...a caning should also be imposed to all those who don't heed this law...all while the offender has the soles of his feet tickled by razor blades honed by a leather strop..
This was the iconic sound and tour. Everyone was at the top of their game. Lowell’s tasty vocals and chicken pickin’, Paul’s inspired guitar, Billy’s classic whorehouse piano and killer B3 swells, Kenny’s bump in the rump bass, Ritchie’s pocket drumming, Sam’s rhythmic percussion,backing vocals and side comments/grunts and then to all that add the shimmer and shine of the world class TOP horn section, also when they were at the top of their game. What an incredible arrangement and performance, truly a moment in time. I saw this lineup on this tour on “home court” at the LA Shrine Auditorium at tour’s end. I was but a dopey 18 year old kid and this event changed my life. Honestly. I was so moved, I went into the music industry and did quite well. It put me on a path that lead to an incredible journey. All because of this set, this song, these people. I’ve done many Feat shows, been to many performances since, but none like this. None. I wish I could express to these artists, as a group and individually what their creativity and craft has meant to me and my deep appreciation and respect. I’ve always heard that to have been to a Doors concert was a life changing event. I missed that by a few years, but this must have been on par.
I can understand what you say because you can feel it all just off the recording . There is not enough musicians who play on this level and being able to project their feeling to the audience. Here's another one for you also ruclips.net/video/5dARjaxkCxM/видео.html
I got to see the Doors with Moorison on 4way radical raspberry. Not one of us knew it was for 4 people but it was great. I was privileged to have hung out with Lowell many times. What a guy never saw him live just singing in the house with Danny and others
fantastic story. I was a bit too young and only latched on to the Colombus Live album later, say '79, and never fully appreciated the enormity of this phenomenal gathering of talented musicians, although fully loved the music ,of course, but the stunning collective formula including Tower of Power didn't really dawn until a few years later. What an era we lived through.
I bought 2nd album "Sailin' Shoes" because I liked the cover, I was 12-13 maybe. I shared with friends, most liked it, some didn't, it was a different take on stuff, and nobody had heard of the band or Lowell George. But ever song on that album was killer, and the next few albums were incredible too. Would have never guessed Lowell George would leave such an incredible. rich legacy. I'm glad that artwork drew me in.
The set on side 2 of disk 1 of Waiting for Columbus (Time Loves a Hero, Day or Night, Mercenary Territory, Spanish Moon) is arguably the best 19 minutes of live music ever recorded.
no fucking shit! they were beloved by every other musician in their day. BTW, they backed up Robert Palmer on "Smeaking Sally Through the Alley." they made Robert a star.
@@michaelbeck3766 They also played on Palmer's second LP "Pressure Drop"! Best album cover of the 70's! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_Drop_%28album%29
LOWELL GEORGE was God’s gift, gone too soon. So many amazing songs. The drums and bass and horns in this song are FUCKING INSANE. “There were hookers and hustlers, ...and baaaaaad cocaine”
They closed the "Spanish Moon" down in May of '21. It wasn't because of the hooker and hustlers, but due to people not wearing a mask. The CDC was too obtuse to see the impossibility of wearing a mask while you're trying to snort some "bad cocaine" up your nose.
I had never heard of Little Feat before I saw them open for The Rolling Stones in July of 1976. After hearing them play from 40 feet away, I did not want to hear The Rolling Stones play. They did, but NEVER reached the level of greatness that Little Feat reached in their first song!!! Long live Little Feat!!!
Little Feats' music is timeless. It sounds like it was written yesterday. Much like Creedence,Los Lobos, Petty, The Band,ABB. Brilliant shit. It will never sound dated. It will always sound brand new. 50 years from now, people will marvel at how fresh it sounds. I am writing this on what would've been Lowell's 77th birthday. He died the week I graduated high school. Me and my friends were just getting into LF. What an amazing band. Fuuuccckk. I never realized what a stage presence Lowell George was. One of the greatest what ifs of my life for bands. We are so lucky Zappa kicked him out of the Mothers'. Thank you Frank,for seeing that talent wasn't buried away in obscurity.
beautiful summer day, a Little Feat Day... Waiting for Columbus incredible live album second only to the Filmore east from the Allmans..those 2 records. you can live a lifetime listening and never get tired
YUP!!! Been to both shows luckily.. no it wasn't luck it was intentionally!! Toured with Little Feat on this very Waiting for Columbus tour and double drummed with Ritchie sometimes!! Yes, the only 2 record you'd ever need!
I disagree...I'd get a little bored listening to just two albums the rest of my life. Every now and then I'd like to throw on some "Blackwater" by Mofro to break up the monotony.
I'll admit. I was late to the Little feat train. Born in 1976 but really didn't find out about them until I saw a random article on my Google feed talking about how there was this band that all the big guys were fans of. And that has led me down the rabbit hole of Lowell and wow
This sounds exactly like the "Waiting for Columbus" recording and the Tower was there, London 77 I think....Best dang band ever lived...best performance of this song ever recorded to my knowledge....RIP Lowell n Ritchie..we miss you guys....
I thought the same thing. Then after watching the video a 2nd time I realized it IS the original recording. Look at how inconsistently out of sync it is. SMH
For a year or two, this was my favorite song, it was on my favorite album too, I played the heck out of it on cassette playing on my Pioneer Super Tuner, Jensen speakers that I installed on my Yamaha 1100, I was running down to the Keys on the weekends and twice up to Michigan from Miami, everywhere I went, I had this blasting and the crowds would form around my bike, I was 21 and king of the road, for awhile. Those were the days of great music, Steely Dan - Aja - Alan Parsons Project - Chuck Mangione, Feels So Good -Gerry Raferty - City to City, Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Jimmy Buffet - Son of a Son of a Sailor, Toto - Dave Mason - Jefferson Starship - 1977 and 78 were the best years for music and concerts, Led Zeppelin was making their last stuff, then the 80's showed up and it all changed, punk and new wave music was such crap compared to the bands like Little Feat and the others I grew up with. The 70's was it, the best time ever for this old guy. And man was I ever, I made the most of it. Since I had my first job at 15, almost all my money went into the best stereo hi-fi equipment I could afford because that's what it takes to really hear the music the way the bands produced it to be heard, after 45 years of upgrading my equipment, I now have by far the best 2 channel and 7.1 channel sound in my life, but unfortunately, the studios quit producing quality music in the early 90's, almost 30 since we have had a reason to run down to the music store to buy the latest, greatest song. I never thought it would end, as a teenager in the 70's, I thought it would keep getting better and better forever, just like it was for 15 years, starting with the Beatles and going through 79. It was all I heard happening my whole life from age 7 to age 22. Then, things changed and it no longer always got better every year, it got different every year for about13 years, then when I was 35, in 1992, it was like the studios flipped a switch to the off position, no more Rock music, no more Blues, even Jazz went away along with punk and New Wave. 1992 is the year Rap music began playing all the time and I couldn't figure it out at all.. After all the years of such fantastic artists, we had Grunge and Rap. I still can't believe that happened, how could it get worse than that? Well, I did when they got rid of the artists and just went with prerecord sounds and computers making sounds and putting that digital combination together to create this stuff we have now. It's not music to my ears at all. This band Little Feat still is. I can now go back and get into it all over again and it's so much better than nothing or the crap produced in basements with a laptop. I feel better now.
Thanks for your testimony and giving us some imagery from your days of yore. I'm a 25 year old who Is in love with music like this so there are some of us still in the younger generation that are connecting with it. I've made some of my closest friends from sharing love of Little Feat, Steely Dan, Jim Croce, Bob Dylan, Creedance Clearwater Revival and John Prine. Music has changed some much since the days of your youth but I am excited to hear some real musicians in this newer age like Sturgill Simpson, Marcus King, Colter Wall, Durand Jones and the Indications just to name a few. Give em a listen and see what you think!
It’s Father Time. I grew up on the same music in the same type of world. Today I barely recognize it. I’m sure my parents felt the same way. If you manage to live a long life, there is one thing I do know for sure, “The world you are born into is not the world you die in”. Thanks for the recap of my youth, miss it.
Best band ever, didn't get to see them in Richmond, had tickets and waiting for show time when the dreadful news came across XL 102 radio station. Henry McKenna had to suffice
It's mind boggling why Feat isn't in The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. One of the best American bands ever. Totally unique. And they're still boogieing in 2018! First saw them at Shippensburg State College, PA in '78 with Lowell. Have been catching them whenever I can since then. R.I.P. Lowell & Richie
I just listened to the new line up of Little Feat and Tony and Scott have certainly read energized the band - and the band will continue to sound tighter as the continue to play together, that said, you turn back and listen to the Feat from the mid 70s and you realize just how great they really were. Lightning in a bottle. Lowell George - Richie Hayward - man oh man.
Went thru 2 needles on the turntable just this album alone, was living on a lake in indiana at the time , every day after work 901s out the window & let it happen people across the lake liked it too !!!
This song has it all. Funk, rock. jazz .And the danger to enter this club. Another master piece by Little Feat. Every player is on top of their game here.Bill Payne, Lowell, Paul, Kenny, Richie and Sam where on fire. Did I see 10 thumbs down? Did these folks kill all their brain cells at a Dead concert? I saw this band in 79 at the Orpheum in Boston and they where cooking (at there peak) then as on this video. Shitty film quality, but great music.
imho Little Feat is/was vastly under rated/appreciated-- I was shocked that my husband had never heard of them, but also he is from Indiana, I am from KY & went to school in TN. He isn't that much into much anymore--me, I NEED music, it's not optional, dunno
there was a place in Chi called Alma Latina on Western avenue, drank in there at 17. I think they made this song there. Some interesting and education evenings.
Well, considering that Lowell George produced Shakedown Street, and there’s a great deal of crossover between the two bands, I’m pretty sure the dislikes were not Deadheads ✌🏼
First heard of this band when I was a senior in high school, and "Skin It Back" was being played on KZEW-FM Dallas, Tx. they actually didn't tour much then mainly staying in the studio, and because Warner Brother Records didn't quite know what to do with them, then drummer Ritchie Hayward had a motorcycle accident that landed a hospital stay in late 75, as they had come out with a touring schedule, (his hospital bills and statement is on the back of the "The Last Record Album" LP cover. Once when me and a couple of friends were walking through a park in Dallas "Spanish Moon" live version was being blasted from the sound system of this seafood restaurant across from the park. Great Tune, Great Band.
Great stuff-the live performance is immediate and rewarding. Lowell was an original! Guitar, horns, keyboard, percussion all blend into the smoothest, funkiest tune Little Feat ever did.
My Dad loved Little Feat. It took me aging into my 40’s to appreciate their genius. Holy Shit this is amazing!!! I might throw my 15 years of sobriety just to go to the Spanish Moon and drink some whiskey and try some bad cocaine.
Make that 550.. perhaps it was only recently released here! God knows I've heard this version only 10 million times on my on LP/MC and DVD! This is an incredible "live" version
Geez, what memories this song brings back. Riding around with my girlfriend in my VW bug listening to Little Feat. Oh, to be young again, where did the time go.
Frickin Awesome, I was lucky enough to see them in Atlanta with my cousin Ellie (Slugger) before he passed away. He was the one who turned me on too them in the 70s. We both love them. RIP Brother miss you
I don't know if the great Tower Of Power horn section was credited in these comments , so I'll do it: Trumpet: Greg Adams (also did the horn arrangements) and the late Mic Gillette (also played trombone) Tenor Sax: Emilio Castillo (co-founder & leader of TOP) and Lenny Pickett (currently leader of the Saturday Night Live band) Bari Sax: Stephen 'the Funky Doctor' Kupka (co-founder and still in TOP).
Forrest George ...WOW! I was there.. Warner Brothers took those two bands and also the Dobbie Brothers and put them on a tour.. Great music guaranteed..
All citizens should be required by law to listen to a minimum of one hour of Lowell George and Little Feat before proceeding on with their lives.
i'm a report you, you crazy
Lol
I knocked that out when I was about 16. I saw Little Feat w/Lowell once, 1978, before he died...
Damn
...a caning should also be imposed to all those who don't heed this law...all while the offender has the soles of his feet tickled by razor blades honed by a leather strop..
2023 - and guess what? Some of us are still loving you Little Feat , George n All Eternally yours from the great Southern Land, Australia..
This is what is called a groove. My god, the layering of sounds at the beginning of this. No one did it better.
This was the iconic sound and tour. Everyone was at the top of their game. Lowell’s tasty vocals and chicken pickin’, Paul’s inspired guitar, Billy’s classic whorehouse piano and killer B3 swells, Kenny’s bump in the rump bass, Ritchie’s pocket drumming, Sam’s rhythmic percussion,backing vocals and side comments/grunts and then to all that add the shimmer and shine of the world class TOP horn section, also when they were at the top of their game.

Unfortunately no more. It's all acoustic drudgery now. Very sad.

Spanish Moon was one of the two tunes I cranked up in my high school dorm room to get pumped up before our football ⚽️ games. Early 1980s.
The set on side 2 of disk 1 of Waiting for Columbus (Time Loves a Hero, Day or Night, Mercenary Territory, Spanish Moon) is arguably the best 19 minutes of live music ever recorded.

Agree 100%!!!
😅
Lowell was simply an amazing song writer and band leader. If this doesn’t move you then you are probably already dead, lol.
Waiting for Columbus is one of the best albums ever
LOWELL GEORGE was God’s gift, gone too soon. So many amazing songs. The drums and bass and horns in this song are FUCKING INSANE. “There were hookers and hustlers, ...and baaaaaad cocaine”

...they filled up the room, down at the Spanish Moon!...
...and if that don't kill ya, the women will...!!
I agree❤️
Funky bass line, nasty horn section, tight beat, and interesting vocals. this song has it all.
Kenny Gradney, very funky bassist. Worked with his brother Steve. Tower of Power Horn Section... AWESOME!!!
My Favorite Feat song!!
@@gnltube12 amazing what a back up band can do, feat never sounded better.
...all this song needs is Dr. John to come out magically on stage and sing a verse.
I had never heard of Little Feat before I saw them open for The Rolling Stones in July of 1976. After hearing them play from 40 feet away, I did not want to hear The Rolling Stones play. They did, but NEVER reached the level of greatness that Little Feat reached in their first song!!! Long live Little Feat!!!
😂😂😂
No one like them!!
Fabulous -underrated -Stones very overrated😂
Rolling Stones are way overrated even back in 1976. " From Everybody"
Sitting here, just turned 60. Jamming to this in September of 2022. Anyone else?
Rest In Peace Lowell, Richie Heyward and Paul Barerre. You gave us everything. Thank you!
A rhythm section like no other. A groove like no other. RIP Richie.
Feat’s don’t (ever) fail ya!
Perhaps the best(ever) Lowell George
RIP Brother

Little Feat should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. !
They are to good for that
I think since I've been listening to there music in every bar up down the city of CHICAGO I TURNED OF AGE THEY ROCK
Need to be indducked Hall of music
Yes ,Yes,Yes
"Waiting for Columbus" obviously one of the best live musical recordings EVER
To date, the BEST concert I ever saw! Kenny Gladney is probably the coolest bassist ever to play a bass!
I wish someone could explain to me why this band is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Because the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame sucks?
No hits....that one thing they base it on. The HOF is a joke anyway.
Good question
How the fuck can 12 people not like this!! The best bottom of the best band in the world..ever
Those are the 12 fans of autotune
The same people who don't like pizza
Utterly clueless people with no taste in music possibly?
Probably can't handle anything with more than 4 chords - might get confusing!
beautiful summer day, a Little Feat Day...
Waiting for Columbus incredible live album second only to the Filmore east from the Allmans..those 2 records. you can live a lifetime listening and never get tired

The best sound recorded was Lowell George and Little Feat and the Tower of Power Horns playing Spanish Moon.
I’ve made my husband listen to this song so many times and he loves it just as much as me now 😂♥️
Great underrated band
This band is something else
Should have a million views! One of best Little Feat songs. Add the TOP horns and you’ve got magic!
Should have been one of the biggest bands ever. Musicianship off the charts.
It never got any better than this. Thank god it was recorded.
R.I.P. Paul Barrere, true musician
little feat+tower of power=a force to be reckoned with
best music ever made--bring back the 70's. lowell george/bill payne/richie hayward/tower of power horns----what more could anyone ask for?
Now that's what you call a bass line. Great track.
Looks and sounds like the horn section from Tower Of Power. Little Feat is Great stuff. Thanks
Bonnie Raitt is quoted on a Lil Feat liner notes "I miss Lowell George like I miss being 9 years old'
she said eight years old :-)
Yes, she said 8 years old. And she said Little Feat, not Lowell George. I hate it when people quote stuff wrong.
Zac Payaso Right?
Emmy lou Harris too
There can only be one. RIP, Lowell.
This sounds exactly like the "Waiting for Columbus" recording and the Tower was there, London 77 I think....Best dang band ever lived...best performance of this song ever recorded to my knowledge....RIP Lowell n Ritchie..we miss you guys....

I saw them in 1976. At Charlton Athletic soccer ground, supporting The Who.
A great band.
The greatest band of all time.
Still feels fresh and powerful after all these years! Amazin’!
I’ve seen the Feat sooo many times. Why, you ask?? Cause I Love em!!! That’s why!😁👍🎸🥁🇺🇸❤️

One of the greatest rock and roll bands ever.
Favorite song ever. Recently retook #1from Dixie Chicken. Been 1-2 since 77. I was addicted to Feat. Bad. Still am. What a blessing
He was so freaking talented. Gone too soon like all the good ones.
Thirty six years ago my brother pulled out this album. Loved the FEAT ever since!
OMG ....what a time it was - our music - LOVE YOU Lowell where ever you are...
That’s Damn rock and roll at it’s best, 🎼☕️🦅🇺🇸🙏
This brings out forgotten memories of an intense, wondrous time; back in my day. 🤩
Amazing band ,this song is just one of those timeless masterpieces of pure excellence.
The depth of his groove knew no bottom.
Been to the Moon with the Feat.
They didn't fail me!
moments of pure perfection IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS
Now this is what music is all about
Just listen to this bad ass song

It doesn't get any better than this. Sonic quality is excellent...wish the picture was as crisp...the playing is right on

First heard of this band when I was a senior in high school, and "Skin It Back" was being played on KZEW-FM Dallas, Tx. they actually didn't tour much then mainly staying in the studio, and because Warner Brother Records didn't quite know what to do with them, then drummer Ritchie Hayward had a motorcycle accident that landed a hospital stay in late 75, as they had come out with a touring schedule, (his hospital bills and statement is on the back of the "The Last Record Album" LP cover. Once when me and a couple of friends were walking through a park in Dallas "Spanish Moon" live version was being blasted from the sound system of this seafood restaurant across from the park. Great Tune, Great Band.
I always thought it was a shame they were on WB, because they didn't know what to do with a lot of their artists.
It must have been 30 years on since I last heard this song. Thank you Andy Wright !
My God, they were incredible.
awesome song, this is real music played by excellent musicians
Great stuff-the live performance is immediate and rewarding. Lowell was an original! Guitar, horns, keyboard, percussion all blend into the smoothest, funkiest tune Little Feat ever did.
Outstanding
waiting for Columbus - best live album ever!
They don't get any bettet
its up there

Definitely top Two!
the horns man...the horns so powerful. Miss you Lowell.
My Dad loved Little Feat. It took me aging into my 40’s to appreciate their genius. Holy Shit this is amazing!!!
I might throw my 15 years of sobriety just to go to the Spanish Moon and drink some whiskey and try some bad cocaine.
Damn thats great!!! No one make music like that anymore
nobody else made it like this then either
check out. Tower of Power. They’re all in their 60s and are still a kick ass band live. Their horn section is legendary.
SO FANTASTIC! Best band on the planet with Mr. George. Love this song. So lucky to have loved them since the beginning.
Lenny Picket on sax awesome
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night singing this song
Live jam sessions are the best
Make that 550.. perhaps it was only recently released here! God knows I've heard this version only 10 million times on my on LP/MC and DVD! This is an incredible "live" version
Chills. Every damn time. Richie going off the stage. Just chills.
Boy this gets me @ time.
Spanish Moon! Brings back alot of memories of my late Bro " walk em all Jack. Nice touch with The Tower of Power Horn Section.
best performance of one of the best songs ever written
Hey maybe the video didn’t match the music,I don’t give a hot damn. As long as the Feat is playing! Best damn live blues rock album ever!
best and talented group ever. And they had a keen sense of humor
Geez, what memories this song brings back. Riding around with my girlfriend in my VW bug listening to Little Feat. Oh, to be young again, where did the time go.
This song has such a FUNKY groove!
RIP Lowell, Ritchie, and Paul. Thank You.
One of the all time greats
Frickin Awesome, I was lucky enough to see them in Atlanta with my cousin Ellie (Slugger) before he passed away. He was the one who turned me on too them in the 70s. We both love them. RIP Brother miss you
Awesome!!! Managed to miss the so many times...
Classic.. Great Times, Great Memories...
One of their excellent live performances
I think I saw them about 15 times- never disappointed.
Thats some bassist-
I think I was at this show, too.
Bill Datz damn are you lucky!!!
Lowell’s Father was a hollywood furrier so he come from money but sounded like he neede every crumb singing for his supper one of the greats .
This band was so awesome, I repeat awesome, tight musical funky, yeah...
one of my all time favs!!
Tower Of Power Horn Section!
I don't know if the great Tower Of Power horn section was credited in these comments , so I'll do it:
Trumpet: Greg Adams (also did the horn arrangements) and the late Mic Gillette (also played trombone)
Tenor Sax: Emilio Castillo (co-founder & leader of TOP) and Lenny Pickett (currently leader of the Saturday Night Live band)
Bari Sax: Stephen 'the Funky Doctor' Kupka (co-founder and still in TOP).
The clip is from the August 3, 1977 performance at the Rainbow Theatre, in London, UK.
Waiting For Columbus version dubbed over.
I came looking for another version, kinda sad. But, the WforC version is totally badass. One of my favorite songs of all time.
Forrest George ...WOW! I was there.. Warner Brothers took those two bands and also the Dobbie Brothers and put them on a tour.. Great music guaranteed..
@@MrPastrymaker exactly right
Jerry Garcia's favorite band!
great vocals and so funky drumming.
