Little Feat

In July 1977, Little Feat was riding a wave of creativity and critical acclaim, having just released their album 'Time Loves a Hero' earlier that year. This live performance of "Day at the Dog Races" showcases the band's unique blend of rock, blues, and Southern California funk, which was coming into full bloom during this period. Interestingly, 'Time Loves a Hero' marked a turning point for the band, as it was one of their first albums to enjoy significant radio airplay, thanks to its catchy tunes and solid musicianship. This live recording at Grugahalle in Essen, Germany, captures the band's energy and spontaneity, something that devoted fans loved. The laid-back yet intricately layered sound really reflects their ongoing evolution as they found their footing on the world stage. Little Feat's performances from this era are not just concerts; they’re vivid musical journeys.
