    I met the good doctor down in New Orleans as my BIL was good friends with him. He said hello sir I’m John. I was shaking ( I’m a professional bassist) so meeting folks usually is fun and a treat but this late afternoon he was already dressed from head to toe and of course very high too.
    Kept calling me young man which was crazy since I’m in my mid 60’s now. BTW he talks just like he sings.
    A memory I’ll never forget.

    This man was such a beautiful sublime creator of music with that New Orleans stamp on it. One of the best concerts I ever attended. The great Dr comes strutting towards the stage with a cane and the attitude on display that everyone knew that the time had arrived for a party of the ages commanded by the good Dr. It's a pity that his reputation hasn't been more widely known. A unique individual following in the traditional New Orleans love of music.

    I'm in my late 60's, trying to gain both weight & strength to prepare for a vital surgery, and living about a mile or two from my home in a PT/Rehab center. I knew of Dr. John practically from the get-go, as I was stationed on the Gulf Coast in the early 70's. But now that I'm here after all this time, it's safe to say that he was never really on my mind a whole lot. I must have been suffering from some kind of mental deficiency back then! This guy was a monster talent! This one song is a lifetime's worth of music lessons, combined with a show of talent & palpable charisma & stage energy unparalleled in history. PERIOD.

      Thanks for sharing that! I saw him 'round about that time give or take a year at Bumbershoots in Seattle, outside on a Friday afternoon. He played solo to a smallish crowd (maybe a 100 people?) as it was still Friday, for at least a couple of hours, to our utter delight. He did a very similar version of this tune at the time, and it's great to hear that again!

    PLEASE tell me that that is more than just one piano player in that intro.....my God, how does he do that? And now I confess; I got to work briefly with Mac when I was an engineer at Criteria in the early 70's. Never will I forget the night I walked into studio B where Mac was totally alone, way back in the corner at the Hammond B-3 with just one light on and shining down on him as he played the most incredible stuff I ever heard. I was mesmerized by his playing that New Orleans style that defies all musical laws, swinging dotted eights with one hand and straight 4-4 with the other. The man is a freak of musical nature.

      The best night of music I ever enjoyed was at Tipitina's in NOLA years ago. Went to see the good Doctor. He was supposed to start at 11:00 but in NOLA that's just a suggestion. He showed up about 12:30 all by himself.. He sat down at the piano and said in his raspy voice, "Anyting ya'll wanna hear jus write it on a nakkin and sen it on up." And then he started in. He played for the NEXT THREE HOURS. NOLA funk, show tunes, classical...UNBELIEVABLE! Then he said, "I'm kynna dry. Gonna get somethin to drink an then I'll be back..." Half an hour later he was back at the keyboard and when he finished that set IT WAS 7:30 IN THE MORNING!!! People were on their way to work. I don't think he ever repeated a song the whole time and I bet there weren't a half dozen people who left during the night. And it was all for a $5 entrance fee!!! INCREDIBLE

    Good Lord! There have only been a very few of these creatures on this earth. The universal force called music seems to find them and make them into conduits. Dr John didn't play music, the music played him. It moved through him as easily as the air he breathed. What a rare and beautiful wonder he was. No, this wasn't his "best." You can't give a rating to how the music flowed on any given occasion. On this day, it used him in this way.

    All too often overlooked by images of voo-doo and his uniquely cool character, this man's magnificent musicianship allows him to deliver the goods, regardless of genre! Mac truly CAN play it all. And his love for the people of Nawlinz is the frosting on his humanitarianism cake. May God bless you, Dr. John.

    It is a great performance by the good Doctor. One of the best ever on the Mountain Stage Radio Show and one of the best efforts by the show's house band. Here's a little applause for the boys in the band....

    I'n a piano player, & I grew up listening to this man. 15 years or so my band was honoured to open up for the master. He watched most of our show from the side of the stage just a few feet behind where i was sitting at the piano. I confess i was almost literally crapping my pants, but it pushed me to play above myself too.
    He was really sweet after the show & was kind about my attempts, poured me a whiskey & patiently answered my questions about James Booker, Professor Longhair & Voodoo.
    They say never meet your heroes. Well it was a great pleasure to meat the Dr.

      Someone may come along you'll love just as much; just not in the same way. Your job is to find them soon; before public indifference silences them forever. It's a real danger, in 2019; so much other culture drowns musicians out that it's incredible we get any new ones at all. If love the Doctor's music; save his style: support a low-level practitioner of it.

    I purchased Dr. John's album "Gumbo" when I belonged to a record club. I didn't know anything about him. After listening to that tape I was hooked on his musical style. We used to play that tape and dance all over the house. It goes without saying that more albums were purchased. "In a Sentimental Mood" is another favorite. Such a Night" is a downright awesome tune. I had the pleasure of seeing him live twice and dancing to his music. Wonderful memories.
