Man Of Peace - Bob Dylan & The Grateful Dead
7.24.87 - Oakland County Stadium, Oakland, CAWhile the official Dylan & The Dead release is rather lackluster, there were some great collaborations and overall strong performances when the two partnered in 1987. And while many are fans of extended improv from Jerry & Co., at their heart the Grateful Dead were always a band about the songs first and foremost.

Bird Song > Born Cross Eyed > Let It Grow - Furthur
9.18.09 - Fox Theater, Oakland, CAPhil Lesh and Bob Weir have quickly formed a new Dead project with some new, but familiar faces. The lineup is:
Bob Weir - Rhythm Guitar
Phil Lesh - Bass
Jeff Chimenti - Keys
John Kadlecik - Lead Guitar
Jay Lane - Drums
Joe Russo - DrumsUnlike The Dead, which seemed worn and ragged, uneven and at times simply over the hill, Furthur’s three shows this weekend seem to have breathed some life into the Grateful Dead community. John Kadlecik (aka Fake Jerry) from Dark Star Orchestra plays a more authentic and true to form lead guitar than most have done since the fat man’s passing, and Joe Russo brings not only serious chops but a slightly different approach than Dead fans are probably used to.
On another note, The Butter Room would like to send a special shout out to our friend, contributor, and loyal Dead Head, Martin, who turned the big 4-0 yesterday. Hope you had a wonderful weekend, Southern Heat!

Looks Like Rain -> Jam - Grateful Dead
3.28.85 - Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY1985 is one of my favorite Dead years, and with good cause. It is one of the last years to find all members still reasonably on top of their skills, creating truly innovative and interesting improv, and the sets featured a wide variety of material. This 16 minute Looks Like Rain features a really great jam.
Enjoy this as well as some great picks from April and June of 1985. We’ll revisit this year later in the summer with some more choice picks.

Help > Slip > Franklin’s - Grateful Dead
5.9.77 - War Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, NYHere is the opener from one of my favorite all time sets.

Uncle John’s Band -> Space -> Wharf Rat -> Around And Around - Grateful Dead
5.11.77 - Civic Center Arena, St. Paul, MinnesotaI love these songs immensely, so when you put them all together it really does it for me. I should note that often Space just doesn’t do much for me. I can get way too lost in a 10 or 15 minute version of space to really keep sight of any theme or emotion the band is trying to hold. (Which is interesting consider my deep love for all things Dark Star… essentially space, right?)
Yet this version of Space clocks in just under five minutes and has this incredible two minute guitar solo - nothing else - from Jerry that simply melts face. Ripe with feedback it segues perfectly into Wharf Rat, and is likely to send chills up your spine. Around and Around closes things up hard and fast with a really blazing rendition. What a perfect way to end a show, and just another reason why 1977 is a tremendously positive year of Grateful Dead music.

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.
