Dancing In The Streets -> Franklin’s Tower - The Grateful Dead
10.27.79 - Cape Cod Coliseum, South Yarmouth, MATwenty-nine years ago today, The Grateful Dead played a show. Not an average show, or a good show, or even a great show. A Stellear Show. Great song selection, perfectly played, and some of the most interesting Dead improvisation to come out of the ‘70’s (which is saying a lot!). While Franklin’s Tower is usually part of the Help On The Way -> Slipknot -> Franklin’s trifecta, for much of 1979 it would morph out of the disco funk found in Dancing In The Streets. A must-listen for any Dead head.

If I Could - Phish
7.1.95 - Great Woods Ampitheater, Mansfield, MAIf I Could has always been one of my favorite Phish ballads. For a band with often very nonsensical lyrics, this one stands out. The song’s lyrics and music were both written by Trey, who wanted to cheer up friend Amy Skelton after a breakup she was struggling with.
This version of note because it features the beautiful guitar intro that was part of the original version of the song but only briefly teased before Antelope on 12.29.93 and played at this show. Versatility in both taste and performance has always been one of the band’s strongest assets, and this is a beautiful example of that appreciation for music that moves not through tension and release, but through melody and thoughtfulness.

Dead Therapy - Cape Cod 10.27.79
Mornin’, Everybody!!
God, I love this show. I always forget how great it is. It’s so often lost in the mix of Deaddom. 1979 was a really pivotal year, but not known for phenomenal shows. Donna and Keith had left the band earlier in the year, and they had this new guy off the street, Brent Mydland. Maybe some of you guys have heard of him. Brent brought with him a handful of beautiful soul songs and a mesmerizing, enchanting voice, taboot. He breaks into a gorgeous Easy to Love You in the first set (it just happens to be my favorite Brent song). In playing style, I always saw Keith as more of a jazzer, and Brent as more of a space cadet. It’s clearly evident the way he plays off Jerry during Other One.
Stars of the show: A super funky, late ‘70s Dancin>Franklin’s to bust off the second set, an oddly placed 2nd position Candyman, Jerry’s intense rippin’ on Caution>Other One. The other one is stacked with massive crescendos and explosions and some interesting vocal effects. I can’t imagine what it would have done to my face, had I been there. One part gets so intense about 10 minutes in that I would imagine I would have just crawled up into a little ball on the coliseum floor and prayed that it ended soon. Instead, Jerry just decides to take us into outer space, before falling back into drums. Bless his heart.
Plus, this is another Charlie Miller recording, and simply put, it’s just plain fire.
It was a good night in Dead history.
The bus came by and I got on, that’s when it all began….,

Many of the contributors to the Butter Room are diehard baseball fans. We’ve got a Red Sox, Yankees, Braves, Cubs, and even a Blue Jays fan. I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Opening Day then with Neil Diamond treating the Fenway faithful last night. Go Sox!
Enjoy opening day, baseball fans. Do yourself a favor and enjoy recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee Neil Diamond open the season at Fenway. It’s about time Neil got his due.

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.
