Meters :: Live @ The Showboat Lounge 1977

In contiuuing with the string of New Orleans related posts until Mardi Gras, here is a Meters show from 1977 I posted on last January as part of the original Live Upload Series. Look for another Meters live feature in next few weeks recorded at The Bottomline in the late seventies.

Nobody..and I mean nobody funked it up like The Meters did in their prime. Shit-hot grooves. I have collected a number of shows from the band's '70s hey-day, and this is one of my favorites. It is culled from a 1977 New Orleans Live radio broadcast complete with a smokey-voiced DJ popping in and out during the duration of the show.

Great banter from the band too. Several times throughout the show Art Neville speaks directly to the greater New Orleans radio audience, telling them to get with it and come on down to the show. The beginning of "People Say" is particularly nasty.
