After being on the road for over 33 years, played in all 50 states, Europe and exotic locations like The Bahamas and Jamaica, what do you do for your final 3 concerts? The answer was easy for The Radiators, the venerable New Orleans band who finally decided to call it quits after all those years. Have a 3 night party at world famous Tipitinas in New Orleans, the seminal club that helped establish the legendary band. Now before we get into the details of these historic shows you need to know a couple of facts about the band. While there are some bands who might claim that they ve been together longer, no band can match The Radiators for keeping the same, original lineup together for 33+ years. You read that right, the same 5 guys touring and recording together for that length of time without killing each other! The Rads were known for marathon live shows, great original tunes, and eclectic cover versions of some well known (and not so well known) songs. They never played the same show twice and if you were fortunate enough to catch the band on 2, 3 or even 4 nights in a row you know that you d see a completely different show each night. These 3 CDs represent the best of each of the final 3 shows at Tips. The first night was an all acoustic affair mixing Rads originals with covers by Bob Dylan and Jesse Winchester. The last two discs represent a band on a mission, to go out in style and leave nothing on the table. The songs cover the entire 33 year career of the band and include fan favorites and a couple of lesser known Rad s gems. Altogether the set includes over 3 1 2 hours of gritty down home Nawlins rock n roll that shows just how versatile.
