Most times I go to shows, I spend my time watching those around me to make sure my gear is safe. Most shows I go to, I don’t really get to fully enjoy them until I listen to the recording.

Without a doubt, this show was the funnest time I ever had at a show I was taping…hell, it was the funnest time I ever had at a show. I don’t think I touched my gear after pressing record and I didn’t really care if the recording came out or not. I was just caught up in the moment of experiencing Mardi Gras Indians in full suits…and with Mardi Gras season soon upon us, it is with great pleasure that I share this fine recording of Big Chief Bo Dollis and The Wild Magnolias. New Orleans funk at its finest!
