If you're a fan of late-50's/early 60's R&B then you know and love "Ain't Got No Home" but the odds are you've never seen Clarence "Frogman" Henry in action. This DVD lets you have the chance to witness Clarence "Frogman" Henry's energetic performance along with inspired appearances from artists as diverse as Elvis Costello, Elton John, Kiana Krall, John Fogerty, Jimmy Buffett, and a variety of New Orleans artists including Allen Toussaint, The Meters, Irma Thomas, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and The Neville Brothers. If that lineup doesn't hook you then consider that this is an essential document of a rare benefit appearance by Simon & Garfunkel, including Aaron Neville joining the pop duo on "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Although the DVD omits some memorable performances (Paul Simon with Allen Toussaint and some of John Fogerty's performance, among others) this DVD documents most of a truly memorable concert.Read full review
WOW. If you are a fan of New Orleans music, this is a must have! Cyril Nevilles rendition of Big Chief almost had me up and dancing around the room. Seeing Jimmy Buffet play with Dave Matthews and Allen Toussaint was awesome as well. Also, the late Ed Bradley has some great introductions. I am still making my way through this entire DVD, it is really lengthy. A great value for the $$
I am a post Katrina resident of New Orleans. It is a deeeply emotional portrayal of the feelings of the loss after Katrina. My favorite part is Irma Thomas singing the blues so heartfelt, after her loss of home and possessions, that she was physicallly drained. That's the real blues! The brass bands, second lines, and array of music makes you remember what New Orleans was like before Katrina.
Great concert for a great city.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Jimmy Buffett and Dave Matthews together and more of The Coral Reefer Band live is the only reason I bought it. Buffett with Paul Simon was OK. Simon was bad. Rest of the acts were horrible. Would have never bought it if I did not want to see Jimmy together with Dave. Not caught up with the rest of it.
