Little Feat Old Folks Boogie 1977 Special

[randolphr]

i look away for a few moments & and then realize "hey !! ..... those licks are being played w/ a slide ??!! .... "

i'm no stranger to Lowell's playing but .... that was phenomenal !

[inatizzy2]

I appreciate the Guys carrying on for Lowell but JUST AINT the Same.

[richdys]

The groove on this from about 2:40 under lowell's solo is just so in the pocket. . .

[swiggy58a]

Why is it tha t so many camera men....just don't get it?

[Thesometomato]

As I age, this song means more to me! This incarnation of Little Feat SHOULD be in the R&R Hall of Fame. One of the best bands EVER!.

[Sirchud68]

My folks were into these cats. I had no idea! Killer tone....

[96phjams04]

Was listening to Waiting for Columbus today.

[blackandtanful]

はっきり言って､このｱﾒﾘｶﾝ･ﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞには敵わない､最強­!ﾘﾄﾙ･ﾌｨｰﾄ～OLD FORKS BOOGIE(ﾗｲヴ)～強者達!!

[bosco258]

Damn! Lowell was killing it on his solo!

[doylestownstew]

I for one am going to have this playing Loud the first day I move into a "over 55" place!!

[martock36]

@doylestownstew Played this tune recently in local nursing home, (seriously) AND they loved it ,ate it up in fact

Don't sweat it with the Seniors. Believe me, when I say, "only worry about the frustrated 55-65 olds".

[211bill]

Country funk

[kiwimale1]

Only one feat beat....!!!!

[klausbluetner1]

Bill Payne is my favorite keyboard player.

[richdys]

God they were so good live. . . . . Just mind blowingly tight. . . and loose all at the same time. . .Payne is such a great rock pianist. . . such percussive attack but still great melody. . . .

[justinriley13]

Love Estrada but Gradney nails the groove to the ground!

[infinitecatfish]

what is the bass players name? is he an original member?

[psychodelicrock12]

@infinitecatfish Kenny Gradney. He replaced original bass guitar player Roy Estrada.

[TheGunnersmate]

This song makes you want to get some friends together, order a pizza, roll a fat 1 & party/dance the night away, & see what (who) you wake up with.

[kevinherbert]

It getz more relevant..the older..I getz...

[BarbDon562]

WOW....WOW....WOW.....I HAVENT HEARD THIS IN MANY YEARS.......THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC THAT SHOULD BE PLAYED MORE TODAY.......THIS WAS ROCK AND ROLL......YOU COULD FEEL THEIR MUSIC.....NOW I GUESS THIS COULD BE MY SONG NOW THAT I AM 40 SOMETHING:

[alan4sure]

@BarbDon562 So why are you YELLING???? Thats what typing in all caps is, maybe you didn't know that? Or are you REALLY REALLY EXCITED???

[pretorious700]

Back when guys could actually play their instruments

[aurzada]

Phish covered "Waiting for Columbus" in Atlantic City for their Halloween "costume" set. Damn good set of music played by Phish that turned a lot of younger people onto the greatness of Little Feat. Check it out if you can. You won't be disappointed.

[shoutingthomas]

If they'd had to start from scratch without the genius of Lowell George they never would have been more than a footnote in rock history. Yet Payne and Barrere insisted on equal influence and drug the band down into hum-drumness. Damn you Bill Payne and your inept attempts at dragging the band into jazz-fusion. It wasn't enough to be an excellent musician lucky enough to be in a band with one of Rock's true geniuses?

[dandamagetoo]

man I hate to hear that Richie passed on. he always looked like he was having more fun than kitens when he was playing. LOVE these guys

[bulletinman]

Thin Lizzy, Kiss, Deep Purple are not in the so called Hall of Fame. That is indeed a shame! LF are the greatest injustice, waiting for Columbus should be enough.

[dennisl2008]

You hear where Bonnie Raitt got her slide licks...Lowell George.

[Darklightx19]

My favorite band. Best rhythm and tasty grooves.. Remember when music has some real feeling behind it?..

[Talcupp]

@ajg23p I believe it's Ritchie Hayward, who passed way a week ago or so. Great drummer.

[1i1feat]

This is awsome, thanks!! I have 2 Lil' Feat concerts that utube will not let me post any suggestions?

[Mel0dymaker]

@1i1feat With video ??? Are they good quality ? Maybe try wolfsgangs vault. There are already some good LF recordings to be found there.

[SHAKEDOWN72]

@1i1feat ...Just send 'em to me...I'll quite happily crack open a few beers whilst I peruse your vids ;-)

[1i1feat]

@SHAKEDOWN72 i'll try again soon to post'em but utube keeps me busy unpostin' them!!

[SHAKEDOWN72]

@1i1feat yeah, they can be right hard asses for sure.....

[synesthesia67]

wow ...what a cool one!!

[TheNancydoody]

RIP Richie. I hope you're flying high with Lowell.

[RnRanimal]

beautiful mix

they always had the best sound on stage

[lacolumbus]

Interesting set up: Sam plying drums! ... excellent slide playing from the late great! Its a trademark how Lowell did that clean high pitched notes at the end of solo!

[grafikfeat]

Why aren't these guys in the RNR hall of fame yet!?

[ridingroy]

@grafikfeat Can that be so? No kidding, these guys were one of the 2 or 3 greatest rock bands America ever produced if not THE best...

[swiggy58a]

@grafikfeat Hey man! They've been in my Personal "hall of fame" since I first heard them back in '77. Who cares what the snobs in Cleveland think?

[MrFrankZeppelin]

@grafikfeat It´s that really true? Perhaps to blow that hall up.....

[copierguy5000]

@grafikfeat because the R&R Hall of fame is a bunch of bullshit. Its a political game and the guy who runs it is a complete asshole. Bet Justin Beiber will be inducted before Little Feat, or the Moody Blues

[bjl8901]

The best..

[dubglas4]

Outstanding!

I miss these guys. Had the extreme pleasure to work security for them at one of their gigs in Pismo Beach, Cal. (central coast California) this same year. Got to meet em all. Great group of guys and very funny.

Nothing like the Feats to pick a guy up on a cloudy day in the Northwest.

Lowell, RIP my brother.

[gr8oldbroad]

Difficult to choose a favorite Feat song, but this one is definitely one of mine!

[Nater0102]

'Cause you know, that your over the hill, when your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill.

[ZazzOffGuitars]

Like man, dig that Feat funk !!!!

[mtcharts]

This is good theraphy

[tncchris]

Excellent song and brilliant band. Still got a few albums of theirs on vinyl. Shame I dont have a record deck.

[candelise]

@tncchris CDs, Downloads etc.

[fragileindustries]

Sending this out to all my friends today on my 53d birthday! Thanks!

[bobcajun07]

Outstanding.

[sajuarowasl]

Oh yeah!

[wfages]

Thanks for posting, that's just what the Doctor ordered today.
