"best weekend ive sinc following the Grateful Dead in the 90's!! ????????"
I’m Still Here — 9/6/2026
"If I didn’t go to freak fair, I probably would’ve stayed home that night gotten baked and listened to the SMFG vinyl. Baked having Billy play it person was a treat. You can tell Burn the Other End and Lucid Daydreams will become monsters. Wish I Wanted To has a Lumpy vibe. A really fun listen and clearly Billy was loving it. Second set brought heat with more people having familiarity to the songs; but Mire, Last Thing On My Mind and Lilly > Hollow with Salmon were legit. "

ORBE — 9/1/2026
"Freak Fair was incredible. What a production. What a city. What a dream. When that sun sat low Friday evening, making the entire fair ground glow in this majestic golden hour orange that permeated into the blue sky above us, I had to stop and take it all in. The ferris wheel far off in the faded yellow dusty distance and Billy pouring his heart out with full moon behind me. I'd pay a boat load more to experience that again. thanks Billy"
