about

"Bring Me The Butter" is something VERY SPECIAL. Prog lovers are going to love this one. Glass used to haul around our Revox reel-to-reel tape recorder and record our gigs in the early '70s. This is a VERY RARE 1973 live recording of Glass at "The Cave," a student-run club in the basement of the Student Union Building at Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma WA. It literally had the acoustics of a cave too! All concrete walls. Back in the day Glass had a fan named Chris Lunn who loved what we were doing and would occasionally get us gigs in the Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia Washington area. This was one of his bookings. And yeah, we were WAY too loud for its tiny concrete dimensions. How our resident soundman Erik Poulsen was ever able to pull a decent live recording out with our Revox I'll never know. Anyway, sit back, imagine you're in a college coffee house smoking some . .well you get the picture. . and trip out to the sounds of Washington State's First Progressive Band!

What strikes me about this previously-unreleased recording is the sheer amount of song ideas packed into it's 11 minutes and 16 seconds. My brother Greg is responsible for the majority of those ideas but I have a couple of my Chris Squire-influenced bass lick sections as well. By the way, Greg's original title for this suite was “Untitled Suite in C” but Erik and I had just seen “Last Tango in Paris” with Marlon Brando. Greg wasn’t pleased but it stuck anyway. (-; Enjoy~

"The Cave recording was in 1973, shortly before we moved back to Port Townsend in Feb. 1974. I remember it distinctly because it’s the only time we played the Suite that I wrote as my college “thesis” in Norman Durkee’s class. The suite was nicknamed “Bring Me The Butter”, which was a quote from the film “The Tango in Paris” (I never liked that title, BTW). I can date that time because it was first semester of my third year at Evergreen, so it was October - December 1973."
-Greg
