Ought to be one to catch. Got my DVR set.   https://twitter.com/acltv

Hopefully being on ACL will mean Mr. Apostel eases up on the EDM lightshow.  It's a distraction.

I watched this live. It will be interesting to see the edited version

I also watched the live taping. It was a great performance but not the best live show I've seen him and his band play. I think they were pretty nervous, which is understandable, it's a big step forward. I'll be watching again this weekend for sure! Curious which songs made the cut, the taping was almost two hours of music and he's only getting 15 minutes on the final version. I hope it's not bluegrass material, I love it when his band goes out there and his pedals get a proper workout! 

Wonder why only 15 minutes?. It's an hour-long show. 

I just saw him a few weeks ago at a large outdoor venue and he played almost all bluegrass stuff, not a ton of the "LSD stuff", as I heard him describe it once. 

P.S. - Just scored a 4th row center seat for James Taylor and Jackson Browne for tonight. 

The series is set to record on my DVR. Looking forward to this one.

 

Slick I could be wrong, it might be a 30 minute segment. I thought the show was only a half hour.

 

PS-Where did you see him play? I like the bluegrass stuff too, it's a nice treat when the bg peppers a set list, but if his band didn't dose it up I'd be bored with them pretty fast. I'm just partial to musical exploration and "lsd stuff" in general. 

His band will be on Jimmy Kimmel Monday night, too. The short time slot is more bluegrass-friendly. I'm guessing he'll hit JK with a Red Daisy.

Red Butte Garden. Sept 21st. The PNG of the setlist wouldn't load up. Off to see Jackson Browne and James Taylor or I'd play with it more.

Nice! I listened to the stream of that show :) Definitely some awesome bluegrass in there, but plenty of face melty tunes as well! Gotta love it!

Great ACL from both artists. Sarah is so good. Check out the group "I'm With Her" that she's in. What a talented trio.  

And yes Dise, another dynamite Billy show. 

Yeah, that's a keeper.  First look (and listen) for me with Sarah Jarosz.  Sweet.  Glad I checked her out instead of skipping right to Billy. 

And Billy and his band were on fire.

I thought it was nice that in addition to the shorter songs in the beginning, Billy got to do a long jammin' tune at the end to give a good representation of his shows. Not to mention the outstanding picking. 

Here's some more Sarah Jarosz with "I'm With Her."  Outstanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2xFAzPz6wk

Nice :) Sarah and Billy are on Sierra Ferrell's new album. 

Mark, if you like Sarah, you should definitely check Sierra Ferrell out  :)

Sixty minutes well spent, but really either of these guys should get a whole ACL episode for themselves.

Thanks Slick and Dise. Good stuff.

 

Called it!

So you are saying he is predictable? Jk

The hats, suits, and weird looks right into the camera were so unnatural. 

Yeah, they don't have much TV experience. And when have any musicians not been awkward on these types of appearances?

I thought the suits were a nice touch.  

They were hamming it up!   They are entertainers, after all.....I liked the show where the two Billys had their hair in buns, kind of like Mickey Mouse.....

fish, 99% of his songs are ten minutes too long for a tv spot, so yeah, that was an easy call. Plus, no pedals for his reluctant bluegrass fans. 

 

I loved the costumes and cheeky looks at the camera. Were they supposed to mean mug? Look super serious when they're singing a song about a flower? Anyhow, the superman costumes were already taken.

Billy just needs a Gram Parsons style Nudie suit.

More Billy. 3 night run in Asheville. Sold out, but streaming on Nugs (with a "special.") https://twitter.com/BillyStrings
