Must See Three?

[sophisticated sissy]

Offbeat mag has a neat feature in the JF bible where musicians and other New Orleans notables are asked who are their "Must See Three" performers at the Fairgrounds.

So far, I have peeked only at the cubes for the 2nd Friday. My must see 3 for that day are as follows:

1.) Coco Robicheaux

2.) L'il Band o'Gold (I'll have to haul ass on that one- S.C. stage to Acura)

3.) Coolie Family Gospel Singers - I've never heard them. I understand that they rarely perform outside of church.


Who's on your Must See Three list?

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

2nd Fri picks: I'm kind of open for that day. Only must see is Dirty Dozen & George Benson, both at Congo.

[sophisticated sissy]

Yes, now that you mention it, Congo would be an excellent place to hang all day on 2nd Fri. !

Still haven't decided who to close out with that day. George Benson is an excellent choice!

Now, you better stop teasing me! I would fairly swoon if Plant showed up!
Steve Riley & R.Plant on the same stage? OMG!!!:D

[Jordan]

My three for 2nd Friday: Dumpstaphunk, Sunpie, Dirty Dozen
Coolie Family and Dynamic Smooth Family close runners up

[mightyradgumbo]

"It's good to be back in this town," Plant said, as the ecstatic audience of 500 pressed close to the stage. "I can't tell you the adventures we used to have here many years ago." He credited the music of New Orleans and Chicago with facilitating Zeppelin's epic career as "philandering hedonists."

"philandering hedonists." That would be a great name for a band----They are on the top of a increasing list for me. Have to decipher the FOMs first to get the other two

Snooks Eaglin - Second Saturday - 2:40 - Blues Tent
Living Tribute to Wardell Quezergue - Second Saturday - 4:55 - Allison Miner/Lagniappe Stage

[Tim]

Second weekend centric. How interesting. I just had a lively debate about the merits of seeing Joss Stone rather than Steely Dan. My AOR middle age compadre no comprende.

Holmes Bothers should be great. Roy Hargrove requires a fly by. Old Pittsburgh guy goes to visit George Benson. Need a Big Sam fix sometime over the weekend. Figures to be a split krewe between Cowboy Mouth and Galactic. See you at Galactic.

First weekend wish I were there -> Soulive, Mofro

[glinda]

2nd Friday: Gonna take your suggestions, read the bios, & go w/the flow

2nd Sat: Irma's tribute to Mahalia, Bumblebees, Allmans

2nd Sunday: Zion Harmonizers, Steely Dan (yep, won out over Joss), Jazz Jam

Anxious to hear 1st weekend reports... wishin I could be there...

Wait! Forgot Holmes Brothers! When's that? ...back to check the grids...
