Little Feat

One fantastic bunch of musicians. You Tube has a ton of music from this liveshow in 76. Great quality stuff.

AMEN

Saw them several times in my youth before they broke up after Lowell George's death in 79. Glad they reunited. My family gave me tix to the Feat show in Newport a couple of years ago, still one of the best live shows out there. Love the socket for a slide.

I got to see Little Feat at The Orpheum in Beantown when Lowell George was still alive - of all the bands I've seen live it was probably the most impressive performance - both as a group and individually as musicians. Man, they were tight as a crab's ass, too - even then it was obvious they didn't start playing together yesterday.

Speaking of yesterday, I wanna say that's about the time of the Dixie Chicken release, maybe earlier.

Richie Hayward - the drummer - was unbelievable, he brutalized the drumset and Lowell George was incredible - what a sad loss to suicide.

You're all gonna get tired of me playing remember when - but it's nice to still be able to remember when...

Hayward is the best and most complete drummer I've ever seen and I've seen a lot, the likes of Keith Moon, Bonzo, Carl Palmer, Ginger Baker, Barriemore Barlow and on and on and on.............

I like stories.
I unfortunately only saw them at the Melody Tent about a decade ago but followed them from afar. They are a lot more advanced that your average band for sure.
I enjoyed finding him on a few Zappa albums too.
I think my 2 favorite tunes are Spanish Moon and Juliette, awesome tune.

Spanish Moon, Professa! One of their best -

Robert Palmer did a cover of it when he first started getting recognition here which was actually pretty good - middle '70's or so...

Marc Broussard also did a recent cover - they play it on WMVY a lot -

Dang ya, Paul - now I'm gonna be up late going thru my CD re-issues

waiting for columbus is an awesome album

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I was lucky to have an older brother who is a stereophile.....Feats don't Fail Me Now was on heavy rotation on his stereo..
It sounds like they were, and still are a great band after Lowell George died...

Great to read about the Feat. I still miss Lowell. And I am thrilled to see someone give props to Richie Hayward - the most underrated drummer in the business. He is not a speed merchant (wasn't the style of the band's music) , but he kept that funky beat like no one else.

2 degrees in Bebop, a PhD in swing, he's the master of rhythm, he's the rock and roll king.

Great band
