LITTLE FEAT "ST. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE～WINTERLAND ARENA BROADCAST, SAN FRANCISCO 1976" ⓒ 2015 Sutra Sutra SUCD101 Origin Unknown A live recording broadcast from Little Feat's peak period, the "DIXIE CHICKEN" era, at Winterland in San Francisco on February 14, 1976, as the opening act for ELO. Starting with a slow, New Orleans-flavored version of ①, followed by "SKIN IT BACK," which features Bill Payne's tropical keyboard sounds contrasting with a heavy, thumping groove, "ON YOUR WAY DOWN" by Allen Toussaint, the classic "COLD, COLD, COLD," "DIXIE CHICKEN," and more. This is a performance where you can only surrender to the deep groove and Lowell's slide guitar, which is hard to describe as either "earthy" or "sophisticated." A deep performance with the scent of New Orleans funk. ① A Apolitical Blues 3:29 ② Skin It Back 5:25 ③ Fat Man In The Bathtub 5:33 ④ One Love Stand 4:16 ⑤ Rock & Roll Doctor 5:14 ⑥ On Your Way Down 7:23 ⑦ All That You Dream 5:05 ⑧ Cold, Cold, Cold 6:03 ⑨ Dixie Chicken 8:22 ⑩ Tripe Face Boogie 7:39 ⑪ Willin' 5:08 ⑫ Teenage Nervous Breakdown 4:18 Guitar, Vo. – Lowell George Guitar, Vo. – Paul Barrere Keyboards, Vo. – Bill Payne Bass – Kenny Gradney Drums, Vo. – Richie Hayward Perc., Vo. – Sam Clayton FM Broadcast, Winterland Ballroom, SF, 2/14/76 There are no scratches on the disc.
