Little Feat Appreciation Thread

Any Little Feat fans out there?
Great live band and Waiting For Columbus may be one of the best live albums ever. Lowell George was a fantastic slide guitar player and the other musicians were also outstanding. A very underrated band in my opinion. Thoughts?
Favorite tracks are All That You Dream, Triple Face Boogie, and Spanish Moon

Yep. Not sure if I agree on the underrated part. They were pretty strong 69-79 considering the bands they were up against. They were (and still are) in my rotation back in high school and college.

I wasn't around for their heyday, but I rarely hear them get mentioned when talking about bands that were big in this era. I know they have a pretty loyal following though.

Two Trains, Willin, Rock n Roll Doctor!

kinda a weird group for me, always have had their music around but never have been one of my elite favorites. Still, some of their stuff is pretty timeless that anyone could enjoy today if you listened to it for the first time. I consider their rootsy loose sound a part of what eventually became the jam band sound.

only with Lowell George... At any point in time, Willin' may be my favorite tune of all time...

Love them, good change of pace music, relaxing music.
Lowell George is/was very underrated.
All their live stuff is on a pretty regular rotation on my iTunes

One of my favorite bands and albums. I never saw them with Lowell George but I did see their first concert after his death (on the Riverboat President for Jazz Fest). That was the best concert I've ever seen or ever will see. Pretty much did Waiting For Columbus again. Saw them a couple of years later and the concert was awful. Then a few years after that with Sonny Landreth and it was a very good show. Top notch musicians throughout. Bill Payne on piano especially. Lowell George was in Frank Zappa's band for a while and it seemed like he learned some from Zappa's high standards for musicians. So many great songs but Willin really is the standout to me. Linda Ronstadt doing All That You Dream at the tribute concert for Lowell George is one of the great live performances ever. Lowell George was near his creative peak when he died; what a loss.
