. Maybe next Fall our paths will cross again in Northern California.
@@jameshauer8554he got me with dust in a baggie. I'm 66. Been a fan of everything he does.
Old and in the way 63 here...
I'm 98 and I wear a Billy Strings Teeshirt..
62 and this is awsone.
One of the best Floyd songs and this dude fucking KILLED it!!
Murdered it you mean
My favorite song by Floyd!
I'm amazed that he covered it.
🔥🤘🏼😎♥️
Fuckin a right
Being Named Floyd at birth....I know a thing or two.....and this is the song that strings should jam ....
His guitar looks so unassuming, you wouldn't know it was magical.
I went to CZcams the pull me out of a deep dark hole this morning and this came up on the initial list. Praise the Holy Algorithm
Utter brilliance. No double tracking, just pure virtuosity. Billy is carrying the torch for the music of the golden age of rock.
Billy is on a whole new level. Him, Molly Tuttle and Serria Hull are carrying the torch for real music! It warms my heart to know that real music isn't dying like I thought it was a few years ago.
I think there are always people making good new music and keeping it alive, but they are often heard only by a few. Popular music definitely goes through periods of stagnation. It is great to see the folks you mention being new, good, and popular.
Larkin Poe and First Aid Kit too.
Aj Lee and Blue Summit, Molly Tuttle's brother Sully, AJ Lee, Jann Purat, Scott Gates... Just as good as Billy Strings & Co.
Sierra Ferrell too
King gizzard and the lizard wizard
Surprised this song does not get covered more often. Fearless is one of the greatest acoustic guitar rock songs ever.
SCI covers it from time to time
And not hard to sing too. Just hard to live up to the guitar execution.
My favorite Pink Floyd song, and I have never heard it outside of “Meddle” . Bravo !!!
Gotta check out the Black Crowes / Magpie Salute version!
Then check out version by Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets (PF drummer solo project)
Look up "Polka Floyd"
Govt Mule too
Try Ambulance LTD’s version. Extraordinary.
Wow, this is one you never hear covered. Good stuff!
I am literally sitting here right now and I can honestly say that this is the first time I’ve ever seen/heard this song covered by anybody else. Imho, I think they did a fantastic job with this!!!!! I hope you and everyone else around the world has a great Thanksgiving(even if people do not celebrate it). Now more than ever the planet needs positivity and love from every possible way!!!! Cheers, @medhead954!!!! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
I heard the Black Crowes perform it once , but that’s it
Moe does a pretty damn good cover, too.
It is in a modified G tuning, which is a bit more obscure. If you notice at the end of this, he swaps guitars.
@@taylorfreeman5205, how can you tell. Is it the capo on the 2nd fret?
A favorite and criminally underrated. Great work fellas
The song that ignited my love for Liverpool FC. As a kid in 1971, I had no idea what the hell the chanting was at the end but I knew that whatever it was, it was for me! YNWA!
YNWA ♥️💪
Love how he just takes his left hand away from the neck of the guitar with the open g tuning. 😂 So cool.
Whoa.. whole new respect for Billy.
Fantastic rendition of a great song.
Fearless with mandolin & violin breaks. 👍👍
Of all the tracks to go with, this is a DEEP cut! I have to applaud him for going with a choice that’s not an obvious choice.
You have no idea how poetic it is to find this right now. Greww up loving Floyd. Found billy in the you tube rabbit hole years ago. Love him. Today I am fearless. And to find both my fav artists in one. Fuckin goosebumps. Such an amazing job of the song too.
Today I am fearless
I've never heard of you Billy but glad to meet you while you play one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs.
You need to listen to more of him. One of the best musicians out there. His band is fantastic as well
Love this tune!
You’re a gift to the world bringing this to the public
Ke up the great work my dear friend
Best regards from Less Than Face Productions and thanks for the kind words. I can see you on Coliseum Way in Oakland, Doctor, like it was yesterday. Carrying that anvil equipment case.
Mind blowing, Brilliant.. I expected no less from a man of such talent, and as a die hard Pink Floyd fan with a son called Floyd I love it..
Randall Pink Floyd
You'll never walk alone Billy
Wow. What a talent he is.
Easily my favorite Floyd song - and this is the first time I've *ever* heard a cover of it. This is fantastic.
I dropped many hits of acid with the MEDDLE album way back in the day! 😛
It’s crazy the way the guitar virtuoso grand master of the 21 century is bluegrass
Someone has to right the ship. The world is seriously off course. Humanity is in trouble. This music is about community. Connection. And love. Can’t happen soon enough.
Why? Ever hear of Doc?
@@jimsaunders4136doc Watson?
Not crazy at all
When I thought he couldn’t get any cooler 🙌🏼
Strap In….
@@Empty_Eeyore Good for you. We know, Sherlock.
Wow. Totally took me there. Unreal. This kid is a god.
I'm a fairly new Billy fan. I love finding stuff like this. 🔥🔥🔥
65 here a this just made my day beautiful man!
This is fkn awesome.
My favorite Pink Floyd song ever, so beautiful. What a cool rendition.
As I've grown, Meddle has slowly and deliberately become my favorite Floyd album. At the same time real artists that keep it real, gritty, original and full of passion for actual music like Billy, Shakey Graves, Murder by Death, Jack White ( to name just a few ) have given me hope that auto tune will disappear with AI. Hopefully
Saw Billy this past summer. Love this guy. Can’t pigeon hole this man. Does it all.
I'm in the mood for a melody.
This is the best.
good shit!!! one of my favorite floyd songs. really great cover!
So many great covers of Pink Floyd by bluegrass artists out there. I think that’s an incredible compliment to PFs music. So versatile and stands the test of time!
Outstanding! One of my favorite Pink Floyd tunes!
Awesome! Please, please, please do some covers of material by The Band.
One of my favorite Floyd songs!!
Dude covers Fearless and Crown of Thorns......legend.
Omg that is so groovy! 🦌
Holy crap, my favorite song by Billy…
The album Obscured By Clouds has always been a favorite of mine too
Wonderful. Builds, softens. Plays with the rhythm. Splendid and a joy to be treated to my first Fearless cover and to love it. Even the accent suits!
Hiya. My first time visiting this tune as covered by the genius Billy
B strings in vermont and the world is in harmony.
Epic.. I feel like I'm there again
Long poem or a tale? I don't understand.
I never knew i needed to hear this song with a banjo, AWESOME
Nice surprise! Billy does what he wants and always does it well. 👏
Can’t believe I have missed this, glad I ran across it❤
Thanks for watching Greg
Totally insane...been listening to MEDDLE how long???
Then my young man here goes FEARLESS 🎉🎉🎉🎉
And does an amazing cover...owns it ❤❤❤
One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Well done.
greatest song ever!! I've liked that one since I was small, it took on a whole different meaning when I got older, "uncle cid" really put things in perspective
Greatest song ever is on the other side of that album!
I have always Loved this song, glad to see it covered, your rendition is close to perfection.
You say the hill's too steep to climb, chiding
You say you'd like to see me try climbing
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb the hill in my own way
Just wait awhile for the right day
And as I rise above the tree line and the clouds
I look down, hear the sound of the things you said today
Fearlessly, the idiot faced the crowd, smiling
Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round, frowning
And who's the fool who wears the crown?
Go down in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear lines in his brow
You look down, hear the sound of the faces in the crowd
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone...
Thank you
The crowds at british football games still sing "You'll never walk alone".
@@kurtthompson5517 And, oddly enough, the song was composed by an American.
@@mikeyb7263 "You'll Never Walk Alone" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. oddly enough I am a professional stagehand and I knew the floyds version first, you can imagine my surprise when we did the show the first time and I heard this song. And I also happen to be born in Liverpool in 1963 when Gerry had his hit with this.
Awesome! The one and only Billy Strings.
This song means more! YNWA ♥️💪
Holy shit. My favourite Pink Floyd tune.
Impressive...and a grest recording
Outstanding version of a sleeper Pink Floyd song!
I never thought I would like a cover even more than Floyd
Billy can play anything and everything...
Always loved Black Crowes cover - this is right up there. Great version.
Well done! Bet even Gilmour would give this one a thumbs up!
Such a Great song, Glad Billy is sharing it to a new audience
Fantastic reinterpretation of Classic!
One of my favorite floyds. Billy yours too, gave this geezer chills.
It is interesting to watch Billy play!

First time hearing Billy Strings. It was quite good.
Until recently I'd not heard of Billy but he gets considerable promotion when touring through New England and online.
Thanks for the second helping of Floyd, Billy! I would love to see you, get the audience to do the chant at the end of fearless!
"And you'll never walk alone... alone"
That would be Very Cool indeed!!!
Please play this when you come back to Buena Vista, Colorado this Fall! 🙏🙏🙏
Well.
I guess music will continue on
That makes me happy
That truly comforts my soul
A new twist on one of the best. Well done.
Love this floyd classic. Love covering it myself (rarely retune to open g.) This was an excellent cover. Much appreciated. Rock on
Me too. It doesn't sound quite right in standard tuning, but not bad...
Looks to be OpenD capo at 2nd. Check it out. But MY Guitar has a good lesson here (GGDGBD, no capo) :czcams.com/video/ohMORZUJq8w/video.html
Magnificent cover. One of my all time favorite songs.... 🫶🙏🔥
Wow! Restores my faith that music is in good hands! Thank you Billy.
Saw him do this in Cleveland last summer amazing thanks bmfs
I can't recall ever hearing this song covered and he crushed it...effing awesome
One of my favorite oft-underplayed tracks from the Pink Floyd catalog, from my favorite "newer" artist! You never cease to amaze me, Billy.
Thank you for keeping it alive!!!!!!
I always loved Meddle and this a fantastic cover of one of it's best songs.
I really love Billy, hope he lives a long and happy life; and if he happens to hook up great tune the whole time well, I guess I scored too.
One of my favorite Floyd songs.
Nice job fellas!
Wonderful.
really good rendering of a great song
So much talent
I’d a lost my mind. 😮
Wow yeah this has always been a favorite floyd song of mine
well this is just fucking awesome
Gotta give props to everyone on that stage.. This is awesome …
this guy is wonderful
First time I've seen Billy perform on his guitar in an opening tuning
I am wondering what it is. I know people like to do this in open G, but he is using a Capo too...
@@dbohnenberger Sounds like an E chord with the capo a whole step up from open, so open D? Seems right. Sounds absolutely wonderful.
Saw you this past summer in Napa. Thanks for the music. Fearless one my faves. Maybe see and hear you do it live in person. Thanks to whoever posted this🎶🌎✌️❣️
Which makes it open A. @@dbohnenberger
Tuned down first and then open E with capo. Less stress on the neck.
This melts my heart ❤and soul and always puts a smile on my face i love it 🎉😢
Goosebumps.... so talented.
damnnn man this song facks so hard and it always seemed like no one knew it
Beautiful!!!!!
Billy is such a classic rock hound. Way to keep it alive.
Fuck ya Billy!!
You’re awesome bud. 👍😎
Wow, I've never heard him play anything other than roots music...but I should have known he can play anything. Not to mention he has the best band ever.
I am now a fan of Billy Strings
