Back in 1978, a funkified concoction called fishhead music percolated from New Orleans juke joints, served up in heaping three-set helpings by a chops-seasoned band of misfits called the Radiators. Straight from the musical New Orleans wetlands, the sound became a slippery rizzum that snakes through your backbone like a water moccasin with a two-guitar attack that would rip your head off. Their marathon live sets mined a songbook crafted from an amalgam of New Orleans rock and roll, RandB, swamp pop, psychedelia and hoodoo, writing the book for today's jam bands and roots rockers. Now they're still careening down the blue highways and back alleyways of American music, pouting that magical elixir of fishhead music for veterans and new generations of fans alike. If these guys don't make you move, check your pulse! Special appearances by Gregg Allman, George Porter, Jr. (Meters), Maceo Parker and Karl Denson. Shot at world-famous Tipitina's.
