"I had never heard Billy play live before this show. I cannot stop listening to the 2025 tour. I'm completely blown away by every show.. I know I'm late to the party but and better late than never. BMFS!"

"Just a casual barn-burner in GGP. That Thunder!"

"Billy certainly brought the energy and set the tone for Night 1. His band got more enthusiastic applause than Dead & Company. Such a great band!!!"

"Set of the weekend! "

"Billy was a bad ass throughout, as usual. I am going to see him for the first time on my birthday in my hometown Pittsburgh. He's already been rubbing elbows with some very respected musicians like Trey, Grisman, Carlos Santana, Billy Kreutzman, Les Claypool, Vince Herman,etc.. Not name-dropping for any reason other than acknowledging that for someone so young it's remarkable. Oh yeah. I was at the Phish shows in Michigan and when BMFS came out for his sit-in that place was bonkers for the hometown kid."

"Wow, I think that's the first time I heard Billy play pig in a pen but now I'm gonna need him and the boys to make that a regular!!!"

"There is something truly special about Billy and it resonates across all genres. Seeing him live brings out so much of his and the band’s genius. Everyone should experience it at least once!"

"Solid set from one Billy Strings! Shady Grove! Billy said he was nervous to be here, but you couldn’t tell as he proceeded to pick for the 75 minute set!"

"Was out there in the sea swaying and listening and thinking about how lucky we all were to be present in the park for your set - mama, mama many worlds we’ve come… and for the greater weekend. Back home in the hills of Va. now giving your set another listen over the cicadas and it’s the purest of goodness "

"This was killer "
Greg Hern — 8/6/2025 11:06:29 PM
"The audio inside GGP was crystal clear, at least where I was sitting by tower #3. Billy was spectacular all day. That Wharfrat later was simply gorgeous. Baggie really lit that place up. "

"The setlist itself was artful. Could sense the jitters, yet the groove was superb. Stellar showing."

"I don’t care what anyone says. Billy Strings is this generation’s Jerry Garcia. His VAST knowledge of music, his humbleness, his respect for other musicians, his willingness to constantly learn and perfect his craft, and the fact he’s a bad ass who plays the absolute fuck out of everything he attempts are just a FEW of the reasons this man is BEYOND special. I love everyone who reads this and wish you all the very best in this existence we call life. "

"Hot damn, could not have asked for a better set to start the weekend off. Thank you Billy for absolutely delivering and carrying that bluegrass torch strong. Jerry and David are proud of ya! "

"Watching this show live was incredible holy cow what a start to the weekend"

"BMFS always kicks ass. A lot of Deadheads got their first exposure to Billy and his band. Loved his set and I felt like he was just getting warmed up after 75 minutes. Loved the nod to Jerry and the Wharf Rat was next level. "
Daniel Dwyer — 8/6/2025 6:37:12 AM
"Wow! First time, long time here! Couldn't have been more anticipation for musical notes to phil (on purpose) the air! BS and crew rocked the house! This show touched my heart. I will never forget this experience. "
Glenny B — 8/5/2025 6:05:19 PM
"Wouldn’t want to follow after y’all singed the joint! Damn, Boston needs some action SOON. "
Umple — 8/5/2025 5:21:11 PM
"Bravo!!"

"The term “passing of the torch” is way over used. But this show and the closing Wharf Rat were definitely a hand off from one generation to the next."
Greg Perry — 8/4/2025 9:05:15 PM
"Ripped that shit hard as usual. Keep up the good work "
