Hi Forrest, I first saw Little Feat at Paul's Mall only because my friends dragged me to the show--I'd never heard of them before. Emmy Lou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Melisa Manchester were backup singers, Tower of Power the horn section, and of course Lowell and Little Feat. I had front row seats in a club that sat maybe 200 people for both their shows that night. Got to talk with the band between shows and found they would be in Atlanta in a couple of weeks. Next day I went out and bought all their albums and then drove to Atlanta to see them at a "dance club", then again in Boston and Honolulu. The best live band of all time, still play them regularly. So many great songs and it's amazing how unknown they still are. I love turning people on to them.

@@tswrench That was both condescending AND missed the point, nicely done. Yes, people who were around to experience rock in the 70s probably didn't consider Little Feat underrated at the time, especially while Lowell George was still alive. But I almost never hear them talked about these days, and even if you're discussing 70s rock, there are probably 100 other bands you hear discussed and played more often than Little Feat. I believe they deserve more discussion and more listening *today*, especially when compared to many other groups from their time, and that makes them underrated *today*, in my opinion.

@@MrHunterbuchanan -- I must have missed the part in your original comment where you're only referring to "today" when you characterize Little Feat and their signature song as "absolutely underrated." Let me look again... Nope. It's not there. So, no, I don't see how that works, You go on to say that the "absolutely underrated" band and song gets the highest rating from Jimmy Page, one of the biggest names of all time in the music world. That doesn't sound like underrated to me, so I don't get how that works, either. This comments section is full of people posting the same inane assessments about the band as being "underrated," or as having "never got their due." Have a look, it's everywhere, like horseshit. We are talking about a band with millions of fans (even today) who bought millions of albums, a band that's headlined--God knows how many--sold-out shows, and the list goes on. When you haven't learned anything, you don't know anything, but that doesn't seem to stop the know-nothings from trampling the legacy of a band with their urge to put what they don't know into writing. I think that's how that works.

That was a Warner Bros. Records package deal that night on MS! Little Feat, Emmylou (Reprise), Bonnie, and Jesse Winchester (Bearsville) were all on Warners proper, or a subsidiary in the '70s. As you might imagine, they were all good buds...I know Lowell and Bonnie certainly were. I met Bonnie backstage at Houston's legendary (and long defunct) Liberty Hall around the time of the release of her '71 debut album. I was so proud of being the entertainment editor of my high school newspaper (a daily....mimeographed!), that I showed her my little business card stating my position. "Now I know you're a narc!" she said! A gracious and kind lady, it took a 1989 move to Capitol Records for her to become a household name, but she's a deserving and wonderful talent....including shining a welcome light on longtime blues pioneers who influenced her, like Sippie Wallace.

Yes to all of the above. I've seen Little Feat many times (unfortunately, none before Lowell George died) but anyway...one of the band members (can't recall which now) lives in Topanga Canyon (Los Angeles area). There's a tiny outdoor theatre "The Will Geer (as in Grandpa Walton) Theatricum Botanicum" in that area which holds about 500 people. Typically, they just do plays there - but the wife of that band member either ran it or managed the theater company - so Little Feat ended up doing a show there. They built an elaborate set on stage of the Spanish Moon Cafe and when they played that song, members of the theater company dressed as "hookers and hustlers" did indeed fill up the room and circulated throughout the theater. It was an amazing show.

I was fortunate enough to see them live in San Diego in the spring of 1978. I had never heard of Little Feat (hey, I was 18) and this concert was amazing!! The opening artist was Robert Palmer (yes, THAT guy) and I walked away impressed. During this tour Little Feat recorded their live album, "Waiting for Columbus." Another good song from them is "Fat Man in the Bathtub." Smooth southern rock!! 💙💙

I want thank you for all you do. Music is a mighty river that has many streams feeding it, going back centuries. The human voice, the first instrument and strings, percussion and wind instruments all creating the best thing we humans ever made, and no pollution. I am on the other side of 70 and your channel represents what the REACTION I first had when I heard songs on the radio for the first time. Top 40 and Soul Stations and then FM, a real mix of sounds. Truly open playlists. Surprises every time. Keep on keeping on. Be well in all dimensions.

In 1978 and 1979 I got to work stage crew for Emmylou, Bonnie, LittleFeat, and Lowell Solo. Great songs and even better musicians. All tremendously nice people.

Thanks a bunch for this one, Jamel. Always loved NBC's "Midnight Special" because every act played live. Seeing Bonnie Raitt makes me wish you would react to her haunting cover of Joni Mitchell's "That Song About the Midway."

I saw them and Bonnie in Norfolk in the late 70's sing this song. The line "...and all the boys at boys at the bar began to sing along.." taught me to go slow with that new "love". Great song.

Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page said Little Feat was his favorite band during this time. Check out their live album ‘Waiting For Columbus’, and listen to ‘Fat Man In The Bathtub’, and ‘Rocket In My Pocket’ for starters. Criminally underrated band, in my opinion! One of my all-time favorite bands!!!
