- Track 7 from the Live at Federation Square DVD
Live at Federation Square on 5th April 2007
Melbourne locals witnessed John Butler Trio Live At The Wireless in Federation Square. Performing songs from their hit new album Grand National as well as some old favourites, the John Butler Trio rocked Fed Square before heading off on their world tour.
The John Butler Trio is primarily an eclectic roots/jam band led by guitarist and vocalist John Butler. Two of the band's albums Three (2001) and Living 2001-2002 (2003) have gone platinum in Australia and reached the top ten of the Australian album charts in those years. The 2004 album Sunrise Over Sea debuted at number one on the Australian charts on March 15, 2004 reaching gold record status in its first week on sale. Their most recent album,Grand National was released in March 07.
I just remembered the song title from having the CD ages ago, and searched for it as I though it nicely fits to some countries' reaction to the ongoing COVID-19-epidemic. Little did I know what kind of a show I would be getting here...
Awesome. Feel sorry for the clarinettist. Plays his heart out from 7:40 onwards and all we get to see are all of the other musicians backing him up.
Good governance is possible. Let's hope those who enter positions of public power and responsibility do it for the right reason. ie to create a fair and equal society, culturally and artistically diverse for all to enjoy. Love this artist. John Butler....one of Australia's great musos.....
Hello.. Nope, not offended at all.
But hey, it's not just americans who have the right to say and believe what you want !! Now listen to this track again at 1.50 onwards and tell me that the lyrics aren't implying the bush government to be racist. Also, notice that at the end of the track they bring in a new orleans style jazz band.. so to me that means what the tracks about is the floods in new orleans and "tearing down" the government for doing nothing to help them
bad mistakes I can forgive
@DontRunBand I believe it's about more than just Katrina. Katrina is just one part of the song. What about "G be Indiana Jones'n diggin up the east stealin dinosaur bones'n/He don't dream of stoppin/Chasin his tail trying to find Bin Laden"
That to me sounds like anti war lyrics.
@Bindlossclun lap slide guitar
its hundreds of years old, but its only recently its started popping up again :)
theirs a chap called "eric mongrain" who does a song called "air tap" that uses a simular technique
Songsticks:
Im sure you will get offended by this even though it isnt near my purpose, JBT's purpose for his music is very similar to Bob Marley's in that he wants to bring people together not tear them down, so whether you like or dislike bush or obama, why do you want to tear them down? they are human and mess up just like everyone else, but tearing them down helps no one...as americans we have our right to say and believe what we want, but we shouldnt abuse that freedom with hate.
This song is about every Government that furthered their own agenda's at the expense of minority groups and ethnicities within their own nation. He does use Katrina, Bin Laden, the war on terror and the "children overboard" incidents as points to bolster the message within his lyrics.
@Drennan3 Actually the song topic is about 'gov did nothin'' for hurricane Katrina victims, nothing to do with Australia. Listen to the lyrics. Listen to the drums and feel of the song, its based around the New Orleans 2nd line rhythm, listen to the brass solo.
@Drennan3 Actually, this is a song about the U.S. government, in relation to helping the victims of cyclone Katrina (2005) in the Southern United States, who were mostly African-Americans. An absolutely amazing song, too. Love the jams! :D
This song is about a lot of events and things. Katrina, the war in the Middle East, some Australian refugee incident I believe. Simply about how the goverement rarely cares about its people.
Damn! What a piece of music! Nothing less than fantastic!
Just a little question: is the man with the hat and the trumpet from Denmark ? :)
- He is wearing a "Bevar Christiania" shirt!
they're talking about how the Australian gov basically has done nothing to help the indigenous people ..the true owners of the land kinda like Canada and the native population here
the new orleans jazz style band makes me believe that this is 100 percent about katrina haha...plus some other lines give it away if you listen closley
EPIC SONG!!
Hey it's true. Gov did nothing and they RARELY do. The fuck is up with that?
@Drennan3 Although John has spoken on such things before, he is specifically referring to Hurricane Katrina in the US.
@jellygoeswobble No no no, hes so epic that the devil needs to do deals with him. case in point; "Devil running".
@Drennan3 please tell me your kidding and that your really know that its the American Gov and Hurricane Katrina
Always reminds me of "Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd. Check that out if you haven't heard that.
@Ub4ntish Have you seen his covers of Get Up Stand Up. Some sweet vids on the TH-cam brother!
@OutWanderin The drummer's name is Michael Barker. The bass player is Shannon Birchhall ;)
@Drennan3 i thought it was about bush doing fuck all when hurricane katrina hit new orleans
Jaw dropper
The camera people probably didn't know where the hell that inane solo was coming from :D
@ETGuitarist yeah man with something to toke thats pure pleasure and reflection...
Yeah. Those three days sucked. But then our government did everything about it.
God Bless the people who had to deal with the wrath of Katrina. Goooood tune!
top demais...
Amoooooooo

Pure fucking awesome
Come to New England
I love this track for the fullness of the music. Rock and Jazz. Very diverse in its delivery and origin. Very New Orleans at the end of the track. Wow how many government situations have you seen anguish and the government do nothing. Wow very powerful.
agreed legandary
onelove....

This show would have been so unreal to see with all the backups and everything, woow..One of the few times I regret being Canadian lol
good to see some people understand what the song is about ^^ thank you man

4:36 :O Impressive! I've seen this video countless time and never noticed Shannon drumming with one hand while playing bass with his other! These three band members truly are talented.
killer :)
A true display of MUSIC.. glory to john butler's sheer talent..
I don't know why is this song watched so less as compared to his other song videos..
and also the very swing/calypso beat reminiscent of New Orleans jazz horn ensembles
these guys are true musicians! saw them in Chicago at Lollapalooza.... please come to Canada soon!
well the entire song is in a new orleans style shuffle so that really adds to the effect
this is probably the most eclectic combination of musical skill and style i've ever seen
No worries buddy.
Yeah it is one of my favourites
yeah, that's kinda how it feels, he/they're so good it's almost out of this world
