Anybody on here going to the Billy Strings concert in Austin this weekend?

---

Yep. Tickets for both the Moody Center and Moody Theater tomorrow.

---

I did the entire Texas run. Fort Worth show was great, especially the second set and encore. Saturday big Moody was off the charts in the PIT.

I was disappointed with the ACL Live show considering they did the same style sit down show there last year of mostly all old bluegrass standards.

They sounded great but I was hoping for a regular old rager.

Four more months til St Augustine.

I agree on both Sat and Sunday. Tow completely different experiences. We were in the Pit both nights and Sat was amazing. Watched that show on Nugs again last night.

I have excepted that the Sunday Moody show is for Billy. He just loves that old Bluegrass that he grew up with and honoring that music. I agree with you as far as wanting to see him tear down that place but appreciate it as well.

Anybody see Lords of Portland Saturday in Austin. My regret was not making that show with the conflict when a buddy had an extra ticket. If anybody doesn't know that is the name Portugal the Man uses when they play a small venue. They played what used to be The Parrish and fits about 400. Apparently it was amazing. Oh well can't make them all.

Ha I'm half way through watching the first set of Saturday on nugs as we speak.

My second show ever was December 2021 at ACL Live and it was a normal show. I realize they've grown a lot and things have changed since but me and my crew were leaning towards getting a regular show.

Just a minor complaint and I'll take any Billy I can get. The floor was extremely over crowded for the Sunday show too but it's all gravy!

Anybody score Phish Sphere tickets? Was like 700 in the queue but lucked out and grabbed 2 seats in the upper section for the final show on 5/2. Very, very stoked for this one. It's definitely a bucket list item for me.

Caught both nights in Austin in June after a 22 year gap between shows for me. They still sound incredible after 4 decades.

Had some friends get shut out of Phish Sphere and some pull some GA floors. I too was at those Austin Phish shows after a 9 year gap and they killed both nights.
