Dead Therapy - Nassau Coliseum 10.31.79
Morning, Freaks, Goblins and Ghouls!!
“I want to be a vampire for the Halloween
Mama makes a cape on the sewing machine

Let’s get straight to the point today. There are Halloween people and there are not Halloween people. You know the type, the ones that plan their costumes weeks in advance, some even starting the day after last Halloween. Some people just get really turned on by this holiday. I am not one of those people, although I do kind of like the idea that women can get away with wearing whatever they want on this day, no matter how short or low cut and nobody can say a damn thing ‘cause it’s Halloween. God bless ‘em. Sometimes, I still miss college. Just as an example, I went to ask my office buddy what his one year old son was dressing as and he replied with a smile…”Superman”. So to be nice, I asked what his 16 year old daughter was dressing as and he said, ”probably some damn pole dancer.” Sorry I digress. We just never really got into it in my family…maybe because we’re Jewish and our Halloween is Purim which usually falls out around march. Kind of the same. Not really. You get to dress up, play tricks, and get a bunch of candy. But it’s not scary.

Dead Therapy - Boo! - Carolina Coliseum 10.31.85
Morning, Freaks!!
In honor of the first trip for the well traveled mattsimpson to our fine state of South Carolina, I figured I’d pick a show based on that theme. The extent of my Dead knowledge is limited, but I believe that they only played the capital city one time. Riddle me this? Do you think it was because we fly the confederate flag high atop our state capital (it’s heritage, not hate, brah), or do you think Mickey and Phil just had a hankering for the some good ole SC barbecue and “sweeter than sweet tea” southern women? Guess that mystery will remain unsolved. Maybe they were just looking for Jerry’s future beach house on the be- u- tiful Kiawah Island.
This Halloween show is nutzo! A little heavier on the sound effects than the playing. Not a lot of show notes to discuss. Halloween shows in general seem to be novelties. More about the visual than the audio.

99 Albums in 4:20 - Eclectic Method
Played as a live intro to Phish’s Exile On Main St. Set 10.31.09 - Empire Polo Club, Indio, CAOne of the coolest parts of the Ocho was the cover set of The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street. However, this intro video that came on 4:20 before the set started got everyone dancing and going nuts as Phish took the stage, putting an end to the game that so many of us have enjoyed the past month! Give it a watch, it sums up some of the best artists and albums in rock and roll history!

Enter Sandman - Widespread Panic
10/31/2007 - Civic Center, Asheville, NC
This 2nd set opener (1st set was Welcome to My Nightmare) would’ve been a whole hell of a lot cooler if Halloween ‘07 had been in Blacksburg, instead of Ashevegas. I was lucky enough to be at this one, and I can tell you for a fact the roof got blown off. I am still slightly haunted still to this day by the Children of the Grave encore.
Our backdrop contains the fiery depths of Hell and our frontman is the Devil. What do you think Ocho will have as a backdrop? My bet is, it will be Teletubbies Wonderland and Gordo dressed as a…., well maybe we don’t need to get into that.
Love ya, Chicago!
(p.s. On another note, nice dismantling of BC this weekend by the Hokies. This is in honor of you.)

Black Sabbath - Widespread Panic
10.31.92 - Georgia Theatre, Athens, GA
Far be it from the heat to ever turn down a challenge, but this time I am going to have to concede to the fine gentlemen of the Chicago TBR. Due to a clusterf*ck of a schedule over the past week, weekend and today, I admit defeat. It sucks, I know. It was such a simple challenge. The potential for Phish Halloween (this year, the Ocho) to be darker, scarier, and dirtier than Panic Halloween. Really, Chicago?…Really? Kids these days?!? Go Home, Hippies.
Just the mere grit from JB’s throat and the dark bottom from a Schools bass line should be enough to stand alone in triumph.
That being said I will take my loss with grace this go round.
ROUND 1: Chitown
(p.s. As time permits through the day today I will do my best to post some video dirt from Panic’s past. Happy Halloween to all!! BOO!!!)

Crosseyed & Painless/The Great Curve - Phish (video)
10.31.96 - The Omni, Atlanta GAAs you’ll see, this video has a few cuts in it, but it’s still worth the post. You get a lot of good looks into the first few rows of the crowd here, which is cool to see. God, I wish the boys would bust out The Great Curve. Enjoy!

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.
