Little Feat - Fat Man In The Buthtub - live 1975

Performed on The Old Grey Whistle Test.
The most underrated '70s band to come out of Los Angeles

[@Ozziesboy]

My daughter (grown) called me excited from hearing little feat on the radio. she's a fan from a kid!

[@tunesmith7437]

ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER....EVER.

[@blackfinjrblackfinjr3555]

Agree 100%

[@robertdecker6010]

Lowell is playing percussion and slide simultaneously...unreal! Freakin monster talent gone too soon.

[@mcmike100]

No he's not. When he's playing cowbell, Paul Barrere is playing slide. Paul played slide on a number of Little Feat songs including Dixie Chicken. He's a pretty good slide player with a different style than Lowell George. Look at 0:05. You can see his slide.

[@dmb6559]

There is no other band today that even comes close!

[@richardmitchell2527]

Damn Man, so glad I grew up listening to them!

[@NotaFEDjed]

Finally a band with two aux drummers. Outstanding!

[@Nemodog]

I’m still crying for you Lowell! Such a tragedy!

[@false-flagburner4184]

Greatest Little Feat Rockabilly tune of all fking time! - Lowell George !

[@timothyedsall9424]

Pure TALENT ❤

[@geofftouretz93]

The greatest band in all the land!

[@Cerph]

They own the funk.

[@paolodavid3230]

In the whole friggin' orb!

[@marvinshaberesq.5072]

Saw the original Feat in 1977 at the Orpheum in Boston back in my college days. Lowell George was a great talent but the full sound of these musicians collectively as Little feat was just astounding.It was the "Time Loves a Hero Tour" and I'm so glad I saw them live before Lowell passed--another meteoric talent who burned away way too soon, but left a bevy of music that is still current in execution and delightful in its lyrics.

[@davidr1676]

And amazing how they were musicians for musicians too, otherwise they'd long ago been in the Hall of Fame. Then again, who needs them to say what was good.

[@pconlisk]

What rhythm and blues and vocals. Great mixers of music and ideas.

[@NSKEIKI23]

I was Born in 1975 when they were recording this! Man they are good!!

[@sagegoodwin1]

So unique sounding, with well written songs. The band is super tight live and I’m constantly blown away by them

[@katanaki3059]

Why do I love this song so much?

[@humanbeing5300]

Richie Hayward always looks blasted into,the stratosphere

[@jamieshaffer6493]

How long have you been playing drums? Richie- " about 8 feet"

[@1346crecy]

Whistle Test again folks. Was there a better music show? This band had everything by the way.

[@mr.cliffordjohnson6304]

One of my favorite bands.

[@sagegoodwin1]

God dang these guys are rock solid huh? Can’t find a ‘mailed in’ song by them just beautifully written tunes🎶

[@redsammy7789]

saw them new years eve in Houston 1978 , they were awesome

[@jameskeller7238]

My Lord, LG could sing the funky blues!

[@craigstahl1874]

Thank you for this video. LG is Hendrix of the swamp.

[@dwamish]

Waiting for Columbus mb the most underrated live album in R&R history.

[@namcat53]

Only an unaware child would call Waiting for Columbus "underrated".

[@rupertpupkin001]

My friends dad put me on to these dudes. I thank him for giving me this gift of music. Rest in peace Wilson aka Big Wick you’ll forever be missed. I hope you’re at peace now my friend. Rest up!

[@v2vroth]

What a big shame that they are not in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame WTF? They do have lowell George’s tour jacket and iconic Strat in there. But the band is not I don’t know why.

[@lisafox1001]

Seriously, why are they not in the r&r hall of fame? Maybe they were too bluesy/funky?

[@s.elsworth3068]

Politics.

[@richiejohnson]

As posted elsewhere, and only intended as historic preservation, the Fat Man in the Bathtub is his girl's period

[@karenstepp669]

LOL!!! LOL!!!!! Are you serious??! That information makes this song even more hilarious, and I already loved it 😂 Kinda adds the missing link to understanding the story they are telling, and for me, now everything makes sense 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for sharing that.... Lowell was brilliant!

[@philbather6557]

What a band what a song LEGENDARY 👍

[@dougthePogingguitarist]

love this song

[@timothyedsall9424]

I wish I realized this band years earlier. I was years behind them.. but you just can't know every band . Too little too late 😢

[@philly8462]

They were a great band.

Only an out of it, unaware child that only knew last week's rap tune would ever call Little Feat "underrated".

[@beachcomber4141]

Jesus!!!!

[@8877robert]

Oh yeaaaah , you catch that?

[@idontlikemonkeys]

How much time did they spend in New Orleans?

[@griffinpaul4269]

Lowell looks like he just got done at the country club

[@gregormiller4037]

with a fresh 1/4 package :)

[@justaguy2365]

I think the story goes, they did have a show the night before and the only time they could film them the next day was early in the morning so they were all going on a few hours sleep, maybe none at all

[@OzMan9989]

KICKASS! Nothin more to say

[@sickofthebulldodo1461]

Black cop from Barney Miller on bass. Damn good too. What a great band so freaking underrated I wish I got it back then I was all consumed with everything Zeppelin and Sabbath.

[@DaveBassTrekker]

Bass player is a guy named Kenny Gradney, from Baton Rouge. Barney Miller character was played by a near doppelganger name of Ron Glass, from Evansville, Indiana.

[@josephmajane61]

Ya lucky i am!

[@danocable]

No there not, and ain’t nobody writing songs like Lowell George.!!!!

[@roberthorn333]

Great ensemble bands went bye bye for sure, these dudes were off the chain, and in their own way so was Steely Dan.

[@BigWahly23]

I love Lowell George and little feat just as much as the next guy but if you think there’s no contemporary music this good I feel sorry for you.
