@tedmoery6091 I couldn,t agree more. To me they're special because they are way too hip for that stupid hall of Fame. The Feat go right over the heads of those people.
I don't consider the "rock and roll" hall of fame to be any kind of representative of a large portion of the rock and roll listening public. I personally prefer to think of them as the Pop Music Hall of Fame. We can all cite a few and many of us, dozens of overlooked highly eligible solo performers and groups that those corporate appeasing bastards have been overlooking for years.
Lowell's slide solo in Rock and Roll Doctor is dripping with funk and sensuality. Thumbs up ya'll if you want Little Feat in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame!
+DucksDeLucks The fact that LF aren't in the HoF means that it don't mean a thing. Some great actors never get an Oscar, but that doesn't diminish their talent. Just means some judges got custard for brains...
You got that right. There are many, many talented people who aren't better known either because they didn't fit the music business' idea of what would sell, or they just weren't in the right place at the right time to get noticed. That doesn't change the reality of their talent. Hats off to all the fine musicians who keep playing for the love of it, whether they become famous or not.
When I was at RRHOF last June LF had almost half of the exhibit dedicated to '70s L.A. Sound' with thier stuff, including two Lowell George Strats. How can The Eagles, Jackson Brown and Linda Ronstadt be in there, and not LF? Fucktardary... BTW put in Eric Johnson and Joe Satriani before they die, or worse yet can't play.
Little Feat has, by far, been my favorite concert (early ’76). Stood 10 floor rows back. Early on I got so 'energized' I managed to coax about 400 people behind me to get up off the floor and join the party. A newspaper article the next day stated how awesome LF was and how they out-performed the headliner, ELO. We left after their first song. As ELO sings “Don’t Bring Me Down”! Well they did! Sorry ELO fans. Just not a match. Outpunched. Grateful Feat fan.
@@keithh624, Grateful Feat fan? You trippy hippie, HAHAHA!!! We went to see Little Feat in Madison, Wisconsin tripping our brains out! "Madison, that bastion of socialism" ... according to Fox News, HAHAHA!!!
I had never heard of Little Feat they opened for the Allman Brothers outdoor concert in Santa Barbara ,CA 1975. and they kept me on my-feet their. Whole set.The album “Waiting on Columbus “ easily in my top 5 most listened to Albums.
I'm 30. my dad has a musician's heart -he passed that on to his sons. got to see the Stones, Neil Young, Allman Brothers, Eagles among others, together. BUT, he always said "you'll never see a band like Little Feat when Lowell was kickin' " peace.
I would really love to hear his isolated vocals as well. LEGIT vocal harmonies. Do you hear that high harmony vocal sitting on top of everything? That's him. Everyone in this group brings multiple dimensions of professionalism. I would give anything to play in a band of this caliber.
I briefly met him once , after an Atlanta show ( 2009 , maybe??) Really easy goin , nice guy - I tried to see if LF may be interested in playing a festival in our home town , on the waterfront- we had had Blues Traveler the year or so before- he said , sure - only problem was the county wasn’t willing to pay any premiums for entertainment that coming year . It would’ve been a heck of a show if The Feats could’ve played!! Rest In Peace , PB.
I was listening to this in high school in the eighties while everyone else was listening to the eighties trash music. This blew me away. Real talent on display here. One of the tightest bands ever.
I remember when they came to London on this tour and how they blew everyone away with their incredible live shows. They'd had a coupla modest hits in the UK, and this tour launched them and their album sales. They were the real deal, Lowell was one in a million, such a gifted man, the rest of the boys weren't too shabby either! Funky as all gets out...❤❤❤
a Fabulous band/group uncontested in what they did which was simply make great music. These guys should without doubt be in the RnR HOF. Nobody like them ever before or since. Soul, Funk, Blues, Rock n Roll. Coolness personified. Love the Feat to death.......
I was born in 1968, so I'll be 50 soon. I was 9 years old in 1977. I'm not stoked to be middle-aged, but I almost wish I could trade 10 years of my life to be born in 1958 so I could've have been old enough to see shows like this. The 70s were truly the apex of rock's potential. Great post - thank you.
No shuck, no jive. That is Little Feat. That band distilled all the Blues n Funk n R&B n real country music into tasty sonic brandy. They were superb. They just do not make em like that no more. Their influence cannot be fully measured. The music that influenced them certainly will never be fully measured. Thank you fellas. Lowell, Paul, Richie...RIP.

True...but they are one of many amazing groups that have been forgotten including.... GFR ( Grand Funk Railroad ) Steppenwolf For me there is no Rock-n-Roll HOF until GFR & Steppenwolf get in ! Come-on man... they are the definition of ROCK AND ROLL ✌😎
I'm a very old keyboard player, 55 years playing in every kind of semi-pro band. I've played with terrible drummers, competent drummers and one or two very good ones. But Ritchie Hayward was simply magnificent. On a different level. And Little Feat the best band I ever saw. I was in the audience on this video. Unforgettable.
Wonderful. So far behind the beat and perfect for this band. Not many drummers could do what he did and stand out. Always trying new things and throwing new beats into the mix. I love just watching him. His suffering as he endured his fatal illness was a tragic example of the disasterous U.S. medical system. He looked a great, happy, wild guy
I saw them at the Capitol theatre in 78 So intense that i literally passed out. Some people caught me as i was falling. Got up and went back in to see the rest of the show 😀.
I saw the Feat at San Diego State University Amphitheater in '78. I was completely blown away by the band and a haze of Mexican smoke over the whole place. Unforgettable experience. Thanks, Feat. Thanks, Tower of Power horns.
I saw this show at Honolulu University Amphitheater June of 1978 and this to this day one of the greatest concerts I've ever witnessed. I was visiting my dad for a few months after graduating from HS and decided to go by myself and as I sat down next to people I didn't even we all had the best time, singing, dancing and oh boy did we party!!! it was one of the best times of my life. You know if you ever want to go back to a moment in time, this is one of those times. If anyone has a video of one or two moments please post. Little Feat was the best.
Man did I love this band!, they played at Shaes in Buffalo, the balcony was shaking, after the 'last' encore, they turned on the lihght and played the music, broke down half the set, nobody left, screaming more, you could see people peeking through the curtains...after about 10 min, they had to come back on and play a slow one LOL.....what a concert...not one person left!
Great band, dem boys !! In drumming circles, I don't believe Ritchie Hayward ever got enough recognition. Unique player, playing unexpected stuff nightly & staying perfectly in-time while doing it. Great stuff.
I saw them in 1979 at Shippensburg college. I seem to remember about 60 people on stage. They had like 30 horn players. Best show I've ever seen in the last 35 years. RIP Lowell. You were one of a kind.
Awesome Little Feat ~ New Year's Eve in Houston Texas for several years in a row in the mid 70's ~ Went to see them Always!! What a Way to Ring in the New Year!! What a Voice ~ Rock & Roll at it's Finest!!
Saw them numerous times, but a classic was seeing the band with lowell george at my school in 1978. They did waiting for Columbus and they were backed up by pure prairie league and the tower of power. I believe I paid, seven dollars
Saw the Feat in 1976 supporting The Who, they were the most unbelievable band, so versatile, Richie just blew my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unfortunately Lowell passed but I still got to see the Feat so many times all those years later. To stand next to Dave Gilmour in the Town and Country Club, Camden, North London and see them blow everyone away was something else!!! RIP Richie and Lowell.
A- everything else comes after that. Lowell's Dad was a Furrier to the Stars in La-la land. Paul's 2 Solos:Real Lies after On My Own Two Feat led up to the Blues Busters' two LPs on Landslide - a nice mix of Feat & Dixie Dregs. The Wax Museum used to show Feat videos w/ Linda, Nicolette, Emmylou &/or Bonnie. I taped one of The 1st Blues Busters' Shows as a Duo: Catfish & Paul. Paul said he "wrote Dream for Bonnie; she didn't want it so we did it." & Tears fell quietly as the wheels on a Maxell XL-S 90 went round & round. Fukkin' NWAir LOST all of my MASTERS! When Paul started Willin' he said "This is for Lowell- wherever you are." More quiet, BIG Tears fell... I loved ADAMS in DC- Murphy was the only Sndmn & the Coolest person. He was welcome of course but the ONLY thing he said he actually wanted was a hilarious Henny Youngman Show. Like a machine gun - 🐄💨
What a band and what a show,just before my time but grew up way aulder mates that talked about and listened to such greatness but better late than never,so many thanks for this quality upload.
Been a fan of this band from the Quartet days, so sad to hear of Paul Barrere's death this week. Paul was such a kind person, I managed to catch him at a stage exit and he was kind enough to sign a concert poster I had brought with me. I asked him where the rest of the guys were, he took me backstage and to a rear exit out to their tour bus !!!! Holy crap, he had everyone sign for me, I was floored, how many rock stars are going to do that ??? Anyway, I will never forget Paul and the boys, I am filled with grief tonight so I'm gettin out the records !!!! ( that's right, I said RECORDS!! )
Feat and the band. Live there was none better there are a lot of good and great bands BUT LIVE 4 ROWS BACK AND HAVE'N PARTAKEN WOW JUST F'N WOW I CAN FEEL GOOD JUST REMEMBERING
Once in a lifetime...Ain't nothing ever again, like this volcano exploding...And, honestly, I don't believe there ever will be...I saw the band - 1978 in Chicago...So there...Watching this, listening, it brought fucking tears to my eyes...Not for the passing of time - my time, from those days, but entirely different sad boogie - never again - I am certain, will music be this final (God given)
What an awesome show. They had the magic that night.......so tight and deeeeeep pockets. Anyone who doesn't understand what all the fuss was about when people talk about Little Feat need to watch this show......+ Mick Taylor and the Tower of Power horn section. It doesn't get any better than this. Thanks for posting this.
Sensational, moving. To this day (62) the best rnr band ever. Greeting from Italy, where they once performed in Chiari (already post dear Lowell genius George departure. Grandi. Naturalmente ho anche il CD.
I saw them twice. Once in a coffee house with the original four man lineup in 1973 in Atlanta (good) and in Boston in 1978 (like this lineup). No show I've ever seen was better than that Boston show. No band has ever matched their incredible "hesitation beat" swagger. The whole band was individually excellent at various points in the show while Lowel G's voice and slide tied it all together.
They be doin it. Nobody did it better. So many good cuts I lost count. Very bands are as good or better live than on recording. Little Feat was one heck of a band. They be doin it .
Heard a band in fells point Baltimore play oh Atlanta who put that on vinyl. And I listened to the album then I was hooked. My girlfriend (now wife) went with me to see them in concert then she was hooked. Seen them live at least 10 times and never disappeared. They played at a concert hall/club Bohager's and somehow met Paul Barrere and Richie Hayward and talked to them for 45 minutes or more. What a thrill. They deserve to be in the rock and roll HOF.
Can't deal with the greatness! Effing Tower of Power! Such incredible music. Great footage. This band IS IN OUR ROCK N ROLL MEDICINE. I NEED IT and I WANT IT and I LOVVE it!
In 1977 I was 20 and I was living in London. How could I miss this concert? At the time I was looking in other directions (should be spanked!). What a great concert this was! The best Little Feat line-up with special guest Mick Taylor (former Rolling Stones) and the best Tower of Power horns ever (Emilio Castillo, Doc Kupka, Greg Adams, Lenny Pickett & Mic Gillette). This is a historical event! Greetings from Portugal.
Was there at the time, everyone was there just too see Little Feat and no one else, The Doobie Brothers came on after this as they were top of the bill, they said afterwards they didn't know how to follow LF after their set. The reaction from the audience, well, we just went mental.
I saw them in '77 or '78 at Sienna College near Albany, NY. Front row. The best concert I've ever see. I was a huge fan before the concert and they did not disappoint. They even surpassed my high expectations. I do miss Lowell.I have seen them perform a couple times since his passing and while they are always very good, it was just not the same magic. Every time I hear this music it brings me back and I am so thankful for having had the chance to experience them at their best.
Saw them with Lowell in Madison, Wisconsin. Can always say "I saw them with Lowell tripping my brains out on acid"! Can say the same for Dixie Dregs & the Hellecasters.
I have watched many Little Feat concerts over the years but I must say that this video puts all the rest in the rear view mirror. What a Feat it must have been to film this video. And whoever edited it was amazing. Is there any more of these videos around? Kudos to you for putting it out there.
Brings back memories and lots of smiles from when I saw them in Kansas City in 1978. Still the best concert I ever attended from one of the tightest bands ever! Fabulous syncopation.
Ain't a " hall of fame" big enough or important enough for dem Feat. Stay free, boys. Fans present and future know the truth!
@tedmoery6091 I couldn,t agree more. To me they're special because they are way too hip for that stupid hall of Fame. The Feat go right over the heads of those people.
Maybe just maybe they are just to good for the r and r hall of fame!!!
LL-weasels ate my flesh=Zappa plus feat =brilliant!!!
There was Rock and Roll and then there was Little Feat, a genre of their own.
I don't consider the "rock and roll" hall of fame to be any kind of representative of a large portion of the rock and roll listening public. I personally prefer to think of them as the Pop Music Hall of Fame. We can all cite a few and many of us, dozens of overlooked highly eligible solo performers and groups that those corporate appeasing bastards have been overlooking for years.
Lowell's slide solo in Rock and Roll Doctor is dripping with funk and sensuality.
Thumbs up ya'll if you want Little Feat in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame!

Spanish Moon!!! The greatest, funkiest, most underrated rock and roll song of all time!
Little Feat, the band that the other best bands of the time heard, and said, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We wish we could do that! !!!!!!!
THE SINGLE GREATEST UNDERRATED BAND OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lowell you are still missed greatly!!!!!!!!

God I miss these guys! Lowell George and Little Feat should be in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!

+ainthurtinnobody Nothing more needs to be said!! You just stated it!
+tjbenedi And there's a facebook page just for that discussion.
You can't beat Feat.
+tjbenedi Yes...LET'S GET THEM IN...THIS YEAR...

peace.
I was there aged 18 and it is still the BEST concert I ever went to.
Can we get some love for the drummer? He's one of my favorites. I'm in thrall of his funky grooves!
Jimmy Page had his eye on Ritchie Hayward.
Iowa boy, doncha know.
The late Ritchie Haywood. RIP
@@jeffblack5024 Ritchie played in Robert Plant's touring band, '83 to '85.

Doesn’t get better than this
R.I.P. Lowell, Richie and Paul. You're all SO missed.
Couldn't said it any better
RIP Paul Barrere. My son has been Feat's guitar technician for about 9 years. A huge loss to all of us. 💔
@Mo Meek I think he was a good with Lowell and We love it !
Paul Barrere, all time great. 💯
God Bless your Son and the talent he Earned
I certainly hope His good fortune will extend far into the future
I briefly met him once , after an Atlanta show ( 2009 , maybe??) Really easy goin , nice guy - I tried to see if LF may be interested in playing a festival in our home town , on the waterfront- we had had Blues Traveler the year or so before- he said , sure - only problem was the county wasn’t willing to pay any premiums for entertainment that coming year . It would’ve been a heck of a show if The Feats could’ve played!!
Rest In Peace , PB.
for sure Peace
I was listening to this in high school in the eighties while everyone else was listening to the eighties trash music.
This blew me away. Real talent on display here.
One of the tightest bands ever.
Same here in Munich, Germany. I was ridiculed by my peers for listening to the Waiting for Columbus album every day all day, but what else could I do?
Same thing in 2024 as a college kid. Was the start of the end back then
All that and no auto tune in a 50 mile radius!!! The best band ever!!! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame BIG TIME ! Do it yesterday!!!
R&RHOF is unworthy.

Along with Lynyrd Skynyrd at Knebworth this is the best band that ever played on British soil.
And both bands blew the Stones off the stage
Two of my favorites since the early 70’s
a Fabulous band/group uncontested in what they did which was simply make great music. These guys should without doubt be in the RnR HOF. Nobody like them ever before or since. Soul, Funk, Blues, Rock n Roll. Coolness personified. Love the Feat to death.......

so thankfull for your point
probably justin bieber fans :-)
mitch reno-Pea brained assholes do.

When I found about these guys I bought every album. Lowell George has a place on my stereo wall. Lowell and Leon Russel rule rock from there.
This is shame: Little Feat is not in the Rock and Roll of Fame!!! That is insane!
Went through the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Can recommend it... but... whew, there are are some big omissions.
R&RHOF is unworthy.
Little Feat is in my Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (.)
True...but they are one of many amazing groups that have been forgotten including....
GFR ( Grand Funk Railroad )
Steppenwolf
For me there is no Rock-n-Roll HOF until GFR & Steppenwolf get in !
Come-on man... they are the definition of ROCK AND ROLL ✌😎
Banana Rama is in the RR HOF? It's a joke
Tower of Power is killing it.
What a great recording. I love Little Feat
Still get goosebumps listening to this! One of the greatest bands of all time!
Agreed. Certainly the greatest live band I ever saw. I was there that night. Unforgettable. I still miss Lowell.
no doubt
Erwin Schonfeld amen 🙏
Is that why they wouldn't even make the top 100 of bands?
Just one of the all-time greatest bands.
They were just amazing
Really, is that why you could offer 100 people a thousand dollars, and maybe one could name them as the band who played "Dixie Chicken" ?
Spanish Moon !!!! I have been listening to that song for some 38 years now and I still love it !!
wlines Warren Haynes played and sang Spanish Moon at the Feat concert in Asheville while back
"Waiting for Columbus" was the first album I bought after coming out of the Marines, I played it so much I have it memorized.
Congratulations on having great taste in music and THANK YOU for your service!!!!! 😎✌️🇺🇸
A Ritchie Hayward shuffle try being a drummer and play that freakin thing guy was a monster how do you get better than these guys. Legendary!

I saw them at the Capitol theatre in 78
So intense that i literally passed out. Some people caught me as i was falling. Got up and went back in to see the rest of the show 😀.

😄 Lowell often got crazy with him playing different things on songs every night! Ritchie went with the feeling!
He’s already sweating buckets in the first song😅, must be that chocaine. When I listen to him I realize just how much I took out of his playing.
I always loved Little Feat. Such a shame they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This is nothing short of sensational live music, can't believe how good these guys are.
Absolutely AWESOME.....the best hands down....RIP lowell
I saw them in 1979 at Shippensburg college. I seem to remember about 60 people on stage. They had like 30 horn players. Best show I've ever seen in the last 35 years. RIP Lowell. You were one of a kind.

More quiet, BIG Tears fell... I loved ADAMS in DC- Murphy was the only Sndmn & the Coolest person. He was welcome of course but the ONLY thing he said he actually wanted was a hilarious Henny Youngman Show. Like a machine gun - 🐄💨
ABSOLUTELY GREAT ! Wonderful concert, Brilliant Band ! Thx for posting !
And many fond memories of seeing them perform live! I was proud to be a Feat Freak!
Amazing performance & a great audience !
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a lifetime Feats fan, seen them 13 times including their 50 Anv. Your this year. This is a kick-ass show, great video!
Saw them once with Lowell in '78. It was the best concert I'd ever seen.
What a band and what a show,just before my time but grew up way aulder mates that talked about and listened to such greatness but better late than never,so many thanks for this quality upload.
Thanks Lowell for the slide solo...this Man cannot be replaced...often Imitated..But Never duplicated
One of the best bands ever!still love hearing their sound.
Wow!
I'd never heard 'Teenage Nervous Breakdown' by 'The Feats' until this very day... I have been deprived!
Newcastle July 77 drove down from Edinburgh to see them straight after work one midweek night best 300 miles ever driven!
Been a fan of this band from the Quartet days, so sad to hear of Paul Barrere's death this week. Paul was such a kind person, I managed to catch him at a stage exit and he was kind enough to sign a concert poster I had brought with me. I asked him where the rest of the guys were, he took me backstage and to a rear exit out to their tour bus !!!! Holy crap, he had everyone sign for me, I was floored, how many rock stars are going to do that ??? Anyway, I will never forget Paul and the boys, I am filled with grief tonight so I'm gettin out the records !!!! ( that's right, I said RECORDS!! )
Tower of Power horns, with Mic Gillette. One of the greats.
Agreed about rower of power horns
Sho Nuff,
If your gonna have horns...TOP horns from this era were the ONES.
They put me over the top every damn time.
Let's not forget Lenny Pickett!
Feat and the band. Live there was none better there are a lot of good and great bands BUT LIVE 4 ROWS BACK AND HAVE'N PARTAKEN WOW JUST F'N WOW I CAN FEEL GOOD JUST REMEMBERING
Truly one of the greatest bands ever...
Absolutely amazing!
Once in a lifetime...Ain't nothing ever again, like this volcano exploding...And, honestly, I don't believe there ever will be...I saw the band - 1978 in Chicago...So there...Watching this, listening, it brought fucking tears to my eyes...Not for the passing of time - my time, from those days, but entirely different sad boogie - never again - I am certain, will music be this final (God given)
I was at that show in Chicago. Great times.
Additional comment: the percussion is so amazing. Entire band beyond tight. All I want in this life of mine is some damn good clean fun.
I love Little Feat!! Sometimes I can't help starting to dance🎵🌀❤️👏🎶 Oh, yes! Keep me moving! Thank you!💐
Yes ! “ Feats don’t fail me now “. 💥💥💥💥
Ritchie Haward, by far one of the greatest drummers to walk this earth. His natural ability to groove is unmatched.
What A treat. Thank you for sharing
What an awesome show. They had the magic that night.......so tight and deeeeeep pockets. Anyone who doesn't understand what all the fuss was about when people talk about Little Feat need to watch this show......+ Mick Taylor and the Tower of Power horn section. It doesn't get any better than this. Thanks for posting this.
They need to listen tripping on acid. Then they'd understand.
Glad all you people got into FEAT THAT IS AWESOME.
Sensational, moving. To this day (62) the best rnr band ever. Greeting from Italy, where they once performed in Chiari (already post dear Lowell genius George departure. Grandi. Naturalmente ho anche il CD.
Man they were one of the best, and especially live.
One of the best live bands ever. So tight! Wish I could’ve seen enm. Thanks for the video
I saw them twice. Once in a coffee house with the original four man lineup in 1973 in Atlanta (good) and in Boston in 1978 (like this lineup). No show I've ever seen was better than that Boston show. No band has ever matched their incredible "hesitation beat" swagger. The whole band was individually excellent at various points in the show while Lowel G's voice and slide tied it all together.
They be doin it. Nobody did it better. So many good cuts I lost count. Very bands are as good or better live than on recording. Little Feat was one heck of a band. They be doin it .
I wore out my "Waiting for Columbus" album
TOP 20 ALL TIME
Heard a band in fells point Baltimore play oh Atlanta who put that on vinyl. And I listened to the album then I was hooked. My girlfriend (now wife) went with me to see them in concert then she was hooked. Seen them live at least 10 times and never disappeared. They played at a concert hall/club Bohager's and somehow met Paul Barrere and Richie Hayward and talked to them for 45 minutes or more. What a thrill. They deserve to be in the rock and roll HOF.
Can't deal with the greatness! Effing Tower of Power! Such incredible music. Great footage. This band IS IN OUR ROCK N ROLL MEDICINE. I NEED IT and I WANT IT and I LOVVE it!
In 1977 I was 20 and I was living in London. How could I miss this concert? At the time I was looking in other directions (should be spanked!). What a great concert this was! The best Little Feat line-up with special guest Mick Taylor (former Rolling Stones) and the best Tower of Power horns ever (Emilio Castillo, Doc Kupka, Greg Adams, Lenny Pickett & Mic Gillette). This is a historical event! Greetings from Portugal.
Little Feat put out tons of kick ass studio albums, but these guys always did it even better live! That's true greatness!
5 star tripe. Extra brilliant performance uniquely live and new to me. Right on, thanx.
Raw Talent , always fun!!! Always loved them!🏁🏁🏁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👍👍 Everybody did!!!!
I could listen to this all day. OH WAIT. I AM.
Glad to say I was there! Best band ever!
Was there at the time, everyone was there just too see Little Feat and no one else, The Doobie Brothers came on after this as they were top of the bill, they said afterwards they didn't know how to follow LF after their set. The reaction from the audience, well, we just went mental.
i grew up with this band even an album on vinyl. PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!!!!!!!!
I saw them in '77 or '78 at Sienna College near Albany, NY. Front row. The best concert I've ever see. I was a huge fan before the concert and they did not disappoint. They even surpassed my high expectations. I do miss Lowell.I have seen them perform a couple times since his passing and while they are always very good, it was just not the same magic. Every time I hear this music it brings me back and I am so thankful for having had the chance to experience them at their best.
+Chip Carney I saw them in OKC, '77. Best band I ever saw. This lineup was the band, period.
Nothing I can add to any of yhis. I tip my hat and my glass to this band. And Lowell George. He just has IT.
Dude I was there with you - 9/27/78 at Siena in Albany. Great show. And we can always say we saw Lowell...
Saw them with Lowell in Madison, Wisconsin. Can always say "I saw them with Lowell tripping my brains out on acid"! Can say the same for Dixie Dregs & the Hellecasters.
OMG : at 44:15 the gorgeous MICK TAYLOR joins Lowell on stage. What a treasure to hear and see this. This band rocks !!!!
I have watched many Little Feat concerts over the years but I must say that this video puts all the rest in the rear view mirror. What a Feat it must have been to film this video. And whoever edited it was amazing. Is there any more of these videos around? Kudos to you for putting it out there.
Definitely a great great band!! One of a kind!!!
They were dearly beloved here in ol St Louis. Worshipped.
Bloody 'ell I'm here again!!
when I was 25, my new sourdough friend from New Milford, Conn in Ketchikan AK in1979 was a feat fanatic. I am forever indebted. Thanks, Shawn
boys on fire...all these years ...still miss you lowell ...pure genius
Brings back memories and lots of smiles from when I saw them in Kansas City in 1978. Still the best concert I ever attended from one of the tightest bands ever! Fabulous syncopation.
