funtodd : A Good Sign I've had some time now to reflect on last weekend's Phish shows from Merriweather. First of all, and most importantly, I had a great time. The whole weekend went smoothly. Traffic from Richmond wasn't too bad. Once we parked the car at the Sheraton, we happily spent the next two days on foot. The weather, while not perfect, wasn't anything to complain about. The thunder boomers somehow skirted around Columbia and hit Baltimore and DC. Last, but definitely not least, I spent the weekend [...]

Phish - Halley's Comet 5.28.11 - Bethel Woods Center For The Arts, Bethel, NY Finally, the boys let the comet fly again!

Trey and Mike prior to tonight's show, checking out the crowd from backstage. How can you not love these guys?

Phish - NICU, Cities 5.28.11 - Bethel Woods Center For The Arts, Bethel, NY What a difference a few tours makes! Just listen to the syncopation of Trey's guitar and Fishman's drums during this Cities jam! That tightness and fluidity between them is what made Phish so fucking killer during the '90's. We got a taste of that here and there in 2009, and from the 4th Of July onward, 2010 had many more moments of greatness. January 1st seemed like a breakthrough show in many ways, but this weekend, for the first time in years, [...]

newspeedwayboogie : This photo of the hardest working bands in 2010 got me thinking. Beginning in 1966, the Grateful Dead toured regularly for the next 29 years, until the summer of 1995. Around 2,300 shows. During that period, Jerry Garcia (in the many different incarnations of his band, The Jerry Garcia Band), played another 1,599 shows. That's a total of 3,899 shows that Garcia played during this 29 year period, or an average of 134 shows every year. 134 shows ever year, for 29 years. That's an average of over [...]

5.2.1992 - Cabaret Metro - Chicago, IL A nice little Reba from '92. Smokin show from the great city of Chicago. The Maze that follows is also one of my favorites. Setlist Link @ Phish.net Suggest you pick this one up.

2nd video. Description below.

The music isn't exactly the style that most of us here at The Butter Room enjoy most, but given that I grew up till I was 20 with this kid I had to post these two videos. I like it because of the guitar-driven, progressive and ambient feel that some of his music has. His name is Tosin Abasi, and he is a self taught player. His current band is called Animals As Leaders and if you are into the harder stuff I suggest you check them out. I can promise you will enjoy it.

We haven't been posting much, if at all lately, but I wanted to thank our 4,000+ followers for enjoying our little blog over the past few years. I've never done this, but given that it is Tumblr Tuesday I'd like to share some of the blogs from the individuals who have put a lot of effort into The Butter Room. Dylan - I met Dylan almost ten years ago now in Charlottesville. Out of everyone from the Butter Room, I appreciate Dylan's musical tastes the most because he is always introducing me to tunes [...]

Jason Moran Trio - Kinda Dukish Chivas Jazz Festival, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 2003 If you can't hang with a 2 minute drum solo, skip to 2:08ish when other two jump in. But I know you can hang with a 2 minute drum solo. It's Nasheet after all.

…and another one. pretty sick. Check out his site, and look on youtube for his other videos. Sheer entertainment and you gotta give it to the guy it's pretty nasty. http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/

Check our Ronald Jenkees. Wow. This is a collaboration with STS9.

This man and his band just played one of the best shows I've heard in a long time. If you are on the east coast I highly suggest you check out The Jimmy Herring Band tour dates. http://jimmyherring.net/?page_ id=9 More to come, including shots, sounds and footage of opening band UZO who was also technically awesome.
