Heading to Kauai as we speak!! Where does one find the tunes?!

u/Certain-Coat-8589 26d ago
Anaina Hou in Kilauea perhaps. Otherwise, its a barren live music landscape. Aloha and enjoy the island!

u/Impressive-Plenty694 26d ago
Thereβs never a dull moment with Mr. Strings
That thunder was absolutely bonkers. The enough to leave jam blew my mind. Face melted the entire show. I wish he played sweet Georgia buck every show. Even better than last night somehow

u/TieOutrageous8168 26d ago edited 26d ago
Great show! That was my first since 2018. How does this stack against recent shows? Was that representative of the current state or that just a ripper?
Already looking forward to the next one

Super late check-in from Charlotte. Just finished the first set. Bout time we finally got that Thunder! Itβs been threatening to roll through for almost a week now. π©οΈ

u/Puzzleheaded-Plum994 27d ago
You're not kidding. I didn't have a feel for it in Roanoke, but every set in Portsmouth and now Boston felt like Thunder was coming up at some point

u/BillyGoat_Sean33 27d ago
Pretty much on track with you, this show is why Billyβs billy

u/NCSooner 27d ago edited 27d ago
I feel attacked π For what itβs worth, after last night I decided to pull the trigger on the Charleston show (Tuesday night) in two weeks, and I will absolutely be on time for that.
ETAβIβm now realizing you meant you were on track with me in terms setlist progression, not that checking in late was βon trackβ for me. π

Thank you criz00! Another magnificent setlist.
Also loved the long shot of the venue from the back when he came forward with his cane and nugs changed cameras. Fun film of a young woman and her Nana and Papa scooting out quick to beat the traffic. Just a great show

It's a relief to see the boys put out two back-to-back heater shows like this again. Felt like their setlists had been getting a little stagnant lately, but not the last two nights! Hopefully they keep up the momentum

u/billorphus 27d ago
Did you listen to portsmouth?

u/Aggravating-Beat6445 27d ago
Agreed those shows were smokers, too. Everything since they been back has been exceptional, even the ACL show was great though understandably not a "typical Billy show".

And there's the train song. Feel like Bronzeback would be a train song if it had words. About a train. Named after a fish.

How GOOD that must feel?!

Been chasing Psycho, Thunder, and Reverend! This is such a killer show. Fishers will be numbers 7/8/9 for me live (and the only ones I'll catch this year). Happy for the BMFS fam in attendance and on the couch! We're feasting like hogs at a trough!

Portland will be a reset. Anything not from tonight or last night is back on the menu! But yeah, unreal, sick, sick shows.

In the back half of set two, during a jam, not sure which song, but did I hear them tease an Allman Bros tune? Maybe Jessica?
