Little Feat - Rock and Roll Doctor (Live In Holland 1976) 

you couldn't be more right and they are one of many that fall in that category but are very much at the top of the list. My ex-wife works at the Rock Hall I go to the job there about 8 years ago so that we could go to events we live in Cleveland and it worked out I wrote the resume she got in we went to lots of events including some rock and roll induction ceremonies. I would agree that the whole induction process and whoever votes for it and whatnot is pretty much a sham they make some good decisions on some roots of rock and roll artists and things like that who deserve it who nobody knows anything about I applaud that part of it but the people who get in before some other people for friendship and industry reasons because it's all comes out of New York and it's the decisions of a few is it travesty and embarrassing. Rock and roll is extremely important to me and to not have the votes of the musical community be the final say in this thing is unacceptable on every level. There's nobody like little George and little feet together what a group of musicians raw soul all in all the time putting their life out into it that's why people die in rock and roll because they're putting everything they got into it they should have been in the rock and roll Hall of Fame the very first day that they had come of age.

@@matthewmiller8965 My Cousin Bobby and the architectural firm he worked for designed the Rock Hall in collaboration with the late world famous Architect I.M.Pei.

R&R HoF is run by the promoters ( but they'll steal your money ) not by the best musicians

And Ten Years After. That institution is irrelevant. They let people in who don't play rock. I mean, Dolly Parton? Hello? Then all that rap. What?

Rock hall is a joke....they will never get a penny of mine...so many great bands not in...yet they will put hip hop and country artists in..F#*" the rock and roll Hall of Fame

I couldn't agree more.

And a great song writer - the whole package.

It's still a mystery to me how you can play slide with a Sears and Roebuck lawnmower wrench on your little finger!

One of the truly *great* lyric lines in rock!

I’ve been thinking about that all day today.

I tend to agree with you. I've listened to >a lot< of rock music over the years and I keep coming back to these guys. It's sad, in a way, to think that the best music in history was played by these guys and a few other rock bands and artists. I'm glad I was here for it.

As a member of that era I endorse your entire statement. Greetings from Knoxville TN.

Excellent band,thank goodness for RU-vid,huh.Lowell’s daughter is a good singer too.

Lowell made house calls all over the world, and his medicine still holds.

Living in Scotland I never got to see this amazing band live. One of my biggest regrets.

So...who was the black guy?

Great story!:)

Wow!! I had a similar experience at NYC Palladium 80s

Saw them in Birmingham, Alabama Best show I ever saw. They were practically unknown

Shmokes, columbian refreshments and heavier stuff ruined so many careers and lifes of brillant musicians and artists - so I doubt if this really is a "great" story. And maybe the concert wasn't as "brillant" as your "refreshments".

Yes sir.

Waiting for Columbus?

My favorite all time album!

"Seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel..."

"Don't you know she's cold?"@@JontheWorldsBestMediator

little compression to tighten things up. We always got digital modeling.

I'm obsessed with Little Feat.

💯

One of the greatest lyric sentences in rock…ever!

RR Doc (and others) have that effect on me too. Mind and body sort of absorb this musical magic and hold onto it until it finally wears off. Nobody else like Feat, for sure.

Same herr

Uup

Stones acknowledge the same. Idem the Doobie Brothers, who toured with Feat on numerous occassions. Bill Payne played on several Doobie albums and hits (fi China Grove)

The record companies and promoters screwed alot of musicians. Thanks for indy and the net and especially the return to live music for keeping things alive .

Zeppelin was all over the Feat. That's pretty much all they played for themselves during their '75 American tour....talent knows talent, even if the sound is very different...

Likewise. FDFMN was my introduction and I proceeded to collect every album before and after. Saw them 3 times in Austin in the late 70’s. The mold was broken.

The Rock n Roll HoF is a joke that's why

Was at the concert at Swansea football ground in June 76 with my brother and cousin..same lineup as your Celtic one..The Who were the headline act..really enjoyed SAHB, but "The Feat" blew them all away!!! Fantastic concert..miss those days!

Agree 100% RIP Lowell

That will be my new nickname.

I love the whole band but when I first saw them live, it's hard to not watch Ritchie - his drumming and expressions were priceless.

@@clafong9 I saw them in Jamaica a couple times. One night the stage was perpendicular to the beach. I stood behind the stage for a bit and got to watch Richie's solo for fat man from there. A fond memory. My wife, Lowell, Richie, Paul, I miss them all.

Bonnie Raitt, and Little Feat in their prime? That must have been an unforgettable concert!

@@321snoot It was ... and is.

@@RandomButtonPusher As an aside, I also saw Zappa many times over the years, and concur. We were very lucky back then to have so many great bands to see in concert. I'm 65 now, and cherish those memories.

CRIME.

Because Jann Wenner's an idiot.

Cheap Trick is in the R&R HOF nuf said.

Crime indeed

I have no desire to go to the R&RHOF and their arbitrary selection of inductees just makes my case. Little Feat was a "band's band" as well as fan favorite. Traffic may have had a song called Rock & Roll Stew but the style was pure Little Feat whose wicked blend of blues, R&B, funk, folk, country, and rock was the most potent rock & roll stew ever until this day.

Love Barrere's look at 3:13

Dave Updegrave I remember reading that right before the concert Paul was asking around for some coke but Jip Golsteijn (I believe) got him some very strong pot instead, Lowell wasn't too happy about that afterwards.

Ryan Harris lmao! Yes

Seriously ? No taste in good music ..

Or the "New and Improved Miracle Ear"

Don't bother. All 8 are tone deaf, which is punishment enough.

Yes. "If your phone don't ring you know it's me."

I was lucky enough to meet Paul when he, Kenny Gradney, and Fred Tackett did a little tour as Funky Feat not long before he passed away. They were just hanging out in the crowd on a break, and I shook Paul's hand and thanked him for showing up at our little venue in MA, telling him I saw Feat back in the mid-70's. He was a really nice guy and genuinely thankful for the kind words. Something I'll never forget. Thanks, Paul.

Whooo, locked in is right.

Lowell played on most of the songs on that album.

"....you know Sears & Roebuck?"

Lowell used a craftsman spark plug socket because it was heavy for a slide. He also could get a new one Sears anytime. Made a special sound.

Little Feat were easily one of the best bands of the 70's. Better late than never, Kimberly!

No other band sounded like Little Feat. One of a kind.

the best was canned heat but these guys are right there too

@@rohantherockwiththerocketh7871 No offense to Canned Heat (or to you), but the musicians in Little Feat were much better and the band way tighter. No comparison.

One night for me (mid-70's at Brown University), but a real thrill. One of my all-time favorite bands! I still listen to their recordings almost weekly.

Yep like the best parts of the Dead and Allmans fronted by a rather ambitious Jackson Browne type would be the closest...although I like your genre definition better
