Aren't they great?

We need a Little Feat appreciation thread on BC. So here it is.

Get involved.

[Beedster]

I'm in, my main influence as long as I can remember. So many good tracks but Fatman in the Bathtub always a fave.

[colgraff]

I thought this was a follow-on to the little hands thread.

[Happy Jack]

Saw them 40 years ago. They were great.

Saw them five years ago. They were dreadful.

One day I'll get Dixie Chicken right.

[Mickeyboro]

Saw them with Lowell, them Craig Fuller, then Shaun Murphy fronting.

Fuller show was the best! (Helped by Bonnie Raitt guesting...)

They're ace.they are.

i think that the Little Feat 'Sound' owed so much to the bass playing timing of Kenny Gradney. Lowell George,, I remember, commented this himself. Interesting what happened to the original bassist. Always loved them. That mix of rhythm and melody. There is a kinda hesitancy in the rhythm/bass. Lowell for me though..

Great band. Did you know that Archive.com has a load of their shows for free legal download? Including the Electrif Lycanthrope shows... https://archive.org/details/LittleFeat?and[]=year%3A%221974%22

I've got most of the records. Used to play Willing in a band a few years ago.

Love this one. . .

Saw them at Manchester Free Trade Hall, 1977 / 8?
Grooved like a groovy thing.....

[Jazzneck]

I'm in,

Seen a fair few times in their various guises.

Do a few of their numbers on a good night with the right audience.

But I like this too......

LOVE them. I have 8 of their albums. First discovered them when I heard Gov't Mule covering 'On Your Way Down'

[chris_b]

I saw them with Craig Fuller and with Shaun Murphy.

Even the bits that weren't great were better than most bands can achieve.

Richie Hayward was the best rock drummer. . . . . ever.

[DiceSociety]

Great stuff. Ideal groove for those slightly hungover Sunday mornings.

Like the way happy Jacks avatar seems to be in sync too! (Or perhaps I drunk more than I thought I had last night).

[JapanAxe]

To my shame, Little Feat are a band I have thus far overlooked.

[Dan Dare]

I almost envy you, JapanAxe. Many treats in store.

[Paul S]

I need to listen to more of them, I think. We were going to do this in one band but, in the end, decided that our backing vocals didn't come up to scratch...

I will never tire of watching/ listening to that clip. Absolute brilliance!

[Kirky]

Only heard them in passing really, but they're going to be my Spotify listening of choice on the bus this week.

Great band. Country Soul Blues Rock with more than a hint of New Orleans Funk Boogie. Richie Hayward was a beast.
