Went to the Nelson gig over the weekend to see John Butler Trio (also had Trinity Roots, Fly My Pretties, L.A.B)
Just to say, aside from an iffy Hendrix/bluesy moment, John Butler Trio were brilliant. The live version of Oceans was excellent. A couple of banjo moments were killer. Worked the crowd with some hippy-ish musings. His guitar playing was top-notch. And a great backing band.
Had the kids so we left during Fly My Pretties as it was getting later - not sure they were my bag anyway so wasn't too upset.
John Butler Trio, Nelson

He's a clever, gifted guy...did he not have some connection with Ben Harper at some stage?

Not sure I hadn't heard that - they definitely have some similarities though.GrantB wrote:He's a clever, gifted guy...did he not have some connection with Ben Harper at some stage?
JBs right hand technique was great to watch, whether it was on his 12 (11?) string or the banjo.
I want all the pedals!
