We’re fresh off a week in New Orleans, including four days of Jazz Fest, so it seems like a good time to update this thing.

The rara avis here is the Meters, who have been on my target list for decades. It does come with an asterisk, as with the passing of Art Neville, I still haven’t seen and never will see the four original Meters. In this configuration he was replaced by his son Ivan and brother Cyril, and it was billed as the Meters, so I’m going to count it.

Looking over this I realize that many of these shows are very foggy in my mind, and some are complete blanks. But I’m not going to start paring the list; it’s all in there somewhere.
