It was a hot show: hot as hell inside the lower level of Stubb’s in Austin, Davy’s tea was hot, and of course the music was hot, with Davy burning up the strings and melting faces all night long.
Each time I listen to the recording of the show I am blown away all over again.
Here’s some samples:
What In the World (Rory Gallagher)
Commotion (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
Coming Up For Air
Walk On Hot Coals (Rory Gallagher)
New song…unknown title…?
Downloads of the entire show should be up over the weekend.
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order’s tall
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I’ll be with you
But it will be a different “kind”
I’ll be holding all the tickets
And you’ll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I’m breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Check out those lyrics.
How do you interpret them?
I have pile of music from shows I saw over the last year that I never posted for one reason or another. I was going to take a song from each of them and make a “Best of the Rest 2008” post with them, but by the time I could complete a project like that it would be December of 2009, so fugettuhboutit.
Instead, I decided to pick my favorite less than perfect recording and put it up, just as it is.
It was easy to make my pick: the second set of a Tab Benoit show I saw early in the year.
I really should have at least cut the last 3 minutes of crowd noise for you…sorry about that.
But really, who is going to listen to all 90+ minutes of Tab Benoit’s second set at Slim’s in San Francisco Feb 15, 2008 anyway?

Wishing you a Happy, Safe, and Wonderful 2009!

I have no time these days to be posting to this blog. Work is crazy, and home is crazy, and I’m busy, busy, busy… But I just heard this artist for the first time today and I have to put up some kind of short post about her…
All audio from John Butler (sans trio) performance April 22, 2008, San Francisco, The Fillmore.
Well, first I missed the opener, Mama Kin, because I’m always, always late. But that’s another story.
I did make it in time to see John come out and say hello, pay respect to the Native Americans and start the show with:
High For a Living
Then, John talked about asking his wife to marry him and told a little story about his father-in-law and then he sang:
Daniella
Next, John introduced “Brother Michael” who came on stage with him for:
Treat Yo’ Momma
“Treat Yo’ Momma” went on for a long time and built really beautifully to a special treat. I thought it was great… I love the long, meandering guitar that sounds kind of Middle Eastern or something. The really cool quiet part..I loved it. The people TALKING really pissed me off and kinda killed my buzz for a while that night, but listening back I can enjoy the performance more…
Check it out:
Next song:
Thank You
And the crowd was really bad. I’m sorry, they were. I’ve seen reports from other fans who were there who said the crowd was very respectful. Um, no. At least not at this point. They were quite rude, actually. The good news is that the crowd did get much better later.
Next:
Good As Gone
Better Than
He chatted about why he learned Danny Boy (for his grandma)…
Danny Boy
And then came the surprise:
Spring
And “Spring” absolutely melted into:
Ocean
Ocean had something like a 2 minute musical intro. And Ocean was, of course, fantastic. The feeling…the feeling of being in the crowd and just, I don’t know, being there in the music with so many other people…it’s just great. 14 minutes of joy.
*sigh* no recording can ever capture it just right…but do stay for the whole thing if you can…
There is nothing like the roar of that crowd after that song ends…the overall live experience is something not to be missed…
Now he brings our Mama Kin to sing with him:
Mellow Mood
Beau-t-ee-ous. 🙂 Ya, mon.
Goodbye Mama Kin, hello again Brother Michael and here comes the coolest version of:
Gov Did Nothin
Loved the piano…
The crowd was feelin’ good by now and the room was loving it.
This is a good time being had by many, many people:
Pick a Part
Zebra
Call and response fun!
Fire in the Sky
We need to heal all this pain so we can live again…
AMEN.
encores:
Losing You
A duet with Mama Kin. I love this song. That is all.
Funky Tonight
…and another great John Butler show comes to an end…
Part 3 will be along in a bit with a flac download of my recording if anyone should want it…please be patient!
But the crowd was really pissing me off for the first 4 or 5 songs. Grrrrr. John Butler even said (something like) “It seems to me if you go to a gig and you want to talk and get loud you should just fuck off to the bar!”
Even peace loving hippies can be pushed just so far, damn it!!
Damn, people. SHUT UP already.
Ok, I just had to get that out of my system. More on the show later. I’m too tired today because I got about 4 hours of sleep last night and I am way too old for that sort of craziness. I’ll just say that I loved, loved, loved it.
I’m going to see a show tonight (John Butler, solo!) and I’ll write a review in a few days. But for now here’s some of what they call nu-jazz or lounge, from De-phazz. I just found these guys, but they have been around a long time. I wanted to get their album “Death by Chocolate” but they don’t have it as a digital download so instead I got their latest, “Days of Twang.” Great album! Lots to listen to. Creative. Engaging. Interesting.
Did he write the “Bang On The Drum All Day” song, too? (further research says ‘yes’.)
But Hooooold on a minute, there’s more!
…this had to be in the very early 80’s? Because by the late 80’s electronic music was everywhere. He was ahead of the curve… ETA: This has to be the 70’s…ETA again: EARLY 70’s.)
1994 International Feel
What’s this??
Somebody doing Jamie Lidell’s job years ago? Was Jamie even BORN in 1994?!
Well, shoot. This guy is really interesting. Now I kind of do want to go that Wolf Trap thing…
A friend of mine told me about Duffy a few weeks ago and I really liked what I heard. The album comes out May 13. I’m already hearing Mercy on the radio. Don’t you love it that stuff like this is on the radio?
