Nice addition for the Saturday night of the 2nd weekend of NOLA Jazzfest:

Ryan Adams has partnered with producer Don Was to perform the Rolling Stones' 'Exile on Main St.' in its entirety in New Orleans.

Ryan Adams announced he will perform the Rolling Stones' 1972 album Exile on Main St. in its entirety at a special tribute concert at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans on May 5th.

For the event, called "Exile on Bourbon St.," Adams partners with longtime Rolling Stones producer, Don Was, who will serve as music director. The concert will boast an array of all-star New Orleans musicians. A complete lineup has yet to be announced.

"I've listened to all the multi-track tapes from the Exile period and it's not hyperbolic to say that this is probably the greatest rock 'n roll ever recorded," said Was, who re-mixed Exile for its 2010 reissue. "I can't wait to dig deep into these songs with The Mighty Ryan Adams and this incredible group of musicians."
Tickets for "Exile on Bourbon St." go on sale April 2nd at 10 a.m. CT via LiveNation. Tickets can also be purchased by phone or at the Saenger Theatre box office. Complete concert details are available on the "Exile on Bourbon St." website.
Blackbird Presents, the production company behind "Exile on Bourbon St.," has produced several similar tribute concerts over the past few years. Previous gigs have honored Little Feat's 1977 live record, Waiting for Columbus, and the Band's famed final concert, The Last Waltz, while other shows have paid tribute to artists like Dr. John and the Neville Brothers.

Yes, as did the Rolling Stones.

The Rolling Stones have never played this entire album live, to my knowledge.

Cool. One of these years i'll make it to jazz fest. 

Was is way off. It's not even the best Stones Album, never mind the best rock album ever. 

Actually, he’s right. 

Exile On Main Street is the Stones best album and one of the greatest albums ever. 

That should be good. I enjoyed some of phish's rendition of that album. A couple of weeks ago, I walked into our local record shop and thumbed through the new arrivals bin. I happened to come across Exile in near mint condition. I snatched that shit up immediately. 22$ for a legendary lp is a hell of a good price. 

Did it have the 12 postcards in one unperforated sheet, Ned?  Standard gatefold or pocket gatefold?  

It’s a double LP to boot 

It had the 12 postcards, unperforated, with a pocket gatefold. I don't think it's an original pressing, but it's definitely a pressing from 1972 based on the run out information. I keep trying to play it sparingly, but it's so damn good.

zoners?

I heard it was good except they played “Happy” and “Rip this Joint” slow which seems stupid. 

Where's the audio?
