"absolutely insane set 2"

"Religious experience. One of those “we’re all one” moments. All Falls Down had me feeling like I was pulled down into hell and resurrected again. One of a kind like every Billy show. One Love"

"Best Creek ever. That’s all."

"Show of the year, argue with a wall. Felt like I needed a cigarette after that Les Claypool sit-in and I don’t even smoke, and that was before the Creek sandwich."

"I mean... Billy got one of my heroes to rename a classic song of his own, to honor the great Billiam...that is pretty amazing to me! These two Oakland shows were magical!! Right before these shows, Billy addressed the entire world, whether he likes it or not, he is the leader of the goats! He insists his gatherings are a safe space for all to rock and roll safely and kindly! THIS is true leadership that inspires us all to be better versions of ourselves! thank you Les Claypool and thank you Billiam Apostle Strings! Mr Strings, thank you for being such a great role model for adults and children both! I Love Us! Happy Birthday"

"Loved the first time they did Over the Falls and I love it again . It’s so trippy "

"Been to a LOT of concerts - all kinds, all genres - over the years, and this one sits comfortably among the best of them. A God-tier Creek Sandwich, and Alex Hargreaves’ solos in particular, had the whole room levitating. Haven’t felt energy like that at a show in a very long time. "

"The back half of the second set, namely Meet Me at the Creek > Pyramid Country > Dusty Miller > Must Be Seven > Meet Me at the Creek Reprise, was one of the great jams of this tour. Really special performance. Add in the opener to the second set, Cassidy, and this was a special show. "

"Billy was a race car driver was much more prolific than a GD cover bustout. Keep the Dead covers on the shelf where they belong. Puts Bill and the boys into too much of a box. The Dead had their time and then there was Dead and Co and even now an unyielding onslaught of bands giving their own interpretations of GD tunes. I’d rather have a MMATC sandwich and a Primus cover. "

"Blew my mind "
MJ — 10/5/2026
"When he broke the long Dead-cover drought back in Athens earlier this year, it was such a heavy, emotional tribute to Bobby that you almost wondered when—or if—those songs would just naturally find their way back into regular rotation. Dropping it as a massive second-set opener in Oakland, strictly for the love of the groove and without the weight of a memorial, felt like a huge milestone. It proved that these tunes are still a living, breathing part of the band's DNA, ready to be busted out and jammed on purely for the joy of it. The torch isn't just being preserved; it's actively running! "

"Meet me at the Deli WOW"
Alabama Bound — 10/5/2026

"What a weekend! Bringing out Les and the first bob/dead cover in like 5 years, wow. ??????"
Great night in Oaktown — 10/4/2026
"Cassidy was cool & a nice nod to Bob Weir & the Grateful Dead. I am glad, however, that Billy has chosen to hardly ever play Dead songs. They just dont need to go there. There's more than enough other music to play without covering the Grateful Dead's music."

"Wow Royal wow"
Cobb — 10/4/2026
"Insane. Bringing out Les, breaking out Cassidy, and a double Creek Sandwich to finish with? Blessed to have witnessed this from the pit"
