Little Feat: Rockpalast Live

Summary: This DVD is a 'Must Have' for anyone who knows Little Feat
Review: I just finished watching the Rockpalast DVD and was absolutely thrilled. I followed Little Feat since 1973-74 when they played in the small clubs in Dallas like Gurtie's, and Armadillo World Hqrts in Austin, and watching this DVD made me feel like I was there all over again. The quality of the video is great (given the technology of the 70's), camera angles great, the sound is enhanced mono (surround-sound), but nevertheless teriffic. The best part is seeing Lowell George playing with the group. If you are a true Little Feat fan who, like me, has listened to the band from the beginning, you need this DVD!

Summary: little feat revisited
Review: I located this video via Amazon pages, so thank you. Having been a fan of the band for years and, I think, having all thier music on disc,tape or c.d., I was delighted to have a chance to "see" them again on Tape. The reviews already on line cover various views of the content and I would agree that watching this makes you realise just how good this band was and, conversly, how poor several of the current crop are. I first saw Little Feat in London in the early 1970's and was completely blown away by the sheer drive and raw edge to Lowell's performence. He was more than ably supported by the band - particularly Bills piano/vocals and Paul and Kenny's sheer rhythm. To a degree this energy is missing from this recording. Lowell takes just too much of a back seat and, while I acknowledge the others perform superbly -(Bill particularly), I couldn't help longing for the Dixie Chicken days of the younger George, the less extravegant solos by the band and the feel that the band was thier because they wanted to perform rather than simply taking on "one more gig". That having said,as the only Little Feat video I could locate, it is a good buy and reminds me just how good they were. If anyone knows of any other available Feet videos please provide the details. In the meantime, stay Willin.

Summary: Little Feat, the greatest band that never made it!
Review: I love this band and it's great to be able to see them perform live when they were in ther prime. The quality of the picture is good and the sound is good besides the fact that the drummer's backing vocals sometimes drowned out Lowell's voice.
Besides that it's great!

Summary: Poor video and audio quality
Review: I rented this movie from Netflix.com. I would have been enraged had I bought it. Although the performance seemed to be outstanding it was marred by very poor audio and video quality. Pass this one up.

Summary: A RARE AND GREAT TREASURE
Review: I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THE PERSON WHO RENTED THIS. MY DVD COPY IS OF GREAT VIDEO QUALITY WITH VERY CLEAN CRISP AUDIO, I WAS VERY PLEASED TO FIND THIS RARE PERFORMANCE REMASTERED. WHO KNOWS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU RENT A VIDEO. BUY IT, YOU WILL LOVE IT, AND CRANK IT UP LOUD. THE COMMENTARY TRACK IS GREAT WITH THE BAND MEMBERS TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW.

Summary: Tripe Face Boogie
Review: I'm a longtime fan and to be able to have a decent DVD audio & video performance of Lowell George era Little Feat in my collection pleases me to no end. Just the glazed-eyed look on Lowell's face as he plays slide on Tripe Face Boogie is worth the money

Summary: Poor lighting!
Review: I've got the DVD and compared to the 20 other concert DVD's I own this one has the WORST film quality, but hey where else are you going to see Lowell live?

Summary: Unique document!
Review: I've seen many Rockpalast concerts on TV during the seventies and early eighties, but there are only two that I remember clearly and obviously this is one of them. What a great performance! A unique melt of (country)rock, funk and New Orleans jazz played so loose, but still so disciplined. This concert clearly shows that Litte Feat was Lowell George. Sometimes he steps back graciously in favour of Paul Barere or Bill Pain, but then the bloodrunning tension is immediately gone. Apart from that no weak moment, only highlights with 'Willin' as the absolute winner. A unique document!
