The Funky Meters
The Terrace Club
Stamford, CT
10 Nov 94

The 1994 departure of Leo Nocentelli led The Meters to invite old friend Brian Stoltz as replacement guitarist. Stoltz had been the guitarist for The Neville Brothers during the '80s, and during the '90s had done session work on records with Bob Dylan, Edie Brickell, Dr. John and Linda Ronstadt, to name a few. Under this new line up, the band was renamed to The Funky Meters. For me personally, the Funky Meters don't seem quite as funky as the Original Meters. The seem a little too lai back with tne New Orleans shuffle beat (popularize by Lowell Geogre of Little Feat). 

The original members of the Meters (including Modeliste and Nocentelli) also have been reforming for shows from time to time. To differentiate from The Funky Meters, these reunion versions of the band are usually referred to as The Original Meters (or simply The Meters).
