Видеоклипы
When the Little Feat went on the turntable... the party was on..............
Official party album at my house! Along with Wet Willie's "Drippin' Wet" live album!
We were tapping the keg,s, rolling up the skinny,s/ lol😮😮😊
Honestly, "Waiting for Columbus" is one of the best live albums ever. I'm biased toward the versions on it because it's the first way I ever heard their music. The studio versions are usually slower and to me not as vibrant. Did get to see them in concert at the Warner Theater in DC but Lowell George (the lead singer and guitarist) had died a year or so prior to that. It was still a great concert.
Totally agree!
Less Vibrant! That's the wording I always wanted to find when describing most studio stuff compared to live. Not all, of course. The deep track "Easy to Slip" is in my top 3 Little Feat songs.
@@Alewifes_Husband Glad I could provide you with the adjective you were seeking...
Agreed! Waiting for Columbus is one of the ten albums I’d take to an electrified deserted island.
i play this every road trip i take. i get so much energy from it. it's like lightening in a bottle. wish i'd had the chance to see them then.
That is indeed Tower of Power Horns on both versions. They absolutely tear it up on Waiting for Columbus! So glad y'all are back in The Feat! Live is REAL, and I almost always lean to live material from my favorites, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, Little Feat, String Cheese Incident, Billy Strings, etc. You're about ready for "Mercenary Territory" now, from WFC! Want a straight out blazing rocker? "Tripe Face Boogie" from WFC! Good observation on the unique art work on Feat's covers by Neon Park!! Kenny Gradney (bass), Sam Clayton (percussion), and Richie Hayward (drums) (RIP brother!) were a helluva rhythm section and give Feat that unique backbone! Backing vocals on this album included Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris!
We really ought to try to persuade Nick & Lex to do the whole Side 3 (?) -- "Dixie Chicken" into "Tripe Face" into "Rocket in My Pocket." Maybe they'd have to do it over on Patreon.
@@arthurmarx6427 They really should just do the album! I'm finding the one MAJOR difference between our generations is that I (we) are "album oriented" and they are "single or playlist" oriented. Unless you made your own tapes back then there was no way to create "playlists", so we would drop the needle on side one and GO! 99% or the time, Side Two would follow!
Agree..mercenary territory...and the others mentioned...lovem
Allman Bros live at Filmore will always hold the title of best live album, but Waiting for Columbus is right up there, a great great live album.
I'm with you! Fillmore East, Waiting for Columbus, and Europe 72 by The Grateful Dead are my trinity of live albums!
@@tommathews3964 Absolutely love Europe 72. Sympatica brother lol
@@ericanderson8886 It's in my truck CD player right now! (along with about 20 other Dead albums or shows!!)
I would add at least 3 or 4 to that list. Europe 72 by the Dead, Band of Gypsies, Humble Pie Rockin the Fillmore and Stones Get Yer Ya Yas Out.
Guys that make my POV sound logical! Awesome...just like the memories I have being there in July of 76’ Stuttgart was the hot spot that evening!
Something very unusual here - the words being sung are far easier to make out in the live version than on the studio version. I almost always prefer studio versions but not in this case. Waiting For Columbus is one of the top 2 or 3 live albums of all time.
Try making a list of either 5 or 10 albums that you might take to a properly prepared desert island, and that you only get those albums and nothing more, while you’re on the island.
Yea, the studio version is great but the live one is so vibrant.
It's the Tower of Power you hear. Impeccable.......love both versions yet believe that 'waiting for Columbus ' is one of my favorite live albums...the second is Jethro Tull 'Bursting Out' phenomenal.
Robert Palmer does this well too.
Very good ears. It was Tower of Power.
Live blows it AWAY!! Almost all of the WFC tracks are better than their studio brethren. On tour, it was indeed the Tower of Power horn section with Little Feat. I am not sure about the studio version.
EDIT: The reasons for my preferring the live version are -- the slightly slower, smoky pace; the more visceral vocal from Lowell George (May he rest in perfect peace); the lyrics are slightly more bawdy and playful; it runs longer (so more enjoyment; and MOST OF ALL the ending where the drums/bass work together and then just the drums and the perfect way Richie Hayward ends it.
I was fortunate to get to see them live twice/ but after Lowell passed. I,ve been a fan since 76 though
@@claytonflinchum3962 saw them once, too, but also after Lowell passed. It was about 1987.
Tower of Power Horn section on both versions.
Good call on Tower of Power! Lowell even calls out "Tower of Power Horns" on the live version. Check out All That You Dream, Time Loves a Hero, and Dixie Chicken all on Waiting for Columbus. Great lyrics for Dixie Chicken.
In late June of 1979, I was driving on Sunset Blvd on my way to the Rainbow to buy tickets for Lowell George's First Los Angeles Solo Performance, only to hear the announcement of his death the night before in the Washington, DC area on the radio. I have never been the same since, and neither has Little Feat. In 1987, I attended the reunion show in LA where Eric Clapton showed up dressed in an impeccable suit to play Apolitical Blues; he sounded sad; the band never got up to speed, not even on Let It Roll. These days, I feel for Bill, Sam, and Kenny; they try, but the magic left with Mr. George's passing; even with Paul, they couldn't regain the magic. Waiting for Columbus was the definitive moment in time to seal their legacy. In 2019, they celebrated their 50th anniversary, 40 years after the magic had left the building; in June, we celebrate the 45th anniversary of the passing of that magic. RIP, My dear Feats.
Saw LF in April, where they performed "Waiting for Columbus" in its' entirety (45th anniversary). Even though they were missing some key personnel from the original tour (Lowell George, Richie Hayward, Paul Barrere and the TOP horns), they still put on a great show. It was great seeing such a die-hard group of fans from back in the day as well as new converts; several walkers, canes, and hearing aids in the crowd but a good time was had by all. Reminded me of one of my favorite Little Feat songs, "Old Folks Boogie" from the Time Loves A Hero LP, you should give it a listne some time. Thanks for exposing new people to this great, great band!
We have tickets for next week!! Yay!!
I stopped before you even listened to the first studio version to say that you picked the best live version. I heard the "Waiting for Columbus" version about a year ago and immediately ordered it.
So glad you hit Little Feat again. Both versions and many more tracks by Little Feat make regular appearances on my playlist. Lex, you’ve been making great finds lately. Nick, you’re killing the metal segment but as you discovered - man can not live on metal alone. Lol 😂 Gotta have the body-rockin’ funk ‘n groove with some jazzy bits thrown in for your head. ✨😜
Hi Michelle Michelle, I think Nick would really like Day at the dog races and I would put down Lex for all that you dream. I’ll add that in my comments always love seeing your comments. 👍
@@scottanderson8420 Hey 👋 Scott. Always good to see you roaming the comment tunnels lol. Many people list “Day at the Dog Races” as their favorite. I like the whole album - I can play it through. “Red Streamliner” is a favorite and NnL covered it (Hope they go back for another listen on their own too). Lately, I’m laughing at the humorous “Old Folks Boogie.” Ha 😜 Thanks, my Friend! ✨😉
Down on the farm, wheelchairs they were locked arm in arm. Yes red streamliner is the favorite of mine as well.
@@scottanderson8420 “When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill.”
Unfortunately, Lowell was in bad shape even at a young age. I’ve seen the band without him and had a good time (Got to meet Bill Payne) but Lowell was a unique talent - miss him. (RIP) ✨🤩
Lowell was very special his solo album is great and eclectic . A lot of the original lineup has passed Lowell, Paul and Ritchie. All rip. Hoy Hoy😎
I was blessed to be at the LA show on the waiting for Columbus tour. It was a moment frozen in time and as a 19 year old, it did changed my life. That show was soooo special. The crowd bounced to the groove and it was a homecoming party - musician’s musicians. The crowd was a who’s who of the LA music scene at that time. I’ve worked and been to many Feat shows since and it was never the same, except maybe in Phoenix years later with Craig Fuller channeling Lowell (perhaps too much so) on a rotating stage. The Spanish moon version at that show was probably my #2 Feat show moment, but nowhere near that of the Shrine Auditorium show in LA on June 18, 1978 just a year before he died.
Great reaction guys thank you so much. I loved the interaction between you! Absolutely superb 👌 great to see our friends 👏. Both versions very good 👍
One highlight of the live album for me was "Apolitical Blues" with guest lead guitar by Mick Taylor (John Mayall, Rolling Stones). Then Lowell George appeared on Taylor's solo album. Also, it was Little Feat's Lowell George's inclusion of the Rickie Lee Jones song "Easy Money" on his solo album that paved the way for her getting a record contract. If you hear a guitar with a flanger effect that would be Paul Barrere, as opposed to Lowell George usually on slide.
Lowell and his plug socket slide. He learned to play slide after injuring his hand putzing around with a model airplane and used a spark plug socket for his slide.
Little Feat, this album, would be one of my 10 albums I would take when stranded on a desert island...with the BEST stereo!
RIP Lowell George! You were one of the best!!! The rest of y’all too!
Waiting for Columbus is the best live album ever made a truly unique band
Waiting for Columbus is EPIC✌🤘
That funky keyboard is a clavinet..in the 70’s you had to have a Hammond, Fender Rhodes, Mini Moog and a Clavinet.
Always loved this - thanks for posting.
Awesome! I have much love for both versions.
In my very humble opinion, this is a Top 3 live album for me. Every song on Waiting for Columbus is great. Lowell George is a great front man as well. His solo stuff was good.
lucky to see them with lowell in 1977 and they were fantastic
I've loved the Feats Don't Fail Me Now album for decades - for me it's Little Feat's equivalent to The Yes Album, by which I mean Feat had done stuff I loved before this, but something about FDFMN just clicked for me and I knew I'd be following the band rabidly from them on. That said, gotta agree with Lex that I do favor the live version from Columbus. So glad you guys finally heard this and can't wait to hear (a lot) more Feat!
Heey I had a feeling it was a good day. There really are no losers on the Waiting For Columbus album. On Tower of Power: gotta check out "What is Hip?" like you're doing this one: Studio cut's gotta amazing horns, the live that everyone does is way faster because of television time constraints, also fun though.
That song kicks ass!! Now in that case I would recommend the studio version. The sound quality on the live versions I've heard suck.
This song, especially the funky energy of the live version, always reminds me of partying at the Boys Town in Ojinaga Mexico in the early 70s. Wild times. LOL
Both versions are wonderful. In the studio Little Feat were amazingly tight, controlled, and creative. They added layers to studio versions that were not possible on stage. On this song, Billy Payne showed what a virtuoso he was. The clavinet is wonderfully funky, but the organ is the real standout. You talked about the fade-out. The organ at the very end of the song is so powerful and evocative. I’m thinking NOOO don’t stop now, Payne is just starting to roll!
Bill Payne, Richie Hayward and Kenny Gradney are all virtuoso musicians. And they all sold their souls for the song. Any solos they took stayed in the groove, in the song.
The live version is just another great example of how talented these guys were.
I really like the live version and the hole album is one of my favorites. I thing you both are musicians and I like if young people like this music too. Keep it up it's very cool. Many greetings from Hamburg (Germany)
Little feat is one of the tightest bands ever.saw them ten times, the first was in '78 for the waiting for Columbus album tour. What I liked so much was there was almost no difference between studio or live. Virtually no other band could replicate on stage what they did in studio
LOVE IT..WHEN I WAS IN MY TEENS BACK IN THE 70'S I ADORED THESE GUYS..STILL DO ..I BOUGHT FEATS DON'T FAIL ME NOW AS SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL IN 74 AND PLAYED iT DAILY FOR AWHILE..LOWELL GEORGE'S DAUGHTER INARA GEORGE WAS IN A BAND CALLED THE BIRD AND THE BEE..THEY ARE FANTASTIC AS IS HER SOLO STUFF..KEEP EM' COMIN' MY ROCKY MTN FRIENDS...LOVE,KENT.
Live is even funkier and really features the fine vocals without losing the Tower of Power horns. LOVE the baritone sax. Just TOO short.
At the end of this song the band leaves the stage, one by one, starting with the horn section and ending with the drummer. The crowd was cheering for an empty stage. Encore time!
Yes! Love me Little Feat. Been listening to them for decades. With TOP horns it's over the top.
Yay 🎉 live tracks
Lex gets my rolling-off-a-log easy vote for the live version! The studio track has the fully realized perfected design, but lacks that dark emotional vibe that reinforces the lyrics with full meaning. The opening molasses-like narco bass notes paints a picture of an "anything goes" club where the legal and the illegal are comfortably shoulder-to-shoulder and yet there's that ever present feeling of danger there too. It's late 70s and people are rolling up dollar bill straws and snorting coke lines off the countertop and tables. The upper/downer combo of coke and whiskey is essentially a weaker version of the infamous speedball which combines coke and heroin. Lowell George, Little Feat's singer and slide guitar ace, to his detriment, really indulged in this dangerous mix. So in this club setting the social atmosphere can go from very friendly and outgoing to the sudden flash of angry belligerence. The potential for a gun to be brought out is real. The concert take ideally captures the potential menace of how it felt to be in that joint. The Garden of Eden (weed and psychedelics) was ruined when cocaine came on the scene and brought along its big vicious dogs and guns.
Great bass!
Also check out Robert Palmer's version of Spanish Moon (backed by Little Feat members!)
This is a must!
When I got my 8 track, the first tape I brought was feats don’t fail me now and the last record album, also I’d love to hear romance dance. Great tune.
The live cut was always my favorite. Thanks for the side-by-side comparison! Peace! ✌🤘
Was lucky enough to see Feat at this live recording. Had a yard sale to get tickets for the next night show.
saw them on YT doing Dixie Chicken live with Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt on back up vocals - it was just wow
The horns actually ARE the Tower of Power!
Little Feat is an awesome live band! Always go with the live version.
I've owned both albums since the '70s; and although Waiting For Columbus is top notch, I will always play the studio version. I am not any kind of music 'expert' but to my ears the studio version is way more funky.
I mean - that intro!!
Personally I would always take the WFC live version of this song over the studio. For the lead vocal if nothing else. To each his own.
I have to admit I even skipped it here on this video :)
@@booboo8577 Me too.
Definitely the live version-it’s raunchier sounding, which puts across the atmosphere of a dark sleazy dangerous dive much better.
Perfect
Some candles, red light and just riding all night through 😜
Little Feat is ALWAYS better LIVE to me. Waiting For Columbus is a CLASSIC album… Live or otherwise. But the studio stuff is always interesting to hear too. I like it all. THANKS for doing this reaction ! You two are GREAT !
I'm curious what they will think of some of the deep stuff, like "Sailin' Shoes" or "Apolitical Blues" or the subdued, sublime "Dixie Chicken" album. Betting it won't be as well received as the Funk Feat.
@@tommathews3964 the studio version of Spanish Moon is more like the WFC live version than most of their songs. The stidio version has the New Orleans Second Line feel they they instilled in Columbus.
@@izzonj Very true, but the WFC stuff just kills me! Down and dirty, almost feel like you need a shower after the WFC version! :)
@@tommathews3964 I have to admit that WFC was my introduction to Little Feat. Actually, my real introduction was a band at my college that covered some of their songs - a lot of talented folks in that group. Then, all of a sudden, that album was playing at every party on campus.
I think Lowell George tried to be too much of a perfectionist in the studio and as a result it didn't have that wild, raw feeling they had on stage, where they'd really cut loose.
@@izzonj Totally agree with the studio feel vs. live! As with all bands worth a hoot, I'll always take live, warts and all! Doesn't mean I don't like the studio stuff, just always been a live junkie!
This song is straight up FUNK!!!
You should do the live version.
Finally, somebody picks up on these guys!
The concert version comes before a break and a instruments drop out they lane the stage. That's why the call out to "Tower o power hoorns" and the bits of applause as guys take their bows finally getting down to Kenny and Ritchie on bass and percussion, then Ritchie all alone.
Whoot Whoot!! First you came back to Rush and now Little Feat!
💖💖💖
Yes! I feel exactly the same way!!
I was lucky enough to see Little Feat live in London in the 1970s when they were part of a Warner Bros records tour. They were brilliant and when they were followed by the Doobie Brothers, the Doobs got booed, ha ha. Everyone was chanting, we want Feat. I think Montrose might have been on the same bill. More Little Feat please. Keep up the good work.
That's some good stuff right there, especially the Live version.
Rock N Roll Doctor and Mercenary Territory are two great tunes by Feat that you could do this same type of comparison. Lowell George, RIP.
That there is some seriously nasty funk blues. Love it.
One of my top 5 bands of all time , seen original with Lowell George , 2 twice , and virus combos of this band 7 times , and still great band
Had the great good fortune to see Little Feat with Lowell George on the Waiting For Columbus Tour back in 1978 way up in New Hampshire. One of the best concerts, of the over 500 I have attended in my life. Saw them a bunch of times after Lowell passed. RIP Lowell, Paul Barrere and Richie Hayward. You guys were GREAT.
Lex! Go get the tape! Seriously, sorry Nick, I couldn't resist it. I like both versions equally as I think they do what it says on the tin. The studio version has a great production, so it's great. The live version allows the band to stretch out more, showcasing their amazing playing, so it's great! Love it NicknLex, more Feat please. All the best tracks are mentioned below in the comments.
Little Feat... always makes me want to roll a fat one and kick back and relax like the good 'ole college days.
Little Feat!111 Live!111
Great tune and great reaction as always. Thanks for introducing me to more of Little Feat, i had heard "Fat Man in a Bathtub" long ago but never went down the rabbit hole, now i am very tempted. I am afraid i liked both studio and live versions equally :). so I cannot help you there.
Dixie chicken from waiting for Columbus is a MUST HEAR!!
Live has so much more life and punch
Check out Robert Palmer’s version of this song.
Ahhhhhh... One of the greatest rock songs by one of rocks greatest bands. Twice! Thank you!
Been thinking you guys haven't covered much of the R&B, soul side of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Check out James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, the great Marvin Gaye, Mateo Parker, Teddy Pendergrass, Jimi Hendrix, the Temptations, Otis Reading, Wilson Pickett, Jackie Wilson... Time to broaden out the color pallet!
I heard the live version first, and it's still my favorite. Having said that, the studio version es muy bueno!!! It IS tighter and more intricate without being cluttered. If Lowell George's voice was as deep and raw in the studio, it would be a dead heat. As much as people love Little Feat, they are still underrated....how can you quantify perfection?
They are out on tour this year you should check out their schedule.
No one can match the layers of funk. And the dirty lowdown.
I agree that the live version is a lot more fun. They sound like they are playing at The Spanish Moon - and having a great time.
Little Feat is currently on a "Waiting for Columbus" tour to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the album. They are playing the whole album from first song to last song. Got to see them with some college friends (this was the soundtrack of our college years) in Charlotte, NC. They did play a couple of extra songs as encores. Highly recommend that you try to go if you can.
Hohner Clavinet D6 is the funky keyboard (prevalent in funk, reggae, fusion in the 70s). Anything with Stevie Wonder in the 70s. You guys should check out Higher Ground, Superstition, Too High.
Getting funky on the Clavinet!
Dig these twofer vids 👍
Think I have found a new Band to listen to. Thanks.!!
You have!
Great band, great tune, but I'm here to say...TELL EM, Lex. Maybe you should do Man Smart, Woman Smarter (Women are Smarter) by Grateful Dead 😉😄☮️
Sassy! Love it!
Great suggestion!
As great as they are, and STILL not in the Rock and Roll HOF! Its a crime.
Totally agree, but not enough radio time = not enough records sold and they were so ecclectic, it's more difficult o classify their style, but yes, an absolute travesty.
At least on Waiting for Columbus, it literally is Tower of Power providing the horn section. You can just about make out the hat-tip at the end of "Spanish Moon."
I will stand firm that the Correct Version of "Dixie Chicken" is the Waiting for Columbus version - BUT it has to have "Tripe Face Boogie" immediately after, or it's not complete. For things easier to take as individual songs, "All That You Dream," "Rock and Roll Doctor," and I think "Mercenary Territory" would be good follow-ups.
For a studio song, "Easy To Slip," hands down. Let It Roll is also an excellent album, but it's both very '80s and recorded after Lowell George died, so it has a very different flavor.
Feat has added a new drummer/singer (Tony Leoni) and guitar / singer (RIP, Paul Barré (Scott Sherard). These two new younger band mates give Little Feat a great new edge!!!
1ST! I'm definitely a fan of the FUN side!
Waiting for Columbus is one of the very best live recordings by a rock band .It has the all clear up front sound of all the instruments and vocals.. The studio albums you should check out is SAILIN' SHOES and ''Dixie Chicken'' and the first one is very good also. . They changed their sound in the mid 70s . .I like the early style the best
Two great bands
Little Feat
Tower of Power
When all the planets align you get something special like this
The "Bass Keyboard" is probably a Minimoog, much like Stevie Wonder used in his earlier days.
Lexi is lookin' GORGEOUS Nick😊 all dancin' and movin' to the groovin'!
Got to see them in Portland the tour after this was recorded. Lowell was still with us at that point. I’ve seen them many many times over the years and had the pleasure of being invited to chat for an hour or so on their tour bus several years ago by Bill Payne the keyboard player. Tower of Power was one of my go to concert bands back in the 70s. Really hope you guys start getting in to more of their music. Here are a few suggestions: You’ve Got To Funkifize”, Get Yo Feet Back On The Ground, I Got The Chop, It’s Not The Crime, Squibb Cakes which is a 7+ minute instrumental. Happy listening! Love your channel!!!
this was so hilarious to watch you both grooving and whipping the same way just like me when i listen to my little feat all day all alone in my room with my marshall woburn 3 bluetooth speaker😂 both versions of spanish moon are incredible awesome the studio as well as live... you know to play such a song like this live on stage like little feat did here in the late 70s is absolutley insane... remember this masterpiece is almost 50 years old... every time i here the feat there is nothing in music which impresses me nearly as much as this band... i love it so much❤
I’m a little late to the party, but wanted to say that I was at that concert back in 1978 and it remains the best concert I have ever seen. This was the last song of the set, and the musicians left the stage as the song wound down. Of course they came back for an encore, which started with their beautiful song Willin’. Take a listen to that one if you haven’t already!
I beg to differ, you were AT The Party!
I stand corrected! 😊
A great album!!!, an excellent made live album!!!
Few albums match, let alone exceed the quality of the music performed by this great band, Little Feat, and especially live! Hearing this band play this album live in concert from about 100 feet away from the stage, is a memory so burned into my soul, that I’m mentally and cosmically returned to the arena whenever I hear it.
Funny, you heard their studio recording first and think of it as how the tempo should be. The opposite is true for me.
Hearing the live album takes me back ...almost 50 years and a few thousand miles away now. Such wonderful music!!! The live version is always going to be my favorite! Long live the Little Feat! RIP Lowell, et al,.
Just the last song on Side 2 of WFC. Remember: It was originally released on vinyl, not CD, so considerations were in order . . .
This track (Studio & Live) has such a deep groove!
(And it WAS the Tower of Power horn section - on both recordings)
Good ear, Lex! In the live version, he yells out, "Tower of Power Horns!"
As much as I love Little Feat...Please, when you walk your Dog, give it all Your attention😍😻😎🇺🇸 Love Y'all!
You’re in the thick of it now. Little feet are the best at killer Grooves. Great idea playing the studio version and the live back to back! I think that would be a cool thing to do with some other great songs starting with the Allman Brothers in memory of Elizabeth Reed. I think you should check out Little feat again soon a song for Nick would be day at the dog races and I think Alexa would like all that you dream. Great reaction I’ll keep listening you keep reacting.
They were soo great live. One of my favorites. They didn't need theatrics or smoke machines etc. Just great music from great musicians. My favorite band when I was in high school.
I sure am digging this groove Jack !! … sorry I just fell into an early 70,s speak thang !! Love it and your reactions to it .
May I suggest Budgie - What do you want for your love ? As a guitar enthusiast you will fall in love with this I’m sure. Keep on keeping on guys 👍
Thanks for bringing up Budgie, any Budgie to get started then down the rabbit hole!
@@lbales6505 you know it sir ! 👍
Little Feat is currently touring the 50th anniversary of Waiting For Columbus. Got my tickets to see them. Others who have already seen them especially with special guests in Nashville are calling it the show of the year.
Live version. More little feat!!!!!!
I recently discovered the 1973 instrumental album

Lowell George also wrote "Willin'," covered by Linda Ronstadt.
