Little Feat - "Spanish Moon" Reaction

[@skinyviny1]

When the Tower of Power horn section offered their services for this live album the members of Little Feat jump at that chance and listen to the results. Absolutely phenomenal album

[@rockinremnants510]

Little Feat and TOP were labelmates on Warner Brothers Records!

[@rk41gator]

I did not know the fabulous TOP was on this album (obviously don't own it.....yet).

[@mikeherriman4600]

Yeah bro tower of power horns fit perfect into the groove of this whole album

[@scurvybro8850]

Little Feat are one of the most underrated, underappreciated bands of the classic rock era. I encourage you to dig in, my brother. There are lots of deep, soulful, funky grooves to discover.

[@revaflowers3115]

Little Feat is one of those 'hidden in plain sight' gems.

[@ShawnMiller009]

Yes!! This is one of the best live albums EVER imo..

[@mdhj67]

One of the few bands that record better live than in the studio.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Either on your own time, or better yet here on your channel, just do the whole album. It is one of the best live albums by anyone, anywhere,anytime. Most music fans and critics will agree. Saw Little Feat live on the tour after this album was released, no Tower Of Power Horns present, but still one of the best musical experiences of my life.

[@musicairplanes4884]

Right up there with J. Geils Band live album Full House.

[@trismaccarran9950]

There's one to do in its' entirety; sent a request a couple weeks ago for one from Full House: Hard Drivin' Man 😁

[@farmersteve661]

Hey Bob ... I saw this tour and bought that t shirt . Unbelievable show. 🎸🎧

[@LanceRED58]

Little Feat should have been absolutely massive , rest in peace Lowell George , still much missed !

[@mvhoyt61able]

The best live album ever produced.

[@thomasvieth6063]

This throws me back at least forty years. It may surprise you that Lowel George, leading figure of Little Feat, learned his craft from being in Frank Zappa's crowd. And as a personal not, on the same record (2 lp's, if I recall correctly) there is a song called "Don't Bogard That Joint, My Friend". I'm sure you'll like that. The whole record is great, btw

[@ethelynchristopher6995]

Don't Bogart That Joint is one of the songs on Waiting for Columbus.

[@thomasvieth6063]

@@ethelynchristopher6995 Yes, and this is the very record

[@skinyviny1]

You are a little off I'm your events of little feat. Lowell was a player in Zappa's band and in fact which was considered the original Mothers of Invention. Lowell wrote the song Will in in which at that time was more up tempo then what was recorded and Zappa told Lowell that he may want to start his own thing and with the blessing of Frank decided to do that. Zappa also financed Lowell and the first Little Feat album

[@edmondfitz7085]

@@skinyviny1This is the way.

[@CharlesGrenades]

This was my father's all time favorite band. I remember being a child and at his house he would always ask what I wanted to listen to and I would always either say MTV (Dire Straits) or The Tomato Soup album referring to the cover of this album. Such a great band. Have fun in your journey of discovering some awesome gems

[@debbieplato5107]

I love Little Feat! Fat Man in the Bathtub, Two Trains, Dixie Chicken!!✌🇨🇦

[@leemccurtayne9489]

Lil Feat, just part of the rich tapestry of my misspent youth.

I'm a little late to the party, but I was at this concert back in the 70s in DC. Best concert I have ever been to, and the album is my favorite of all time.

[@brookslarry730]

They're still on the proud highway playing this incredible music. I'm catching them for the 25th time again in April. Can't wait. Thanks for this reaction!

[@GregS4Jesus]

Wore this 8 track out back in the day, fantastic! That smooth funky rhythm.

[@beckyscott4026]

One of the BEST bands of all time - thanks for keeping it alive!!!! Little Feat!!!!

[@angustdog3656]

Lowell George,lead singer and slide guitar.Great band,Lowell played for Frank Zappa for a short time.Died young "alcohol,ect."

[@1bigrowdy]

The Tower of Power horns are well used in this album.

[@michaelsmyth500]

The break down ending of this song gives me chills every time I hear it!

[@brianoneil9662]

One of the original jam bands and they could groooove.

[@Greg-bz2bf]

I think I first heard this album in 1980 as a twenty-year-old with a gathering of friends. Still fresh (both the album and I) after all these years. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@lynda3860]

lucky enough to see them in 1977 in London, they were brilliant such a groovy band. One of the best live concerts I attended and I was fortunate to see lots of great bands, due to where I lived, they all did London gigs if they came to europe

[@HidingFromFate]

I don't remember the exact quote but someone once asked Jimmy Page during Led Zeppelins heyday who he enjoys listening to or maybe it was who his favorite band was. Some question like that. His response was, Little Feat.

[@MarkKlass]

It was in a Rolling Stone article.

[@HidingFromFate]

@@MarkKlass thanks

[@rk41gator]

SO, so, so GOOD. Funky band of great musicians with some soul. Love this band.

[@michaelkeefe8494]

Little Feat killing it.

[@falcon215]

Yes! Great to see your first exposure to the greatest party band of the 70's and this is a killer song to start it off. That horn section just takes it to another level.

[@neonpark1874]

That's the Tower of Power horn section. ...and yes they do take it to another level.

[@nickouryathotmail]

Are you THE "Neon Park"?

As this closes up, in the video, each band member leaves the stage one at a time till the drums are left... cool exit.

Powerful horn section...TOWER OF POWER HORNS!

[@robc.8269]

I love this album. Every song is great, but especially "Dixie Chicken". And this song & "Willin'". Linda Ronstadt even does a great cover of "Willin'" & tells a story in concert about sleeping with the lead singer Lowell George, until his wife knocked on her door & told her "No more".

[@donnabruhn6907]

I read Linda had a thing for Lowell but died. Bonnie Raitt was hanging around

[@robtintelnot9107]

That bass line is smooth.

You gots to understand that this is what I was listening to almost 50 years ago. Feats never failed me back then or to this day.

It's that kind of album that makes you feel home whereever you are.

[@skinyviny1]

The T O P horns are just badass

[@MarkKlass]

One of the best live albums ever! The recording is really unbelievable! Listen to the whole album! Little Feat has been a favorite since about 1969, when I saw them live in Atlanta at a little place called 12th Gate Coffee House - in a living room!

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Summertime BBQ music at it's finest; actually had this album playing last night during dinner out in the back yard. Glad you found Little Feat!!!

[@astroteech]

I am blessed to have seen Little Feat live just a year before Lowell George died. It was the "Time Loves a Hero" era. You must check out this album as well, Little Feat at the height of its musical genius from all its members. "Day at the Dog Races" is just one suggestion. Hang onto your brain with this one.

[@vruth23]

Little feat has such a signature sound. Good rythm and blues

[@markjohnson4217]

Little Feat!! One of the greatest bands of the 70s!! This is THE greatest live rock album of all time. Give it up for the late Lowell George!! Check out : Time Loves a Hero Fat man in the Bathtub All that You Dream Dixie Chicken Red Streamliner

[@Shawnjuan54]

Lowell George!!

[@ethelynchristopher6995]

This album is FIRE! Essentially it's all live cuts that have been cleaned up a bit during the production of the album. IMO the versions on this album "Waiting for Columbus" are better than the original cuts on their studio albums and it was the soundtrack of my college years. You could not walk across campus without hearing one song or another playing out of a dorm window. Lowell George (singer, slide guitar) died before I got a chance to see them in concert but I did see the rest of the band at the Warner Theater in DC with someone else singing lead and they were still fabulous.

[@mrnobody9104]

definitely the whole album, one of the greatest albums of all time!

[@vickihirsch8340]

A straight up NOLA sound with members of the Funky Meters in the group! Check out " willin" and " rad gumbo".

[@skinyviny1]

I actually saw Lowell's last 2 shows before he passed and it is not with Little Feat. He set out to do a solo tour with a bunch of other musicians. The last 2 shows were at Alexanders in New Jersey and The 9:30 club in Washington DC. They found him dead the next morning in DC. Drugs and alcohol did him in like it did so many others

[@lylechipperson3407]

That whole album is stellar. Check out the track Time Loves a Hero

[@robc.8269]

Lowell George had such a great voice & was a great slide guitarists. Too bad he died so early in the late 70's. I saw Bob Weir from the Dead sing "Dixie Chicken" in Telluride. The band has kept playing till recently, but was never the same without Lowell.

[@bamacopeland4372]

There's a few artists I listen to that if I recommend I will always recommend the live version because that's how they were intended to be heard. Just a short list Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, little feat, any band that's considered a jam band like the Dead.

[@rickyconner6782]

They sound better live to me.

[@jimz6850]

I have to agree; Studio albums were good but their live sets are just amazing.

[@Bear78420]

No argument but having tower of powers horns sitting in made this a particularly amazing live show from any band!!

[@dudleyhaines9826]

Very few bands can pull that off.

[@davewardell5616]

They were much better live. Especially with a horn section.

[@Murp268]

I agree, this is the only version of Spanish Moon that I will listen to. Absolutely killed it. The bass line and overall groove, unbelievable.

[@maine420grow]

You know how much I love Zappa Teez. If you drive deep enough into the world of Zappa you'll hear stories about how he disliked drugs and even fired band members for drug related indiscretions. Lowell George is IMO the prime example. He brought WILLIN to Frank and between that and his proclivity for narcotics got the boot. Took fellow Mothers Roy Estrada Billy Payne and Richie Hayward and formed Little Feat. And this is considered by most as not only their greatest album but one of the greatest albums in musical history. Like others have said, do yourself a favor and listen to the whole thing. Or maybe I should request some more from this show. Hmmmm.
