Report on the Time in New Orleans

Went and Saw Morris and the Boys for the tenth time on September 24, 1999 at
Tipatina's in New Orleans. We got there about 8:30 p.m. The doors opened around
9 p.m. and we promptly headed to the front and got our traditional spot between
Morris and toreys mic. I hit the bathroom while my wife saved our spots up
front. There happened to be a poster in the bathroom that for some strange
reason disappeared when i left the restroom : )



The opening band came on around 10 p.m. It was some Brass band and they were
OK, but I was there to see the Time so I didn't pay them much attention( well
untill the one dude who was like 80 years old started getting down LOL)



The Time hit the stage around 11:30 p.m. and as always it was great. Here's the
setlist with my ever insiteful comments : )



1. Guitar Intro- kind of twanging tonight, sort of a heavy metal country

2. The Oak Tree- Morris was in this red suit and looking too COOL

3. Jerk out- Jerome was doing that damn 80's robot/mime thing and then he
moonwalked, too funny

4. Get it Up- a highlight as usual, needs to follow the intro though

5. Cool- the title says it all

6. 777-9311- they ripped this one up, Torey was in the zone tonight really
shredding. They stopped, Morris talked some shit and then they went back into
it. Morris left the stage and this is where they usually slow it down and play
Girl, but not tonight. he came right back on stage and went into

7. Wild and loose

8. The Stick

9. Blondie- this fucking rules and Morris, Jerome and Torey had the headbanging
going, I thought I was at a damn heavy metal concert. Jerome gave this dude to
the right of me the Mic and let him sing the chorus( ver cool and i was very
jealous) Nice to still see this in the set, but most of the crowd didn't know
it so who knows how much longer it will stay in

10. My Drawers- another favorite, Morris and Jerome were doing the "its
burnin', its burnin' " bit from the end of the skillet after this one

11. Fishnet

12. Gigolos get lonely Too- finally slowed it down, I could have left after My
drawers and been happy tonight, it rare they get this far in before they slow
it down, but they were really rocking tonight and some other cool stuff was
about to happen

13. If the kid can't make you come- they brought a bunch of women on stage to
dance( which is difficult with Tip's small stage). Morris and jerome talked
there shit. Jerome came over to me with his mic and let me sing the chorus( If
the kid can't make you come,nobody, nobody can). Then he tells the crowd "thats
my boy" grabs my hand and then my Wife's

14. Ice Cream Castles

15. The Walk- My Wife's favorite song by them so thats cool that they played
it, they didn't at the last show we saw

16 The Bird- now i'm trying to hide cause i know jerome is coming to get me,
but it didn't work. i was the second one he picked to get on stage. So i'm
right next to Morris of course( he has to point at me for the "white folks your
much to tight" line). i guess i looked like a deer in the headlights cause
jerome kept asking me if I was ok LOL. I tried to fade to the back cause of
course Morris and Jerome are doing there thing and these other guys that got up
there had the moves down, but Jerome wouldn't let me. he come by grabs my arm
and says "were doing the chili sause" so we slide and i can die right now I did
the frigging chili sause with morris and jerome : ) We all took a bow and
jerome told me he was glad we made it : )
Morris had left the stage



Encore



17. Jungle Love- really rocked and the just kept playing and i actually thought
they might do another song, but that was it. Jerome was saying all kinds of
crap after Morris left, but the band was so loud you could barely hear what he
was saying, but he did say that they had a NEW ALBUM and it would be out in
THREE MONTHS. Who knows if it will actually happen, but thats the first time
I've actually heard them say anything about this on stage so maybe its finally
going to happen



We hung out for awhile to see if Jerome was going to come out, but he didn't.
Torey and Freeze came out. We talked to torey a little bit and basically stayed
till they closed. Another great show. if you ever get a chance to see these
guys, GO
you won't regret it
