Thanks thegoochman...My home town. It's fun to recognize Herb's float passing under the US Hwy 90 bridge nearing Lee Circle then the champagne toast in front of Gallier Hall. May New Orleans rebuuild to a better town! At 4:06 there is Kolb's German restaurant where big leather belts turned ceiling fans but German figures "turned" the cranks fot the fans. What a great old place.

I was there that Mardi Gras day 1968 on a balcony on St. Charles Avenue near Canal Street and saw Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass perform during the Krewe of Rex parade. The footage was later included in their special in April 1968 called The Beat of the Brass.

"Wall Street Rag" from  the SRO album. Features one of the best drum breaks ever!
