Tipitina’s is home court for working musicians, and the room feels it. LBJ sets the table, Derrick and Nigel bring the friendly chaos, and the Shadow Band turns the stage lights into a living room. What follows is pure New Orleans: road stories and weather jokes, a tender moment about fathers and sobriety, and the reminder that music is the family business even when life gets heavy.Ivan Neville drops in straight from the bus to talk about the unglamorous glamour of touring, comfort TV between soundcheck and downbeat, and what it was like to be stuck abroad as Katrina unfolded while the city held its breath. Whistle Monster barrels onstage to argue Saints quarterback hopes and to test the decibel ceiling, because of course he does. HW wanders in for some surreal backstage color. Danny Abel closes things out with local news, shout-outs, and love for the crew that keeps this circus rolling.It is a live taping in an iconic room, with musicians who know the room well. If you are new here, this is the show: laughter, truth, and the stories behind the songs.#Timitinas #NewOrleans #ShadowPeoplePodcast #IvanNeville #WhistleMonster #LBJ #Dumpstaphunk #NOLAMusic #LivePodcast #MusicianLifeTimestamps (chapters):00:00 Cold open, LBJ warms up the room00:29 LBJ intro, first live taping at Tipitina’s02:27 Derrick and Nigel welcome, the origin story and thank-yous05:57 Sponsor shout and Shadow Band intro07:15 Travel, weather, and NOLA in August11:04 Nigel on family, sobriety, and perspective18:22 Band break, LBJ back on the mic19:02 Guest intro: Ivan Neville20:30 Bus-tour life, rest on the road23:02 Side trip with the Dead family show24:49 Marathon travel day, still playing the gig25:56 Sleeping in transit, the art of the pre-show nap27:10 Comfort shows: The Sopranos and The Godfather29:10 Katrina week memories, stuck in Brazil together33:36 Post-storm touring, Saints in Baton Rouge34:44 Surprise guest: Whistle Monster enters41:00 Quarterback talk, Saints therapy session50:02 Zen of fandom and keeping perspective52:18 Surprise guest no. 2: HW appears56:26 HW’s snack saga and backstage weirdness1:00:11 After HW, reset and housekeeping1:01:14 Guinness whistle PSA1:02:08 The whistle1:02:14 Bring up DA Danny Abel1:05:05 Shout-outs to friends and supporters1:06:00 Summer at Tips, Rick James tribute story1:10:43 Closing thanks1:11:20 Sign-off and where to subscribe
