    Interview portion is very cool. The performance footage is from Ultrasonic Studios, Hempstead, New York on September 19, 1974. Thank you! My father was Lowell George.

      I think the interview was from the Aussie tour around 1976. Greatest band of all time Forrest but Feats were never the same without your Dad IMO. And love Inara's work to! Good to see the genes passed on!!

      I actually cried when I saw your pop’s jacket and a guitar in the hall of fame museum. Lowell and John Hartford are my favorite artists to ever live. I never got to see either🙏 Much love from the hollers of West Virginia v

    Lowell looked so clearheaded, together and cogent. Incredibly sad ending to a major talent and under appreciated band.

      Not sure about them being unappreciated especially not in Britain.

      That's addiction for you. You can see Janis Joplin's excellent interviews on Dick Cavett's show, and then realize she was dead soon after the last one. Some made it through - e.g. Bowie, and (unbelievably) Keith Richards. All smart, talented people.

    Lowell’s style was musicianship unsurpassed. Left us way too soon. Thankfully we have his recorded legacy.

    I've been trying to understand what's so special about Little Feat for years; for the first time, I can sort of see it now after watching this "rock n'roll doctor" performance. Pretty groovy with all the different backup voices and the call and response, etc. Wish I could find a whole set from this early period.

      @BreconWalsh Lowell was heavily into dope unfortunately which led to his demise, frank zappa as wild as he seemed was very strict about substance abuse hence he terminated Lowell in his band

    He didn't sell out for money. He kept his integrity, and played his music as he felt it. Too bad he was done in by his addictions- (and there were many).

      The Dead were a groove band for fans.
      Little Feat is a groove band for bands and musicians.
