Special thanks to readers Jesse and NlorNOLA for their contributions! From NlorNOLA:

the original of Tornado Special was featured on Rebirth's 1992 album Take It To The Street. According to Allmusic it was written by Darryl Adams, who I assume is the sometimes saxophonist at Preservation Hall. This version didn't feature the other part that I assume to be the Mardi Gras Indian song of Ooh Nah Nay, but I'll have to dig out the Ultimate album to double check that. The song is still a regular feature at many current second line parades.

This live version by Rebirth Brass Band is performed as part of The Main Event medley.
