Dr John- Iko Iko

[@getgs]

I'm glad a few people have found it. I was a co-producer and director on the show and enjoyed every minute.

[@PeterMcCartt]

When was this recorded and is that also Billy Preston on the keys?

[@cesarprieto2983]

@@PeterMcCartt I think in 1989. Yes, Billy Preston is on the keys!

[@PeterMcCartt]

@@cesarprieto2983 Thanks Cesar, it is awesome.

[@kimrivers8605]

Excellent 🎉❤💃

[@kimrivers8605]

​@@PeterMcCarttYes that is Billy Preston among others 💃

[@ladivina79]

Not even the good Doctor can resist shaking his ass to a Rick Danko bassline! This video rules on so many levels.

[@kimrivers8605]

Yes I agree 💯💃

[@HagbardCeline42]

RIP Dr. John now. Love this song so much.

[@joshuaswanson1977]

Hard to believe that 5 of those musicians are no longer with us...

[@janishaldeman3339]

Dr John...what a wizard musically, magically, spiritually. I am entertained.

[@getgs]

I worked with many great musicians in my career and I appreciate all the comments this video receives. It was among my favorites in particular because of Mac and Rick Danko's performance. It never fails to get me moving.

[@thomas-wj9kt]

I met both Rick and Mac. They were great musicians and people.

[@kimrivers8605]

ME Too 💃😁

[@Americanasam1994]

Amazing that Preston, Levon, Rick, The Big Man and now Dr John are no longer with us. Crazy talent on that stage that's quickly disappearing.

[@neilangus4401]

Sam St. John Yes it's horrific that the real talent up to date is fading away What are left with , well you can all see

[@alaneisenberg1438]

I was lucky enough to have brought the complete concert on DVD. The good doctor here is in great form playing this classic with a stage full of legends. This band is really the best of all Ringo's all star bands.

[@manni62]

this was Ringo's best all-star band. hands down!! wish I was there.

[@BruceMagee]

The headdress is because the song is about Mardi Gras Indians, who are the opposite of minstrels. Their motto, "We won't bow down," is a shout of defiance against the forces arrayed against them.

[@moboden9764]

Holy cow! You're the second luckiest guy on the planet. I can't imagine directing this. Out fuc*ing standing. Talk about a night of a thousand stars.... This is just awesome. Thx for sharing. I'm .. I'm... stuttering here. Great video.

[@steveokula847]

I never saw Dr John dance before.

[@RogerSteinbrinkh2oBrother]

The best ambassador for NOLA's music since Louis Armstrong.

[@RogerSteinbrinkh2oBrother]

...and look out for "Trombone Shorty" (Troy Andrews). Whew! He tore it up with Jeff Beck two years ago at NOLA Jazz Fest, and recently at Voodoo Fest NOLA with Foo Fighters. He's going to be playing withe the FOOs 4th of July in D.C.

[@irish6364]

+Roger Steinbrink Hey man if you like our music down here in the swamp check out the Neville Brothers and now their sons and nephews have a band called Dumpstaphunk, Kermit Ruffins, Trombone Shorty, Alan Toussian... they all gods down here new orleans royalty. Come down to our Sweet Ole' Crescent City anytime! NOLA Till I Die!!!!!

[@RogerSteinbrinkh2oBrother]

Thanks for the invite. I live on Bayou St. John. Sad day when Allen passed away the other day. He will be greatly missed. Not only an incredible musician, but a true Gentleman.

[@navy3891]

+Roger Steinbrink Bayou st john is beautiful man! I live in the cbd now i grew up out in the 3rd ward in Lakeview. Yea he was! I had the pleasure if meeting Alan one night when he played with Mac (dr john) uptown at Tipitiana's, we met em both. I grew up with Art Neville's yougest son Ian and he was able to get us backstage to see him. They were great that night!

[@RogerSteinbrinkh2oBrother]

Yeah, God Bless them all! I've never seen a bad show from any of our great, local legends. Met Mr. Allen at the Parkway Bakery one day. What a nice, down-to-earth Gentleman. Always a smile, and a good word for everybody. Sigh... reminds me of our good friend Coco who passed away right around this time not too many years ago.

[@SunSound7]

Dr. John rocking out. Levon, Ringo and Jim Keltner. Wow. Drum groove heaven.

[@cleophusjames9568]

[@sunny420canada8]

R.I.P Dr. John you're music will live on , He was also a student of Professor Long Hair Genius's Of New Orleans Piano. He even made some Music Lessons with Home Spun Tapes I have a few , Cheers From Canada.

[@prodmuse-ic]

deep, the easter eggs / nods to acknowledgment of the Voodoo side, from Yoruba via Haiti to New Orleans when the ferry from Haiti brought the jazz musicians to and fro... that voodoo headdress that is... carnival etc. but no... and then the Santana-esque guitarist alluding to black magic woman and the Yoruban influence on Puerto Rico and thus Santana.... and then the Sax, acknowledging the Blues Brothers and chicago blues etc. mixed with sax, the New York sound.... you accentuated the best of what Dr. John's music was the culmination of... this is like watching a Tarantino film in the form of music production.... kudos....

[@gogoyubari366]

I was there. God bless Dr. John.

[@getgs]

Thanks for the comment. When I first posted the video I didn't realize the reach of youtube and the number of real music lovers. It's been great.

[@sauquoit13456]

R.I.P. Dr. John, born Malcolm John Rebennack, {November 20th,1941 - June 6th, 2019}... Between 1972 and 1974 the New Orleans native had four records on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, one made the Top 10, "Right Place Wrong Time", it peaked at #9 {for 2 weeks} on June 24th, 1973 and spent twenty weeks on the Top 100... His three other Top 100 records were "Iko Iko" {#71 in 1972}, "Such A Night {#42 in 1973}, and "(Everybody Wanna Get Rich) Rite Away" {#92 in 1974}...

[@adstow]

This just make me want to jump on a plane and fly to New Orleans! Absolutely love it :-)

[@sianchetty1361]

I'll come!

[@cindyk8892]

I know what you mean. Miss my siblings there.

[@GiDD504]

Man this. Rings me back. I’m so grateful to be from New Orleans. This was always playing when my family get together. Let it be for crawfish boils, Christmas, or just a birthday. It reminds me of the good times and family. My parraine and marraine would always act out the part of them on the bayou 😂

[@boballen9835]

Don't Forget Billy Preston on keyboards as well!

[@boballen9835]

Yep. The only man to play with the Beatles and Stones

[@lastkayleeuw6706]

[@MLeiss]

"We've forgotten Billy Preston!" George Harrison

[@thinkandbefree9398]

@@lastkayleeuw6706 - Two giants to be sure, and I'll personally always give the edge to the Beatles, but the Stones were great song writers, had chops - and don't forget the swagger!

[@subg8858]

Nicky Hopkins played with both as well

[@HagbardCeline42]

There is so much awesome in this video I find myself re-watching it all the time. The three-drummer attack, Danko in great health, Billy Preston, Joe Walsh...I could go on and on.

[@TheCyanideSandwich]

So much talent on that stage. This is incredible!

“All star” doesn’t even begin to describe them.

Doesn't get much better than this.

[@getgs]

I never get tired of this.

[@cdnpicker]

I watched this with mixed emotions. Fantastic version of New Orleans classic, but it's tough to watch knowing that we've lost about half of the incredible talents on that stage. Levon, Danko, Preston, Clemons have all left us.

[@migueldospachangas7716]

I concur, halfheartedly of course, and the Dr. is gettin' old, too.

[@sianchetty1361]

Steve, I know how you feel and I truly hope that the Doctor, Ringo, Joe and the boys stay with us for as long as possible, I'm praying hard and long to keep them with us.xx

[@MrWoodyanders]

Now Dr. John, too.

[@chastitymelissa4130]

Bill and Mike. This is one of my favorites ❤

[@getgs]

Glad Jim Keltner was noticed. To me, a giant drummer and nice guy.

[@jimpalmer2981]

He really should have been recognized as the Sixth Wilbury.

[@skontch1]

I saw this iteration when they came to Long Island. Truly a spectacular show. I love "the band", so seeing Levon, Rick, and Garth was an added bonus. The version that this group of all-stars did of "the weight" was amazing. I remember "the big man" brought the house down when he took a solo. A memorable night for sure...😎

[@maggieb9597]

RIP Dr. John. You were truly unique.

[@spearchamp]

My girlfriend and I were up one night and heard the good Dr. pumping this out on KXT in Dalas. The next day I had to listen to it and am so happy that this version is out there. Very bittersweet to see Rick, Levon, and Clarence kicking ass on their respective axes. Thank you for posting.
