John Butler Trio- Funky Tonight (Live at Federation Square)

The final song of the night, one of my favorites

[@lukejones5053]

If you ask me, this was the best Trio :) He should bring these back :)

[@Moleskineman]

I dunno...I love the chemistry between Birchall and Bomba

[@oskarvikstrom229]

Agree

[@Lionceau36]

@@Moleskineman In my opinion, there were more chemistry between Birchall and Barker than Birchall and Bomba. John Shannon and Michael were musically unbeatable :)

[@Gehvoy687]

I love this performance because it's the ORIGINAL trio!! It's so sad to see the bassist and drummer gone :(

[@TommyLie1993]

Love the distortion solo he does in this song, its brilliant!

[@navidb]

all around sick performance by everyone on stage and in the crowd and on earth and in space...and in the universe

[@shelf1122]

I started listening to this band like 10 minutes ago, and now, im hooked! I love this so much!

[@Sto20784]

[@kylelouer4323]

[@AsianScrotom]

[@jamescampbell2521]

[@Pinklewilly]

That is some great bass.

[@charlieschapter]

[@ewa-gunfredin5915]

Love this song! Just want more and more! Wish JBT would visit Sweden

[@budzmanson2747]

Yes same

[@ThaPing6448]

OMG John Butler is fucking amazing, John Butler Trio was one of best things i discorvered when i was in Austalia, I havent heard anything but them since i got home, i'd travel back to AU just to see them live XD

[@TomDepypere]

i guess no guitarplayer in all the world comes close to the skills of john butler.. he is amazing!

[@abcbudo]

the best Jonny B with the Kiwi Band hell yeah come back across the Dutch fellas

[@AraxieFromMars]

This puts such a big smile on my face!

[@beardown091]

go see him in person and he'll change not only your opinion of him but possibly your life...his lyrics if you listen to them are extrodinary...i know that's my opinion but i've seen him in person 4 times now and he's by far the best i've heard

[@SadisticAssassin321]

one of my fav songs of all time!

[@FlamingDragonite]

nice song i long live JBT :P

[@fenoman234]

8 people need to get funky tonight

[@indian0cobra]

There is nothing better than JBT live. :)

[@pedrocaser]

This man is a contemporany new icon,like as Keith Richards, Clapton and Hendrix were in their time[...] And his band is very good too.

[@18hopkins]

many thanks great great great

[@Nez949]

Now this is a epic JAM session!

[@jesse1989PP]

[@DaanvanRiel]

[@TheTrainersBand]

Michaael and Shannon with John = Best Lineup ever

[@1brotherAC]

[@PurpleSkittlesFtw]

Greatest Aussie musician ever.. And yeah it is a 5 string, pretty sure its a stingray. But i beleive it is strung to a half an octave above the usual, Keep it up mate come visit us in broome again, i missed u ter other day =[

[@TheCookly]

awesome rim solo!

[@uggybigboots]

fair point PhilHazen.

[@AnnaLena927]

Now THAT's some eargasm!

[@navidb]

THIS IS A CRAZY SONG! :D

[@ArthurCunnington_singer]

i love it how one of the tags is "amazing" :D

[@JoshyBarth]

@LSUsuperBuick I think its brilliant - It shows what you can do with Electro-Acoustic Guitars, and he's definatley different :)

[@noditschi]

Better they watch and dislike it than liking or disliking without even giving it a try.

[@traceyonus4749]

A groovy song for a groovy New Year 2013

[@SweetSkaMusic2328]

Is watching this video 15 times in a row a bad thing?

[@piloumag]

love u

[@Ocabeatz]

Yes, that really is a fullstop.

[@sasukechaos11220]

Yeah... Now i'm definitely feeling Funky. Legen...Dary!

[@Ibanez3789]

I don't like this arguing over who's the "best" guitarist in the world. Yes, John Butler is amazing, and he makes great music that reaches audiences all over the world. Jimi was revolutionary, and also an amazing guitarist. But music isn't a competition. As a musician myself, I can't stand this "who's the best" arguing. Just say that the music is great, that the musicians are talented and are good at doing what they love to do, and enjoy!

[@Betterman89]

@Ibanez3789 holy words, man. Holy, holy words. As a musician, I totally agree.

[@LordJerkal]

stupenda sei il mio idolo :)

[@Nez949]

Yeah no offense, but this was imo the best trio to date. All soooooo skillful and amazing. :]

[@stingo101]

imagine what those hands can do in an electric!

[@Ocabeatz]

Awesome.

[@ITipCowsWorldWide]

I love the fact that he is playing an acoustic guitar...But his setup makes it sound electric in parts....Looks funny...in a good way.

[@ewa-gunfredin5915]

I agree with you Luke Jones

[@4nattie4]

@sapila28 soo good

[@holybrad]

John butler

[@ginseng1550]

@FreeMan549 amen to that

[@uggybigboots]

@beardown091 I have been to see him many times I loove his music but was just expressing an opinion about the simplicity of his lyrics- however fair doos and all points taken from above.

[@Ghraladean]

@Ibanez3789 I used to think the Edge is the best guitar player. Now I think he's friggin good at what he does. So is Butler, Tommy Emmanuel, Joe Satriani.. they're all among my favorites. Still, I don't consider any of them better then the other. So yes, I guess you're right, it's not a competition.

[@jarbo26]

Nicky Bomba is the bomba!

[@Nicorette1234]

@randomshinythings so true

[@zanedude3]

yea its crazy

[@Fizzyskull]

@lespaul817 Yes, and not just 1 night. Or 2... Many a nights have been spent watching JB on youtube... and it's never wasted ;D

[@TheDjbland]

i bet he loves the bong

[@Fugix]

Thanks Randomshinythings! But actually I wondered where he performed in Antwerp, like blokhut73^^ said.

[@fatcatsammy3844]

I wonder how they came up with the name for this song.

[@TheCucharaVerde]

@lespaul817 man, i'm with you...

[@sapila28]

@kingfranckribery The name is Michael Barker... Look him up.

[@KillTheSpammer]

@Ghraladean good answer!!!!!

[@tjp87]

@LSUsuperBuick And are you the ultimate decider of what sounds "cool" and what does not? Everyone's got their own idea of what cool is

[@practicalcheese00]

Federation Square in Melbourne. Duh.

[@Pensfan131]

how can u disliske this song?

[@esplover1994]

@m4rth4 thanks

[@rollinspeedster]

9 people just don't get the funky tonight!

[@IIJazzyII]

Some people are just naturally good sadly... I've been playing for 10 years and feel exactly the same lol

[@attica1010]

@Ibanez3789 although.. i would like to say, that John butler doesnt get enouhg recognition for his guitar skills, although i know he wouldnt care about that, he is all about the message he is trying to get across and stuff...

[@Ghraladean]

@Ibanez3789 Yeah right you are! Question: Do you like Satch? :) I like JBT, I like Satriani, I like Tommy Emmanuel etc etc, it's all great music, so really no point in saying someone is best. I like this, you like that, come on people, it's like saying stew's better than Goulash. I like both :) respect from Budapest!

[@brycecake2]

That's crazy. I mean not that crazy. But still haha thanks. :)

[@kambing2410]

holyshit

[@brycecake2]

what with john being in open c and all, it the bassist in a different tuning, or does he follow in standard?

[@esplover1994]

can someone tell me what guitar this is sorry for my english ;)

[@danronnback]

are all these Federation Square clips off a DVD?

[@piotradam11]

super...i tak tez mozna grac na akustycznej gitarze...;-)

[@amybeveridge2105]

@ITipCowsWorldWide Well he still needs an amp

[@rasigs]

check out micheals (the drummer) new band swamp thing there briallant

[@hpsnoob]

@lespaul817 No jokes, your true.

[@beardown091]

BTW...some of his songs are just for the instruments and not so much what he's saying in his songs...listen to the lyrics for zebra and used to get high...his brand new song has some good lyrics that goverments should listen too

[@Strike0329]

Holy fuck

[@kingfranckribery]

@sapila28 oh jeaahh! whats his name?

[@awwallac]

@Gehvoy687 actually its not the ORIGINAL trio... this was at least the third lineup JBT has had.

[@Fugix]

Waar was dat?

[@hpsnoob]

ibanez is R I G H T !!!!
