Now or at any point...

I'm going

1. Tip's

2. Old Howling Wolf

3. Saenger

4. Varsity

5. HOB

6. Mahalia Jackson

7. Grant Street (going old school)

What am I missing?

I hate seeing shows at:

The River Center

Lakefront Arena

New Orleans Arena (wasn't too bad for Clapton, but the Wallflowers sounded awful to me...hate arenas for shows).

Preservation Jazz Hall should be at top

Rock n Bowl should be on there. Beau vs. Boo was pretty legendary

Varsity shouldnt be anywhere close to 4

Blue Moon Saloon in Laffy

Fred's Lounge in Mamou


I'd also like to throw in my Dad's bar Scarlett O's(been closed since the 90s) in Lake Chuck. Had famous acts like SRV, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, and Muddy Waters among others play there in the 70s.

One eyed Jacks too

I hate this venue. Unless 2Pac does a show there I plan to never go back.
