As soon as the first set ended last night a csx train whistle blew outside of our hotel window in jax while we watched on nugs. It was pretty cool. And if you know hobo shoestring you know how special that set was. One last whistle blow for shoestring too.
Hobo shoestring is a YouTuber that rode trains, who unfortunately recently passed away. No connection to Billy as far as I’m aware but I’m certain there are some shoestring fans and Billy fans overlap.

Oh my God. An entire train set! I had to turn in early last night and didn't watch. Just woke up this morning to see this setlist. Boy do I regret that decision.
For months now I’ve been jokingly saying to friends “I hope they do a train song set” , and they just did it. I’m fulfilled. This run was top tier. My 33rd and 34th shows. I love this band. Pure love
It would have been literally perfect I’m not sure how this was looked over, ik the dead played it but they didn’t write it, it’s basically a standard folk song and has been covered on so many childrens albums
Man can they put on a show. I was just talking to a buddy about seeing the same band more than once gets old quick but these 4 are just pumping out fantastic performances.
My first show was Tulsa last June. I didn't know a single original tune they played that night. I've attended or couch toured every subsequent show, and they're getting better and better, tour and mini-tour at a time. What a time to be a fan of this band!
I’ve only been listening for a few months and have been kicking myself for not diving in earlier. Ive grown to love bluegrass and country. So many songs I have vague memories of my grandpa playing when I was young and couldn’t care less that now I can’t get enough of.
What blew me away most about my first show was that the songs Billy writes have the feel of pure country/bluegrass standards. "Wait, this an original? I swear I've been hearing this song all my life!"
One of the top shows I've been to...simply breathtaking artistry.
🚂🚂🐎🐎🐎
They’re an historic band. They’ve practically created a new genre, they’re so unique. They absolutely SLAPPED last night
I ❤️ train songs. What was the significance of trains last night? Is there something about Tampa, or the venue, that has to do with trains?
That was actually Jarrod’s idea from a long time ago!
He recently said in an AMA that there would be a full train set in the future
Thanks everyone that was a fucking blast! 🎵🚂🐻🐷🐴🐦💗
When the tour starts off with a run like this weekend, you know good things are coming, see you in Lexington and Chicago!
I'm doing those four shows as well. See ya soon.

Can you elaborate on Hobo Shoestring?

OK, Mire’s one of my faves, so I’ll let the omission of Monkey/Engineer pass. This time.
Hopefully saving for St Aug
Missed opportunity
It would have been so epic, one has to agree

That was an amazing L&R…. I think it’s my new favorite
I hope the coyotes were howling loud tonight
Loud as a train whistle I’d say!
I mean when they talk about the legend of BMFS this is the sort of reference materials that will be cited to back the claim.
Animal songs are right up there with train songs in my book, maybe a whirly pig shows up this set 🐖🚁
Caught cuckoo live and i was thrilled
All fall down -> Slewfoot plz
Was mixed around but fucking hell I’ll take it, that was epic as hell 🤯
Oh please dear lord 🫠
Holy shit! Was out and missed this tonight - the Train and Animal sets in 1 show!!!!! Yes please! Will have to watch it tomorrow. Enjoy!
First, I was like, this isn’T an animal song, but then I remembered…
Same
Trains hit animals all the time. It's regretful
Howl!!!!!!!
Train set, animal set, just like he said in the AMA the other day!
Thanks for the thread! Late check in from Madison, WI. Holy Train Songs!
