Good, not great. Him, solo, which is always nice.

But not many surprises, and I've seen him a bunch. Played some great old tunes, some I didn't know, and had some nice commentary throughout.

Absolutely recommended! Living legend.

Could he be a courier for information between the oil industries (HOUSTON) and the oil spill (NEW ORLEANS)??????
Makes you think! What's going on behind the scenes so that he was in Houston and now in New Orleans????

After all, there's not one word about it in the mainstream media!
Look at the truth. It's obvious, and all around you. Poor misguided public. I weep for your ignorance as you're led like lambs to the slaughter by the corporitocracy.

Forfeited the Jeff Beck appearance because I saw him only the week before in Houston.

Class acts from last year

Going on right now. Last weekend in April, first weekend in May. I gotta make plans to go again. Haven't been in years.

Back in the day, I saw Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, Jerry Lee Lewis, Señor Salsa, and a young upstart Wynton Marsalis playing in the Gospel tent.

Look at this year's lineup:
Jeff Beck,
Wilco,
Robert Plant,
Subdudes,
Decemberists,
Cyndi Lauper,
Dixie Cups,
Jason Mraz,
Wyclef Jean,
Robert Cray,
Ricky Skaggs,
Tom Jones,
Arlo Guthrie,
Arcade Fire,
Willie Nelson,
Gregg Allman,
The Strokes,
Jimmy Buffett,
The Nevilles, and
Sonny Rollins - as well as dozens of smaller names.
