:: DR. JOHN TO RESURRECT THE NIGHT TRIPPER AT BONNAROO ::
We are proud to announce a very special late night performance. Dr. John will resurrect his Night Tripper persona for the first time in over three decades for his performance at Bonnaroo. Dr. John is universally celebrated as the living embodiment of the rich musical heritage exclusive to New Orleans. In the '60s, he developed the charismatic persona of Dr. John The Night Tripper. Adorned with voodoo charms and regalia, a legend was born with his breakthrough 1968 album Gris-gris, which established his unique blend of voodoo mysticism, funk, rhythm & blues, psychedelic rock, and Creole roots. The Night Tripper phase of Dr. John's career, featuring his unique fusion of Mardi Gras jubilation and spiritual mysticism marked, altered and broadened the scope of popular music forever.
This special performance will be part of a New Orleans themed event that will also include Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk which features an all-star cast of some of the city's finest musicians. The Rebirth Brass Band will also join in, lending their celebratory brass band sound to what will be an unforgettable night.
seriously... Dr. John as the Night Tripper for the first time in over 30 years... even if you don't know who he is, I urge everyone to at least check it out... this is stuff of bonnaroo legend.
Right, this isn't an addition. It's an elaboration. But that's OK, AC/Superfly wan't calling this an addition. Dr. John was already on the bill; this is just taking it to a new level.
This Dr John announcment has me wetting my pants, I think this show has a chance of topping herbie which was the best show at roo last year, and the best show ive been too.
People who dont know Dr John better learn, this guy is a music legand. With him and Buddy Guy and Bill Frisell its like your at a jazz festival only with a better atmosphere.
I hope people recognize how historic this will be by bringing the night tripper out, I have tixs to see Dr John and Wynton marsalis at tanglewood, but it wont be the night tripper!!!

what are you saying?
I just think that they wouldnt schedule two extra-musical shows at once. i think they'd limit the super-spectacle latenite performances to one per night, and personally friday night is packed enough for my tastes. I kinda wanna check out MMJ for the first time, and i need to see at least 2/3 of umph mcBisco, and with the slight possibility of O-head that night.......

So does anyone actually know what the night tripper performance is going to entail? what stunning effects or mind blowing antics is Dr. John going to be bringing to the stage?
