According to Ross Perimutter, stage manager at the Warehouse in 1977-78 Little Feat has a song on the “Let it Roll” CD called “Hanging on to the Good Times” (a really nice tribute to Lowell George) that references a particularly memorable gig at the Warehouse. The lyrics read:

“And I just have to laugh
When I recall the time down in New Orleans
Don’t ya know
Rained us out of an indoor show
We spent our money so fine
The girls were standin’ in line
Down in the Quarters at Lucky Pierre’s
A time of our life without any cares…”

The short story is that it was raining like crazy and Tchoupitoulas Street started flooding. Everyone inside was completely oblivious to what was happening outside and suddenly the loading doors burst open and a huge 2-foot tsunami rolled in over the crowd. People were literally swimming for the exits and the roadies were diving to yank the power to the stage…a “rained out gig” at an indoor show!
