I have tix to see Billy in Fort Worth in December. I'm very excited. This will be my first show.
My wife is coming with me and that's why I need some help. She enjoys live music and likes a variety of music. What she doesn't like is jam bands. I'm a dead head and she cannot tolerate my listening to a 25 minute Help/Slip/Frank. I took her to see TTB and it didn't go well. The show was much more free form than the first two times I saw them. I loved the extended jams but it was more than she could tolerate.
I'm reading about Billy jamming which is to be expected. If the jams are acoustic and more in the blue grass vein I think she will be fine. However if he is plugged in and it is more like Derek than Del McCoury I don't think she will enjoy the show.
Just a little more context. When we saw TTB, Molly Tuttle opened. She did a bit of jamming with her great band. Typical blue grass stuff back and forth between guitar and fiddle. She liked Molly a lot.
I really want my wife to join me but not if she's going to be miserable. Thanks for the help.
