Favorite moment: # events/year? 50+! A favorite. I see zydeco, blues, rock, African juju, umbeqanga. Always come back to the award winning sounds of Terrance Simien. @
Setlist: He brought "Stop That Train" out of retirement. "No Woman, No Cry" was another highlight. The Band's song "The Weight" was quite moving as was Bob's "Just Like a Woman"... and then there was all that zydeco, from "Aye Ye Yai" thru "Cher Catin'" , "Uncle Bud" & "Joe Pete", "Zydeco Boogaloo" and "Zydeco Extravaganza" shouting out the names of Richard's Club, Slim's Y-Ki-Ki, Papa Paul's in Mamou... don't forget The Bamboo! @
I voted for this event via the gas tank. Easton was a 110 mile drive for me from the Phila area. I'm a 25 year fan of Terrance's, and he wasn't playing anywhere closer to home. Took the day off work, hit the road and was enriched by the whole dang thang. I've seen this band many times since the mid '80's and they always deliver! They mixed it up to satisfy newcomers, hardcore zydeco fans and everyone in between! And what other zydeco band would play "Franklin's Tower/Roll Away the Dew"? Terrance's rapport with the audience was down home & warm. Jose excelled on guitar, Danny's keyboards and assorted weird sounds were too cool, Ralph played frattoire extroardinaire, and who can deny Keith (One Love) Sonnier is one of the best drummers in the sport? I was totally satisfied by this show and looking forward to the next one
