I know I'm a little late but I became a Little Feat fan in 2000.I'm glad I got to know what a complete badass drummer Richie Hayward was! To me I thought he was underrated as a Drummer and musician he was a complete player and one of my favorites. R.I.P. Mr Richie Hayward. You won't be forgotten.
THIS SONG ROCKS.......STILL ROCKS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.....A TRUE CLASSIC TOP ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC SELECTION. GREAT CHORD CHANGES AND FANTASTIC RHYTHYM!
WFC = Greatest Live Album Ever Recorded. There hasn't been a week since 1978 I have not heard a track from it. The extended version released later was a god send. What couldn't get better... Did. I never forgave WB for what they did to that CD release. WB the GM of music.
May 11,1978 - Fox Theater, Atlanta Georgia...the John Hall Band opened for them...Lowell and Paul had their Music Man amps screaming. The only thing missing from the Columbus album was the Tower of Power horn section. A spot on wonderful show, we left with air under our shoes, like we were changed. Lowell barely survived 12 more months and now Ritchie is gone too. They were too cool for the 70's and too good for the 80's....There is a lot of good music now, sure...but no Little Feat. RIP
@martianshoes Hey, how ya doing. I worked on the crew @ the FOX at that show and many others. 3 days of the BEST music I have ever heard. And I heard a lot great music the years I worked there. What a party!!!
Lowell swallowed a handful of Qualudes and washed them down with a glass of straight Golden Grain and played his ass off!!! man, I sure miss those days....RIP Ritchie, see ya sometime, my brothers already there listening to you guys. CYA
Any Feats Fan knows his drumming along with Gradneys bass was the foundation their whole sound was built on but since seeing this vid(many times) I cant listen to feats without hearing his backing vocals - whoever turned him up on this recording deserves thanks for properly exposing his vocal talents.Wish I had seen them back when Lowell was alive but did get to see them around early 90's in my hometown Old Orchard Beach Maine at "the ballpark" RIP Ritchie sadly missed.........
I still remember the exact moment I heard on the radio that Lowell George had passed away. I was driving cross country from the East Coast to the West and was somewhere on County O in Wisconsin. I had to pull over and grieve by the side of the road. ..
Southern frien music at it's best. This one of the reasons the south is famous. Take your shoes off, get some catshish and hush puppies, and a cold tallneck beer. This is the stuff.
i wish someone would upload their first two albums, and I'd love to hear the studio version of 'Spanish Moon'. This live recording, of course, is exceptional---Lowell was awake.
this groove is the groove of life.. if you don't feel it in your bones then you ain't livin.

R.I.P. Ritchie Hayward! I recall his many motorcycle accidents, but never thought he'd die any other way. Great drummer and great guy.

sigh.....none better than WFC. production values, Tower of Power (stroke of genius in itself), vocals. individual performances, arrangements, improvs.
matter of fact, I'm putting it on right now!
RIP, indeed, Lowell
