re: The Official 2014 New Orleans Jazz Fest thread - Phish takes over NOLA

I was looking to go walk the French quarter Saturday and go to
Jazz fest Sunday. I was hoping Saturday won't be too crowded in the quarters...
Could someone tell me from last experience, is the French quarter ridiculously packed during the day on a jazz fest weekend?
It would seem like everyone would be at the fair grounds.

I think it is safe to assume that, especially during the day.

I'll be out there early and I will post a picture of my flag if you want to come and meet eddie. I won't have any serious drugs to pass out but we can smoke plenty of pots.

I'd love to say hello Eddie. Post that flag here if you can. I'll check it when I arrive.

It is funny what drugs can do. Trey Anastasio played much better jams when he was a user (albeit under control from 93ish to 2000. Obviously he passed threshold and the music suffered big time in '04). Anders, on the other hand, has become prolific since soberity and greatly improved his jamming and overall playing.

What was Anders hooked on? Everything and Anything? Or was it more pills/heroin?

His songs refer to crack and heroin, but in an interview he said that alcohol was the one thing that always got him.
It is great to see him really making a name for himself now. Dude is the man

Yeah, it's a fine line and delicate balance. Clapton and Duane were SLAMMING heroine during the Layla sessions and churned out some unbelievable jams. Then Clapton went too far on the stuff and had to take a hiatus.

Great Anders Article
Osborne's path to substance abuse began at age 13, when he started experimenting with alcohol, hashish and amphetamines. "I was covering up all the emotions that I was supposed to learn and grow into," he recalls.
Years later in New Orleans, he developed a fondness for cooking cocaine as well as heroin. "I went through different waves; sometimes I'd go for uppers, sometimes I'd go for downers," he says. "But the thing that got me every time was alcohol. I used to think I could be cool with it.
"All the terrible stories that come with addiction, I have them. Blacking out, waking up not knowing where my guitar is and I've been running around with no pants on for two days."
Leaving his last stint in rehab (Osborne first attempted sobriety in 1999) he was diagnosed as bipolar and found balance with the help of medication. The bipolar diagnosis "explained a lot," he says, remembering it as a time of extreme anxiety. "I couldn't sleep at all. I'd work like crazy, paint like crazy, doing like two or three paintings a day. Manic stuff."
Osborne emerged from rehab sporting a wildly bushy beard and greying hair past his shoulders. "I think it's a very spiritual thing to let everything grow," he says. "My wife complained about it, but it was just that I had to let something grow. My hair, my beard — it was like my protective shield."
Osborne rechanneled his considerable energy into creating louder, heavier music, largely leaving behind the New Orleans-style R&B that marked many of his years, especially in his long-running trio with saxophonist Tim Green and sousaphonist Kirk Joseph, whom he counts among his closest friends. "A lot of that stuff sounded like what it was — a white boy backed by a couple of black guys," he says. "It was missing the Bob Dylan link, the Joni Mitchell link, the Black Sabbath link. I had to get back to who I was originally. Getting all R&B sweet and cute — that's not how I started out.
"Something just clicked and it suddenly felt natural to just play the f—k out of my guitar," he says. "I felt like I had rediscovered my childhood, like I was 13, 14 years old."

I like the junkie stuff better, but he is definitely more popular now.

His songwriting was still great during those years but I much prefer the sound of the rock trio of the past few years over the sousaphone stuff.
Funny thing is that Anders and Phish both played Jazz Fest 1996. Both have come a long way to close out the Fest on the opening Saturday.
