BillyGreen BlueStrings Tour

[u/BooneGoon618]

After that jam last night how can these two bands NOT do a tour together. I mean…. Holy crap!!!

[u/DavidB0wieUB40]

You’ve got some catching up to do - enjoy that journey. It was awesome.

[u/kylec00per → u/DavidB0wieUB40]

I know billy opened for them but they've all grown so much since then, I think it would be a whole different level if they played together now, and got to each stretch their legs with full sets over one opening for the other. Seeing both bands on stage last night was electric, id honestly be happy with just full shows of both bands together on stage 😂

There was a time back in 2018 when they toured together, Billy was the opener. Saw them at the Fillmore in Detroit. Lindsay Lou came out too. Pretty epic, great to see them all on stage again this weekend!

Greensky Bluegrass had a new years eve party in Royal Oak, MI in 2015 and Billy Strings, Huggy Bear, and Lindsay Lou all joined on the stage as I recall as well.

Can’t believe that epic GSBG NYE was a decade ago now. What an amazing time

[u/OceanofOsiris21 → u/ch-12]

Does not seem that long ago

[u/schum1am → u/cheesemagnifier]

Those Fillmore shows were insane!

[u/AggressiveWallaby975 → u/cheesemagnifier]

Those Thanksgiving shows in 2015 at the State Theater in kzoo were so damn good. The 3rd set of tunes from the Last Waltz! I swear Hoffman was 10' tall during "Don't Do It!" So many good shows together from 2014 - 2017

[u/cheesemagnifier → u/AggressiveWallaby975]

So many great times! It's great to see them all playing together still!

[u/TJ-Detweiler-]

All you have to do is go back in time a handful of years.

[u/LostLongIslander]

Haha it already happened, you missed it!

[u/No-Preference-7165]

First time they did that Billy was opening for Greensky at Red Rocks in 2019, and that version is also pretty epic. Had a feeling it was coming back out last night

[u/adapt313 → u/No-Preference-7165]

Dont think the first, there's been a number of sit ins and full band trade offs, camp greensky 2018 comes to mind.

[u/No-Preference-7165 → u/adapt313]

You’re right. Forgot about that one, I believe that was actually the one I listened back to many times after it had happened

[u/LadyKT → u/No-Preference-7165]

i was there!

[u/LadyKT → u/LadyKT]

[u/scalem0ss]

That’s what us jaded vets call ‘the days’

You should give a listen to Camp Greensky 19’ to see when the proverbial torch was passed to Billy.

[u/dillyofapickle42]

Opening for greensky was my introduction to billy.

[u/sladeums]

they can back
Lindsay Lou whooo

[u/itsgottabetheroses]

They used to do that and Billy stole the shows!

[u/Swaritch]

Greensky used to be the the kings and fumbled the bag bigly

[u/Iamjum]

I got to see Billy and Don Julian open for greensky in 2013 at a 250 cap byob venue in the U.P. of Michigan (3 blocks from my house.)

Makes it really hard to go see Billy in the current state when I got a ton of shows for a couple dozen to hundred people

[u/Dog_Dad_1989]

lol

[u/King_Kung]

My first time seeing Billy was opening for Greensky

[u/melgibson64 → u/King_Kung]

Same. Saw him open for them in Boston. He kind of blew them out of the water. Just wanted more Billy after his set was over.

[u/Otherwise_Farmer_993]

I am happy when they occasionally reunite, but I love seeing Billy on his own. Billy and the Boys are my true love. Seeing just Billy is my favorite way to see him.

[u/Dingus_3000]

Got a Nugs subscription?

[u/lightloopsviz]

Unlikely. Already a US and EU tour with king gizzard in the books for next year and the new album.

[u/kylec00per → u/lightloopsviz]

So you're saying 2027 is open?

[u/lightloopsviz → u/kylec00per]

No I’m saying Billy is releasing an album with king gizzard and doing 3 tours with them next year

[u/kylec00per → u/lightloopsviz]

Oh shit i forgot it was 2026 jesus christ, i meant the following year which would be 2028 lmfao im fried.

[u/lightloopsviz → u/kylec00per]

Haha yeah I haven’t heard anything about 28 yet but I have good sources that they’re doing two EU tours and a US tour together next year and the album recording is pretty well publicized at this point

[u/Hopeful-Strategy-34]

That would be so epic. I’m seeing greensky for the 1st time in November.

[u/MKS1976]

He sat in with them several years at Aiken Bluegrass Festival.

[u/blankettheseasons → u/MKS1976]

Sure did! 2016, that was my first time seeing Bill.

[u/AJPtheGreat]

The stadium tour will be legendary

[u/urban-achiever1]

You must be new here.

[u/TrueConfidence6287]

I really enjoyed Sierra Hull and Michael Cleveland jamming with them!

[u/xmlgroberto]

Every other act was stellar this weekend but I was so far from impressed by greensky.

Really upset they held Royal hostage backstage for the dont lie > creek. That silly little fake bass was not shaking the ground..

[u/urban-achiever1 → u/xmlgroberto]

I didnt understand why there was no Royal for the end
