MUSIC NEWS - Back in 1977, Little Feat performed on German TV’s top music show, Rockpalast. And now, on September 22, Eagle Rock Entertainment, through its Eagle Vision, will release this performance on DVD, when Skin It Back: Live In Germany arrives in stores (or order below thru MNN) .
Filmed at the Grugahalle in Essen, the concert was shot just days before the recording of their renowned live album Waiting For Columbus and features the band’s classic line-up, late vocalist/guitarist Lowell George, vocalist/guitarist Paul Barrere, vocalist/keyboardist Bill Payne, percussionist Sam Clayton, bassist Kenny Gradney, and drummer Richard Hayward in an 11-song performance (track list below). Also on the dvd are thirty minutes of never-before-seen alternate rehearsal versions of the songs include “Rock N Roll Doctor,” which didn't make the cut for the final show.
Formed in 1969, Little Feat is a band without musical boundaries. With southern influences, blues and Dixie-land boogie, R&B, folk and rock mashed up 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. In 2009, the band is still going strong, having released Join the Band
Eagle Rock also released Little Feat’s High Wire Act: Live In St. Louis 2003 on DVD in November 2003.
