Night Shows

[funkkjunkie]

I KNOw the grids have a lot of filling up to do but I started making my list of possible shows I want to see and I ran into a festvet kind of problem.
First night in town-first Friday- I want to see the 2am soulive show because I will have missed them at the fairgrounds.
Second night in town-I want to see Vidacovich, Houser, Dillon and Skerik at 3:30am
And Sunday night the Stanton Moore trio at midnight.
This could really affect my ability to get to the fairgrounds.
FOMS!

[Jordan]

My solution is the post fest nap! Eat dinner at the fest, sleep from 7:00 - 10:00, see music till 6AM, and sleep 'till 10. That's a full 7 hours of sleep!

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

So much music, so little time. If I miss Deacon John out at the Fair Grounds then hope to catch him 2nd Sun. evening. Night shows can only help with a bad case of FOMS.

[Zydekitten]

Disco Naps, babeeee!!! :D

[funkkjunkie]

I can do it. I know I can. Did it for mardi gras and survived to tell about it. Ok, so it took a good week to recover but still.

Saturday -- Cowboy Mouth at Howlin Wolf
Sunday -- Dumpstaphunk & Trio at Tips
Monday -- in stores

[Lester_leaps_in]

How much advanced planning is needed to see the night shows you want to see? Are tickets involved? Can they be ordered in advance? Can you go early, pay the cover or whatever, leave and come back at showtime?

Help a rookie out, please and thank you.

[MormonMatthew]

Hey Now Lester, at least for Tipitinas and House of Blues shows, advance tickets are certainly the way to go!!! Howlin Wolf, Southport Hall shows can USUALLY be taken care of at the door, but in general, if there is a show that you really want to see, there is no reason not to get it in advance. If something else comes along, you can always sell (or just give away- "miracle") the unwanted ticket and still go with the flow, but still have the bases covered!!! Good luck, you will LOVE Jazzfest!!! Matthew

[Lester_leaps_in]

Thanks, Matthew. 'Preciate it.

[Newcomer]

The biggest problem with the night shows on fest days is dead legs. Last year was my first fest. On the last night, I made it halfway through Jamakazi at Howlin' Wolf (concrete floors). This year, I'm definitely shooting for club shows the night before first weekend, maybe Dr. John at HOB or Henry Butler at HW, and IAC on the night after. Also looking at Soul Rebels at Cafe Brasil on Friday. It's pretty easy to overbook, especially if you have to stand. I'm counting on Snug to post some good shows during first weekend.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Thursday -- Mofro, Anders & Eric Lindell at Tips
That show does look interesting. First night in town & what a way to kick off JF 07.

[jhjpotter]

My solution is the post fest nap!This is my kryptonite at fest, once i'm down it's usually till the morning. I am cautious about even going to my hotel room, which is needed for the shower and change, etc. but I stay as far away from the bed as possible, and it's an in and out stop. I'm a big fan of a nice cool pool dip to refresh.

[jhjpotter]

I can do it. I know I can. Did it for mardi gras and survived to tell about it. Ok, so it took a good week to recover but still.Still recovering. Caught a nasty cough when i got home and just about over it finally.

[csoul]

O.k., this might be considered a dumb ?, but I'm gonna' ask anyways...
On May 4 (2nd Friday) at the Howlin' Wolf, are there 2 different shows between NOSC & the Bayou Rendezvous, or if you buy 1 ticket, will it get you into both shows???? I know usually ya' need 2 tix, but this appears to be an overlapping show.

[funkkjunkie]

I don't usually prepurchase because my plans have a tendency to change when in nawlins. But if you are absolutely sure you wanna see a show, go for it!
jhp, do you need a doc visit? Take care of yourself!
And that reminds me. If the underdawgs are playing somewhere besides the patry, they will definitely be on my list.

[MormonMatthew]

I think that when the New Orleans Social Club is finished, they will clear the room, then after everyone is out, those who have a ticket to the B.R. will be allowed back in. I dont think they will let those at the Social Club show stick around for the Rendezvous for free.

Thx, MormonMat. Not the answer I was really lookin' for, but thanks for your help!!!

[MormonMatthew]

Hey Now Csoul- that is just an educated guess, based on past years at the Wolf.... I may very well be mistaken. By the way the New Orleans Social Club is soooooo good. Caught thier show in Austin and was blown away!!! Of course, anything with George Porter is gonna be a fine show!!!

Amen sister El!! I hear ya. I refuse to buy tix for at least another month. I'm gonna try really, really hard to wait.

[mymecca]

fest frenzy has begun...woooooooohoooooooo!

[ozzie]

Just bought tix for Piano Night... and will call is our only option to get the tickets. No problem, but for US and Canada will call is no charge (God love 'em) but if you're anywhere else in the world they ALSO add $2.50 per ticket for the convenience of collecting your tickets yourself from the bloody venue! :mad:

Rant over.... please continue.

[Amy Winette]

Neen, like yer schedule, looks a lot like ours so far :)

[where yat brah]

I'm personally pretty hyped about Buddy Guy and Susan Tedeschi first Friday. I've seen both but never together or back-to-back.

I know but I want to wait...whenever I buy tix for something, something else ALWAYS comes up within a few days. Still too early.....it's soooo hard to hold back!
I was gonna by for 2nd Sunday for Tips but now the Bayou Rendezvous is here for Friday....I'm gonna choose between the 2 cuz I want to expose the boys to some Injuns and brass bands too. Don't want to buy tix every night cuz I want time to take them on Frenchmen etc. So hard to wait though....

That would be great. I hope so as well. Wonder if and when we will know who is playing at this...

[KYfunkfan]

...first time i'm seeing this thread...

this one is for my blood bruthas and sistas that know what it's like to think you are not going to make it back to your hotel room because your legs are giving out...

i've gotten to where i go to jazzfest primarily for the night shows...

i applaud those that are preplanning their night time activities, but i might suggest you would be foolish at this point to do so UNLESS you have a show or two you definitely want to catch...

sounds like funkjunkie is my kind of fester....fyi, i passed on catchin' soulive around here recently because they are a bit different than they have been in the past....i'm sorry to have to say that, but it's true...however, catchin' Eric Krasno with Dumpstaphunk on the second weekend at Tips is somethin' you should definitely plan...

for those of you lookin' for the funk, find the time to catch Dumpstaphunk...saw them at Tips last year (had seen 'em befo) and that show was probably my fest highlight of the past five years.

[funkkjunkie]

I can say with confidence that i never follow my plan but it sure is fun making it. Sometime during the week I have to just chill and sleep.

[saturn]

My list so far (and subject to change on a whim)

Friday, April 27th - NMA at One-Eyed Jacks or Jon Cleary's The Good, The Bad and the Funky at Preservation Hall

Saturday, Apr 28th - Tab Benoit, VOW at Howlin' Wolf or Bo Dollis, Wild Mags, Kermit, Bonerama at Rock'n'Bowl

Sunday, Apr 29th - still open

Monday, Apr 30th - MoFest (daytime)
Instruments -A-Comin - Tipitinas

Tuesday, May 1st - Patry

Wednesday, May 2nd - Rosetree Gallery (daytime)
Ingrid's Backyard Party

Thursday, May 3rd - lots of choices, no decision yet - would love to do Michael Franti, but late night shows are not good for me.

Friday, May 4th - Bayou Rendezvous - Howlin' Wolf

Saturday, May 5th - Corinne Bailey Rae - Tipitinas or Jon Cleary - Maple Leaf

Sunday, May 6th - Sonny Landreth, Anders Osborne - Rock'n'Bowl

Just putting some structure to the week but I have no intention of killing myself to get to all these places. There will be a priority list for sure. Having said that....we had a similar schedule last year, maybe a bit worse..made it to EVERYTHING and fest everyday for Liuzza's in the a.m :)

[jhjpotter]

kyfunk, yyr, i feel like funkin it up. I've never seen soulive live but have a few of their cds. So tell me how they are different. Different like galactic has become different from their beginnings-developing a harder, rockier edge?

[frangooch]

Help a rookie out, please and thank you.

Last year I did a lot of advance planning. Festing all day, dinner at Brigtsen's, K-Paul's, Irene's, then off to Rock and Bowl (Thurs/Sat) followed by Donna's for late night, or HOB (Fri/Sun for Etta James and Dr John shows). I found myself literally falling asleep on my feet for the last two, even though the shows were great. Now, I'm getting on in years, but some pace and flexibility might be in order. Depends on your level of endurance, I guess ;-)

Having said that, a few years ago I did not get adavnce tix to see the Neville's at Tip's, and got shut out at the door. Just goes to show, it's always something.....

[pokerchick66]

My nighttime show list:

Tab Benoit Voice of the Wetlands/Johnny Sansone @ Howlin Wolf, Sat. April 28th.


Everything else:

Whatever happens. :D

[Lester_leaps_in]

Planning is helping me get through the waiting, but, as I learned in the Corps, no plan survives contact with the enemy.

[mymecca]

it's best just to get to the rock n bowl...often enough, it's true...great shows, great dancefloor, great flowthrough...and food pucks if you didn't find time for that...although now that i have been hipped to the fest doggie bag idea, i have less need for stop gap fuel...

[mightyradgumbo]

As Warren Zevon so eloquently put it: "I'll sleep when I'm Dead" I love to put a night show schedule together to see how much I actually make of it. Sometimes it is dead-on, Sometimes not even close. I actually only buy tix to things that I know without a doubt I am going to-IAC is one and it looks like this VOW gig at the howlin wolf is #2

Way too many to choose from. What a great delimma. :)

No question that you do not know the answer to is a "silly" question! Ask away! :)

[funkkjunkie]

Lester, picture this. You go in the Rocknbowl front doors and immediately start the climb up the stairs. At the top, you look straight ahead and see the lanes that run all across the back of the club. Look left and you're looking at the bar. Look right and you see the stage against the far wall. Bathrooms are on that wall too. www.rockandbowl.com So if you have a lane, you can use it to dance and/or to bowl!

[stynger]

You folks are gonna get tired of my silly questions, but to you *have* to bowl at Rock 'N' Bowl?

No, but you do have to rock. aka enjoy yourself. It ain't hard.

Lester, there are NO silly questions here. You would not believe how many questions I asked for my first fest. These guys on here were so cool and answered them all with a smile :)

[hikerlady]

Rock n bowl sounds like a blast. Must admit that coming to the forum makes me more and more and MORE excited for the fest.

My husband says that my FOMS (fear of missing something) has never been this intense, this early. He can't wait for me to get on the plane so he has a few days peace before he flies down.....

He said my longing for jazz fest is getting worse each year - and if I hurry up and get it together I wouldn't be in this position because we could move back - like we're supposed to. (excellent sentence, even ending in a preposition - very nice). I now have a deadline - no more than 18 months.

[Zydekitten]

Yeah, I'm somewhat in the same boat (anticipation-wise). If Denbear doesn't get his house back in his divorce proceedings (in progress) - he's seriously considering taking his half of the settlement and moving back to New Orleans and I told him, I'd move there to be with him.

Who knows . . . could happen

[Corona]

roflmao....your writing will definitley deteriorate on this bored! I'm a social worker and write reports everyday. If they saw my sentence structure when I write on here I'd be fired!!!:eek:

It's wonderful to hear people planning to move back to N.O.!!! Good girls :)

[Zydekitten]

Well, I'd miss the volunteer work (and the skiing) I do here - but I feel I could so much more for the city that I love so much by being there and doing work down there. :D

[Zydekitten]

Not to mention that it's somewhere we could actually afford to buy a house - can't here . . .

I can hear the wheels turnin' as we speak :)

[NeenAtlanta]

oooh, my kid is dying to bowl at RocknBowl. How does it work Neen? I'd love to get our 4-some involved with that. Do you reserve lanes?

You just show up and put your name on the list. If you go fairly early, you can get a lane right away.

If there is going to be a whole bunch of us, we might want to get 2-3 lanes together. That would definitely mean some folks getting there early.

[Orleansnj]

Not to mention that it's somewhere we could actually afford to buy a house - can't here . . .

now I definitely am in the same boat...nice swimmin in the same ocean -eh?

I will think good thoughts and y'all can move back soon and then we'll have a party to celebrate !!

[funkkjunkie]

Reminds me of a joke. And before I tell it, my son who is a writer, showed me in one of his writing books where it says it's ok to end a sentence with a preposition.
Southern Girl gets on a plane sooo excited because she's on her way to jazzfest. Two peeps are sitting next to her. She buckles up and says, Hi. Where are yall from? Lady next to her says I'm from a place where we know better than to end a sentence in a preposition. SG says, Ok. where are yall from, bitch?

[Orleansnj]

ROFLMAO - I would so say something like that.......:o

I seem to have an intense aversion to condescending people.

LMAO!! That's a GREAT joke! Although coming from a family of educators, I still have a hard time feeling comfortable ending a sentence with a preposition - even if it is more accepted these days. I guess I'm just hopelessly old school. :o

i think that's why i adopted the "..." for informal chatting...don't need full punctuation and sentence structure to get the point across...makes the confab more congenial...of course, i still have to put in the apostrophe any time i drop a g or whatnot...

nothin' wrong with good grammar...or double negatives...that's just the TX talkin' ;0)

[KYfunkfan]

kyfunk, yyr, i feel like funkin it up. I've never seen soulive live but have a few of their cds. So tell me how they are different. Different like galactic has become different from their beginnings-developing a harder, rockier edge?

yeeeahh right brah.....funny you mention galactic, i did catch them a few weeks back, and i think i liked them better now than the first time i saw them several years ago.....very frat like when they first came out, they are now pretty intense with their work....not to mean they aren't having fun, but they fo real got they shizznitz together...

as for soulive, i got all except one of their cds....their older stuff is nutz funky....i will say this, you really should catch them, and when you do make sure you get close up to neal evans playin' (organ/bass clavinet player)...i first caught soulive, actually ventured to jazz fest in i think 2003 to see soulive, and about lost my mind watchin' and listening to neal evans play..

soulive has gotten more mainstream, and yeah, more "rockier" as you said....krasno hops around alot during fest with different players, and he usually gots the funk goin'...other band members don't play around with others...dunno why

.....which reminds me, brah you have got to check out the Fanastic Four.....adam deitch, cheme gasteleum, robert walter, erick krasno...go right here: http://www.archive.org/details/ff2004-12-17.flac
and when you open up the flash link for the show, select track 6..the name of the track is listed as "s2t02".....that whole show is dirty arse funky, but that song is so damn nasty sexy....shewwwweeeee!!!!!!!!

they played together at the House of Blues in 05 during fest.....i enjoyed it but was very tired at the time...

hey ky...just curious....funkkjunkie is a chica not a brah...unless brah can be used 'unisexually'? Not quite up on that lingo but just wondering if you thought she was a bro.... :)

OK, I am now officially scared to talk out loud in front of some of my best friends!! ;)

But back to night shows - I'M GOING TO ONE!!!!! LOL! ;)

well, i'm sorry to funkjunkie (ooopss)...i'm thinkin' she like i probably ain't too hung up on gender label errors.....(i'm hopin' at least!)...

i wouldn't call a girl "darlin'" though, that sounds a little demeaning....

maybe sista.....

(ok, i'm embarrassed, but i'll get over it!)

[funkkjunkie]

YYR, corona, i'm a chica alright. It's really no biggie, kyfunk. No worries here. It's that thing of not being able to seeee who you're talking to. And at most shows I go to, who's mostly up front really digging the music? Guys. Well except for the oooh, ooh, I love you because you're a musician girls. NOTE: This is a generalizatioin, not to include all the music lovers, male and female alike, who post here.

[jhjpotter]

Well let's try and get the bowling thing going when it gets closer. What time would we need to be there by? It's a fest day huh?

[funkkjunkie]

I hate it when (mostly)southerners I don't know call me honey or darlin or sweetie. But I love it when one of my peeps calls me those things. Thinking of Bar and Bry among many others right now. Muahhhh! and if you post here, well then, hunni, you are one of my peeps, esp since you love the funk!

[eat_mo_crawfish]

Heidi and I will probably go to two or three, we have to see our respective musical sweethearts, neither of whom will be at Fest: Kim Carson and Spencer Bohren. We're also big Jeff n Vida fans and will go to Kerry if they play a night show there. Otherwise, we might just be hanging with my family or Jamns, chillin and dinkin. It's all good.

See now, I like it when southern folks call me honey, sweetie or darlin' (I particuarly like that last one) . . . maybe it's because I'm half-Southern myself.

However, I really hate being called "dear" - it just comes off as so patronizing.

Here in Cali, dude is now used universally - regardless of gender - it's become like "aloha" in Hawaii. It can mean many different things depending on the vocal inflection. Dude!! Duuuude?? Duuuuuuuuuude . . . :D

I know Superfly is announcing their nighttime shows tomorrow (Tue Mar 6), though seeing Gov't Mule isn't really my idea of a prime JazzFest experience...:rolleyes:

Also, I have it on pretty good knowledge that Boom Boom Room Presents out of San Francisco is going to be doing a whole lotta shows at the Blue Nile on Frenchman St. The venue has been closed since last JazzFest for structuiral repairs post-Katrina, but BBRP-SF is renting the venue out for both weekends -- and the Daze Between -- and putting on shows just about every night. I know that New Mastersounds (great funk band from Britain) are playing first weekend, and Dr. Lonnie Smith is doing 1 or 2 shows as well. As soon as I get the full schedule from my buddy who runs BBRP, I'll send it off to jazzfestgrids.com - should be announced soon.

now brah (or honey, sista, darlin', or sugarpie sweetie buns) that is some of the best festin' news that has lord have mercy came across these ears given ta me by the great lord above!!! have mercy!!!

[Yangety!]

Irregardless of how I could of mispelt anything on this massage bored, I likes to write up all kindsa stuff innat way. Yeh yoo wright...:D

I agree, it is hard to do my nighttime wishlist yet, though it is great seeing everyone's "first draft", giving some new ideas to what I might want to check out on various nights.

Shows I have already bought tix for (since I won't miss them and ya gotta buy tix in advance for weekend Tips/HOB shows):

Thu 4/26 - MOFRO, Anders, Eric Lindell @ Tips -- this show has 3 of my favorite bands all in one, and should feature a lot on onstage cross-pollination between the bands. My buddy Chris Mule from Eric's band is the best unknown guitar slinger out there.

Sat 5/5 late night - Greyboy AllStars @ Tips -- another longtime favorite, can't think of a better way to do my last JF allnighter of the season than with Karl, Robert, and the guys -- look for many special guests at this one.

Also the Snooks/Tab combo at Rock'n'Bowl must come into play...

One thing that I am REALLY psyched about -- this year will be my first JazzFest (since 1988) where I *LIVE* in NOLA, having moved back to da hometown last September. So no worries on trying to fit it all in on a 4 or 5 day trip. Plus, many siblings coming in town for first weekend, and many old friends coming in town for second weekend.

Shaping up to be a banner year for Fesssssst!

[funkkjunkie]

All sweet terms of endearment. Hmmm, sounds like a threadhead subclique-grammar elitists.

BBRP has been doing shows during JazzFest for 6-7 years, usually putting together great "supergroup" shows that do unique performances. Some examples are:

Dragon Smoke - over the years this has featured 4 of Ivan Neville, Eric Lindell, Stanton Moore, Robert Mercurio, Jon Cleary, Eric Bolivar and a few others - originally done at the Dragon's Den, more recently at Blue Nile

Dr. Lonnie Smith, Idris Muhammed, Will Bernard, Donald Harrison Jr.

It'll be interesting to see what lineup they put together for this year's shows.

Thanks for the info Yangety. I'll keep an eye out for your suggestions when those shows are posted.

I'm doing my best this year to see new music this year. I'm horrible about going to what I know and love.

[Zydekitten]

I HATE being called Ma'am....but I LOVE being called Mah Baby.....especially by Ms. Lena..melts my heart every single time! :)

Yeah, I'm not big on "Ma'am" either - although I am getting to the state of decrepitude where I like it better than "Miss" . . . unless you add my name to the end of that. My friend Darren's nephews are SO cute - they call me Miss Lisa, which just charms me no end - but they was raised right.

I, too, absolutely LOVE it when Ms. Lena refers to me as "Mah Baby" - it is indeed hawt-melting! :)

YYR, the BBR is great!! I get their e-newsletter. There's also great shows that the Independent (also in S.F.) puts on - like the Mardi Gras bash with Ivan, George, Leo a week and a half ago. A bunch of we threadheads were there - so if they put on equally groovin' shows during Jazzfest - that would be off the hook!!

[jhjpotter]

Can someone enlighten me on what the bold above has to offer musically?BBRP is resppnsible for the vast majority of New Orleans focused shows that take place in San Francisco. They have a venue of their own and also use other local venues for great new orleans shows. I would give them a high rating in terms of the quality of the events they put on and the quality of the music at the events. They know who their target audience is and they know how to bring a great lineup of talent to cater to that audience.
