I was at the Fest and can confidently say that Billy and Mickey were not present. Bobby joined Phil and Friends on stage for the second half of Phil's set. Tunes included Music, Cassidy, Liberty and Help>Slipknot>Franklin's. It was really cool.
Bob was a busy man that Sunday sharing the stage with Brian Stoltz' band before his Ratdog set, playing his Ratdog set with a fantastic horn section including the great, young trumpeter Irvin Mayfield, then joining P&F and later that night hopping on stage with the funky Meters at the Orpheum. Brian Stoltz also played the entire second set with Bob during his Ratdog show at the Howlin Wolf the previous night. (Brian is the current lead guitar player for the funky Meters for anyone wondering). For me, after 6 years of a gumbo of Jazzfest sets of all genres, shapes and sizes, it was kind of fun to get a slew of Dead music added this year! Kudos to deadlists...keep on growing! sk >> Date: Thu, 23 May 2002 23:52:58 -0500 From: John Andrew Prime <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Music since Jerry's death question The AP here in Louisiana wrote a short piece, with a photo, about Phil and Bobby, Billy and Mickey playing together at the NO Jazz & Heritage Festival as the Otehr Ones and said this was the first time since Jerry's death they'd all played on one stage together. Is that true or in error?
