re: Opinions on Tipitinas

wonder what it cost back then to have those 4 bands play at your venue in one week?

I just looked it up & Cardi’s was a live rock venue in Houston that closed in the mid 80’s. The lineup for that week is amazing. I wish I could have gone to all of those shows.

That artist has a full line of nostalgia paintings of Houston bars and music venues. I think that image might just be representative of the acts that played there over the years, not necessarily an image of them all playing there in one week.

Cardi's was a stripmall club in the Galleria area of Houston when the Galleria area was still cool. Pretty legendary; even U2 played there before they got huge.

I saw 2or 3 remarkable sets by the reliable Continental Drifters that stand out.

String cheese incident jazzfest show years ago. Walked out to a sunny Sunday morning with people going to church staring at holla hoppers and Norris tanks In the nutral ground

My first Tiptitina’s show started at 3:30 am on April 25 2008. The Disco Biscuits late night Jazz Fest. Walked out of the venue around 7.30 am. Show was hot. Mind = blown...Big night.

The easiest way (by far) for a venue to get a quick thumbs up from me is a giant water cooler and plastic cups.

I was at the Love and Rockets/Jane’s Addiction show, too. Another good one was the invitation only Nine Inch Nails show during the summer of 1991.

Went to that one too.

Used to listen to Meat Beat Manifesto and Consolodated, but can't remember if I went to that show. Over 30 years ago and multiple shows tend to blend and fade.
