Jazz Fest Music Video

[festydave]

To get you guys even more excited for Jazz Fest we have posted a music video in the gallery.

Enjoy.

[TheGuzilla]

YES YOU DID!! WOW!

well, that had the desired effect! VERY VERY fired up now!

(I don't suppose there's any way to get the HTML code to embed that on my blog is there? been doing a Jazz Fest countdown and that would really be beneficial to get those friends who are still on the fence!)

TRULY FANTASTIC!! :D :D :D

[Amy Winette]

LOVE IT!!

Among other things, saw 2 of my faves, crawfish monica and FRED in there :)

[funkkjunkie]

OMG! I've got chills. Perfect choice of music-Rebirth: Do whatcha wanna. I just screamed right here in my house by myself. We should play name that musician. I saw George Porter, Ben Ellman and Stanton Moore, Troy Andrews, pecan pie, mudbugs, George Porter and Brian Stolz, Bonerama, Imagination Movers, and Allen Toussaint.

[swag]

Cool.

I recall a similar video several years ago, not sure if it was here on the official site or elsewhere. Music was Marcia Ball. Anyone else remember that one?

[festydave]

We made this video to replace that one. It was old school - from the Jazz Fest movie Let the Good Times Roll on Island Video.

[breambob]

[dawson]

I'll be watching that at work on the NOLA countdown this week!!!

[Zydekitten]

Not only is it totally cool and just fires you up for Jazzfest . . . but in the crowd scene toward the end (where everyone in the shot stands up and cheers) - you can see Denbear's Mardi Gras/Stars and Bars flag!!!

:D

[mendelj2]

How the heck am I supposed to work after watching that? I can't believe i still have a week and half to wait!

[dstempo]

Great....now I'm getting absolutely nothing done at work...I'm all ready there;-)

[LisaRI]

Hell Yeah! I didn't think it was possible to get any more excited for jazzfest! hey Zbonnie I think I spotted your pal Nancy w/ the green & purple umbrella in the second line near the end.

[electric_lady]

i've got a mad case of perma-grin after that!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Festngator]

Bump
For those of you who are coming to fest soon.

[Moose]

I was thrilled when I figured out that I could teach about New Orleans and its Jazz Fest to my 3rd graders when we learned about culture and customs. I get to teach about Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest for a week. WHAT's BAD ABOUT THAT????? I've always showed my kids the pictures from the previous Jazz Fests I've attended, but the video you provided this year just set it off right!!!! I had chills when I watched it last week and was very SAD when I couldn't attend last weekend due to a family wedding. I'll be there enjoying it all come Wednesday. LOVE YA LOTS NOLA!!!!!!
