Little Feat

The live performance of 'Join the Band' at Lisner Auditorium on August 10, 1977, captures a pivotal moment in Little Feat's career, right around the time they were releasing their acclaimed album 'Feats Don't Fail Me Now.' This album, released just months earlier in 1974, further solidified their distinctive blend of rock, country, jazz, and blues—a sound that set them apart from their contemporaries. Interestingly, this live recording came just before their landmark live album 'Waiting for Columbus,' which would drop in 1978 and is often hailed as one of the best live albums of all time. This reflects a dynamic era for the band, marked by both experimentation and their burgeoning reputation for electrifying performances. It’s fun to think how this performance might have set the stage for the iconic live sound captured in 'Waiting for Columbus,' showcasing the energy and chemistry that made Little Feat such a beloved band.
