Little Feat in 1976 at San Fran's Winterland doing Allen Toussaint's On Your Way Down:  |
From Wolfgang's Concert Vault:
This concert, when Little Feat was opening for Electric Light Orchestra, remains one of their most legendary performances. Broadcast live on KSAN radio, parts of this performance were immediately bootlegged to vinyl and rapidly began circulating under various titles, the most common being "Rampant Syncopatio" and "Chinese Bejeezus," titles rumored to have been supplied by Lowell George himself.
It's no wonder that this performance became so popular, as it captures the band at the peak of the "Lowell George era," promoting the release of The Last Record Album. This album signaled the emergence of jazzier elements being incorporated into the bands sound, as well as stronger contributions from guitarist Paul Barrere and keyboardist Bill Payne, which added greater diversity to the group’s material. - concert summary
Johnnykmusic note: Allen Toussaint will play Sunday Brunch at Joe's Pub in NYC on 6/28 and 7/5. Lowell George is currently dead and not touring with Little Feat, rendering them, while not bad, not really Little Feat.
