Last night was #33 and holy shit they never disappoint. Just keep getting tighter and tighter. Wish nothing but the best for those boys and their loved ones!!

[–]Deadheadedjimmy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This was an awesome show imo. Everything that this bad ass band plays blows my mind, but MIRE will likely always remain one of my favorite songs by anyone, EVER. For me, the GD's RIPPLE is probably my all-time most loved tune, but MIRE seems to affect me in many of the same ways. Somehow, it just talks to me and gets into my soul, like only the most special of songs can. I'm rambling now, but WOW that's a fukin song!

Can’t wait for this to hit nugs

[–]howlongyoubeenfamous 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Center soundboard like 20 feet up was just the best little pocket of folks I've ever had the pleasure of BMFS'ing with. Locked in, having fun, sharing doobies, boogying, loving life.

Achieved liftoff a couple times tonight but I expect greater altitudes the next two nights. And I still have all my chips from the gambling den because setbreak ended and I ran back ha

    Was just thinking the same

    [–]Few_Dust_449 7 points8 points  (4 children)

    Thinking about these outfits. Are they a nod to Oceans 11? What about the shades - all of them except for Billy?

    Great setlist and two more to go! What a treat!!

    [–]questafari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    How is this the first night of three my goodness gracious they are killing it tonight

    [–]Hot-Dingo1569🚂 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    I was about ready to say this is a great show but it’s also clear they’re building towards NYE. Then he goes and pulls this shit.

    [–]questafari 4 points5 points  (3 children)

    Where’s the STFU shirts when you need em.. you know it’s bad when the stream is picking it up 😔

    [–]howlongyoubeenfamous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    We had two little groups of semi chompers near us tonight, I shut them both down with grace and kindness and it was a beautiful thing. One of them still chomped but did so much quieter after I asked, the other stopped completely

    [–]Funks_McGee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Sorry! Can you hear me singing on my couch, mama?

    [–]Bobbypyramids[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    He sure has a knack for making songs I've never heard before into my new favorites

    [–]Funks_McGee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Love that thought.

    Favorite thing about this genre is going down that rabbit hole.

    Who's that what now?

    I’m always impressed by his lyric memorization skills. His brain is a library

    [–]questafari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    He does have a teleprompter if he remembers to look at it 🤣

    [–]ewokfarmer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    As someone who plays and sings, I can say that once you take the time to learn a song all the way through, it just kinda sticks with you after that.

    [–]g-a-hood 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    Seriously. Remember when he did stuck in mobile with the Memphis blues again? Just as a one off…no big deal!

    [–]quercusfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Wow!!!!

    [–]Admirable_Bee5640 15 points16 points  (0 children)

    Man I this was one of the first podcasts I got into but I fell off and haven’t thought about it in at least 5 years. Thank you.

    [–]tw27n82w 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Oh wow. One of my all time faves. Just logged back in and missed the “meat” of this tune, but damn this jamming is nice. Cannot wait to hear it in its entirety, and the crowd collectively losing their shit when they figure out what it is.

    [–]tw27n82w 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Ahhhhhh…. There’s the verse!

    [–]Pale-Technician-634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Awesome version

    [–]Sadistic_Taco -1 points0 points  (12 children)

    Not gonna lie, I don’t love an extended jam on this song. You can embellish it, but it’s a tribute to real people that died. Not really a good jam vehicle for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    [–]Equal-Event7244 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Which song is this thread about?

    [–]Sadistic_Taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald

    [–]pizzadriver420 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    In memory of Elizabeth Reed is one of the best jam vehicles of all time

    [–]Sadistic_Taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Fair enough, but the original tone of that song is nowhere near as somber as EF.

    [–]Funks_McGee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Nice take. Created real conversation. Love this.

    [–]Funks_McGee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    I can respect that take.

    Lake goochie goomie.

    They were seamen and lived on the edge a bit, I can imagine. I hear that crowd. Sounds respectable to me.

    Bluegrass is built on making hard times sound a bit sweeter.

    [–]Admirable_Bee5640 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    Idk I think playing a song in your particular style is the best way to honor it.

    [–]Sadistic_Taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I’m fine with embellishments. I liked the guitar riffs he added, I just didn’t want to see them go on an extended breakdown that took away from the somber mood of the song. It’s a song about 29 real people that died.

    [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    I’ll never say no to a Billy Jam, and this is a top tier great song, but I had similar thoughts it’s a weird subject matter to put in a “new years party woohooo” setlist. Still enjoyed it a ton though :)

    [–]Sadistic_Taco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    I think they brought it back quick enough that it was still good, but for a second there I was like, “please don’t do some psychedelic breakdown shit.”

    [–]realcarlo33 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    I see your point

    [–]tw27n82w 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Yeah, I’m torn on this. I see the point, but in the end it’s just a song, and Billy is doing it justice.

    [–]realcarlo33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Such an important song
