**MP3 samples included in the Comments section**


This one goes out to all of you fans of New Orleans and its music.

My buddy Sammy recently provided me with this red-hot, vintage performance of The Meters. Although I'm not completely sure of the exact lineage (it came to me via CDR), it certainly sounds like a soundboard. Or at least soundboard-quality. Please check the mp3 samples and let your ears be the judge.

There's really nice versions of "Love The One You're With" and "People Get Ready" here, but the highlight just may be the nearly 12-minute version of "Ain't No Use".



If you like/appreciate this show, won't you please take a moment to post a comment? Enjoy the show!

Lineage: SBD(?) > ? > CDR > AudioCrusher > WAV > Nero (slight fades) > FLAC Frontend > FLAC

A small word of caution: There's some very minimal "noise" present on some of the tracks at the end of the show, but I doubt very much it will affect your enjoyment of this fine performance. And let's not forget that this performance IS over 30 years old, so all things considered, the quality is outstanding!
