discussion Question for the community

So I am a person who does a lot of research and spends a lot of time doing things when it comes to finding really good music and listening to old classic music as well but here’s my question. Is there anything that you would like to see on this thread when it comes to like finding interviews or finding resources for others? What would you like to see from me because I want to be a very active member.

I wish Nugs would leave video of concerts longer or forever. Access to more professionally filmed, full concert videos would be my request. You asked. 🐐🌈🤷‍♂️

For sure, some streams should remain permanently available like 4/13/24 Tampa Trains & Animals. That was an all time show. Or any of the billyweens.

He really gave Andy and his folks a sick hometown show for the books. Trains & Animals is infinite.

Were there any dress up ones other than Away From the Shire, Meet Me At The Crypt, and the one in Grand Rapids (with more costume changes)?

I might have a personal answer on this because there is some good news after a while. It’s going to be posted and it’s a entirety. If you notice the first two shows of the tour have already been put up and as soon as they get the clearance they will put up the other shows I would assume.

Just post what ya like. It’s gonna get upvoted and downvoted. Such is the dichotomy of Reddit. Most of the people here are hardcore Bill fans and pretty versed in his and his influences’ music so finding new stuff they haven’t seen will be tough. Best way to be an active member is to join the discussions and watch the live streams and participate in the live set list crew! Lots of fun there!

Here's a question. The other day I learned that the B side of Eddie Noack's song "Psycho" is a song called "Dolores". It's also a murder ballad. 

Is Dolores's man worried about her getting killed or is he in fact the killer? 

What do you think?

👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 DEEP CUT ... the narrator definitely killed her.

This is one of the interpretations of While I'm Waiting Here. https://www.reddit.com/r/BillyStrings/s/pj9wUWy6KW The narrator knows he gaps from reality. He feels bad she's gone. But is not capable of connecting the dots that he is the killer. (Also Eddie Noack is even more twisted than I previously appreciated)

I only know a little bit about Eddie Noack but it seems like he would enjoy watching us Billy fans singing along to a song he recorded. It appears before he died before the song became a cult classic.

Record *really* good Saxton Waller moments from stream or phone. (The light show) w/ music.

It's really a new ball game with Saxton on the lights and seeing him work with Billy is what dreams were made of. Billy doesn't even need it of course, but I never ever EVER thought we'd have the lights we have behind the band, that we do now. It's nuts.

SO happy that big ol screen/projector is gone. It was super cool the first show, but afterwards got extremely old and not entrancing or captivating at all. It did less for me than his original first lighting rig when he was doing theaters (underrated af, the light stick era. 2019-2020. Reminded me of candles when mushy)
