Here's a classic Austin City Limits show with the (then) newly reformed Little Feat. This is from the late 1980's. I wasn't at the taping of this show, but my wife and I saw them in Austin a day later when they played the legendary (now-closed) Austin Opry House. I remember well, the crowd was on their feet dancing' the whole show... some were dancing' on the theater seating, too!

BTW: I disagree with the poster's comment about Little Feat as one of the best unknown bands in history. Anyone that loved progressive rock music during the 70's knows who Little Feat is. 46 years after their start and, still no band rocks harder than "The Feat". Can I get an amen? 
Keep on picking'!
Glenn

Wow, coincidence. I just showed my buddy yesterday the video for Texas Twister, one of the great late period Feat rockers. Amen squared! Will never forget was playing a casino lounge in about '96 and The Feat were playing the main room. Richie Hayward was checking us out during their break. I was very much tickled.

I just discovered, I linked to the wrong YouTube on this post.
Here's the correct 'Tube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XVoO7XWj78
All hardcore 'Feat fans are aware that Little Feat demoed songs for other artists. Among these was Robert Palmer. In fact Lowell George played guitar and contributed his song, "Sailin' Shoes" to Palmer's 1974 album Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley, and the whole band played on his 1976 album Pressure Drop. But here's something else I recently discovered; The whole band, less Richie Hayward played on jazz drummer, Chico Hamilton's 1973 album, The Master. Also about this album, Paul Barrere wrote the song "One Day Five Months Ago", and Paul Barrere and Kenny Gradney wrote the song "Feels Good".
From The Master, here's "One Day Five Months Ago"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzZgLJ9Tybo
and "Feels Good"

Keep on pickin'

| Lowell was a fine slide guitarist and songwriter... he also "produced" Shakedown Street for the Grateful Dead, AKA the "disco Dead" album. Their first album for Arista, Terrapin Station, was produced by Keith Olsen, who acted all producery - show up on time, be in tune, try it again, etc. Lowell was a lot more fun... |

The story goes that Linda Ronstadt showed up in Austin but her band didn't and the opening band, Little Feat, backed her up.
Too bad!
I must say, I met them at One World Theater in Austin, gave Sam chair massages.
Very nice folks, laid back, friendly; meeting Bill was a thrill.

Cool, Joachim.
The video is great; what other band could tribute Rhapsody in Blue on an ending?

Linda wasn't booked at the Armadillo for that gig. It was a Little Feat gig, and Linda was dating Lowell at the time and just sat in with LF. I was backstage that night.
Since I had worked in her band in '68, she'd contact me when she hit Austin. I played with her one night in '73 at the 'Dillo with both of us sitting in with Commander Cody. I have a video somewhere of that night... we were soooo young!
