Butch Truck's tributes coming pouring in. LastThought & Videos

Butch Truck's tributes coming pouring in. Final Thought & Videos. 

 

    Finding out the cause of how Butch Trucks passed away broke my heart. The mental anguish and pain he must have been suffering through on a daily basis while bringing so many joy instantly brings a tear to my eye. I suffer with depression and over my lifetime a shit ton of problems. I do not pretend to understand Butch's pain, I only mention it because its 2017 and there is still a stigma around mental illness. Get over it and shine some empathy on a brother or a friend. I am glad Butch finally has peace.

  The Los Muertos Con Queso concert event being held in Riviera Maya, Mexico began yesterday with the Chris Robinson's Brotherhood , while Bobby and Billy debuted their new band to rave reviews. Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir and drummer Bill Kreutzmann were joined by W.S.P bassist Dave Schools, JRAD and American Babies guitarist Tom Hamilton and Jeff Chimenti in his usual chair behind the ivory. Beside Grateful Dead staples they played a awe-inspiring tribute to Butch Trucks last night when The Allman Brothers Band’s “Mountain Song” evolved out of Drums into Rev Gary Davis’ staple “Death Don't have No Mercy”. They ended the first night with a fitting double encore of “Liberty” and U.S. Blues. The festivities continue today with two sets of The String Cheese Incident and another performance by the Bobby and Billy band.
