(This is despite having been very impressed by live some radio broadcasts I'd heard of them on WNEW-FM from the Lonestar Roadhouse when I was still in high school). I do not have a lot of memories of this show...which starts out just OK as they bang through a lot of short songs quickly, but things start to heat up around 2/3 of the way through the first set with Doubled Up in a Knot and Love Is A Tangle (with the Allman Brothers' "Jessica" thrown in for good measure) and then bring it home with a strong closing of Long Hard Journey Home, Tipitina, Nighmare On The Misery Train, and Parliament's "Take Your Dead Ass Home". Can't go wrong with that! Set 2 also takes a little bit to heat up -- early on they play what seems to be a couple of rarer originals -- "Feedback Road" and "Life On Mars" (no, not the Bowie one that you're expecting), but really starts to pick up steam with their NOLA-flavored take on the Beatles' trippy "Tomorrow Never Knows" and then really kicks into gear with the "Henri/Firewater/Big Chief" medley, with "Lucinda" and the Meters' "Cissy Strut" bringing it home for a strong finish. A very meaty encore is a worthwhile mini set in and of itself -- a high energy cover of Gary "US" Bonds' "New Orleans", "Devil's Dream", the Curtis Mayfield classic "People Get Ready", and "I'm In The Mood" make for a great combo to send us home in a good mood. Enjoy!
