Lowell was such a phenomenal guitarist. Saw Feat at the Shrine Auditorium in LA in 1978 from the eighth row. Those were the days before Ticketmaster. Staying in line for tickets. A long line of Feat freaks. Those were the best days.
It's taken me a while to come around, but I think I finally get it with these guys. What a unique sound. Also this song is a tribute to Dr.John, unless I'm mistaken. Anybody who pays tribute to him is alright in my book!
Can someone tell me about Martin Kibbee? I looked up where he co-wrote Dixie Chicken and Rock and Roll Doctor. These are two of LF's best songs, but it hit me that he hasn't been heard from or little is known about his life and association with LF and Lowell George. I'd love to know. I'm a Feat Lifer, no matter how much the music changes, I still come back to Little Feat for great funk.
Interesting question. I have not met Mr. Kibbee, but a quick Google search suggests he was a childhood friend of Lowell. He played in Lowell’s band the Factory, and he may also have played in Fraternity of Man. There appears to be a Martin Kibbee interview in issue #12 of FeatPrints (Summer 1996) ripbang.com/FeatPrints/
@@redmiller1 Thanks I'll follow up on those leads and see what's up with him. Seems odd that he co-wrote some great songs and really hasn't been recognized. I've always thought R&R Doctor was one of the greatest songs ever written.
Yep, my all time favorite band. I lived in D.C.during this time period (including the "Lisnrr Auditorium shows in W 4 C.) So saw them 2 or 3 times a year, there or at Warner Theater
@@redmiller1 oh yeah. Lots great music, both touring, and local. Danny Gatton & The Nighthawks were local. So after Feat we'd head over to Georgetown to catch yhem

Lowell George is the rock n roll doctor
💯
Exquisite? Sublime? Whatever fancy word you want to use it’s badass

Very cool....I can picture that experience !
Could a dude possibly EVER look more cool than Lowell George during this performance? It’s impossible.
He was the king. My absolute favorite musician.
Two degrees in be-bop, a PhD in swing,
He's the master of rhythm he's a rock and roll king.
The perfect description of Lowell.
Wow Jack, thanks for that, I get to that point and scat! lol Man, I miss that guy.
Amen brother.
Fuck this is good.
Awesome band!! I miss them and Lowell !! Thanks for the post !!
....2023 and we've lost so many members of the FEAT.........may they all R.I.P.......
Words fail me. Exquisite?
Legendary
AWESOME

@@mattpeckham667 Dr John is a good guess. What about Allen Toussaint?
@@redmiller1 I could see that too. Either one !
This music is the best medicine in the World ! Book your appointment with the rock n roll doctor !
All I can say is wow ….. pure genius that will never ever be repeated
Wow, Lowell's really singing great here! Instrumental work not too shabby, either.

Funkolicious indeed! I can't stop my leg groovin'
Oh man , I remember this on WLIR Radio . Great Memories.
Damn, that's good.
Sound quality on this is excellent. There's a real spatial quality...at least as I sit at my desk with stereo speakers and subwoofer.
Thanks! I typically do a little remastering for the channel videos.
@@redmiller1 Sounds great. Lowell's voice is underrated just like the whole band was.
Lowell, I love ya, and I'm eating a whole pizza in your honor...
There are very very few songs ever written that come so close to perfection as does this song.
So sad about L.G.
Raise your Sears Roebuck 11/16th sockets in honor 🤘
No tricks. Just genius.
Yep, my all time favorite band.

Nice. Those must have been amazing shows!

“Two degrees in Bebop, a PHD in Swing…”
One of a kind
They did this live in Holland. Incredible version !!! Check it out.
It takes a man of some style like getting oil off a vine! ❤
It takes a man with a style I cannot often find
The best !
Fairly funky...
Great..Lowell George.
