I had the absolute pleasure of seeing John Butler perform at an open mic night at the Grovesner Hotel in Perth many years ago. First time I saw him & I was blown away. That instrumental was one of the numbers he did that night. It was a very intimate affair with about 50-60 people sitting on the floor & he got on stage & decided to sit down too.

Being about 5 feet from the guy and watching as fingers blurred into a maze of concerted dance it was awe inspiring to say the least.

One really cool thing I also remember from that night, the act after him was a young girl with a guitar (Poor bugger had to follow such an amazing performance) she struck her first chord & broke a string. John Butler was packing up off stage & saw her agony, grabbed her guitar, thrust another into her hands & she did the first song. Meanwhile he frantically re-strung her guitar & after she finished the first song he swapped her guitar back again & she carried on. I spoke to both of the afterwards & he had never met her before. Very cool dude.

I have that tape (Was autographed but I've lost the cover) which was his second ever recording I think. All his stuff is good but that one hold extra value for me.
