Little Feat

In June 1978, when Little Feat performed live at the Paramount Theatre in Portland, they were riding a wave of critical acclaim following the release of their album 'Waiting for Columbus' just a few months earlier in August. This studio album showcased the band’s blend of rock, blues, and funk and truly captured their live energy, setting the stage for their iconic performances. Interestingly, 'Waiting for Columbus' was lauded for its seamless integration of live and studio tracks, making it somewhat of a seminal recording for the band. The live recording at the Paramount also featured tracks like 'Skin It Back' and 'Fat Man in the Bathtub,' staples of their live repertoire that highlight their energetic stage presence. This concert is a vivid reflection of a transformative time for Little Feat, as they expanded their fan base and solidified their reputation as a must-see live act.
