My brother, Rick Naiser of Festival Studios was the sound engineer. He did not get credit-but it was the last big project that he had before he died. He had our parents in the audience to witness this.
It’s February 10, 2024. I’m sitting here completely enraptured. How is this just landing in my TH-cam feed 10 YEARS AFTER?!?! To think of all the years I could have been in this Heaven! 😩😭 Hugh, you never cease to entertain, delight, tickle, astound, and absolutely TRANSCEND me! Loveeeee this …and YOU…more than words can describe! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Don’t ever stop! 😃😍🤗👏👏👏
I know the feeling all too well. Here, we were raised on blackadder, jeeves and wooster, house and the like. My crush didnt need this kind of fuel...cause now its just "Gimme smeggin MOAR!!"
I know..... He's totally amazing at everything - what a whizz he is and amusing, entertaining, educational, funny, georgous hilarious ( please note I'm going through the alphabet.... So I will stop at the point which is... This man has everything!!! 👌

This is totally unfair. This man has all the talents: Jazz and Blues and Rock'n roll music, he plays and sings like nobody else. He can do Classical as well. It's nothing but a delight to listen to him. He can be an actor, a story teller a jazz history teller, a tourist guide to take us around in N.O. Have never been there and now it's fairly late so I fully enjoy this session. Thank you so much for posting this.
So great to be there with this atmosphère thks to Hugh and all these guys and all of you included listeners... just great - keep on playing, singing and performing - wish i ' d be there
Saved this for times when I'm in a funk and need to get my life force circulating. So great that Hugh Laurie has this love and this talent. Thank you for appreciating precious New Orleans!
Incredibly blessed to have lived there for 23 years of my life. I feel I got life in me that I wouldn't have had otherwise. Go before it's gone. Nothing like it ever again.
I've been watching Hugh Laurie for decades, and he never fails to impress, and for a Brit, he has the most perfect American accent I've ever seen. He can do almost anything, and never lose the semse of being himself. I think they call this 'multi talented". I call him amazing.
Hugh is white and I am from another Hemisphere ... What unites us beyond the color of our skin and a whole different universe, showing our soul and giving it a caress ...? Thanks to him and everyone who participated in this beautiful "journey" towards oneself ...
New Orleans is a country within a country. If someone blindfolded you and dropped you in the Quarter, you would think you were in Europe . Spain, France, Italy. The food isn’t just food. The mood is warm and welcoming. And the MUSIC sways in The Big Easy. Born and raised. I am so glad I came across this.
I'm also from a small city build on a swamp by the Spanish and then the French, filled with Italian heritage as well, not too far from Buenos Aires, Argentina (wich flooded pretty bad a few years ago) The CIA f us pretty bad with the 70s dictatorship but we still has some spirit left! and I'm truly in love with New Orleans, never been out of the country but that's the first place I'll pilgrim to! It's like our most beautiful cousin city!
If I ever get to visit the USA, i will definitely stop by. Love the music, the vibe. Greetings from a longtime Indian fan of Southern rock and blues...
I can’t believe it took eight years for this to come across my TH-cam feed, but I’m so glad it did. I have always loved Hugh Laurie. He is the truest gem. ❤️
I had the pleasure of seeing The Hugh Laurie Blues Band at The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ, and I got all the way to the stage! I shared a thumbs up with his amazing back-up singer, and it was an amazing night! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
Its the First Octobre 2023 Im 22 years old and I do LOVE everythin directed to Jazz, Blues, Funk and that crazy ass boogie woogie. I got intoduced to Jazz about 6/7 years ago and I love it every since. I see this whole Documentation(?) as a masterpiece and I can feel this deep conection from Huge to Blues so hard that my heart is about to burst. I played about 5y drum (got lessons) now I bought me a Keyboard and am learing blues and boogie woogie since 3 Months. I do make progress but its rough. Really rough. But the FUN is sooooooo much bigger I cant stop- Playing the blues scale up and down to some backing tracks or play the bass notes of a classic boogie woogie is allready so much fun but I think I need a teacher sooner or later. I hope more people my age would like this music as much as I do! Edit: Hugh is so talented its crazy.
I was kid fresh out of school sent to New Orleans on a job. Got off shift early evening. Found a cab, flipped a 50 and asked to be brought to hear real blues. Drove through swamps to a joint. Told me to stay in car. He was back in about 5 minutes. He took me in. Owner came and brought me to a front table. Stage of magic staring back at me. I gave the lady a 50 and said thank you. The blues cried the night. That was 1983.
You were so lucky to discover this music so young. I was in my 20's living in Houston before I heard true New Orleans jazz, it's stayed with me every since. I hope you have discovered Django Reinhart, Stephane Grappelli and the Hot Club as well, and the Romany Manouche guitarist, Angelo Debarre, also on TH-cam - he's unbelievable.
OH BOY !!! Another full day of "WONDERFUL MUSIC"! I spent all day yesterday tapping my feet and fingers in heaven, regretting not taking my Grandmothers piano lessons!!! "Thanks again!
I Had NO idea this guy who, for all I knew played a sarcastic doctor on TV, had all these facets, what a talent . I love New Orleans, been there several times . This was a great tour .
Can this possibly be the same man who brought life to Bertie Wooster and Dr House? A national treasure in the UK along with his old 'Jeeves' partner Stephen Fry. They have so much talent between them that they could shift planets. Thank you, Hugh.
Ya know my mother taught piano for over 80 years .She played a half hour of oldies but goodies in the old folks home at 97 .......I did Royal conservatory ..started Grade 10 and thru it all for an electric guitar .....Now that I am over the hill I regret my ditching the piano....Hugh Laurie has inspired me to return to the fold....like the returning son I know that those 4 hrs plus of practicing in Grade 9 should do me welll ...I play a lot of slide guitar but that piano of Hugh has returned me to the proverbial holy grail of music .the piano .... Thank you Hugh.
In 1966 I got out of the US Navy, and the first car I bought was a Ford Galaxy 500 XL, It had a 390 ci engine with 3 carbs and progressive linkage. The engine was from a former police chase car. Had an auto transmission and rear end, never had the money to convert it to a Hurst shifted 4 speed manual. Got it up to an "indicated" (and doubtful)150 mph once which scared the crap out of me as the suspension was crap as well. Had to sell it when I went back to school, it got only 12 mpg if I was behaving and @ 8 mpg if I was being naughty. By the way, love this video, not often I watch a TH-cam video this long, but as a lover of blues music I found this a fantastic thing to watch.
My dad would have loved this. Wish he was still around to enjoy it. Hugh Laurie is a HUGE talent… what an amazing and humble guy!!!🏆🎹🎷🥁🎻🎶🎵👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨💫💫💫
I'm a 72 year old Georgia resident who started going down and over to New Orleans at 15yrs when my parents took me there to the first of several Poultry Conventions. Pete Fountain was a favorite of that crowd. So when, as I was listening to this video featuring Hugh's New Orleans road trip I heard this statement, "New Orleans smells like funk.", I just fell out laughing. No truer words were ever spoken. That's exactly how New Orleans smells. But it's not the blues you're smelling. It's that damn Mississippi River. Delighted by this video. It's always uplifting to follow such enthusiasm as was seen here.
Well it is evening of Jab 1st 2024 and I listened this last hour plus to true blue jass with Hugh. I'm 76 years old and live in South Africa. Wgat a way to begin 2024. Yea!!!!!! Looooooove to all.
I had no idea Hugh Laurie played piano and loved the blues. My god. I cried all the way through SAINT JAMES INFIRMARY. My god. Great music. Thank you all. Great audio engineering work. Great (rich) photography. Incredible performers. Kudos all.
That's one of my a favourite music video, I like blues, I like an actor and great singer Hugh Laurie and all musicians singing in this movie. This movie has made very successfully. Great thanks for that fabulous pilgrimage!!!
extraordinary performances, by an extraordinarily talented jazz and blues man, who REALLY knows how to " tickle the ivories"... And does it memorably.....
I’ve been ticked off at TH-cam for a while now, for various reasons. However, this recommendation may be one of the best things I’ve enjoyed this year. I grew up in New Orleans, many years ago. The music would pour from the open windows like honey. I love that city so much. There is so much beauty and heart amidst the pain of loss and rebuilding. This was an excellent job by everyone involved. I could have listened for hours. ⚜️⚜️⚜️
I knew he was an actor but, later heard he played an instrument. That house must have fallen down after all that blues rocked that venue. 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼🎹🎹🎹🎹
My folks took the family to New Orleans when I was 14. I was in love with it. Said it was the first place I wanted to go when I was of legal age! I wanted to get into the clubs we walked past. Been in love with the sound and place all this time. I'm 66 now
Hugh please please do more of these. This was a journey worth taking and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks to all the musicians and singers and to the one who brought them all together!
Hugh Laurie is a consummate show man ! He comes across as highly intelligent, with a quick wit and energised in every pore of his body ! Added to that is his educational background which gives him a firm base to a wide knowledge of the world which money and travel make possible ! He succeeds in compensating for his "old boy" public school background and reach a theatrical, "every man" attitude in his sketches and choices of roles! You do not feel, viewing him is a waste of time or that you have seen his material before, because, it is always fresh and spontaneous, since, he, himself, seemingly, produces his own quips as he goes along in a conversation . . . which are no doubt planned, generally, but, seem unrehearsed and spur of the moment . . . He has a good and unusual selection of facial expressions in his repertoire, which he uses very well and appropriately ! Without exaggeration, I can ´t praise enough, the entertaining videos I have seen !
Love him so much. He never fails to amaze me with his talents. I was lucky enough to have lived in New Orleans yrs ago way before Katrina. The music there was magical & everywhere. And the Mardi Gras was, in the the early Seventies, a big party, & a little safer then it is now. Hugh obviously loves it too.I knew he played jazz during a chat show in England. So this is a showcase of one of his many talents. Amazing & so fun. I love this.
Jeeeee-suhhhs, sweet heaven this was absolute bliss. Best Saturday night I've spent since 1988...the last time I was in the Crescent City. Oh the memories..............
I had no idea Hugh was this talented, and I have since spent a good deal of time researching his career. Hugh is talented across the whole spectrum of entertainment. Much of his work resides in his homeland, the British Isles. He deserves world wide attention because he is a generational talent. Thank you Mr. Laurie.
Great music! I'm a 1958 vintage Brit and I love New Orleans music. I'm a sound tech and years ago I mixed a lot of live jazz, folk and other international music but I used to say to friends that often British jazz although high quality had just become too serious, it became an exercise in music just for an elite mainly and other musicians to appreciate rather than a form of musical entertainment. It lost what was fun about jazz. This was particularly noticeable in the 1980s when I lived in London with some famous jazz clubs not even allowing people to stand let alone move or dance. At that time I much preferred mixing visiting bands from America and other places: jazz, blues, country, Tex Mex, world music, etc etc, their competence was normally unquestionable and their easy going happy mood made for straightforward but professional sound checks, great gigs and happy times for all. All the best everyone.
I was listening to this during writing and reading with a glass of wine and sometimes i stoped to enjoy completely the songs, just perfect moment, thank you for sharing it with us. Love from Belgium
Probably the single best thing I've experienced on TH-cam. What a treat. What a surprise. What a nice Saturday evening with Mr. Laurie. So glad he came to visit us.
Soul Stirring !!!!! Like all GOOD Music; medicine for the soul. The relief of the bondage plight of African Americans, was inevitable, when they could write such profound music as to attract respectful, even reverent attention from sons of oppressors from across the seas, folks from outside this grand social experiment.....
Or rather it allowed him. N O is a very peculiar city. Very peculiar. It marks you. Bewitchs you. God I love that place. However I do not like outsiders
Hugh Laurie, a 1959-er, like I am, and so is the beautiful Ford Galaxie 500. It must have been a good year for stepping out on to this planet. Thanks Hugh for this gem.
Hugh is definitely a ‘ Renaissance Man’ actor, comedian, musician and story teller... and now travel guide. This is a journey I’ve been dreaming of making for so long ... might take a while longer to get there but I will 🙏🤟 love your work Hugh
And arranger. He wrote the arrangements for these songs too. He's kind of like Steve Martin, and others I could name, people who are well known for one particular thing but have amazing talents in so many other fields.
What's wonderful is the COMMUNITY around jazz music - for the people who let themselves drawn to be into it, it's a special kind of home place for the heart and soul, above all in the blues.
I was born and lived in New Orleans for 26 years. I've lived away for a long time, but close enough to visit often. I know folks who were born and bred in NO who don't GET IT. Some moved away and never looked back. New Orleans will always be the home of my heart. I GET IT. Hugh Laurie GETS IT. Allen Toussaint - swoon.
Spring-fresh Sunday morning in Johannesburg and trolling the net to unearth the amazing talent of Hugh Laurie. Thank you for the tour and the wonderful music
What is so capturing for me, is this dude LOVES what he's doing. Just Look at that Fucking smile after each tune.....Sitting at FOH over 4 Decades, I would be a smiling doing this gig....Forever across the world spreading the love.......
Born and raised , drove dad's taxi at night. 40 yrs plus of live New Orleans Music and Hugh fit right in like he's been a pro there for decades. That's Exceptional!!!
My brother, Rick Naiser of Festival Studios was the sound engineer. He did not get credit-but it was the last big project that he had before he died. He had our parents in the audience to witness this.
my condolences. Performance sounds imaculate to this day.
The people in the background that make these things actually happen, the unsung heroes.
RIP
Thank you brother. Sounds great.

I know the feeling all too well. Here, we were raised on blackadder, jeeves and wooster, house and the like.
My crush didnt need this kind of fuel...cause now its just "Gimme smeggin MOAR!!"

I have always loved Hugh Laurie since his Dr House days!! I had the biggest crush on him and still do!! I am a fan for life!!
❤
Since his show on PBS ! ❤❤❤❤❤ Jeeves and Wooster
This is totally unfair. This man has all the talents: Jazz and Blues and Rock'n roll music, he plays and sings like nobody else. He can do Classical as well. It's nothing but a delight to listen to him. He can be an actor, a story teller a jazz history teller, a tourist guide to take us around in N.O.

Wonderful
I'm really enjoying this! 👍
I completely agree. the whole documentary is incredible.
but he is a lousy diagnostician
So great to be there with this atmosphère thks to Hugh and all these guys and all of you included listeners... just great - keep on playing, singing and performing - wish i ' d be there
I highly recommend any fan of this great talented man to watch this entire video ❤
This man is so multifaceted ...sings, acts, plays piano..and excels at all of them. And humble to boot. He clearly enjoys it all. What a guy...
Well said. By the way, I am happy all of us (who are here) ENJOY him! There still is SOME culture in us & among us!
Bug he ain't no doctor
True
well...sings... wait...
He dances too like a total badass that he is! Cool AF!
Saved this for times when I'm in a funk and need to get my life force circulating. So great that Hugh Laurie has this love and this talent. Thank you for appreciating precious New Orleans!

I can’t believe it took eight years for this to come across my TH-cam feed, but I’m so glad it did. I have always loved Hugh Laurie. He is the truest gem. ❤️
It took 10 years for me.
A true Renaissance man.
Just today for me. I lost a dear friend who was a jazz fan, so I'll enjoy this while wishing he was here
Had enjoyed it earlier, today enjoying once again
11 years for me, my love for this man knows no bounds.
I had the pleasure of seeing The Hugh Laurie Blues Band at The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ, and I got all the way to the stage! I shared a thumbs up with his amazing back-up singer, and it was an amazing night! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

Sharing is the magic and the mystery and with it......... blues cried the night
And yet.....the tear is silent
OH BOY !!! Another full day of "WONDERFUL MUSIC"! I spent all day yesterday tapping my feet and fingers in heaven, regretting not taking my Grandmothers piano lessons!!! "Thanks again!
Amazing as always is my favourite English actor, comedian, writer, director, and musician Hugh Laurie! God bless your multi-talented self!
What a beautiful timeless collection. I could listen to this forever. Thanks for bringing this 'round again.
I Had NO idea this guy who, for all I knew played a sarcastic doctor on TV, had all these facets, what a talent . I love New Orleans, been there several times . This was a great tour .
Can this possibly be the same man who brought life to Bertie Wooster and Dr House? A national treasure in the UK along with his old 'Jeeves' partner Stephen Fry. They have so much talent between them that they could shift planets. Thank you, Hugh.

Holy cow, what fun! Hugh Laurie's having the time if his life and sharing it with us. I'm grinning ear to ear! ♥️💃
In 1966 I got out of the US Navy, and the first car I bought was a Ford Galaxy 500 XL, It had a 390 ci engine with 3 carbs and progressive linkage. The engine was from a former police chase car. Had an auto transmission and rear end, never had the money to convert it to a Hurst shifted 4 speed manual. Got it up to an "indicated" (and doubtful)150 mph once which scared the crap out of me as the suspension was crap as well. Had to sell it when I went back to school, it got only 12 mpg if I was behaving and @ 8 mpg if I was being naughty. By the way, love this video, not often I watch a TH-cam video this long, but as a lover of blues music I found this a fantastic thing to watch.
Dr House!!!!!!! Unbelievable , never heard this face of Hugh Laurie!! Amazing talent!
Just gained a whole new level of respect for Hugh Laurie...
@POINTTWOFIVEMOA hun?
One of the more talented people in our generation.
@POINTTWOFIVEMOA That’s a douche kind of comment.
Please share your resumé with all of us, you sound like you’re much better than Hugh, yes?
Oh, hell yes, so good.
When TOM JONES praises your singing, there's nothing else anybody can discuss about your musical talent.
Thank you for th is wonderful concert which I only found on You Tube! unforgettable. Thank you.
My dad would have loved this. Wish he was still around to enjoy it. Hugh Laurie is a HUGE talent… what an amazing and humble guy!!!🏆🎹🎷🥁🎻🎶🎵👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨💫💫💫

Simply brilliant! What a show, what a man! I just love love love Hugh
I am from New Orleans, been living in Germany for 45 years. I can start crying when I see this video. Go!!! You Tube. Go!! Saints. 😎
Me too brother! One day I'll make it back to finish my life.
Yes, and I was born there, so I got roots in this cosmopolitan centre of culture especially jazz.
Well it is evening of Jab 1st 2024 and I listened this last hour plus to true blue jass with Hugh. I'm 76 years old and live in South Africa. Wgat a way to begin 2024. Yea!!!!!! Looooooove to all.
Amen to That!
I had no idea Hugh Laurie played piano and loved the blues. My god. I cried all the way through SAINT JAMES INFIRMARY. My god. Great music. Thank you all. Great audio engineering work. Great (rich) photography. Incredible performers. Kudos all.
There were a couple of CD albums that came out of this, ‘Let Them Talk’ & ‘Let It Rain’. Excellent if you can find them.
I did not know this man is an accomplished musician...I thought he was just an actor but I now have a new found respect for him...
Oh my my my, what a gift to have this drop in my lap today. YEA!!!
That's one of my a favourite music video, I like blues, I like an actor and great singer Hugh Laurie and all musicians singing in this movie. This movie has made very successfully. Great thanks for that fabulous pilgrimage!!!
extraordinary performances, by an extraordinarily talented jazz and blues man, who REALLY knows how to " tickle the ivories"... And does it memorably.....

Consumate actor, comedian, musician, entirely charming, and absolutely BEAUTIFUL hands. Master of the arts.❤
Wow where was Hugh hiding I'm Blown Away by this magnificent show thank you Julie
❤what an incredible masterpiece that Hugh Laurie created and shared with us. I enjoyed every single moment presented here. I loved! Thank you!💖🙂🌸
This is truly a treasure. I'm so glad I found it!
Hugh please please do more of these. This was a journey worth taking and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks to all the musicians and singers and to the one who brought them all together!
What fun he had playing music everywhere.😄👍🎶
This whole Show is a brilliant tribute to an era nearly forgitten. Thank you Hugh Laurie and of course the whole Darn Act. I was there New Orleans
Hugh Laurie is a consummate show man ! He comes across as highly intelligent, with a quick wit and energised in every pore of his body ! Added to that is his educational background which gives him a firm base to a wide knowledge of the world which money and travel make possible ! He succeeds in compensating for his "old boy" public school background and reach a theatrical, "every man" attitude in his sketches and choices of roles! You do not feel, viewing him is a waste of time or that you have seen his material before, because, it is always fresh and spontaneous, since, he, himself, seemingly, produces his own quips as he goes along in a conversation . . . which are no doubt planned, generally, but, seem unrehearsed and spur of the moment . . . He has a good and unusual selection of facial expressions in his repertoire, which he uses very well and appropriately ! Without exaggeration, I can ´t praise enough, the entertaining videos I have seen !
Hugh Laurie is a modern Renaissance man!
That wonderfull HUGH LAURIE 👏👏👏👏👏🙏
Love him so much. He never fails to amaze me with his talents. I was lucky enough to have lived in New Orleans yrs ago way before Katrina. The music there was magical & everywhere. And the Mardi Gras was, in the the early Seventies, a big party, & a little safer then it is now. Hugh obviously loves it too.I knew he played jazz during a chat show in England.

I love this.
I got chills when the woman in the yellow dress sung. Great video!
Hey Dr. House, I watched ALL your episodes 'till the end and now I know where you were heading to on your motor bike. New Orleans. What a gas!
😂😊😅🎵🎼🎶😎😎
WOW ... just ... WOW! And that New Orleans drummer? That's a super raw sexy beat. Amazing!
Bloody hell I love this music!!!!!! I sooo want to visit New Orleans too!
Jeeeee-suhhhs, sweet heaven this was absolute bliss. Best Saturday night I've spent since 1988...the last time I was in the Crescent City. Oh the memories..............
I had no idea Hugh was this talented, and I have since spent a good deal of time researching his career. Hugh is
talented across the whole spectrum of entertainment. Much of his work resides in his homeland, the British Isles. He deserves world wide attention because he is a generational talent. Thank you Mr. Laurie.
WOW. Tom is 82 and still sounds wonderful!!
The balls of Hugh Laurie.. Completely fearless, sitting down w/ some of the best NOLA players.. Love you, Sir..
That is the famous Preservation Hall. WOW!!!
I was lucky enough to see his concert in Budapest. He was amazing. But with New Orleans he and his music fit so well.
Great music! I'm a 1958 vintage Brit and I love New Orleans music. I'm a sound tech and years ago I mixed a lot of live jazz, folk and other international music but I used to say to friends that often British jazz although high quality had just become too serious, it became an exercise in music just for an elite mainly and other musicians to appreciate rather than a form of musical entertainment. It lost what was fun about jazz. This was particularly noticeable in the 1980s when I lived in London with some famous jazz clubs not even allowing people to stand let alone move or dance.
At that time I much preferred mixing visiting bands from America and other places: jazz, blues, country, Tex Mex, world music, etc etc, their competence was normally unquestionable and their easy going happy mood made for straightforward but professional sound checks, great gigs and happy times for all.
All the best everyone.
Totally Agree 👍 🎉 britthang 😉👋😂 Tony Rockin Gibraltar right now as I wreeet!! 😅 🎉
Lord I would love to walk in on something like this. I would feel like I died and went to heaven.
I've had a really dismal day, and I'm now feeling on top of the world! Music is the true healer. Thank you.
Now that's one combination I never expected
New Orleans has a special place in my heart and head. Hugh Laurie...you done good.
Just great everything - music and Laurie.
I used to live down there. This makes me miss it so much.
I was listening to this during writing and reading with a glass of wine and sometimes i stoped to enjoy completely the songs, just perfect moment, thank you for sharing it with us. Love from Belgium
Probably the single best thing I've experienced on TH-cam. What a treat. What a surprise. What a nice Saturday evening with Mr. Laurie. So glad he came to visit us.
One of the very best!
I think i watched this 40 times in the last weeks. It is simply amazing.
Soul Stirring !!!!! Like all GOOD Music; medicine for the soul. The relief of the bondage plight of African Americans, was inevitable, when they could write such profound music as to attract respectful, even reverent attention from sons of oppressors from across the seas, folks from outside this grand social experiment.....
Amazing collaboration 💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🌹💜,in love 🎹🎹🎹🥁🎤🎧🎵🎶🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎶🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎸🪕🎻🎺🎷🎶🎶🎶
Let's be sincere, you didn't find it, it's found you.
Or rather it allowed him. N O is a very peculiar city. Very peculiar. It marks you. Bewitchs you. God I love that place. However I do not like outsiders
C .est vrais !!!!!!!!
Ain't that the story of the Blues...
You are so right...
Ain’t that the truth.
The Soul of Hugh Laurie meets the soul of New Orleans, what a great musician what a great city!
Hugh Laurie, a 1959-er, like I am, and so is the beautiful Ford Galaxie 500. It must have been a good year for stepping out on to this planet. Thanks Hugh for this gem.
These guys are not kidding..... so much blues so much pleasure even with Hugh Laurie....
Hugh is definitely a ‘ Renaissance Man’ actor, comedian, musician and story teller... and now travel guide. This is a journey I’ve been dreaming of making for so long ... might take a while longer to get there but I will 🙏🤟 love your work Hugh
New Orleans is so worth it, even if just for a weekend.
...and still can't dance...
add,classic American car lover to the list.
And arranger. He wrote the arrangements for these songs too. He's kind of like Steve Martin, and others I could name, people who are well known for one particular thing but have amazing talents in so many other fields.
My favorite city to which I've never been.
What's wonderful is the COMMUNITY around jazz music - for the people who let themselves drawn to be into it, it's a special kind of home place for the heart and soul, above all in the blues.
Hugh has turned me into a jazz/blues fan! LOVE him...
This is the best music it just makes you feel so happy!!
This is the best thing I have stumbled upon on TH-cam in a long time x
ME TOO/PEDRO DE PARAGUAY
I had no idea this limey had so much soul!!👍
All this musical talent, and a brilliant surgeon too... Wow.
yes Dr. House is in the house||||||||
Your saying this guy is also a medical doctor?
@@rapidrhinoplumbing-monrovi3269Not IRL. He plays a doctor, Dr. Gregory House, on the TV series called “House.” Fabulous!
My Father gave me appreciation for trumpet, and big bands.❤❤
Utterly fantastic. Could only be improved by Stephen Fry walking on and saying, "hit it bitch!"
How could anyone in their right mind vote a "thumbs down" for this "Hugh Laurie road trip in blues country"--delightful. Thank you, "Dr. House"!
because they dont get it . I have a friend and we always say , THEY GET IT ! so HUGH GETS IT !
ignore the uninformed
@Jeppo Jinx Huh?
I was born and lived in New Orleans for 26 years. I've lived away for a long time, but close enough to visit often. I know folks who were born and bred in NO who don't GET IT. Some moved away and never looked back. New Orleans will always be the home of my heart. I GET IT. Hugh Laurie GETS IT. Allen Toussaint - swoon.
@Jeppo Jinx copy & paste much?
Hugh Laurie is so talented.
Superb artist and show man and a star in every way. There are so many Brit artists.
Spring-fresh Sunday morning in Johannesburg and trolling the net to unearth the amazing talent of Hugh Laurie. Thank you for the tour and the wonderful music
All I know is that I will watch this over and over and over ....Love it
Shoutout to the drummer. Classy work. Big ears
Proof of GOD'S creation unlike me ! Amazing human being!!!❤
Respect!
I am glad and sad that I am just finding this video today. Awesome.
I knew that Hugh could play , but man this is incredible. Thank you so much.
What is so capturing for me, is this dude LOVES what he's doing. Just Look at that Fucking smile after each tune.....Sitting at FOH over 4 Decades, I would be a smiling doing this gig....Forever across the world spreading the love.......
Born and raised , drove dad's taxi at night. 40 yrs plus of live New Orleans Music and Hugh fit right in like he's been a pro there for decades. That's Exceptional!!!
What a fabulous video. Just when you think it cant get any better, the sexy Tom Jones steps in. Be still my beating heart! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
