Outstanding, Gnu, I'm glad I saw them at Newcastle City Hall (UK) in 1979. I shall now put lots of LF on my MP3 player.

Lowell George studied at the Ravi Shankar school of music in Los Angeles in the Seventies.
He was enamored of Indian classical music.

I remember Lowell when he was with Captain Beefheart.... now that was some interesting stuff. I was glad when some of his songs were covered by Name artists after his death. eg 'Dixie Chicken' by Garth Brooks. I prefered the original, but Mr.Brooks helped to put a lot of $ toward Lowell's estate.

Wow. I've never seen Little Feat perform, although I was a HUGE fan of theirs in the late 70's. Thanks for this link. What they did was as good as it gets...

Paul Barrere & Fred Tackett did a live acoustic record. It is Relix 2115, released in 2001. Not hard to find on eBay, usually low priced.

Myself and Gareth Turner had a jolly in the 'states a while back and went to see them in Phoenix. They were smoking good. Looking forward to Trowbridge. They are not a museum piece in any way shape or form. They play a balanced set of the old material and current songs as well as some great covers. They are joined by guests at almost every gig they play and are held in very high regard by many musicians. This is a rare treat.

Dang that was something good. I wish the ladies' vocal track had been mixed louder, though. They sure look like they sound sweet, eh?

The Barrere/Tackett combo also has a DVD, which I have, not bad at all. What does anyone think of the 80's early 90's lineup with Craig Fuller?

I liked the band with Fuller and Tackett, although nobody could match the white soul of Lowell's voice. For a California boy, he sure had that N'orleans sound didn't he? Probably my favorite rock n roll singer of all time.

Lowell George was a pretty fair slide guitar player, as well as singer and song writer. On Milke Auldridge's "Blues and Bluegrass" (1974?) he joins Mike (dobro) and David Bromberg (slide acoustic guitar) by playing slide electric. There is only one number and it's called "Everybody Slides", but it was a revalation at the time.

Its funny, just before this thread started I was playing Waiting For Columbus and berating myself for not playing Little Feat more, they were so awesome. On that record I love the transition from Dixie Chicken to Tripe Face Boogie.
