Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus (2LP)

Little Feat originally released Waiting for Columbus on February 10, 1978. The platinum-certified double album cemented the band's reputation as one of the premier live bands of the 1970s. When it was recorded, the group included Lowell George (vocals, guitar), Paul Barrere (guitar, vocals), Bill Payne (keyboard, vocals), Richie Hayward (drums, vocals), Sam Clayton (percussion, vocals), and Kenny Gradney (bass).

Waiting for Columbus touches on songs from all six of the studio albums Little Feat released between 1971 and 1977. The dynamic performances showcase the sextet's inimitable fusion of blues, country, jazz, and New Orleans R&B on signature tracks like "Fat Man in the Bathtub," "Oh Atlanta," and "Sailin' Shoes."

...[T]here's much to savor on Waiting for Columbus, one of the great live albums of its era, thanks to rich performances that prove Little Feat were one of the great live bands of their time.
