Little Feat rocks DAR Constitution Hall, returning to city of landmark live album

In 1977, Little Feat recorded its landmark “Waiting for Columbus” live album in D.C. ... Now, the band returns to play the album in full at DAR Constitution Hall on April 16.

“It’s thought of as one of the best live albums of all time,” founding keyboardist Bill Payne told WTOP. “It’s the 45th anniversary of ‘Waiting for Columbus,’ which was recorded in D.C. … We’re gonna play that record in its entirety. I think there’s 17 songs on the original recording. We’re going to jam, so it won’t be a replication, but we’ll do it in order.”

The album was recorded live over four shows at London’s Rainbow Theatre on Aug. 1-4, then three shows at George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium on Aug. 8–10.

“To any and all fans out there that were there for the original incarnation of this record, definitely come back and see and hear what’s going on,” Payne said. “For those of you who have not caught this tour and are hearing good things, come hear it for yourself.”

2. Wrote and sung ,Willin', one of my....

all-time favorites.

Well if you give me weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be movin'.

I smuggled smokes and folks from Mexico
been burned by the sun everytime I go to Mexico...............

I must have sung that song a thousand times if I've sung it once.... and it always brings a smile to my face.
People would ask "me who wrote that song"?
and I'd reply, "Lowell George, by George".

3. Little Feat. Most underrated band in history.

In my unbiased opinion, anyway.

Why they were never in Super Group territory I'll never know.
