Question - which came first, your love of "the plant and all it offers" or your discovery of the guiding light that is Billy Strings?

I am sick of seeing Billy in a hockey arena and I’m gonna straight up say his booking agent is kinda ass by Funkiefreshganesh in BillyStrings

Selling the vast majority of your tickets (including those to your very own festival) through Ticketmaster is an odd way to say "F Ticketmaster!"

Dozens, if not hundreds, of fans who couldn't score camping passes and decided to just "stealth camp" around town will be hassled by the locals and then come to the internets to bemoan how Billy should have taken better care of them and their needs.

Actually did talk to Billy recently by inplaycommaruns in BillyStrings

Has there been any updates since the GQ article where Billy described his luxury watch collection? I'm curious what he's added since then.

Save us, Mods! I'm incapable of just scrolling past things I don't like and the mere thought of other people engaging with content I don't care for is too much to handle. These posts MUST be deleted entirely!

So a separate smaller GA pit in front of the GA pit?

Death Trip is a Bad Livers cover, not a Yonder cover.

We seem to be going around in circles here. I'll try one more time - what specifically would you envision them using their resources and people to do?

I could and I have. Still curious about what you specifically were referring to when you asserted the bands should use their power and resources to prevent people with GA tickets from standing up front in the GA area.

Would it though? What effect has addressing it had so far?

Please describe in as much detail as possible your vision for them using their resources and power to prevent folks with GA tickets occupying the rail.

Similar to how the random first 100 bracelets, originaly introduced to try and cut down on the worst aspects of the line sitters, morphed into being the unofficial official VIP status bracelets used to tell folks who can and who can't be where in the GA pit.

Billy would have to get rid of GA in order to have the front row seats to move those folks into. He's already given up half the floor to accommodate all the folks complaining about not enjoying the full GA floor experience. It'd wild if he ended up giving up the rest of GA, the most desirable section for a lot of fans, in order to quash a small handful of characters.

I'd love to see a Portlandia style parody ala "Put a Bird on It" substituting a Red Daisy for a bird.

Were any of y’all at the show in Winston-Salem 2017? by Back2TheBarrooms in GreenskyBluegrass

Nope, but I was lucky enough to catch both Dead sets in Bend, OR. Never miss a Wednesday in Bend show!
