Absolutely, - Paul Barrere (guitar, vocals), Sam Clayton (percussion), Bill Payne (piano and organ) O'Grady (bass), Richie Hayward (drums), Lowell (slide guitar and vocals) and the whole damn bad are way beyond deserving. In the 1970's we all saw them and just went - WOW, what planet did they come here from!! Bravo!
Groups from zeppelin to the stones would go to see them hoping to catch a glimpse of the musicianship that little feat was the all time collection of style dynamic and intensity .
At the sudden news of Paul's passing this morning, this 1977 performance becomes an all the more poignant remembrance. Paul credited his dad with the line in the song, "You know that you're over the hill / When your mind makes a promise your body can't fill." He enjoyed a sense of humor. I played on sessions with Paul and with Kenny for Warner's and W/E/A in the '70s, and the funk just dripped from their bones. Sail on, my friend.
Lawdy! Heard this at just 17 years of age, saw them several times, and “Time Does Love A Hero”this song sure hits different at 64😊but is a favorite from this album…. “Off our rockers, actin' crazy With the right medication we won't be lazy Doin' the old folks boogie Down on the farm Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms Gives us jus' one more chance To spin one more yarn And you know that you're over the hill When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill Doin' the old folks boogie And boogie we will 'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill Back at the home, No time is your own, Facillities there, they're all out on loan The bank forclose, and your bankruptcy shows And your credit creeps to an all-time low So you know, that you're over the hill When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle, And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles So you know, that you're over the hill When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill” Cherish that youth! Adulting isn’t for pussies~ 😉
after lowell died paul took the reins and along with fred tackett really kept the band going. both are great players as well. RIP richie. ultimate rhythmic drummer.
Agree % . Then years down the road when Paul and the boys needed a jump start a guy named Craig Fuller joined the band . Let It Roll was a kick ass album.
That's the one I've been looking for for several years. Yea Little Feat, playing Old Folks Boogie, Where Paul's voice is so strong and spot on plus the band
This song so kicks ass that it's not even funny. I personally sing this song, and it's one of the most fun songs to sing. Man, these guys do it up well. Music like this just isn't heard anymore.
God they were so good live. . . . . Just mind blowingly tight. . . and loose all at the same time. . .Payne is such a great rock pianist. . . such percussive attack but still great melody. . . .
I had the pleasure of sitting in on Richie's band at rehersal studio in North Hollywood 1980;s), great pEEps. Saw Feat with Lowell after I got out of service in 73, never forget those days.
i look away for a few moments & and then realize "hey !! ..... those licks are being played w/ a slide ??!! .... " i'm no stranger to Lowell's playing but .... that was phenomenal !
Hell, I found them when I was 18. Seen them 2 times and wnd when I win the lottery.... going to do a fund raising for a veterans organization if they would. LOVE THEM. TOWER OF POWER ALSO! My 26 year old likes them too. We have to teach them!
Best ever Midnight Special, they hosted. I recorded the audio on my 8 track... thanks so much for posting this. Lowell George heck of a slide player, RIP
What a fantastic band. When they finally came out to Australia the line up was obviously different, but we loved them, big time. They musically fit this country really well.

this band could stand up to any in the world. They all sang like motherfuckers and their playing and songwriting is second to none. Im a musician and this is some of the hardest shit to play out there (but the most fun too)
@doylestownstew Played this tune recently in local nursing home, (seriously) AND they loved it ,ate it up in fact Don't sweat it with the Seniors. Believe me, when I say, "only worry about the frustrated 55-65 olds".
Thanks for clearing that up ... I was under the impression they were married .... guess I learned something new here today - thanks for THE notice !!!!
Phish covered "Waiting for Columbus" in Atlantic City for their Halloween "costume" set. Damn good set of music played by Phish that turned a lot of younger people onto the greatness of Little Feat. Check it out if you can. You won't be disappointed.
What a classic Reminds me of good times like that 66 GTO a six pack for 1.25 the 4finger count and heavy fuel for 32 cents a gallon. The country had hope then You sensed it cause it was US in the USA then. China was mysterious not manufacturer
Thought for a moment that this might be a cover on "Old Folks Boogie" by Slim Green and the Cats from Fresno--not the same song at all but still a "get up and boogie" number.
I know that you meant to write GRADNEY, as the bass player's name, but people who aren't familiar with the band will be sent on a wild goose chase, if they are looking for the name of the bass player!!
I'm 71 and have enjoyed Little Feat for nearly 50 years!! I hope I can get someone to take my dvd to play Old Folks Boogie at my funeral!!
good choice.
I'm only 67 but It I want this played at my paupers funeral!
When I was 30 I just laughed at the tune and the lyrics. Now at 71 myself, I get it!
@@DrJohn493Gawd bless you Dr John
Not fatman in a bathtub?
I'm 70 years old. The older I get, the more I appreciate this song....LOL!
me too 70 and this takes me way back...LOVE it!!!\
65 today bought the album way back when still rocking. Going to see Sea Sick Steve next month .
Me 70 too. LOVE Little Feat- saw them in Finsbury Park Odeon back sometime in the late 60s. Waiting for Columbus is brilliant live album...
LF is pure quality
Rebecca Eno I used to play it to my Dad. Hah!
Hello I love music and I'm old -
Listened to Little Feat in high school. I never thought I'd still be listening at 63.
It's catchy. I am 60 and yeah
Me too👍memories
Ha ha ha me too! Just turned 65! 😂
I first heard them in 11th grade. Gonna be 63 in May. they still sound great!
I just realized I'm writing this in a cardiac rehab in NJ.
Wish Lowell could. have joined us in old age...hopefully we will hear him again when we pass thru The Gates
I’m 67 and still boogie!
Roll on through the night
As I age, this song means more to me! This incarnation of Little Feat SHOULD be in the R&R Hall of Fame. One of the best bands EVER!.
Off my rocker acting crazy.
One of the most talented lineups in history, still sounds good a half century later.
You know you over the hill when your mind makes promises your body can't fill.
Absolutely, - Paul Barrere (guitar, vocals), Sam Clayton (percussion), Bill Payne (piano and organ) O'Grady (bass), Richie Hayward (drums), Lowell (slide guitar and vocals) and the whole damn bad are way beyond deserving.

Bass player is Kenny Gradney but I hear ya. R.I.P. Paul.
Groups from zeppelin to the stones would go to see them hoping to catch a glimpse of the musicianship that little feat was the all time collection of style dynamic and intensity .
Aww Lowell George! Rest in peace sir
Loved it as a teen, living it now
Drove truck 21yrs. Took 17 to fulfill tuscon-tuccomceri & tehachappi -tonnopa. And i will always be in a whole lotta trouble...
Little Feat is one of best acts ever, period. Lowell George was a freakin' genius. Waiting for Columbus is the best live album ever released, period
Allman Bros. Fillmore East
@@byronh956 Yup!!
@@danodonnell7218 Flip a coin. 3 sided one tho ... Johnny Winter & Live ...
Oops, 4 sided , left out Rory Gallagher Irish Tour '74,
... every album mentioned here deserve to be here ... but ... I would add Jimi Hendrix and Electric Ladyland ...
Its amazing that when you witness history, you are totally oblivious to the fact until years later.
can I quote you? that's a good one
Always a favorite and I'm 67
We were not old then but we are now.
This song makes you want to get some friends together, order a pizza, roll a fat 1 & party/dance the night away, & see what (who) you wake up with.
R.I.P. Mr Paul
Rip Paul Barrere!
At the sudden news of Paul's passing this morning, this 1977 performance becomes an all the more poignant remembrance.

Thank you for clarifying the time frame. I was thrown back a bit. And congratulations.
I dreamt about Paul the other night. Always a caring sharing person!
Now that I'm in my 70s boy does this ring true !!!
The older I get the better I was lol
Yep. I’m not as good as I once was but I’m as good once as I ever was.
I for one am going to have this playing Loud the first day I move into a "over 55" place!!
Known by other musicians in their time as the BEST live band. Thanks to RUclips you can see why. Just great stuff!
Lawdy! Heard this at just 17 years of age, saw them several times, and “Time Does Love A Hero”this song sure hits different at 64😊but is a favorite from this album….
“Off our rockers, actin' crazy
With the right medication we won't be lazy
Doin' the old folks boogie
Down on the farm
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms
Gives us jus' one more chance
To spin one more yarn
And you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Doin' the old folks boogie
And boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill
Back at the home,
No time is your own,
Facillities there, they're all out on loan
The bank forclose, and your bankruptcy shows
And your credit creeps to an all-time low
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle,
And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill”
Cherish that youth! Adulting isn’t for pussies~ 😉
Hello Debbie! How are you doing?
Damn! Lowell was killing it on his solo!
Sending this out to all my friends today on my 53d birthday! Thanks!
after lowell died paul took the reins and along with fred tackett really kept the band going.

Mentor for all Musicians who love New Orleans style Blues...
I played this for my fAther at 87 . Now it’s my song I’m still boogieing.
That's the one I've been looking for for several years. Yea Little Feat, playing Old Folks Boogie, Where Paul's voice is so strong and spot on plus the band
Like man, dig that Feat funk !!!!
This song so kicks ass that it's not even funny. I personally sing this song, and it's one of the most fun songs to sing. Man, these guys do it up well. Music like this just isn't heard anymore.
The absolute zenith for this line up of the Feat.
Bill Payne is my favorite keyboard player.
God they were so good live. . . . . Just mind blowingly tight. . . and loose all at the same time. . .Payne is such a great rock pianist. . . such percussive attack but still great melody. . . .
We be laughing now ha ha little did we know ✌🎏🤗
One of the best renditions ever.
That slide solo at the end was incredible
Rest in peace Paul :(
I had the pleasure of sitting in on Richie's band at rehersal studio in North Hollywood 1980;s), great pEEps. Saw Feat with Lowell after I got out of service in 73, never forget those days.
True over the hill when mind makes a promise your body can't fill Richmond Virginia to NYC what a sequence of performances
I'm actually doing an advanced diploma of music and I think some of my lectures should watch guys like this.
RIP Paul Barrere
Us old folks thank thee!
Oh come on now....THIS IS MUSIC!!!
i look away for a few moments & and then realize "hey !! ..... those licks are being played w/ a slide ??!! .... "
i'm no stranger to Lowell's playing but .... that was phenomenal !
Funky as hell.
Brilliant, miss Lowell, love Little Feat, for mine, this band challenges all the big famous bands, brilliant. Kenny Gradney, still playing, ya legend.
Hell, I found them when I was 18. Seen them 2 times and wnd when I win the lottery.... going to do a fund raising for a veterans organization if they would. LOVE THEM. TOWER OF POWER ALSO! My 26 year old likes them too. We have to teach them!
never sounded better ♥
The groove on this from about 2:40 under lowell's solo is just so in the pocket. . .
Was listening to Waiting for Columbus today.
A rocking band is playing alongside living on
WE LOVE YOU, PAUL. BE WELL.
beautiful mix
they always had the best sound on stage
DAMN, I MISS BIB OVERALLS !
Best ever Midnight Special, they hosted. I recorded the audio on my 8 track... thanks so much for posting this. Lowell George heck of a slide player, RIP
What a fantastic band. When they finally came out to Australia the line up was obviously different, but we loved them, big time. They musically fit this country really well.

Great song, but those lyrics are pretty depressing for Boomers who thought they’d be twenty somethings forever.
Shit ……I’m 69!!!😎
Feats was mebbe the tightest show/stage band i ever heard...
If you want to see a band as tight as Little Feat, go see The Mavericks. Their Shows are totally smokin
@ajg23p I believe it's Ritchie Hayward, who passed way a week ago or so. Great drummer.
this band could stand up to any in the world. They all sang like motherfuckers and their playing and songwriting is second to none. Im a musician and this is some of the hardest shit to play out there (but the most fun too)
R.I.P. Paul Barrere
Lowell George's guitar slide was a Craftsman 13/16 deep well socket😎😁
love the song, makes me sentimental
@doylestownstew Played this tune recently in local nursing home, (seriously) AND they loved it ,ate it up in fact
Don't sweat it with the Seniors. Believe me, when I say, "only worry about the frustrated 55-65 olds".
Thanks for clearing that up ... I was under the impression they were married .... guess I learned something new here today - thanks for THE notice !!!!
2:40 great stuff
Talent!!!
greeeeeaaaat sound.
There's Lowell's famous orange suede Dumble...wow!
Billy Payne is up there with Garth Hudson and Leon Russell among the all time best keyboard players.
Phish covered "Waiting for Columbus" in Atlantic City for their Halloween "costume" set. Damn good set of music played by Phish that turned a lot of younger people onto the greatness of Little Feat. Check it out if you can. You won't be disappointed.
Right about 2:40 this groove is so locked.
so true!!
Why aren't these guys in the RNR hall of fame yet!?
This is good theraphy
What a classic Reminds me of good times like that 66 GTO a six pack for 1.25 the 4finger count and heavy fuel for 32 cents a gallon. The country had hope then You sensed it cause it was US in the USA then. China was mysterious not manufacturer
hey nuttinhere-this is great.any more songs from this special?
Love this one and
This is awsome, thanks!! I have 2 Lil' Feat concerts that utube will not let me post any suggestions?
Email me...I might be able to help. koolector@yahoo.com
Thought for a moment that this might be a cover on "Old Folks Boogie" by Slim Green and the Cats from Fresno--not the same song at all but still a "get up and boogie" number.
Me too
LOWELL GEORGEW ROCKS AND WHEN HE AND BONNIE RAIT WERE MARRIED THEY ROCKED TOGETHER !!!
Married?
I'm 77, when my dad was my age, he'd been dead 45 YEARS!
1:55 wow
one of the best leads ever
2:00 that guy is great
the greatest 15 seconds probably ever... uh sorry not really but they sure just sounded great haha
An all time low.1😎
@grafikfeat Can that be so? No kidding, these guys were one of the 2 or 3 greatest rock bands America ever produced if not THE best...
Country funk
Oh yeah!
Missing Paul!
I know that you meant to write GRADNEY, as the bass player's name, but people who aren't familiar with the band will be sent on a wild goose chase, if they are looking for the name of the bass player!!
For you baby
Cause people think they's ugly (even though we know they's beautiful).
@infinitecatfish Kenny Gradney. He replaced original bass guitar player Roy Estrada.
