voodoobassman Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 To those who appreciate great music and some killer bass lines, I've just received my latest Sage newsletter and see that my all time favourites, American legendary band Little Feat are on at the Sage in Gateshead on May 11th. Should NOT be missed. Quote

Happy Jack Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Saw them in London last year - they've still got it. Only disappointment was that they used [i]Dixie Chicken[/i] as an extended "meet the band" routine near the end of the show and it sucked ... big time! Quote

wotnwhy Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Saw them in WOMAD festival last year. I had not heard of them before. Truly superb! Quote

yorks5stringer Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Saw them last year in Holmfirth and met most of them prior to the gig: unfortunately they don't do a lot of the classic material and persist with "Don't Bogarde that Joint" which I found just plain lame. I wonder when Lowell George will rejoin them.....? Having seen the original band twice in the 70's, I'm going to stick with my memories even though this line up is still better than most bands out there today!

BigBeefChief Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Would love to see them, but it just wouldn't be the same without Lowell George I think. Now that man is a legend. Underated as well I reckon. Might see if I can get tickets for a London date though. Quote
The Bass Doc Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I'm going to try to see them in Gateshead. I'd love someone to introduce them by saying "Let's have a big hand for Little Feat". Quote
yorks5stringer Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I remember going to my prospective parents in law and saying "we have something to tell you and it's to do with Little Feat".LOL We were going to Manchester to see them , also the Doobies? and Montrose were on too. Warners brought 6 bands over and mixed and matched the lineups: never forget that Tower of Power were on the other lineup..... Quote

I remember that tour - caught them at the Rainbow in Finsbury. Y'know what? I didn't get it. I was more into Cheap Trick & AC/DC at the time. Ahhh ... I was only young. Gimme a break. Quote
