Living The Meter Men
by Richard Gehr
Three-quarters of original New Orleans funk legends the Meters are about all you’ll experience in this lifetime. And so an opportunity to see Zigaboo Modeliste (drums), Leo Nocentelli (guitar), and George Porter Jr. (bass) kick out infinitely sampled tracks such as “Cissy Strut,” “Look-Ka Py Py,” and “Chicken Strut”—with more-than-adequately funky Phish keyboardist-vocalist Page McConnell replacing Art Neville—should not be shrugged off lightly. With the Main Squeeze and DJ Cochon de Lait.
