Dr. John Right Place Wrong Time (music video)

Remastered to the studio version of the song.

Editing note: The band and Dr. John were playing this live in the studio on the original. Dr. John's real vocals barely matched the video - he is moving his head back and forth into the mic a lot, singing up close and far away, and his mouth doesn't necessarily open when he sings. I did my best to get him in sync with the vocals on the original.

The 70s seemed like a fun time to be alive!

[JoseFlores-uwtz]

Grateful that I was a young man in the seventies. That musical era has never been duplicated.. It seems like each and every day a great new song would come out. We did not realize how lucky and blessed we were at that time. Life was so much easier back then.

Thanks for this from a 70yo who never been in the right place

Man the seventies were such a funky and groovy time man.

[SusanEvans-tsqu]

Randomly popped in my head!
Yes 70s was the the right place and I was in the right time. Lol😁✌️New Zealand ! Now live in Australia.

[dantecerda]

I pretty sure I want this song played at my funeral ⚱️. 🤔

[LeL-qe]

I like this song but I had no idea Dr. John had done and accomplished so much. He had a terrific history. RIP to Dr. John.

super cool video and great sound quality/ what an incredible groove!

[no-one-u-know]

LOL - after all these years, still love this line: "re-fried confusion is making itself clear"

[phillipskillern]

Here cause of the Dj Kool Herc x Nardwuar interview. Growing up in New Orleans, I always respected Dr. John’s contribution to music. Had no idea on the influence he had on Hip-Hop. Such an icon. RIP to a legend!

[NightOwl]

the musical instrumentation timing is very precise and exact

[richardweber]

Can you dig it!!!
Song is requested at my wake...😮

[davemathews]

Fun fact: A decade earlier than this performance, Dr John could not have played on the same stage with his band and back up singers without violating Louisiana's Jim Crow laws.

We Want to end up in the Right Place At The Right Time Oh Yes We Don't Want to be in the Wrong place at the Wrong Time We Don't Even Want to be in the Right Place At The Wrong Time Either because we could Get LOST and Run late and Get Fired and have no career That wouldn't be good. ALSO THERE SHOULD BE THE RIGHT TIME TO PLAY THIS SONG! DON'T PLAY THIS SONG AT THE WRONG TIME! Cool 70s Song! 👍🙂🎶🎵

Is this who the Dr Teeth muppet is based on? Getting similar vibes

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But must have used the wrong line
I been on the right trip
But I must have used the wrong car
Head is in a bad place and I wonder what it's good for
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head is in a bad place
But I'm having such a good time
I've been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Really got to give myself a good talking to this time
Just need a little brain salad surgery
I got to que my insecurity
But I've been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein
But it seems like a wrong arm
I been in the right world
But it seems like wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Slipping, dodging, sneaking, creeping, hiding out down the street
See my life shaking with every who I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here
But I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I took the right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
I took a right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I was in the right trip
But I made it in the wrong car
Head is in a good place, and I wonder what it's bad for

[Mr.Robert]

Shame it's not live.
Just a lip sink, not bad though. It works for me unlike some that I've seen that I can't watch.

[franklinboersma]

this is why i wrote and performed 'beautiful you are' on you tube❤

[shawnclark]

This song comes up on my songpop game a lot, so i had to come on youtube to see what he looks like. 😳 He's white! I could have sworn he was a black dude. Great song, love his raspy voice
