...i WAS THERE !! GRATEFUL FOR THAT (AT MY YOUNG AGES ) UNTIL TODAY ! THE GENIUS EVEN SPOKE (THEN IN ESSEN) I KNOW THAT'S ANOTHER KIND OF "SLIDING" THEN BY BROTHER DUANNE BUT'... O MAN IT'S LOWELL GENIUS PLAYER AND COMPOSER !!!✨👑🪄🪄
Als der "WDR" die 1. Rockpalast-Nacht vom Juli 1977 anläßlich des 40. Jahrestages im Juli 2017 "komplett" ausstrahlte, wurde dieses Interview herausgeschnitten, es wurde NICHT gesendet. Hat jemand 1 Idee, wieso oder warum😈😈??
I love how he references Ry Cooder when he plays the harder tune; my two favorite guitar players with such a rich history together and influence on one another.
one of the funkiest white boys ever to inhabit the planet....RIP Lowell George He uses open A tuning btw...not G...he'd been doing it so long he'd forgotten.
I still feel ashamed for these two dumb german interviewers after all these years! Maybe the silliest question Lowell George ever had to answer: "Is that difficult?" Holy shit! How stupid can you be?
Oh? Yes, awesome Lowell! No one caught it? See my comment from 9 yrs ago. But the real question is, did you notice how he lost his train of thought afterwards? He was such a rascal! Never stop loving you, Lowell. You're still breakin' my heart after all these years.
Great video - thanks. I think Lowell was a rare, super-talented rock musician. He had a beautiful, soulful voice, wrote some great songs and was a guitar master - especially slide.
It seems he died from a speedball - just like John Belushi.

2 notes..but it's how you play thos suckers. Cooder..haha nice reference - his contemporary - was Steve Miller influenced by Lowell or just coincidenc their voices sound similar? Lowell sounds more southern though
@jazzkid66 Sounds good on acoustic also, check out Son House's videos on youtube. Son may have been the first to use "Da Socket Slide". But Lowell always had that "Rocket Socket in his Pocket" and ready to slide . :o)
It was a sad loss to music history to have lost Lowell George back in 1979 ,...31 yrs later Little Feat lost drummer Ritchie Hayward .sadly both are all time greats that are gone and both left voids that cant be filled,... only copied ..this is so comical ,Lowell trying to explain slide guitar to this hopeless (I think German) show host ...
@MRxLOKI Just for the record: Lowell and Paul were both from Hollywood, CA. (Lowell used to call himself "the fat kid from Hollywood") Bill Payne was from Texas. Richie was from Iowa. Not sure, but Kenny and Sam could have been from the New Orleans area, but were working on the west coast when they all got hooked up.
Thank you for this post - loved hearing "China White" - even if only for a minute or so!!I love Lowell George and Little Feat. Truly one of the most under appreiciated bands of all time
HOLY CRAP! as soon as he touched those strings and started singing my hair stood on end! He may make that look easy but it isnt! The man is a legend, and my favorite of all time
The greatest white blues singer ever. No comparison needed because there AREN'T any. Feat has never gotten the recognition they richly deserve, but that's ok. If everyone and their brother were "into" Feat, it would sort of cheapen it. The chemistry the band had during the mid to late 70's was unmatched. Specifically on "Feats Don't Fail Me Now" album. There are several moments where all components come together to make sheer magic.
Such shame this wasn't very long for us guitarists
The most Incredible Lowell George

whats the name of the song in the bigining????
Mansur Hardriff China White
What an incredible, effortless, beautiful voice this man had. An absolute natural singer.
Wow what an amazing guy & band. So many great bands but they stood alone. His voice was so smooth. What a loss!
Makes me wish I had been able to keep up my Hawaiin guitar classes, but I was a kid and had very little say in the matter.
There he is the most soulful white man who ever hit the stage in my humble opinion.
Used a socket for a slide many times. Thought I was the onky one...guess not!
"I like 'em this way!" lol 😍
one of the funkiest white boys ever to inhabit the planet....RIP Lowell George He uses open A tuning btw...not G...he'd been doing it so long he'd forgotten.
Open A string configuration in the key of G

"My sister used to b flat", "yeah, until she got it in the "A"!! What a one liner! And no one else seeems to have caught it! Awesome Lowell!
nay, nay...see my comment 8 years ago...I caught it just fine...Lowell the rascal...loved this dude...and LF rules!

a voice like a angel,even with a cigarette in is mouth.
WHY, not HOW.
All you "Guitar Heroes" pay close attention to 2:12-2:54. You might learn something.
We lost Lowell because of his addiction to coke!!!....end of!!
I love the way he can transport you to a different place while also talking to a table full of German 'anoracks'
thanks!!!

Man, I like this dude. " till she got it in the A" haha
So really, Lowell George played 11/16 Craftsmen socket guitar, not slide guitar. :o)
@nahughes9000 'China White' on the 'Hoy Hoy' album.
@LodgeLady1 Heh, and called his singing style 'white boy got the woo-woos.'
