yorks5stringer Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) A random conversation at work with someone regarding Nearly Dan who I saw on Sunday night ( there are other SD tribute bands available) led me to finding out Little Feat are touring and playing the Holmfirth Picturedrome on July 7th although this gig is not listed on the LF site. Our singer lives in Holmfirth so she's getting me 2 tickets...am really excited as I haven't seen them since the 70's and Lowell George. Love those Kenny Gradney basslines but definitely a band IMHO whose whole was much greater than their individual parts. I noticed Mick Fleetwood is on at the Picturedrome too.....

Mickeyboro Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Having seen them both with Lowell and without, I'm Surprised to say I preferred the latter! It was the 'Columbus' album gig at the Rainbow. He fell out with the others bigtime and they jazz-funked him off stage. Horn section could not be heard. But they fixed it in the mix. Saw them with Craig Fuller (and Bonnie Raitt guesting) in 88 or was it 89, and more recently with Shaun Murphy. The only drawback - a 15-minute Dixie Chicken!

Dr.Dave Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Blue Oyster Cult too Saw them on my 18th birthday. Underated by miles - I'll make one in for that and def. for Mick Fleetwood's band. Anybody could turn up in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I jammed with Ritchie Haywood of LF once, when he was in Monmouth working with Robert Plant. Nice guy, GREAT time, even better moustache! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born 2B Mild Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for the tip off. I hope to go. I just looked at [url="http://www.picturedrome.net/music_events.htm"]http://www.picturedrome.net/music_events.htm[/url] and whoever is booking the artists, has taste!

molan Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I've seen them a few times, both with Lowell George and without. I loved Lowell's playing but the new band is still a great night out. The Picturedrome is a great venue, only been there once when we happened to be in Yorkshire for the weekend. Really nice atmosphere & much smaller than anywhere I've ever seen the Feat. Sounds like a good night looming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see LF in a small venue though. They used to be *so* funky, great to hear they still are :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
