Mazzy loves Little Feat!


 

If you don’t (yet), her’s a primer on this great American musical institution:

While I’m at it, here’s another. Well, 3/4th’s American anyway; Nick Lowe is English. Little Village (just a coincidence ;-) live is one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. One of the few "Super Groups" (John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner) who in my book actually lives up to that title. Their single album was a disappointment, they were better as a group on John Hiatt’s fantastic Bring The Family album. Here they are on The Tonight Show, the only time I can remember in which the musical guest is given the time to perform two songs:

I saw them a couple of times at Winterland in San Francisco, including that one opening for ELO that Mazzy was also at. Great band, Little Feat! 

@bigtwin - I think they wouldn't be essentially the same performance as Little Feat was a 'jam band' and had instrumental excursions during songs that varied with every show, like the Grateful Dead. Set list might be similar, but those shows will sound different.

I loved Blue Cheer's version of 'Summertime Blues'; it was a big hit single in the DC area - it was the first version of it that I ever heard, and still my favorite.
