My mum told me that I came into the world with Dr John playing in her hospital room. He was the first thing I would of heard in the world. Not a bad way to come into being.
-
Dr. John was a legend among his musical peers but never got the wide recognition he so richly deserved. A true American treasure.
-
Literally one of the greatest piano performances of all time. Perfect collision of style , syncopation, joy and master class playing. There was only Dr John.
-
There are folks that make music for a living, and there are folks that make music because it is part of their life/ Dr. John will be missed.
-
Sounds like 3 piano players… he was one of a kind!
-
I remember this song from the 70s and it was a high point for me. I was playing piano at the time it came out and Dr. John was my hero and still is. I would have loved to study under him.

I met the good doctor down in New Orleans as my BIL was good friends with him. He said hello sir I’m John. I was shaking ( I’m a professional bassist) so meeting folks usually is fun and a treat but this late afternoon he was already dressed from head to toe and of course very high too. Kept calling me young man which was crazy since I’m in my mid 60’s now. BTW he talks just like he sings. A memory I’ll never forget.

Good Lord! There have only been a very few of these creatures on this earth. The universal force called music seems to find them and make them into conduits. Dr John didn't play music, the music played him. It moved through him as easily as the air he breathed. What a rare and beautiful wonder he was. No, this wasn't his "best." You can't give a rating to how the music flowed on any given occasion. On this day, it used him in this way.

Such a big light in the world blinked out when he died. Rest easy, Mac. You were one hell of a blessing.

Damn!!! This man really knew how to blow the roof off...Crazy woman dancing on the walls and ceiling here!!! Such a night indeed. Such a master, absolutely. 🎼🎹🎹🎼

This man was such a beautiful sublime creator of music with that New Orleans stamp on it. One of the best concerts I ever attended. The great Dr comes strutting towards the stage with a cane and the attitude on display that everyone knew that the time had arrived for a party of the ages commanded by the good Dr. It's a pity that his reputation hasn't been more widely known. A unique individual following in the traditional New Orleans love of music.

RIP, Dr John. Thank you for making this world a more wonderful place by sharing your music.
-
Those New Orleans musicians really have a very special sound....And that music just spills out into the streets so beautifully.
-
Just a stellar version. The piano of course, but also his voice sounds as good as I ever heard it. RIP Mac.
-
I had the pleasure of hearing Mac and the Lower Ninth do this tune at the Krewe du Vieux ball. We miss him! ❤
-
I'm so glad I got a chance to see Dr John in person before he died. It was at the Charlotte Jazz Festival in 1993, and he brought the house down!
-
This performance was recorded on NPR's Mountain Stage Broadcast. Engineered by Francis Fisher January 8, 1989. The Mountain Stage Band is providing the backing. May he rest in the peace of all the joy he gave to so many people....
-
Such A Night ... such a gift from God this one of a kind musician ... so glad this version was recorded
-
I'm a pianist. This was incredible! Dr John never disappoints! Thanks for posting this gem!
-
My god what a player, I may have just been put in my place but I'm glad its Mac doing that. Beautiful.
