Phish - Festivalography Pt 3/4
The third installment might be my favorite. The band members talk about playing the largest Millenium concert in the world at Big Cypress, and one of the longest continuous sets of music played by any band (from about 11:45 PM until sunrise, approximately 7 hours), and then flying home that same morning.
This episode also covers the IT festival, my first festival. The band talks about playing the late night jam from atop the air traffic control tower, and how these creative ideas take off during the planning of the festivals. No doubt there will be big some surprises this weekend in Indio!

Reba - Phish
8.2.03 - IT Festival, Loring Air Force Base, Limestone, MaineOne of the best Rebas Phish has played, and certainly the best version post-hiatus. The jam really takes off at about 12:30. Trey lays down some very tasteful licks and Fish is all sorts of locked in with Gordo. It might be Page’s subtle textures that just highlight Trey, but this jam always does it for me!

This Is Red Rocks. This Is The Edge.
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.

2001 > Mike’s Song > Heavy Metal Jam* > Sparks > The Ballad of Curtis Loew - Phish
8.2.93 - The Ritz Theater, Tampa FL - *with Joe Rooney of First Born on vocalsWorth a listen for the Heavy Metal Jam alone. Who is Joe Rooney you ask? Joe is a member of a “Power Metal Band” from Tampa, First Born. Check out their myspace page and have a listen to “Born to death”, “Death becomes her”, or “Red pain blood drain” or better yet just listen to this 20 minute treat from Tampa in ‘93.

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.
