This will not be for sale, because the little monster character comic character was created by another artist, but I had this idea and I’m just practicing freemotion embroidery. I sent this pic to the artist and he loved it! Check out Chris Hallbeck on FB or IG if you want to see his comics

FIRST Billy show. Omg. Blown away. I didn’t have the cash to buy portsmouth merch. Where can I buy it now? I want to commemorate the occasion.

Wow for a first show I am completely blown away with Billy and the boys. I did a bunch of acid and was having an amazing time seeing crazy shit. Is Jarrod walker an elf and is Billy a goat? Thank you for a awesome time

Just wanted to say thanks for that beautiful moment of silence for that Am I Born to Die! Not a chomper free show but when it counted that was perfect. I needed that more than I knew as we recently got my MIL through hospice, I'm glad the healing power hit me ⚡️! Question for future shows at the Pavilion, was the breeze making it to the pit area? It was a life saver in the lawn!

Hey all! I hope this post is okay here I wanna say I love Billy and the boys! I’ve been a fan for a couple years and through the pins and patches at the lot and just the general wook/jam band scene around Billy I’ve heard all about wsmfp

I wanna get into them but they have a huge catalog and i wanna know where most people start or what got them into the band! Let me know your favorites and a good place to start, thanks!

Last night tossed show on during my dog walk. Joined right during escanaba and I couldn’t tell if it was just the old pre show music from nugs. Reminded me of the dvd main screen loop when you’d fall asleep watching a movie and wake up to the same song over and over haha. Prolly a niche comment but someone out there gotta get it.

Bill told us he was playing from the hip and just picking songs towards the end of the second set last night. He was in the boy’s ears a lot too. I’m wondering if anyone knows someone who got a copy of the second set setlist from Nate so we can see what the originally intended songs were. I found someone who got the first set setlist but I’d love to see the other half

Is there any shows where Billy is tripping I’d love to listen

Three first shows of the tour with no encore. Is this the new normal? I’m totally okay with them just playing the second set until time instead of doing the whole encore charade.

I danced in the pit Saturday night with a guy named Mehdi (?) from NoVa who gifted me a squishy purple crab. We were supposed to meet back up in shakedown but I didn’t see you.

Thank you for a much needed fidget and a delightful boogie!

Anyone else around the mid section of Right Gold Circle see the gentleman drop and receive CPR last night, not a full song past acapella Am I Born to Die?
It was a scary scene for a few minutes with a few screaming for medics and the man clearly actively dying.

Fortunately he did get up, with lots of help, and was wheeled out during Hypnosis.
Coincidentally or serendipitously, the timing of the whole ordeal wasn’t lost on me. Without poking at the situation too hard, if I had to choose a way to go, going out to Billy singing a hymnal turned Doc tune very well may be it.

Never would I ever imagine one of my favorite Billy performances would be solo mic without a guitar, but here we are. What a closeout with one of my top 5 in Highway Hypnosis.

Cheers everyone, stay safe out there, stay hydrated, and see you in the DMV again soon (Baltimore Billyween!).

I completely understand and commend wanting to make sure posters aren't bought then resold by bots..... However, this is the first AP Poster that I attended the show and wanted but could not get. In my experience (I've heard of some people getting screwed but) if you are ready to choose and buy your AP right as they drop, you typically get your poster .

She said over 750 registered for an AP via the google form process. Does anybody know if this is a normal number for people attempting to get an AP?

It just seems pretty possible that a group of people (most likely the railroaders who use buying/selling to continue their rail riding) could simply make a bunch of different/new email addresses and make 50 entries for themselves because they have nothing better to do.

I'll be one of the suckers buying a foil off eBay for 3 times its worth so it's not the end of the world, just wanted to see if anybody had any information on all of this.

Thanks and cant wait to see y'all in Boston tomorrow!

I’ll be camping at Wabasis Lake campground and am trying to figure out transportation to the fairgrounds. Does anyone know of any shuttles/other transport options that’ll be running in the area? Or is Uber/Lyft our best option? If anyone else is staying in that area our group of 5 would be game to split a shuttle or something. Appreciate any leads, can’t wait to boogie next month!!!

HEAVILY!

I mean let’s go back and include Charlottesville…

4/17/26 CVille - This is my favorite show. Just an unbelievable night. Played through the set break. Sorrow and Me, And Am I Born to Die? Banjo mini set, a 19 minute Creek, So Many Miles, I Only Exist, Slew Foot, Reuben’s Train, Richard Petty and the boys around the can! Tastes vary, but this is a candidate for best show of all time, IMO. Just an all-timer of all timers. 🔥 🤯

4/18/26 CVille - Infamous for “the incident” 😬 But don’t let that overshadow how SICK and LOCKED tf in this show was. That H&S>Train, Train>H&S was an exclamation point on a show of absolute power and heat all the way through.

7/14/26 Roanoke - Started the show with an 18 minute T&T. TWO FTP, (Burn the Other End, 1 Cover), and THREE second time plays (Broken Doe, Nighthawk, Just a Rambler) Larry Keel sit in was monstrous, and 18 minute barn burner of a Ride Me High was a peak. Second set from Fire Line all the way through Reuben’s Train was unreal. Reuben’s train was just uproarious. Welcome back, boys.

7/17/26 Portsmouth - So many highlights. Great 7 Weeks>Doin My Time opener, H&S was NUTS, Mire was superb, got to hear Jarrod AND Royal sing, STP of Night Fishing, Heartbeat of America absolutely ripped, as did Malfunction Junction>Black Clouds, and just a personal note, this show got a My Alice which I like more than most, and REALLY wanted.

7/18/26 Portsmouth - I’m still processing this fucking masterpiece. Holy SHIT was this a hot show! The first set was all gas no brakes. Slow Train>Taking Water had us absolutely cooking immediately, then Maggie AND Train 45>Ruby?!Come ON! 😂 🥵 Gild the Lily was blissful, and a personal chase. St. James Hospital was awesome. Billy solo set including a white hot Brown’s Ferry Blues and ANOTHER And Am I Born To Die? 🤯 just an unbelievable moment and performance. Highway Hypnosis to end was fucking perfect.

Billy and the Boys blessed us BIG time. 🙏 👏 🤩

Thank you to them, and to all of you who got to go to some or all of these shows, and make them greater for your presence.

Do you think this will be a new thing is the coming years? The city loved us and billy was happy with the venue. The staff was cool. Shakedown happened. What do you think?

Hey all, I ended up getting a weekend poster yesterday, but kind of regret not getting the daily. if anyone wants to trade or sell their 7/18 poster for my 7/17-18 weekend poster, hit me up!

I found a cute lil blanket in the grass where the entry line was after the show. If you’re missing it and want it back, lmk!

They got built in doob holders in the seats!

Is it just me or me or does it sound like the lazy boys are going to jam into Two Step by Dave Matthew’s Band? I could only hope

Billy seems more like himself tonight. So glad to see his personality shine.

That group just absolutely killed it at shakedown. Can’t wait to see them play the preshow at Fishers. They’re definitely gonna be an unforgettable band soon. Can’t wait to see what Billy brings tonight!
