We then decided thatwe would spend the rest of the day at the main stage, the Acura Stage, where we watched, firstly the Hot 8 Brass Band:


Bill went to watch several songs by Jerron 'Blind Boy' Paxton.



Then back at the Acura Stage, we watched a fantastic Tribute to Fats Domino, featuring the Fats Domino Orchestra, with special guests, fistly Deacon John:


then Davell Crawford:


then Irma Thomas:


then Jon Batiste:


then Bonnie Raitt, with Jon Cleary:


then Al ''lil fats'' Jackson:


After a brief break, Bonnie Raitt with her band, including Jon Cleary, returned to the Acura Stage:


The final performance for the day was a great show by Rod Stewart:





We then returned to the French Quarter, and the gang (Aimee, Mark, Lee, Paul & Trev) went for a cajun dinner at Pere Antoine Restaurant.



Di and then walked back to our condo, via the revelrous Bourbon Street.
