DR. JOHN @ BONNAROO 2006
"...They played on a stage decorated with a totem: an abstract cross that looked like it was made from driftwood and skeletons. Dr. John was dressed as the Night Tripper in a feathered headdress and a fur-trimmed cape with mysterious markings. The band played 'I Walk on Gilded Splinters' as rolling, slow-gathering funk, with a keening slide guitar. A woman dressed in white, like a voodoo celebrant, danced onstage; Dr. John left his keyboards and approached her, tapping on an African-style bell as she shimmied next to him. It was a New Orleans ritual: part tradition, part theater, and geared for a good time....." [NY TIMES]
FREE NYC SHOW: River to River at Rockefeller Park presents DR. JOHN AND FRIENDS SING JOHNNY MERCER, Wednesday, June 28, 7pm @ the World Financial Center.
