New Orleans-LA

[shawncoolman]

For everyone complaining about the heat in NOLA in July - yes it's hot and sticky during the day but once the sun goes down it ain't no thang.  And if you are heat-averse in every way possible, drink a cold Abita and eat a shrimp po boy and all will be right in the world 

I am pretty bummed they're not playing one of the 3 (!) beautiful new theaters that recently reopened downtown.  Oh well, maybe an outdoor show will up the chances of another MMJ second line??

I'm in +1.

Hey everybody,

I bought 3 tix to the NOLA show for my buddy's bday- but he has a conflict (his Grandma's 90th!).

Anyway, I'd love a fan to buy these at Face Value. 3 seats together, 13 rows up from the PIT, center.

They are already up on Cash or Trade https://cashortrade.org/profile/AdamNiederpruem/posts/149191#.VW4P3mBN1FI
(a great site if you don't know it).


Sec: FLR B
Row: 13
Seats 20-22

I'm asking $170 for all 3, and I can ship electronically via Ticketmaster.

Hi everyone,

Flying in from San Antonio on Thursday.  Looking over the weather.  Saw there is a chance of thunderstorms for Friday.  Really hope this doesn't affect the show..

It's gonna be a scorcher!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.  But not due to the Nola heat but because the jacket needs to play the most epic STEAM ENGINE of all time.  Carl hitting us with some mad sax riffs and Bo busting out some trippy ass key solo.  I once had a dream that a "phone went west" and did a "run thru" the desert and got bit by a "cobra".  So when you want to complain about the heat just turn to the prettiest girl you see and tell her "your skin looks good in the moonlight".  It will either get you laid or you my friend have found your pink unicorn.  Where's that preparty at because I'm coming to get the place jacked.  Let's do this!!!

Love your enthusiasm, Mellow Man!!  I don't think too many of y'all are planning on attending this show, but for those who are coming - especially if you're from outta town-try to be smart in the heat! The "real feel" for tomorrow might get upwards of 110. Hydrate. Find shade. Don't fall out from heat exhaustion and cause the band to get distracted from whatever they're giving us!! ;) Seriously, be careful. More later on pre-game options. =)

For those who will be in town and free around noon-ish, it's Satchmo Fest Weekend.  Pres. Hall plays at noon Friday...lots of other good music, dance lessons, and seminars.  Has been free in that past, but I think they are charging a $5 admission this year.  Full schedule here: http://fqfi.org/satchmo/schedule/stage

Pre-game - A few options: 1) Happy's Pub on Poydras - cheesy chain where the waitresses have to wear school girl outfits, but they usually have a decent draft selection.  Short 5-7 minute walk to Champ. Square. No food.

2) Walk-On's - same cheesy chain as Happy's but with food and similar draft list as Happy's.  Half a block closer to Champ. Square than Happy's.

3) Cellar Door - cool spot on Lafayette. A slightly longer walk to the Sq.  More of a cocktail place, but decent beer in cans/bottles.  Good food.

If you're going to camp out in line, there's a Rouse's not too far on Baronne.  Go, buy food and beverages, and take it all to the line with you.  No open container law here - glass is a no-no, but I've never been hassled.  Have a go (plastic) cup, just in case.

Of course there are more and better options a short cab/streetcar/bus ride away.

Hoping for a magic show in this most magic of cities.  They can't come to New Orleans and not bring it! 

I will be hitting the Avenue Pub at some point in the afternoon.  Met a guy Craig who works at the whiskey bar upstairs, I have not been there but I think he said they have 200+ whiskies (!) in addition to being one of the top beer bars in the world, at least according to the bartender at Latitude 29 last night.  Burgers and sandwiches too.  It's on St. Charles so it's a short cab ride / Uber to the show, but you don't want to be walking to the show anyway in the heat!  Save your sweat for the show.

I'll probably have a straw hat on with the number 23 on it, come say howdy if you see me.

For the heat, I'm field testing one of those cooling towel things that are super absorbent - you wet them and they cool you down via evaporation.  A wet bandanna works too.  Drink yer water!

I'm not from here but I love this town and have done a lot of exploring.  There are SO many excellent places in New Orleans to eat and drink, find them!  Check out Yelp or ask a local, they are super friendly and all have opinions.  Get off Bourbon and go explore!  Going to be a great night!

[NoVa_NoLa]

My favorite bar and also an excellent choice!  The Avenue Pub is one of the best bars in the city and is consistently rated as one of the top 50 beer bars in the country!  The bourbon/whiskey program is also one of the top 3 in the city.  Food there is also good...like I said, this is my favorite bar in the city!

Maybe a surprise guest with Preservation Hall Jazz Ensemble tonight?

[Jackets N Pones]

With that encore, I think it's safe to assume some PHJB was involved.

With that encore, I think it's safe to assume some PHJB was involved.

Lucius girls sang on Wonderful. All of Lucius played on the rest. No PHJB.

[MMJCOBRA]

Love the combo of Highly Suspicious / Holdin onto Black Metal.  Both those songs don't get enough love individually but paired in a live setting they are epic!!!!!

Nice set overall for the bourbon street folks.

[MMJCOBRA]

Just checked my setlist stats and have never seen the HS/HOTBM combo before.  Out of my 26 shows, I have seen the HOTBM/HS combo twice, once in Atl in 2011 and and the final night of OBH2.

Love logging my shows into setlist.fm so I can get geeky with that shizzy.

[SplatSplatSplat]

Thanks for the updates SplatSplatSplat!

You are most welcome!

Damn! That looks like a helluva show, and that 4 song run to close out the main set is just about as good as it gets.
