New Orleans voodoo funk meets garage rock grit in a one-night-only séance.
Dr. John is joined by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, featured guitarist and producer of the album Locked Down, and the handpicked band featured on the recording, for a one-time-only concert of the co-composed album material - plus some Dr. John favorites - at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's (BAM) Howard Gilman Opera House, filmed on March 31, 2012.
Acting
Dr. John's gravelly showmanship—part shaman, part carnival barker.
Direction
Intimate BAM staging, no arena distance.
Sound
Auerbach's raw guitar slicing through N'awlins brass.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This concert captures the only live performance of the 'Locked Down' album material—the Grammy-winning record was studio-bound until this BAM resurrection.
Dr. John's 'Night Tripper' persona emerged from actual New Orleans hoodoo practices; the gris-gris wasn't just stagecraft.
