One week ago, we had no clue what reCAPTCHA meant, but after tickets for Phish’s comeback shows at Hampton went onsale via Ticketmaster on Saturday morning we all learned how important that word was to our chances of scoring tickets.

In a legendary square in the heart of New Orleans where over a century ago countless men fell in duels under the live oaks that still stand, last Thursday night’s show with Bonerama (BNR) and special guest George Porter Jr. was nothing about dueling and everything about two musical forces of today’s New Orleans coming together for an amazing night of musical celebration in a city that appreciates life just a bit more these days.
