It was the Seventies, the decade of Creative Chaos as some have called it. And, in a city where no less an authority than the Doors’ John Densmore says rock had its origins, stood The Warehouse down on the banks of the Mississippi River—1820 Tchoupitoulas St. to be exact. It was the epicenter of rock in New Orleans, the Fillmore South if you will, and you could see the Who or Elton John or David Bowie or the Eagles for five bucks, $5.50 if you waited until show time.
