Friday Jam: Such a Night-The Band and Dr. John
You all know the doctor — Dr. John, Mac Rebennack?
My triptophan-induced hangover made me nearly forget it was Friday. But here we are, still with an hour left in the day and me still to decide on my Friday Jam for this week.
And so in honor of Thanksgiving, I give you a clip from my favorite Thanksgiving movie and the greatest concert movie of all time "The Last Waltz," the alleged last concert of The Band. (It wasn't.)
It just so happens the concert took place on Nov. 26, 1976 — 40 years ago tonight.
Choosing a favorite track from the movie is impossible for me. It changes day by day. So I just chose the first one that came to mind. I present you with "Such a Night," The Band featuring Dr. John.
Said thankfulness to the band and all the fellas.
If I don't do it somebody else will.
Happy day after Thanksgiving, ya'll. And if you've never seen this movie, go watch it soon.
