The Bitteroots at Buffington's
September 20, 2014 · Milledgeville, GA
The Bitteroots played their first show in Milledgeville on September 20, 2014, at Buffington's, bringing an eclectic 27-song set that blended their originals with covers spanning soul, blues, and rock. Among the night's highlights was the debut of "Lenny", a Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble cover, and "Rush Me", which marked the 50th time the band had played that original. "Remedy", unplayed since June 2008, resurfaced during the set, while Bill Taylor reached his 90th show with the band, anchoring a lineup that also included Mike Davis, Laura Dees, Derron Nuhfer, and Kyle Bryant. The setlist ranged from The Meters' "Cissy Strut" and The Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden" and "Gimme Shelter" through originals like "October", "Defenseless", and "French Fries", closing with a mix that took in Radiohead's "Creep" and Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)".
