Flagging Down The Double Es : Rolling Thunder Revue Reviewed NEW ORLEANS | RAY PADGETT

One of the Most Talked-About Shows of the Rolling Thunder Revue
1976-05-03, The Warehouse, New Orleans, LA

Today’s New Orleans tape—one of two that day—is perhaps the best-known concert we’ve hit so far, in large part due to the stellar soundboard. And we’ll get to that in a minute. But first, I want to talk about where Dylan and the entourage went the night before the show.
Answer: A Tom Waits concert! This syndicated news item ran in the New Orleans Times-Picayune:
Singer-songwriter Tom Waits had some special company during a recent show at Ballinjax Electric Bistro in New Orleans. After his first set, the Rolling Thunder Revue troupe—82 members and hangers-on-strong—strolled in, fresh from a party aboard the steamboat Natchez. All the principals were there—Bob Dylan (attired in turban, shades, black leather jacket and smoking a pipe). Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn and Kinky Friedman—and the latter three commandeered the stage for a stretch. First up was McGuinn, who did 30 minutes’ worth of tunes. Friedman followed with a four-song set, and then Baez—dressed in a two-piece white suit—stepped up to sing a cappella a new tune that she said would be the title song on her next album. A line in the tune drew the biggest cheer of the night: “Women are not equal to men—but you can never tell it by me.” Dylan didn’t budge from his front-row center seat, and he left shortly after Waits finally was able to see his way clear to the stage.
Waits apparently was not amused. He nicknamed them the “Rolling Blunder Revue” and complained to Rolling Stone a few months later, “They got up there for an hour just before I was supposed to begin my set. Nobody even asked me; before I knew it, fuckin’ Roger McGuinn was up there playing guitar and singing and Joan Baez and Kinky were singing. By the time I got onstage the audience was stoked. They were all lookin’ around the room and shit. I don’t need this crap—it was my show. I was drinkin’ too much on top of everything else.”
I guess Tom wished he wasn’t in New Orleans that night!
When I interview Rolling Thunder 1976 participants, the New Orleans shows come up a lot. Maybe more than any other 1976 show outside Fort Collins (which became Hard Rain). People mention them for a fairly wide variety of reasons too.

"Brian Jones was one of the first people in Britain to play slide guitar and his love of the blues was at the heart of what he and the rest of The Rolling Stones were all about when they started out. His musicianship, especially in the early days of the band, added so much the singles that propelled The Rolling Stones into the pop charts; it was his fashion sense and his hairstyle, that appealed to both men and women, that were copied by bands on both sides of the Atlantic.Join Brian Jones Rock n Roll Revival for another great show at Aquarius Bar & Grille!

John Prine: Lake Marie, When I Get to Heaven, Paradise | Alan Bershaw
the last songs . . . . .
Another superb choice from
Alan Bershaw
who says: "That big stash of Capitol Theatre shows that recently surfaced didn’t just contain uncirculated footage of jambands and classic rock artists, but most thankfully THIS, which damn near qualifies as a national treasure!This may even be the last professionally shot concert footage of John Prine ever, captured live at The Capitol Theatre in Portchester, NY on April 12, 2019 - just shy of a year before his death. There’s a bunch of cell phone footage from his final year, but nothing I’ve ever seen that can touch this. John was ailing plenty at that point, but he is so fully engaged in this performance, it’s inspiring to see.He played for well over two hours, and this is the wonderful tail end of it, with better audio now synchronized. The songs speak for themselves and what songs they are! Nobody addressed the human condition in song better than John.Lake Marie When I Get to Heaven ParadisePersonnel: John Prine - guitar, lead vocals Courtney Marie Andrews - vocals Fats Kaplan - pedal steel, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, vocals Jason Wilbur - guitar, vocals Dave Jacques - bass, vocals, kazoo Ken Blevins - drums
Except it always raises a tear but heck he could still cut it right til the end
We miss you JP!
