In 1977, Little Feat performed on German TV’s favored musical playground Rockpalast. On September 22, Eagle Rock Entertainment, through its Eagle Vision subsidiary, will release this performance on DVD, when Skin It Back: Live In Germany hits stores. [MSRP $14.98]

Filmed at the Grugahalle in Essen, this concert was shot just days before the recording of their renowned live album Waiting For Columbus. Featuring the band’s classic line-up, late vocalist/guitarist Lowell George leads the band – vocalist/guitarist Paul Barrere, vocalist/keyboardist Bill Payne, percussionist Sam Clayton, bassist Kenny Gradney, and drummer Richard Hayward – through the 11-song performance. The thirty minutes of never-before-seen alternate rehearsal versions of the songs include “Rock N Roll Doctor,” which did not make the cut for the final show.

Formed in 1969, Little Feat is a band without musical boundaries. They meld southern influences, blues and Dixie-land boogie, with R&B, folk and rock into jam band perfection. Getting their start after George left Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, the band’s blend of top-notch musicianship and earthy, organic groove made them musical staples. This is perfectly captured on the Skin It Back DVD.

Eagle Rock also released Little Feat’s High Wire Act: Live In St. Louis 2003 on DVD in November 2003, and is readying other great performances from the Rockpalast vaults, including concerts from Meat Loaf, Thin Lizzy, and UB40.

It'll be interesting to find out if the main portion of this disc[which was originally released on dvd on the Pioneer Artists label back in 2000]will be remastered or if they'll just use the master from the original release.

My guess is, it'll be the original release, but this has been floating around the bootleg circles for years so I'll pick this up without a doubt!

I have the original 2000 Pioneer release. It contains the first 11 tracks listed above with "Cold, Cold, Cold" as track 12. So it appears that the new version adds on 6 bonus tracks but omits one track from the original version. The bonus tracks I can see, but omitting that one track from the original seems rather odd.
