o.k, I'll play.

Only in town for 2nd weekend, but Mr. Soul & I will be at Howlin' Wolf on 5/04 for the Rendezvous. Only other tix we have are for Corinne Bailey Ray on 5/05 at Tips. I'm fighting the urge to get tix for Ivan & Dumpstaphunk on Sunday night. At our age, I'm not sure we'll still be breathing, much less going to shows. But if we're breathin' that's prolly where you'll find us.!

I can pull three 24 hours at 50 yrs but I will pay the price when I get home. My daughter asked since we are getting home Monday shortly after school "does this mean we can have family dinner?" I told her no way!!! Pops and me are sleeping!! I figure I can sleep from 4 or 5 AM until 10 that is plenty for this lady. I may be getting older but still have some endurance! You are funny. The thing with NO, I don't want to miss what I can't see at home in DC.

That is cause you know who they are, where to be and don't want to miss them. Good for you. I am not in the circle yet! Have a great time. I am getting a good idea this may be my only New Orleans visit in 2007 (bummer) so I want to do all I can while there.

Can bet you will get what you what and need from fest this year. Happy for you, you very kind gentleman. Bill you are such a cool poster, do hope to meet you over 1st weekend!

That's what I've got so far too. The rest of my plans are still pretty tentative.

Thanks Belle....you make me blush :o ...hope to meet you too. I understand wanting to do and see everything you can. My first few years, we didn't know anyone...we used to run around after the Fest trying to get to all the restaurants we'd heard about...rush off to some concert or show. That was great and had a great time doing it. Then, we fell in with the Kats and made some long lasting friends....friends that I usually only get to see once a year. So now, I take the time to savor those moments. Frankly, one of the reasons we went 12 years straight was to renew those friendships every year. We finally decided to take a year off to spend our vacation time and money doing something different. Then, last year, it was a work issue that kept us from coming back. So, I guess as I get older and have sampled a lot of what New Orleans has to offer, I don't feel I have to do all and see all anymore. But that's just me! :) (I know...thread drift!)

Belle, come see the underdawgs with us at bontempsroule sunday night. I like the blue nile late night shows and tips for galactic. You might like the voice of the wetlands show. I'm pretty sure pc is going to that one, along with some others.
Festvet, I'll likely see you at some of those shows. Trust me and add the underdawgs to your show list at least one night. They give up some tight funky stuff!

Did you mean to leave out Sunday, the 29th?

[Orleansnj]

Did you mean to leave out Sunday, the 29th?

Silly PC - that's the all nighter - I bet Corona is just thinkin' Saturday is going to bleed into Sunday....it's the dawgs, followed by the howlin' wolf show, and then who knows what the hell we'll end up doin !!!

In case anyone is tryin' to decide what to do on Sunday the 29th - we're heading to Carrollton Station that night to see a school buddy of my husband - Jim McCormick - and anyone else playing that night.

I want a late late show for all nights! Suggestions please

First weekend late night suggestions as per your request:
Fri -
1) Dumpstaphunk @ Howlin' Wolf -Great funk band with 2 bass players - great New Orleans feel - love the originals and they do a great Sly and the Family Stone cover
2) Eric Lindel @ dba- Sings blues/soul that make you happy to be alive.
3) Vinyl @Maple Leaf - they play this gig every year and it is usually one of the highlights of fest if you are willing to hang until 6AM (may sell out)
4) Soulive @ Tips - I'm not a big fan of this jam band (too noodly IMHO) but I'm clearly in the minority (may sell out)

Sat -
1) Galactic @Tips - One of my favorite first weekend shows (will sell out)
2) Vidacovich, Dillon, Houser, Skerik @ Maple Leaf - Improv jazz and funk - great musicians, but I don't get that kind of jazz yet

Sun -
1) Underdawgs @Le Bon Temps Roule - Great new New Orleans band
2) New Mastersounds @ Blue Nile - Funk band from England - never seen them, sounds good on line

That's my 2 cents. By the way, I wish I was as prepared and plugged in my first fest, but even though I wasn't, I had a great time. Jazzfest is the only place that I feel is a no lose proposition.

[Belle]

Get your butt to the Underdawgs ath the Bon Temps Roulez on Magazine St. They're doing a 2 a.m. show 1st weekend and they are AWESOME!!!


Geeze Lis sounds good and what I was looking for....this is not on the grids huh? Sounds great!!! Now is that 2 AM Saturday or 2 AM sunday silly? I am really confused..so could someone set me straight? Thanx in advance.

You won't need tickets for those two. I doubt they even sell advance tickets.

[ohio]

Thur 4/26
Early - Chris Ardoin/Geno Delafose @ Rock & Bowl (gotta dance)
Middle - Soul Rebels @ Le Bon Temps or Mofro/Lindell @ Tips or Billy Iuso @ Kajun's
Late - Ivan, Krasno, Deitch, etc @ Blue Nile
That Krasno, Ivan show is very intriguing!

[Corona]

Okay, I should have been more specific. Sunday NIGHT, the 29th (after fest). :)
I think we're gonna chill and bum around Sunday, put the kiddies to bed and head out to the Bon Temps around midnight to see the Underdawgs like we did during Mardi Gras...that's why I left it out. VOW is Satuday night at 1 am right?

[Corona]

I'm not seeing Wed May 2??????;) ;)
We're gonna try Rosetree...rides, packing and a ride to whisk the girls to the airport must all be in order first. Too expensive to take a from the West Bank to the airport and then back to the Marigny....We're gonna try real hard :)

[Corona]

Geeze Lis sounds good and what I was looking for....this is not on the grids huh? Sounds great!!! Now is that 2 AM Saturday or 2 AM sunday silly? I am really confused..so could someone set me straight? Thanx in advance.
2 am Sunday girl....it should be on the grids....under Le Bon Temps Roulez

[Jordan]

That Krasno, Ivan show is very intriguing!

Yes, got tickets for that one. Krasno is one of my favorite guitarists as far as solos go -- he adds so much energy to a show. And I'll see Ivan any night -- there are better B3 players and better singers, but no one exudes more joy than Ivan. I'm sure that if you don't go, Krasno will sit in everywhere.

[pokerchick66]

Correct! :D

[Festvet]

I would never try to keep up with Festvet! :D My only confirmed so far is Mofro/Anders/ Eric Lindell on the 26th at Tips. May just spend more time with old friends that I only see once a year, eating and drinking after the Fest.
haha. I'm finding it hard to keep up with my ambitions these days too. That turnin 50 last month was tough! Will see ya at Tip's though on the 26th, right after I catch Shannon McNally open for Mr Broussard at Republic.

[nealbook]

This thread reminded me of the power of these boards. It makes me think of 2005 when, because of this board and a thread about nightime shows/Robert Randolph and the Family Band, I was able to get front row seats for the Robert Randolph show at the Saenger Theater. May even have been Corona who alerted us all to the presale or whatever was going on that allowed people from these boards to take over the first rows of that show.

So many good New Orleans memories.....

Jordan and FestVet...looks like we'll be runnin' in the same (late night/early morning) circles again this year. =)

Lookin' forward to it.

New Mastersounds...saw them a couple of years ago at High Sierra. I liked them a lot. Very funky, groove-oriented, danceable music. No vocals that I can recall and Karl D. sat in for a few tunes.

this is for nealbook. Saw your post about Robert Randolph. Have you heard Colorblind? It's their new CD and it is fantastic. I have been looking all over but can't find them playing anywhere. Their web site only has a few dates on it. Anybody know anything about them?

[dank_bass]

thanks Bill.

I think it just means that theyre playing longer than a normal single band two set show .... DJ Logic is normally in the late night scene, so instead of viewing it as two sets, the owner of the wolf is touting it as two shows/sets ... my guess is its just a long concert

[Bill/KC]

Robert Randolph is on tour with Ziggy Marley. Check RR's website or Pollstar.com for dates.

I think you are right on the money. I think this could really be a jam-o-rama. Maybe with lots of different people that have other shows going on around town sitting in for short periods of time.

[withbellson]

Please...can anyone point us to a list of performers around NO the second weekend? Where can we see that...? We'd love to see Lucinda Williams.

I would have been so lost without this board for my first fest....hell, I'd be lost without it now! That was awesome huh Neal? :)

oh man, don't even get me started! :) I didn't like Colorblind much at all but if you pick up Classified or Live at the Wetlands, you'll get a load of Robert when he was hard core into the pedal steel guitar. He's touring with Dave Matthews this summer I think.....

[2ForTheFest]

Yikes, really can't plan this year to save my life. Besides the Patry and anywhere Shamarr is playing, we're playing it by ear.
Really taking it easy on driving ourselves crazy and gonna let this year just happen.

[eat_mo_crawfish]

I'm thinking the same (Kim Carson), no big night plans (Kim Carson), just go with the flow (Kim Carson).

[2ForTheFest]

Does Kim realize your stalking her again? I thought restaining orders don't expire.

Hi Corona, I will check out those other CDs, did you at least like the first song, "Ain't nothing wrong with that"? You can't listen to that and not move. I will be seeing them at the Chesapeake Bay Festival later in the summer. I know I slaughtered the spelling, sorry. How about the new John Butler Trio CD, "Grand National"? Are we on common ground there? I love it, I think "Groovin' Slowly" cut #8 has got to be one of the top 10 make out songs of all time. Just got my tickets for the House of Blues show, just looking at them makes me smile but I know understand why everyone hates ticket master. I am embarrassed to admit what I paid for two $18.00 tickets.

It's not stalking until a Judge says so.

hey Trixie, yup I agree about the first song on Colorblind but some of the others just weren't that exciting...I was really, really sad actually because I adore RR. Check out #5 on Classified, can't think of the name but that songs blows my socks off :) John Butler Trio is fantastic!!! Definitely common ground with that one!! :)

[Amyloves...]

Ozzie....you could catch Trombone Shorty really late first Thursday night at Howlin Wolf at the Papa Mali thing. Or first Saturday night if it works around Jon Cleary. Best bet might be 2nd Thursday at 6pm at the Ogden.

[Corona]

You really need to see him Oz, it's worth it!!! That boy is smokin' :)

[Corona]

Question: The Wild Magnolias, Bonerama and Kermit are all playing Rock and Bowl on 1st Saturday night...start time is on the calendar for 8:30. I want my girls to see the Wild Maggies more than anything...and a bit of Kermit would be a bonus. I hear the Maggies will likely go on first but I'm wondering what time 8:30 is Nola time....for RnB?

The reason is I'm not missing the Underdawgs at Rays Saturday night....I think doors are 9:00 and I'm predicting a 10-10:30 start for the Underdawgs. Trying to see if I can catch at least the Maggies at RnB and then shoot over to Ray's to catch everyone who are gonna hang out before the VOW gig at Howling Wolf at 1 a.m.

Thoughts????? If I can only pick one....it's the Underdawgs at Rays as planned.....

[funkkjunkie]

[McGregor]

I envy everyone of you out of towners that are able to do the whole fest and days in between.

I look up to you and one day hope to join the club.

All I have to do is ask off I because but I've never really considered it...until now.

Do some hotels give you a reduced rate for 10 nights?

[funkkjunkie]

Yes, mcgregor, some do give discounted rates for long stays AND I had a room booked at Hotel Royal that was $79 on weekdays and 99 on weekends, I think it was. But now i'm at chateau lemoyne, which we got on hotwire or priceline for about 115 a night and that includes taxes, etc. Changed to the lemoyne because hotel royal was only one bed AND lemoyne has lots of THs! And if you're willing to stay out in metarie, you can get great rates.

[tangledupinblue]

Here's my current plan to kill myself:

4/26, Howlin Wolf - T. Andersson et al and stay for the Papa Mali deal
4/27, Fest, Tips - Cowboy Mouth
4/28, Fest, Rays - Underdawgs, then Rock N Bowl
4/29, Fest, HOB - John Butler Trio

5/7, instores

HA HA....Amy I had to read what you guys were planning on Thursday May 3rd when we get in, and I had to laugh at Bourbon Street Karaoke.....SO FUNNY!

We will be going to LMF and then to the Fan Fest and then up in the air so who knows if we will be up on a stage together later that night... SINGING it up.... ha ha!

wonderful wish list there, KK...but what about spearhead?

[mymecca]

cannot fully flesh out my wish list without LMF instore info...and what is the thang at the ritz carlton juneau penthouse on first sat?...with zig and russh from south africa?...cannot find any more info so far...

[funkkjunkie]

I saw that, my mecca, and wondered if that was your zig. And both franti late shows are on my longer night show list. I just dont' know how many late shows i'll actually be able to pull off. Just depends on available supplementalization, i guess. And I did just see him in March in Fayetteville.
:cool:

All I have to do is ask off I because but I've never really considered it...until now.

Do some hotels give you a reduced rate for 10 nights?
McGregor, I've been staying at the Residence Inn on St Joseph since it opened in '98. If you stay 14 nights (or more) the rate drops from 189/night to 119/night. Used to be 109 until this year. The room sleeps two couples comfortably if you switch nights between the queen pullout sofabed and the queen bedroom. I usually just stay alone and love the space it provides. Very nice courtyard and pool. Quiet area just around the corner from Howlin Wolf, Emerils and two blocks from 1-10/Crescent City Connection. Parking is under $20/day and even less a couple blocks away it's only $5 for 24hrs. Walking distance to FQ, Howlin Wolf, Republic, Circle Bar, Rusty Nail (formerly Mermaid Lounge). Five minute drive to Tip's along Tchoupitoulas...

[jenni]

[hewboy22]

not sure how i missed this thread but here goes...

most of the "definites" are really definite, some of the "possibles" are not really possible at all but fun to humor myself with, hahaha. i was bored one night and decided to throw this together. seeing that im staying a stones throw from frenchmen st. i could see hitting a few of those boom boom room presents shows at the blue nile, end the nights(mornings) close to home :) just so many options, it's dizzying.

3 weeks!

So many good New Orleans memories.....


That's an especially good one!

Been tied up for a few days and just checking on the boards again. Definitely a great memory and a reminder of how kind the people on these boards are about sharing info on all things Jazzfest!

I would have been so lost without this board for my first fest....hell, I'd be lost without it now! That was awesome huh Neal? :)


Corona, I can't say what my favorite nighttime show during Fest has been because I have attended too many great ones to decide. But if I had list of the top nighttime shows, that show would be on there - probably even if I had not been in the front row
