Never and I mean never in 61 years have I heard Sally Goodin played on this level as far as fiddle. Best I've ever heard. And of Course Billy plays at such an intense level and his graciousness is humbling. We are in good hands with this young generation of bluegrass musicians. I will sleep well tonight!!
I told my wife two years ago when I came across Billy Strings the same statement. I have seen Billy and his band live and and it was dynamic.
Best fiddle player I've ever seen imo
Well put 59.
Michael Cleveland is the Real Deal.
Billy is amazing that’s why he gets the best musicians on stage with him. And at his age to draw such legends speaks volumes
Completely blind and deaf in one ear and Michael outplays all of em! That's solid gold talent right there.
Just God...and HI s divinity
@@Kenttx100oh right, the god that is killing kids with cancer, such divinity
Never heard of Michael Cleveland before... uh, I’ll never forget him now.
I first saw him on ( Song of the Mountains ) A show on NC Edu TV about a year ago , this tune didn show all his talents !
That's how I felt when I stumbled on a video featuring him. His intensity is just brilliant. Superb.
lol you better not!
watching him play it looks like he's about to jump out of his skin with every single note.
You were me six months ago. Ty YT for sending Michael Cleveland and Billy Strings my way!
Just found this and as an old picker at 74, this had my feet tapping and a huge grin on my face! As said many timescBilly is such a class act and I can go to the grave knowing Bluegrass is in such great hands with all these amazing young guys and gals…pick on!
I would live to hear you pick, sir!!!!
FANTASTIC!🎶💪
Michael Cleveland went down to the crossroads, I don't know what He got but The Devil got fiddle lessons.
I’m pretty sure the Devil sold his soul for the lessons too.
@@snickelfritz4706 And that's why the Devil went down to Georgia. He needed to replace his soul. But the old devil didn't know that Michael and Johnny go way back.
LMAO
@@tylerbrandon460 And there we have it, folks!
He put a boot in the devil's rear end and said, "GIT!!!! I don't need to make a deal!!!"
Billy Strings embracing one of the few moments when he is not the one blowing the crowd's socks off.
Michael Cleveland ...A blind man with more sight than I could ever dream of!
Where is my hooray button! Well said.
Whats so great about Michael Cleveland, Billy, and others like Sierra Hull is that they all play in the moment and have genuine love for the music, its like you are always getting their best performance because you are.
One of the best uses of 10 minutes of my life. Such a good use it's about to become 20 minutes
@@lesmay9871 I have replayed several times & will again. My word that performance was hot.
Surely the greatest fiddle player ever. And Billy is to the line too.
The second fiddle break is totally freaking awesome!!! Michael IS the best fiddler on the scene today!
There's a lot of things I can't do, but I'm gonna make do with what I can do' - Michael Cleveland (talking to Doc Watson). Legend. Love the bluegrass scene right now.
When I come across one if my fave rust youtuber's on a reccomended bluegrass vid, I'm in good company.
Wtf never thought I would see you here Jordan hahah
Right?!? So many passionate players. And in the Old Timey scene there’s unbelievable players now!
CRAZY 🌟🌹🌟🌹🌟🌹
Just left that video❤
Mercy! What a God gifted performance...great music!
This is one of those performances that simultaneously bring a smile to your cheeks, and a tear to your eye!
Yesss!! Smiling and crying this while performance!
Almighty God is blessing us all!😊
most definitely!
It turns out whenever I listen to Michael Cleveland play, tears start to stream down my face. It is an almost primal feeling of joy that washes over me!!!
I've never heard a Michael Cleveland performance i didn't like, but this one in particular really puts a smile on my face. What a treasure to the entirety of music.
Hot damn if this isn’t the best thing on the internet
YES.🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉
For sure
czcams.com/video/VFEZOjtrwls/video.html. Just in case you missed it
It's cool to see how Billy is blown away by him. 2 of the best musicians on the planet.
As a 5-string bluegrass banjo player who has played this tune many times, this is beyond a joyful performance! A great duet!
My face hurts from smiling the whole time
Same lol 🤭😬
Mine doesn’t, it looks like I’ve been smelling cat shit cuz that was utterly filthy
I met Michael at his family's house back in the 90's and heard him play and knew he would do great things. I grew up with his cousins and would hear him play. Even at a young age he was amazing. Such a great talent.
Michael has been at our Father's Day festival a couple times in the last few years. Totally unbelievable fiddle player. This isn't the first time he's brought tears to my eyes.
big appreciates for Billy Strings being one of the few fusion artists who know how bluegrass music works
You can see Billy’s brains start to leak out his skull at 5:45
What amazes me about this clip is that Billy Strings, cool as all, guitar player extraordinaire, has the presence and prescience to know that he is playing with a man who has been gifted in a very special way by God. It must be akin to what Salieri felt in the presence of Mozart. Watch Billy's face as you listen if you want a lesson in music appreciation. Billy's response to Michael's gift gives me a whole new appreciation of who Billy Strings is and is not. Good on you.
Excellent,....but which god?
@@timothywilliams4089 Why, the One who made him, of course.
@@garywhitt98 I believe that his parents made him, they certainly made me, not sure about you though. So do you have any proof of the supernatural,.....such as evidence?, I think we should be told.
@@timothywilliams4089 Not the place for that discussion Timothy. However, if his parents “made” him, why can’t they make another just like him or why couldn’t your parents make another you if they wanted to and tried. Also, why can’t people create anything? We can merely put it into another form. Some things on which to ponder along with the lovely music.
@@garywhitt98 You are right Gary not the place for a discussion on evolution, but its called speciation; We all had grandparents?, and each generation evolves differently, looks change as do habits, demeanour, character etc, with the exception of twins. Evolution is an irrefutable fact, and the best explanation of the diversity of life on this planet. Regards, and best wishes Tim, and atheist banjo picker.
No doubt about it. Michael is in a league of his on. He stands by himself as the best all around fiddle player.
I regret I can only like this once. Good heavens that was hot.
A torrent of creative genius
These guys have restored my faith in human nature,.Havent seen Bluegrass played with this much love and intensity in decades...if ever. Billy and his band are absolute gems. This being my first experience listening to Michael Cleveland it certainly kicked it off right. Mind blowing truely.
Billy, I hope you watch this again and again... get Michael on the road with you. That is the most joy I have seen you have playing with another musician.. and we felt it out here. great showcase!
How can you not love this music? It’s just so much fun.
A song that makes my hairs stand up is a song that goes down in my history books
OMG what a monster performance. All the guys where smoking. Gotta say when Billy's smile and bouncing showed awe for Michael's skill it was priceless and infectious. Whewee! Joy. Joy. Joy.
Billy had a "front row seat" for one of the best fiddle performances ever!
michael was smoking and billy was alright
mando and banjo were trash
Exactly.
Get it Mikey !!! That's the best fiddler ever right there.........
100% 👍
Truth! 100%💗
My late fiddle teacher Dan Kelly used to call him mikey
@@haileybryant8336 I used to work with his father and been listening to him for a while !!!
I believe that Michael Cleveland is the greatest fiddler who ever lived.
Billy’s facial expressions as Mike shreds makes this even better for me
I play with a group that had the privilege to open for Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper on April 15th, 2019 in Fairview, Ohio. The greatest pleasure was being able to visit with him and the rest of the band backstage. His humbleness is so disarming that you almost forget you’re in the presence of quite possibly the best instrumentalist in the world.
Matt< I saw a CZcams video of Michael and Doc Watson and Michael is as humble as you say. Best of luck to you and your Band.
Wow. Where in Fairview? I grew up around there and can’t think of a music venue, especially one that would have bluegrass.
dfgalvin Hi there! It’s the Pennyroyal Opera House just as you take the Fairview exit off I70.
Hi Matt. After I commented I realized that I was thinking of Fairview Park, a suburb of Cleveland, and that there might be a different Fairview. I looked it up and it turns out you were referring to the other one in east central Ohio. I went to school in Athens many years ago and got hooked on bluegrass there. It’s so great to see the genre still going strong thanks to Michael Cleveland and a Billy Strings.
Damn boi
I love watching Billy as much as I love listening to him, well almost. He cracks me up with his faces and dances he does. You can't help but to smile. And I don't know what fucking planet Michael Cleveland comes from but that boy can play. Thank you boys for a real good time!
IDK how I even stumbled onto these vids but damn! First it was Billy with the baggie, then I caught on to Molly and the freightliner, now MICHAEL! It's not possible to stuff more heart and soul into music. I wanna say more but I'm kinda speechless.
The Medicine Man too funny man. I stumbled down the exact same path. I’m 52 and a hard rock, grunge guy but now apparently I’m a bluegrass fan. I love what these guys are doing
Hey don’t forget about Marcus King!
Dude straight up smoked that fiddle. Awesome stuff!
The best young artists in music today are in bluegrass. It really is starting to remind me of rock in the sixties when it was an open canvas and everyone was filling in their space. Billy is a rock star and leading the way. Exciting times!
Good to hear. Who are some of your favorites?
Fuck off racist prick.
Billy plays metal as well! Heavy shit!
Some of the best music out today is country music..check out Charley Crockett's The Valley album.
@@bobthabuilda1525 ditto
Fine pickin and fiddlin.
The classification is MUSIC
That was freaking awesome. Tears in my eyes and I am sitting here smiling.
Holy shitski. Michael be killin it. Billy’s the best flat picker around now too. I’d pay twice to see this live.
Brothers from another mother.
Chill bumps from head to toe. This can never be matched!
"I am sitting here with my jaw in my lap....OMG...what talent on that stage!"
Try listen to this without tapping your foot 😂
Shyt 5:00 min in and I didn't know to sit down,stand up, cry,laugh,dance or what haha.Absolutely amazing 💙
Sitting here in tears of how awesome this dude is.
I watched this video about 25 times and am truly stunned every time I see it. MC is so good it's a real treat to watch him like Billy is.
Man, I thought it couldn't get any better than Michael doing 'Whiskey fore Breakfast and John Hartford's Vamp in The Middle, but Mr. Cleveland proved me wrong, God Blessed us with him and his Fiddle.
Michael Cleveland is without a doubt a freaking genius on the fiddle. Listen to his second break (starting at 4:55) at how inventive he is. His improvisational skills are at the same level as some of the jazz greats. I laugh out loud in amazement when he goes off on one of those riffs. We are fortunate to be alive at the same time he is reaching these heights on the fiddle. Truly historic..........And Billy Strings ain't too bad either!
His intonation is freaking amazing, almost perfect. And his slurrs and all little effects are awesome. Best fiddler since Gid Tanner.
Mind melting run, absolutely unreal!
And he just won a Grammy for best Bluegrass Album.
@@tybrady1935 worried
Me too man I'm sitting on my couch fucking shittin and a grinnin ear to ear
He's basically deaf in his left ear too!!! Look at the end when Billy tries to talk into his left ear and he has to turn to hear him. Insane. He's other worldly good 🔥🔥🔥😲
The second fiddle break might be the best one I’ve ever heard by anybody. Totally smokin
He's so blisteringly fast, and never looks rushed even for a second. What a great performance.
this very well may be the greatest live performance of all time. Billy always impresses but my lord this is just next level musicians doing what they were born to do. beautiful
God-Dang!!!
I couldnt be happier than right now, I Literally commented on a video 2 days ago that Billy, and Michael should play together!
Prayers Answered!
ALA Ayuwuh Durn if I wasn’t thinking the same thing!
I can't get enough of this video !! Billy's expressions while Michael plays is pure gold ! So much talent having so much fun !
Same here! The fun, the expressions on their faces, the interaction between him and Cleveland and the others is equal to the music. Whoever filmed this did a great job at capturing everything as well.
Internet is officially dead after this🙌🙌🙌
Thank you Michael & Billy, this was an absolutely fucking batshit crazy brilliant version of Sally👌
Yo that fiddle just got PLAYED. DAMN.
Gosh damn this is the best shizznit in a long time.
واو مجانين موسيقى صاحب الكمان أسطورة سيخلد اسمه في تاريخ الموسيقى يا له من عبقري تحياتي من المغرب 🇲🇦👍🌹
My Lord..... there is nothing I can say that would serve to describe how much I loved this performance. Best 9 minutes and 44 seconds I've soent in many, many years!
Michael Cleveland is a freaking legend
Billy Strings is a fantastic musician AND a fantastic human!
Legend has it the Fiddle is still steaming.
listened to this 1,000 times and still say "holy smokes!:"
Wow ! You are so right !
Michael is a blind musician. How did he get so good ?? He has an amazing ear and can pick up a tune in a matter of minutes. Of course, he already knows a million and half tunes, and has the unique ability to remember them all and keep them straight in his fingers and head. I would wager Michael does very little else but listen to other fiddlers and plays constantly. That is how he got to be such an outstanding fiddler. He can play in any key and is a master at everyone. Billy is a natural musical genius as well and must also play an amazing amount of time. How he and Molly Tuttle do it shows that they are gifted musicians. I truly envey all three of these musical geniuses. They bring much pleasure to the listening audience.
There is a whole cool doc on his life on CZcams
Wow. Just WOW. I really think I saw fire shooting out of Mr. Cleveland's fiddle a few times. Billy always brings the energy, emotion and virtuosity to every performance. And that Invisible mandolin player was smoking as well. Cheers! P[>
He don't fray his bow hair it burns up before they get a chance to fray!
pitty the mando was out of tune and has a bad ringing problem
I'd (listen to them) play Sally Goodin all day if'ah could
Wow, Michael Cleveland Is beyond amazing. Totally smoking..
Damn, what a fine bunch of musicians. Michael was born with a bow in his hand & Billy with a geeeeetar.
Billy's Mom's water broke while she was playing in a bluegrass jam. True story.
That was a fantastic performance and I love Billy's face at the end. Just love him and his band so much.
Ya can just see Billy showing So much Respect for Michael Dig that 👍👍👍✌️❤️
Hard rock fan here and he shreds the fiddle! Wow
To see a virtuoso like billy strings so tickled at another musicians talent is awesome. He knows he’s in the presence of pure talent.
Best fiddle player in the world
'The Devil went down to..."
And Micheal Cleveland kicked his as*!
First time billy strings has played with someone on the same planet of talent as him
Pure unadulterated magic on a fiddle ❤️
I believe I could bout listen to this all day. Hot dog.
Been hooked like a catfish, on stink bait, by Billy Strings for the last, near a year, and when I saw this, wondered why he didn't hire Michael Cleavland for the band... This performance video explains it all...
...Thank God, they do what they do, as individual artists, because with that fiddle, I would never have heard the subjective lessons that Billy teaches each and every one of us...
That fiddle could drown out... John the Baptist Drowning Jesus!
There’s nobody like Michael and Billy. They are raising bluegrass music to a whole new level. I just love Billy’s facial expressions here.
Damn!!! I knew before watching just how good both all of these musicians are, but DAMN! MIchaeld KILLS it... just kills it and Billy is so freakiing awesome. Billy is truly amazed and enthused, but it doesn't even try to contain it - He just lets it all out and show how much he is loving it the audience to see just how amazing Michael Cleveland is -
this is revelations and fenamenan show's power of Billy how he developed this unbelievable violinist in this video
I guess this is that time every few months where I watch Michael Cleveland and Billy Strings videos all day. Also Billy walking up to Michael at around 4:45 is so wonderful, he knows he's about to unleash something he's just as excited about as everybody else, it's so pure and good.
Michael Cleveland just makes me smile.
WOW, You are amazing Michael Cleveland. You will certainly be in the history books as the best violins bluegrass player to ever live! Well done sir!
I kept expecting the fiddle to burst into flames any second.
Have come back to watch this many times never gets old.
That was A-MAZ-ING!!! Michael must have know Billy's penchant for improv in the middle of a song, and he worked that one baby!! I love how they did the 'call and response' bit toward the end SOOOOO good!😍🎵🎶🎵👍👍👍
This is probably some of the best picking and fiddling I have ever heard awesome!!!!! Woo
Michael Cleveland is the best all time Fiddler! I cant even find another Fiddler is anywhere near his level at all.
This gives me hope as a human.
I wish I could like this video 1,000 times!
Takin the world over with music and love
Michael is incredible!
Everyone on stage is also.
I'm 64 years old and haven't ever heard a fiddle played this good.
This man's soul comes out through his fiddle.
Thank you for this video.
I have watched this 50 times , each time is better than the last. One of the absolute best videos I've ever seen. Just pure talent, and hall of fame shit
I love the way Billy lights up when Michael gets down on that fiddle. Priceless!
no words can describe this is truly off the charts. BRAVO! BRAVO!
This guy is a once in a generation type talent....the odds are probably longer than that though...i could listen to him play all day long...
Each generation has gems but... lol they are hidden lol it might be timing or just not wanting to be in the spotlight and the music is fir just them. Who knows lol
Man ..this is just sick! One of the best musical performances I ever seen...
My heavens, best fiddle I've ever heard.
Cleveland and strings together, what a show!!
well, don’t have many words… speechless
MC is the master such tone and vibe from the fiddle is rare to hear!!
You see how he whistles at Michael to let him know where he is when Michael starts talking to where Billy was standing when Billy was speaking to him at first. Great guy!!
