A sad week for New Orleans. First the loss of Leah Chase, now Dr. John. I saw him live in the early 1990s at First Avenue, Prince’s club. Going Back to New Orleans is one of my favorite albums, and his post-Katrina album The City That Care Forgot is an an underappreciated classic. The definitive artistic statement on Hurricane Katrina and it’s aftermath. The man had a colorful life. Going to have to pick up his biography, Under a Hoodoo Moon: The Life of the Night Tripper. His obit from Nola.com:
Dr. John, a true New Orleans music legend, dies at age 77

I was informed by the person I attended this show with that it was not in fact at First Avenue, but at the nearby Fine Line.
