The unfinished midwestern basement just gives off all the vibes. What a moment.

[gillmane]

The Sublime poster, Star Wars dvd display and unfinished basement really gives it that authentic Billy Strings feel

[mikestaub]

The level of talent in this room is insane. What a special moment in time.

Tell me you’ve seen Billy Strings in concert? Greatest EVENT of my life. I’m 35 years old and listen to music all day / every day and Billy showed me the impossible. It was the greatest concert I’ve ever seen 3 songs in. By the time he got to set 2 me and my friends couldn’t stop saying “wtf is happening” “how is he doing this?? This isn’t possible…” GO SEE HIM IF YOU LOVE MUSIC HE WILL TRANSCEND THE HEAVENS UPON YOU 😅

I like how everyone looks completely different from one another, like music is what brought them together

[michaelporter]

Every one of those guys is a player. Awesome.

[TruthScrotum]

Bro what the hell. THIS should teach everyone a huge lesson about life. There's billy, in this basement with a bunch of random local "no-names", and all of these cats are WORLD FUCKING CLASS musicians. Its literally insane. The banjo. The guy playing the slide on his lap, I have no idea how he was spitting such fast licks with a technique like that. The mandolin player. I mean, all of them. Just world class chops that take years and years, as well as a certain amount of innate ability, to cultivate. Impressed is an understatement. Such unassuming brilliance.

Love me a good old Midwest unfinished basement bedroom jam session. Feels like home. BMFS.

[WildcatWarrior]

Such a great example of someone being both born with exceptional talent AND growing up in the right circumstances that said talent can be brought out.

[tkreitler]

Truly amazing glimpse in Billy's life before stardom. This had to be close to the time things started to really take off for him. Also, it's very surprising to see a group of such talented musicians at a basement jam.

[jarrodfranco]

Love the sublime poster in the background. Billy is truly phenomenal as are the musicians he surrounds himself with.

[christophermeyer]

I can’t wait to watch this over and over again, anytime I want. This is one of those…

[Bigdavemusic]

I'm going this Saturday first show, Stage Front. I honestly can't wait. I'm 46yrs old been playing bluegrass since I was 9 and I feel excited like a kid to get to see Billy and his band play.

[jgibel]

Having a Dobro player in the basement is next level

[shizzle]

Glad he made it out of the basement and is sharing his amazing talent with the world!! 😁💙

[chrisdaniel]

Back in the day in NH myself and all our friends had unfinished basements we would hangout in. This is awesome

[AdrianPenny]

YES. The internet delivered today. Thank you you Billy and friends. This is almost as good as the video that got me hooked on dust in a baggy.

[TheConfusedWumbologist]

You know when you hear a band playing out of their basement. It's gonna be good.

[minnietrout]

I never get tired of hearing this ♥️❤️♥️

[midnitelitecompany]

Just such a solid piece of music by every measure. We will look back on this song and it will stand the test of absolute time.
