In 1971, the Grateful Dead performed at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester over six nights – February 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, and 24. Billy Strings will present The Deja Vu Experience on FANS and The Relix Channel on those same nights, 50 years later, with a six-night livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a nod to those historic shows, Billy Strings will perform on these same dates as the Grateful Dead did, adding an aire of deja vu to the run of streams, in hopes of tapping into the musicianship and fearlessness that the Dead <\/a>did 50 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like the Dead, Billy Strings has the potential to unlock the improvisational boundaries of music and psychedelia in a familiar yet unique way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 1971 shows,<\/a> the Grateful Dead conducted\u00a0ESP Experiments<\/a>, prompting Deadheads in the audience to focus on imagery shown by the band and telepathically send the imagery to a test subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Deja Vu Experiment is aiming to similarly tap into a sense of clairvoyance and togetherness by asking the streaming audience to use their minds to collectively \u201csee\u201d and send imagery to special guest receivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerts in the age of streaming beg fans to transport their mind; to feel connected to a live performance when we cannot physically be together. This experiment is not scientifically backed, rather, a hypothesis that the collective mind has the power to tap into extrasensory perception and manifest connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets to February 19, 20, 21, and 23 are\u00a0on sale now<\/a>. February 18 + 24 are FREE on\u00a0The Relix Channel<\/a>, exclusively on Twitch. A portion of proceeds will benefit\u00a0The Rex Foundation<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Backline<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
