Description
It’s fitting that Little Feat is on the road this summer as the group celebrates the upcoming 45th anniversary of Waiting For Columbus, one of the greatest live albums ever made. Released in 1978, the live double album featured memorable performances of songs (“Dixie Chicken,” “Willin’” and “Time Loves A Hero”) that spanned the group’s fantastic career.

To make the album, Little Feat (backed by the Tower of Power horn section) recorded several shows in the U.K. and U.S. during the band’s 1977 summer tour. Rhino will include three of those performances, which have never been released, in a new boxed set for the album’s 45th anniversary. The unreleased concerts were recorded in Manchester at Manchester City Hall (7/29/77), London at The Rainbow (8/2/77), and Washington D.C. at Lisner Auditorium (8/10/77).

WAITING FOR COLUMBUS: SUPER DELUXE EDITION is an 8-CD boxed set that will be released on July 29. It includes a newly remastered version of the original double album on CD and three unreleased concerts.

Little Feat originally released Waiting For Columbus on February 10, 1978. The platinum-certified double album cemented the band’s reputation as one of the premier live bands of the 1970s. When it was recorded, the group included: Lowell George (vocals, guitar), Paul Barrere (guitar, vocals), Bill Payne (keyboard, vocals), Richie Hayward (drums, vocals), Sam Clayton (percussion, vocals), and Kenny Gradney (bass).

Waiting For Columbus touches on songs from all six of the studio albums Little Feat released between 1971 and 1977. The dynamic performances showcase the sextet’s inimitable fusion of blues, country, jazz, and New Orleans R&B on signature tracks like “Fat Man In The Bathtub,” “Oh Atlanta,” and “Sailin’ Shoes.”

WAITING FOR COLUMBUS: SUPER DELUXE EDITION is the definitive edition of this classic. It includes unreleased live versions of songs that appeared on the original (“Rocket In My Pocket” and “Spanish Moon”), along with several that didn’t, like “Cold, Cold, Cold,” “Rock And Roll Doctor,” “Skin It Back” and a cover of Allen Toussaint’s “On Your Way Down.”

One of the greatest live albums and bands ever.

I have the deluxe edition and original vinyl, so I’m good.

Too much repetition here and I’d never play it more than once, but I love this band and how the shit have they never gotten into the stupid rock Hall???

Preordered. This looks spectacular. Canadian Amazon price is very reasonable too, it works out to $80.21 U.S.

We now have a more detailed description and tracklist in the first post. It's the original album remastered, plus three additional concerts, for a full and complete view of Little Feat live in that era.

I know of LF but know nothing about them. Any greatest hits worth getting? Or is this live disc the way to go?

Not very many comps out there.

The 2 CD remaster of this album is a perfect introduction.

The Warner Years box or the 4 disc box Hotcakes & Outtakes are excellent if you want to go big time.

The only comp I’d recommend is The Best of Little Feat from 2006.

Looks to be very similar packaging to the Joni Mitchell Archives series.
