    I attended the Tribute Concert to Lowell George on August 4th, 1979 at the Forum in Los Angeles . Little Feat performed as as well as Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstadt, Nicolette Larson, Emmy Lou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Michael McDonald, JD Souther, and Tower of Power…I’ll never forget that Concert…RIP Lowell George!

    Lowell George's slide playing on Rocket In My Pocket is just burning with soul. He's in good condition for this show and he's singing really well. Lowell George was the greatest artist and Little Feat the greatest band to emerge from Southern California during this period. The Eagles, Poco, Flying Burrito bros and of course Gram Parsons got more attention. Little Feat operated in their own space. They were in a genre of "one", all on their own. Thankfully the fan base was strong enough to keep them going. Just some of the great music of the 20th century.

      Speaking of slide, I heard Lyle George mention that he used to Sears socket wrench of a particular size for his slide playing. I immediately drove over to the Sears store and bought said item. And here’s where the magic starts. I had the same exact size requirements as Mr. George did. I was only 17 years old but I felt anointed in someway. I still have that socket wrench, and due to arthritis. I’ve switched over to composition, production, and lap, steel playing.

      I'm 69, and when this was being broadcast in 1977 I loved all of these artists. However, I never stayed up for Midnight Special when I was 23 years old, as a newly married man with my rockin' days in the past, trying to make my way forward in my work life. Starting abruptly in Sept 1976, when I started public school music teaching, I slept when I could. Then along came our kids in the 1980s. Thank goodness I now have CZcams so I can see what I missed!

    I”ve been a “Dead Head” all my life; but i’ve harbored a secret to this day: Little Feat is my favorite, my soul, my core. Drove to Montana 40 years ago (in my 74 Volkswagen Super Beetle, never to return) listening to Little Feat every moment of the way. Nothing else would do - goes with the scenery 🏔️. My sweet landlord in SLC had just turned me on to them - made me mixed cassettes of everything published at the time - changed my life forever. First music i ever downloaded to a smart phone too. Now live in a Seniors only building, with a bunch of retired ol’ Bitterrooters. Break The Feat out, on my portable speaker, at every BBQ - raises eyebrows every time - & inadvertent grooving. Old Folks Boogie 😊

They did three encores before Van Morrison politely insisted the audience give up on another and get his concert started. People didn't want Little Feat to stop. They were an incredible band.

Little Feat must be one of the best bands ever to back Emmylou, they are so underrated as musicians.

      I don’t think you did. There’s great music and great drugs and beer right now in 2021. How we source our music has changed and it isn’t on the usual radio channels. It’s on Bandcamp, Soundcloud and on steaming services like Tidal, Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz (none of which give as much to the artists as Bandcamp does) but it’s out there. From The Comet is Coming to Weyes Blood, via DakhaBrakha, My Brightest Diamond, Joan as Policewoman, John Grant, Boubacar Traore, Dakh Daughters, Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah and thousands more. Open a Bandcamp account, select the types of music you like and dive in.

    Guess I'll add that I've seen Little Feat three times, twice in Houston, Texas at the old, and now razed, Music Hall and once at the Paramount Theater on Congress Ave. in Austin, Texas. What a great, great band. I also saw Weather Report in '77 at the same Paramount in Austin. Saw Bonnie Raitt twice, also at the Music Hall. Saw Emmylou Harris twice. Both times at Gilley's in Pasadena, Texas. I'm pretty sure that I also saw Jesse Winchester at Gilley's, but memory fades.
    But mainly I wanted to say that when Bonnie Raitt sings the Karla Bonoff penned song "Home" it is just...well, words fail to convey my feelings completely when Bonnie sings this song. This was a great live take. Thanks for posting!

      Their slide styles are so similar it's an EZ conclusion to jump to however William Weiler is probably closest. It seems like once you hear and see this style and get the right tuning and practice for endless hours and get your guitar just right and get the electronics dialed in this slide style is the one you shoot for. I'm somewhere along that continuum still trying to get the tone right.The tone that Lowell George and Ry Cooder ended up with come the closest for me.
