LITTLE FEAT Spanish Moon - REACTION - Its the place your mama warned you about! first time hearing

[@karlschwaber9568]

The most underrated band ever.

[@Cynthorrpg1]

Grand Funk Railroad just said "Hold My beer!" lol

[@dalecalabrese3352]

Waiting for Columbus is one of best live albums ever! With the Tower of Power horns there's no way you lose with this one...

[@samuelgates5935]

I fully agree it took me over 40 years to get a copy🎼🎶🎶🎼🎵

[@crazyfingers19]

@@samuelgates5935 hahaha. I’ve had my copy for over forty years. 🤣✌✌

[@anidiquaojala1804]

Yes❣️❣️❣️

[@johannbogason1662]

word!

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

What he said.

[@debrawhite6145]

Lowell George could sang - not sing, but sang! I'm 68. I discovered Little Feat in the early 70's before Lowell died. Oh, my goodness, what a phenomenal band. I hope you check out more of their music.

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

It's a shame the Rock & Roll Doctor couldn't save Lowell.

[@anncooper6941]

One of the best concerts I ever attended was L. F. and Bonnie Raitt at the Fox Theater in Atlanta GA. Hearing Lowell and Bonnie singing Guilty together was sublime.

[@chanmi1957]

I totally agree. Little Feat was one of my favorite band and still is. I will always warmly remember Lowell George. I saw them live in October, 1978. I had just given birth to my son 9 days prior. Nothing would have kept me from seeing them in concert. Lowell died not long after. Their music always brings a smile to my heart.

[@buddafingahz9057]

Really great seeing Little Feat getting some love. Thanks for the reaction.

[@chitownlee]

The horn section is The Tower of Power's horn section a fellow California band.

[@mvhoyt61able]

Harri do your self a favor get this album Waiting for Columbus. And play it in one sitting. It is in fact the greatest live album ever produced.

[@Macilmoyle]

One of the tightest rhythm sections ever assembled. I was lucky enough to be at the concert in this video in 1977.

[@EdwardFrebowitz]

How sick was Spanish Moon live?

[@Kat-gx3se]

I remember crying when Lowell George died. This music does not age.

[@roymoore3156]

Perhaps the single greatest concert I’ve been to, Little Feat was a pre-band for the Rolling Stones show in Stuttgart, W.Germany in 1976. I still jam with them these near 50 years later. RIP to the guys who’ve passed on. You can keep the Stones.

[@auldfouter8661]

Actually saw them in Glasgow in 1976 , part of The Who Put The Boot In Tour. One of the best ever bands, Long Distance Love is perfection.

[@JayOwinFull]

Never heard of this band until I stumbled upon them at summer camp this year in IL. Best musical experience of my life.

[@jeffputnam3582]

Thrilled they were just outside my hometown of Chillicothe for the festival.

[@fractuss]

Yep still great.

[@scott78731]

The groove is really in the Vince Gill version (Join the Band). At 3:11, marimba solo, bass solo, keyboard solo all in a row.

[@marybaillie8907]

Spanish Moon was a fictional club with whisky and bad cocaine. This was one of Little Feat's biggest hits. Funky jazzy, totally entertaining. Love the bass, the drums, the guitars, reminiscent of the 70's sound, that blasted the clubs back then. Great reaction Harri.Thanks Harri and Bushy. Fantastic song. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@paulfloyd8845]

Not a fictional nightclub the club was “Richards” in Atlanta GA 1970 -1972 Monroe Dr & 10th

[@StuartJebbitt]

The musicianship is off the scale, every part is super cool, especially the bass.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Had the good fortune to see Little Feat with Lowell George on their tour to promote this live album, "Waiting For Columbus", unfortunately no Tower Of Power Horn Section at my show, but it was still one of the greatest of the 500 or so concerts I have attended. Without a doubt. I enjoyed it so much i have seen Feat another ten times since, all without the late , great Lowell. RIP Lowell, Paul Barrere and Richie Heyward. Other members of Little Feat, Bill Payne, Kenny Gradney and Sam Clayton. Great band, great music and great times.

[@brendamilloy2557]

I saw that tour too, it was my first time seeing them and I was instantly hooked. So glad I got to see Lowell before he died.

[@minniesfishies3024]

Feat at the absolute peak of their power, incredible.

[@minkhollow]

The correct way to hit "Dixie Chicken" is off Waiting for Columbus, paired with "Tripe Face Boogie" - it'll be 15 minutes well spent. "Fat Man in the Bathtub" is my forever favorite, though, followed pretty closely by "Rock and Roll Doctor." For a really good studio cut, try "Easy to Slip."

[@glennburch1081]

Always been fond of thier Time Loves a Hero record. Never thought the band was the same after Lowell George passed. All the greats seem to pass way too early.

[@mrnobody9104]

Most definitely worth the trouble for you to dig deep on these guys!

[@Todd-w7i]

And George played in "The Mothers of Invention" with Zappa. I heard one story that Zappa let him go because of his drug use. The other story was that Zappa read the lyrics to "Willin" Maybe a bit of both stories.

[@davidhunter801]

Don't know if Spanish Moon actually existed, but Little Feat had some notoriously wild times in Houston, so I always imagine it there. There, or New Orleans.

[@brendamilloy2557]

Well how did I miss you reacting to one of my top favorite bands doing one of my top favorite tunes? Little Feat are such a groove! Fantastic energy live and perfection in the studio. Can't go wrong diving into this band's library! 👣

[@willredding3859]

If you have ever been to Memphis, this song epitomizes it. Great jam, BTW Atlanta is another great jam of theirs

[@HyzersGR]

One hell of a low down dirty funky jam. RIP Lowell George 🙏

[@nicholasletts281]

Nobody funks harder than the Feat

[@SnookyFlowers1]

RIP Lowell!! ❤

[@samuelgates5935]

That BASS...IS CRAZY🤠😎🤠🎼🎶🎼

[@alfrediceman9506]

Sam Clayton was the guy playing the Conga... his sister was the female voice on The Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter"

[@robertoser297]

Merry Clayton gave a free concert that I saw in southern Illinois and my friend walked up to the stage and requested they play Gimme Shelter and they did! It was great!

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

The conga is as important to this song as is the bass line or the horns... You can't leave anything out of this simple yet extremely complex number.

[@davidketchum8269]

Try their song Dixie Chicken!

[@Macilmoyle]

But not the awful Midnight Special version.

[@ronaldstokes4841]

'Don't care who, you can wake up in ruin; You can lose it all down at the Spanish Moo-in'. Gotta love that line!

[@debbiechang5781]

I saw these guys live when they were the opening act for Linda Ronstadt (I think). They had everyone on their feet by the end of the set. Great band! Thanks Bushy Prout! Nice take Harri🌺✌️

[@CharlesGrenades]

This was my father's all time favorite band. I grew up listening to all of their stuff I remember being at his house as a kid and him asking me what I wanted to listen to and it was either the MTV album (Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms) or the tomato soup album (Waiting for Columbus - Little Feat) I just couldn't get enough..he's been gone almost 3 years now and I couldn't be more thankful for him giving me the love of music that I have.

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Harri, this is widely regarded as one of the five best live rock albums--the production and performance of these songs is IMO better than their studio originals. Lowell George was an unappreciated master, blending funk, southern rock, and jazz into something unique and wonderful. If you want to back in more funk, brilliance, and tawdry tales, I heartily recommend Dixie Chicken, and Fat Man In The Bathtub. I appreciate you. 🙏

[@pattiaustin1808]

Saw Little Feat at the Fox Theater in Atlanta in about 1978. They were fantastic. Any album is worth the listen - they’re all good.

[@anidiquaojala1804]

Down On The Farm is great too, it's a fun 1. id love to see your reaction to it ❣️

[@larksigsby3697]

Little Feat are Awesome live in concert. We saw them at the Ryman this year.

[@jamescox8402]

Ask Led Zepplin who they were listening to at this time. Definitely one of the greatest live albums of all time.

[@maninthemiddle55]

Agreed hombre, that bass line at the end is NASTY

[@kittehboiDJ]

Google Tower of Power Horns. They worked with EVERYBODY! I think this is about Little Feat's best tune.

[@davebzen795]

A terrific selection and reaction. Thank you Bushy and Harri! I can never get enough Little Feat.

[@taxiscratcher5935]

Love their song New Dehli Freight Train.

[@stephenmoore6493]

Sat in the front row of their show at the London Rainbow in '75. They're been my favourite band ever since.

[@Johntee540]

I was at this show when they recorded Waiting for Columbus at Lisner Hall GWU. The Tower of Power Horns definitely brought the FUNK!❤️

[@kadielouhoo]

So good to see your reaction to the Band that inspired me to attend music school and become a singer -- on the Warner Brothers label, they introduced me to the most talented musicians, and bands! Dixie Chicken was the song everybody knew - take a listen - lyrics always SLAY! Lowell George was one of the best slide guitarists ever, his influence still lives in Bonnie Raitt, who I still see performing today. All the women singers who wove the fabric of my youth - Emmylou Harris, Linda Rondstadt, Bonnie Bramlett -- they all gave me a career! Kenny Gradney, bass player extrodinaire and Richie Hayward - my favorite drummer bar none were the tightest rhythym section in a band EVER!!!!!!!! There's so much more! Keep it up HarriBest! I'm a fan forever now!

[@danmayberry1185]

A lovely comment to Harri. You have some lofty stable-mates at Warners, and had iconic singers to grow up on - nice to know the synergy continues. Susan Tedeschi geeked out on Mahalia Jackson, as I coveted Bonnie's slide before I knew she sang - guess that guitar player sure could play.

[@Bozoette]

A little late to the party, but I had to say that I was at this concert in 1978 - still the best concert I've ever been to!

[@michaeltew4492]

this has been one of my favorite songs ever. The album Waiting for Columbus is ALL like this....they were SUCH a great band back there. I THINK that's the Tower of Power horns....but don't quote me on that.

[@redzone77p]

Most of the band members have passed on, LOWELL GEORGE, RICH HAYWARD, PAUL BARRERE, RIP....STILL ALIVE BASS KEN GRADNEY, BILL PAYNE KEYS, SAM CLAYTON PERCUSSION. ALL KILLERS.

[@alfrediceman9506]

They were always good live... saw them several times in the 70s

[@DrTramp-uu1hh]

This song always reminds me of partying at the Boys Town in Ojinaga Mexico back in the early 70s. Wild times. LOL

[@eirikasbjrnberg8753]

I just found Columbus in among a couple of thousand cds and yes it stands the test of time just like the great seventies album from Who, UFO, Thin Lizzy and others . But Little Feat song number one is Willin

[@MultiStratoman]

The guys in Little Feat are some of the best musicians in the world. Listen to Dixie Chicken from the album 'Waiting for Columbus'.

[@garyschill7923]

Dude, it's pronounced "little feet", and thank you for reacting to this!!

[@asproctor198]

Feat are in my all-time top ten....Funk before funk was a commercial thang.

[@dardenbunn1415]

One of my all time favorites. The 70 year old hippie from Georgia and exiled in Virginia is on cloud nine.

[@loisrogers2511]

Someone listening to Little Feat! Nice!

[@katelist8367]

I love this song and I love Little Feat!

[@randyconger8620]

There are a few versions of this, you my friend chose the best one! Great job as always, thanks!

[@donlawson3330]

Yes Yes Yes!

[@ranbirgill4718]

Best band ever!!!

[@brookslarry730]

You're the BestHarri! Another great reaction!

[@rickward460]

Harri I'm taken aback 😳 You never heard this 😵‍💫I still love ya😎🇺🇸

[@justkaron]

Don't know how he can stand up let along sing...but little 'feet' are the bomb. You got em right Harri. Dang they made some good music.

[@dennisrocker]

the feeling is mutual my brother. you make great choices,, if one asks me, lol

[@scottlong7352]

Perhaps someone has suggested it, but Willin’. By Little Feat. Then, Linda Ronstats version of Willin’. Both are awesome

[@andylawson87]

The Spanish Moon must be on the same street as The House Of The Rising Sun.

[@pennhill5459]

I like it too !

[@scott78731]

Its in Terlingua Texas called the High Sierra.

[@timnaughton6495]

Kenny Gradneys bass is amazing on this cut

[@GregS4Jesus]

Don't stop dude, that base was just revving up!

[@pete3883]

When I was young, went many times.

[@scott78731]

AFrican beat called Merengue. Walking in chains, only stepping on the 2 & 4. Otherwise, wiggle around all you want. Great recording, the brother is grooving. Check out the Viince Gill version.

[@kevinhennessey3189]

So for any further Little Feet sonmgs get them from the live "Waiting for Columbus" recording I must have worn 3 copies before the cd came out.

[@frankmorris4790]

Rock and Roll for adults, thinkin' man music. "Sophistofunk" "I miss LITTLE FEAT more than I miss being eight years old." ~Bonnie Raitt~

[@vickihirsch8340]

Waiting for Columbus is one of the best live albums you'll ever enjoy! I highly recommend you check it out.

[@sonia4641]

Yes, it needs to carry on .. and on .... Great stuff indeed...! Came across this band and this track only a couple of months ago ... rather thought it was you who led me to it, but obviously not ... !

[@rhetoricalquestion6009]

_"You can lose it all down at the Spanish Moon"_ -- you have been warned! And along those lines, how about *"Whiskey, Women and Loaded Dice"* by Joe Liggins and His Honeydrippers. Or Sticks McGhee, which I think is the original version.

[@theatti2d]

You should check out Gov't Mule's cover of this song.

[@pete3883]

talking to each other.

[@chrisSwinehart-ie5xq]

Funny ed jurdi was in this band As one of the guitar players

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Mama warned us.

[@matthooks5840]

Harri check out Time Loves a Hero.

[@dragonfly1153]

Yippppeeee!

[@AlisaDenver]

Try Mercenary Territory by Little Feat

[@allenhammond7853]

There was this Motown Producer/Engineer. Was it Barry Gordy? He created "The Full Sound"!!! I cant remember his name, I'm sorry. But the music was totally full. No way to add another instrument. Also, no time. It comes from the group as a whole. Including all the producers and engineers. "Little Feat", Had It! The percussion, Bass, Guitars, the Hammond B3 Organ with the Lesley (sp), Vocals, and Horns. So powerful!!!!! Just listen. Just listen!

[@angelariebli4843]

Check out Willin -- it's the best!!

[@pennhill5459]

check out feel the groove

[@Bruhaha9]

Album version might have the most impact…😊

[@Fred_Jones563]

Now you have to react to Fat Man In The Bathtub by Little Feat,

[@wmlemerise2331]

Why are they not in the RRHofF?

[@steveallen489]

Correction to the previous poster regarding live albums...Waiting for Columbus IS THE BEST LIVE ALBUM EVER!

[@allenhammond7853]

Sorry...Base. I fish!

[@angelariebli4843]

This one always reminds me of an old boss I had -- whiskey and bad cocaine.

[@astroteech]

Little "Feet" not "Fit"! History will show that they were one of the greatest progressive rock/blues/jazz groups that influenced the sounds of so many artists and bands performing at their time and those who followed. Lowell George was the Mozart of that genre.

[@edhorton2766]

They pronounce it as Feet.

[@bushyprout]

Last call for alcohol!!

[@jamestaylor2920]

You don't have to go home, but ya can't stay here...

[@pete3883]

Stoned Jam .

[@lindathompson7707]

Pronounced Feet
