Saw them three times here. The first time was with the original band at UC Santa Barbara (1974?) when they opened for UFO and Fleetwood Mac. The 2nd and 3rd times was at the Concord Pavilion in the 80s with the newer (at the time) members from Pure Prairie League. For the Concord concerts they headlined the 2nd show with Jeff Healey opening for them, where Healey joined them for the encore. Was amazing - he was killing it but the band couldn't reel him back in because, well ... he was blind. Some of the most amazing 20 minutes of jamming I've ever witnessed. The 3rd show they opened for the Allman Brothers. Yeah ... *that* was a f***ing amazing show.

This is probably the best band to ever hit the stage !!!

Dixie Chicken was one of the best 10 albums of th e 1970's period, without question. Lowell George was a bad mama jama and that album was a stone cold groove.

Saw them in Celtic Park in ‘74,With the Outlaws,Sensational Alex Harvey Band and The Who Closing it-what a day!!!

The Keyboard-Solo is incredible tasty - Bill Payne is a genius

Most Underrated Rock Band ever

This set from 1977 was my first full encounter with Little Feat. They simply floored me, and I was shocked and devastated when Lowell passed not even a full two years afterwards. Saw them live with Craig Fuller in about 1989, the year after my dad died, and they sort of chased away some of the darkest clouds... So a big thank you to the band, and "rest in power" to Lowell, Richie & Paul, to the team at Rockpalast, and of course to Mercury for putting this up 😄😄😄

You just witnessed musical genius!

I saw them last night (four of the six in this video still playing) and they sounded great. The LG stand-in did the memory of George justice.

Lowell and I had an acoustic jam at Topanga Canyon Days in the late 70's. Then that night when his band (not Little Feat) played I got to sit in for a couple tunes. Was great fun. Lowell was the consumate performer.

Lowell and Bonnie were magic.

That's Lowell George, the original song-writer for Little Feat who died many years ago. We saw them back in the 70's. I was aa Tuner Technician for a major University and we invited them. What a show in 75! Why they don't the recognition they deserve is beyond me! MAR

I was 17 when Waiting for Columbus came out. To this day, it’s, one of the greatest live albums ever produced. I also remember raking leaves in my parents yard when I got the news Lowell passed away

One of the top 3 road trip albums of all time! This album waiting for Columbus,got me coast to coast on several trans continental road trips in the early 80s.roll right thru the night,folks!

Lowell gone, Ritchie gone, Paul gone but never forgotten. Takes me back to many wonderful times.

Never got the recognition they deserved!! One of my top ten bands of all time. I always thought of them as A Southern rock/ New Orleans Jazz sound! What a great combination of sound and music styles! George's Voice is one of the best I've ever heard. Could sing a Lullaby then turn around and sing the funkiest blues rock sound ever recorded. Way underrated by the mainstream Vaginas, but fans like us know what real music is!

I love this band. I wish I could thank them for all the music and good times, but alas, so many of them are gone now...
