Great information, trots, thank you!

I clearly recall (on that late Friday night in November of '73) recording the concert via the radio simulcast, and I have managed to hold onto the 40+ year-old cassette tape through these many years and many life's changes.

A vivid visual memory of the program is of a bemused Cat (cigarette in hand) watching Dr. John's performance from a stage wing.

Still wishing that this classic would be commercially released (a wish we have all held for, yes, these past 40+ years!).

Bud - I watched it "live" back in 1973 as well and I remember Cat's reaction as well. From what I recall Dr. John had on an elaborate "New Orleans" type costume and I liked Cat's reaction to it. It was similar to this one:

Hi Trots,

Yes, you are right on the mark (and thank you so much for locating the photo of Dr. John in full regalia and in all his colorful glory!).

It's funny how certain little moments and images stay with you and so, yes, if I close my eyes, I can yet see "The Cat", from the stage wing and with lit cigarette in hand, smiling broadly (nearly chuckling, actually) as he watched Dr. John perform as only Dr. J can.

Many thanks for sharing your remembrance (and for confirming mine!).

-Bud
