  • ...also...silly cybyn

  • this song is on the sun, moon, herbs album, i believe, tho' not this exact version. does anyone know if this version is available on vinyl?

  • Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya....I walk on Gilded Splinters...Mama Roux. Man we tripped out on this shit back when that album came out.. We loved it cause it was the real shit and it put Dr. John on the map.

  • Many not familiar with it confuse voodoo and hoodoo. Voodoo is the religion and hoodoo is the black magic. Dr. John was a dj down here when I drove a cab in New Orleans, and he really was a gri gris man. Practiced it for years, and still does.

  • This was on in my local shop the other day but when I asked for it they said it was 'the shop copy'. They will go out of business I reckon.

  • Nobody makes music like this anymore, not even Dr. John, precious.

  • Indeed. As much as I love the doc though, I dont really like the tame "studio funk" he seems to be into these days. Shame.

  • just thought i'd share a memory - saw DrJohn play this in Glastonbury a long long time ago...a an old lady in a black wedding dress walked through the seated crowd with a live raven on her arm...shear voodoo - kinda sticks with me that one

  • trippy shit. LSD is the ultimate portal to the spirit world

  • " LSD is the ultimate portal to the spirit world "

    One of many - try Ayahuasca, mushrooms (in quantity), or DMT.

  • don't forget good ole mescalito

  • Or Ibogaine, which helps people kick their heroin and even alcohol habits.

  • Opps! I made a wrong turn, somewhere around the 'crazy' circle... hehe.. Love tha Doc!

  • Serious JuJu...N'awlins mind...Dr. John

  • serious stuff definitely! absolutely awesome!

  • Beautiful :-)

  • the song is by turns seductive, trippy, and creepy. and the visuals are perfect. despite their devilish looks, they make you want to go up on the stage and dance. awesome video.

  • This is funny lol

  • This is serious NA'Lins (New Orleans).

  • trippiest video i ever done seen

  • Try 'Masked ball'. It's ten times trippier than this.

  • Saw him do this live at the Fillmore West in 69 (carasel ballroom) Pretty heavy stuff from the front leanin on the stage. Very trancelike hoodoo voodoo. Still have some gris-gris in my hair

  • Wow "Something Else" was cool...and Doctor John? Gris gris gumbo ya-ya--hey now!

  • the Gris Gris man trips me out when im high! i love listening to the album "Gris Gris" when i toke up

  • thank you for that old way-out clip

  • He looks like the Devil!

  • dr john is the answer..

  • As I remember, this came from a taped tv production, maybe in connection with the cross-Canadian tour Mac did that year...I think that's Lana -- my ex-wife -- doin' the slinky dance in the center...

  • Ripped Off MY Mind!

  • My, my ... but ain't DrJ the real thang? He does certainly have the groove going here. Anybody know where this piece is from? What was "Something Else"? That was some pretty intense video production for 1970!

  • Zu Zu Mamou

    Album :Sun Moon & Herbs

    1971

  • gris gris gumbo wicked! never thought id get to see such rare footage. used to trip to dr john blinding! ;-)

  • Outstanding! Thank you for sharing this. I was turned on to dr john when I was 14......I'd love to get some of his old gris gris music....

  • dr. john!

    1969 heart!

    WOW!

  • I wanna drink whiskey to this.

  • I wanna smoke some o' that cheeba cheeba to this.

  • yeah actually i'd rather be smoking cheeba than drinking whiskey to this

  • Saw Dr John in Prospect Park Brooklyn. Fantastic!

  • ice cold cool

  • this is the definition of COOL

  • 1970! The night tripper was the first to rock the corpse paint! Great tune-

  • ur an idiot...

  • buckyballsblacky has 'Spiritualized' as one of - only ten -favorites. You know, I mean... really. haha.

    Heartfelt thanks cosmicommander I had no idea there was footage let alone would it be this awesome. Owe ya big.

  • ...'Spiritualized'lol

  • Mack was born & grew up in N'Orleans, he inhaled hoodoo with the air he breathed...heroin has nothing to do with it, the man is a nat'ral born houngan...and a SUPERB musician/singer/songwriter...A­nd this particular song is one of his sexiest...

  • Your a DICK, DICKdonna, why are you on Dr.John then, FUCK OFF to a some American idol shit singers page, trash one of those no talent singers. Show some respect man.

  • Awesome early voodoo chilin soul from the good Doctor!

  • Totally awesome

  • Dr. John wasn't down with LSD. He was a heroin junkie. He was also influenced by spiritualism, voodoo, etc.

  • I think it's hoodoo that they are practicing in NO. I may be wrong, though.

  • This is GREAT!!!

    CC

  • we still have hanging trees for the hotwinders

  • Il est le grand zombie ... too fine

  • yesssssss

  • Hoodoo, gumbo funk at it's best! Its destively bonaroo!

  • Never any acid around when you need it.

  • that sounded TOO heavy,LOL

    Pardon,

    Peace........

  • Some give us more than music,

    Offering more to the spirit,body and minds than rhythms and sounds,

    I found this green apple here, growing out a tree of pears....

    Listen deep,

    Does his words connect with your rotting conscience?

    They do with mine.....

  • ? You ok bro? Man I hope so.

  • take more than an apple to keep this doctor away!

  • The Doctor is in!!!

  • super!

  • Thank you very much!! This is awesome!! I love Dr John's voodoo stuff. I still hope someday I'll watch a live show from the late 60's. Why is there so much mystery around that time (when Gris Gris, Sun Moon & Herbs and Babylon were released). Is it black magic?

  • Its hoodoo folk magic.

  • this is the man right ?

    i love the doctor

    the good doctor,,

    mac raebaneck

    TINY / SALFOD

  • psychadelic stew!

  • DR John wild!

  • this is a mega tryp!!

  • I love his new stuff, but I adore his voodoo gumbo.

  • Awesome video....

  • True New Orleans voodoo mystique. Professor Longhair and James Booker would be proud. Through all the changes in music the Dr. has continued to produce great music, from jazz, soul, funk, rock, etc.

  • Amazing.. The voodoo sorcerer..

  • THANKS for posting!

  • Still an awesome artist in every respect

  • wow. shocking even today. he is the good doctor. thank you for posting this.
