Post by springparrot »

We drove to Springfield, IL during Spring Break to see Little Feat.
They really pulled some older songs from their catelog and it was a great show!!!!

Craig Fuller was also the singer in Little Feat when they got back together in the '80s. I think Let It Roll was the first CD he was on.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

Let it Roll was indeed Craig's first album with The Feat. And Shaun was battling a cold both at House of Blues in Chicago and in Springfield. She did struggle but still sounded great...it helped having Craig there to sing a couple with the band.

To anyone who has not seen Little Feat in concert.........do yourself a favor and get tickets the next time they are anywhere nearby.

They are the true definition of a jam band........heck, Billy Payne alone is worth the price of admission! But everyone in the group is very talented.

You will not be disappointed! :pirate:

I saw them two weeks ago. They kicked a$$. I picked up Bill Payne's solo cd, very nice. They are a great jam band.
I make it a point to listen to Feats @ Five every Sunday. It is my chill music after dropping the keets off to their mother.

Them Feat will steer you wrong sometimes :o

I saw them in Northampton, Mass. I was given tickets for Valentines Day. It is always fun to see the age spread at events like Feat!

I agree on the cd. It is on the list of mellow listening after a hard day at work. I remember the first time I listened to License to Chill. I said to myself, "that sounds like Billy Payne on the piano". He has such an amazing style, very talented.
