2024 now and still enjoying all of these classics from the master of the New Orleans style. Thanks for posting! What a great personality and talent Dr John was! RIP and thanks for your music.
They call me drJohn, known as the night tripper. You know I'm the last of the best. they call me the gris gris man. Ah got my satchel of' gris gris in my hand. Daily trippin' up 'n' back down da bayou....I got medicine of every description. Folks comes from miles aroun' runnin' down my prescription. I got medicine to cure all y'all's ills. You got love trouble....ya got a bad woman ya can't control...ah got jus' the thang fer ye. A little something called 'controllin' hearts get together drops.' Gris gris gumbo ya ya.........
I can not for the life of me understand why the bass player seems not to be having fun. Even if you're sight-reading the gig, that had to be a blast, playing that music.
@@dsnodgrass4843 About the bass player: not everybody has the same expression on their face, when they enjoy stuff. People, who think, they can read other peoples souls, is what sentences innocent people to death.
It blew me away when, on Somethin' You Got, on the first chorus of his piano solo, he played Melvin Lastie's trumpet solo on the song "I Know." I play that solo myself when the band I play with does "I Know."
It takes an enormous reservoir of cool to be in the midst of all that TV technical crew, and not seem even a little tightened-up and self-conscious about doing your thing. The Doctor was on a whole 'nother level.
Sometimes only the good doctor will do - and this is a great session, good from beginning to end. I first came upon the doctor in the 60s with his hippy trippy stuff (which went down well with a joint or two) but it is really his rock solid piano that I have fallen in love with (and this performance has that in spades). Thanks Eric Ranzoni
He was a very under rated Musician His style and professional piano playing blows Elton John Out Of The Water, R.I.P My Friend You're Music Will Live On.. Cheers New Orleans.. 2022.
Loved Dr John, lucky enough to see home live twice; but perhaps not fair to compare him with Elton John …. So different. Elton was English classically trained and wrote his own tunes from England in the 60’s … Dr John is Mr New Orleans …. Totally different background, and music 🤷♂️ Both great
Good lord, the inevitable “they were so underrated” comment. Dr. John was highly rated and well known both here and abroad (and a living legend and icon in his hometown of NO) for what, 50 years or more? There are New Orleans musicians that don’t get the credit they deserve, but Dr. John I don’t think is one of them.
Elton couldn't play Dr John's style as there are lots of 10ths in the left hand - Elton said he can barely cover an octave. Elton was great in his genre but Mac Rebennack had a unique New Orleans style..
Non valeva niente neppure allora, unico da ringraziare per gli sforzi immani per registrare dal vivo in TV è Renzo Arbore, se non sbaglio è tratto dalla trasmissione DOC, con un pseudoregista e operatori da TG..... ma almeno questo è stato fatto.
Had to be 1981 heard he was to play at a Local bar and eatery. Orchard Park, N.Y. I was Correct! Stood 10 feet from Mac that evening while he performed on a 12"inch riser in front of me! Man what a show! I was so, so Happy I caught that show. Rip Mac. You are so Missed!
I saw Dr. John play with a band here in NYC at the Blue Note in early 1997, and he played "Wild Honey." I loved it, but I've been unable to find any evidence of that song even existing since then. Thanks so much for uploading this wonderful footage of one of my musical heroes, grazie mille!
i love that album it was the only album of his i had (on vinyl) from way back then ... i got it recntly from some place but it was indeed hard to track down on cd ... its all on her and full of great tunes
Beati i miei compaesani italiani che sono riusciti ad assistere a questa meraviglia di concerto. Avrei pagato oro per poter assistere di persona ad un concerto del grande Mac
Eric thank you! What a treasure of great music by an incredible artist. First time I saw the "Night Tripper" was at the Apollo Theater in the late 70s. What great memories! Awesome upload!

Después de dar muchos tumbos por la vida, y la música, me refugio en el sonido de N. Orleans. Allen Thoussaint, Profesor Longhair y Dr. John. Que más puedo pedir?
Ciao Eric, era il 1988 ed il programma (giornaliero, se ricordo bene) si chiamava DOC, su Rai2, presentato da Renzo Arbore e Gegè Telesforo... Nello stesso periodo ospitarono (tra i moltissimi altri) pure i Dr. Feelgood (2 puntate) ed il recentemente scomparso Robert Gordon (con Chris Spedding alla chitarra)... Sei ancora in contatto con Bill Hurley degli Inmates, come sta? Saluti! Rob - UD
If you are watching this video right now 2023, I swear you’re a legend. Enjoy the greatness of dr. John!!
2024 now
Yeah

I’m new to his music and I’m hooked - this guy is in touch with some Other stuff
I swear that bass player sounds just like a tuba. The Dr. Is on high ground tonight. RIP Mac!

Toure ya ya bud
Pure New Orleans. No music like it in the world. Reaches right to your soul. Gone much too soon. God rest your soul Reb.
This is transcendent. Dr. John is a musical shaman…
The players are excellent. Love the drummer's timing.
I can not for the life of me understand why the bass player seems not to be having fun. Even if you're sight-reading the gig, that had to be a blast, playing that music.
Probably because the drumms spoil the gig, there is no need for drumms, playing Dr john sophisticated left hand and an bass player
@@katalonien8696 Have you never been to New Orleans? Funky drummers, pianists, and sax players are their most well-know exports.
@@davidkindred7677 So true.
@@dsnodgrass4843 About the bass player: not everybody has the same expression on their face, when they enjoy stuff.

Splendid. If this is just a copy of an old VHS tape, ah jezz cou'nt believe mah eaz.
It blew me away when, on Somethin' You Got, on the first chorus of his piano solo, he played Melvin Lastie's trumpet solo on the song "I Know." I play that solo myself when the band I play with does "I Know."
And then Cry Me a River on the solo on Georgia on my Mind. He was the king of mixing it up
Thanks for saving this... A maestro at the peak of his powers, though they didn't diminish much over the next 30 years...
It takes an enormous reservoir of cool to be in the midst of all that TV technical crew, and not seem even a little tightened-up and self-conscious about doing your thing. The Doctor was on a whole 'nother level.
Thank you Thank you!!
This is a superb show with a stripped down group and close ups of the master’s hands doing his magic
This is why TH-cam is awesome. Thanks so much for uploading this Eric, really great stuff that would otherwise not see the light of day!
You're welcome, it's a great pleasure to share this with all music lovers.
@@eric669 yeah, eric,Eric, so much. I've listened to this thing twice..
Just wonderful
Derek trucks and sue tedeski is another one.
Great pianist, great musician, great person!!
And a great loss to the World.

Elton is no dunce on keys- the NOLA
style is quite unique, and no snap to put together expertly. Even being from there is no guarantee...

Heart of Music ❤️🔥
the such a night piano is so good damn
Simply the best so glad i met Dr john will never forget such a night
His Music is always the best Aay Time ❤❤
Still mesmerizing after all these years!
I mean to say he’s an uptown ruler!
Yeah, something you got 🎉🎉🎉
This guy brought Mardi Gras with him wherever he went!
He was obviously a Chas and Dave fan. Gertcha!
Grande! Quando la Rai valeva qualcosa. Grazie!

He's like a one-man rhythm and horn section.
So sweet 💓
I bei tempi di DOC quando la rai faceva Kultura non lo schifo di oggi. What a goove on this line up Dr. John RIP.
This is so great, thanks for posting. Miss the good doctor. Still brings so much joy.
I live less than 5 miles from New Orleans, He is, was, and forever be a National Treasure.
Italians, uhhh, you get the best performances from the best artists.

@@eric669 no sono calabrese ma amo molto la musica🤣
Quando morirò vorrei che mia figlia facesse accompagnare bil mio feretro al suono della sua musica..... almeno me ne andrò in allegria e ballando😂😂😂
Thank you for this fantastic recording. Small correction: 20 min song title is LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER (Let the Good Times Roll)
Must be the best version of Something You Got out there. Get solo by the great Dr. Thanks so much for posting this video 👍
Total non New Orleans beat!! Dr john made the best of it
This is incredible....love the shots of his hands! Thank you for sharing, Eric!
I saw Dr. John play with a band here in NYC at the Blue Note in early 1997, and he played "Wild Honey." I loved it, but I've been unable to find any evidence of that song even existing since then. Thanks so much for uploading this wonderful footage of one of my musical heroes, grazie mille!

Tom I saw him do that tune in 1978 I believe at The Cellar Door in DC. I know where you’re coming from.
Really super special, Dr. John! Thanks for share.
Saw him maybe 20 or so years ago at Buddy Guys Legions in Chicago. Very dark show , made you think you in the bayou swamp at 2:00 am .
Wow rare best of Doctor John thank you Eric I loved when he came to NY. never missed a show RIP. miss you my brother
