Brilliant band with this original lineup. Interesting that Lowell has a Super Reverb facing him and what appears to be a Champ or a Princeton behind him.

"Waiting for Columbus" has been in heavy rotation lately on my Spotify. Love me some Little Feat.

When the Tower of Power horn section kicks in on Waiting for Columbus, it's the perfect match!
This song never got any airplay but it's my favorite from the album:

LF is one only a few bands that still in my listening rotation after all these years.
My taste has changed over the years but a few bands still are at the top of my list.
Little Feat
A Bros
Ry Cooder
L Ronstadt

Downloaded Rad Gumbo for the flight back home and really loved the early stuff compared with my all time fav Waiting for Columbus. They aged well.

Isn't this a song about a "john" trying to solicit his favorite prostitute but she is "out of order" due to her painful period (i.e. menses) referred to here as the "fat man in the bathtub with the blues?"
Great band. Got to see them three times. Once with Lowell. Still listen to a lot of their stuff.

This post could have been from me - my position exactly.
Edited because I forgot to mention that the show I saw with Lowell was the famous (in Feat circles) Halloween show from 1975. Tremendous - live music doesn't get much better. There was a 2-CD set of this show released several years ago, and you can still buy it for crazy money. I wish I'd bought it when it was reasonably priced.

Loved that band. Almost saw them with Lowell but had to call out sick at the last minute. Then I saw them a few times post-Lowell and they were still great, but damn I'd have loved to see that guy. Great writer, singer, player - he had it all going on, but couldn't keep himself alive...
Roll Um Easy has become one of my favorite songs to play and sing on acoustic. Kinda tired of Willin. Most of their other stuff is too funky for me. I mean, I love it, but I can't play it worth a damn...

I've always loved the phrasing of his vocal lines in fat man.... and the groove..

The Subdudes do an excellent job of tapping into that special "Little Feat Vibe.
They are together intermittently, but I'd like to get to see them...
(Their rhythm section is basically a well-played tambourine.)

We still put Willin' in our acoustic set some 40 odd years later. We also used to do All That You Dream. Might have to resurrect that one.
