    There's a duet Dr. John did with Rickie Lee Jones called "Makin' Whoopie" which is an old classic tune (I think it was written by Cole Porter or maybe Gershwin). Very fun song, and these two killed it. Dr. John's piano is real nice on this song, too.

    • @mikeking7710
      @mikeking7710 2 года назад +7

      "Makin' Whoopee" was written by Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn. The phrase was originally a reference to marriage, and over time it eventually became a euphemism for intimate relations. It's been recorded by many artists, since Eddie Cantor first popularized it in 1928.

      30 years later, I saw Dr. John open for the Stones, in 2002, in Chicago's Aragon Theatre--holds about 2,100 people. Bono came on half way through the show to join the Stones for It's Only Rock n' Roll (But I Like It). Unforgettable night or rarities in an incredible venue for the band.

    BTW, the Bonnaroo festival got its name from Dr. John - from the 1974 album and song "Desitively Bonnaroo". The dude had massive influence, right up to and including the Black Keys. Dan Auerbach produced Dr. John's final CD, "Locked Down".

    Dr. John is one of the all-time greats. His live shows were magical, mystical jam sessions that were just...beyond. I saw him at the Jambalaya Jam in Philly once in the 90s, w/ a 4-piece horn section, and it was one of the greatest shows ever.

    Mac Rebenac, aka Dr. John "The Night Tripper", (RIP) brings the New Orleans Funk to his music at all "times". Guess he was also a fan of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, calling out Brain Salad Surgery, but he may have invented it. Who knows. This was his most famous song, but he has many more.

    Terrific, Funky song! Fun fact: this song, with its line "brain salad surgery," was released 8 months before the ELP album of the same name, which makes me wonder if ELP was influenced by Dr. John's song to title the album that?

    • @elgonwilliams7624
      @elgonwilliams7624 2 года назад +19

      The story on the ELP connection goes something like this. ELP had a different tentative title for that album, which was something like Whip some Skull on Ya - British slang for oral sex. The album cover was designed around using that title. But the record label rejected that title because they thought it was too sexually explicit. They opted for using Brain Salad Surgery because the term was used in this top-charting Dr. John Song (so he got away with it) and it was also slang used to mean the same thing.

    I saw the Doctor at the 1973 Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival. This was during his Dr. John the Night Tripper persona (and he was indeed a trip!), and about five years subsequent to the release of his debut lp, “Gris gris”. One track on that album that received a lot of airplay was “I Walk on Gilded Splinters”. You might want to check it out. Nawlins voodoo music at its best. You mentioned his performance in the concert movie “The Last Waltz”. That number was “Such a Night”. One of his best.

    "I done hit the right vein, but it musta been the wrong arm." Dr John Rebennack got sober later in life. I used to do an annual fundraiser for a friend who had six halfway houses for addicts. Every year some rock and roll celebrity would show up, and give me anxiety attacks about performing in front of them. Two of the most gentlemanly dudes ever--who came over and hung with me for a few minutes, were Dr. John Rebennack, and Ricky Byrd--of Joan Jett and The Blackhearts. But being a huge fan of Dr. John, and having him take the time to come over and hang a few minutes was one of the biggest thrills of my musical life. When he passed in 2019, it hit me hard. Thanks for bringing this back. It's still a bitchin' tune.
