Two for Bleu - Charlie Hunter
8.1.2000 - Century Ballroom - Seattle, WA
Charlie and crew just killin’ it. With Chris Lovejoy and Steven Chopek on the percussives and Sherik on the sax.
In what one can only describe as a Phishmas miracle, Ticketmaster not only added 4-day passes for Phish’s July 30-Aug 2 run at Red Rocks to their site, but made them available for immediate purchase. As I returned from dinner, I sat down at my computer and pulled up my usual collection of sites these days: Tumblr, Twitter, and Phantasy Tour. I’ve been trying to work out a few trades for the June leg of summer tour in hopes of re-securing my Fox Theatre ticket, as well as possibly obtaining an Asheville ticket, and PT has proven quite successful for executing past trades (including all 3 of my Hampton tickets for near face).
Tonight, however, thanks to PT user gooneybird, fellow Butter Room resident Eugene and I will be attending all four nights of the Red Rocks run barring unforseen circumstances. Gooneybird’s “RED ROCKS 4 day passes on tm” thread was sitting at the top of the board, just posted with no replies. Without even opening the thread I rushed to ticketmaster.com and purchased 2 4-day passes. And then I purchased two more. And two more after that.
Whether this was an error or simply a sneaky pre-sale remains to be seen, but Ticketmaster should honor the transactions that went through this evening. I can’t help but think this is good karma coming from listening to the 6.11.94 Red Rocks Set II earlier this evening. So just to reiterate: The Butter Room will be at all four Red Rocks shows and bringing you complete coverage, much like our Hampton coverage two weeks back.
Jumpin’ Jack Flash/Young Blood - George Harrison, Leon Russell, Billie Preston, Ringo Star, Jim Keltner, George Harrison, Eric Clapton
8.1.71 - Madison Square Garden, NY, NY (Concert for Bangledash)
Per Wikipedia:
The Concert For Bangladesh was the event title for two benefit concerts organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, held at noon and at 7:00 p.m. on August 1, 1971, playing to a total of 40,000 people at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Organized for the relief of refugees fromEast Pakistan (now independent Bangladesh) after the 1970 Bhola cyclone and during the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities and Bangladesh Liberation War, the event was the first benefit concert of this magnitude in world history. It featured an all-star supergroup of performers that included Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, and Ringo Starr.
This ended up being one of the best supergroup concerts ever put together, and this little medley is wonderful (save Clapton who was in such bad shape his guitar wasn’t even turned on). Enjoy!

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.
