Glastonbury high st at night

[mikesey1]

Hi Tom. YouTube took away my HQ settings too..Seems like when a video has high viewcounts and has been on channel for more than two years, they think it ain't worth the bother of keeping them looking good like when they were first uploaded :(

No wonder people are considering uploading to other video-sharing sites; leave them here and watch them deteriorate.

This video, however doesn't look too bad.

Mike.

[jen3nyfer]

thanks 4 the video :) I spent just 6months there but that place is magic... I've felt a lot of things watching it.

Lovely music

[urheadonastick]

Why did youtube remove this cool music?

[narcoleptus]

Copyright infringement claim by the record company!

[urheadonastick]

To bad the fat cigar chomping know nothing corporate jackasses dont understand these videos increase there sales by giving the public a taste of something they would otherwise never been hip to.Sad-Thanks for the post narcoleptus is was one of the best while it lasted-

[jahavisar]

I totally agree with you, that was on my short list of all time favorite videos. jahedg

Man, I saw Dr. John in Kansas City about 2 years ago. It was phenomenal, and his performance with the band on such a night. He is a master at what he does

[Efrasnel]

Is there any thruth in the rumour that Dr. John got fired by Frank Zappa after the good doctor offered him a joint during a recording session?

[splankhoon]

I have tons of stuff on zappa but never read anywhere about he and dr.John doing a recording sesion.

[Efrasnel]

It's something I read in a Dutch magazine, circa 1989. I remember it because it struck me as something atypical of the '60s and '70s.

[splankhoon]

ze schreven zoveel over zappa, al was het maar om zijn "no-drugs" attitude altijd te benadrukken. In "The Real Frank Zappa Book" ontkracht hij zelf een aantal hardnekkige mythes die rond zijn persoon blijven bestaan. Zeker de moeite waard om eens te lezen dat boek. Cheers

[Efrasnel]

Ik zeg niet dat het waar is...maar geef toe, het is een mooi gerucht. John's reactie in het interview was: "I was just being social, y'know".

GRIS  GRIS

[swollengoat906]

Its offical I want to go home.

[pentsauce]

yeah, somethin like this with walk on guilded splinters would be great

[Laveau]

SO cool to find this tune on Youtube. The whole cd is so good. It is a spiritual journey on its own. I head that Dr.John recorded this album in one time without correction or anything. Frank Zappa was recording an album and he allowed Dr John to use a bit of his time in the studio to record this killer album.

[Efrasnel]

I think the leftover recording time was from a Sonny and Cher recording session.

[Laveau]

Thanks for the info! Bedankt (:>)

I'm a native New Orleanian and living back in the city. It's interesting how similar the vibe in this video is to the vibe I get walking down Dauphine street late at night in the French Quarter or Marigny. I think it would be great to see a similar video with the song "I Walk on Guilded Splinters" by Dr. John...I consider it "part 2" to this song, really...2 different sides of the same Bayou VooDoo spell...

[narcoleptus]

Thanks for your comment.

I love 'Walk on gilded splinters' but its such special, timeless music that doing justice to it would be hard!

Still a great idea though!

The copyright wars have made me jumpy!

I've seen friends channels being deleted by youtube for having copyright music!

I love the music and want to share it! simple as that!

Thanks for firing me up!

All the best to yourself and to New Orleans, the very best!

[richarda92]

You're right, it would be hard...I've also seen too many good things deleted, best to watch out. Glad to see our music is appreciated in places far away. Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!

[zurapDOR]

Someone the must have moved 'the splinters'. Were here a couple o moonsago..only found a nice version o Humple Pie..IMHPO..

[Laveau]

Totally agree on the Gilded Splinters part! Unfortunately I never went to New Orleans yet. But I will, that I know for sure !

[richarda92]

Come visit anytime. We love company. The local music scene is really coming back to life.

[Laveau]

Thank you so much for the invite! It is one of my biggest dreams to come and visit this fascinating city. If you happen to come to Amsterdam, let me know and I will show you around!!!

[LaMongrelle]

If you haven't already, go read 'Under a HooDoo Moon' - Mac Rebbenack's autobiography - fascinating!

Love the vid, by the way!

[narcoleptus]

Thanks for your comment and info, will do!

[slobone]

Never knew Glastonbury was such a sinister place...

[heidimarier]

No, seriously! He was seeing a friend of mine and now I clean his apartment. Anyway, I thought I'd check out some of his music online.

[heidimarier]

I just did some laundry for him today because he's leaving tomorrow for some shows in NO.

[narcoleptus]

I believe you! Any well known artists music I use on my vids and I get paranoid then start meeting people who know them! I used a well known Rolling Stones number on one vid then remembered a friend of mine wko's mates with a certain singers brother! I afraid to use any van morrison music because I see him in the town occasionally!(I have anyway but don't tell anyone!) and he might give me a mouthful!

[heidimarier]

No worries. I'm sure he'd be flattered at the tribute. I wonder if he knows he's all over youtube. lol

[heidimarier]

I know dr. John. I clean his apartment! lol

[narcoleptus]

.......eerr give him my regards, all the best from the 'Isle of the dead'

I am merely a foot soldier in that vast unseen army of uploaders trying to turn people on to quality moosic!

[Fretkillr]

Who do voodoo? I haven't been the same since the ex stuck pins in that doll. I gotta get my mojo working. Cool images.

[dragonzep]

[dragonzep]

[mothermoore]

I found this record at a tag sale back in the early 70s and have been tranfixed since.Brings you right into the mysteries of New Orleans.

[dragonzep]

yeah,i really like the vidio you did,it really fits,cause even without it,you can just sit back and close your eyes and picture yourself walking down the streets of hoodoo vision.you did a really good job,i tip my dark sunglasses to you.

[GumUnderBootCamp]

Dragonzep...maybe YOU can HELP me..I'm assuming that you know about Voodoo since..I kind of recognize some patterns in your idea flow..I have experienced Voodoo on my OWN..I learned it from playing THIS album on the guitar..is that STRANGE or WHAT? Anyway..I now have the ability to do spells, but NO information about what to watch out for and what the HELL is going on..seriously. Please help..PEAcE.

[dragonzep]

the voodoo man known as dr john was a New Orleans root doctor of the 1840s and 1850s. Also known as John Montaigne and Bayou John, he was busted in the 1840s for practicing voodoo with Pauline Rebennack, who may or may not have been a distant relative of our man Mac. One of Mac's grandfathers sang in a minstrel show, and the latter-day Dr. John adapted one of grandpa's favorite tunes, "Jump Sturdy," into the track on Gris-Gris of the same name.

[narcoleptus]

Thankyou dragonzep, no one who ever hears this forgets it, ever, because its timeless and haunting! people will always get inspiration and something special from his music.

[dragonzep]

The name "Dr. John" came from a legendary Louisiana voodoo practitioner from the start of the 19th century.

[joethebear]

Man, the best!!!! Many gumbo journeys.
