Little Feat - Dixie Chicken

[@MrScottsearles]

"Oh oh off our rockers acting crazy and with the right medication we won't be lazy". "You know that you're over the hill when your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill" -Old Folks Boogie. Spanish Moon, Cold Cold Cold are two other great songs. RIP Lowell and Paul Barrere.

Saw them in Little Rock as a teen in the mid '70s. They were packaged at the time with other southern rock bands. I think it was Marshall Tucker or Charlie Daniels that were with them.

Such a great Band. Lowell left us too soon and left a huge hole in the industry. These guys just jam, such a good vibe and it just worked. They were great then and their music is still great now. Little Feat forever baby!

Groove, dynamics, melody, harmonies, syncopation, soul, heritage ... Lowell one of my heroes, from one of my all-time favourite bands from my favourite era. So grateful to have experienced 70s music & film during my lifetime✌️

I saw Little Feat at the Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, OK in 1978… I do believe. Love the congas ~ Hey ~ do that again! What a fabulous jam here… it soothes my transplanted southern soul! 😻

[@mass_of_rest]

Super brilliant performance

[@jeffbranchick1516]

Good heavens, talk about the perfect combination of six overwhelmingly talented musicians converging together at the right point in time! Doesn’t get any better than when The Feat hit one of their fantastic funky grooves and just roll on their swampy, R&B, Naw’lins rhythms. This era of music in the 70’s was unsurpassed in its creativity. So sorry and jealous that I never got to see them during Lowell’s time. Sadly missed opportunity. I did finally catch up with them when they reunited to carry the torch forward to honor Lowell and the bands history. Thank god for film footage like this as well as a monstrous body of recorded work. Rest in Eternal Musical Grooves Lowell, Kenney and Paul 🎶🎵🎶

[@madmax8949]

Saw them in Little Rock as a teen in the mid '70s. They were packaged at the time with other southern rock bands. And I'm pretty sure they were with either Marshal Tucker or Charlie Daniels when I saw them. Fred Tackett is from Little Rock. And yes, thank goodness for the archival footage of this amazing band!

I have seen every line up of this band since 1973. They were great with Lowell but great since and the new line up is sensational. Thanks for keeping this music alive boys!

Saw them in college in Boston in 1978. Amazing! The whole place was up and dancing. Left the show and got a scalped ticket to the late show and did it all over again. Maybe the best concerts of my life.

Everything about this is stunning to a rabid Little Feat fan. Bill Payne had natural ability (those hands) and immense talent. Whoever placed the camera so we could see him play should also have a monument or at least an honorable mention. Edit: I've read just about all the comments here and and each brings something interesting to light and mostly shows we all knew good music when we heard it and no it's not just embellished memories, It really was a landmark time in music and um, fun. A lot of damn fun.

In 1972 in SF CA, at the Cow Palace they played for a week with Doctor Hook and several other bands. It was a big promotion by a Pacific Stereo Electronics store. It was for a full week. The concert was an all day event that started around 10 am to midnight. I went most of that week. It was FREE!

I'm so in Love with Lowell George! I grew up in Macon and Chattanooga, so of course I heard the Feat on my AM/FM pocket radio,, but never saw what they looked like until a year ago when I really got into my KZbin premium music...zomg, LOVE!!* Mr George is the epitome of sexy hot attractiveness - mainly I think, because he was so understated. Not overdoing the rockstar god thing, but the consummate professional, imo, of course. I realize that the band has gotten back together - and they're REALLY good - but without their coverall wearing little fat man in a bathtub guy, jamming his ass off- I just can't get into it 😢😢❤🎉🎉😊
