It was in front of 500 people, and they rocked the crowd as usual! The crowd was fantastic...clapping in time and singing along with at least 50% of the songs. The set list was a typical set from last tour, but 3 new songs were played, and the crowd seemed to like em. John thought this was his best LA crowd he'd ever played to...it was cool. It's rare to see a performer of his caliber in such an intimate setting. Great show, Great crowd!

Go see these guys if you can. They are ALL amazingly talented - the show was amazing. They are WAY better live than their music on a CD can show you.

I never write reviews, I see the show, have a good time, go to work.... but this was different. Absolutely one of the greatest musical events I have ever been to. He is just amazing, I'd could go on forever about the show but i still slightly speechless about and unable to go one with more words like amazing, great, wonderful....

It's been a while but perhaps worth the wait. John sounds better than ever (ok that was cheasy) and the two new guys sound like they've been playing together for years. What was really cool is this new venue Lincoln Hall. Intimate but not over crowded.

Better than i could have imagined. Jbt was phenominal, venue is small, sounds great, and a place everyone should try to experience. Great atmosphere. Servers come to you during the show. Can't beat that. The band's energy was awesome and their jams and solos amazing. Excellent all around.

Seriously, this is one of the the best bands you're not listening to. Wickedly entertaining, crazy solos, and John Butler is hands-down one of the most exciting guitarists you'll ever see play. Seriously, I got this from a wizened bartender at Lincoln Hall who confessed that he's seen a helluva a lot of rock shows but this guy can really play guitar.

John Butler as usual was awesome. I didn't know what to expect as the last time he had a different drummer and base player but new members were just as good. The Lincoln Hall was a great nenue for this show and I stoodf right next to the mixing board so acoustics were perfect. Can't wait til he comes back to the Riv this summer though now spoiled being able to see him at a smaller venue. Also, drinks proces were reasonable unlike other venues. No doubt a 5+ star rating

Truly an amazing guitar player with a sound all his own. Band was tight and played a super mix of old and new. Doubt we'll ever get another chance to see JBT in such an intimate setting again.

amazing show. such a treat to finally see him live. it was only an hour and a half which sucks but it was well worth it. hopefully he comes to the city again soon and he'll stick around for a little longer.

Last nights show was the BEST musical performance I've seen in a long time.
They band appeared to be enjoying themselves as much as the crowd.
Too short. Not cool to have second show scheduled for same venue limiting the Trio's ability to play longer. The show was Amazing, Awesome, Fabulous!
The Bowery is conveniently located, easy access in and out of city.

The John Butler Trio was amazing at the bowery, they put on one of the best shows I've seen. Only upsetting thing is that the set had a time limit cause they were the early show. I wanted to see them play more!

The last JBT show was 3 years ago at Palladium NYC and that rocked as well. Here we are 3 years later and he is better than ever. I was first blown away with the cutting of dreds. But that not matter his face is most beautiful and his new songs seemed to sound out of his norm but still has the original JBT sound. Being at Bowery made it even better. A smaller venue definately made the experience even better. The trio are most talented musicians I have seen in awhile. I am going to see Citizen Cope tonight at the same venue. But I know that Cope may not give such a great show as JBT had last night.

Go guys and keep on rocking! Hope to see you guys in a concert on the other side of the world. 143 - Love Love Love!

WOW. Talent!! rare these days I know, you can tell he became a good musician on stage and playing live in the streets, not engineered in a studio. Great energy, 7 different guitars, and the best drum solo I have ever heard later I had a perma-grin that took many beer and sleep to remove from my Chevy Chase.
Must see!!!
