Fabulous recording. Thank you, momsaterp. The full-show download link no longer works, but I have my own memories of Little Feat on Halloween night at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, either 1973 or 1974 . . . Can't remember what year it was, but the music is in my brain forever.

Glad you like it. This one was on Halloween, so you may have been there. I did a little googling and found a new link, so I've updated the description. (youtube won't let me put the link in the reply for some reason)

We still go see Feat when they come around, but they're not the same without Lowell. Love these old recordings, there's another one out there somewhere that I downloaded from Winterland in 1976. Enjoy.

You know, I wondered if this was from that same show. I've seen Little Feat a dozen times before Lowell died, so I get the years mixed up. I even saw Lowell -- in NY City at the now-defunct Bottom Line -- on his solo tour the month before he died in '79. Sadly, I agree with you about Little Feat, post-Lowell. I saw them a few months ago at The Winery in NYC, and it's just not the same. Fred Tackett can certainly play the guitar but it's a different vibe. I miss Lowell's growl.

yup. like your term "growl" - appropriate & accurate

Would that be Lakewood (Atlanta)?

[Joe Anderson]

Unfortunately I was only a little kid when Lowell was around and the Feat were at their peak. I did have the chance to see them in '91 with Craig Fuller at the front when they played with the Allman Bros., but I agree that there's just something missing without Lowell.

This vintage stuff is a treasure. Thank you so much for posting this!
