one of my favorite bands - saw them live back in the day - they were so powerful that their music spread people out in front of the stage. If you could handle the juice, you could walk right up to the front and do some serious boogeying...
@PlanTonto - total dancing and grooving in front of the stage with a surprising amount of room to move around. It was at a college, so there weren't that many 'heads' in attendance. The music was so powerful and the band was so on, that not everybody could handle the energy. Bill Payne on keyboard was awesome. It didn't hurt that I was incredibly high that night....one of my all-time favorite concerts...
@dharmasanctuary Wow! Sounds like an awesome time. I caught The Dead about 6 years back, it was a great show, but not the same. I sincerely wish I would have caught some "Feat"...
Just a thought. Perhaps they hit the wrong button firt time round? bearing in mind how easy it can be, when, as we all know how "Smoke get's in your eye".
1313 likes, and what is this f*ing (9) NINE haters....boys it's time to take of yer belts and find them critters what's spreading duh-scent...it's intoksakatin....*swoon...faint*
@billybob6087 Oh yes, George died much too soon...I don't know...early out might not be so bad. Maybe it's just us that feel deprived. I met him in D.C....He drank way too much (so did I). Damn, though, that band was great Just as good live (maybe better) than on their albums.
Yes I DO like this clip! Mighty good performance of a real "studio" classic - live!
"The Feat" were the musicians' musicians of this era, mostly in the studio (like Steeleye Dan) and of course with untimely tragedy... Wow! A good time.
I'm gonna tell you fellas I coulda had more cow bell. I gotta have more cowbell. Guess what..... I got a fever.... and the only prescription is more cowbell....!
@klkhere I remember when I heard about LG's death,I was listening to WNEW-fm, in the car over by Kean College -I almost had a crash on North Ave; when I took it all in.I forget who the DJ. was but he said it so matteroffactly (I suck at spelling lol!) that I almost lost it. But I'm still willin'. I'm sure you know what I mean. From an old Deadhead to you. Peace Out.....)0( G.
@klkhere yep. easily the best band ever....right after the Beatles, Stones, The Who, The Band, The Grateful Dead, the Clash, The Allman Brothers, The Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, The Velvet Underground.
But don't get me wrong. everyone should dig the 'Feat.
Paul Barrere apparently was watching and learning from Lowell on the slide. Very nice! Lowell was just amazing. What presence. I hope he and Jerry are jamming in the heavenly choir. Loss after loss, but we have such great memories and tapes, audio and video. Thank you everyone who has posted this wonderful material.
Somewhere, I have the 33-1/3 rpm LP of this song. A flood or two has probably cleaved the jacket to the vinyl, never again to be spun on the Dual 510 turntable with the neon speed monitor.
I missed this festival and my last chance to see Lowell before he died because I was getting over an acid trip and other pleasures from the day before. Bummer.
I didn't get it at first. It's a bit smooth on the edges. But it's one of the great overlooked albums of all time.
His version of What Do You Want the Girl to Do? is for the ages.
And his Can't Stand the Rain is another perfect rendition of an eternal song.
Twenty Million Things: So personal, so beautiful.
It seemed a bit overly commercial at the time but Thanks I'll Eat it Here is a truly wonderful collection of songs by one of our gifted & honest brothers in song.
I'm a huge Lowell fan & have been since the Feat's eponymous debut album.
But frankly, Lowell looks a bit junked up in the close-ups & Barrere 's & Payne's commandeering of the band is pretty obvious. Even Waiting for Columbus, as great as it is, has its spotty moments. Lowell & Tower of Power: Nothing better. Barrere & Payne & their phoney jazz & synthesizers, not so much.
Hey Scottylurch, 'If Yall wana catch a current band with the soul and groove of these guys," see Little Feat. In 2011 they still rock like those tectonic plates east of Japan.
If Yall wana catch a current band with the soul and groove of these guys, cheak out J.J. Grey and Mofro. I know the hard core fans will scoff, but they put on a great show.
Saw them live on the Last Record Album Tour at the Hammersmith Odeon 75 or 76 shit wh's counting. This has got to be band of the millenium all time. I just can't believe that any living sentienant bieng could fail to move. Loved it then love it always.
@zitadel1 Their post-Lowell, post-Shawn tunes have been hit or miss, but I still think dancing to "Rock and Roll Doctor" at a Feat show is the closest thing to public sex you can have and not get arrested.
PS: I saw them for the first time in '76, too :-). Still have the shirt.
@zitadel1 "This has got to be (the) band of the millennium..." you got that right. There will never be another band like them, never. I wish I could return to the 70s. The world lost one of the most talented musicians when Lowell died. I saw them play in Torrington CT in 2009. 9 people here have no soul.
@gearhdmusicmn Thanks bros. It's good to know you all out there They just don't seem to see it now days. Nostalgia's just not what it used to be.
They are the be immortals. I delight in our shared total uncomprehension as to how you could place yourself amongst the NINE! Try as I may my head just cant go there Just how distorted does your concept of reality the universe and everything have to be
@recordguy4321 Yes I just read that Ritchie passed ....,man,.. the drumming of Ritchie Hayward ...he had that groove that very few had really no one played exactly like Ritchie except Ritchie ,,an amazing drummer ,the world of music lost one of the best drummers ever ,..
My very first concert, Little Feat with Lowell George, Waiting for Columbus tour, James Madison University, age 13. Smoked about 15 joints in the arena but stayed alert enough to realize that what I was watching was fucking unbelievable!
catching a plane to boston and picked up a rolling stone mag and saw where lowell passed couldn't believe it,wasn't out of the country but a very short time,one of the best bands around,still have the mag
I'd been thinking of music which I'd like to have a certain list of ingredients and whether there were a band which contained them: early Steely Dan, The Band, Nawlins funk.. was sure there had to be one. I was thinking it was a name something like Canned Heat, lol! Tried googling 'country-soul' - which brought up Amos Lee (very fine), which brought me here. Of course..Little Feat!
Was so lucky to be there and then. An amazing day. This footage is shot and soundprocessed by the crew of the national Dutch television way back in 76. Things were primitive then; the scaffolding in front of the band.. Almost no lightning, because it was daytime (!) Truly unique, and never seen or heard since.
@woody1955 Woody, my man, you got that so right. This was state of the art at the time and just good enough to capture all the right nuances. Look at the glazed faces on them Dutch boys and girls! They ain't never seen nuthin' like it. This is truly AMERICAN music. It's a frickin' melting pot of country, funk, boogie-woogie, R&R with subversive jazz licks underneath courtesy of Mr. Payne and that arsenal of keyboards he's packin'.
God I loved these guys. Too bad Lowell George did a John Belushi just when he was hitting the top! Rest in peace, Lowell and Richie. "All I want in my life and time is some good clean fun"
@martykate Lowell passed from a heart attack, friends. Also had HepB, hypertension and sky-high cholesterol. The man was a myocardial infarc waitin' to happen.
@cigargurl He also did a speedball and that set things into motion. As Bill Payne put it, Lowell would take 2 steps forward and five steps back. some of the most talented are the most self destructive
@martykate (sigh) You got a point, my man. He was also a heavy smoker and known for his fondness for Courvoisier. It all woulda caught up with him eventually. But damn, what a talent while we had him.
My rule is......... when I put on "Waiting for Columbus", the album always plays through......No Interruptions ! ever ! just boogie out, and listen........
my dad played this music my whole life and i am ashamed to say i did not start truly appreciating it until i was 18. i passed up an opportunity to see them in high school and now 3 or 4 years later i have seen them twice, collected all their albums, and met Bill Payne, Paul Barrere and Ken Gradney. wish i could have been around when Lowell was jamming with them. just thought i would share my story with fellow Feat fans. rest in peace Lowell and Richie!
@fishordie2 same here dude. My whole life all my dad listened to was feat, the who, zep, hendrix, clapton, etc. and now its all i listen too. thanks to my dad for saving me from what people call music today.
Cigargurl you could not have said it better. They DON'T make em like this anymore. A rhythm section that reaches right through your belly, grabs a hold of your spine and rocks you back in forth to a groove you never thought you could know.
I never, ever get tired of listening to their music.
Cigargurl you could not have said it better. They DON'T make em like this anymore. A rhythm section that reaches right through your belly, grabs a hold of your spine and rocks you back in forth to a groove you never thought you could know.
I never, ever get tired of listening to their music.
I saw them in 1972 in Memphis at the Overton park Shell, backing Bonnie Raitt, then they blew the roof off on their own. I saw them in '77 on the final tour at the War Memorial in Nashville, unbelievable. Gave every album to my son when he was at Ole Miss and he had all of his buddies (and ladies) butt shaking to Feat music.
Best boogie band ever, Lowell was the best slide player and his voice was one of a kind, love seeing these videos in his prime.
Heard them first on WGOE in Richmond, Virginia when I was a freshman at Virginia Union University. I think I was the only fan on campus, so what! Loved the music and searched for this music a long time. Long live Little Feat!
Best music and lyric combination ever with "put my money in the meter baby so it won't run down, but you, got caught in squeeze play on the cheezy side of town, throw me a line, throw me a dime."
@omwhite83 - I loved em - was a stage manager at WIU (small hick college in Illinois) they were the nicest guys I ever met - and I lucked out and sat on the stage miss em
Wow!! What else needs to be said.

Was so lucky to be there and then. An amazing day. This footage is shot and soundprocessed by the crew of the national Dutch television way back in 76. Things were primitive then; the scaffolding in front of the band.. Almost no lightning, because it was daytime (!) Truly unique, and never seen or heard since.

@woody1955 Woody, my man, you got that so right. This was state of the art at the time and just good enough to capture all the right nuances. Look at the glazed faces on them Dutch boys and girls! They ain't never seen nuthin' like it. This is truly AMERICAN music. It's a frickin' melting pot of country, funk, boogie-woogie, R&R with subversive jazz licks underneath courtesy of Mr. Payne and that arsenal of keyboards he's packin'.

Do these boys make you smile or what? When they hit the groove, there was nobody to match Little Feat. 1976 eh? Jeez...

When Lowell left Frank Zappa's band, Frank states that "George left to start a country band with a funky beat". That he did! Awesome

God I loved these guys. Too bad Lowell George did a John Belushi just when he was hitting the top! Rest in peace, Lowell and Richie. "All I want in my life and time is some good clean fun"

@martykate Lowell passed from a heart attack, friends. Also had HepB, hypertension and sky-high cholesterol. The man was a myocardial infarc waitin' to happen.

@cigargurl He also did a speedball and that set things into motion. As Bill Payne put it, Lowell would take 2 steps forward and five steps back. some of the most talented are the most self destructive

@martykate (sigh) You got a point, my man. He was also a heavy smoker and known for his fondness for Courvoisier. It all woulda caught up with him eventually. But damn, what a talent while we had him.

my dad played this music my whole life and i am ashamed to say i did not start truly appreciating it until i was 18. i passed up an opportunity to see them in high school and now 3 or 4 years later i have seen them twice, collected all their albums, and met Bill Payne, Paul Barrere and Ken Gradney. wish i could have been around when Lowell was jamming with them. just thought i would share my story with fellow Feat fans. rest in peace Lowell and Richie!

Cigargurl you could not have said it better. They DON'T make em like this anymore. A rhythm section that reaches right through your belly, grabs a hold of your spine and rocks you back in forth to a groove you never thought you could know.
I never, ever get tired of listening to their music.

I saw them in 1972 in Memphis at the Overton park Shell, backing Bonnie Raitt, then they blew the roof off on their own. I saw them in '77 on the final tour at the War Memorial in Nashville, unbelievable. Gave every album to my son when he was at Ole Miss and he had all of his buddies (and ladies) butt shaking to Feat music.
Best boogie band ever, Lowell was the best slide player and his voice was one of a kind, love seeing these videos in his prime.

Heard them first on WGOE in Richmond, Virginia when I was a freshman at Virginia Union University. I think I was the only fan on campus, so what! Loved the music and searched for this music a long time. Long live Little Feat!

Best music and lyric combination ever with "put my money in the meter baby so it won't run down, but you, got caught in squeeze play on the cheezy side of town, throw me a line, throw me a dime."
