This year's festivities got started off with a short set from the Colin Lake Duo. Given that the house was still pretty loose, and that Colin peppered his set with a familiar bunch of covers, this made for a nice way to get folks swaying and dancing. In case you're wondering, _I Am the Light of the World_ is not quite the same as the Reverend Gary Davis tune popularized by Jorma Kaukonen -- the words (and music) were just a leetle bit deeferent. I didn't find any plausible alternates while poking around on the intertubes, so I'm just gonna assume Colin learned it by folk-hand-me-down fashion from someone who knew the same underlying tune as Gary Davis dressed up and copyrighted in the early 1960's. The title above is taken from sneaking a peak at the setlist on the floor in front of Myles (without that, I would have "this"-d it, like Gary Davis done). By the end of the set, the crowd had gotten a little rowdy, but Colin managed the situation with grace -- I'd definitely go see him again if I get the chance! Soon enough it's 11:11 PM and the boys are stoking the engine good! As best as I can tell, the band is rolling through the music of Blind WIllie Johnson's _Everybody Ought to Treat a Stranger Right_, but Zeke is singing the lyrics to Bob Dylan's _Highway 61_. Hell yeah! They're trying to blow our minds, right here at the start of the weekend! The rest of the show is solidly played. Hard to imagine that these guy's haven't been playing together regularly, but I guess the psychic connection from thirty years of playing together can withstand a few year's vacation! Jon Hart ran a multitrack recording; sooner or later, their part of the show will be available for purchase from [Live Downloads](http://www.livedownloads.com/live-music/3,4/The-Radiators-mp3-flac-downloads.html). Do it! You'll be glad you did! {{tag>music The_New_Orleans_Radiators Tipitina's Camile_Baudoin Frank_Bua,_Jr. Dave_Malone Reggie_Scanlan Ed_Volker Colin_Lake Myles_Weeks}} [[2017-01-06|Back to the previous event!]] ☸ [[:#section2017|Up to the 2017 yearbox!]] ☸ [[:2017#January_events|Up to the 2017 event list!]] ☸ [[2017-01-13|On to the next event!]]
