Billy Strings :: Grateful Dead Medley

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead’s six-night run at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, Billy Strings recently held a series of crowdless performances billed as the “Deja Vu Experiment.”

The Grateful Dead famously conduced the “ESP Experiments” at these shows, “prompting Deadheads in the audience to focus on imagery shown by the band and telepathically send the imagery to a test subject.” (From the Capitol Theatre website). Strings also asked viewers to project their own images of Leftover Salmon’s Vince Herman with questionable results.

Anyway, all that to say, that, for many the highlight of it all was: “Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin’s Tower/Brokedown Palace.”

All of THAT to say, watch this:

Greg Brown Live For Acoustic Guitar Magazine

From the video’s Youtube page:

“He’s the last American troubadour, a complex mix of Midwestern common sense and bohemian Zen appeal inhabiting a poet’s soul. In some ways, there are two Greg Browns: tender and tough, acoustic and electric, funny and sorrowful, cynical and filled with an unquenchable thirst for life. One careens down country roads in the dead of night in a broken-down farm truck, no headlights, a bottle of Wild Turkey wedged between his thighs and pioneering country-star Jimmie Rodgers blaring on the stereo. The other is a sunny child balanced on his grandmother’s knee, sampling her canned goods and drinking in a cool summer breeze.

“I know that I look at life and I see a lot of different colors, a lot of different moods,” says the singer and songwriter when pressed on the subject. “I do see a lot of causes for hope and I do see a lot of causes for despair. I see things that make me proud to be a human being on this planet, and I see so many other things that make me just appalled. All of that gets into my songs. On a particular Friday, I might feel quite hopeful, and by Tuesday I might be feeling that we’re completely screwed. I manage to find balance there between the two.

“But I can attest to being one person,” he adds with a laugh.
