"I've been to 8 of the 9 Billy shows at Koka Booth, and this one was the best I've seen there. I was California Sober as I drove all my friends home, and I was so floored during most of the show that I just stood there in awe. The segue into Thunder was monstrous, and the whole venue was on their feet cheering during the whole of the song itself. Be Your Man>Thirst Mutilator>Hollow Heart was such an amazing high energy set closer! Mtn Girls is always so appropriate in NC as it was written by a North Carolina native, and of course the monster Turmoil and Tinfoil stole the show and took many fans' breath away. End of the Rainbow, what a perfect closer for the last set of an incredible 3-night run. And as stated by others, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was a major treat. Thanks again fellas, and if that's your last time at Koka Booth for a while, we loved the hell out of it!!"

"Picture it, Cary, 2025. I had 3 on the tongue in honor of Bicycle Day, and the boys came out firing on all cylinders. Thunder was pretty much a religious experience that seemed to last hours, but in a wonderfully peculiar way. By the time Turmoil and Tinfoil came on, I felt like I had lived through 3 lifetimes, and the boys were still playing one for the ages. They ended the night with an amazing End of the Rainbow and an all time rendition of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. There’s not a band on this entire planet I’d rather see at the moment. "

"Been to quite a few Billy shows now, and all of the Cary runs. This hands down was the best show I have ever been to. That thunder is the greatest live performance I have, and probably ever will see in my life. It was pure bliss. Just want to say thank you BMFS. You are a legend. "

"This was my 40th Billy show. This is 100% the best touring act in jam music. That encore….Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald. I’ve been waiting since I was 15 to hear that song done justice live. It was like watching Tony Rice rive from the grave. God bless Billy and the band! "

"What a show for bicycle day. Glad I got to catch all 3 nights. Truly the best band in the land!"

"Simply breathtaking and utterly stunning performance from Billy and the Boys! Red hot Thunder, Living Like, Turmoil and Rainbow in the same night? I attended with my son and feel like we witnessed a historical moment. And all that Doc Watson?! The entire run was simply beautiful. Thank you Billy and the Boys for the memories and thank you Andy and Nugs for so beautifully documenting this experience, from the bottom of my little bluegrass ??!"

"Had some of the most fun I’ve had in years this run! Had a blast on the left side of the pit in that big ole funky dance party all three nights."

"All these reviews and not a single mention of the Bronzeback. This show is so full of heaters that these fellas may have just slipped the greatest version of Bronzeback smack dab in the middle of the second set any no one even batted an eye. There is not a better show on the road right now. "
Reverend — 4/20/2025 6:35:21 PM
"Unreal night. End of the Rainbow to finish the second set then blessing the people with Eddie Fitz. Enough to make a grown man weep. Boys were in prime form and we are witnessing history. Thank you, nugs!"

"The boys delivered one of the best shows of this tour on Bicycle Day. I had to watch from home, but I still tripped my balls off. I don’t have the words to describe how much I love these guys. "

"Was there for all 3, might be my favorite three night run in six years. A lot of Doc Watson and heaters. Brought a first timer friend and said was best live performance he’s ever seen. The Edmund Fitzgerald encore surprise was spectacular. "
