Reed Mathis is a SF bass player. Tea Leaf Green is where I first heard him. Seen him with Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey too. I THINK I did anyways. What I am looking forward to is seeing him with the Golden Gate Wingmen.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

Went to the Billy and the Kids show last night at the 9:30 club and was truly amazed!! Bill seems to be having a great time with "the kids". This was the first show in a real long time that we got a true encore (2nd encore if you look up the set list).
The bed had finished their encore (Black Muddy River), left the stage, house lights were coming on and house music had just started...crowd was still going wild, so Bill and kids came back on for another encore. They played one song (Bertha) and the "kids" took off their bass/guitar, but don't you go anywhere, Bill stands up yells out what song is next (Big Railroad Blues)and off we go for another treat.
Show started @8:30, two sets, two encores...and I believe it was a well past mid-night when the 2nd encore was over.
FYI - Reed Mathais is the bass player...he's the bass player from Tea Leaf Green and yes, you need to check out their music.

I don't remember the last time the house music and lights got the beat down by an encore. Usually, and by that I mean ALWAYS, they come up and it's time to finish that beer and hit the road.

Second encore started at 12:00am! I was also amazed that the power of yelling and whooping brought back the band. When the house lights went up, After Midnight came on as the house music. Then it was like someone ripped the needle off the record and it was back on. Bam! This was an incredibly impressive performance. Jams were long and frequent and had a real strong drive behind them for the most part. All of the Kids killed it! Loved the Night they Drove ole Dixie Down sing along. Can't wait for this one at Lockn'

The band was really engaged with the crowd and really having fun. There were a lot of high fives between band members. What an excellent night

I almost started a thread about Billy & the Kids. I knew I was going to Lockn' when I saw SCI on the ticket, and everything else was just for the experience. I was (and still am) a novice re: Grateful Dead music/personalities/'culture', but I've listened and learned a lot in the past couple months.
And, man, I watched that same show that you linked and was blown away. I'm secretly (or maybe not so secretly, now) thinking that their set may be better than any SCI set. In any case, after watching the video I realized just how epic my first Lockn' is going to be.
Here is a link to the full set:
