Blue Veins - The Raconteurs
6.13.08 ~ Bonnaroo / Manchester, TN
Whoa. I can’t wait to see these guys in August.
Across 110th Street - My Morning Jacket 6.13.08 - Bonnaroo, Manchester TN I just finished listening to My Morning Jacket’s monster performance from Bonnaroo this year. This was a must post - Bobby Womack’s Across 110th Street with Jeff Coffin of the Flecktones and the Nashville/Louisville Horns.
Guitar Man Upstairs - Drive-By Truckers
6.13.08 Which Stage, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Manchester, TN
We’ve been posting a bunch from Bonaroo lately, but it’s hard to resist with the variety of live music that comes out of this one festival. These guys have been topping my itunes rotation lately. Definitely not the best version of the is song, but it will get you going none the less. A glass of George Dickel should work out the kinks.
Why I Like the Robins - Hum
6.13.1995 - Moe’s, Seattle, WA
Hum was one of my favorite bands in college, and still get heavy rotation to this day. When “You’d Prefer an Astronaut” came out, I was disappointed that it wasn’t Electra 2000, and that it was on a major label, but “Why I Like the Robins” is one of the gems of the album, and certainly doesn’t disappoint live. Matt can’t really sing all that well, but I’m guessing all you Phish fans don’t mind. ;)
While You Were Sleeping - Elvis Perkins in Dearland
6.13.07 - Late Show with David Letterman, New York City, NY
On my way in to work a couple months ago I caught the tail end of a NPR interview with Elvis Perkins. The featured song clips struck a cord and I can’t seem to get enough.
This coming Monday Todd and I will be seeing Elvis close to home. Not sure what to expect. We’re really new to his music, the venue is very small (the kind with tables and chairs), and it’s a Monday night. One thing is for sure, I’m excited to get out and see something new. Enjoy!
Live in Chicago? Not going to Bonnaroo?
We’ve caught wind of a killer bill of Chicago instrumental bands at the House of Blues this Saturday.
Doors are at 7:30 with Wyllysspinning vinyl from his gigantic collection, followed by the cool, funky sounds of Spare Parts at 9. Aggressive-progressive fusion monsters The Hue are up next, with the rocking/jazz of Land of Atlantisto close the evening.
Tickets are only $10, and this is a very special 17+ show!
Handshake Drugs - Wilco
6.13.09 - Bonnaroo Music Festival, Manchester, TN
Wilco delivered one of the strongest performances of the 8th annual Bonnaroo. Playing the main stage during the late afternoon on Saturday, Tweedy and Co. mixed it up with material from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, Summerteeth, and their forthcoming album, Wilco (The Album).
The set was perhaps best defined by the song choices and how their lyrics matched up to the festival, time slot (Bull Black Nova’s reference to the setting sun), and world events. Nels Kline delivered some breathtaking guitar work, shredding with precision and careful note selection, While Glen Kotche and Jeff Tweedy locked in for some driving rhythms. For those who were only slightly familiar with the band’s repertoire and long-time fans alike, the full mixture of Americana came through with passion and pride on the nation’s largest stage.

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.
