    Dr. John and Lower 911 + Allen Toussaint

    by MusicMaster202 on 3/21/13Town Hall - New York

    The show began with Allen Toussaint. He was terrific. He's such a great pianist and it was fun to hear him play and sing. Dr. John was great, too. He had a cool band, including his music director/trombonist Sarah Morrow. Dr. John and Allen Toussaint played a couple of numbers together at the end which was wonderful. A fun gig to experience!

    The Dr. is in!

    by RJS420 on 3/19/13Town Hall - New York

    Great show. His voice is just how you want it to sound. It wasn't the Lower 911. Pretty sure it was the Nitetrippers, but I could be wrong.

    The Crescent City sparkled on 43rd street in NYC

    by Sengye on 3/19/13Town Hall - New York

    To renown disciples of Professor Longhair, held court at Town Hall. Dr. John and Allen Toussaint. Piles of Grammys and awards between them as well as having played on Rock and Pop royalty's records over the past four decades. It was a distinct privilege to see these two living legends play together and to hear the difference in their styles. Dr. John brought us the swamp and the golden splinters with his Gres-Gres magic and Toussaint filled his consumate playing with waterfalls.Both with massive bodies of work from which to choose, presented the audience with the wonder that once was in Nola and preserved the magical lineage of New Orleans music. Dr. John has a new band, ,the Nite Trippers with a female band leader, Sarah Morrow who plays the slush-pump. The encore, head to head grand pianos playing with each other was memorable.

    A Slice of New Orleans in New York

    by IvyIvy on 3/18/13Town Hall - New York

    Wonderful opportunity to see two musical giants perform at historic Town Hall too bad the sound was muffled. Toussaint and John gave fine performances yet the sound was muted. It was difficult to hear Sarah Morrow, the band leader on trombone or Kevin Turner's guitar. We had orchestra seats just at the edge of the balcony overhang. The imbalance seemed to subdue the performance. I've been to other concerts at Town Hall and do not remember any problems with the acoustics.

    Experience Legends

    by Skylane1 on 3/18/13Town Hall - New York

    A concert of classic New Orleans music. Dr. John is Dr. John, a unique musical lgegend. The surprise was Allen Toussaint. He;s more famous as a wroter, producer and arranger of classic songs. But he is also a fantastic piano player. He did medleys of his songs, music of different types and even a bar or two of classical music, all seamlessly blended effortlessly!

    Dreadful sound mix ruined this show

    by Velta on 3/18/13Town Hall - New York

    We could not hear Dr. John -- either his vocals or keyboards -- or any of the other band members except the drummer, because the sound mix was so unbalanced, the drums drowned out everything else. This was true throughout the show, from start to finish, except for a couple of rare and brief moments when Dr. John or the other players solo'ed. Our party of five at the concert (including three accomplished musicians) all agreed about the very poor audio engineering. So frustrating! What a shame. I don't think it's a matter of poor acoustics at Town Hall, as we've heard other musicians there, such as Neil Finn some years ago, who sounded great.

    Ok, but not what you expect from The Good Dr

    by KhNy on 3/18/13Town Hall - New York

    Accoustics were just ok, seemed like mic levels were not consistent. Band didn't seem to be in the groove. Allen Toussant was very good though!

    Sad to Say

    by NYscubagirl on 3/18/13Town Hall - New York

    Let me preface by saying that I have always loved Dr. John and music from New Orleans, a place where I have spent A LOT of time, and I have seen him many times before. That said, this show was a bitter disappointment. The band he was playing with was terrible, the female vocalist and trombone player was particularly talentless... and NO ONE on stage appeared to be enjoying themselves at all. I was so saddened by the evening's events that when I got home I started googling around to see what I could learn and low and behold the very young blond vocalist is his new girlfriend, new music director, and had just fired his entire band - some of whom had been playing with him on and off for years! On a brighter note - Allen Toussaint was spectacular, he only gets better with age.
