John Butler Trio - Treat Yo Mama (Live at Wave Aid)

[@drainmudvayne27]

15% of the population lives south of the equator and we are blessed with the best music, air and stars........ better treat ya muma well or you lose................................

[@samucalencar1]

How can you not see that this guy is EXTREMELY good at what he's doing? He's way better than lot's of guitarists out there who've got all the chops and shreds the shit out of their guitar but miss the clue about what music is really about. John Butler Trio knows what it's about.

[@charlesearle2055]

perfect technique does not equal soul and nuance

[@magoomus]

I never get tired of this song.

[@TheFirstGroover]

Coolest band that walk the earth

[@Seagullmania931]

this guy is savage he and his band are unbelievble musicians

[@55mobsta]

Thanks Patty i was one of those lucky Cameraman on the day. And let me tell ya the spirit on the day was Fuckkin Electric Great Gig PS We all donated our services,

[@FlamingDragonite]

he's just so passionate about his music he's a living legend!

[@Gbhbbgvsbnjhhdchhb]

This band rocks.....best rhythm section.......best version

[@bydrvd]

who are those 13 dislikes.......must not get it. They don't get him, his incredible talent, and the message he is putting out there in every song he performs.

[@thefoosa72]

Rush, Muse, Primus, John Butler Trio. The 4 greatest trios in music history.

[@4asgard5]

Many a moon after you posted this, but I feel a spiritual connection to this oddly specific list of bands brother.

[@gpljk]

Goosebumps every single time I listen to this song..... No words to describe!!!!!

[@lynlucas5573]

These guys r .musical genius s..that 11 string Moten guitar is crazy..the bass guy is awesome and the drummer is too. So much music from 3 people. Does anyone outthere realize how hard this is?? Plus he speaks in metaphors about treating mother Earth with RESPECT!!!

[@LorraineAshby]

You hear me boy - Treat Yo Mama with respect!!!! Love the funky guitar riff at the beginning! For all his commercial success John Butler has never compromised his music or hard edged political beliefs - a rarity in this business!!!!!

[@craigbostrom3117]

[@cindywuollet1]

I had the privilege of interviewing John when he was playing in Philly as I owned and operated a radio station. Met him at the venue and it was awesome!! One of the highlights in my life and he is so down to earth. I had a son and while we liked a lot of the same music I also had my favs independent of him. He died last year 35yo in my arms cardiac event. Worst day of my life and still is. But he callled me mama and always treated me with respect and love!

[@matonmagic]

I love your concept John Butler. Protest songs are deemed too risky for the record lables. Being indie gives you the right and the guts to do something in song. Love your work.

[@riffism]

JBT...the most interesting, original, musically talented group to come out since Dave Matthews. His sound is HUGE for just a 3-piece....and his guitar skills are RIDICULOUS.

[@heymottohere]

One of the Best performance ever!

[@marcoslegend]

this drummer is simply amazing, you cant find many drummers that play bongos and a giiant chinese cymbal :)

[@organicmechanic5150]

Unless you are Danny Carey from Tool. His drum kit is massive. He has eight mandalas, two hi hats, 4 rotor toms, 3 floor toms, two bass drums, triple kick pedal and two hi hat pedals, a custom snare made from copper and a shit load of symbals, including a gong, which he uses on his drum solos.

[@shanedriscoll4761]

These three are the best of all the JBT trios.

[@heathernewcomb7078]

Wow! A new favorite!♥️

[@Icecreamconekid2000]

The talent transcendent the years!

[@guitarmastaz]

i think this is one of his best live performance of the song Treat yo mama!

[@gussetblaster6786]

What i love more than anything about this gigantic live version is that it sounds better than Butler's studio album!

[@111177fb]

Hello, music finally feels as though it has some soul again !!!

[@scottleighton9149]

U still alive

[@nickmoroney1042]

Absolutely sublime performance!

[@simo6014]

Guitarsympathy the sticks Shannon birchall has on his mic stand are for the drum solo in funky tonight where they all go hard for a few minutes.. Pure magic

[@4TheMus1c]

ive seen them while visiting florida before in pompano beach, they rocked the house! theyre so amazing

[@stevenwilcox6260]

One of the hottest acks on the planet hardcore.RESPECT. JBT🇭🇲🎸🦅

[@johndmb16]

[@valeriechambers696]

Man!! What a great band! Love the slide!

[@skyblueeyes4u]

Absolutely great music!!! Lovin' the JBT!!!

[@DinoG808]

Man....This Bruddah is Awesome!

[@thebjm1967]

this music brings back some amazing memories...

[@nathanmueller1838]

I got to say this is when he had his locks man I miss his locks that’s was his style

[@saiyeedulislam3586]

I can't see any smartphones out there! Good days!

[@fabiogibson]

nice power trio, great guitar, drums and bass

[@juliusontherocks1922]

I never knew you could rock that hard without a guitar!!! Wild!!

[@wl357]

Just tripped my house amp jamming this song. Love JBT too much, I guess. Always have to tell my wife good music is never too loud. lol

[@MrBRREEETTTT]

If every human was half as talented as JBT this would be a much better place.

[@Icecreamconekid2000]

Michael Barker is an absolute beast on those drums!!

[@rebeccalockharth1842]

I can't..... I just can't... 😍😍😍🤗 I will use it on my channel playlist!

[@paddyclover2]

iT JUST GETS BETTER

[@MrNatalRocks]

Man, this solo at the Citara(I think it is), is so good, and the changes fo tones in the music makes me chill!

[@tonimarx6405]

Truly spectacular! What an epic ride!

[@cinci93kokka]

john butler, i love you

[@TzarChelo]

Dios que recuerdos. Mirad que calidad de vídeo más patata, nos flipaba y ponia la piel de gallina. La primera que le vi en directo fue en las primeras batallas de gallos contra el Zatu y fue épico!

[@aformenius]

i wish there was a love button!!!!

[@dacroozel3594]

This tune and this performance! Awesome.

[@mattmartyy]

[@shefow]

How much talent...

[@Abby5454]

[@sammontague3257]

Great song!

[@melissamear5391]

Now that's good music.

[@gino4225]

Don't call me hippy cause the way that I look , Cause I got a recipe and you know I can cook And I come forth with only good intent, You know I am Heaven bound but I'm surely hell bent On getting the job done like I know I should, Get the job done like my momma told me to. Only one thing can remember she said, You gotta earn all of your respect. And I don't care what race or what colour or what creed All that shit don't bother me, Only one thing that you should not forget , You gotta treat you mama with little respect And I don't care what fashion the styling of you hair, I don't care about the car or the clothes you do wear. Only one thing that you should not forget , You gotta treat yo mama with respect. Treat yo mama with little respect You better treat yo mama with little respect Slap you upside down the head You better treat yo mama with little respect Solos I got a couple of friends up in a tree in Northcliff You know they're doing their part You know they're doing their bit. Trying to save our Mother from all this greed You know they know what she wants, You know they know what she needs. I got a couple of sisters in South Australia, Stopping the Uranium from coming up, Oh yeah man you know they know what she needs They're stopping all of that government corporate greed!

[@friendofsyd]

yeah if you dont know how to play , you probably cant appreciate this man , he's got a dirty gritty thing there , and the best part , you can still catch him busking , true roots and respect. hes better than the rest

[@ohlala5681]

It's 2024 and I still don't have any clue of what kind of instrument hes playing, but it sounds so fucking cool it's mindblowing

[@thaedda]

i saw them live last year, the band kicks ass!! so, good luck for seeing them live, because after april, there will be no more John Butler Trio, then, it is only John Butler....:-(

[@peterdecton725]

[@Halifax888]

[@MACCA672]

Brilliant music is brilliant crowd is brilliant everything about this is just fuckn BRILLIANT

[@toadxstyle]

He's bowing- but he gets the rough, almost cello-like sound by playing very close to the bridge. he's also tilting the bow so fewer hairs are touching the strings and pressing down really hard. incredible performance by all three musicians.

[@windstorm73]

wow! great song.

[@0totoro0]

It was at Sydney cricket ground, Sat 29/01/2005

[@Boris56todorov56]

Джон Бътлър - българската следа в рока на Австралия!
