Little Feat - Oh, Atlanta from "Skin It Back - The Rockpalast Collection"

[RocknLester2011]

Thanks Eagle!! this is class AAA!!

[aubreyaardvark]

full on best

[ilovebobthecat]

they are the fucking best--

[lowellgeorgefan1979]

Gotta love Lowell"s slide playing! Man was a genius!

[MaxVonStark]

I am from Atlanta. Discovered LIttle Feat as a college DJ back in the 70's. This should be Atlanta's Theme song....

[BDoctah]

No one could touch Little Feat. They were the openers on the European Tour in '75 for the Doobies but ended up the headliners cause the Doobies couldn't play their show due to crowd after the Feat played.

[tunamcdermot]

For my money, Leon Russell is as good as any of them.

[Polly6761]

What a great band......never duplicated...

[JuanOmegaIota]

It always eventually comes right back to this mofuggin band right here.

[1962jbk]

Oh people, are you serious? Billy Powell of Skynyrd doesn't even get a mention when we are talking about great rock keyboardists? Love Bill Payne too, but come on, Billy Powell was certainly one of the great ones!

[WestLAGuy]

When you sit down and list the truly great rock and roll/ blues/r&b piano players, I immediately think of Ray Charles, Leon Russell, Little Richard, Ian Stewart and Nicky Hopkins of the Rolling Stones, Chuck Leavell of the Black Crowes and now with The Stones and Elton John, Billy Payne for damn sure belongs in that group.

[jpsadventures]

This tune is all Billy Payne. 

[MrVaporized420]

he was one of the original mothers of invention with frank zappa,he had a damn good teacher

[oneyeopn]

I think Lowell George is the most underrated musician in the Modern Era..you listen to Little Feat and then to modern country music and tell me it Didn't start with Lowell and Little feat!!!

[TheStampedehero]

No Band Like LF That bogus Rock Hall inducted Rap Crap. No Feat,George,Doobies,Los Lobos,Tower Of Power,Average White Band,Roomful of Blues,Ronnie Earl,Marc Bonilla, Spirit,Tommy CAstro, PR &Raiders,Deep Purple..etc.

[kneapoe51]

@TheStampedehero Are you serious about Deep Purple not being in it? I know it's a screwed up situation there& all bands & artists mentioned by you SHOULD be/already been inducted. But Deep Purple.....along with Sabbath & argueably (some would argue not heavy metal) Led Zeppelin STARTED a new genre of music.There were others....but mainly those three. That late 60's early 70's stuff that they started evolved into what we all know as Heavy Metal. (imho) Can't believe the dumb shit the HOF decides!

[TheBirdman1943]

@Dedhedsurfer I agree...the first time I saw them live, I couldn't believe what I was hearing...as one posted said, it was like a religous experience

[TheBirdman1943]

Most underrated band of all time

[pechmiller]

Dayton Ohio around 1977 .I walked out of Hara Arena(after the live concert) and it was as if I had a religious experience.Prince was a close second in mpls around 1998.About a year later I heard Lowell died.

[ipykipyk]

Lowell's slide playing on this song is incredible!!

[zwukudu]

He was never underrated; he was a "musician's musician."

[keatsgipsy]

OH YA - lovin it!

[heyysailorr]

dontmatterhowold



[vtbertha]

This has been my favorite song since & was embryo! My mom was guaranteed to get me to kick by playing this song!

[scoutchuck]

Gotta love that "hit and run"!

[prunelogic]

I saw hendrix, the doors, miles davis, leonard cohen, john lee hooker, free, pete brown and piblokto yusef lateef, larry coryell, bb king, dylan, the band, joni mitchell, sly and the family stone, xtc, talking heads, dire straits, shocks lu mania captain beefheart, etc etc etc and this is the best band I have ever seen live..... all the members of this band are gods of music

[zakisber]

Skin it Back is one of the best concert DVDs out there, of any band's

[rossobass420]

I smoke a bowl in memory of George every time I put on Feat.

[stratobagster]

how about that natural finish strat with the rosewood neck??? ain't she gorgeous?

[xlabgirl]

Greatest damned band that there ever was. Miss you Lowell George and Ritchie Heyward!!

[ufofan1980]

Anyone notice that the greatest piano players that ever lived were named Billy?

Billy Payne?

Billy Powell?

Nice little pattern to grow on!

[ufofan1980]

@ufofan1980 Billy Joel too... 

[kittykittylickpurr]

crazy thing is they're still playing

[doodoobrown74]

4 People were too stoned to hit the correct button

[martock36]

@doodoobrown74 They need a check up from the neck up. Grab their collective wrists and check for a pulse.

[hiwyrobr]

Lowell George is amazing. He was everywhere when he was alive. He is definitely underrated. Those who know of him, know how great he is. God rest your soul my brotha!!!!

[RoughBoy1056]

"...sitting here thinking 'bout a red-haired dream, if I could only see her tonight..." Agreed, Lowell George was never underrated, even way back when he started off with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. But the REAL secret weapon in the Feat's arsenal was/is Bill Payne (keyboards) and the Tower of Power horn section...Aii-yiee Who-Dat?

[dandamagetoo]

not much better in this mean ole world than a good dose of the Feat

[bulletinman]

Not in the hall of fame? Neither is deep Purple or Thin Lizzy.

[jabnhook2]

@bulletinman I like both Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy a lot, but the Feat deserve the Hall a little bit more. All 3 will be there one day!

[inatizzy2]

Amazing!

[TheFatpath]

Probably the greatest live band ever.

[bluesfoo]

@TheFatpath

amen brother - top 5 of all time - no doubt

[rayjmama]

@TheFatpath except for Grateful Dead!

[TheFatpath]

Probably the greatest live band ever.

[Jewels2022]

Had this going through my head coming into ATL today - Oh Atlanta! Got to get back to you! :D

[pdgolf99]

little feat rocks,,,!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wang0fett]

also, 2:25

also who the hell thumbs downed this? whyy

[wang0fett]

1:14

fuck. yes!

[SupernalOne]

The women there in Atlanta

make you awfully glad it's only hit 'n' run

watchin' them play,

wish I was on one -

!!!! raunchy lyrics -- ;^)

[peregrinusnoctis]

@SupernalOne

"The women there in Atlanta/Make you awfully glad you come/Watchin' them planes/Wish I was on one"

However, live, he did fudge the lyrics, slightly.

[SupernalOne]

@peregrinusnoctis

OK, should have checkd the lyrics - guess I have a dirty mind :)

[georgemasiello]

ya...his career sort of hit a "dead end"....

[jaxgal618]

I can't believe how many people haven't heard of these guys. Been one of my favorites since '77. There's A LOT of incredible talent on that stage !

[kevinjohnmorris]

I was played Feats Don't Fail me Now in 1975 and I didn't know what hit me. We were all devstated when Lowell died and the band was never the same but still a fine band. Now we have to say goodbye to Richie who was definitely one of the finest rock drummers of all time. So laid back they were horzontal! HOY HOY!

[twowheelflyercr]

@kevinjohnmorris Ditto.Can't add any more ! !

[AnguaP]

RIP, Richie ... Now you're back with Lowell, who's probably been working out some Mothers stuff with Frank ...

[neccowaif9]

Love me some Little Feat, Ritchie will be so missed

[tcaruso2]

Highly creative fellow...sorry he died.

[Chigleybus]

Wish I'd heard these guys at their peak in the 70s. That guitar player sure could play...

[MichaelPatrick123]

that guy was so frick'n talented, what a band, what a shame

[MrMudclub]

What can you say except...Its Little feat.

[inatizzy2]

Bad Co does this but not BEAR as good!

[Kqvic]

@inatizzy2 Bad Company did a different song called "Oh Atlanta" written by Mick Ralphs. Little Feat's "Oh Atlanta" was written by keyboardist Bill Payne.

[villanova85]

Frank Zappa didn't think he was unferrated!

[0606SHACK1955]

Got turned on to the Feat at the U of Az in 1977 after buying Waiting for Columbus at Zips (3 albums for $9.99). Still can't get enough 33 years later!

[wnb55]

Thank you for this video, I saw them several times in different venues and at various stages in the band's history and at their peak....none were better.

[fidiricu92]

wonderful song

[saywhatmachine]

wow lowell george must be one of the most underrated musicians in music

[louiseduvee]

Yes, because after their 1st 2 albums, he never spent 3 days sober. I couldn't bear to watch him fluff line after line, falling down stairs...cleaning up vomit. they should have stayed in the studio, but no, the promoters wanted more than he could take. Bye-bye, baby, I hope you're not lonely in your '...rock n roll lovers / they lay in graves without flowers...'.

[equin0xia]

@louiseduvee

and who are you, that you know and saw all this?

[louiseduvee]

@equin0xia His friend. I wish some of the studio cuts from the first two albums were posted.

[direwolfmusic]

@saywhatmachine just making sure, you know lowell george is on the slide right? im sure you do, just hes not singing this one...

[saywhatmachine]

@direwolfmusic yea i am aware of that lol

[direwolfmusic]

@saywhatmachine haha sweet, you never know these days.. damn kids and their music. lol.

[svensverigeqx]

@saywhatmachine he is

[nashvillegirl63]

@saywhatmachine ..........>>>>>>>>>>>>> he was never underrated.. ..just short lived. Me and mine enjoyed his slide and cried when he was gone. God love him, he was a genious but what a troubled soul. We would all be blessed if he were still with us.

[fireblossom2u]

@saywhatmachine Those of us that listened to him and played at the same time knew he and Greg Allman were the kings of slide. Give Waiting for Columbus a listen. Some complain that there are some overdubs on that but I don't give that any credence. Either you can play or you can't.

[174FIRST]

@fireblossom2u you mean Duane Allman, not Greg

[fireblossom2u]

@174FIRST Oops of course. Yes. Duane.

[reahlswede]

@saywhatmachine Yes,.. he was....

[TheAlistairDick]

@saywhatmachine Gotta agree there. He was a class act in every way

[chrisguygeezer]

@saywhatmachine erm............. no.



[AK2927]

Sam on the drums?? Never seen that before!

[BrushApe66]

WOW, AK2927...Neither had I, but all of a sudden, that trend w/southern rock bands to have 2 drummers makes PERFECT sense, doesn't it?

[xSoilderx]

Nice one! Thanks ER!

[rosagal5]

Class :))
