Gimme an F.....E.....A.....T - Just enjoyed a far too long time comin' evening with Little Feat. I'm ashamed to say it's been the early 90's since I last caught a Feat show. No excuse for that. I remember the last show I saw being a real blast and this one I enjoyed even more. Absence definitely makes the musical appreciation grow fonder. Some nice long improvised jams in this one that won't disappoint. Nice cover of The Band here. Also I must give a heartfelt tip o' de cap to Feat as they worked "Abba Zabba" into the middle of the "Fat Man" jam to honor the not honored nearly enough Captain Beefheart (RIP Don).

A couple odd observations/occurrences of the night -

#1 - This same night Feat was playing The Neighborhood Theatre, Sean Lennon's band, The Ghost Of A Sabre Tooth Tiger, was playing 50 yards away at The Evening Muse. As I pulled into town before the show I noticed that Feat was traveling in two nice looking tour busses. Simultaneously, across the street, I saw the son of a Beatle unloading his own gear from the stereotypical starving musician white van. I will quickly defend Sean Lennon in any arguments centered around privilege and posturing. That was quite surreal.

#2 - Also by coincidence the PA music between the opening band and Little Feat's set was The Beatles' "Abbey Road". Weird listening to John Lennon sing when you know John Lennon's son is singing close enough away to hit him with a rock.

#3 - The keys and guitars lost power twice during the show for very short (<1 min) periods of time. 

#4 - At the end of "Fat Man" Bill accidentally hit what sounded to be one of those canned disco keyboard rhythm tracks for a sec. Pretty funny. 

#5 - As I left Charlotte with, I'm guessing, Little Feat nestled snugly on their busses I see Sean Lennon standing out front of The Evening Muse holding his guitar case and having a smoke in 16 degree weather. 

Good show here folks. Y'all enjoy.
