Lowell George

Description:

Recorded live 5 days before Lowell George's death! In June of that year, while recording "Down On The Farm" (1979), the last Little Feat album, George announced the dissolution of Little Feat. George also began touring on June 15 for his solo album, which had been released in March of the same year. In June of the same year, while recording "Down On The Farm" (1979), the last Little Feat album, George announced the dissolution of Little Feat. George also began touring on June 15 for his solo album, which had been released in March of the same year. Then, on June 29, he died of a cocaine overdose at a hotel in Arlington, Virginia, where he was touring. This is an FM broadcast recording of a performance at the Bottom Line in New York City on the sixth day of his solo tour, which resulted in only eight shows. Considering the circumstances, it is a very valuable source. The setlist is half songs from his solo album and half Foot numbers, and the performance is different from that of the Foot show.As a result, 1979 was a devil's advocate year for George. Although he had disbanded Little Feat, his last album, which was still in production at the time of his death (released in November of the same year), had not yet been released, and George had visions of a Little Feat reunion. The solo album, which was already signed in 1975, is not the music George was aiming for, as he himself stated that it was "to fund the feet activities," and the album contains many cover songs by Alan Toussaint, Ann Peebles, Rickie Lee Jones, and others, which are also performed at this live show. This momentary solo career may have been a parting of the ways. Fred Tackett, who would join the reunited Little Feat on guitar, and Don Heffington, who would play in Lone Justice in the 80s, were the drummers. The touring lineup, which also included saxophone, trumpet, and a female chorus, and the soulful sound and loose groove of the Feet songs, show a different kind of musicality.We should be thankful that only a few sound recordings of his solo activities have survived in this way. We hope you will enjoy these precious recordings.
