Thumbs up if you think Little Feat should be in the Rock and Roll HOF. Put aside the fact that the HOF is a POS, but LF needs to be recognized as one of rock music's greatest bands.
I have visited the HOF and registered my vote for their induction, and persuaded a number of people to do likewise. There are hundreds of crap acts already enshrined that would be blown off the stage by the Feat. A travesty.
Such a stunning piece of music. Its absurd how obscure this lp remains. NO BAND in California could touch these guys back then. They blew away The Eagles, Poco and all the rest on every level. George's songs were so much more creative and lyrically sophisticated than the rest of the California scene at that time. Richie Hayward was one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock and roll. Folks miss Gram Parsons and I get that. But I miss Lowell George even more. It was a terrible loss. Nonetheless, while he was here he burned brighter than a magnesium candle and left behind a trove of amazing, uniquely American music. I saw them twice in NYC supporting Feats Dont Fail. Lucky me!
Great comment. I remember seeing articles in music magazines heaping all kinds of praise on bands like Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynrd, Ozark Mt. Daredevils, and some others, and I'd always think, ok, these are bands whose work I can appreciate, BUT, if you're simultaneously staying nearly silent about such rarely seen high artistry as that of Lowell George & Little Feat, there's a serious deficiency in your ability to pay attention to music, and culture in general.
I put the blame on Warner Brothers Records! They chose to promote acts like the Doobie Brothers and Tower of Power, both bands associated with Little Feat, and they had the hits while Feats were left in limbo/cult band status... Too bad there's no "Rewind" button to hit!
Never understood why they were not more commercially successful. I heard music as a child and grew up in the 70s, so all the good stuff and I consider Feat to be right up there with the best.
When you watch Little Feat play, look at Lowell's and Richie's facial expressions when they are deeply in the groove/soul of the music -- big, wide beautiful smiles. Their deeply happy place. Probably a place they couldn't access in real life. RIP, you brilliant men. Thanks for taking me to my happy place since I was 19.

Easy to slip is a magical song which certainly could turn anyone into a Little Feat fan!! Lowell George was a treasure and incomparable in so many ways.
Doesn’t really matter if little feet isn’t in the Hall of Fame people that know them know their probably the best band that America has ever produced and I say that because theBand was 4/5 Canadian
I'm here because I'm reading Ted's book. Yes, this should have been a hit. It's a shame the Little Feat isn't recognized as a top tier band of the 1970's.
I'm embarrassed to say I'm 60 years old and just found this amazing song through a cover by The Black Crowes! It's great, and as a guitar player it's nice to hear a clean guitar chiming through at the end. Too cool! I have only one album by Little Feat called 'Representing the Mambo', that came out long after Lowell George passed, (1987?) but it's a really good record, and the guitar playing on it is genius.
Heard that BC cover… thought they were better than what they laid down. Somebody here said though, that tryin’ to cover Lil’ Feat is somethin’ close to impossible. Again however, BC shouldn’t have released their version - they tried to to copy too close it seemed… and boy did they ever miss.
Those songs were so densely packed with brilliant playing, lyrics, and singing. I've been in bands that tried to cover them. Very often, it was impossible.
no doubt. i think it’s mainly the drumming being so unorthodox. and then the rhythms matching those unorthodox beats. Little Feat it by far one of the most interesting and complicated bands to ever grace our ears.

Yeah, that song and "Trouble." They're both so exhilarating musically that it's easy to overlook the pain inside those lyrics. I can only imagine how many more great songs he'd have written if he'd been with us for the past 40+ years.
Ain't that the truth! Richie Hayward. One of the greatest drummers in the whole dang history of R&R. He was one of those guys whose power simply could not be captured on a recording. You had to see them live to really understand how intense he was. In performance he elevated the band to a whole 'nother level.
Awesome. Listen to that beat being shifted around. This is the album that Mick and Keith had on heavy rotation during downtime on the Stones '72 US Tour. It's the greatest Stones album the Stones never made!

In the group photo at 1:59 all you can see of Richie is his hand on his wife Pam's waist. Pam is the blonde at the far right. Elizabeth George is in the white shirt standing next to Lowell. Bill Payne and his wife Fran Tate are on the ground behind and next to the older woman in the chair. This is possibly 1975 because Lowell wore the black sweater all during that tour. Also, the woman with her arm wrapped around Kenny Gradney is not Josje, whom Kenny married in 1976 (I believe).
I played waiting for columbus so much i had to buy another one...many years later I got all the studio stuff....still, to this day they speak to me....
Saw the Feat live shortly before LG passed away. Special band they were for sure. This is probably my favorite song of theirs, depending upon which week you ask me ;) There's just a lot of really cool, sometimes subtle, little things going on here, beyond the great harmonies in the voices, that guitar solo, lyrics, and and just that groove. Like the harmonic at 2:07 , the organ comping at from 2:12-2:50 and in particular 2:12-2:18 (bringing back the line introduced in the intro) and 2:43-2:50 , the kick drum hanging with the bass throughout much of the tune. This is a well constructed tune. If you ain't movin' some part of your body to it, take your ON button in for a service checkup;)
Slide guitar solo at 1:20 says everything you need to know about Lowell George. Beautifully understated yet powerfully driven across with pathos, fury and melancholy..unrecognized by the masses back in the day but the heartbeat of life for the rest of us...
@@thomascavender1344 Saw both in 1976 and even though I didn't know any Little Feat music at the time LF blew me away..... unlike the Eagles who I merely enjoyed
I remember being a kid in overalls in the third row and the rest were all college age students all preppy. They opened with this and sang it to me. Life has been a dream to me.
A guitarist friend of mine once was perusin the RR HOF. He looked at the Hendrix stuff, and the Beatles stuff and lots of the other stuff. He turned a corner and in a glass case under lights, he saw a wood grain Strat on a stand with an 11/16 socket next to it. He told me that was the only time during his RR HOF walkthru that he had to stop and catch his breath. GET LF INTO THE HALL FOR REAL.
The HoF has no criteria. Great bands; like Feat, Los Lobos and The Doobs should have been inducted before crap bands that Jan Werner and his little clic celebrated. How can Rap music be in the Rock n Roll HoF? That is why it is not valid.
As a tale, this song stings us all. I love it's hope, it's mighty heart. What a terrible tragedy Lowell left so soon. A beautiful man and a hot hot player. What is that saying... only the good.....
"Waiting for Columbus" is probably one of the finest live albums out there - ever. Period. Little Feat remains a largely unappreciated group that should've gone down in the annals of rock history as one of the preeminent and influential bands of the 70's.
Just exceptional the best there, was, 6Kisell George n Little, Feat the best ever band musically! The Band n The Allman Bros n later The Amazing Rythm Aces were great bands but it was Lowell George n that great vocal that separated them, x! And his great songwriting with his Co songwriter Billy Payne! Best modern day music ever
Like many a tune that's become a part of my playlist, I came across this gem via the Grateful Dead and their many side projects (this particular one from Bobby and the Midnights). When I first heard this song live by Bob Weir I immediately searched out the original. They're both great but I wish I could have seen Little Feat perform it.
Very cool. I saw Feat on their last American tour in 1978 - Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA - at least the last Lowell-Feat tour. Was a kid then, but remember it as being one of the best live shows I've ever seen!
I was at Lowell's last concert- (Lisner Auditorium- D.C.) It blew me away when I read of his death the next day. I'm honored to have seen him and the band.
There's a great little article on Lowell George at Blues Guitar Insider titled simply, "Lowell George". It has a few embedded videos, and one of them includes the interview in Germany in which he talks about his slide technique ("...Craftsman 11/16 socket, ja?"). That snippet appears on the Hoy-Hoy! album.
Been a fan since '72 when I saw them open for either Elton John or Rod Stewart, can't remember which that far back. Have the "Sailin' Shoes" album on vinyl. This one, "Dixie Chicken" and "Feats Don't Fail Me Now" helped me survive college. Great memories!
thanks for posting / 1st classic on classic lp/ I loved this since getting the lp in 72 / I loved little feat since4 the early 70s ;Lowell George my fave slide player with ry cooder / saw them in London in 70s / feel so close to this
They have so many I had to list top five. In fact, Waiting for Columbus is filled with their greatest stuff. The later years in the late 80's with Craig Fuller and Shawn Murphy were great too. These days; Bill Payne tours with the Doobies! I had seen this band 8 times. I'm a die hard fan.
Thanks Forrest...i really love this song!! What a band!!Lowell was the whip man.Luckily i got to see them 3 times...once in Westbury...revolving stage...so cool.

Absolutely.
Yeah , but first Lady GaGa and Jay-Z need to be inducted . 😏😒

I have visited the HOF and registered my vote for their induction, and persuaded a number of people to do likewise. There are hundreds of crap acts already enshrined that would be blown off the stage by the Feat. A travesty.
Such a stunning piece of music. Its absurd how obscure this lp remains. NO BAND in California could touch these guys back then. They blew away The Eagles, Poco and all the rest on every level.

Absolutely. No CA band in the 70s came close to Little Feat.
Great comment. I remember seeing articles in music magazines heaping all kinds of praise on bands like Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynrd, Ozark Mt.

Thanks so much- this is more than a great song, its an 70's anthem.
Love everything from the Feat
Anyone who listens to Little Feat knows that not being in the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame is an unforgivable omission.
One of my Favorite songs from a great great band lubs me da feat.
LOVE the Feat, but this is my all time FAVORITE!!
Mine too. Such an amazing song.
Yup!
They have so many I had to list top five. In fact, Waiting for Columbus is filled with their greatest stuff. The later years in the late 80's with Craig Fuller and Shawn Murphy were great too. These days; Bill Payne tours with the Doobies! I had seen this band 8 times. I'm a die hard fan.
all their tunes had an upside; my favorite is what we call "the anthem'- rock'nroll doctor
Bonnie Raitt backing vocals I believe. Killer syncopated opening as well. Great song !
My favourite band ever, well them or Free. It's such a cool song. The late, great Sandy Denny does a great version of this one.
I will have to check out the Sandy Denny version - thanks for the input!

Featus, don't fail us now! They never did!
Thanks Forrest...i really love this song!! What a band!!Lowell was the whip man.Luckily i got to see them 3 times...once in Westbury...revolving stage...so cool.
I saw them on a revolving stage sitting in the first row seat in Valley Forge Pa. The unique building was demolished for a stinkin parking lot.
Amazing song.
Genius. Genius song. Sandy's version is amazing too.
This is more alt country much before that genre was conceived. Awesome country blues song
Mostly disagree. It's not that you're 100% wrong (both remarks), just that those characterizations obscure more than they illuminate.
