Little Feat Tribute Concert at The Forum - Performance Highlights
In the wake of Lowell George's passing in June 1979, Little Feat held a heartwarming benefit concert at The Forum in Los Angeles on August 4, 1979, to support his family. This emotional gathering featured not only Little Feat but also heavyweights like Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, and Bonnie Raitt, highlighting the camaraderie within the music community. Before this tribute, the band had released 'Dixie Chicken' in 1973 and continued to evolve their sound through the '70s with albums like 'Feats Don't Fail Me Now' and 'The Last Record Album.' By 1979, they were in a period of transition, reflecting the loss of their beloved frontman, which undoubtedly colored their performance that night. The concert became a landmark event, showcasing not only Little Feat's musical prowess but also a poignant testament to friendship and unity in the face of tragedy.
