5/1/09 Tipitina's French Quarter, New Orleans, LA

Day two in New Orleans was quite uneventful unfortunately. Having gotten to bed well past dawn the night before, I ended up sleeping most of the day and my lofty plans of experiencing the city and festival were thwarted by the snoozage.

The other Tipitina's seemed to be a slightly classier joint, and we were glad to have ample time for set-up and soundcheck. It was probably the most packed house of the tour. The crowd was bumpin', and we had a pretty rockin' version of Coles > Tangled, with a cool funk riff developing in the latter. Toward the end of the show, Bonerama trombonist, Mark Mullins, swung by and sat in on a few tunes. He had great tone, picked up on things very quickly, and added a nice dimension to the band.

After the show, the band bid each other farewell for the end of the tour, and I took a short nap before my 8am flight back to Chicago for a show with FGC. Thanks to everyone for an awesome tour!

To distract you from my fairly lame final post, here are a few more NOLA pics for your viewing pleasure:
