READ NOWOrganisers said it was a great atmosphere and thanked all the volunteers for making the event possible.
Butler performed in the natural amphitheatre under the Pinjarra suspension in Cantwell Park, backed by the Murray River and native bush.
Fans cheered, danced and even developed a writhing mosh pit.
Butler was introduced by his high school music teacher who shared with the audience snippets of Butler’s teenage years.
Sharing the bill were dancing children from the local Noongar community, Ricky Green, Adam Springhetti and others.
It must be said that another star of the show was the 1956 Chevy truck that acted as a stage, an evening out from its garage in the Roger May Museum at historic Pinjarra homestead Edenvale.
A great and noisy night was enjoyed by all, with special thanks to Butler, great musician and political conscience – a force for the future.
The word’s ‘awesome’ and ‘legend’ are overused in modern parlance but not in describing this performance.
