RE: NPC ... Chambers Brothers/Slight Patti Content



Back in 1975/76, Louie Louie was a staple of Patti's show.  She would often
segue Pale Blue Eyes into Louie Louie....there are at least a couple of
bootlegs that have it.

As recently as 1983 [wow, that's still 24 years ago!] I had the 
pleasure of seeing them in northern California. Not all original 
members of course, but still as authentic sounding to me as the earlier 
days. We got to chatting after the show, and to make a long story short 
they offered to record a song for me to use on an upcoming radio 
special I was involved in.
And that's how I got the Chambers Brothers to record "Louie Louie" for 
me!!!

Very nice guys, I stayed in touch for a few more years when they'd play 
near San Francisco.

So...why didn't Patti resurrect "Louie Louie"? It was never formally 
recorded, just appeared on fan live recordings. With the release of 
'TWELVE' and the current tour, it would be a natural!!!
