Synopsis

Amazon.com

Trippin' Live is an absolute marvel. Recorded over eight days of shows in London, the sound quality is crisp, and Rebennack's eight-man band, including such longtime colleagues as saxophonists Red Tyler and Ronnie Cuber, swings with remarkable ease. Naturally, they tackle "Tipitina," "Such a Night," and "Right Place, Wrong Time." However, the real revelations come from lesser-known material: the loose, joyous funk of "Wild Honey," a touching version of "My Buddy," and an unlikely but effective "spiritual medley" that opens with a Mardi Gras-parade version of "Down by the Riverside" and closes on the black gospel jive of "I Shall Not Be Moved." Satisfying from its first note to the close of the eleventh song, Trippin' Live proves that Rebennack can still summon the musical magic of a city as strange and wonderful as any voodoo spirit. --Keith Moerer

CD Reviews

Voice-over kills what should have been a great cd

Paul Gallagher | Worcester, MA United States | 04/30/2004

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The music on this live CD is spectacular, as satisfying as anything Mac has ever recorded. But I'm downgrading this to a 3 stars because of the horrible decision by the producer to have the first minute of every song destroyed by having a superimposed recording of Dr. John verbally giving us his thoughts about the song. The first minute of the actual music as a result remains only a distant fade in the background. And for me, the instrumental introduction of the song, where the doctor is playing his butt off, is often the best. Mac gets an A+ for his efforts; the producer gets an F for his bonehead move."

Absolutely Awesome

Paul Gallagher | 01/05/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A foot-stomping, finger-snapping, ass-kicking blend of New Orleans funk, soul and gumbo. This is one of the good doctor's best - if you like good music with funky beats, you're going to LOVE this album"

If you love the "Doctor", you need to have this one.

Paul Gallagher | 09/11/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For those of us who have had the good fortune to see Dr. John live, we know what we miss when we listen to his studio recordings. With the live recording you get the set-ups about why a song was written, who inspired the song to be written, and just some good time dialogue. If you love this man's style like I do, you need to put this CD in your collection. It just makes you feel reeeeel gooood."
