After their split in the late 70s the Meters reformed a number of times with some or all original members present. This clip of "Welcome To New Orleans" is from their May 1980 show at The Saenger Theatre in New Orleans.

And the second post today is Irma Thomas (who turns 84 next month) teaming up with fellow New Orleanians Galactic for the fantastic new "Lady Liberty", a song that addresses social injustice and the ongoing issues of racial violence.

Irma Thomas is a force of nature, and a living legend. The first clip today is a performance on American Bandstand in 1964. She sings Anyone Who Knows What Love Is, a song that has reached a second life through series like Black Mirror, Big Little Lies and Watchmen.

The Meters in 1974 at Dr. John's New Orleans Swamp tv special, performing Look-Ka Py Py and Jungle Man. With so little footage of the original Meters this is a rare example of the legendary New Orleans funk group.

Finally on vinyl double LP. The fantastic Live Plus One from the mighty ALL. And the Plus One stands for a live recording of The Descendents.
