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 2.5 shows each week. Think about it - over a 30 year period, Jerry Garcia played a live show 2-3x each week, every week.

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.
