Verrah nice. I'm downloading some vintage Little Feat right now. I hope the quality is there (it's pretty old...)
Thanks!!

Unfortunately I can't crank it up here in the office, but I just played Two Trains from the '73 Little Feat. Sounds great.

I downloaded the 1973 Little Feat. Haven't listened to it yet. Hopefully the quality is tolerable.
Leo Kottke/Mike Gordon, some Mule, the bluegrass mega-thing (Fleck, Bush, Douglas), and a few others. Warren Haynes and Susan Tedeschi singing 'Hard to Handle' with Phil Lesh's crew ain't bad at all.
I think it's possible that at some point, I've seen every name in this post, in some incarnation or another.
Mostly at the Blues Festival, but other places, as well. The Blues Festival that's in a couple of weeks...booyah. I think I've got the Neville Brothers down as my "go-to" this year.

Unfortunately I never saw them with Lowell. I saw the reconstituted version in Vegas around '98 or '97 with the BB King Blues Tour or something like that. Anyway it was Dr. John, BB King and Little Feat. There was some woman singer with LF. They were still a great group of players, but you could tell that there was a huge hole there that nobody could fill.
Too bad.

Getting the Bluegrass Sessions now. Big fan of Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas and that crowd. I may check out the Victor Wooten dl. A better bass player was never born.

Seems like I see an ad for a Flecktones show about every other month. Gets around.

They come to this area usually about once a year.
Plus in the past couple of years there was Fleck with Stanley Clarke and Jean-Luc Ponty and Fleck with Edgar Meyer (Music for Two). I saw that show...amazing performance by two musicians with no peers.

lossless (FLAC) format as well as MP3, etc.

The main problem with that site is that there's too much there. There are a few artists...Little Feat, The Flecktones, String Cheese Incident, etc....who I know are worth listening to. But otherwise how do you decide which ones are worth checking out? The word of mouth thing is always good.

Seen both of them live, too...
The latter at the recommendation of a
certain poster here.

Sweet find! Have you heard about that Yahoo site yet? It's pretty badass.

I'd say Sam's memory is starting to fail.
We went over this, oh... maybe 3 years ago, when you posted the showtime and I told you they sounded pretty good on that little tiny stage, playing to about 2 dozen people. Going up against a Crazy 8's reunion on the Main Stage wasn't the best scheduling for Delta Moon.
