Little Feat Rocket In My Pocket

[borgduck]

Now, this is fab!

[Onlymusical]

Lowell George was right up there with Hendrix and Morrison as a mighty talent. All three were doing their best work when they died.

[Onlymusical]

Jack Black was born to play Lowell George in a movie.

[melinda4101]

the best band ever..went away too soon

[brucecratty]

I agree with eddievas, Lowell should be in the Rock Hall! Let's make it happen

[Mydachshund]

Who dislikes Feat? Are they insane or what???

[onemanband75to82]

just simply great musicians

[MrRyanorrey]

exceptional lyricist also

[dragonmama12]

wut eddievas said  love foggy

[lyndasabian]

I was there... it was amazing, mind blowing.

[kimikorocks]

can't wait to hear dixie chicken again

[Mightyfee]

Lowell George is NOT in the RR Hall of Fame? WHAT?!?!?!?!

[halcyonsgs]

I agree with Cerph, Little Feat did not get enough appreciation. But what a lgeacy of incredible music Lowell and the band left for us. Thank you for posting this.

[louiseduvee]

Yes, Lowell needs to be in the Hall of Fame!!! No one ever played slide like him. His sustain and legato have driven lesser musicians mad for decades. In fact, the original band (including Ry Cooder) needs to be there as well.

[Cerph]

Best rock n' roll singer of all time.

Lowell, and his band, didn't get their due.

Thanks for posting this.

[MarioTheBrother]

Tengo un cohete en el pantalon..... genio Calamaro!

[jjjmom53]

I love 'em

[1952FMS]

Love Lowell,,Love the Band,, Not much sweeter than Lowell wailn,slidin, w/ Bill, Paul, Ritchie and ta Feats in company. Sweet ,,Sweet,,,Music

[1952FMS]

Lowell, bless his heart could sing like a bird with the best of em, sing his ass off, sing u n a corner & out again, play some slide and let Bill & Paul take you along for a ride. God bless Mr. Hayward RIP.. Any hoo,,live long fan..love you guys ...,,,..

[1blastman]

Lowell, Let it RIP!!! You were the best that ever was!

[asidqwien]

I saw them without George(sad) 2 yrs ago and it was a blast.The band had so much fun , they threw a good party!!

[Parkwoodparkenfarker]

I wish he could have kept it together and not O.D.ed, what a talent.

[gken0976]

Saw this tour in DC in '77. Next to Springsteen during that era, consider this the best concert I ever saw.

[jb6268]

I saw Little Feat on three succesive nights at Lisner Auditorium back in the early 70's. They were f'ing awesome.

I like your views on hard rocking and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

[rockxtream]

Hell'va musician, singer, band leader - those horns are something.

[Jay435]

Little Feat with The Tower of Power Horns! It just doesn't get any better than that.

[4rainbowed]

@Jay435 Actually, it does! They performed "A Apolitical Blues" with Lowell and Mick Taylor- who had left as the Rolling Stones lead guitarist on the slide. It's mindbending to have watched that, at the Rainbow Theatre in London, and it did get on their live album. There's a video of it but Youtube keeps deleting it for copyright violation. Also there's some of the greatest Little Feat from then on the Internet Archive. Just Google it.

[schwaahly]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah



[Larrymh07]

Lowell who? Sorry, I'm just being sarcastic. The Rock Hall is pretty much tone deaf to real influences and rock music. They and Rolling Stone mag are as irrelevant as they are arrogant.

[jab3785]

@Larrymh07 Couldn't agree more. In the 60's nobody gave a damn about awards. When you see who wins them today, I don't see why I should care now.

[MrJalan146]

lowell ranks among the greatest singer/songwriters in history.all current jam bands owe these guys a debt of gratitude!

[montybus20]

I had no idea there was video from the Rainbow Theatre! Where can I find it?

[davew172]

great memories, I was at all four nights at the rainbow. thanks for reviving best times, sadly then most had not heard of the band.....RIP Lowell you still cannot be beaten !!

[emeryeric1]

not the best sound, but with Lowell it doesn't matter

[psychodelicrock12]

Do you have any more some from the RAINBOW THEATRE LONDON 1977.

[thenthelightningwill]

Hall of Fame.

Without a doubt.

~

[elleneyegreen]

He so needs to be there. We miss him so. What a soul.

[eddievas]

LOWELL NEEDS to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. Spread it virally. Let's make it happen.

[DetectiveDeckard]

@eddievas If there was any justice in this world there would be a designated day of the week, called Lowell Time!!! (trademark), in which everyone must spontaneously break into Rock and Roll Doctor and begin to boogie in the name of the great man himself. We can make it happen!!!!!

[Featster74]

@DetectiveDeckard Hear hear! Kudos on the monicker, too! Tip of the hat to the Late PKD.

[DetectiveDeckard]

@Featster74 Why thank you sir :P

[thatOtherDude100]

@eddievas i can't name all the bands and performers who need to be in the rrhf

[mohansen11]

@eddievas People have started a page on Facebook to try to get Warren Zevon inducted. Have you thought about starting an induction page on Facebook for Lowell and/or Little Feat?

[mohansen11]

@eddievas If you can get something started on Facebook (which I think is your best shot at gaining international support), a letter with the results would need to go to:

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation

1290 Avenue of the Americas

New York, NY 10104

p.s. According to the R&R Hall of Fame & Museum, the Foundation doesn't have a public e-mail address.

[rebobbo1]

@eddievas Could not agree more ! The man lived life and played hard.There is not one song he wrote that I could not relate to at one time or another in my life.Would have loved to party with him for a weekend or ten !

[dewayne58]

WOW, seen this tour in Dayton Ohio, in 1977, One of the greatest ever.....

[hallmark45]

RIP LOWELL

[TayylorC]

ya the first time I heard them was at a guys name Tim Sutcliffe in Vancouver smoking weed and kistening to waiting for Columbus...great weed , great band. left there went straight A&B sound and bought three albums

[dmacmurray]

I'm old enough to have seen and heard this band when Lowell George was alive but, to my chagrin, I do not remember them. I first heard them on Wolfgang's Vault and then borrowed 3 CD's from a friend. They were awesome. I have the CD's in my car and listen on the way to/from work everyday. Working on playing Dixie Chicken...great stuff.

[jrb5353]

Wish I was there!

What a talent Lowell was! R.I.P. God Bless!

[Rumpleproofskin]

i was THERE

[dickfncheney]

HS!!! I never knew they played together! I'd have given my left nut to see that one.

[EnglishBayley]

Little Feat, Tower of Power horns. It just doesn't get any better! If I could go back in time and pick up somebody I'd missed these guys would be at the top of my list. The music lives on and on.

[mike47ashling]

What a great band, I was at this gig at the Finsbury park Rainbow in 1977 they were absolutely brilliant, so were the tower of power horn section, superb, to think that a few months later Lowell George was dead, and Little feat would never be the same

[scabbo1960]

lowell lasted til 1979. Class act

[wesleypipes8909]

Lowell George!!!!!!!!!!!! = Little Feat R.I.P

[stampedehero22]

FEAT is totally original. Not many people compliment Kenny Grandey on Bass He and Hayward are still a great section and should be recognized moreso ,since 1969 to now !!

[trevmm]

one of my fave bands of all time they should have called this band the groove masters because there aint no groove they cant play p.s check out my channel for more

[Mygrassisblue01]

RIP Lowell........love your music

[rockbluesfritz]

bin einverstanden

[Laloe2009]

Yeah man, the 70's Santana, Tower of Power, CCR and these guys

[4rainbowed]

My favorite Little Feat song. I briefly met Lowell. They don't make em like him anymore, He left a huge gap when he left us all.. at least his music remains.

[rmaltbie1]

Amen, never anything even close to LG & LF.

[bogartroach]

This JUNE 2009...it'll be 40 years since we last saw Lowell's face pressed against our window pane.

RIP LG.

Hope to see you again, someday.

[spadge34]

I was there but in my mums belly! I swear I got the swamp rock bug from that night!

[BALLINVILLON1066]

great to see this.i was there and i too had a rocket in my pocket.oh the 70s ,what a time, and you all thought it was all glamrock and disco.pass the zimmer mary i might just go for a stroll.

[12groney]

The best way to find out in the 70's if you were worth a shit as a band was if Tower of Power would agree to play with you , Feat,Santana ect. Everyone wanted them to play on their tour/albumn, but they would only play with the most talanted

[izzonj]

Elton John, too!

Too bad Victor Conti turned into such a sleaze-ball

[schwaahly]

Yay!!!! thx fo this 1 one of my all time favs

[Pooc0]

Lowell owns

[ShitShovellor]

'I told him to stay off those speedballs but would he..??...would he buggery!!!

- Lowell George's 'physician'

[ShitShovellor]

THE GREAT WHITE VOICE, SOUL OR OTHERWISE..............ever, actually

Lowell, the biggest prize the pharmaceutical devil ever prised away from this great globe of ours

[rambler68]

shake your short change from an old fruit jar!!

[mike47ashling]

This was the first and only time that I went to a little feat gig, it was at the Rainbow theatre in Finsbury Park, London. They were amazing as were the tower of power horn section. I can't believe that was 31 years ago, god I am getting old, since I have seen very few bands live that even got close to that night, we and his family and friends were robbed of Lowell George at far too young an age

[thedolces]

Amazing group. Always fantastic.

[CommentBuzzard]

i'd've been pecking at this body, good and proper, if the paramedics hadn't got there first!..... Tasty stuff, funkmeister general with a penchant for slide guitar that gets me salivating and wishing I'd helped to write Rock 'n Roll Doctor rather than devoting my time to help finish off a baby Wilderbeast, down Mexico way....

[Islwynpaul]

Great video, great sound, greatest band, LOWELL GEORGE (I am not worthy etc.) It does not get any better than this except for the WLIR vids from '74. On those two Lowell looks like a so cool mother. He has never been replaced and nobody is playing music as good as this now or since. Miss him like hell.

[makeajazznoise]

where the hell did you get this... and does the whole show exist on video?!?!

[tombyid]

i think i was at this gig? did they support 'the doobie bros' and played them off the f'king park??

[MaleMidLifer]

cavernous sound, staid English audience, horn section....and still they cut the mustard in the funky department by anyone's standard...those SOB's would've been 'at home' backed by Von Carrion and his fuckin' symphony orchestra with all the massed-ranks that entails.....!!

[JustSayThat]

'cocaine doesn't make everyone Lowell George'

...Government Information Message-Type Warning

[JustSayThat]

Absolutely! hippest and funkiest band ever!

Sadly, without the Fat Man In The Dungarees they're like the Beatles without John Lennon and one of MacCartney's arms...(can you guess which one...?)

[Nostams]

Tower of Power Horn Section with the greatest band of all time...Little Feat!

[littlefeat56]

I was at a couple of the concerts at the Rainbow. Can anyone else recall some kind of altercation between Lowell and Richie?

[cglassbrook]

I was on the front row of this gig!

When Lowell was singing Willin' I vaguely remember Richie shouting out 'your so f*cked up'! Parts of this gig were later to be found on the live album 'Waiting for Columbus' but a large proportion was overdubbed.

I saw every gig they did in the UK before Lowell died. Great band.

[unsound64]

Now I finally live in London, and I'm 30 years too late!

[Cameragirl803]

One of my all time favorites!!! Thanks so much for giving me a new add to my fav's:):)jane

[veiled1971]

The Tower Of Power sure add a lot of fill!! Man I love this band!! Best band ever!!

[2rainbowed]

MY ALL TIME favorite Little Feat Song. And the Tower of Power really know how to back up songs.. god bless you Lowell.

[stretch54]

This was the tour in 77 with Tower of Power where they recorded "Waiting for Columbus" among the top two or three greatest live albums ever made.

it's up there with the "ABB live at the Fillmore East".

[domingushans]

do you have dixie chicken from this concert

[nutbrook]

I'll try & post a few more tracks up in the next couple of weeks (incl. Dixie Chicken!)

[michael07307]

@domingushans thanks for the memories The feets were great ....sad when lowell oded.

[gizzerd66]

do you have any more of this concert footage

[gizzerd66]

Any little feat footage with Lowell George is a rare priceless gem. God damn he was allways so fuckin loaded he was not playing no games with the shit.

[twoboymom]

OMG!!! Lowell George, Little Feat and Tower of Power on stage together?!? I'd have given my left tit to have been there!

[bellinghamster]

w00t!!

[JFUNK128]

tower of power on the horns !

[4rainbowed]

Yea, and few rock musicians realise how critical a horn section can be in really drawing out the music from a song with the band. They had serious chops to take it to another level with the best horn section around back in those days.
