Happy 80th Birthday Bill The Drummer!
Bill Kreutzmann, The lone surviving original member of the Grateful Dead, was born in Palo Alto, California on this date in 1946.
Kreutzmann assembled his Billy The Kids ensemble with Billy Strings and James Casey (RIP) in Hawaii for a late celebration of his 75th birthday. The pandemic-era “Grateful Mahalo” concerts were broadcast from Kauai.
This “Grateful Mahalo” version of “Sitting In Limbo” shows off why Kreutzmann is such a great drummer. He is able to provide a delicate touch to the Jimmy Cliff cover that helps accentuate Strings’ vocals in a way he did so many times for Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir.
🍻🎂 Raise a glass for Billy K!
