STL Fan Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Saw them last Friday night in St. Louis. Good show, but not as good (or as long) as previous shows and included lots of sound problems which is unusual. As for song, I hate to state the obvious, but there's a reason "Oh Atlanta" was a huge hit for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controller Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I saw Little Feat in 1976 when Lowell was still alive - one of the best shows I've ever seen. I can listen to the entire Waiting for Columbus LP over and over and never get tired of it. The Tower of Power horn section added the icing on the cake; LF was awesome. No way I could pick just one song, but among my favorites are Oh Atlanta, Fat Man in the Bathtub, Dixie Chicken, Willin, Old Folks Boogie, Teenage Nervous Breakdown, Day at the Dog Races and Tripe Face Boogie.

Kid Cid Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Fat Man in a Bathtub but as the days go on I can relate to Old Folks Boogie more and more. Interesting side note, Lowell George is yet another super talented musician to get his career started with Frank Zappa. He actually brought the song Dixie Chicken to Frank for possible use with the Mothers but Frank told him that it wasn't the kind of material that they were doing. So he left Frank and formed Little Feat and the rest as they say, was history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank didn't allow any drug songs. Screwing, whoring, genital parts all ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
