#LittleFeat #DixieChicken #SkinItBack
Has anyone ever thought that little feat is one of the best classic rock bands ever but they never get any recognition?
Probably because Lowell died so young I think.
Little Feat and the Amazing Rhythm Aces!
Whenever I'm down I can listen to ANYTHING by Feat & get back up again. R.I.P. (rock in peace) Lowell George 🎸
Great band...in all their iterations.
Agree!
Waiting For Columbus IS one of the BEST Southern Rock albums EVER!!! I am 66 yrs old n STILL agree with that statement!!! GREAT seeing it posted here!!! Thanks ever so!!
🤔 I thought you were only 61?
My all time favorite I'll be 62 soo
62 soon
Little Feat is one of my top 5 bands of All Time...But they ARE NOT SOUTHERN ROCK. Same as CCR, they are California Pure. Lowell's first big jobs were with Zappa. Later, they hung out in NOLA with Toussaint, Bonnie Raitt and Robert Palmer. Lowell did too much "China White" there, like Dr, John and Johnny Winter. But they are not from Dixie. Know your History!!!
'Waiting For Columbus" is seriously one of the greatest all time live albums.
No, it’s THE best live album ever!
i borrowed a copy once and returned it worn out 2 weeks later, oopsie
Little Feat with Lowell George is absolutely one the all time best bands ever.
@@clayjones4841 for sure jonesey.
Absolutely! Tomato in a hammock.
When ever I find a Little Feat fan it;s like finding an old friend.
I feel the same about this album, it's like an old friend.😊
Wi
waiting for columbus is the best live record of the 70´s
True 😎
Friends for Sure 😊
ANYTHING Lowell George touched was very very special. RIP DEAR SOUL
My late uncle always told me that this was one of my father’s favorite songs. It is fine as wine, this Lowell George number cannot be beat.
Little feat. Been a long time
Agree, the keys kinda remind me of early Elton John!
Barbara B Mann in Philly back in the day 70 years old and still listening to this great MUSIC 😊
No band ever grooved like Little Feat grooved. Amazing band! RIP Lowell.
maybe Tower of Power ...
@@paulmorgan8254 Yeah, they could groove.
Totally unique groove, driven by Richie Hayward's totally unique approach to drumming. That's "in the pocket"!
This is one great song!!! Little feat ROCKS! And I'm sixtynine years old!
Every well known artists know about this incredible band, otherwise only real musiclovers have them albums in the collection. Great Band!!!
We were young and happy
Big time fan.
Little Feat is the best
Bill Payne is one of the best keyboard player in the world !!!!
He is something else Bill Payne. Now he plays piano with Doobie Brothers last time I saw them. It was one big happy everything.
Little Feat is too good to be in the rock and roll "Hall of Fame".
How could they not be? I miss them like I miss being a kid, or whatever Bonnie Raitt said.
Hall of Shame
The "Hall" is beneath them.
But I still think they deserve the honor
I didn't know that they weren't in. Wtf?!!!
One of the greatest bands ever. "You know you are over the hill when your mind makes a promise your body can't fill". I can relate to that.
no shit!
Discovered Little Feat in 1975, and my body can't keep up with those promises like it used to!
I can now at 77!!! I just busted my butt playing with my 2 year old Granddaughter!!! A 77 y/o bod and a 30 y/o mind is trouble!!!
I have 'sang' that line so many times.
💯
Yes!!! They don't get the recognition they deserve!! They were around in the 70s and we partied to them as much as Skynyrd and the brothers!!!
Absolutely
I saw them in the 70's... Lowell George was going crazy on slide guitar... underrated and unappreciated and he could really sing
10.4.....Saw them at least 5 or 6 times...Lowell George and his white overalls....Feats Don't Ever Fail you!!!!!😢
Did you know he was in Frank Zappa’s band , Zappa got Little Feat their 1st record deal…
Cuz you need to be born before 1962 appreciate all the Fantastic music from those days
I was born in 68, doesn't seem to have any problem for me. I've been to over 60 feat meets, another one is coming up in July Rock on Feat!!!!
I don't know about that. My kids ages 44 to 28 absolutely love all the classic rock.
@@kimberleelee9141 That's probably because you, (like I did) filled your house with all that great music from those days when they were young. My kids love it too, and are in the same age range as yours. Massive difference vs the way we rejected pretty much all our parent's music.
Last time I saw Little Feat was on Billy Payne's home turf on the central coast of California in Avila Beach. The rain stopped when my friend and I arrived, Charlie Muscle White, renowned harp player opened. Eric Burdon next and then Little Feat ....WOW WHAT A DAY ! LOTSA OLD FANS AND NEW ONES ! ROCK ON !
I am a 65 yo Nana and have always Loved this band
It's wild how much swag this song contains
Great band! Lowell, RIP.
Lowell George & Little Feat Band for the ages.
I put this band in the same category as the Band... only once in a lifetime do bands like this come along...
For my money throw Three Dog Night in there too
@@lokispeicher8103Are you serious? They were one of the crappiest "bands" ever. All they ever did were covers.
Waiting for Columbus and the last waltz two best live albums of all time and the group’s are too!
and they used to play together. Can you imagine that double bill!
All you need say is Feats don't fail me now
Seen them three times, wWaiting for Columbus is the greatest live album ever and anybody that didn't see them or Lowell George live really missed something special. RIP Lowell and Richie
The world was a better place when these guys were making this music.
Damm straight.
I will never understand why the world did not quit turning when Lowell George passed.
Indeed
Yeah, it was. Sure miss those simpler times with kickass music.
Little Feat so deserve to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. No other band like them!
Little Feat WAS The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. No more inductees allowed... BEST American rock band ever. End of.
Good but not The Beach Boys
Eagles
Saw them in Celtic Park in ‘74,With the Outlaws,Sensational Alex Harvey Band and The Who Closing it-what a day!!!
Lowell left us way 2 EARLY
Little feat was known as the world's greatest unknown band, I feel the Allman brothers, the band, the grateful dead & little feat was & is some of the greatest music the world got to ever experience &I was blessed to see them all, some once & some many, peace to all
Amen. Great music.
This. Plus zappa
Amen. My hearts songs 🎵!
Dang, Bill Payne!!! Holymoly, the dude is amazing and is still at it. Little Feat was like no other band back then. RIP Lowell George.
Now that's Little Feat...What a great band ! Lowell George was a legend.
They were the days
Bill Payne does an astounding jazzy solo. Boogie woogie too!
This band was underrated.. they should have had so many hits!!! Like this song!
Little Feat was an LA band. I saw them at the Fox Theater in Atlanta in 77-78. Great show. Bonnie Raitt opened for them…Amazing
Ladies and gentlemen...the incomparable Billy Payne on keyboard!!
Yesss
double yess
@@caroleelaschwa5294 triple yesssssss.
@@pattimartin7250 Quadruple yaaaaasssss!
Happy Birthday, Bill Payne!
The Keyboard-Solo is incredible tasty - Bill Payne is a genius
This set from 1977 was my first full encounter with Little Feat. They simply floored me, and I was shocked and devastated when Lowell passed not even a full two years afterwards. Saw them live with Craig Fuller in about 1989, the year after my dad died, and they sort of chased away some of the darkest clouds... So a big thank you to the band, and "rest in power" to Lowell, Richie & Paul, to the team at Rockpalast, and of course to Mercury for putting this up 😄😄😄
We were all shocked and devastated. No one can take his place.
Most Underrated Rock Band ever
Lowell gone, Ritchie gone, Paul gone but never forgotten. Takes me back to many wonderful times.
One of best. Saw them twice in The Fox Theater in Atlanta. Bonnie Raitt backed them up then came back out and sang a few with them. They defy category. Waiting For Columbus, one of the all time great live LPs
What a feather 🪶 in the rock cap!
Except Lowell's studio overdubs on WFC, much better bootlegs out there..
I love everything about little feat except that lowell is missing
Saw them three times here. The first time was with the original band at UC Santa Barbara (1974?) when they opened for UFO and Fleetwood Mac. The 2nd and 3rd times was at the Concord Pavilion in the 80s with the newer (at the time) members from Pure Prairie League.
For the Concord concerts they headlined the 2nd show with Jeff Healey opening for them, where Healey joined them for the encore. Was amazing - he was killing it but the band couldn't reel him back in because, well ... he was blind. Some of the most amazing 20 minutes of jamming I've ever witnessed.
The 3rd show they opened for the Allman Brothers. Yeah ... *that* was a f***ing amazing show.
Should be in rock nroll hall of fume!
Love how Lowell calmly finishes his smoke, takes a few sips from his beer, tunes up a bit, then slides right in. Smooth doesn't even begin to describe it.
One of the Most Musical Bands Ever, Never to Be Matched for what they Done , Absolutely Six Star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …. Say no more..🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞👍🏻👑
lowell George with Bonnie Rait and Emyloo fuckin Harris . Total classic
@Jacob Koehler To each their own. I love the Band, saw them back Dylan in '74, however I'm not sure Richard and Garth together had the chops that Bill Payne had at that time. Saw the Feat with Lowell in 75, 76 & 77, including two of the three nights they recorded WFC at Lisner. The Band were killer live, but they weren't the Feat. Again TETO.
They blend so effortlessly 😍
Lowell and Bonnie were magic.
Radio failed by not playing these guys in my childhood, back in the 80s and early 90s. This is great music
Richie Hayward one of the best percussionist out there rip
There was no other drummer who played like Hayward. Totally unique, a human groove machine!
Ever watch the vid with Richie playing with Linda Ronstadt? Awesome ! ua-cam.com/video/RJ7bcmrS1U8/v-deo.html @@321snoot
Definitely one in the most under rated bands ever. I saw them several times in the 70’s and was blown stay every time. They created some of the best music that I have ever heard.
That's Lowell George, the original song-writer for Little Feat who died many years ago. We saw them back in the 70's. I was aa Tuner Technician for a major University and we invited them. What a show in 75! Why they don't the recognition they deserve is beyond me! MAR
sometimes popularity masks talent...these guys were very talented
If I'm on a deserted island with only 10 albums to listen to for the rest of my life, Feet's Don't Fail me Now is on the list
attached to this song. when i came to America from India in 1992, I brought with me only 10 cassettes one of them was Waiting for Columbus
Dixie Chicken
Waiting for Columbus would be with me!
When answering the deserted island question, Waiting for Columbus is always the top of this list for me. The only other albums that come close is Allman's at Fillmore and The Wall.
First time I heard them (Dixie Chicken album), It gave me goosebumps. I didn't know there was a band playing music that great . 50 years later, I'm still listening🥰
I was a snowbird in the winter when I was young. The music down south was a whole lot different than what was played in the north eastern region. I was always telling my northern friends about all the bands, AB, J Gials, skinard, MH, L Feet, etc. Story short I was working in George Town I missed the day little feet stayed at the hotel I was working on the outside of the building on a swing stage about 50 foot or so off the ground when we left the night before when I got back the stage was where it was left the night before. And when I got on the next morning ooh the stories my crew mates could tell. 😂
One of my top five groups, they were a different genre with the song writing and fantastic musicians!
Saw them several times from 1974 until fronting TTB in Atlantic City this year…my fall back road music.
A groove to die for. It takes serious skill to make it look that easy.
I couldn’t agree more!!
A groove to die for . Well said!!
Dixie Chicken was one of the best 10 albums of th e 1970's period, without question. Lowell George was a bad mama jama and that album was a stone cold groove.
Lowell George was a one in a million voice, gone too soon. The band was unmatched in rhythm.
I agree , if you really listen to the musicians separately-fantastic. Put them all together, beyond words. They make me smile.
I was 17 when Waiting for Columbus came out. To this day, it’s, one of the greatest live albums ever produced.
I also remember raking leaves in my parents yard when I got the news Lowell passed away
I saw the "Waiting for Columbus " tour when they came through Portland. Instantly my favorite Southern rock band! God speed Lowell...
RIP Paul, your sound will forever live on, with much thanks from a grateful fan.
omg every song i grew up with
The tightest band. Truly great.
One of the best bands EVER. Period.
I was an avid reader of liner notes in the 70’s, and his name was everywhere. In addition to his own wonderful songs, he played on and produced some works of my favorite artists: Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, and Valerie Carter.
Not to mention screwing Linda Ronstandt and Emmylou Harris. Where did he find the time?
This band gives me goosebumps! LOL
We went to see the sound check in 2001 , Greenville,S.C. , Around 2pm , The Handlebar And it was Great !!! In😂 the bar area , my girlfriend took Paul Barrera into a restroom and after a while she came back with 3 tickets 3rd row center stage and backstage passes since the show was sold out . There is a GOD !!!!!! ALL IF THEM NOW IN 2024 , R.I.P. .
I’ve been a fan since the 1970’s! No sound quite like them! I love that rhythm and piano/slide guitar soloism! Jazzy blues funky souly rock with heavy southern influences!!!😎👌
NOLA
With you on that! Friend and I roadied for a couple of shows they played in the 1970's, local clubs. Working the setup, had no idea of what band, who was scheduled, just couple of dumb teens hustling a buck. Then, wow!!! Life long fans now.
Well put
And great lyrics!
Lowell and Paul, we miss you! R.I.P.
I saw them last night (four of the six in this video still playing) and they sounded great. The LG stand-in did the memory of George justice.
And....this is what the internet was really invented for. If it were possible, there's an even better version from another German T.V. show. This is simply sublime. UA-cam, the best time machine on the market.
What show is that? The one with the better version?
The internet is the second coming of the Library at Alexandria. Said to be the last time the whole of human learning was in one place.
You just witnessed musical genius!
That is the good stuff. It was a trip. So good to hear again, all the way through.
I never got to see Lowell George, but I've seen Little Feat a bunch of times. Some highlights were Little Feat completely blowing the Grateful Dead out of the water in Giants Stadium, and a night with the Allman Bros. and the Bros. didn't show, and we were treated to a glorious 3 hour Little Feat show. I love this band. I wish I could thank them for all the music and good times, but alas, so many of them are gone now...
Always heard Bonnie Raitt talk about Lowell George, I always loved digging up gems like Danny Gatton, Flying Burrito Brothers, I go all over. But only intill today I first listen to Lowell playing slide. I am 56. I remember hearing about Little Feat, but was fed other southern bluesy, jazzy, funky, music. Allman Brothers were great but with Little Feat each instrument stands out and is unique.
You got to try listening and I don't regret never seeing this and all we have is the present so enjoy.
Danny Gatton's "Red Neck Jazz:" It's a phenomenal piece of music artistry.
72 and met Lowell a bunch of times at Danny Huttons house. Had NO IDEA HOW TALENTED HE WAS OR WHO HE WAS. I WAS TOO YOUNG
Fortunate to see them. My favorite
@lynnadams7017 Joe Bonamassa took lessons from Gatton, and he said the fancy finger picking was too complicated. I am not a fan of Bonamassa but I don't dislike anyone.
This is probably the best band to ever hit the stage !!!
Swanky Southern Rock. . . Love it
The first date I ever went on with my future wife was to see Little Feat. Rode my 1952 panhead to the show. Summer of 1974
One of the top 3 road trip albums of all time! This album waiting for Columbus,got me coast to coast on several trans continental road trips in the early 80s.roll right thru the night,folks!
Billy's work is just magical!
This man (Lowell George) died when I was only twelve and I can hardly believe it, because his voice is still such a huge part of the music I first heard in childhood that is still with me to this day. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be Bill Payne when I grew up, lol. All thanks to my Dad, and his wonderfully diverse taste in music.
you dad sure new good music my bro turn me on to it but he is no longer with us. but they were fantastic in so many ways.
Billy Payne the only Texan in the bunch, who would have thunk it?
As a Who fan I wasn’t expecting much seeing them on the bill at Charlton 1976 alongside Alex Harvey etc and a very aggressive crowd! They were stunning.I learned later that around the time they were Jimmy Page’s faves!
Says it all! Never underestimate greatness!
I got my wish. I really wanted to hear Billy play this exact tune, and watch his fingers fly. I could not be happier, great footage!
The tragic loss of Lowell George 🌹🌹 🌹
“Obscurity”...... the fate of those amazing talents who don’t make ‘the bargain’.
Miss these fine musicians.
BEST live band I ever saw bar none.
Feets don't fail me now! 🦅🥾
I am here because Paul Barrere has just passed away :( Love his solo beginning at 8:20 along with Lowell.
R.I.P. to all the members of the band who passed way too soon....
as Mick Jagger said: Little Feat,the best rock and roll band ever...!!!
yes sir and a lot of people dont have a clue
Actually I think that was Jimmy Page, but Mick loved them, too.
Some of the most rockin, soufull stuff ever recoded.
This was Feat at their best! Ritchie's drumming was superb!
He gave them that special groove!👍
discovered this band today - instant fan
Welcome. Better later than never. Enjoy.
Always loved their music ! R.I.P. Lowell George ! Musical Respect to you all ! Billy Payne is a very talented pianist who can play any genres of music ! Bravo Guys!… Timeless band!
I realize this is UA-cam, it’s 12+ minutes long and I’m viewing for free - BUT, there something very fundamentally wrong with throwing an ad in during this phenomenal jam (at least there was when I viewed it).
saw these in the Palladium East , 1984, what a show
Lowell and I had an acoustic jam at Topanga Canyon Days in the late 70's. Then that night when his band (not Little Feat) played I got to sit in for a couple tunes. Was great fun. Lowell was the consumate performer.
Never got the recognition they deserved!! One of my top ten bands of all time. I always thought of them as A Southern rock/ New Orleans Jazz sound! What a great combination of sound and music styles! George's Voice is one of the best I've ever heard. Could sing a Lullaby then turn around and sing the funkiest blues rock sound ever recorded. Way underrated by the mainstream Vaginas, but fans like us know what real music is!
his fellow musicians always knew of his genius and his extreme way of living life. that was his way and his end.
What the hell kind of an anti-woman statement is that? You disgusting OLD WHITE DUDE.
@@patricias5122 what's the matter wrong time of the month to be reasonable
what is the mainstream Vaginas reference, if you please
Legend has it that when they had shows the first two rows by the stage were noted musicians trying to figure out how'd they do that. Don't quote me but I believe that Jimmy Page was a fan. Ian Paice mentioned Ritchie Hayward as top notch. Did anyone notice that Ritchie was killing on back up vocals? He was also a sketch artist, some people have too much talent!😎👍🔥
....Beyond classy...magical grooves.
