As you know, I am a big BS fan.

Also this is one of my favorite songs. Old and In the Way, Peter Rowan penned tune. I have seen Peter play it with String Cheese Incident and with Railroad Earth. Never got to see Old and In the Way though.

Billy actually goes to a wrong chord (Em) where he should be efFing in the first verse here. You can't really hear it and he corrects quickly.

PS. Billy looks stoned. lol

Just found this version with all star band. Tony Rice. Peter Rowan, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas

 

[Westerly Wood]

this Tony Rice playing is probably my favorite acoustic playing of any artist of all time:

Hoping to see Billy during his 3-day hometown stand Dec 30-31-Jan 1. Still on the waiting list.

Tony Rice is one of my all-time favorites! Rice & Skaggs, iconic, classic bluegrass album.

Billy is playing near us in August. Still tickets available. Think I'm a buyer.

 

[dreadnut]

How much are tickets if I might ask?

Just went to Axs to buy some and decided to wait. Listed at $79, but with "processing fees" $202 for 2 tix. It's an outdoor venue. We are going to wait until closer to see what the weather has in store and also to see if prices come down on Stub Hub.

This is August 6 at Westville Music Bowl which is at Yale in New Haven, CT about an hour from us with no traffic... there is always tons of traffic heading that way on a Friday evening though so call it closer to 2 hours there and an hour home.

He's in Philly in November and I was psyched to see him. He's at The Fillmore and it is general admission, standing room only.

I'm too d*mn old for that.
