1988 I was on St John’s in Virgin Islands and a guy asked iff I heard Waiting for Columbus. I had not. I bought it a day or two later. One of the finest records I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Masterpiece
@@evhbombastic I can only guess that what you mean is something gross and inappropriate and something that you would not say if I were standing in front of you.
@@TheTinyAutistsGuideToTheGalaxy I would say that to your face anywhere, anytime. One would think with a user name like the one you're using, that you would have a sense of humor. At least you let everyone know how worldly and self-righteous you think you are. Sorry to hurt your delicate feelings, Karen. BTW, I have seen LF at least 6 or 7 times. They were freaking incredible every time. I even got the chance to hang out with them in the green room at the Fox in Boulder. An awesome group of guys they were. That band most certainly has a sense of humor.
I lived in Anne arundel county back then, a friend was a dj on Whfs in Bethesda. He gave me a copy of Linda Ronstatd and Lowell George in an promotion/interview/impromptu awesome mini acoustic concert. D.C. sure did love Little Feat
So good to hear this music live and breathe! This is a very legitimate “Little Feat” quality wise, and I saw em in 1978…. Every bit of this show was top notch! Better than when I saw them 10 yrs ago. The new guitarist/singer really completes the sound.
I say JUANITA!!!! One of the greatest songs ever. Much appreciate the video, they still have it. Waiting For Columbus is in my top 3 all time favorite live albums after Europe '72 & The Allman Brother Live at the Fillmore East. Someday Spotcheck Billy will get some hit & run. Peace!
Always considered one of my life's greatest pleasures is having seen Little Feat in 1977, fronted by the great Lowell George, backed by the tremendous Richie Hayward, accompanied by the wonderful Paul Barrere, with Billy, Sam and Kenny of this incarnation. They opened for Fleetwood Mac at the Forum in Inglewood, CA., but Feat was why we went! What a great, great band!
I saw them around 1977 or there abouts in Auckland New Zealand. I arrived late and heard a clonky version of I think One good women, and remember thinking, how can a clumsy support band do a cover of the main act's material. As I took my seat, I realised it was actually Little Feat. They sounded aweful and I thought... well maybe they're just a good recording band, but after about four songs the sound tightened up, the mix was finally balanced, and Lowel's vocal began to resonate. Long story short... it was the best band I'd ever heard live, even including Frank Zappa's outfit I'd seen a few months earlier. I experienced a transcendent evening , so wonderfull that I'm lost for words to describe. Another guitarist I was working with at the time joined me and my flatmate with his last minute date ( we had both just split from our girlfriends and I took my flatmate, where he asked the office girl from his warehouse). At the end of the concert we returned to my bandmate's flat for a big party, and were shocked when in walked his date ( the secretary) with none other than Lowell George on her arm. Shehad never attended a rock concert before, and had apparently gone backstage, then seeing Lowell sitting there, had simply taken him by the hand and led him out to a Taxi, and into our party. Lowell was not well known in NZ, and looked fairly ordinary, wearing denims and a thick beard, so that most people at the party didn't recognise him. I was introduced to him, and nodded to say hello. Being so intoxicated, he didn't know which way was up, let alone how to string a sentence together, but grunted something in response ; so I left him to enjoy the gathering and refrained from asking him the million questions that came to mind, and had to leave to get home myself. A week later when I spoke to my friend he told me excitedly that Lowell had promised all sorts of things like producing a record for him if he accompanied him back to the US. In fact this was all talk, and when they arrived at US Customs, both my guitarist friend and Lowell's friend ( the secretary who had brought him to the party) were both turned aside and sent back to NZ, seeing they no garantee of work for their temporary visa. Lowell just left them standing at the gate and walked in without them. I'll always remember the incandescent performance the band achieved after a slow warmup, and just how trashed Lowell was at the party. ( good times!)😊
Unbelievable "Times Loves a Hero" on this performance. The instrumentals and solo performances will blow you away. Starts around 28 minutes and runs for about 20 minutes. Strap-in and get ready for an incredible performance. It will bring you back decades to some amazing writing by Lowell.

We attended our first Little Feat concert mid-70s at the National Theater in DC. The huge cloud of smoke that persisted during the show kept the place very happy. Don't know how the National withstood the bass speakers! We still don't know how we got home, so forget designated drivers who simply breath during the show. The Feat will always be our favorite band. Thanks for sharing the magical videos!
As a Gen X'er I'm only later in life exploring some of my parents' generations music. Little Feat seems to have been almost the Grateful Dead of L.A. in some regards. Cross over with Zapa. Legendary.
Saw these guys in St. Paul last October. They were amazing! I don't know of any recordings of it, so am happy to come across this one from a couple months later. Thank you!!!
Paul was a close friend, he would have wanted Feat to continue. Nice new line up, but with Kenny on Bass, Billy on Keys, Sam on percussion and Fred on guitar there will always be a Feat!
So, obviously that's Bill Payne on keys. Is it Sam Clayton on percussion? I'm assuming it's not Richie on drums. Tho the drummer looks quite a bit like him. Plays like him too.
I agree the kid on drums does look like he might be Richie's son. Anybody know? Live albums, has to be 4: Fillmore East, Waiting for Columbus, Rock of Ages (the Band)... now Live at the Academy, and Europe '72. Skynyrd's last from the road right behind and Muddy Live at Mr. Kelly's
WOW. Just realised this through a cider haze, if my favourite footballball team (Cardiff City) can change their players each season, then so can my favourite bands. To be fair though, Feat are doing better than Bluebirds. Still not Toshack and Dwyer though is it. 😅

Are you sure he didn't ask you if you were "waiting for Epstein"?

Time to get these guys into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame! Immortalize Lowell's legacy.
Washington D.C stood still when Lowel died. Washinton DC was the biggest fan base. It was a great time living there when Feat came back to town.
Saw em in 1978
spot on, we felt it living in Silver Spring Md in the 70's. I miss Lowell he was gifted

*That intro gave me goosebumps!* 45 years later and I STILL listen to songs from this album weekly. *…WFC = GOAT…*

3 of the best live albums IMO
Exactly my choise!!!

I have listened to this band for years. They do know how to jam!!!
Well done by my favorite band ever recreating my favorite album ever. Listening to this took a few years off of my age.
The original WFC is one of the greatest live records ever! :)
The Feat are back, supercharged and kickin’ ass! 👍👍👍✌️
Theeee most underrated album ever!

Nice to see and hear this latest incarnation of the Feat is excellent.
I was exposed to Feat in 1990. Out of nowhere I hear Sam's baritone.. I was hooked. lol 😎🎸🎸🎸🎸.
I saw Little Feat open for the Allmans in 91 at the Philadelphia Spectrum,it changed my direction in music forever
Saw them 75 in D.C. 🎉
Amazing band! Great music!

my favorite album is little feat let it roll love it !!!❤❤❤❤❤
I found Little Feat in the very early ‘70’s when I moved from Milwaukee to Sacramento and never let go
I had a tape of the original WFC show which I listened to constantly during the late '70s... it's so awesome to see them play the whole show again.
The Feat. Cooler then the underside of the pillow!!
This show ,should be put out on CD,Vinyl,and blu Ray.4 k to and dolby atmos.😊
I wonder what production company shot this, they did a great job.
Saw these guys in St. Paul last October. They were amazing! I don't know of any recordings of it, so am happy to come across this one from a couple months later. Thank you!!!
Paul was a close friend, he would have wanted Feat to continue. Nice new line up, but with Kenny on Bass, Billy on Keys, Sam on percussion and Fred on guitar there will always be a Feat!
Meraviglioso
Where is the girl who sings beautiful back ground? Miss her.
日本にも来て〜😂
Is that Sam Clayton on percussion?
yes
Cheers Mon Cul!🎉
well done, IMHO, come to El Salvador, soon
WoW!
really, they make me weep
I got a rocket in my pocket. Rock it, boys!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So, obviously that's Bill Payne on keys. Is it Sam Clayton on percussion? I'm assuming it's not Richie on drums. Tho the drummer looks quite a bit like him. Plays like him too.
Yes, Sam on percussion and Kenny Gradney on bass. The 3 originals still alive in 2023
Ritchie died 2010

@@JohnHaslam-nh8tnTony Leone on drums, he played with Levon Helm.

WOW. Just realised this through a cider haze,
if my favourite footballball team (Cardiff City) can change their players each season, then so can my favourite bands.
To be fair though, Feat are doing better than Bluebirds.
Still not Toshack and Dwyer though is it. 😅
They really are musoz musoz
And they're still not in the Hall of Fame along with Jethro Tull
The Hall of Fame is a joke these days. IMHO, they have higher status by not being in the HOF, as does TULL.
@@ALBERTKING901agreed. Stooges and MC5 agree also.
Is that Kenny Gradney on guitar?
Kenny is on bass.
I can play like george
Not little feet

makes you want to get your vinyl albums out and listen to them all again

Who's that taking Paul Barerres place ?
Fred Tackett guitar & trumpet, and Barrere was replaced by Scott Sharrard from the Gregg Allman Band.
Scott Sharrard is a good guitarist
@@alanlatimer1024 I agree, amazing, delightful leads!
