Dr. John’s New Orleans Swamp: 1974 Television Special with The Meters

The Night Tripper introducing The Meters. An occasion which begs the question, could things really get any funkier? Nuh-uh.

Whoever had the stones to make this happen deserves doubloons aplenty, along with an extra slice of king cake.
