My brother, Rick Naiser of Festival Studios was the sound engineer. He did not get credit-but it was the last big project that he had before he died. He had our parents in the audience to witness this.
For a 64 year old man… he is possibly THE sexiest man alive. He can sing, play, dance, act, and is educated and well spoken with humor and grace. Younger men, take note here, we like men like this ❤
It’s February 10, 2024. I’m sitting here completely enraptured. How is this just landing in my CZcams feed 10 YEARS AFTER?!?! To think of all the years I could have been in this Heaven! 😩😭 Hugh, you never cease to entertain, delight, tickle, astound, and absolutely TRANSCEND me! Loveeeee this …and YOU…more than words can describe! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Don’t ever stop! 😃😍🤗👏👏👏
I know the feeling all too well. Here, we were raised on blackadder, jeeves and wooster, house and the like. My crush didnt need this kind of fuel...cause now its just "Gimme smeggin MOAR!!"
I know..... He's totally amazing at everything - what a whizz he is and amusing, entertaining, educational, funny, georgous hilarious ( please note I'm going through the alphabet.... So I will stop at the point which is... This man has everything!!! 👌
This is totally unfair. This man has all the talents: Jazz and Blues and Rock'n roll music, he plays and sings like nobody else. He can do Classical as well. It's nothing but a delight to listen to him. He can be an actor, a story teller a jazz history teller, a tourist guide to take us around in N.O. Have never been there and now it's fairly late so I fully enjoy this session. Thank you so much for posting this.
So great to be there with this atmosphère thks to Hugh and all these guys and all of you included listeners... just great - keep on playing, singing and performing - wish i ' d be there
Hugh is white and I am from another Hemisphere ... What unites us beyond the color of our skin and a whole different universe, showing our soul and giving it a caress ...? Thanks to him and everyone who participated in this beautiful "journey" towards oneself ...
Can this possibly be the same man who brought life to Bertie Wooster and Dr House? A national treasure in the UK along with his old 'Jeeves' partner Stephen Fry. They have so much talent between them that they could shift planets. Thank you, Hugh.
I've been watching Hugh Laurie for decades, and he never fails to impress, and for a Brit, he has the most perfect American accent I've ever seen. He can do almost anything, and never lose the semse of being himself. I think they call this 'multi talented". I call him amazing.
I was kid fresh out of school sent to New Orleans on a job. Got off shift early evening. Found a cab, flipped a 50 and asked to be brought to hear real blues. Drove through swamps to a joint. Told me to stay in car. He was back in about 5 minutes. He took me in. Owner came and brought me to a front table. Stage of magic staring back at me. I gave the lady a 50 and said thank you. The blues cried the night. That was 1983.
You were so lucky to discover this music so young. I was in my 20's living in Houston before I heard true New Orleans jazz, it's stayed with me every since. I hope you have discovered Django Reinhart, Stephane Grappelli and the Hot Club as well, and the Romany Manouche guitarist, Angelo Debarre, also on CZcams - he's unbelievable.
I Had NO idea this guy who, for all I knew played a sarcastic doctor on TV, had all these facets, what a talent . I love New Orleans, been there several times . This was a great tour .
I can’t believe it took eight years for this to come across my CZcams feed, but I’m so glad it did. I have always loved Hugh Laurie. He is the truest gem. ❤️
New Orleans is a country within a country. If someone blindfolded you and dropped you in the Quarter, you would think you were in Europe . Spain, France, Italy. The food isn’t just food. The mood is warm and welcoming. And the MUSIC sways in The Big Easy. Born and raised. I am so glad I came across this.
I'm also from a small city build on a swamp by the Spanish and then the French, filled with Italian heritage as well, not too far from Buenos Aires, Argentina (wich flooded pretty bad a few years ago) The CIA f us pretty bad with the 70s dictatorship but we still has some spirit left! and I'm truly in love with New Orleans, never been out of the country but that's the first place I'll pilgrim to! It's like our most beautiful cousin city!
If I ever get to visit the USA, i will definitely stop by. Love the music, the vibe. Greetings from a longtime Indian fan of Southern rock and blues...
Incredibly blessed to have lived there for 23 years of my life. I feel I got life in me that I wouldn't have had otherwise. Go before it's gone. Nothing like it ever again.
I had no idea Hugh Laurie played piano and loved the blues. My god. I cried all the way through SAINT JAMES INFIRMARY. My god. Great music. Thank you all. Great audio engineering work. Great (rich) photography. Incredible performers. Kudos all.
Well I did know he was talented as a comedian, actor, director, producer, writer, and musician, but the 5 second glimpse of him piloting his plane into Fredericksberg just added a whole new level of respect.
Its the First Octobre 2023 Im 22 years old and I do LOVE everythin directed to Jazz, Blues, Funk and that crazy ass boogie woogie. I got intoduced to Jazz about 6/7 years ago and I love it every since. I see this whole Documentation(?) as a masterpiece and I can feel this deep conection from Huge to Blues so hard that my heart is about to burst. I played about 5y drum (got lessons) now I bought me a Keyboard and am learing blues and boogie woogie since 3 Months. I do make progress but its rough. Really rough. But the FUN is sooooooo much bigger I cant stop- Playing the blues scale up and down to some backing tracks or play the bass notes of a classic boogie woogie is allready so much fun but I think I need a teacher sooner or later. I hope more people my age would like this music as much as I do! Edit: Hugh is so talented its crazy.
Saved this for times when I'm in a funk and need to get my life force circulating. So great that Hugh Laurie has this love and this talent. Thank you for appreciating precious New Orleans!
I had no idea Hugh was this talented, and I have since spent a good deal of time researching his career. Hugh is talented across the whole spectrum of entertainment. Much of his work resides in his homeland, the British Isles. He deserves world wide attention because he is a generational talent. Thank you Mr. Laurie.
Hugh is definitely a ‘ Renaissance Man’ actor, comedian, musician and story teller... and now travel guide. This is a journey I’ve been dreaming of making for so long ... might take a while longer to get there but I will 🙏🤟 love your work Hugh
And arranger. He wrote the arrangements for these songs too. He's kind of like Steve Martin, and others I could name, people who are well known for one particular thing but have amazing talents in so many other fields.
I had the pleasure of seeing The Hugh Laurie Blues Band at The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ, and I got all the way to the stage! I shared a thumbs up with his amazing back-up singer, and it was an amazing night! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
My dad would have loved this. Wish he was still around to enjoy it. Hugh Laurie is a HUGE talent… what an amazing and humble guy!!!🏆🎹🎷🥁🎻🎶🎵👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨💫💫💫
Great music! I'm a 1958 vintage Brit and I love New Orleans music. I'm a sound tech and years ago I mixed a lot of live jazz, folk and other international music but I used to say to friends that often British jazz although high quality had just become too serious, it became an exercise in music just for an elite mainly and other musicians to appreciate rather than a form of musical entertainment. It lost what was fun about jazz. This was particularly noticeable in the 1980s when I lived in London with some famous jazz clubs not even allowing people to stand let alone move or dance. At that time I much preferred mixing visiting bands from America and other places: jazz, blues, country, Tex Mex, world music, etc etc, their competence was normally unquestionable and their easy going happy mood made for straightforward but professional sound checks, great gigs and happy times for all. All the best everyone.
It’s February 10, 2024. I’m sitting here completely enraptured. How is this just landing in my CZcams feed 10 YEARS AFTER?!?! To think of all the years I could have been in this Heaven! Hugh, you never cease to entertain, delight, tickle, astound, and absolutely TRANSCEND me! Loveeeee this …and YOU…more than words can describe! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Don’t ever stop!
I first heard of Hugh Laurie in about 1968 when Jak Firnberg gave me a book he had just finished called, 'The Gun Seller,' by Hugh Laurie. I had never laughed so hysterically -- and unexpectedly -- from reading a book about a gangster mob. I can only echo a comment I just read here, that Hugh Laurie does EVERYTHING SO-O-O WELL!! Wa-ay KE'EWL!
Probably the single best thing I've experienced on CZcams. What a treat. What a surprise. What a nice Saturday evening with Mr. Laurie. So glad he came to visit us.
Or rather it allowed him. N O is a very peculiar city. Very peculiar. It marks you. Bewitchs you. God I love that place. However I do not like outsiders
Ya know my mother taught piano for over 80 years .She played a half hour of oldies but goodies in the old folks home at 97 .......I did Royal conservatory ..started Grade 10 and thru it all for an electric guitar .....Now that I am over the hill I regret my ditching the piano....Hugh Laurie has inspired me to return to the fold....like the returning son I know that those 4 hrs plus of practicing in Grade 9 should do me welll ...I play a lot of slide guitar but that piano of Hugh has returned me to the proverbial holy grail of music .the piano .... Thank you Hugh.
I was born and lived in New Orleans for 26 years. I've lived away for a long time, but close enough to visit often. I know folks who were born and bred in NO who don't GET IT. Some moved away and never looked back. New Orleans will always be the home of my heart. I GET IT. Hugh Laurie GETS IT. Allen Toussaint - swoon.
Well it is evening of Jab 1st 2024 and I listened this last hour plus to true blue jass with Hugh. I'm 76 years old and live in South Africa. Wgat a way to begin 2024. Yea!!!!!! Looooooove to all.
In 1966 I got out of the US Navy, and the first car I bought was a Ford Galaxy 500 XL, It had a 390 ci engine with 3 carbs and progressive linkage. The engine was from a former police chase car. Had an auto transmission and rear end, never had the money to convert it to a Hurst shifted 4 speed manual. Got it up to an "indicated" (and doubtful)150 mph once which scared the crap out of me as the suspension was crap as well. Had to sell it when I went back to school, it got only 12 mpg if I was behaving and @ 8 mpg if I was being naughty. By the way, love this video, not often I watch a CZcams video this long, but as a lover of blues music I found this a fantastic thing to watch.
As if this video was hidden somewhere for seven years and it appeared suddenly out of the blue! Only 101 comments at the moment and all of them in the last few weeks! By the way, it's excellent!
@@lindam.6782 "House" never enjoyed anything that wasn't causing someone else misery. Hugh, on the other hand, is clearly having the time of his life here and it is completely infectious in all the best ways!
I'm a 72 year old Georgia resident who started going down and over to New Orleans at 15yrs when my parents took me there to the first of several Poultry Conventions. Pete Fountain was a favorite of that crowd. So when, as I was listening to this video featuring Hugh's New Orleans road trip I heard this statement, "New Orleans smells like funk.", I just fell out laughing. No truer words were ever spoken. That's exactly how New Orleans smells. But it's not the blues you're smelling. It's that damn Mississippi River. Delighted by this video. It's always uplifting to follow such enthusiasm as was seen here.
What is so capturing for me, is this dude LOVES what he's doing. Just Look at that Fucking smile after each tune.....Sitting at FOH over 4 Decades, I would be a smiling doing this gig....Forever across the world spreading the love.......
Hugh please please do more of these. This was a journey worth taking and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks to all the musicians and singers and to the one who brought them all together!
OH BOY !!! Another full day of "WONDERFUL MUSIC"! I spent all day yesterday tapping my feet and fingers in heaven, regretting not taking my Grandmothers piano lessons!!! "Thanks again!
That's one of my a favourite music video, I like blues, I like an actor and great singer Hugh Laurie and all musicians singing in this movie. This movie has made very successfully. Great thanks for that fabulous pilgrimage!!!
Hugh Laurie is a consummate show man ! He comes across as highly intelligent, with a quick wit and energised in every pore of his body ! Added to that is his educational background which gives him a firm base to a wide knowledge of the world which money and travel make possible ! He succeeds in compensating for his "old boy" public school background and reach a theatrical, "every man" attitude in his sketches and choices of roles! You do not feel, viewing him is a waste of time or that you have seen his material before, because, it is always fresh and spontaneous, since, he, himself, seemingly, produces his own quips as he goes along in a conversation . . . which are no doubt planned, generally, but, seem unrehearsed and spur of the moment . . . He has a good and unusual selection of facial expressions in his repertoire, which he uses very well and appropriately ! Without exaggeration, I can ´t praise enough, the entertaining videos I have seen !
I’ve been ticked off at CZcams for a while now, for various reasons. However, this recommendation may be one of the best things I’ve enjoyed this year. I grew up in New Orleans, many years ago. The music would pour from the open windows like honey. I love that city so much. There is so much beauty and heart amidst the pain of loss and rebuilding. This was an excellent job by everyone involved. I could have listened for hours. ⚜️⚜️⚜️
extraordinary performances, by an extraordinarily talented jazz and blues man, who REALLY knows how to " tickle the ivories"... And does it memorably.....
I would not ever want to live in the Big Easy, but I do love that crazy blend of cultures that American history created and made known among anyone who loves living.
I knew he was an actor but, later heard he played an instrument. That house must have fallen down after all that blues rocked that venue. 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼🎹🎹🎹🎹

my condolences. Performance sounds imaculate to this day.
The people in the background that make these things actually happen, the unsung heroes.
RIP
Thank you brother. Sounds great.

For a 64 year old man… he is possibly THE sexiest man alive. He can sing, play, dance, act, and is educated and well spoken with humor and grace.
Younger men, take note here, we like men like this ❤
I think he’s incredibly sexy 😛
I agree with you Barbara!
It’s February 10, 2024. I’m sitting here completely enraptured. How is this just landing in my CZcams feed 10 YEARS AFTER?!?!

I agree! How am I just finding this?
I know the feeling all too well. Here, we were raised on blackadder, jeeves and wooster, house and the like.
My crush didnt need this kind of fuel...cause now its just "Gimme smeggin MOAR!!"
I know..... He's totally amazing at everything - what a whizz he is and amusing, entertaining,
educational, funny, georgous hilarious ( please note I'm going through the alphabet.... So I will stop at the point which is... This man has everything!!! 👌
That is the story of my life. I am just watching this on the 1st day of March 2024 AD. Better later than never i'd say.
Wow.
This man is so multifaceted ...sings, acts, plays piano..and excels at all of them. And humble to boot. He clearly enjoys it all. What a guy...
Well said. By the way, I am happy all of us (who are here) ENJOY him! There still is SOME culture in us & among us!
Bug he ain't no doctor
True
well...sings... wait...
He dances too like a total badass that he is! Cool AF!
I do hope this is what heaven’s gonna be like. Amen.🎷🎼🎺🎹🎼🎵🎶
This is totally unfair. This man has all the talents: Jazz and Blues and Rock'n roll music, he plays and sings like nobody else. He can do Classical as well. It's nothing but a delight to listen to him. He can be an actor, a story teller a jazz history teller, a tourist guide to take us around in N.O. Have never been there and now it's fairly late so I fully enjoy this session. Thank you so much for posting this.
Wonderful
I'm really enjoying this! 👍
I completely agree. the whole documentary is incredible.
but he is a lousy diagnostician
So great to be there with this atmosphère thks to Hugh and all these guys and all of you included listeners... just great - keep on playing, singing and performing - wish i ' d be there
Hugh is white and I am from another Hemisphere ... What unites us beyond the color of our skin and a whole different universe, showing our soul and giving it a caress ...? Thanks to him and everyone who participated in this beautiful "journey" towards oneself ...
I have always loved Hugh Laurie since his Dr House days!! I had the biggest crush on him and still do!! I am a fan for life!!
❤
Since his show on PBS ! ❤❤❤❤❤ Jeeves and Wooster
Just gained a whole new level of respect for Hugh Laurie...
@POINTTWOFIVEMOA hun?
One of the more talented people in our generation.
@POINTTWOFIVEMOA That’s a douche kind of comment.
Please share your resumé with all of us, you sound like you’re much better than Hugh, yes?
Oh, hell yes, so good.
When TOM JONES praises your singing, there's nothing else anybody can discuss about your musical talent.
Can this possibly be the same man who brought life to Bertie Wooster and Dr House? A national treasure in the UK along with his old 'Jeeves' partner Stephen Fry. They have so much talent between them that they could shift planets. Thank you, Hugh.
I've been watching Hugh Laurie for decades, and he never fails to impress, and for a Brit, he has the most perfect American accent I've ever seen. He can do almost anything, and never lose the semse of being himself. I think they call this 'multi talented". I call him amazing.
Holy cow, what fun! Hugh Laurie's having the time if his life and sharing it with us. I'm grinning ear to ear! ♥️💃
I was kid fresh out of school sent to New Orleans on a job. Got off shift early evening. Found a cab, flipped a 50 and asked to be brought to hear real blues. Drove through swamps to a joint.

That is livin'
You were so lucky to discover this music so young. I was in my 20's living in Houston before I heard true New Orleans jazz, it's stayed with me every since. I hope you have discovered Django Reinhart, Stephane Grappelli and the Hot Club as well, and the Romany Manouche guitarist, Angelo Debarre, also on CZcams - he's unbelievable.
@@paulademichele1313 thank you.
Sharing is the magic and the mystery and with it......... blues cried the night
And yet.....the tear is silent
I Had NO idea this guy who, for all I knew played a sarcastic doctor on TV, had all these facets, what a talent . I love New Orleans, been there several times . This was a great tour .
I lived in New Orleans for centuries. I can say without a doubt that Hugh Laughrie is one of us. I love you Hugh!
I can’t believe it took eight years for this to come across my CZcams feed, but I’m so glad it did. I have always loved Hugh Laurie. He is the truest gem. ❤️
It took 10 years for me.
A true Renaissance man.
Just today for me. I lost a dear friend who was a jazz fan, so I'll enjoy this while wishing he was here
Had enjoyed it earlier, today enjoying once again
11 years for me, my love for this man knows no bounds.
New Orleans is a country within a country. If someone blindfolded you and dropped you in the Quarter, you would think you were in Europe . Spain, France, Italy. The food isn’t just food. The mood is warm and welcoming. And the MUSIC sways in The Big Easy.
Born and raised. I am so glad I came across this.
I'm also from a small city build on a swamp by the Spanish and then the French, filled with Italian heritage as well, not too far from Buenos Aires, Argentina (wich flooded pretty bad a few years ago) The CIA f us pretty bad with the 70s dictatorship but we still has some spirit left! and I'm truly in love with New Orleans, never been out of the country but that's the first place I'll pilgrim to! It's like our most beautiful cousin city!
If I ever get to visit the USA, i will definitely stop by. Love the music, the vibe. Greetings from a longtime Indian fan of Southern rock and blues...
from a small town in new orleans called Slidell I love my home state hopefully one day I can live back out there
That's what I think , ha ja about different categories, Music 🎉 😅 🎸🪘🎵🦪🍡🥮🍤🎉
Wait......What have I stumbled upon?!? Incredible!
Incredibly blessed to have lived there for 23 years of my life. I feel I got life in me that I wouldn't have had otherwise. Go before it's gone. Nothing like it ever again.
I had no idea Hugh Laurie played piano and loved the blues. My god. I cried all the way through SAINT JAMES INFIRMARY. My god. Great music. Thank you all. Great audio engineering work. Great (rich) photography. Incredible performers. Kudos all.
There were a couple of CD albums that came out of this, ‘Let Them Talk’ & ‘Let It Rain’. Excellent if you can find them.
I am from New Orleans, been living in Germany for 45 years. I can start crying when I see this video. Go!!! You Tube. Go!! Saints. 😎
Me too brother! One day I'll make it back to finish my life.
Yes, and I was born there, so I got roots in this cosmopolitan centre of culture especially jazz.
Oh my my my, what a gift to have this drop in my lap today. YEA!!!
Well I did know he was talented as a comedian, actor, director, producer, writer, and musician, but the 5 second glimpse of him piloting his plane into Fredericksberg just added a whole new level of respect.

New Orleans is so worth it, even if just for a weekend.
...and still can't dance...
add,classic American car lover to the list.
And arranger. He wrote the arrangements for these songs too. He's kind of like Steve Martin, and others I could name, people who are well known for one particular thing but have amazing talents in so many other fields.
My favorite city to which I've never been.

Thank you for th is wonderful concert which I only found on You Tube! unforgettable. Thank you.
The jazzy interpretation of St James Infirmary is marvelous!
Absolutely. I was first introduced to!this classic by the Dave Van Ronk rendition on Vanguard’s “Blues at Newport ‘63.”
Absolutely, more than music, it’s an experience
amen
This is truly a treasure. I'm so glad I found it!
My dad would have loved this. Wish he was still around to enjoy it. Hugh Laurie is a HUGE talent… what an amazing and humble guy!!!🏆🎹🎷🥁🎻🎶🎵👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨💫💫💫
Amazing as always is my favourite English actor, comedian, writer, director, and musician Hugh Laurie! God bless your multi-talented self!
Wow where was Hugh hiding I'm Blown Away by this magnificent show thank you Julie

It’s February 10, 2024. I’m sitting here completely enraptured. How is this just landing in my CZcams feed 10 YEARS AFTER?!?! To think of all the years I could have been in this Heaven! Hugh, you never cease to entertain, delight, tickle, astound, and absolutely TRANSCEND me! Loveeeee this …and YOU…more than words can describe! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Don’t ever stop!
The Soul of Hugh Laurie meets the soul of New Orleans, what a great musician what a great city!
You have got to love Laurie's PASSION!!!
Thank you, Hugh. And all the other musicians. This is beautiful.
I first heard of Hugh Laurie in about 1968 when Jak Firnberg gave me a book he had just finished called, 'The Gun Seller,' by Hugh Laurie. I had never laughed so hysterically -- and unexpectedly -- from reading a book about a gangster mob. I can only echo a comment I just read here, that Hugh Laurie does EVERYTHING SO-O-O WELL!! Wa-ay KE'EWL!
Very inspiring! Laurie is even a better musician than an actor. And that’s quite something! Loved the photography ❤ and ❤New Orleans!
I absolutely LOVE this live version of St. James Infirmary! ❤
Probably the single best thing I've experienced on CZcams. What a treat. What a surprise. What a nice Saturday evening with Mr. Laurie. So glad he came to visit us.
One of the very best!
Let's be sincere, you didn't find it, it's found you.
Or rather it allowed him. N O is a very peculiar city. Very peculiar. It marks you. Bewitchs you. God I love that place. However I do not like outsiders
C .est vrais !!!!!!!!
Ain't that the story of the Blues...
You are so right...
Ain’t that the truth.
That wonderfull HUGH LAURIE 👏👏👏👏👏🙏
I absolutely love New Orleans and the blues you hear down in the french quarter.
Ya know my mother taught piano for over 80 years .She played a half hour of oldies but goodies in the old folks home at 97 .......I did Royal conservatory ..started Grade 10 and thru it all for an electric guitar .....Now that I am over the hill I regret my ditching the piano....Hugh Laurie has inspired me to return to the fold....like the returning son I know that those 4 hrs plus of practicing in Grade 9 should do me welll ...I play a lot of slide guitar but that piano of Hugh has returned me to the proverbial holy grail of music .the piano .... Thank you Hugh.
This picks me up on a rainy winter day, Hugh Laurie has much more than just laughs to share. Great way to reinvent my love for the New Orleans blues.
How could anyone in their right mind vote a "thumbs down" for this "Hugh Laurie road trip in blues country"--delightful. Thank you, "Dr. House"!
because they dont get it . I have a friend and we always say , THEY GET IT ! so HUGH GETS IT !
ignore the uninformed
@Jeppo Jinx Huh?
I was born and lived in New Orleans for 26 years. I've lived away for a long time, but close enough to visit often. I know folks who were born and bred in NO who don't GET IT. Some moved away and never looked back. New Orleans will always be the home of my heart. I GET IT. Hugh Laurie GETS IT. Allen Toussaint - swoon.

By the way, love this video, not often I watch a CZcams video this long, but as a lover of blues music I found this a fantastic thing to watch.
In an interview I saw he said that this (blue musician) was what he always wanted to do. The acting came along quite be chance. Funny old world.
Hugh has turned me into a jazz/blues fan! LOVE him...
This is the best music it just makes you feel so happy!!
Now that's one combination I never expected
New Orleans has a special place in my heart and head. Hugh Laurie...you done good.
I haven't seen some of this, but when Hugh and Irma Thomas backup Tom Jones, Yes that Tom Jones. It brings Tears to my Eyes.
As if this video was hidden somewhere for seven years and it appeared suddenly out of the blue! Only 101 comments at the moment and all of them in the last few weeks! By the way, it's excellent!
@@lindam.6782 I meant that although this special video is on CZcams for seven years, people started commenting it just a few weeks ago.
FANTASTICO
@@lindam.6782 "House" never enjoyed anything that wasn't causing someone else misery. Hugh, on the other hand, is clearly having the time of his life here and it is completely infectious in all the best ways!
Just great everything - music and Laurie.
Dr House!!!!!!! Unbelievable , never heard this face of Hugh Laurie!! Amazing talent!
I knew that Hugh could play , but man this is incredible. Thank you so much.
Laurie's expressions as he flies away with the "moments musical"..priceless..
I don't know why it's taken me so long to find this but I'm so so happy I did. Thank you Hugh.
This is the best thing I have stumbled upon on CZcams in a long time x
ME TOO/PEDRO DE PARAGUAY
Hey Dr. House, I watched ALL your episodes 'till the end and now I know where you were heading to on your motor bike. New Orleans. What a gas!
😂😊😅🎵🎼🎶😎😎
Great as a comedian - BRILLIANT as a musician...
I'm a 72 year old Georgia resident who started going down and over to New Orleans at 15yrs when my parents took me there to the first of several Poultry Conventions. Pete Fountain was a favorite of that crowd.
So when, as I was listening to this video featuring Hugh's New Orleans road trip I heard this statement, "New Orleans smells like funk.", I just fell out laughing. No truer words were ever spoken. That's exactly how New Orleans smells. But it's not the blues you're smelling. It's that damn Mississippi River. Delighted by this video. It's always uplifting to follow such enthusiasm as was seen here.
I think i watched this 40 times in the last weeks. It is simply amazing.
I love this drummer! Some old school traps going on there. So many new ones bang and thrash. Everything he does is just so musical.
vintage drum kit,authentic sound
That fella IS music. Agreed--love him!
Holy cow, thanks to Hugh Laurie for the Irma Thomas introduction.
All this musical talent, and a brilliant surgeon too... Wow.
yes Dr. House is in the house||||||||
Your saying this guy is also a medical doctor?
@@rapidrhinoplumbing-monrovi3269Not IRL. He plays a doctor, Dr. Gregory House, on the TV series called “House.” Fabulous!
That is the famous Preservation Hall. WOW!!!
What is so capturing for me, is this dude LOVES what he's doing. Just Look at that Fucking smile after each tune.....Sitting at FOH over 4 Decades, I would be a smiling doing this gig....Forever across the world spreading the love.......
Hugh please please do more of these. This was a journey worth taking and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks to all the musicians and singers and to the one who brought them all together!
I knew Bertie Wooster could play the piano but it's so incredible to see him Laurie play as himself.
Oh almost forgot what a great Wooster!!!

And in Blackadder…
I love this man and this team, and this music, and this ambiance, and this world and this this. That's all for this day !
OH BOY !!! Another full day of "WONDERFUL MUSIC"! I spent all day yesterday tapping my feet and fingers in heaven, regretting not taking my Grandmothers piano lessons!!! "Thanks again!
New Orleans is magic!
So glad I came across this and so glad it has well over a million views. This music must not pass.
I was lucky enough to see his concert in Budapest. He was amazing. But with New Orleans he and his music fit so well.
What fun he had playing music everywhere.😄👍🎶
WOW HAD NO IDEA OF THIS MANS TALENT...
He leaked some of it on "House" from time to time. He has little use for a bushel basket.
Have u not watched Jeeves & Wooster..
Everyone in this has so much talent. Loving this.
What a beautiful timeless collection. I could listen to this forever. Thanks for bringing this 'round again.
That's one of my a favourite music video, I like blues, I like an actor and great singer Hugh Laurie and all musicians singing in this movie. This movie has made very successfully. Great thanks for that fabulous pilgrimage!!!
He's an ambassador of American people's music! I adore his MIssion!
But is he on a mission from God, has he seen the light?
I had no idea this limey had so much soul!!👍
Hugh Laurie is a modern Renaissance man!
All I know is that I will watch this over and over and over ....Love it
From Blackadder to this I did not realize he could do this stuff Love Him
Fantastic wow Hugh and friends brought back the experience plus the amazing music !!! Bravo
Hugh Laurie is a consummate show man ! He comes across as highly intelligent, with a quick wit and energised in every pore of his body ! Added to that is his educational background which gives him a firm base to a wide knowledge of the world which money and travel make possible ! He succeeds in compensating for his "old boy" public school background and reach a theatrical, "every man" attitude in his sketches and choices of roles! You do not feel, viewing him is a waste of time or that you have seen his material before, because, it is always fresh and spontaneous, since, he, himself, seemingly, produces his own quips as he goes along in a conversation . . . which are no doubt planned, generally, but, seem unrehearsed and spur of the moment . . . He has a good and unusual selection of facial expressions in his repertoire, which he uses very well and appropriately ! Without exaggeration, I can ´t praise enough, the entertaining videos I have seen !
I’ve been ticked off at CZcams for a while now, for various reasons. However, this recommendation may be one of the best things I’ve enjoyed this year. I grew up in New Orleans, many years ago. The music would pour from the open windows like honey. I love that city so much. There is so much beauty and heart amidst the pain of loss and rebuilding. This was an excellent job by everyone involved. I could have listened for hours. ⚜️⚜️⚜️
extraordinary performances, by an extraordinarily talented jazz and blues man, who REALLY knows how to " tickle the ivories"... And does it memorably.....
WOW. Tom is 82 and still sounds wonderful!!
Totally wonderful, amazing drummer.
oh Shiite,never seen chamois on drum heads,what a way to mute
Shoutout to the drummer. Classy work. Big ears
Amazing collaboration 💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🌹💜,in love 🎹🎹🎹🥁🎤🎧🎵🎶🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎶🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎸🪕🎻🎺🎷🎶🎶🎶
I would not ever want to live in the Big Easy, but I do love that crazy blend of cultures that American history created and made known among anyone who loves living.
I knew he was an actor but, later heard he played an instrument. That house must have fallen down after all that blues rocked that venue. 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼🎹🎹🎹🎹
Consumate actor, comedian, musician, entirely charming, and absolutely BEAUTIFUL hands. Master of the arts.❤
