Notes:
Here's the first of the two shows by The Original Meters during this year's Jazz Fest run.
This is a reprise of the show the year before at this venue, albeit with fewer guests. I
don't think the sound is particularly good here on the floor, where I was, maybe it's better
up in the balconies. Vocals are low in the mix as well. And despite a little crowd chatter,
sound is fine overall. Samples below. Enjoy!

Notes:
Here's the closing set from Gentilly on the final day of the Festival. Again, I thought
the sound could have been a bit better, it is what it is I suppose. Crowd noise is present
but not bad really. And who knows how many more times we'll see The Original Meters. It's
a thrill for me just being in their presence. Sound is fine overall. Samples below. Enjoy!
