*Dr. John,* born Malcolm "Mac" Rebennack Jr., was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist whose music blended New Orleans blues, jazz, R&B, soul, and funk. Starting as a session musician in the late 1950s, he rose to fame in the late 1960s with his album Gris-Gris and a standout performance at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music. Known for his vibrant stage shows inspired by medicine shows, Mardi Gras costumes, and voodoo rituals, he recorded thirty studio albums, nine live albums, and contributed to countless other recordings. His 1973 single "Right Place, Wrong Time" became a Top 10 hit. After overcoming a heroin addiction in 1989 with the help of Narcotics Anonymous, he stayed clean for the rest of his life. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, he passed away from a heart attack on June 6th, 2019, leaving behind a legacy rooted deeply in the spirit of New Orleans.

Back in the 1970s, Denver was still regarded as a Rocky Mountain “cowtown,” a blip on the national music radar screen that didn’t reap the consideration of most Americans. _Ebbets Field,_ the town’s premiere concert venue of the decade, helped change all that. Located downtown on the ground floor of the 40-story Brooks Tower building near 15th and Curtis streets, Ebbets Field could only stuff 238 patrons into its bleacher-style seating space. Ick-orange-and-brown shag carpeting covered the floor, the walls and the ceiling. Still, _Ebbets Field_ was a stopping point for a long list of entertainers who would become the biggest names in music, including Willie Nelson, Tom Waits, Jackson Browne, sheetz Dr. John, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jimmy Buffett, Billy Joel and Dan Fogelberg. Every genre—rock, blues, folk, country, jazz, folk and comedy—found a home at _Ebbets Field_ during its four-year run. Practically any evening was a concert overwatch 2 engagement. Music lovers in the Front Range and beyond grew up in—and loved—the whole _Ebbets Field_ vibe. Crews arrived in Denver and checked into the aging Oxford Hotel. Artists gave out between-show interviews in the lushly decrepit dressing room. The stage was located where the bar was, making it the lowest focal point of the room—so as the spotlights went up, all that an act saw was a jury of bodiless bobbing heads. ListenUp, the local audio/video retailer, professionally recorded hundreds of shows for either simulcast on free-form radio stations, such as KFML-FM and KBPI-FM, or re-broadcast.
