Here's the amazingly drawn out sing-a-long version of "I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die" that They subjected their audience to in the late eighties. It included big cue cards with the lyrics, as shown above. The photo is from a different 1988 show, but you get the idea.

The recording, which I believe was a radio broadcast is five minutes of unbridled chaos as the Johns force the crowd to sing the refrain over and over and over again, all the while taunting them for doing a bad job. It's just the best. 🙌

No better venue than Tipitinas’s for me to see live music for the first time since January of last year. Good luck getting me to forget Big Sam and the Fucky Nation’s set tonight

Right now I should be onstage at this joint saying some smooth patter like “This next act, man, I have seen some of the greatest shows of my life with him on bass at this place Please give it up in true Instruments A comin’ style to George Porter Jr.!” Or something like that. Or on the sidewalk inducting Cyril Neville into the #tipitinas Walk of Fame. Every Monday between JaZzfest weekend I have been here since 1993. I’m the only one here now, but mark my words, I won’t be the only one here next year. You can bet the Cadillac on that. https://www.instagram.com/p/COJ4b1TlnYy/?igshid=1wmi5vz09wqxq
