Radiohead: Live In Prague
Radiohead has always been a little different than its peers, but very few bands would not only applaud efforts dabbling in copyright infringement, but assist their fans in putting together a bootleg DVD.
“On 23 August 2009 a group of Radiohead fans descended on the Výstaviště Holešovice exhibition hall in Prague to capture the band perform, using as many different angles as possible. Bringing together the exceptional talents of many contributors, here is the result.”
*Audio masters kindly provided by the band*
The band provided this HD-shot with the soundboards, allowing for a masterful concert experience to be shared with the world featuring dozens of great angles capturing the lighting, close-ups, crowd shots, etc.
Even better, the fan group has set up this website in which you can find downloads available in nearly every format imaginable, ranging from a full 10 GB HD version, a DVD version, and multiple formats for your iPad, iPod, and more. For those unaware, Radiohead has only released one DVD of their live performances, 1995’s Live at the Astoria. Though the band said they loved their 2006 Bonnaroo concert and would be releasing the footage in full, it has yet to appear, making this the only modern day hi-definition full concert video of the band. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed with the results!

The Song Remains The Same - Led Zeppelin
LA Forum, 1977Not the best video, but a great example of the fire that these guys brought every night, even later in their career. Would’ve been something else to see them.
Usually I am opposed to any of those shameless and often pathetic nostalgia comeback runs, but would kill to witness live Zep. A few years ago through, I ran into John Bonham Jr. at an airport shortly after the London reunion shows. I asked him about the band doing a tour, to which he said something to the effect of, “did you listen to that show?”.
Man had a point. Their shows were built on pure energy,which for a variety of reasons, probably can never be recreated by those guys. So, videos of Bonham Sr. lighting the LA Forum on fire will have to suffice. Enjoy.

20 years ago today, the world lost one of the best guitar players of all time, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Stevie defined my love of blues music and my passion to spend as many waking hours as I could with a guitar in my hands. I never met him and I never saw him play live, but he changed my life forever. Stevie quite literally gave me a career in music. Today I’m not John Mayer the famous musician, I’m John, the kid from the Connecticut suburbs who discovered a style of music that spoke for me when nothing else did. And I post this in honor of both Stevie and the thousands of undiscovered guitar players who shut the doors to their rooms, dim the lights and play along to the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan and find their escape through a Fender Stratocaster. Please watch this man play “Texas Flood” from his 1983 performance at the El Macambo. Thank you Stevie.
My first introduction to SRV was Live at the El Macambo back in 1991. I will never forget this performance of Texas Flood. It blew my mind then and still does. There are great guitarists and then there is Stevie Ray Vaughn. We miss you.

The Curtain With - 8/21/87 - Ian McLean’s Farm, Hebron, NY
It’s been a while since we had an audio post here on TBR. I was just getting re-acquainted with an old bubbly friend I found and also listening to some old phish. 1987 to be exact. For its super raw, living room/basement Phish feel, its one of my favorite “The Curtain With”
I particularly like this “with” section. Enjoy.

Day one at Telluride was pretty incredible. Still slightly in shock of how beautiful it was, musically (seeing the band unleash some serious jamming) and just the entire environment (the natural scenery, the crowd and the amazing town itself). Who knows what’s in store for tonight, but this will go down as a special experience for band and fans alike.

What is The Butter Room?
The Butter Room was built to spread and discuss live music. The contributors of this site all volunteer their time to provide the content. We do this as a labor of love. Our name, The Butter Room, references an small, low-lit room in a Virginia Tech Fraternity with nothing but a few benches and tables. You go there to get away from all distractions and have a conversation, which is what we want to foster here: a place where you can get away from all the distractions of life to enjoy and discuss live music.
