Wow... It was fantastic. Like Jazz Fest but on a smaller scale. We saw Galactic,
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Lez Zeppelin,
JJ Grey & Mofro, Toots & the Maytals and Rage Against the Machine. As I said, "wow." Almost any ONE of those bands would have been worth traveling to see. Saw all of them on the very first day. Epic.
Then left the Fest and went in to the Faubourg Marigny with Chris making the EXCELLENT judgment call to go in to d.b.a. and see the Zydepunks. As Chris said on his blog, "I took off my flip-flops and danced like I would never get the chance again. They were amazing. Absolutely stand-out in a weekend of amazing music." Wandered in to the Apple Barrel to see New Orleans piano legend Henry Butler sitting in with the house band. What a first day!
