Little Feat Dixie Chicken

Little Feat At Rainbow Theatre London 1977.

[@1blastman]

It's a crime that LF aren't in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Lowell George was a musical genius and the music world was deprived of some great songwriting.

[@pamelasilver3129]

You know it!

[@rickhalpern9560]

Unfortunately entry into the R&R Hall of Fame is somewhat political. :(

[@keeganstewart3916]

Totally agree.

[@Tincanbanana3030]

One of the greatest

[@1blastman]

@@rickhalpern9560 I know and they've had the original "Apolitical Blues".

[@greenthumbguy1]

I toured with Grateful Dead and Little Feat years ago. If I had a time machine, I would take you with me...:-)

[@1blastman]

If you ever get an extra ticket, I'll geaux!

[@dancingtrout6719]

Always Handy With A Song

[@shnookylangston]

There'll never be another band like this one, and there'll never be another singer/guitar player like Lowell.

[@jmb92555]

Richie Hayward...great drummer. Love the syncopation, polyrhythms, and unexpected accents :)

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Richie was great for sure! He meshed so well with Kenny Gradney’s Bass lines.

[@jotenor]

One of my favorite all time bands. They were amazing. They should have gotten more recognition.

[@TylerKiddy]

Im a 24 year old guitar player. I was learning jazz and blues growing up. I got real into the Allman brothers. When I found this version thanks to youtube of little feat; i converted. I saw little feat without knowing who they were at my first concert ever with the doobie bros when I was 16. Man... Im lucky to have discovered this live song and this unbelievable band.

[@vincepaulsel8710]

Amen!

[@1blastman]

Welcome to the "Feats Nevah Fail Me Now!" club

[@peterulrich497]

One of the very best bands ever if musical talent is the standard.

[@DH-xm3hc]

I agree ✌️❤️🌼 Still listening ❤️ 2022

[@olly8]

Slow funky rock & roll. Nobody like 'em! Puts me in the Groove every time I hear them😁💃🏻❤️‍🔥 Slow & Sexy kickin ass music. TOTALLY UNIQUE 💫 Pure pleasure from my ears to my feat... Little Feat 🔥are FIRE!

[@rquan61]

This is off the scale! Beyond being cllassified to any one genre This song and band is finally being recognized for their greatness. Lowell was a genius and brought everybodies talent to the fore front. Long may Lowell live in his music!

[@b22091]

I saw Little feet multiple times in the DC area (mostly @ Lisner Auditorium) throughout the early 70's and they remain one of the most talented group of musicians I ever saw. Seemed like every concert had super big names "drop in" like Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt. Little Feet, Santana, and Pink Floyd are my musical benchmarks to this day.

[@nickdanger18]

with apologies to the beatles,stones & the dead,this is one of the alltime great songs ever .

[@pollysmith4673]

geo charles no apology needed my friend.

[@chuckryan6065]

Why would you have to apologize?

[@timnelson9323]

geo charles great song my friend! I was at Lisner Auditorium when they recorded this song in 1977.

[@chuckwilliam9041]

Why apologize?

[@susanstrano3751]

Whatagreatbanfd

[@cocoalump]

I saw Little Feat at Misner Auditorium at GWU,Wash DCin 1980 or 81 during my college days..GREAT SHOW..,,boy I'm getting old...lol

[@davidarmenta5613]

You are already old..and so am I. Never saw Litte Feat live until the Tribute Concert for Lowell George with Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Brown, Emmy Lou and Bonnie Raitt among others. What a show

[@brucegoodwin634]

Jellll-ous!

[@donalonzo63]

i am 38 years old - my dad played this right through from aged 1 to 38 years - never seen this clip before - JUST WONDERFUL

[@tedbissell7277]

I remember first hearing this in Blues Seas Studios. A floating studio built on a houseboat, built on an old ocean barge, floating in Baltimore Harbor by my friend Steve...Boone...Thx Steve for affording me the OPPORTUNITY to play with these BEAUTIFUL musicians and carvers of common faith! And thanks ALL who have listened to the music since then!! :-)

[@janicekay4186]

Lucky you. My fave band of all time

[@stargazer6753]

I was watching the tribute concert and decided to look him up on Wikipedia . I was amazed at how many artists other than Jackson Browne championed the genius of Lowell George in covers , in songs about him , and in songs that only alluded to him . He was such an outlier of rock and roll that he became a cult figure . For that reason and others his songs with their content really couldn’t be played on the radio . He had played with so many great bands , starting with Frank Zappa. But again , they would probably not be played on the radio ; consequently he never made much money ; consequently the tribute concert to raise money for his family . Jackson has spent most of life championing Lowell George and called him " The Orson Wells of Rock and Roll “, another outlier and genius , among other things.

[@tieniebadenhorst7826]

I have been a keen follower of Little Feat for many many years and basically have a full CD collection released by the band. Including a CD of Lowell George. Such a pity that the band is mainly unknown in SA. I had to import all their albums/cds over the years. What a great band and music they have made over the years. One of my favorite bands. Greetings from South Africa.

[@curson5206]

I miss my South Africa. It’s were my soul resides. Cheer’s

[@clemsonsucksballs]

Wont find a better 7 minutes of music in the world. Beautiful.

[@1923dsa1]

I was able to see Little Feat several times and they never failed to amaze as a live band. Of course, it was 30 years ago. But their music still is played in my house....Billy Payne was one of the real special piano players of his day...don't know what he is doing now. All in all, one great concert without fail, especially with the proper state of mind. Lowell is doing the boogie in heaven.

[@SuperScotch23]

My feats have been tappin to these tunes,since I first heard em' many moons ago! Lowell george,You ROCK! nobody can do it like lowell and the feat! ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!

[@danalaniz7314]

Love this! I was lucky enough to see the band in Dallas in the 70's and I'll never forget the awesome experience!

[@Katalysator53]

The guitarplaying in the middle - it's sublime!

[@jeffl8328]

RIP Lowell, Richie, and Paul. Heaven must really be rockin' now.

[@ffej980]

the interplay between lowell and paul...was always amazing...

[@TheRealForrestGeorge]

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis And the Commodore Hotel And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle Oh she took me to the river, where she cast her spell And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland We made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine Then the low-down southern whiskey, yea, began to fog my mind And I don't remember church bells, or the money i put down On the white picket fence and boardwalk On the house at the end of town Oh but boy do i remember the strain of her refrain And the nights we spent together And the way she called my name If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Many years since she ran away Yes that guitar player sure could play She always liked to sing along She always handy with a song But then one night at the lobby of the Commodore Hotel I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song And all the boys there, at the bar, began to sing along If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland, Down in Dixieland

[@hergianfrea6797]

Dave?

[@bluesriot2]

dave's not here

[@yosemitesam532]

Lowell George, the lead singer, parted us a long time ago, but he gave us Dixie Chicken.

[@greenthumbguy1]

No kidding! Little Feat is one of the best jam bands ever! Saw them with Grateful Dead long ago and am still dancing!

[@hergianfrea6797]

Dave?

[@russbuford8392]

LF was my gateway band into the Dead. Saw them in 77.😂

[@spikespa5208]

Admitting it was a heavily mixed compilation of different concerts, my original "Waiting For Columbus" album is a prized possession.

[@amylebo4636]

ugh, there are not too many people on the planet that I miss more than lowell george. he and levon helm and warren zevon all shook me to the core. i have a fantasy that they're playing in the most kick-ass band in the afterlife somewhere. :)

[@marioperella2253]

Amy Lebo Thats right on! Would be a unreal band!!

[@marioperella2253]

The singing would be heavenly

[@eddavajo]

fuck yes.. I want to be the fucking audience..

[@potatohead6524]

oh yeah, and Leon Russell with em

[@tallboy2234]

potato head yeah! Leon’s piano!

[@markstanton2362]

Had the pleasure of seeing Little Feat in 1976 at the Whiskey Go Go on Sunset Strip. That might a beautiful woman with hair to her knees was singing with them--Nicolette Larson.

[@hsp2444]

thanks to my older brother i grew up listening to these fine peeps and many more from this era x

[@zuck21]

GRADNEY AND HAYWARD TWO OF THE BEST

[@esauerkraut7360]

Tightest band of all time, bar none.

[@southernoutlaw6480]

esauerkraut : Except for the Allman Brothers,no disrespect intended.But yes have to agree they were a GREAT BAND especially live,makes you want to get up and dance.With that been said my friend "May all your fatback be between two slices of bread ,and your ups & downs be between the sheets!! :)

[@EddieMoon-eo8dz]

What Alost talent God blessed him.amend.

[@InterNotno]

Wow, what a great sound for a live event and perfomance by the band of course.

[@steakman]

I am so ashamed to admit that until recently i have never heard any music by Little Feat. After seeing this live video i have no clue why it took me so long to come across them. Fucking ripping it up.

[@johnknottenbelt2502]

Now if you love Little Feet as much a I do, you'll Put on your Boogie Shoes, Grab your Dixie Chicken, get Willin & of course able, & dance until that Rooster Crows, "hey guys it's time to wake up the sun & put the moon to bed" ! And if anyone asks you, tell them why, tell them that's what the Rock n Roll Doctor said.

[@christopherhubbard7077]

Cany wait I got a rocket in my pocket !!

[@eponymousIme]

People who love them know how to spell their name.

[@rocker53zero]

Every time i hear this song, it takes me right back in time to The Midland Hotel on York Street, Belfast, where Kenny Mc Dowell (Spike) used to do a flawless cover of this number

[@jeffcochran2195]

💯❤ right on sweet sister!

[@mizrae]

I was on my way to interview him when I found out that he was dead. The interview didn't matter anymore, I just pulled to the side on PCH and cried. And I still cry when I hear his brilliant songs

[@deckbose]

Had just seen Lowell on his solo "Thanks I'll Eat It Here" tour not 4 days before I heard the terrible news. I broke down as well, and even though I've seen Little Feat a half dozen times since that horrible day, it's never been the same.

[@kimberlynah1]

Raechel Donahue 😪

[@woa8447]

Where were you going to interview him?

[@DavidM-sy8pb]

Oddly enough, the same thing happened to me, with Ronnie VanZant. Not the same day though, some months out. I just remember listening to the radio in complete disbelief. I sat in a small town grocery store parking lot at 11pm thinking it couldn't be true. I didn't leave until 3am. Total shock.

[@timnelson9323]

Raechel Donahue we all cried Rachel.

[@ParFive]

Who writes songs like this anymore? No body! Great lyrics with a groove that keeps groovin'!

[@clafong9]

When you compile the all-time rock greats list, Lowell George has to be way, way up that list. Could sing with soul, wrote great songs and played a mean slide guitar. I am so glad I got to see them live a few times before his passing.

[@jeffcochran2195]

Absolutely love this jam ❤💯 oh the memories!

[@sempermerde]

I realize more and more how spoiled we all were back in the day by how much new, different, and wonderful music was coming out by the day. This is just a sweet reminder of the seemingly endless talent there was to be heard... I just love this.

[@henryVIIIification]

Folks you will never hear any two guitars play off each other better than this. Some call this chemistry when the perfect mix of musicians somehow come together. This is called Synergy. The interaction of parts or elements that when combined produce a total effect greater than the sum of the individual elements. In other words it's kinda magical. When it works there is absolutely nothing like it.

[@bobutler6451]

You have heard D Betts & D Allman, right? Let's not sacking Lil Feats' ducks just yet gents.js

[@henryVIIIification]

All opinions I suppose. But to my ears Feats syncopated funk is as good as gets. Nobody did it better. The Allman brothers were great but there's only one Feat. If you can sit still through this better check that pulse. They could be the House Band anywhere in New Orleans and that's saying a lot.

[@UKcanuck55]

ainthurtinnobody Both The Allman Brothers and Little Feat are joy to the ears.

[@henryVIIIification]

Amen. Pass the plate.

[@GaryLeventhal]

IMHO the Irony lies that they, or at least Lowell did such great work high as a kite most of the time. But still concise and always with that chemistry, Synergy and magical interaction you speak of rarely missing a beat. Unlike the Grateful dead whom I love and enjoy but while most dead heads wont admit were very sloppy, but they still played there hearts out.

[@sawbuzz]

I love little feet. My kids know these songs by heart! I just wish I could have seen them live when lowell George was still alive! I love all their songs!

[@bubblegumrabbit1398]

Hard day of work, feet killing me, limping home , swollen knees , steel toes weighing me down, wondering why... Then I hit this on my playlist and all is well

[@charlestaylor1584]

Get off your knees.

[@moonpie8ful]

One of my fav bands of all time!

[@Hulehan]

Have been big Feat fan since 1st album.. when I was a Florida boy and could get to Hotlanta less than a six-pack :-) Saw them recently at Alexandria (VA) Red Cross Waterfront Festival where my SON was one of the lead-on groups :-), so dad got back-stage pass, front row seat, met them after the concert and they signed poster for him.. he likes them... the circle is unbroken... and I'm still willin' Wayne - Alexandria, VA

[@terryhogan2683]

One of the best guitar battles ever!

[@bluesriot2]

a jam moreso than a battle, very special nonetheless, i hear the zappa sound from willie the pimp in this mix

[@friendlybanjoatheist5464]

One of my favorite videos anywhere on KZbin.

[@starbabyonline]

Rest in peace Paul Barrere

[@konopelli]

Possibly one of the most recognizable riff/bridges is rock'n'roll it this'n... One of the best jam-bands EVAAR!

[@rukusfan1387]

SOOO glad they did a good job on the audio and vid - this is a capture for sure

[@spark214233]

I had my parties in Georgia in mid 70's and several had this to make it better. Oh yeah Mothers Finest rocked also

[@martock36]

Every thing, every comment, thought or posted, about this Band, is so straight from the gut soul, so personal. Pretty sure these Boys owned a part of our Hearts. Feats don't fail me now.

[@jonswan2288]

Was Liz listening to Garth Brooks dixie Chicken and then Little Feet came on never heard of them awesome now awesome thank you for giving me dixie Chicken

[@vnelson2]

Lowell's gone, but Little Feat plays on! I saw them this week in NYC and it was a great show!

[@BeebControl]

I was there, man. Great concert. First time I saw them live.

[@rusty5705]

As a feat fan since 1973, I only have one thing to say to anyone just getting into them. "If you like country with a boogie beat... they can't be beat... I say they can't be beat!"

[@1blastman]

By now you must have : "Two degrees in be-bop, a phd in swing, you have natural rhythm, you're a rock and roll king!"

[@Allen-xu2wv]

From Richmond Virginia to NYC, 4 of us traveled with feat

[@thingsetcetra]

TDCS. Always my favorite!

[@ForeverTogether219]

My 2…… 😮

[@groovekingmuzz2699]

Ritchie!Everything he touched just grooved..RIP.....Killer band....Killer song..

[@michaelmacomber]

Saw Little Feat with the Dead at Oxford Plains speedway in Maine back in the late 80's(those years were a blur). Just came across an old cassette of Waiting for Columbus and lucky for me my wife's Volvo s60 actually has a cassette deck. Played it the last couple of days to reminisce and WOW! forgot how hard these cats rocked! They should be in the RR HOF!!!! Little Feat is possible thanks to Frank Zappa but I'm glad their music is not as insane( sorry Mother's fans). I hope these guys don't fade away like the old rockers they are. Somehow a whole new generation needs to find the soul enriching music these guys make. Hope yall agree.

[@2right2run]

Michael Macomber

[@paulhalle8352]

one needs to listen to all their music with Lowell to appreciate just how good they were - was lucky to see them in 79 with him - big loss when the fat man slipped - was also at Oxford Plains - what a great pre-fourth of July weekend in 88 - was awesome that the Feat got back together and carried on the music from George and their own brand

[@rickhamm5707]

Waiting on Columbus is sick

[@unsound64]

Thanks to my dear mother for introducing me to Little Feat

[@Tubeornottube4]

Just saw Paul and Fred do an acoustic show in Kent OH. Them boys still have it. Won a pair of tix to see the next Feat show too, can't wait. I wish Craig Fuller would rejoin the group, he came close to Lowells vocals and Paul can handle most of his riffs. One of my all time favorites. The good old days.

[@dieterhoch8273]

I was one of the boys at the bar singing along. Damn whiskey.

[@iamstyx2004]

Saw Little Feat open for Van Morrison in Albuquerque NM around 77' Little Feat blew everyone away, most came to see Morrison, The crowd booed Morrison off the stage. Morrison walked off after only 10 minuets on stage. We already got our moneys worth that night.

[@nashvegasnow]

thanks nutbrook i always thot the allman brothers were the original jam band of my generation and as much as i love the abb wouldnt want to live without them now i know what a f'n groove!

[@danielleadams2880]

Hell yes nothing like a little, Little Feat & some Dixie chicken, listed on Sanity Reasons.way to go dude

[@MikeSmith-xd1ho]

Best live band ever!

[@npspec34]

played here on 8-19 with alot of stuff off "Time Loves a Hero" - an undervalued LP. They were never the same w/o Lowell, however.

[@timferguson1593]

One of my favorite songs of all time! I miss Lowell George!

[@jaded4evr966]

Got to see them middle 90s in Birmimgham, Al. Was a great night and time.

[@gregormiller4037]

Serious? Ya don't even remember that night....shhhh

[@cmonidons]

Just watched some Van Morrison on this marvellous site and, like Van, Mr George and his compadres were always a class above. Just magic!! Thank you for posting

[@nickdanger18]

i was lucky enough to see them in a small venue in charlotte,nc while lowell george was still with us.praise to the rock n roll gods...........

[@colmmccann3485]

Havn`t heard this for years still cool. was a favourite track of a good friend of mine who passed away recently. This ones for you Paddy!!

[@susanmcdaniel798]

17 years ago saw this live I close my eyes and listen and see it all again

[@beef88]

Born in ‘84. Thank fk I was raised, listening to LF - by older parents

[@poolbear2160]

Saw them 6 times and saw Lowell a few days before he passed at Alexander's in Browns Mills N.J. Also saw Chicken Legs which was the remaining members group after Lowell died and before they went back to calling themselves Little feat again. I was so destroyed when I heard the news of his passing. I cried for about 3 days. A friend of mine gave me a German Shepard that week and I named him Lowell,

[@BrettOrlando]

poured red wine and listen to a great song wished others appricitated

[@nwtrunner]

Love it! Takes me back to when my buddies and I were in St John's, Newfoundland and we LOVED Little Feat. Nice to have remeberings! Is remembering a word? What the heck - we have rememberings!

[@conradsdad]

Oh the parties we had at Georgia in 1978-79 while listening to this! I'm from Boston, but my new friends kept playing this and Mothers Finest and Zappa's Sleep Dirt, and I was hooked.

[@ibm650]

These guys aren't done yet. I saw them last year at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco and they just burned the doors off this song. They are SO underappreciated. They rank up there with the Dead (of course) and The Band at its best.

[@kris101d]

my fav Little Feat song, can listen to this over and over thanks for posting it :)

[@thingsetcetra]

This was amazing!

[@bigbobfrombondi]

I was in the audience...one of the best shows I'd ever seen or even seen since. They were headling and we're joined by the Tower of Power horns. Lowell George was THE Man!

[@illchilla09]

Just heard this song for the first time today.Great music

[@julie1039]

I love this song....grew up listening to it...not that old lol...my dad had their albums

[@Yamah12a]

harmonys at 5:45 are amazing, after that super solo!!

[@abid676767]

Brings back memories. fantastic. music

[@LoneRevD]

Agreed, RIP Ritchie. Best groove drummer I think I've ever heard and put the Feat in Little Feat...

It was sad day when Lowell George passed on. Little Feat was and will always be a great band!
