Hot take: Representing the Mambo

It’s one of my favorite records of theirs, and that tour was fantastic. Yes it’s weird. Experimental for them. But outside the singles, it’s an excellent record.

So Little Feat's final stop on their final tour is in my hometown. In a small venue. Has anyone seen them live on this final tour? If so, what was your opinion?

A signed set list from Ken Gradney. His niece by marriage asked for a photo, my hubby said “I can’t take that pic but she can” and then she asked “are yall going to fest tomorrow?” We said “oh yea” she suggested we see little feat (the whole reason we came to New Orleans was to see them!) so we said that was always the plan. Turns out we met his family, cousins, wife (celebrating 52 years!) and sister! Super nice guy, very kind group.

1981 touring question

I recall that in 1981 (could have been 1980 but I don't think so), a band opening for the Rossington-Collins Band (ex-Lynyrd Skynyrd band) was billed as (I think) "Barrere Gradney Hayward Payne" or similar.

I didn't care for Rossington-Collins but I was into Little Feat and of course was interested, so I bought a ticket. But the event was cancelled the day of the show - I seem to recall that someone in Rossington-Collins was ill or something - so I didn't get to see this.

I never again heard of this billing. Did anyone here see this touring band or hear about it?

In case you missed it, Little Feat’s set at the New Orleans JazzFest is being broadcast live on WWOZ .

Today at 6:30ET WWOZ.org

FYI - Irma Thomas is up just before that …

Anyone tuning in? Little Feat have a long history with the Festival. Should be a barn burner.
