i like big generator and one b4 90125

Unfortunately, the Midnight Special would sometimes have people cut their songs to shorter versions.

yes had a few masterpieces

The 1973 version is the best by a long shot.

This was on Saturday Night Special, so it couldn't last more than 6 minutes or so to fit commercials in. This is not the best version. For the best of Little Feat, you gotta go with the "Goodbye Colombus" album. The band still plays without Lowell, and they are still a hot show.

One reason I like your podcast is your theory and other analysis of the music. You should however refrain from playing along and/or over the music especially when you don’t know the song. Kinda spoils the experience. Sorry no points on this one Doug. But I still luv ya.

A guy named Louis Clark arranged the strings section on all of ELO’s albums.

I think if you say double harmonic major one more time Fariya Faraji will come at you with a pitchfork. This song is most likely in sindhu bhairavi raga (I'm no expert).

This one is a truncated version of this song, with the 2nd verse omitted. There are concert versions that are complete with extended jams.

The Perfect storm, playing on the radio on deck while fishing swordfish.

The DX2 66 episode.

Blue Sky by Allman Brothers will be great~

While it is great to see Emmy Lou Harris and Bonnie Raitt, the sad truth is you can't hear them on this performance because I think they never turned on their microphone, or some other excuse. Had the good luck to see Little Feat, for the first time, with Lowell George at the University of New Hampshire in 1978, on the tour promoting their "Waiting For Columbus" live album. The version of "Dixie Chicken" on that album is much longer that the Midnight Special version, and segues into "Rocket In My Pocket".

Play the live album: Waiting for Columbus!

Happy Birthday Ruth Underwood!

This is pretty tame compared to a 90's reba

Most People don't listen do they

Two Trains and Fat Man In The Bathtub are must listens. Oh yeah, and Easy To Slip and another comment reminded me of Willin’

Edgar: I'm going to play all of the instruments. "You can't do that" and yet he did

I think you got it backwards. If he will be the Dixie Chicken, she'll be the Tennesee Lamb. Chicken is a reference to money (sugar daddy) and she will be his girl and all that comes from it (including sex). He falls for her, buys her a house, then she runs off with another sugar daddy. All the guys at the bar fell for the same scam at the end.

There's a Brazilian guy called Arrigo Barnabe which is kind similar to Zappa's type of music. His debut album "Clara Crocodilo" was released in the 80's and was laureated in a Tv popular music festival... You should try it....

I always thought that this tune is all New Orleans.

Its in the Key of S, and then finishes on an L mixydolian flat seventh. Subtle undertones to an E instead of E flat.... There's your Q, too bad they don't have a real G minor to A, B minor, I think, flat 6, E but its dominant, and then goes to a seventh, a half step, beautiful.

I saw this phenomenal tour 3 times, Philadelphia, nyc, denver, in madison Square garden with the full orchestral

Hello

Another great vid doug.good work. Review "mush" by leatherface. I was 19 when I played bass guitar on that record. And it was pure passion

Doug, are you aware of this following fact: Jason Newsted, bassist, was a replacement to the previously killed and decapitated Cliff Burton, a one-of-a-kind dude they loved. It was as it the band decided that no bassist would ever be as good and as loved as Cliff Burton, and, wrong as I think it is, they hazed Jason and disrespected him. They purposely low-mixed-in his bass, what a terrible decision because it lowered the quality of the music. Somebody did Jason right with the And Justice For Jason remix.

Give Frank Zappa's "Billy The Mountain" a listen.

That is a condensed version. Listen to the one on waiting for Columbus performed with the horn section from the tower of power

Time loves a hero and Spanish moon are their best songs. Fat man in the bathtub is also very good.

You've not listened to The Dixie Dregs yet, Doug. Please change that by listening to Cruise Missile by them!!!

The Let It Roll album From the early '80s is a new er incarnation of the band with a beefed-up sound I think you'll really love. Peace!

weird, fun fact...Little Feat is the loudest concert I have ever attended

I think their song Willin' is an all-time classic, but here, a performance with Bonnie and Emmylou, good gawd

The version of this song from "Waiting for Columbus" is really the definitive version of this tune. This version was missing an entire verse (We made all the hot spots - my money flowed like wine...) and a lot of fixed instrumental parts of the song; they obviously made a huge cut edit right after Sam Clayton's little percussion solo. It's interesting to see the musicians, but unfortunately this performance was really butchered for television, a lot was cut out. Typically Bill Payne does some really outstanding rag-time piano playing in the segments they edited out.

What cuts the deepest though? Aerith's theme.

Here lately I've been really getting into their song old folks boogie! Describes me perfectly 🙂

The grit, the growl, the rasp is his signature. He does that in almost everything he sings

This is an abbreviated version for TV.

Can understand if some think there is a bit of chewing resistance in this melody!

The Aurora Orchestra, Conductor Nicholas Collon with Mitch Benn (Narrator) and baritone Christopher Purves (in a pink onesie) as Greggery, performed this (orchestrated by Ali N. Askin) during the 2013 BBC Proms season. Also that night was the UK premiere of Philip Glass Symphony No. 10, and Nancarrow: Study for Player Piano No. 7

Little Feat and Blues Traveler are my favs after the Grateful Dead.

This album rocked my WORLD when it was released!

The Midnight Special often forced the musical guests tho shorten the songs.

Love Little Feat, cliche to say Waiting for Columbus is tops, but… Side 2 song run of Time Loves a Hero / Day or Night / Mercenary Territory / Spanish Moon is just perfection to my ears.

Could you stop talking over his singing please. Isn't cool.
