One of the greatest bands in the history of Rock'n'roll

[@brandonfleming4183]

It’s awesome to see more 70s era video of Little Feat.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Snappy playing on the keys and Lowell’s singing is fantastic, makes me shake~boogie along with them. Whole band is ON!!! 🎉 ❤

[@kenlang64]

I am loving that Midnight Special is remastering all of these obscurities that never appeared on the past DVDs. More please!

[@timguzz8844]

Criminally underrated band & Lowell George, what can I say? George, Haywood, Barrere R.I.P. You're still missed

[@jimmeltonbradley1497]

Just wonderful. The Feats have never failed me!

[@louiebee6745]

Richie Hayward total badass on drums! RIP.

[@normgillespie4201]

Heard this band in bushcamp in North Manitoba. Pretty sure I had all their albums once

[@sheercerebralpower]

Love this band soooo much!

[@StressJudoCoaching]

The more you listen to them, the better they sound. And they sound pretty right off the bat!

[@southernrockcarlos188]

Real talent!!! Beautiful song, amazing performance

[@curtisphilumalee1447]

As a kid growing up I never listened to Little Feat. When I was a junior in HS I listened to Rollin Virginia album and was blown away. It was one of my buddies older brothers album and we went through his collection and this was one of the albums we grabbed to listen to. The one song that stood out on that album was Don’t Bogart that Joint. Thanks for the upload TMS.

[@chadjackson5470]

Wow!!!! So fantastic!! I need to get out my "Waiting For Columbus" album right now! 😎

[@GreenManalishiUSA]

Waiting for Columbus ..one of the best live albums by any band, in any time. It's the only album that I've owned in LP, cassette, CD, and now digital download. If I had ever owned an 8-track or reel-to-reel, I would have bought Waiting for Columbus in those formats as well! 🍅

[@paulstoyek381]

Best ever!!

[@backrowbrighton]

One of the truly great American bands who never got the record sales to match the critical plaudits. Bill, Kenny and Sam are still keeping the music flame burning for the band.

[@timburns5967]

Pure joy and feel good music.

[@colinborn1740]

Bonnie Raitt had a quote about it, something like “I miss Little Feat like I miss being 9 years old.” Spot on, Bonnie! Also, I heard the opening chord to Willin at the very end. It’s coming :-)

[@philiphalpenny9761]

She also called Lowell :" the Thelonious Monk of Rock 'n' Roll". I get that, as his genius was so unorthodox...

[@mikeholmes5824]

I'll never forget the first time I heard Little Feat on KMET radio out of L.A. coming home from work in my little VW. Damn, what a band.

[@CasualObserver-jx4zh]

The Mighty Met. ❤

[@jodoyle]

Why, why, why are they not in the Rock Roll Hall of Fame??? There is no justice...

[@stephensuddick1896]

Simple. They are too good to be a member of that sham organization.

[@stringstroker22]

AMEN!

[@sturoe540]

It's almost unbelievable but I don't even think they cleared the top 40 in the 70s

[@blackfinjrblackfinjr3555]

Absolutely stupid. Little Feat doesn’t need them to be GREAT.

[@thefilmandmusic]

Too right

[@matthewsatre6550]

That blew my mind 🤯

[@daviddavis2648]

Bill Payne just always astounds me.

[@johnapplegate1289]

I saw Little Feat open for Captain Beefheart. Don’t remember the year. What a night!

[@Dr_Paul_Proteus]

Ladies and gentlemen... Mister Bill Payne!

[@TheMisterGriswold]

Finally appears at 1:41 🎹

[@michaelwosslert9524]

EXELLENT!(Saw Feat live in -75 and they were...WOW👋😀)

[@krisscanlon4051]

Richie killing it...what an interesting band...being extravagant in an obvious genre...Lowell mixed Zappa, Allmans, and roots music into his own thing...nice lilt to New Orleans and boogie. Nothing like them...

[@ronm6585]

Thank you.

[@SteveKraus]

A great 70's boogie

[@longpauses]

Paul Barrere was the most middle-aged-looking 25 year old who ever lived.

[@colinborn1740]

LOL, so true, but the man had chops and certainly could keep of Lowell & co.

[@wish21100]

Brilliant … like finding buried treasure

[@LimJahey996]

Lowell is an absolute animal

[@TD-np6ze]

He was in person rather sweet and shy. On a radio interview, he said he was studying Buddhism ...but the interviewer just wanted to know why they hadn't sold many records A few weeks later Waiting for Columbus live album selling great ...and Lowell wasn't alive anymore

[@CasualObserver-jx4zh]

This a wonderful clip and kudos to The Midnight Special and KZbin, but if you want Little Feat at their full peak power put on the vinyl version of Waiting For Columbus. One of the best live albums ever recorded and it captures the Absolute incendiary nature that was Little Feat live. 🔥🔥❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@johncavender5873]

Best moment. Bill Payne's piano break veers totally off course into Charles Ives abstract territory. He throws a glare at Lowell in defiance. The best bands used tensión like this to raise the performance level

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

They are authentic. You are supposed to love them accidentally.

[@StephanieJeanne]

Good boogie! Quite a unique band, for sure. I wish I'd been familiar with them when I saw them in the late '80s. Who knows if the lineup was the same, but I didn’t appreciate them like I do after seeing this show. 😎💜

[@delmedeiros3570]

Hi. Lowell George, the lead singer and slide guitarist, when he passed away in 1979 was no longer in the band, but I believe that in 1980 all the other members were. There are some videos of them, I particularly like a show at the Rainbow Theater in London, which is available here on You Tube. There is also one in Germany, at the Rock Palast. The image of this one is better but the energy of the show in England I think is cooler.

[@StephanieJeanne]

@delmedeiros3570 Hi Del. Thanks, I appreciate the information. I saw them in CA, can't remember the venue name which has likely changed since then, but they opened for War, and unfortunately, I was disappointed in War, too, that night. ✌️

[@bradsense7431]

In the late eighties Craig Fuller had joined the band. He was with them for about ten years I believe. So you likely saw him in the band. He was formerly with Pure Prairie League (wrote and sang their song Amie) and was a nice addition on vocals and guitar.

[@delmedeiros3570]

@@StephanieJeanne Well, you can imagine that I've never seen them live, and it's true haha. Music is a global phenomenon, everyone from all over the world has access to it in some way. I'm from Brazil and I remember seeing an article in a German magazine called Pop, with several bands that were in a project. Tower of Power, Baker Gurvitz Army, Jess Roden Band, Little Feat... and photos of these bands. Soon after I found their double live album, Waiting For Columbus. It's a shame this day wasn't so good for you ✌️

[@delmedeiros3570]

@@bradsense7431 Yes. All your other training is cool. There's one from the 90s with a singer... there's a video concert in Germany with this lineup that's really cool. They're still there today... I'm a huge Bill Payne fan. What a badass keyboard player.

[@paulstoyek381]

The most famous Craftsman spark plug socket ever..😂😂

[@fabjen1961]

Whatever kind of hat that is, he is wearing it like he stole it. The man had swagger.

[@KevinCrowley-l5b]

Lowell George along with Duane Allman and Brian Jones kings of the slide guitar.

[@sgg6927]

I was just thinking about that. I'd throw Derek Trucks in that category as well.

[@rosskstar]

@@sgg6927 and Howe

[@delmedeiros3570]

And Rory Gallagher, Matt Andes, Sonny Landreth, and ... But I confess. Lowell is my fav. RIP.

[@BigSky1]

Mick Taylor

[@KittyGrizGriz]

I’d like to add Bonnie Raitt and Joe Walsh to that list.

[@masatoshishoji8271]

Little Feat should be inducted into RRHF immediately.

[@hm9990]

great capture. im 73, so who, kinks etc. But little feat what a great combo. Live in Manc uk, in about 75 and clean.. ...p.barrere plus er ?? !! everyday all timers. dixie c, feats don't. time...

[@Ross-ei3iy]

The tightest band I ever saw.

[@kevinriley1958]

One of the top greatest rock guitarist vocalists ever…..a forgotten gem…like Rory Gallagher

[@rareform6747]

Live they have the Biggest clean dirty Sounds .

[@misterjim4458]

*RRHOF Now!*

[@xeropunt5749]

LF were pretty funky, “Conquistadores ‘74” with Chico Hamilton is a fav & “Day at the Dog Races”…otherwise I’m not too familiar with them.

[@curtismoff]

Only he could pull off wearing a hat like that

[@khkartc]

I wonder if Temu sells that hat…

[@ahwien]

that live album, so what's it's augmented. they played my school in 1979 I think, too bad he's left so soon.

[@GerhardKarst]

Leckomio 😂

[@leftybass5860]

What other band would give you a piano and conga duet ?

[@glenosborne9807]

NO Lipsync

[@RichardBond-dn2fi]

Who DO you like? Im curious!

[@lockedonlaw]

Drugs are bad, kids. Lowell died at the Twin Bridges Mariott in Arlington, Virginia, literally a few blocks from where I went to grade school in 1979.

[@StephanieJeanne]

Is he the singer? Or which one is he?

[@lockedonlaw]

@@StephanieJeanne Yes, he's the singer. Bonnie Raitt used to perform with Little Feat, before she became a solo artist.

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@lockedonlaw Thank you. Now that you mention it, I do remember hearing that about Bonnie. ✌️

[@recordguy4321]

@@lockedonlaw saw Bonnie open for Little Feat in Chicago around 75

[@KittyGrizGriz]

@@recordguy4321You Did? How lucky for you. I love Bonnie too and have never seen her live. She’s fantastic!

[@trishrozzell2380]

Because he bowed to no one...he couldn't be bought... that's why. Too bad they didn't have Led Zeppelins manager he didn't put up with shit either.

[@bernieburns3027]

The Hall of Fame is corrupt...

Do Yanks eat tripe?

[@randallmckinney-739]

they suck I'm not kidding boring

Your not taking the right drugs if you think this sucks...night night 😂 Randall even your name is boring.
