I never got a chance to see them with Lowell George but I did get to see their first show back without him. It took them a long time to recover. Understandably.
They opened for the Grateful Dead at the Oxford Plains Speedway, July 3, 1988. If you can get a copy of the show, get it! Both bands! Ramrod and crew dosed the hell out of everyone on stage that day. Da Feat were awesome. Phil did the MC bit and said something like, “We’d like to welcome back some good friends of ours who have been away far too long. Give a big welcome to Little Feat.”
It’s worth the search to find a copy. And out of my 250 -300 dead shows from 1968 on it’s numero uno on my list. And I was at five of the first seventeen Dick’s Picks.
Lowell George singing and strumming Willin’ will always be in my top 100.

It’s so easy to slip
It’s so easy to fall
And let your memory drift
And do nothin’ at all
All the love that you missed
All the people that you can’t recall
Do they really exist at all?
Well my whole world seems so cold today
All the magics’s gone away
And our time together melts away
Like the sad melody I play
Well I don’t want to drift forever
In the shadow of your leaving me
So I’ll light another cigarette
And try to remember to forget
It’s so easy to slip
It’s so easy to fall
And let your memory drift
And do nothin’ at all
All the love that you missed
All the people that you can’t recall
Do they really exist at all?

But I don’t think one exists.
Just hum it to yourselves. 🙂
