One forgets, over time, how Frightfully talented each person was in this band. Bill Payne is, arguably, one of The top keyboard players in rock, Richie Hayward while not only an Incredible drummer provided amazing high harmonies. The addition of Ken Gradney and Sam Clayton gave that FUNK. I Love Paul Barerre and especially Lowell. Thank you to whoever posted this GEM. I agree with Steve Conway: About time someone had a camera crew to capture this era. RIP Lowell and Richie.
Yes indeed what a wonderful group of players. I could not agree more about Bill Payne and Richie Hayward who was my favorite rock drummer who not only had great time but just had a feel that can't be described with words. Of course Lowell deserves every accolade that he has received. Every player was a perfect fit.I hope young players today take the time to listen and understand what Little Feat was about. I was so lucky to have seen then back during the Waiting for Columbus tour and then many times since then after Lowell passed away.Thank god for youtube
My only dispute your comment, is that I'd say Melvin Seals from the Jerry Garcia Band is a better Key player, However only by a slim margin haha. This song is a classic in the best possible way.
I'm a huge TOP fan and discovered Feat through their discography. And I'm glad I did. Their opening lick in this song is absolute napalm! But besides the point, what a deep song, sick groove, and Lowell just laying down gold! What badasses he and Richie Hayward were.
ONE OF THE BEST BANDS I EVER SEEN AT THE FOX THEATER IN ATLANTA. THEY WERE ONE OF THE TIGHTEST NICK GROUPS I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. SAW A LOT OF BANDS IN MY DAY AND I'M 73 NOW.
Lowell George has so much style and finesse. Such a talent. He truly had it all, talent, slide guitar wizardry, style, brains and humour. Plus he was definitely handsome.
Maybe 45 years ago when you first heard these guys did you ever think in today's world how far and above talented and great were they really were ? This music is great.
I was at this show; one of the greatest nights of my life. Still sends a shiver down my spine. Lowell was in fact absent for much of the night... But as an earlier poster nailed it "Ritchie Hayward' - this video confirms my view that he was the greatest powerhouse rock drummer of all time.
I wish there was anybody in the Music Industrial that could write lyrics as Great. Having good Music is one thing but the Dunmbass Lyrics ruin it for me :-)
I bought the double record as soon as I heard it on FM radio. probably cost me 10 bucks. outrageous price outrageous music. hooked ever since. RiP the PB,, LG . what a swampy groove. Let it Roll.
As blistering as Lowell's playing and vocals are, just listen to Richie's drums. They, along with Lowell, will never be heard again. RIP: Richie and Lowell. Now, they only play for God.
I just can't wrap around seeing Lowell George backed by Tower of Power. WE are not worthy! LOL . If this doesn't make you grunt and grit your teeth, I feel sorry for you. Thanks for the upload.
Saw them in Melbourne, Australia, I think in '75. But, fuck, who cares what year, they were the best ever, even better than the Stones around the same time. And the Stones were fucking awesome!!
my man and i love 'em still. and a good friend named his son lowell. on my man's arm at all times is a wristband that says feets dont fail me now. i'd vote for jack.
Went to college (USC) with Kenny Gradney's brother...we hung out one night at his place in West LA and they jammed in the garage...one of my best memories of college daze....
Sound check at The Handlebar , Greenville SC ,about 2pm, SOLD OUT SHOW 2001 . WE TALKED TO THIS BAND AT OUR TABLES . WE WERE 1ST THERE . INCREDIBLE SHOW !!! WE didn't really care for the Female Vocalist they had then and again at the same location in 2003 ,when they returned . Still a great show and sound . R.I.P. LOWELL,RITCHIE, PAUL . 2023 (today)
what a great treat...many thanks for posting nutbrook and of course thank you to the the Little Feat... May the Peace that Passes All Understanding be with us All
What an ending. Give the song to the rhythm section and let 'em rock out. God, I love it. Just wished Richie Hayward had gone on playing for a couple more minutes. Can't have it all!
got to hang out backstage with them whenever my dad took me to a show wish i appreciated it more back then. (not around the time of this vid around 2000 or so)
Still gives me chills listening to these guys. All great musicians sometimes it is easy to overlook just how great a bassplayer Kenny Gradney is. . . There is a way that he just sticks the notes, leans over them and delivers the whole phrase that is just unbelievable. . Really get a sense of it at the end when it is just the three of them playing. . . . Not an ounce of fat on what he plays every note every phrase just right in the pocket.
I became a bass player in 1979 for two reasons - to play "Something" and to play "Spanish Moon". This is pretty much identical to the Waiting for Columbus version (not a bad thing at all). I remember the general consensus for that album when it came out - that it represented a band in decline, that LF had lost its edge. Bahahaha!
I can't come up with a better live band ever, than Little Feet with Lowell and Richie, and T o P horns! (Alas, I never heard them, only here and on record.).
went to see my brothers tower of power after this tour ,they had there tour coats on ,they were very cool ,than feat came to chicago,when i called bruce contie,tops guitar player,and went to little feats 'show .i was led into the room where 4 guys were .thinkin they were stage hands ,started to shoot the shit,after about 45 min ,this guy is talkinn about sound,i t6hrough in my 2 cents,he said who are you anyway ,im a friend of tower ,bla bla ,i9m waiting for the band ,WE ARE THE BAND ,im lowell george ,thats paul barra,thats kenny gradnie,,oh.well lets get started here than ,wher we proceded to party for the next 2 hrs ,well they got on stage and forgot what song they were playin for the 1st 3 songs ,bill payne brought it all back together ,one of the best shows ever ,the band is such great rock lo ve ya guys miss t6hose fine daze

GO WITH GOD AND THY WILL BE DONE
Yes, yes, yes.
Vale Paul Baraerre. So good.
I’m 70, remember listening to Little Feat in the 1970’s.
Love this song, nothing better to hear late on a party night
I am the same age. I had their album. I saw them live and they were amazing. The Tower Power of Horns was with them.
Hard to beat Little Feat. Such a great band and Lowell George was one of the best. RIP.
Way ahead of his time
Wow! Man so glad that I Rocked in the 70's with their music
I'm a huge TOP fan and discovered Feat through their discography. And I'm glad I did. Their opening lick in this song is absolute napalm! But besides the point, what a deep song, sick groove, and Lowell just laying down gold! What badasses he and Richie Hayward were.
Dude, you said it!
The best live band ever, going from rock to blues, then Dixieland, and country...without missing a beat.
This never gets old even at 75.
ONE OF THE BEST BANDS I EVER SEEN AT THE FOX THEATER IN ATLANTA. THEY WERE ONE OF THE TIGHTEST NICK GROUPS I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. SAW A LOT OF BANDS IN MY DAY AND I'M 73 NOW.
Was that in 1975? I had a cassette of that show that was in my bag when it was stolen. It was total rockin’!
Love this, The bass line is GREAT, still my favorite live album ever Quality Disk
Kenny Gradney was a phenomenal bass player. Really a huge part of making their music so funky and soulful.
One greatest live albums waiting 4 columbus
Lowell George has so much style and finesse. Such a talent. He truly had it all, talent, slide guitar wizardry, style, brains and humour. Plus he was definitely handsome.
Maybe 45 years ago when you first heard these guys did you ever think in today's world how far and above talented and great were they really were ? This music is great.
yeah but still no one can sing this better than Lowell
I was at this show; one of the greatest nights of my life. Still sends a shiver down my spine. Lowell was in fact absent for much of the night... But as an earlier poster nailed it "Ritchie Hayward' - this video confirms my view that he was the greatest powerhouse rock drummer of all time.
I was there!!! 16 yrs old...Loved them then, love them more now. FANTASTIC..
Lucky you!
So DAMN GOOD!! Little Feat, especially Waiting for... will be at the core of my musical being.
Sometimes I think I was born too late. This is such a hot song! The groove is so deep. And the TOP horns add so much.
Man I miss this band. One of the best live bands ever... just filthy.
Bass line by Ken Gradney, the same call/ response figure over two bars, the whole song...and it is perfect. You could hang the World off that groove.
Stunningly talented band. Never gets old.
I love Little Feat! This songs ROCKS!!!
just F-ing Awesome even 35 years later... no wonder our producer has us studying this particular Little Feat live track
I know I am showing my age,but I wish there were more bands and folks around like Lowell these days.
this was one of the greatest American bands ever,hence, of the world. incredible
I wish there was anybody in the Music Industrial that could write lyrics as Great.
Having good Music is one thing but the Dunmbass Lyrics ruin it for me :-)
His son is in LA
There's plently of amazing bands today, you just need to look for them!
@@skyrothman8651 with this similar sounds? Need example
Feat & Tower of Power = PERFECTION !!!
Waiting for Columbus, Tower of power Horn section smokin
I bought the double record as soon as I heard it on FM radio. probably cost me 10 bucks. outrageous price
outrageous music. hooked ever since. RiP the PB,, LG .
what a swampy groove. Let it Roll.
Childhood friend turned me on to LITTLE FEAT years ago, He passed this year, memories!!
RIP
Just WOW! Do we miss the likes of this man? Such a loss!
As blistering as Lowell's playing and vocals are, just listen to Richie's drums. They, along with Lowell, will never be heard again. RIP: Richie and Lowell. Now, they only play for God.
June 29, 1989. RIP Lowell George. Got into him in '76.
One of the best song’s
Man, that last minute is the way to end a song. I could listen to that beat for hours. In fact I do listen to it for hours.
Kenny and Richie, man
Tightest Band Ever. TOP killed it
I just can't wrap around seeing Lowell George backed by Tower of Power. WE are not worthy! LOL . If this doesn't make you grunt and grit your teeth, I feel sorry for you.
Thanks for the upload.
I caught Hughie lewis back by tower of power in weeds port NY goodtime caught Tom petty there with the Georgia sattelites
Wore my brother's vinyl out before I wore my cd out. Waiting for Columbus and Deep Purple Made in Japan are the pinnacle of live albums.
THANK YOU FOR CAPTURING THIS. thank goodness. so damn appreciative.
Why they arent in the HOF escapes me..one of the best groups of musicians EVER
There were none better then Lowell George and Little Feat
wow--it doesn't get any better then this. those were the days.
This IS the best version of this song. Tower of Power adds so much....
Watching this brings back vivid memories of high school years.
Miss you Lowell all these years later, you remain 1 of a kind...............
No one forgets Lowell, Richie and Paul~~~~RIP~~~~
This is the finest moment in the history of anything.
TOP horns!! What an awesome combo! Lenny Pickett!!!
Saw them in Melbourne, Australia, I think in '75.
But, fuck, who cares what year, they were the best ever, even better than the Stones around the same time.
And the Stones were fucking awesome!!
my man and i love 'em still. and a good friend named his son lowell. on my man's arm at all times is a wristband that says feets dont fail me now. i'd vote for jack.
The most understated band ever, amazing musicians ....
Love. "Waiting for Columbus," was a favorite road album for a long time.
Always reminds me of a Hispanic dive bar in Coolidge Arizona. Burned down long ago.
It never got any better.
Great performance!
Meet you there someday
Just when he looks wasted, he brings it all together and says "I got this." So good.
Great !!!!
Always found George a superb performer, a great loss to modern music. Spanish moon is one of my favourites.
Thanks a lot nutbrook
Went to college (USC) with Kenny Gradney's brother...we hung out one night at his place in West LA and they jammed in the garage...one of my best memories of college daze....
Tower of Power horns & The Feat, marriage made in heaven
This live performance kicks some major ass.
Sound check at The Handlebar , Greenville SC ,about 2pm, SOLD OUT SHOW 2001 . WE TALKED TO THIS BAND AT OUR TABLES . WE WERE 1ST THERE . INCREDIBLE SHOW !!! WE didn't really care for the Female Vocalist they had then and again at the same location in 2003 ,when they returned . Still a great show and sound . R.I.P. LOWELL,RITCHIE, PAUL . 2023 (today)
Bill Payne is so good..He is so often overlooked..He holds the meat of their songs together..
Lowell was one of the best ever. Ever.
My favorite feat song.
I Sae them open For Led Zeppelin back in 75 what a Night,
Lowell George was a Musical Legend!
Definitely one of my favorite little feet song kind of hard to choose though they wrote so many good songs
Kenny Gradney.
God damn.
Pocket.
Nasty.
Matthew Willner "Do not be deceived by nor take lightly this bit of musicianship
that one describes simply as bass"
Tower of power horn section is sick
Wonderfully filmed boot leg copy of the original Little Feat and the horns from ToP just make the whole concert smoothe.....
spectacular what horns could do to this band!
i saw them live, back in the 70s, when red bud was 35 a Z, those were the days my friends,
You must have been in Jersey at those prices.
The greatest bass line in rock.
THE nastiest for sure!
As another reviewer said, "Bucking Frillant!".
You dod gamn right !
Uckin Fay!
All of them walking off the stage jy7ust gives me chills.
I wish I were old enough to see these guys in their heyday
72 and partied with Lowell and D Huttons house. Mainly sung played and talkef
what a great treat...many thanks for posting nutbrook
and of course thank you to the the Little Feat...
May the Peace that Passes All Understanding be with us All
I'm still watching 2022 ✌❤🌻
What an ending. Give the song to the rhythm section and let 'em rock out. God, I love it. Just wished Richie Hayward had gone on playing for a couple more minutes. Can't have it all!
Got to see this tour in Kansas City. Still have the shirt.
Lowell, we miss You!
got to hang out backstage with them whenever my dad took me to a show wish i appreciated it more back then. (not around the time of this vid around 2000 or so)
Red Bud... I hadn't even thought of that in years. Yes it was great! Thanks for reminding me.!

Tower of Power horns! I bought this live 8-track at least 17 times. Gonna go find it on Spotify now.
Power, power HORN...
I became a bass player in 1979 for two reasons - to play "Something" and to play "Spanish Moon". This is pretty much identical to the Waiting for Columbus version (not a bad thing at all). I remember the general consensus for that album when it came out - that it represented a band in decline, that LF had lost its edge. Bahahaha!
THe shit people say that they have to eat years later when the light finally shines on the artistry.
RIP Lowell, Ritchie, and Paul. Thank You.
Hayward and Gradney.... THE rhythm section!
best song and jam ever.
this makes me a little happy for a min or few :) I think Lowell George was cute :( we lost a excellent musician -most definitely .
man!!! i love a good funky group!!! i need that jumper the bongo player has on :)
DAMN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is some good shit.
I remember a boss telling me about waiting for Columbus, and after hearing this off of it, I was a believer❤
So thankful for this clip
DAD!
Forrest George awesome version of Spanish Moon. Feat and Tower of Power❤
Whoa - its both of you! Hello frenz.
