Dr John – Live At The Village Gate (2-CD)

Previously unissued performance from 1988 by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Features tracks from across his storied career Mastering and Restoration by multiple Grammy-winning engineer Michael Graves with new liner notes from Joe Marchese (TheSecondDisc. Com) Produced in full cooperation with the Dr. John Estate Mac Rebennack, widely known as Dr. John, changed the course of popular music starting with his 1968 debut, Gris Gris and pushed it further with each new album, infusing his recordings with exciting new directions and influences while throwing off hits like "Right Place, Wrong Time" and "Such A Night" in his wake. We are fortunate that the music continued to pour out of him until the world lost him in 2019 - five decades after we'd first been hoodood. The Estate of Dr. John and Omnivore Recordings are pleased to present Live At The Village Gate, a previously unheard performance (unless you were lucky enough to be there), recorded on the evening of March 5, 1988. The set features classics like "Mess Around, " "Georgia On My Mind, " and "Mardi Gras Day" - and even a crowd request for "Mama Roux" from his aforementioned debut album, Gris Gris - all, of course, played to perfection. With mastering and restoration by multiple Grammy-winning engineer Michael Graves, Live At The Village Gate also includes new and informative line notes from The Second Disc's Joe Marchese. It's over 90 minutes of prime, live Dr. John, and as he says, "Keep That Music Simple" and "Let The Good Times Roll. " Experience Live At The Village Gate.
