I’ve been playing piano for over 40 years and after seeing him at the old Town and Country club in London about 25 years ago, I felt like pushing my piano straight off the end of Tower Bridge into the Thames. Great, great player RIP 🎹😔
He was maybe remembering that night in november 76 in san francisco where dr john played it at the last waltz ! He was there too ! 20 years later heheh
I love how nobody in the band or audience can believe how good Dr. John is at piano. Neither can I, honestly. Seriously, how the hell was he that good?
@@barryluckhurst1166 Seriously one of the best live performances I've ever heard. I've listened to that version more times than I can count. I actually prefer it to what's on Dr. John's original album.
@@chriswick7987 My cousin used to live there and just when I got old enough to visit she moved! One of my pipe dreams was always to go and study there and finally figure out how to solo hahaha. Some day I will regardless!
It's mesmerising watching someone with such talent make it look so easy. Saw Dr John live in Birmingham many years back and loved every minute. Such a talented showman. R.I.P. to a remarkable musician❤️❤️❤
Must have been 1981 Mac played at a local bar in Orchard Park, N.Y. Called the South Towner. Anyway I was there standing 8ft from him and his band Performing. His performance blew me right the hell away! I was So Glad So Blessed to be there. What a performance! You Sir are truly missed. Rip Mac
The band and bystanders are in shock❣️ My dad was the leader of a New Orleans street marching band and I swear he’d have been in tears (of joy, of course) if he’d ever heard Dr John play!
The Doctor was one of the invited guests at The Band's final concert in 1976 -The Last Waltz . He sang his heart out that night with The Band backing him to the hilt singing this song 'such a night .' If you have not ever seen the movie The Last Waltz ,then you can't regard yourself as a music lover ...it is exceptionally brilliant with a ' who's who ' of the Rock world performing on stage in San Francisco . Mesmerisingly sublime quality of the highest possible grade .
Jools must gave thought hed died and gone to heaven, Can't believe it's 30 ! years since I watched this on New year's eve . These two put on a great show that night in fact it was one of the best hootanannys ever . David Mcalmont singing an incredible version of Misty Blue (he's The guy in the yellow jacket) ❤
Love the good Dr 👏 and good to see how much fun Eric is having. Perhaps he’s secretly glad Dr John had to give up guitar after he was shot and took up the piano instead 🤷♂️ God moves in mysterious ways 🤟
Outstanding! Thank you for posting. I saw the good Doctor several times in the Bay Area. My favorites were in Marin and at Yoshi's in Oakland where I was just a few feet away. An amazing talent. RIP Dr. John. You are missed.
Holy crap! I haven’t thought about yoshis in so damn long! I saw galactic play there in 2002 while I was visiting Petaluma CA we traveled down to Oakland and the bay to party. What a cool place that was and yes dr John was in a class all his own. I visited jazz fest in New Orleans a couple times wish I could have seen him there
I recorded this whole hootenanny on VHS. This was the first time I had even heard of Dr John and bought a couple of his albums on the strength it. Best Hootenanny ever.......if you can find the whole thing.
Love Dr. Johns Such A Night. I created one of my first stage pantomimes to this piece. One of my most favorite pieces. Loved the modernized ragtime of that period back in my days of youth! Ah.....jazz blues ragtime with a bit of funk. RIP wherever you are Dr. John jamming with Gabriel.and the others.
Playing the Bösendorfer Emperiale is an amazing experience, you touch a key and it responds with such a volume! Also the bonus low keys that no other piano has.
Rather humorous to see Mac Rebennack playing a Bosendorfer...great of course. He would sound just as good playing a creaky 90-year old anonymous upright haha.
Such a night, it's such a night Sweet confusion under the moonlight Such a night, such a night To steal away, the time is right Your eyes caught mine, and at a glance You let me know that this was my chance But you came here with my best friend Jim And here I am, tryin' to steal you away from him Oh, but if I don't do it, you know somebody else will If I don't do it, you know somebody else will If I don't do it, you know somebody else will If I don't do it, you know somebody else will And it's such a night, it's such a night Sweet confusion under the moonlight It's such a night, such a night To steal away, the time is right Yeah, I couldn't believe my ear And my heart just skipped a beat When you told me to take you walkin' down the street Oh yeah, you came here with my best friend Jim Here I am, I'm stealin' you away from him Oh, but if I don't do it, you know somebody else will If I don't do it, you know somebody else will If I don't do it, you know somebody else will If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
Always tried to catch him in London eg Albany Empire with Dis Disley, JazzCafe .The Last time was in front of the World Trade Centre when I first arrived in New York as a mature student staying near Brooklyn Bridge .Then there was Central Park ...
the guy played with everybody and everybody played with him. Is that jackson brown at the keyboard? Saw DJ at a small venue in manhattan a long time ago. It was so crowded. Snuck in thru the kitchen, nobody said a thing. Mos'Scocious!
I saw him 2 years earlier and he had the cane then. He seemed to have a fair amout of trouble walking. I saw him in 74 and he seemed fine. Anybody know what happened? Accident?

Great, great player RIP 🎹😔
I know what you mean … 🙄
I do hope that people like Billy Joel and Elton John are looking for talent to mentor …. To be their replacements
So glad i met you Mac . A meeting i will never forget . Such a Night . Miss you buddy
Keep in mind, he was an adult when he started playing piano. He had played guitar until he lost a piece of one finger in gun fight.
Agreed, could listen to his Wrong Place, Right Time tine forever, discovered the boogie woogie Dr in lockdown, do you listen to him
Clapton laughing & shaking his head at the end, says it all. Try keeping up with that boys! Superb...

@@fgsp8909back during Eric’s “snow” days lol
I love how nobody in the band or audience can believe how good Dr. John is at piano. Neither can I, honestly. Seriously, how the hell was he that good?
That's one of those, So that's how good pro musicians are. No wonder I'm playing in a pub. I gotta work on my chops moments.
How cool was the Dr doin this on The Last Waltz
@@barryluckhurst1166 Seriously one of the best live performances I've ever heard. I've listened to that version more times than I can count. I actually prefer it to what's on Dr. John's original album.

I saw him a couple of times in Philadelphia great show
The best ... genius.
Amazing and extraordinary talent. I confess my envy for all those who saw and heard this God gifted man during his lifetime.
Saw him in 1982 in a small bar in Santa Fe. I was six feet from the piano.
. . . . and a HUGE thank you Jools for having such a great show !!!!!!
Thanks for the BBC and Jools for making such delightful and enjoyable musical moments available for audiences all over the world! Cheers!

U aint lyin
I saw the movie, and it was great!
@SeattleSoulFan 'cos if you had not ..I was calling the Pentagon ....har ..har.🫡
It really doesnt get better than this does it-Brilliant.
The Good Dr. could heal yer soul..
Clapton was a complete gentleman in keeping his seat so the good Doctor could have the spotlight he completely deserved.
Sadly, that`s what some people don`t get.
Best comment
He was an add-on. He didn't have a choice.
Dr. John is incredible on his own. I like EC, but he was superfluous here.

Lucky to see him live at the Town and Country club in London, many years ago. He was brilliant.
Miss that place 🙏
The best medicine from the Dr. RIP
Loved his voice.
That is a great level of music! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome.. I was very young when he was popular. Right place wrong time was a cool song. Loved his voice.
How good was that, Dr John, Eric Clapton and great big band, any wonder Eric shook his head in amazement
Haven't heard this song in years. I had cold chill bumps the whole way through. Amazing.
Love the good Dr 👏 and good to see how much fun Eric is having. Perhaps he’s secretly glad Dr John had to give up guitar after he was shot and took up the piano instead 🤷♂️ God moves in mysterious ways 🤟
Fantastic feeling of music
4:04 That Smile
no solo for Eric. just sit back and watch, my friend.

Who ever gave a thumbs down is utterly nuts and clueless, really!!
@scottiedavis150:took the out of me mouth Scotty "ragtime"seen Nicky Hopkins live.good but DJ has that nawlins swang.😊
Jools and Mac played a great duet in Music Night as the Boogie Woogie Twins.
i had the pleasure of seeing the good Doctor several times. The show I saw at the House of Blues in NO was the best.
Absolute legend
Coolest man ever. Love ya Doc RIP.
increible primera vez que veo este extraordinario musico, sin palabras.. esto es oro puro
Thank goodness Eric Clapton was available, because no other guitarist in the world could have played that part.
Lol
First he was contact for a washboard solo !
The Last Waltz is the best version. It's beautiful....
RIP Mac...
you were the best.
Dr. John is fabulous. 😊
Hai ragione favoloso grande pianista...arrangiatore,...cantante unico e rimarrà unico io l adoro ❤❤
Great performance
May he rest in everlasting paz.
They broke the mold after this one. Dr. John added to an already rich music culture coming out of New Orleans.
just excellent,loved it
Just...wow!
Musician’s musician right there.
Sei e rimarrai un genio della musica....ti adoro❤❤❤❤
Just marvellous
That Bosendorfer piano never had more fun
I was thinking that...this piano is worth more than I make in years but the Doctor makes it come alive. Beautiful....
Playing the Bösendorfer Emperiale is an amazing experience, you touch a key and it responds with such a volume! Also the bonus low keys that no other piano has.
Love it
Fabulous❣️
I miss this guy gone 5 years now RiP Dr J 😘
If there was ever a cool dude the DR. Was it!
This is magnificent ❤❤❤❤
Ain't nothing like a good old fashion hootenanny
Absolutely awesome, to think that I spent that year listening to Oasis and Blur!
i miss him bros
sometimes it's like I can still hear him playing...
You can dance to this...❤😮🎉❤😅😮🎉
Magic ✨🥃
Such a night 💨 💥🌈✨🌸☮️
that is sweet sweet music!
Good vibrations 🚥🚦
There was a fantastic rendition of There Must Be A Better World Somewhere during this show from Dr John and EC.
Doesn't seem to exist on YT though
I hope someone finds it so it can be uploaded. That sounds amazing.
Must of been fun to play with the DR and He didn't stop it nobody else would.
Me encantó
Ah The good doctor🤘
WOW!
Great video. I have never seen that before
Watch all of the musicians in the background smiling during that final solo.
Мне 81, чудесно, блестяще, неповторимо, навсегда! Доктора, доктора, дайте доктора, пригласите доктора!!!!
“Feel good music”
Rather humorous to see Mac Rebennack playing a Bosendorfer...great of course. He would sound just as good playing a creaky 90-year old anonymous upright haha.
He lived around the corner from me in the east village and met him there
Such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
Such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right
Your eyes caught mine, and at a glance
You let me know that this was my chance
But you came here with my best friend Jim
And here I am, tryin' to steal you away from him
Oh, but if I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
And it's such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
It's such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right
Yeah, I couldn't believe my ear
And my heart just skipped a beat
When you told me to take you walkin' down the street
Oh yeah, you came here with my best friend Jim
Here I am, I'm stealin' you away from him
Oh, but if I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will

Saw Elton John open for Leon Russell. Saw Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, never saw Dr John. Saw Jethro Tull open for Frank Zappa-what an era! ✌️🎵
Reminds me of Leon Russel!
Clapton siempre rodeado de estrellas y robando la plata.
El buen Doctor un capo.
Such a night
the guy played with everybody and everybody played with him. Is that jackson brown at the keyboard? Saw DJ at a small venue in manhattan a long time ago. It was so crowded. Snuck in thru the kitchen, nobody said a thing. Mos'Scocious!
RIP good doc John Gris
To think that.... Maybe one of the last time they both were in the same building when Dr. Played that song was in the Last Waltz with the Band
I feel bad for the 5 that gave thumbs down.
Up to 6 by the time I got here. Expectations or something. * shrug * I loved this.
The brass is a bit too loud, but otherwise it’s perfect. Miss ya, Mac
Good point. And Jools playing that constant high note.on the organ at the beginning half of the song was nasty.
👏🏿👏🏿
You must be Joking! - What did Eric add to this great song and performance by a real musician?
hootenanny
■ noun (plural hootenannies) informal, chiefly US an informal gathering with folk music.
Origin
1920s (orig. US, denoting a 'thingummy'): of unknown origin.
© Oxford University Press, 2004
I think Clapton enjoyed this
The good Doctor
Who's this Dr. John guy?
All I know is, he has Eric Clapton as his rhythm guitar player.
bliss, he seems far away though. xxx
John wick reppin on the Rhodes!
Mac was the ambassador of NOLA, next in line is Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews?
From the side on, their is something oddly similar to Stephen Fry in the initial screenshot image. Dr John i can only apologize.
Rico Rodriguez is playing the trombone too
I saw him 2 years earlier and he had the cane then. He seemed to have a fair amout of trouble walking. I saw him in 74 and he seemed fine. Anybody know what happened? Accident?
I read that he has heart issues later in life. He was always a hefty fella so perhaps his knees/hips were playing up too? 🤷
It is a song structured mostly for piano a guitar solo just wouldn't fit
Sure miss Mac.
Eric Clapton playing a Gibson...
Eric Who?
Tom Waits
Ładny fortepianik i Clapton sobie brzdaka...cacko🤔
