@jafant: 8 CD’s?! Those musta been a coupla damn long concerts (the original 2-LP album is drawn from two live shows) Little Feat played! I’ll be looking for this boxset, thanks.
The evolution of this band is interesting to me. Lowell George was not at all interested in the Jazz Fusion direction in which Bill Payne and Paul Barrere were attempting to take the band, a sentiment with which I can empathize. Little Feat are best remembered by Lowell’s songwriting, which I first became aware of when hearing "I’m Willin’" on Seatrain’s s/t album. A great song done by many, but their version remains my favorite. You never forget your first? ;-)
