Do you know this location?

John Lee Hooker clip from a recording in 1965. Looks similar to a building on Baronne and Melpomene. Sign on building reads crayfish instead of crawfish.

No idea but great clip. It's weird to see him standing up. And not wearing sunglasses.

Looks like the place on Magazine and Napoleon...or is it Magazine/Louisiana?

Looks like it could be what is now "The Club" AKA Mae's; Napoleon and Magazine- Downtown river corner.

I don't think that it's The Club (aka Miss Mae's). It's a one way street, judging by the parked delivery van, where Napoleon would be located.

I'm going to the library this afternoon, and will look up Tom's in old phone books. I am thinking that it's in Treme, back in the mid to early 50's, judging by the cars and the signs on the walls and banquettes.

Thank you all for your feedback. I like this clip and I am curious about the background.

I did go by the library, but I was too late to get upstairs (their hours SUCK and not being open on Sunday really SUCKS-but, I digress, sorry). I'll go up there tomorrow and find the place and, with any luck, maybe some better photos once I find the address. Usually, once you nail the street address, you can find all kinds of stuff.

I see many mentions of Tom's Bar and Lounge online, but no mention of the address.
