@bonzaitribe I have said the for a few years now. If he could pull together a serious performance and not be his usual self(although funny), that could be a water shed role for him. I just love that idea. He looks the part, can play the part, and is a bit wild too I am sure. it would be great.
slide guitar, bongos, singing drummer, real emotion, so much beauty -- and to think -- Little Feat wouldn't be able to make it in this day and age. makes you ill.
My favorite band with two of my all-time favorite female vocalists, it doesn't get any better.
I used to watch Midnight Special all the time. I probably saw this but just took it for granted and forgot about this incredible performance. Thanks for bringing it back.
what a legendary band !!1, it was sad to hear that drummer Ritchie Hayward died , his drumming was nearly impossible to replicate ,..a great drummer in a band full of great musicians,I was lucky enough to see this band with Lowell George.... and Bonnie Raitt opened in 1976 at the Fox theatre in Atlanta ,a night I wont ever forget,
Bonnie is so warm and tawny, and Emmie Lou is so pale white with that long dark hair - they look like the spirits of Autumn and Winter personified - & both lovely
So glad I was able to see Little Feat live, Bonnie Raitt was opening act; amazing night. Was supposed to be @ Red Rocks Amp. due to rain was at Nichols Arena, no matter the arena the sounds & atmosphere was great.
Paul Barrerre was a fantastic guitarist, but Lowell's slide, vocals, and his song writing made little feat who they were--and I do give credit to the rest of the band. God I miss these guys!!!!!
I saw Little Feat with Melissa Etheridge, when little feat came out they gave her a standing ovation, she backed them up on a couple songs later on, overall it was a great show - at Tanglewood in Lenox Massachusetts. They rarely let anybody any good play there any more, but that was a good one. Then again - that was a long time ago- over 20 years actually.
Those were the glory days of passionate musicians without any electronic gimmiks, but with hearts, soul and ears (and of course eyes for this sophisticated Ladies) playing one of my very favourite "Feat" - Songs - love this upload - thanks from slideede, berlin
I love everything Lowell played, but do you notice how under-noticed is Paul Barrere? He was really driving the tune (well, along with the rest of the band) But Barrere played the main guitar licks. The camera just settled on Lowell, who was surfing (brilliantly) on the top of the wave.
Started listening to Little Feat in the 70's. I always saw Lowell as the inspiration until about 10 years ago when I suddenly understood that it was actually Barrere that was the soul of Little Feat.
Now, if that don't want to make you get a four piece spicy chicken and an order of red beans and rice then you is just too Yankee-fied. Bust my 'rhoids and sit me in alchohol!
In 1977 I saw Linda Ronstadt in Columbus, Ohio. She sang a couple Little Feat songs and was totally plugging them saying they were "the best band in America."
Next day I went out and bought two of their albums...been hooked ever since.
This is like when all the cops are at one crime scene - there is so much talent on that little stage that there could not have been talent found anywhere else at that moment!!! And dang... Emmylou! WIsh I'd been old enough to know!!!
just got some sad news today ..... Richie Hayward, L.F.'s great, great, drummer, passed away not too long ago. RIP Richie.. and thanks for all the great music.
Little Feat have always been one of my Favs of all time. Same with Bonnie Riatt, Susan Tedeschi, The Derek Trucks Band, and skynard, Allman Brothers. All music like this is soooo underated it's sad !!!! Todays pop culture doesn't know music the way it's meant to be.
Like the song says: "guess that guitar player sure could play". Just a great, great band. Very sad to read about the recent passing of drummer Richie Hayward, August 2010. Always so much going in every Little Feat song, and Hayward kept everyone together. Apparently a terrific guy to boot, he will certainly be missed.
R.I.P Richie... You've entered the world of the immortals now. Maybe whilst your there you can play a duel drum solo with John Bonham. That'd be monumental! Brilliant drummer, and recognised for being one.
Lowell George's voice was described at "vanilla grits." He just happened to be white, but played and sang like a New Orleans black guy. Loves me some Feets.
Oh my, yes. I am going to see them tonight. It is simply awful that they are not recognized. I am always gap jawed when someone has never even heard of them.
I have always loved Bonnie Raitt, and Emmylou Harris too!!! I just missed seeing them at the old Palamino Club in the 70's!! This was a cool reminder of the GOOD OLE DAYS!!!
I was watching this show on a Friday nite in 1977. So awesome...I still can't keep still when I hear their music.
For those of you who find them dull, I hope you have some taste other than what's in your mouth. If you listen to them and hear the level of skill that every one of the band members displays, you'll at least appreciate them, whether you LIKE them or not.
@MissEgasMoniz Their music stands up against time as good as any in history of rock. Those who don't appreciate the rich textures of their compositions and the hilarious intelligence of the lyrics deserve neither music nor brains.
what a great band .. Lowell George had something special .. I've seen these guys a bunch of times and they're still kickin' .. I'll always miss Lowell though .
Can someone help me find a song. It has the same kind of percussion intro as this and the singer of the song has a voice that is a mix between John Lennon and Paul Rodgers. I think there was a slide guitar solo maybe. In the chorus he sings I'll Be Gone Gone Gone or something to that effect. It isn't Robert Plant or Bad Company. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I remember this show very well. Lowell brought these great artists on stage and then had their mics turned down, so that he was the only singer who could be heard.
great band my mate peter put me onto them in the mid 70s,he passed last year,,maybe lowell george is singing dixie chicken just for him,keep on rockin boys
I don't know how long this vid has been up but it's been viewed over half a million times. The babes are HOT! I catch the current version of the band whenever they come through town. They continue to ROCK THE HOUSE!
maybe they didn't end up huge stars because the industry was already starting to make a left hand turn into formulaic, watered down vegastyle pop; all the innocence had already started to die down from the sixties; integrity was to be replaced with good ol' fashion 'what sells.' and 'what sells' best is what's most reliable; and, that would be mediocrity. there's nothing more dependable than mediocrity; genius may take years to come around.
Bonnie was never happier than with Lowell and his crazy antics! What a couple they were! Bonnie makes Emmylou look like a stuckup dowager in this video! Go BONNIE`!
Lowell & the band are just dripping talent. Makes you wonder where they & we all would be today if Lowell hadn't croaked. I expect that all music would be different today if he'd lived longer - like Hendrix.
Anyone still searching for great new music in a similar vein should check Freebo (bonnies bassplayer) recent albums, just great folk music and he does amazingly intimate live shows around the country all the time. Check his website freebomusic
OH! I remember watching this show! The band was as hot as could be and Bonnie and Emmylou were just so damn sexy! How Da' Feet didn't end up huge stars after this I still can't figure out!
@SFCBenny57 Little Feat didn't make it big because their lead singer, Lowell George, died two years later in June 1979 of an accidental drug overdose.
@SFCBenny57 it's because no one appreciates good music! i wasn't even alive yet during this video but luckily my dad raised me on Little Feat and other good bands ever since i was little.
Doesn't matter who or how they did what or whatever, these guys were and still are great entertainers....just enjoy. It's all just a left-handed form of human endeavor.
I like this band and fail to see any connection between them and our latest economic catastrophe. If everyone worked as hard as these guys, we would have no problems maintaining our way of life.
Hey I used to love Bonnie Raitt - but face it - aren't we all a little sick of this shit? The stoner worldview is not very productive. There is only so much self-centered fun a person can have. Our generation - those who grew up on this miusic - is the sorriest in American history. We've ruined everything. Coincidence? I doubt it.
No, you're the sorriest in American history.Stop sucking the fumes of the American Nazi propaganda that blames the damage done by conservatives since Nixon on a generation that opposed them. Right wing nuts , economic royalists and bible thumping wingnuts have ruined everything. Grow up, whiner.
There is no difference between right-wing narcissists and left-wing narcissists - you're all part of the same problem, a generation of self-indulgent fucks who have taken everything good in American life and bent it out of shape until it can't be recognized. Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Carter, Obama - all the same. Fuckheads. These druggies are your sirens.
You have proved yourself incapable of rational though as well as a lack of political knowledge. There is no similarity between far right wing kooks, biblethumpers, economic royalists and decent Americans. Like far right wing nuts who are caught in the mens room with other men while praying to jesus and decrying homosexuals as perverts, you reveal yourself as the self indulgent you accuse others of being. Sounds to me like you missed a few steps in your rehab program, Stuart Smalley.
Oh no? The hero of the left, Clinton, and that of the right, Bush, worked equally to squash Ms. Born, when she tried to regulate financial markets in 1998. Her squashers now work for Obama. The overarching problem is the hubris and self-indulgence of a useless generation. Tim Leary and Ayn Rand - united in self-love.
You are wrong again. Shrub was a Gubnor in '98..Clinton was being impeached by the corrupt politically motivated right wing. It was the rethuglican led Congress , Mitch McConnell's committee that refused to regulate Derivatives in 2000. Conservative led financial deregulation has led this country into the hole we are in now..Tim Leary and Ayn Rand are not even of the same generation...ya knownothing. Obviously facts mean little to someone like you who knows nothing, Pat Boone.

Lowell & the band are just dripping talent. Makes you wonder where they & we all would be today if Lowell hadn't croaked. I expect that all music would be different today if he'd lived longer - like Hendrix.

Anyone still searching for great new music in a similar vein should check Freebo (bonnies bassplayer) recent albums, just great folk music and he does amazingly intimate live shows around the country all the time. Check his website freebomusic

These are one of the most underrated bands. Its criminal more people don't know more about them. Dixie Chicken is an amazing album

OH! I remember watching this show! The band was as hot as could be and Bonnie and Emmylou were just so damn sexy! How Da' Feet didn't end up huge stars after this I still can't figure out!

@SFCBenny57 Little Feat didn't make it big because their lead singer, Lowell George, died two years later in June 1979 of an accidental drug overdose.

@SFCBenny57 it's because no one appreciates good music! i wasn't even alive yet during this video but luckily my dad raised me on Little Feat and other good bands ever since i was little.

this is one of my favorite tunes from the '70's - Billy Payne was a huge influence on me as a piano player - thanks for the great video!

Doesn't matter who or how they did what or whatever, these guys were and still are great entertainers....just enjoy. It's all just a left-handed form of human endeavor.

I like this band and fail to see any connection between them and our latest economic catastrophe. If everyone worked as hard as these guys, we would have no problems maintaining our way of life.

considering who has played with and been influenced by this band, i'm surprised they are not better known.

Hey I used to love Bonnie Raitt - but face it - aren't we all a little sick of this shit? The stoner worldview is not very productive. There is only so much self-centered fun a person can have. Our generation - those who grew up on this miusic - is the sorriest in American history. We've ruined everything. Coincidence? I doubt it.

No, you're the sorriest in American history.Stop sucking the fumes of the American Nazi propaganda that blames the damage done by conservatives since Nixon on a generation that opposed them. Right wing nuts , economic royalists and bible thumping wingnuts have ruined everything. Grow up, whiner.

There is no difference between right-wing narcissists and left-wing narcissists - you're all part of the same problem, a generation of self-indulgent fucks who have taken everything good in American life and bent it out of shape until it can't be recognized. Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Carter, Obama - all the same. Fuckheads. These druggies are your sirens.
antimatterXXXIII 1 year ago
You have proved yourself incapable of rational though as well as a lack of political knowledge. There is no similarity between far right wing kooks, biblethumpers, economic royalists and decent Americans. Like far right wing nuts who are caught in the mens room with other men while praying to jesus and decrying homosexuals as perverts, you reveal yourself as the self indulgent you accuse others of being. Sounds to me like you missed a few steps in your rehab program, Stuart Smalley.

Oh no? The hero of the left, Clinton, and that of the right, Bush, worked equally to squash Ms. Born, when she tried to regulate financial markets in 1998. Her squashers now work for Obama. The overarching problem is the hubris and self-indulgence of a useless generation. Tim Leary and Ayn Rand - united in self-love.
antimatterXXXIII 1 year ago
You are wrong again. Shrub was a Gubnor in '98..Clinton was being impeached by the corrupt politically motivated right wing. It was the rethuglican led Congress , Mitch McConnell's committee that refused to regulate Derivatives in 2000. Conservative led financial deregulation has led this country into the hole we are in now..Tim Leary and Ayn Rand are not even of the same generation...ya knownothing. Obviously facts mean little to someone like you who knows nothing, Pat Boone.
