The "Hotel" referred to in the lyrics of this rock classic...remind me not of an actual hotel...rather the cold cell @ the county jail....no room service there either! nor a pina colada
I saw Feat at a jazz club with tables and drinks and all. At the end Lowell says, "you can dance if you want to!!" and everybody got up and the tables and drinks were frlying. the manager was freaking out.. greatest feat concert I ever saw.
This is an awesome recording. At the end the band is going into the intro for Dixie Chicken, but I cannot find the whole of the song at this show. Really would like to hear it.
I think I am the only person who views this from England. And even at 16, I can appreciate the magic of Lowell's slide at 4:10 onwards. They were such a slick band with a beautiful sound. Definitely the most underrated band of all time.
I got to see them in 2004, and then we got to eat and meet with the band, it was a surreal experience, some of my biggest musical heroes, and here i am shaking hands with them and sharing fucking shrimp cocktails. a dream come true; to say the least. and i'm certainly glad i got to see Richie Hayward and meet him before his untimely death somewhat recently. may he rest in peace. Feats Forever! hoy hoy hoy
Lowell knocked me out the first time I heard him...and then he got better. I grew to appreciate the excellence of the rest of the band after a few albums but Lowell was special. I wish they'd stopped using "Little Feat" when he died.
@Sincopare You bastard, your right, but that still dont mean he wasnt ever not hot shit. ya dig what im saying man? plus I heard he died waiting for a liver the poor fuck...i hate waiting. RIP. Richie.
waitin' for Doc Watson to take the stage in a little coffee shop in Chicago they dropped the needle on Cold, Cold, Cold. A brand new release. I've been a nut for Little Feat ever since. Thanks for the memories!
I saw The feat with Lowell at Millersville State collage in Pa. I think In 77 or 78 The best show I ever did see. Very small gym. It was tradgic when I was passing through Richmond after work and was going to see Lowell solo. On the way, I found out he died In Crystal City. Geniuses have a hard time...I wonder why?
A remarkable line-up of all-star musicians that demonstrate such great balance between each other...it's unparallel to any other band I've ever heard or seen. Thank you for posting this!
I am truly blown away by this video, I can't stop playing it. Lowell George left us to soon. Thankfully Little Feat still plays today. I won't ever miss a chance to see them...my personal favorite live band ever, just edging out Colonel Bruce & ARU, Allman Bros. and Leftover Salmon. I have seen them all, it gets no better for me!!
@gatorcarter he was doing fine untill the speedballs. That not so glorious mixture of coke and heroin has taken too many wonderfull musicians,,, and comedians for that matter.
@DClynch yeah wtf, speedballs are fucking dumb. the whole reason your doing one or the other is to be up or down. doing both seems redundant and bad chemistry.
I used to listen to Little Feat in the 70's, and they were one of ma favorite bands of all time, time will tell, and this band will shine in the future as one of the all time best bands in rock, wait and see, Wynn ^5 peace
One of my favorite bands in the 70's. I saw some great shows including the Bottom Line and a midnight show at the Beacon Theatre in New york (the police had to be called in to break up that show). The Grateful Dead and Little Feat are my fondest concert memories of the 70's. Great time.
That's the way of playing slide I like so very much.
His death was a real tragedy for all slide - lovers. This band turnes me on and it gives me a shower seeing lowell playing this beautiful slidesolo. - Great Stuff !!!
@teeswaran I hear ya..he is an artist of the purest form....I cried all day and night when he died....took drunk (haha) on Southern Comfort...and sang my a-- off.....I stole as much as I could manage from Lowell.... Love to you, and thanks for keeping his music alive .....My favorite band of all time, as well....
For me there is no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until Little Feat gets inducted. But don't count on it. Those queer boy Yankee HOF voters only like bands that play out of tune guitars and sing about heroin.
Well, yeah. But every incarnation of the Feats has been a winner and they've kept that funky, loose groove that Lowell brought to R&R. Nobody jams like these guys (maybe early Allman Bros.)
Allman Brothers cannot even come close to the groove Lowell and his band put forth. Very unfortunate loss when he left us. So many excellent songs that had that that funky groove but was R&R unmistakeably.
This is from 76 in Amsterdam. This whole set is incredible. The Band was obviously enjoying the best/worst of what Amsterdam had to offer. I will send this out to the first three who contact me.
Damn I loved them back in the 70's and was at one of the "Waiting For Columbus" shows in DC, which was one of their biggest market I saw a semi-recent Bill Payne interview on YouTube in which he practically called Lowell an asshole..............I know from many that Lowell was a handful and really wanted a successful solo career because he had so many people in his ear telling him he was the star of the band, but I thought after all these years Payne could have been a little kinder to the man.
agreed, the wail together, but for me most of the feeling ( grooving rocking raging funking set aside) the feeling was in lowell's voice. Holly shit so much pain and pleasure in that man's voice at the same time.
Little Feat: I still own all of their "records". I saw them play live in San Diego in 1976. Their show that night eclipsed their recordings, it was a very good night!
They were still getting the act together as it sounds like they are going into Dixie Chicken, but we know they made their bones by slippin into Tripe Face Boogie.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Poor Lowell. He just couldn't handle the boozing peruvian fast lane, but he kept his edge throughtout knocking us out with his creative juice! Did anyone tell the band they were finished when he left? Its a pity that they didn't bury the name with George departed. Now its a wannabe bunch of old men....
A Distant Thunder, Business As Usual, Calling The Children Home, Changin' Luck, Daily Grind, Don't Try So Hard, Down In Flames, Eden'S Wall, Falling Through The Worlds, Feel The Groove, Feelin's AllGone, Ferocious Morning, Fighting The Mosquito Wars, Hangin' On To The Good Times, Hoy Hoy, I'd Be Lyin, Listen To Your Heart, Livin' On Dreams, Loved And Lied To, Somebody;s Leavin', Teenage Warrior, The Blues Don't Tell It All, Under The Radar, Vale Of Tears, Voices On The Wind...how wrong you are!

I played D1 lacrosse at that time. When it was my day for lockerroom music, Feat were the choice. Picture 27 guys dancing/ shouting before game/practice. Made us play really loose-and well!
I saw the show in DC that night at the Cellar Door...and he was awesome as always...my sister's house was about three blocks from the Key Bridge Marriott and we both cried when we heard about him the next day.
I remember hearing feats don`t fail me now and the album cover with george washington and marilyn monroe ...That album sent me into a whole different direction...i had 3 different copies because people kept stealing it from me!!! Yeah, Lowell and the boys were the best and to those who say otherwise i say that you are sadly ignorant...Why not apply for a job at Rolling stone magazine...
This is a '76 Dutch concert, Hilversum, Sportpark, along with Tim Buckley, and the great DOOBIES!
Wanna verify? Check the posting higher-up in this list mentioning "Holland". At the end of that video you can see the Dutch origin of this footage.
Great band, bit too much of that slide guitar though. Yet imagine: The Rolling Stones once mentioned (Melody Maker) LF was the GREATEST band of all.Ain't that a statement!!

I think you are all wrong for the location. It was held at a soccer stadium in South London - England (I forget which one). On the same bill was the Alex Harvey Band, The Outlaws (amazing band), and headlined by THE WHO. The red white & blue is also the English flag colours.I remember them clearly as i was there to witness musical history in the making. Little Feat is my favourite band of all time. They need to be in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Lowell, you are sorely missed - the very best!
Well, lets face it, Little Feat never exactly took off here or anywhere else. Trouble was they were too close to the the skin, a small band of originals just froving around and yelling like mad.
they never took off? just being the best at what they did wasn't enough? and what is being "too close to the skin" supposed to mean? "froving around and yelling like mad"? at least you got the part about being original correct. what, may i ask, would you consider a worthy r&r hof candidate?
The R&R HOF is B.S., a lot of great bands still not in, Yes,Moody Blues,Genesis,Deep Purple,Chicago and more. As long as Jann Wenner is involved you won't be seeing them there.
I saw them -'76? I also saw the Who, ARS, REO, etc, but Feat're the BEST of my concert memories. No fancy stage show crap, just them and the MUSIC. I remember they did "don't bogart that joint, my friend - pass it over to meee" and the audience pelted the stage with doobies - they gathered 'em up, & all left the stage but the bass, who mesmerized us for at least 5 min by himself. Then came back, one by one, flickin' roaches away as they came - truly cool, I was/am proud to have been there.
thank you so much for putting this up - sheer genius! love bill paynes little wiggly ass. i don't literally love it - i mean it amuses me. hope that is clear :-)
good music and a clever lyric...this stuff will live on ..hope eveyrone sees and hears it .. if not you are missing out on one of life's simple pleasures
I'm new to you-tube and it's wild to see all this old Feat stuff. Are there any DVD's, (with Lowell), out other than the Rock Palace show. If there is I'd love to hear about them! Thank you very much!
The Rockpalast show is the only one I know of with Lowell George on DVD. There was a Warner Brothers VHS release of Little Feat in London in 1977 (Mick Taylor, ex-Rolling Stones guests), but that never made it to DVD officially. There are some boot versions of it out there. I'd gladly pay for an official, clean, remaster of it if Warner would put it out on DVD.
Lowell was amazing, but the groove that band dug... sometimes so tight you couldn't get a credit card through it, other times a syncopated bass or drum part would pick you up and throw you across the room, such was the traction. In other words the best blues-funk groove band of all time.
Lowell was a personal friend. He was a great big personality, even when you hung out. Damn near killed me to hear he died, here in DC I was, and him maybe 20 min. away. And all his "friends" (connections) cared about was that there was no trace back to them. What a crock. Glad he did get to live big, even if, like the best, he died young.
Little Feat today bears little resemblance to this incredeble band you see in this video. They need to ditch Tackett and Murphy and replace them with Bonnie Raitt. You get a great voice and a killer slide player at he same time. Not a bad voice either. That would bring back the soul and energy this band needs today. Yes I know that'll never happen how cool would that be?!!!
Just freaking amazing! Thanks for posting this. As a life-long Feat fan I am still constantly amazed how good they were/are still today. The re-incarnation of the band through out the years keeps them fresh, relevant and wayyyyyyyyyy ahead of the curve. Thanks again! oh, and GO SEE some live music!
Thank you for posting this rare footage. Lowell was the man! What a great voice. One for the ages. Could you post the other footage from this incredible concert?
If you've never listened to little feat you're missing the best band ever. there isn't antbody who sounds like them or are better musicians. Richie Hayward is the the most incredible drummer. give a listen
Simply fantastic. Must be old, look how thin Lowell is! His death was such a waste. It still makes me sad, all these years later. But great vid all the same!
As indicated above, this footage is on the Rockpalast DVD. I highly recommend the DVD as it no only has the concert but additional segments with running musicians' commentary on the show (including Elizabeth George as well). Great for any avid feat fan.

I remember hearing feats don`t fail me now and the album cover with george washington and marilyn monroe ...That album sent me into a whole different direction...i had 3 different copies because people kept stealing it from me!!! Yeah, Lowell and the boys were the best and to those who say otherwise i say that you are sadly ignorant...Why not apply for a job at Rolling stone magazine...

Sorry guys,
This is a '76 Dutch concert, Hilversum, Sportpark, along with Tim Buckley, and the great DOOBIES!
Wanna verify? Check the posting higher-up in this list mentioning "Holland". At the end of that video you can see the Dutch origin of this footage.
Great band, bit too much of that slide guitar though. Yet imagine: The Rolling Stones once mentioned (Melody Maker) LF was the GREATEST band of all.Ain't that a statement!!

I think you are all wrong for the location. It was held at a soccer stadium in South London - England (I forget which one). On the same bill was the Alex Harvey Band, The Outlaws (amazing band), and headlined by THE WHO. The red white & blue is also the English flag colours.I remember them clearly as i was there to witness musical history in the making. Little Feat is my favourite band of all time. They need to be in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Lowell, you are sorely missed - the very best!

Well, lets face it, Little Feat never exactly took off here or anywhere else. Trouble was they were too close to the the skin, a small band of originals just froving around and yelling like mad.

they never took off? just being the best at what they did wasn't enough? and what is being "too close to the skin" supposed to mean? "froving around and yelling like mad"? at least you got the part about being original correct. what, may i ask, would you consider a worthy r&r hof candidate?

I was thinking that the other day. how many years do they have to be around until they get recognized in the R&R HOF??? Coming up on 40

The R&R HOF is B.S., a lot of great bands still not in, Yes,Moody Blues,Genesis,Deep Purple,Chicago and more. As long as Jann Wenner is involved you won't be seeing them there.

I have Rockpalast and this is different. Not nearly as good - but maybe it is this production mix from Rockpalast, I do not know.

I saw them -'76? I also saw the Who, ARS, REO, etc, but Feat're the BEST of my concert memories. No fancy stage show crap, just them and the MUSIC. I remember they did "don't bogart that joint, my friend - pass it over to meee" and the audience pelted the stage with doobies - they gathered 'em up, & all left the stage but the bass, who mesmerized us for at least 5 min by himself. Then came back, one by one, flickin' roaches away as they came - truly cool, I was/am proud to have been there.

I'm new to you-tube and it's wild to see all this old Feat stuff. Are there any DVD's, (with Lowell), out other than the Rock Palace show. If there is I'd love to hear about them! Thank you very much!

The Rockpalast show is the only one I know of with Lowell George on DVD. There was a Warner Brothers VHS release of Little Feat in London in 1977 (Mick Taylor, ex-Rolling Stones guests), but that never made it to DVD officially. There are some boot versions of it out there. I'd gladly pay for an official, clean, remaster of it if Warner would put it out on DVD.

Lowell was amazing, but the groove that band dug... sometimes so tight you couldn't get a credit card through it, other times a syncopated bass or drum part would pick you up and throw you across the room, such was the traction. In other words the best blues-funk groove band of all time.

Lowell was a personal friend. He was a great big personality, even when you hung out. Damn near killed me to hear he died, here in DC I was, and him maybe 20 min. away. And all his "friends" (connections) cared about was that there was no trace back to them. What a crock. Glad he did get to live big, even if, like the best, he died young.

Little Feat today bears little resemblance to this incredeble band you see in this video. They need to ditch Tackett and Murphy and replace them with Bonnie Raitt. You get a great voice and a killer slide player at he same time. Not a bad voice either. That would bring back the soul and energy this band needs today. Yes I know that'll never happen how cool would that be?!!!

If you've never listened to little feat you're missing the best band ever. there isn't antbody who sounds like them or are better musicians. Richie Hayward is the the most incredible drummer. give a listen

As indicated above, this footage is on the Rockpalast DVD. I highly recommend the DVD as it no only has the concert but additional segments with running musicians' commentary on the show (including Elizabeth George as well). Great for any avid feat fan.
