NOLA Jazz fest was this past weekend!
Vampire Weekend is busted out the covers. They performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on Saturday and did two covers they’ve never done before.
First they played some of Bruce Springsteen’s “Hungry Heart” after an audience member requested a Springsteen song for their birthday. Later in the set, they covered Bob Dylan’s “When He Returns,” the closing track from “Slow Train Coming.”
Bassist Chris Baio was not at the show. He explained on his Instagram story, “Folks, I’m laid out in bed with the flu today and will be missing a VW show for the first time since fall of 2006. The good news is I’m on the mend and feeling better. The better news is the fellas have a special show planned for today in my absence.”
