Founded by Lowell George and Bill Payne in L.A. in 1969 they produced a series of highly original albums over the next decade featuring an eclectic blend of rock 'n' roll, blues, country, folk, soul and jazz before the death of Lowell George in 1979 brought the first phase of the band's existence to an end. This digital video captures the band's performance at the famous Dutch festival Pinkpop on 7 June 1976 and captures the band's classic line-up at the peak of their powers performing many of their best known tracks.

#LittleFeat #RockAndRollDoctor #LiveInHolland
It’s impossible not to smile, listening to LF. Everything they ever played, was just for the sheer funky pleasure of doing it. There’s no macho bombast or high pretense, just joy and groove.
The. R&R Hall of Fame will continue to have no credibility with me until The Feat are in it!!
you couldn't be more right and they are one of many that fall in that category but are very much at the top of the list. My ex-wife works at the Rock Hall I go to the job there about 8 years ago so that we could go to events we live in Cleveland and it worked out I wrote the resume she got in we went to lots of events including some rock and roll induction ceremonies. I would agree that the whole induction process and whoever votes for it and whatnot is pretty much a sham they make some good decisions on some roots of rock and roll artists and things like that who deserve it who nobody knows anything about I applaud that part of it but the people who get in before some other people for friendship and industry reasons because it's all comes out of New York and it's the decisions of a few is it travesty and embarrassing. Rock and roll is extremely important to me and to not have the votes of the musical community be the final say in this thing is unacceptable on every level. There's nobody like little George and little feet together what a group of musicians raw soul all in all the time putting their life out into it that's why people die in rock and roll because they're putting everything they got into it they should have been in the rock and roll Hall of Fame the very first day that they had come of age.
@@matthewmiller8965 My Cousin Bobby and the architectural firm he worked for designed the Rock Hall in collaboration with the late world famous Architect I.M.Pei.
R&R HoF is run by the promoters ( but they'll steal your money ) not by the best musicians
And Ten Years After.
That institution is irrelevant. They let people in who don't play rock. I mean, Dolly Parton? Hello? Then all that rap. What?
Rock hall is a joke....they will never get a penny of mine...so many great bands not in...yet they will put hip hop and country artists in..F#*" the rock and roll Hall of Fame
It didn't doesn't can't and won't ever get any better than vintage Little Feat.
I tend to agree with you. I've listened to >a lot< of rock music over the years and I keep coming back to these guys. It's sad, in a way, to think that the best music in history was played by these guys and a few other rock bands and artists. I'm glad I was here for it.
The algo brings me back here periodically - just long enough to forget how flipping brilliantly tight this performance is. Wowzers.
Living in Cincinnati around that time, a van full of us went down to Lexington to see them play... every time I hear them, I think of my departed sister, her favorite band...how I miss you so Jacklyn.
Lowell’s great slide sound is just amazing… instantly recognisable, he was also a very fine vocalist.
I couldn't agree more.
And a great song writer - the whole package.
It's still a mystery to me how you can play slide with a Sears and Roebuck lawnmower wrench on your little finger!
Two degrees in bee-bop, a Ph.D in swing. He's the master of rhythm. He's a rock n' roll king! Ain't it the truth.
One of the truly *great* lyric lines in rock!
I’ve been thinking about that all day today.
These guys were awesome -- Bill Payne is my favorite keyboardist of all time.
Saw them in Melbourne Australia and if they aren't the best band ever I want to know who is,? They had it all! Musicianship second fto none songwriting just the best! Seen them all Little Feat left them all for dead Inc the Rolling Stones,! So sad Lowell George passed away what vocals what a great guitarist?? What a great Songwriter he n Billy Payne were what a Pianist Billy Payne was, I could go on forever about fthis truly great Band!
Lowell was the rock and roll Doctor,
Everytime i think i've heard everything, Little Feat comes back to me.
Ay yi yi a snapshot in time. I saw them live only a year later and Lowell had ballooned up considerably and didn't look healthy. Three years after that, he was dead.
But here, at the peak of a few very short years of the ultimate version of the band performing, we get pure magic.
And Richie Hayward ftw forever.
One of the greatest bands ever !!!!!
Amazing singer, Lowell George. Just blows everyting else out of the water!
They were America's best band at the time. Got to see them in Glassboro NJ and they just blew the place apart.
At that time they were Lowell's band, dripping with rock and soul. He was an amazing slide player, backed by Paul Barrere, a masterful guitarist in his own right. An amazing influential rock band.
Lowell's Dumble sounds incredible the balance and tone are exquisite that slide is testifying
little compression to tighten things up. We always got digital modeling.
What a performance, that drummer was killin' it.
The little Feat Band... here I see Ritchie and the others, the softness and the pure musicalness here, we love music.
What a badass he was. Such a sweet sound from that guitar.
One of rocks greatest, and most unheralded, voices and bands. Their double live album is the best live album ever released.
Yes sir.
Waiting for Columbus?
My favorite all time album!
"Seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel..."
"Don't you know she's cold?"@@JonBestSpiritualCoachonEarth
Two degrees in be-bop, a PHD in swing
He's the master of rhythm he's a rock and roll king
Lowell left us way too soon.
One of the greatest lyric sentences in rock…ever!
This was the era I grew up in.
When it was real musicians we watched and admired, not posers pretty boys and imposters.
Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
As a member of that era I endorse your entire statement. Greetings from Knoxville TN.
Never gets old. Genius.
I'm obsessed with Little Feat.
💯
Nothin', short of genius!!!!
lowell was in fine voice here. great playing, too.
I'll take what Doctor Lowell George is prescribing!
This is Little Feat at its absolute best.
Excellent band,thank goodness for UA-cam,huh.Lowell’s daughter is a good singer too.
Lowell made house calls all over the world, and his medicine still holds.
Living in Scotland I never got to see this amazing band live. One of my biggest regrets.
Truly, the best boogie band ever.
the incomparable lowell george!
Awesome, thank you Lowell George, I have always been a big fan of little feat, but I have recently
Just started going crazy about the band, I have been listening to RocknRoll Doctor every day for awhile, I can't get enough.
Love little feat
RR Doc (and others) have that effect on me too. Mind and body sort of absorb this musical magic and hold onto it until it finally wears off. Nobody else like Feat, for sure.
Same herr
It’s hard to keep a band with that much talent together...they did it for awhile for which is very grateful
Two days before on 5th June 1976 Little Feat played at Celtic Park, Glasgow Scotland with The Who, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Outlaws, Streetwalkers and Widowmaker. A great concert!
Was at the concert at Swansea football ground in June 76 with my brother and cousin..same lineup as your Celtic one..The Who were the headline act..really enjoyed SAHB, but "The Feat" blew them all away!!! Fantastic concert..miss those days!
aside from the tremendous talent of ALL the players, what will always stick with me is what FUN this band seemed to take from their performances.......R.I.P Paul Richie and of course Lowell
Two degrees in bee-bop, a Ph.D in swing. He's the master of rhythm. He's a rock n' roll king!
I heard Bob Seger say in an interview that the Feats were musicians musicians. He added that they could have been a much bigger band, but the record company didn't market them properly. I became an instant fan after listening to FDFMN. Got to see them live only once, back in the late 90's.
Uup
Stones acknowledge the same. Idem the Doobie Brothers, who toured with Feat on numerous occassions. Bill Payne played on several Doobie albums and hits (fi China Grove)
The record companies and promoters screwed alot of musicians. Thanks for indy and the net and especially the return to live music for keeping things alive .
Zeppelin was all over the Feat. That's pretty much all they played for themselves during their '75 American tour....talent knows talent, even if the sound is very different...
Likewise. FDFMN was my introduction and I proceeded to collect every album before and after. Saw them 3 times in Austin in the late 70’s. The mold was broken.
When Rock and Roll was worth driving for miles to see a concert !
Little Feat played a concert in my hometown in 1976. Me and a few friends were hangin' outside the venue a coupla hours before the gig , having a "shmoke" and a black guy approached us. He waved at us and then asked " Do any of yuh white boys have a smoke ? " We could hardly refuse and ended up gasbagging about the Allman Brothers, George Duke, Zappa, guitarists in general. He got the picture that we were gaggle of hopeless music nutz . Anyway after about half an hour this woman came out and gestured to him and tapped the side of her nose. He smiled at her and said "Sure, but these boys coming along, too! " She coolly assessed us and laughed , we were escorted backstage and had some columbian refreshment. Eh I got to shake Mr George's hand and thanked him for coming to our nowheresville town. The concert was brilliant. BTW a short time later Weather Report played the same venue aand to this day I still cant really say which was the better performence , but I have an inclination to Little Feat
So...who was the black guy?
Great story!:)
Wow!! I had a similar experience at NYC Palladium 80s
Saw them in Birmingham, Alabama
Best show I ever saw. They were practically unknown
Shmokes, columbian refreshments and heavier stuff ruined so many careers and lifes of brillant musicians and artists - so I doubt if this really is a "great" story. And maybe the concert wasn't as "brillant" as your "refreshments".
These cats are way beyond the rock and roll hall of fame
Good gosh almighty, that was PHENOMENAL ❤
The very definition of "groove." Amazing band and Lowell was one of the greats as a singer and slide player.
Same year I saw them, with Bonnie Raitt opening and then coming back for the last part of The Feat to play dual slide guitar with Lowell. Exceptional show. Tightest band I've seen over the years, with the exception of Frank Zappa.
Bonnie Raitt, and Little Feat in their prime? That must have been an unforgettable concert!
@@321snoot It was ... and is.
@@RandomButtonPusher As an aside, I also saw Zappa many times over the years, and concur. We were very lucky back then to have so many great bands to see in concert. I'm 65 now, and cherish those memories.
How are these guys NOT in the HOF?
CRIME.
Because Jann Wenner's an idiot.
Cheap Trick is in the R&R HOF nuf said.
Crime indeed
I have no desire to go to the R&RHOF and their arbitrary selection of inductees just makes my case. Little Feat was a "band's band" as well as fan favorite. Traffic may have had a song called Rock & Roll Stew but the style was pure Little Feat whose wicked blend of blues, R&B, funk, folk, country, and rock was the most potent rock & roll stew ever until this day.
See the look on Richie's face? I would offer that if anyone can be THAT happy doing something they love and arrive at just a few moments of jot like that one, well. You can call your life a success. R.I.P. all of you. My life wouldn't have been the same with out youse.
Happy 50th to everyone in the Feat family...
The iconic Lowell George. Sweet!
A criminally underrated Band.
Ritchie was a groove monster.
That will be my new nickname.
I love the whole band but when I first saw them live, it's hard to not watch Ritchie - his drumming and expressions were priceless.
@@clafong9 I saw them in Jamaica a couple times. One night the stage was perpendicular to the beach. I stood behind the stage for a bit and got to watch Richie's solo for fat man from there. A fond memory. My wife, Lowell, Richie, Paul, I miss them all.
How, I ask you how are these cats not in the Rock N Roll hall of Fame ! Greatest ever
The Rock n Roll HoF is a joke that's why
Lowell is such a bad ass! :-)
This is a great performance - tricky song to play and he was truly great
Why isn't Little Feat in the Rock Hall?!!!! 😎✌❤🎶
Excellent!!! Thank you!!!..One of the BEST R & R bands of the 70s. What a collection of talented musicians.. Lowell sure did have "a PHD in swing"
Love Barrere's look at 3:13
Dave Updegrave I remember reading that right before the concert Paul was asking around for some coke but Jip Golsteijn (I believe) got him some very strong pot instead, Lowell wasn't too happy about that afterwards.
Dans toutes leurs chansons une intense émotion, Lowell y est pour beaucoup,
Excellent, Wonderful. Thank You for posting this.
RIP Sir Lowell
My soul gets the chills when I hear this shit
These dudes are locked right in -
Whooo, locked in is right.
What an awesome band - awesome footage and an awesome performance. Thank you so much :)
Lowell was the Rock and Roll Doctor. IYKYK.
Wow!one of the all time greats.
One of the best live performances I’ve seen in a long time
My Favorite LF Album ... The Last Record Album ... sidenote ... Robert Palmer did a great version of "Sailing Shoes" on his fantastic "Sneaking Sally Through The Alley" LP.
Lowell played on most of the songs on that album.
Lowell's voice is great here - he's hitting the high notes that he soon wouldn't even try. The man was such a talented musician, it really is a shame that he didn't stick around longer.
Agree 100% RIP Lowell
Feats never fail me. Great music. What a band!
The infamous Lowell purple shirt concert!!
Wicked slide, so tasty, great band! Lowell George was the real deal.
Legendary.
RIP the great Paul Barrere.
Yes. "If your phone don't ring you know it's me."
I was lucky enough to meet Paul when he, Kenny Gradney, and Fred Tackett did a little tour as Funky Feat not long before he passed away. They were just hanging out in the crowd on a break, and I shook Paul's hand and thanked him for showing up at our little venue in MA, telling him I saw Feat back in the mid-70's. He was a really nice guy and genuinely thankful for the kind words. Something I'll never forget. Thanks, Paul.
WOW! Never heard this live version before,they really do play great live, wouldn't mind seeing this concert on DVD
This is as good as it gets
So, so damn good! I can't stand how amazing this is!
To the Eight people who gave this performance a thumbs down, please step forward to receive a lengthy prison sentence!!!
Ryan Harris lmao! Yes
Seriously ? No taste in good music ..
Or the "New and Improved Miracle Ear"
Don't bother. All 8 are tone deaf, which is punishment enough.
And the stones arrogantly call themselves the “world’s greatest rock and roll band”! And I’m a stones fan but seriously!!!
Fuck....love that Richie Hayward...I just so love drummers who LOVE what they're doing......
And Sam...sorry...You guys were magic...are magic...will be my faves till I go down....love all of you
Wow, what a gem. Outstanding audio/video quality from their peak! Thank You!!
this is the real deal
Awesome!!! Caught myself grinding my teeth like the old days 😊
It doesn't get any better, had the opportunity to listen to this band since about 74 & seen them once, the waitng for Columbus L.P is a masterpiece, that c d has been all 4 corners of U S key west to Idaho, San Diego to Maine
Lowell George (April 13, 1945 - June 29, 1979) and his "Craftsman" socket wrench Bottleneck. Little Feat - Rock and Roll Doctor (Live In Holland 1976)
"....you know Sears & Roebuck?"
Lowell used a craftsman spark plug socket because it was heavy for a slide. He also could get a new one Sears anytime. Made a special sound.
Still the best music ever played, there's now band alike....
No other band sounded like Little Feat. One of a kind.
Can you imagine Linda Ronstadt (George's old flame) in this band?! My head exploding!
Literally the best band man.... So glad I had an old school friend show me the ropes with these guys and Waiting For Columbus. Such ridiculously good Music
Three degrees in BeeBop, PHD in swing, he's the master of rhytm he's the rock and roll king.
Badassery, every man jack of them. Also, nobody swings like Richie. Damn!
Thanks for posting this gem!!!
Country-Funk maybe a lazy term to describe their style of music, but you've gotta admit, it's groovy!
Yep like the best parts of the Dead and Allmans fronted by a rather ambitious Jackson Browne type would be the closest...although I like your genre definition better
SO SO love this. Thanks for posting.
My 1st Feat concert and standing right up front. Pre Columbus period where Lowell was at his brilliant best.
Pretty sure there’s a bootleg made of this specific concert.
Best rock band ever....come on!
In the mid 90’s I BS’d my way into getting Ritchie H on the phone asking him to come to a store I worked at. Got what seemed to be the obligatory “oh I’m not feeling well but I’ll try.”
He called back a couple of hours later saying “look I really don’t feel well but are you coming to the show? I’ll have 2 tix waiting for you.” There were 2 tix and 2 backstage passes. We went back after the show and chatted a bit. Very cool, down to earth. After a bit I said “well, thanks a lot we’ll get out of your hair.” To which he said “no sit down. Want some cheesecake? We have a ton of it. What kind of gigs you got?” Amazing.
Probably the only Doctor you'll ever need.
I love this band I did not know who they were up until 6 years ago.
Little Feat were easily one of the best bands of the 70's. Better late than never, Kimberly!
Best Rock r&b/ Evah!!!
the best was canned heat but these guys are right there too
@@rohantherockwiththerocketh7871 No offense to Canned Heat (or to you), but the musicians in Little Feat were much better and the band way tighter. No comparison.
This is your chance to ask questions to the Little Feat man, Bill Payne in a rare live Google Hangout.
Watch live Thursday May 8th at 3pm EDT / 8pm BST on UA-cam or www.BillPayneHangout.com

A gift from God..
So much to love about all of this video.
GODDAMN THAT'S SOME GOOD SLIDE!
Man this makes me smile every time I see it! 🐸
I was there 😊❤
That is one tight band! Tighter than the skin on a duck's arse. Great, great musicians, sadly unknown by many today.
Damn.
