[tigerjonn]

I love Dr John! But my favorite song of Dr Johns, Mama Roux, is really difficult to find. There is none of Dr Johns version on Youtube....

[vollsticks]

@tigerjonn You know it's on the Gris Gris album, don't you?

[LeshaAnn]

@vollsticks Uhh,  no it isn't. Maybe the cd...

[vollsticks]

@LeshaAnn I wasn't referring to this song--if you read tigerjonn's original comment you'll see that he's opining that his favourite song, Mama Roux, is hard to get hold of. Just trying to help by telling him which album it was on.

[zcolonel98]

Another outstanding, of many, creative Dr John pieces. He is a tremendous entertainer and get this, I'm not even from New orleans, ha!!!

[hamhamgo]

[spotonk9s]

Love the explanation of how the song came to be.

[Avalroff]

Merci docteur

[imflyinn]

Hands-down, the greatest video ever made! Dr. John is beyond mere greatness.

[beowulven]

I shouldn't have eaten last last hit...

[3shiftgtr]

[funkyalfonso]

He's got a satchel of gris-gris in his hand. They call him the night tripper.

[wslyder]

[magillazmygorilla]

Aw yes...I love that groove right there...I have that album...I'll try to post the song soon....but YT has been giving me problems lately...

[wtw1008]

ha ha love it !! :D:)

[dezcrawford]

The old Almonaster junkyard was pretty well established by the mid '70s. Kids used to drag race out there because it was so far out on the fringes of town. I'm thinking this was around 1970. Makes me feel OLD. But in a good way. I miss '70s New Orleans.

[teet555]

[Munchenette]

[ledzepp461]

To hell with the over-produced junk on VH1 and MTV....THIS is what a music video should be!

[browniemcgheeggallin]

brittany spears is a dumb cunt

[jllorigins]

@ledzepp461 amen

[bwanna23]

At last, a music video that has something to say.

[billyshitcheese]

incredible.

[challeechalloo]

From The Sun, Moon, and Herbs

[challeechalloo]

Cabbage Head and Where Ya At, Mule?

[mcantrellroberson]

Great video!! I live in Washington Heights, not the most fab local in NYC, and the other day, I ran into my neighbor...The Night Tripper!!! He was so cool, living in some regular apartment on a regular street. He saw my daughter and asked, "Is that your sprout?" I was truly in awe.

[FonkyLynx]

Respect for the Doctor...

[stoneface21]

i just found out me and the doctor share a birthday.....sooo fuggin' sweet

[inyi]

oh yesss yessss YEEEEESSSSSSS GUMBO YAYA ZUZUUUUUU

[HimlersRing]

Ha! Great video! Regarding the comment below on Van Morrison. Thats very interesting, I'd never considered that before and it's very true. He hinted at it with Astral Weeks I suppose, but it dropped off with Moondance. The photo shoot with him and then wife Janet Planet for the Tupelo Honey album out in the woods and on the horse was a good look, he should of gone picking shrooms while he was out there!

[mffrisco]

never seen this video or heard this song. (Before now, of course.) Mad props. Rock on.

[moriarty37]

I wish van morrison had had a psychadelic period channeling acient irish gods

[HimlersRing]

[moriarty37]

mama roux or foux da fafa?

[ComradeCrusty]

Tupelo Honey was an ounce of shrooms short of being a proper psych album...ahhh, what could have been.

[HimlersRing]

Van always looked as though he was on the edge & needed a lysergic push into psych. With Astral Weeks sound, songs like 'And it Stoned Me', themes surrounding mysticism & album covers like Hard Nose the Highway (same artist did Herbie Hancocks 'Sextant') he was close. I suppose not going there he retained an individuality that made him the unique genre bending artist he was. Few can cross showband, soul, blues, rock, folk & psych elements into the 1 sound & his long & varied career is testament.

[billyshitcheese]

i think he's more like a face monkey blah blah, with album nyoose and swenton blam biop. don't you agree? and of course, one mustn't neglect to mention the vyooom nhgumyou and blonb-ba-mah. or am i being too academic?

[NORMLduder]

@billyshitcheese you sir are and idiot

[swollengoat906]

Makes me home sick. : (

[JMotnger]

Cool.

[jtknola]

Anyone know where this footage was filmed? Was it filmed in New Orleans East out by the Almonaster Ave. junkyards?

[rufufus]

Junkyards were closer to town when this was videotaped.

Think about even Hupcap Heaven.

Coulda been tha east out close to a party on the Rigolets.....

[sonicjay007]

GRIS gris his best music..'the end'

[MightyAlz]

Dr. John was so much cooler when he was a mental voodoo priest kinda guy.

[celblues7]

geen-nee-us.........yerd me?

[RxJohnTNT]

gris  gris

[markev123]

Dr john was a heroin addict for over 40 yrs

[rufufus]

a lot of cats have maintained for much longer than that. not many though.

[narcoleptus]

Great stuff, party time!

[ewr2112]

oh, please it's a lovely video./... i have a goat of my own!

[zurapDOR]

weigh that mule!! :-D

[Occaras]

Ak na bebow.

[jasongogal]

Mac actually wasn't down with LSD. He was a stone junkie the whole time.

[charleypatton1928]

Can someone send me a Dr John clip of the song 'Right Place Wrong Time' that WAS on Youtube but has been removed for copyright reasons.

It was recorded live around (early) 197? - a really geat performance.

[ePhilosopher]

right down dere

[propagandhi758]

I heard a rumor that there was some drug use involved here.

[areyoureadykane]

never mind just read it.

[areyoureadykane]

what album is this from?

[Debstardivine]

I'm pretty sure this is from Sun Moon and Herbs..

[SoulTooSoul]

How could I forget that the Dr. plays guitar and also conga drums. The man was a studio musician for years.

[SoulTooSoul]

The Dr. said, "Where ya at mule". The Dr. aka Mac Rebennack sings this on his Sun,Moon, Herbs cd. He has become a New Orleans institution. His voice sounds like he gargles in 100 proof bourbon. Besides having a unique voice, he is an excellent pianist.

[TarAntXon]

started out as a guitarist too! check out "Storm Warning" G E N I U S

[dremis1]

The Doctor made very cool videos.

[blatmech]

Prolly 25 years befo Katrina. Could be today!

[Tejano44]

Too Much !

[9thwardyat]

this is so cool
