2001 > Run Like An Antelope - Phish
06.11.94 - Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO
In anticipation of what I truely believe (or at least hope) will be the best Phish I’ve seen live, here is a pick from the show that first got me hooked on Phish ten years ago, and to this day stands as my all time favorite show. This show falls during one of the best tours the band had throughout their history, and is one of those shows where it feels like every single note was specially chosen and precisely played that it could not sound any other way.
You Enjoy Myself > Rift - Phish
06.11.94 - Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO
Though not my prediction for Friday’s first pick (despite Trey’s left nut), this YEM is one of the best ever, followed by a vocal jam that transitions seamlessly into Rift. It might be argued that Mike did not fully step into his own until later in the decade, but shows like these definitely solidified his spot as the driving force behind the band.
Nirvana vs Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit up
Sorry, guys, this has nothing to do with The South or live music greatness. However, it is just pure awesome. I double dog dare you to watch the whole thing. Just having some fun. Sorry, it won’t happen again.
On another note, WSP’s sets from Mile High Festival in Denver this past weekend are hot. I’ve never been a fan of the festival style one - setter show. I always have felt like I’m getting a little ripped off. I love my little setbreak breather and beer break. But, in all honesty, this band has melded with Jimmy “Father Time” Herring and is firing on all cylinders. he’s lightened up a little bit on the fire fingers and is down a little bit in the mix. Still, the MVP right now is Dave Schools. His playing is super fluid and thick like melting drippy wax.
Setlists from the weekend are below. Now that’s just a nasty opener. Nice machine>barstools in reverse on night two (barstools>machine). Way to be crafty.

Rebirtha - Widespread Panic
06.28.02 - Red Rocks, Morrison, CO
Today marks the anniversary of Mikey Houser’s death. The “silent genius” had a huge impact on my life personally, and I’m sure many of you, too. He was confident, without ego, kind-hearted and genuine. His goal wasn’t to be the frontman lead guitar player for Widespread Panic. He was just the humble guy who sat in a chair, fan blowing in his hair, melting faces with a volume pedal.
This vid is from the the Red Rocks shows in ‘02, which was also my last run with Mikey on lead. He would play only a few more shows with his buddies and pass a couple months later. We all knew Mikey was sick and in pain, but still laying out every inch of his positive energy for us. Watch as JB walks over (around 2:40) and hangs out with his best friend.
I will forever miss the “lingering lead”. R.I.P. dear friend.

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.
