The unfinished midwestern basement just gives off all the vibes. What a moment.

Bro what the hell. THIS should teach everyone a huge lesson about life. There's billy, in this basement with a bunch of random local "no-names", and all of these cats are WORLD FUCKING CLASS musicians. Its literally insane. The banjo. The guy playing the slide on his lap, I have no idea how he was spitting such fast licks with a technique like that. The mandolin player. I mean, all of them. Just world class chops that take years and years, as well as a certain amount of innate ability, to cultivate. Impressed is an understatement. Such unassuming brilliance.

Tell me you’ve seen Billy Strings in concert? Greatest EVENT of my life. I’m 35 years old and listen to music all day / every day and Billy showed me the impossible. It was the greatest concert I’ve ever seen 3 songs in. By the time he got to set 2 me and my friends couldn’t stop saying “wtf is happening” “how is he doing this?? This isn’t possible…” GO SEE HIM IF YOU LOVE MUSIC HE WILL TRANSCEND THE HEAVENS UPON YOU 😅

My husband and I are more than 35 years old, we’ve seen lots of concerts. Went to see BMFS on a whim. 🤯 A few songs in we were just in awe, his performance and the crowd, it was such a vibe! It was my #1 live show, for my hubby it was #2 to Prince.

Truly amazing glimpse in Billy's life before stardom. This had to be close to the time things started to really take off for him. Also, it's very surprising to see a group of such talented musicians at a basement jam.

Our Irish and Scottish brothers made this great sound. bluegrass was born in the Appalachian Mountains. Every instrument has its roll. This is what real music is. not today's digital stuff.

That's some pretty high quality players for a local pick

God this kicks ass, billy has been killing it for years! Love this early stuff and thank you for sharing it with us all! Truly a gem man.

Billy does with acoustic guitar sounds once thought only fabled. Billy is created out of the need for this calmer more loving tones on this planet we should all listen in.

Outstanding! W.A. doing some heavy carrying and then doing some ‘splaining of lyrics. Rilko’s 💥. 💜this.

What a tight group of talented musicians. This was just so fantastic to watch and to listen to. It's a great song, and you gentlemen make it the best it can be. ✌️❤️🎶

Chillbumps. History in the making.

Man what a privilege to play with so many great musicians. Sounds great!

Fantastic!!!!!

REAL music - so bloody refreshing! Keep it up, boys. Genius.

Thanks for this upload. This is what music is all about

love your down to earth videos! also love to see a sublime poster in the backround! love and peace!

That basement is cold, like every basement, the shiver adds a certain vibrato.. this is awesome

This is better than the rendition done at the grand ole opry, that wasgreat too, but this is even better. Goes to show there are young people from my generation staying true to the musicianship and the roots of bluegrass and by extension country music, mainstream appeal be damned, even in 2023. Brings a smile to my face to see!

Just a bunch of dudes having the greatest jam session in the history of music - no big

OH. MY. GOD. What a treat to see so much talent in one place. Billy is obviously the fkn GOAT, but this is an incredible collection of talent. Can't WAIT to see you live brother, keep up the good work!

I'm not into this kind of music unless it's live but I'll listen to Billy in any format, he's got the magic.

Absolute perfection

Awesome!!!

These guys are awesome

Amazing! This music touches the soul and makes yah, just, wanna dance! Lordy!

Incredible

what a great tune. they sounded great!

Incredible!

I love seeing clips of him before he really gained national recognition for what he was up to. So much talent and swagger even back when this was filmed!

They got tighter as the tune progressed 👍. Some of em were just learning it on the fly I bet. Sounds amazing

This might be the best version out there. Hard to beat that first one. And that dude said it,this is kick ass 👍👍

Most talented guitarist for at least the next 50 years.

It’s amazing how many Great pickers are out there in the world like these with Billy
