Billy K is gonna have eat his Wheaties is all I can say.

Sticking to his roots and what his Dad schooled him on. My opinion only of course. The HI party will be fun.

Pre-recorded or live, it's all on video so what difference does that really make?
I figure I'm suckered in to buying one night, with the ability to watch it for a few days after.

Tom Hamilton strikes me as the guy at the party in the center of the living room who's always got the "best" story about everything, every time. While he bogarts the coke tray.

Both are talented musicians, but I think I'll hang in the kitchen... maybe rummage thru the cabinets and find Strings a wet washcloth.

Geez you guys, can't people
Geez you guys, can't people just have fun playin' music and branch out and do new things? Dang.
I first saw Billy Strings at Targhee in August of 2018 and then a few times (at least 3) since when he came to Salt Lake. Just freaking amazing. He's been mixing in a Dead tune here and there, but earlier this year, Billy did a six-night run at the Capitol Theatre in February to commemorate the Dead's 6 night run 50 years ago. His interest in the Dead's music is well-known and has blossomed. I don't think Billy Strings needs to earn any additional pedigree to continue his exploration, just 'cause some folks are late to the party and unaware of his past association.
Obviously he wants to honor their music. Sounds like he just wants to have fun, and not hear a lot of BS, from his fans or others.
He's a young lad, and I imagine he'll be heading back to his bluegrass roots with occasional forays like this for S & G's. Looking forward to the future endeavors. The sky's the limit. Actually, space!
Enjoy it all!!! Peace out!
From the release in January -
FANS and The Relix Channel on Twitch have partnered with Billy Strings for ‘The Deja Vu Experiment,’ a six-night livestream event that will take place at Port Chester, N.Y.’s legendary Capitol Theatre. The streams will take place Feb. 18-21, 23 and 24. The dates were chosen to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead’s February 1971 performances at the venue, which took place on the same exact dates.
At the shows in 1971, the Grateful Dead conducted ESP Experiments, which consisted of “prompting Deadheads in the audience to focus on imagery shown by the band and telepathically send the imagery to a test subject.” (Quote via the event’s description.) A virtual version of such an experiment will be conducted during ‘The Deja Vu Experiment.’
The first and final nights of the event (Feb. 18 and 24) will be streamed for free on The Relix Channel on Twitch. The remaining nights (Feb. 19-21, 23) are available for pay-per-view on FANS. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Rex Foundation and to Backline.
“The Grateful Dead’s 6-night run of shows at The Capitol Theatre in February 1971 were a singular event in the 95-year history of the theater,” said Capitol Theatre owner and Relix publisher Peter Shapiro. “In 1971 the theater hosted Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Eric Clapton and a who’s who of American rock and roll legends, but it was the Dead’s run of shows that Winter that came to define the theater’s legacy.”
“We have been thinking for a while about how best to mark the 50th Anniversary of those iconic shows,” Shapiro continued. “Obviously we can’t celebrate with us all together but the virtual livestream technology does feel fitting given that the original 1971 shows experimented with ESP and in an effort to expand human connections and the music experience. Inviting Billy to perform the same 6-dates (Feb 18-24) that the Dead played in 1971 was in our mind from the beginning, more than a year ago. He personifies the idea of taking genres of music like Bluegrass and Rock and Roll and pushing their boundaries into new areas, in a similar way that Jerry Garcia did 50 years ago. I am super excited for what is going to happen, it feels like a good moment to have a Deja Vu Experiment.”
