Product Description
From Amazon.com
This 1978 live album remains a serious contender for one of the best live rock albums ever etched, standing toe to toe with live classics from the Band, Allman Brothers, and the Who. Recorded during concerts in London and Washington, D.C., Waiting for Columbus vividly captures the L.A. sextet at a crossroads between its swampy mid-'70s fusion of blues, country, and New Orleans R&B, and the more eclectic jazz accents introduced later in the decade. If the late Lowell George's influence had diminished in the studio, his presence dominates here in rowdy, righteous vocals, the mercurial tang of his indelible slide guitar, and a set-list laced with his songs. While still riveting in its initial, abridged CD release, this remastered two-disc edition expands and resequences the songs into a full concert set, with encore. Two deleted tracks are further augmented by 10 additional performances to make this a definitive edition of a classic album that really will "boogie your speakers away." --Sam Sutherland
Product Description
Few rock concert documents can match this 1978 live album for sheer musicianship, or for its full-blooded representation of one of the best live bands ever. Little Feat's turbulent '70s pilgrimage had been studded with commercial detours when its second incarnation as a swampy, blues-rock sextet clicked musically, and these English and American dates, beautifully recorded by George Massenburg, capture the band in all its rowdy, precise glory. The late Lowell George's influence had been damped down in the studio, deferring to his bandmates' writing and singing, but Columbus is dominated by his gruff, lyrical vocal presence and the mercurial tang of his indelible slide guitar. With the Tower of Power Horns aboard to inject razor-sharp horn work, this romp through the Feat songbook of southern-fried rock represents a satisfying summation of the band's best works, every bit as engaging as their studio models. This is simmering, smart music measured by an honor roll of great songs with no lapses. The only caveat--and a minor one--is the deletion of two tracks to squeeze the original two LPs onto a single CD. --Sam Sutherland

Warning - Not the same content as the album version,
By Thomas H. Smith (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Waiting for Columbus (Audio CD)
Great to have on CD, but as one of the earlier conversions WB Records wanted to squeeze the original 2-LP set onto a single CD. To do this they eliminated a couple of songs, including the a capella masterpiece "Don't Bogart That Joint", and also annoyingly faded out many of the songs before they reached their original live ending. I also suspect the recording quality doesn't match the audiophile LP issue.

Now that I have my copy it's ok to tell the world what a Great lp this is! Mofi knocked it out of the park with this one. If you love Little Feat and are into vinyl you owe it to yourself to get this version! Highly recommended! Also read the review @ this site. [...]

One of the Best,
By Jeff Johnson (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Waiting for Columbus-Deluxe.. (Audio CD)
Short reviewOne of the best live albums ever. Brings out the spark that was Little Feat with Lowell George. Shows off the great talent of all the people in this band. This is one of those rare times when everything was right. Adding the horns, Tower of Power, not a bad bunch of guys temselves, simply make this a clinic in how to put a live spin on great studio songs and make something new out of it. A required listen if you think you like Rock, the blues, Jazz, Boogie country. It's all here. Enjoy.
