Neville Brothers' triumphant return, Raconteurs rock at Jazz Fest
Posted by Wade Tatangelo on Tue, May 6, 2008 at 8:24 AM
The Neville Brothers’ highly anticipated homecoming performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival proved poignant, celebratory, and spiritual on a gorgeous Sunday. The Nevilles’ closing day appearance marked another important return to normalcy for the slowly but steadily rebuilding Crescent City. Natives of the Uptown neighborhood, The Nevilles’ meld second line funk, soul, gospel and rhumba to create the ultimate Big Easy music experience, something the siblings had done during the final day of Jazz Fest for years. Then Katrina displaced the family and star frontman Aaron Neville feared all the dust and mold in the city would exasperate his asthma, preventing him from returning to perform much to the chagrin of the persevering locals and Jazz Fest regulars. All was made right, though, Sunday. The Nevilles performed on the main Acura Stage in front of a grateful crowd that ranged in age from small children and their parents to college students.
The famed sibling group inspired dancing and embracing with New Orleans anthems like “Iko, Iko,†“Fire on the Bayou†and “Tipitna.†Aaron sang a gripping version of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come†that spoke to the mistreatment the New Orleans people faced in the aftermath of Katrina while at the same time promising better days ahead. It was a hymn of hope that captured the feeling many must have felt just from seeing the Nevilles back on stage.

During their set, the Lee Boys' pedal steel guitarist Roosevelt Collier stopped by before his HOB gig and whipped out his cell phone to take some pics. Here's a clip of them doing their original "Whiskey on the Weekend."

A young boy and his dad went out fishing one fine morning. After a few quiet hours out in the boat, the boy became curious about the world around him. He looked up at his dad and asked "How do fish breath under water?"His dad thought about it for a moment, then replied, "I really don't know, son."The boy sat quietly from another moment, then turned back to his dad and asked, "How does our boat float on the water?"Nnce again his dad replied, "Don’t know, son."Pondering his thoughts again, a short while later, the boy asks "Why is the sky blue?"Again, his dad replied. "Don’t know, son."The inquisitive boy, worried he was annoying his father, asks this time "Dad, do you mind that I'm asking you all of these questions?""Of course not son." replied his dad, "How else are you ever going to learn anything?"
