Fans of Phish keyboardist Page McConnell are sure to recall his work with The Meter Men, performing the funk catalog of The Meters with three of their founding members – George Porter Jr., Zigaboo Modeliste, and Leo Nocentelli. Consider last night’s performance a “Meter Men” light, as McConnell sat in with George Porter Jr. & The Runnin’ Pardners last night at the Burlington, VT club Nectar’s.
McConnell has kept himself busy in Vermont, recently making a rare guest appearance with Twiddle on their song “When It Rains It Poors” at Waterfront Park. You can watch the exclusive video of that sit-in by following this link.
The Phish keyboardist joined Porter Jr. for two songs, Meters original “Just Kissed My Baby” and the Allen Toussaint classic, “Sneakin’ Sally Through The Alley.” It’s a safe bet that Leo killed it, though only one sideways video has surfaced thusfar. Watch that clip, which was discovered by JamBase, below.
