Decades after the fact, many Little Feat fans are still mourning the death of founding member and guiding light Lowell George. But this beautifully filmed and recorded concert proves that this is still a superior, distinctly (if not quite as distinctive as before) American rock band. Little Feat, who reformed some eight years after George died in '79, acknowledges his influence by continuing to perform much of the material they recorded during his era, including several of his best-known songs (like "Tripe Face Boogie," "Fat Man in the Bathtub," and the countrified classic "Willin'"). But the now-seven-piece group (five members have been around for over three decades) can stand on its own, with guitarist Paul Barrere, pianist Bill Payne, and singer Shaun Murphy handling most of the vocal duties. The fans clearly love 'em, and why not? Playing for well over two hours, including encores, they certainly don't skimp, churning out a heady brew of funky, rhythmically-diverse, blues-based fare. A 15-minute documentary rounds out the DVD. --Sam Graham

Product Description

Little Feat's seven-member powerhouse line-up continues to carry the band's thirty-plus year tradition on in fine style, both as a hugely popular live act and in the recording arena. Time has loved these musical heroes for more than three decades now, as have countless fellow musicians, many of whom they've collaborated with over the years - both individually and as a group-including Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Beck, Brian Wilson, Robert Plant, and Johnny Lang. With an immensely rich legacy, and a fresh and inspired band of musicians continuing to create exciting new material, Little Feat will no doubt be sailin' into the future with no end in sight.

This live DVD, which was recorded in August 2003 in St. Louis, is the band's FIRST EVER LIVE PERFORMANCE SHOT IN HI-DEFINITION TECHNOLOGY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!! It's about time!!, December 23, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Feat - High Wire Act Live in St. Louis 2003 (DVD)

This release is something I have been waiting for a long time and I am certainly not disappointed. Having the "Rockpalast" show is an amazing representation of the Lowell-era band, but I have longed for a live DVD of the Feat in it's most excellent current form. This was a very good show for the Featsters who were in fine form this night in St. Louis and I think the DVD package is well done for the most part (I especially enjoyed the interview section but a band commentary would have been nice). There are always certain favorites you wish could have been included in the show ("Sailin' Shoes", etc.) but I thought the setlist provided a great mix of all periods in the band's history. Little Feat is that rare band from the 70's that is still relevant today due to their hard work, excellent musicianship, no fear of following trends, and continuing curiosity in espanding themselves musically. Many younger fans are thankfully becoming aware of what a treasure Little Feat is and just how much influence they have had on many of the current faves (Phish, Widespread, etc.) It's great to see them finally issue this as it will certainly make many Feat fans very happy! Hoy Hoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, February 22, 2004

Johnny Hodges (Clark Fork, ID United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Little Feat - High Wire Act Live in St. Louis 2003 (DVD)

This was not a great Little Feat performance. They seem a little off compared to the last live show I saw. While they are tight and strong as always, the spark that would ignite a truly explosive set is missing. The crowd is having fun, but they're not over the top excited, like the crowd I saw go nuts when they performed in my area a couple of years ago. Then there is the botched sound job. You can hear the instruments sharp and clear in the surround sound mix, but the vocals are pushed way to the back. If you listen to the stereo mix, the vocals move forward but the instumentation does not sound crisp. Be advised that (on the copy I rented at least) the Audio Setup menu has the DTS and stereo mix entries reversed; ie, if you ask for the DTS mix you get stereo and vice versa. Personally, I prefer just listening to "Under the Radar".

4.0 out of 5 stars Great to see the Feat, December 12, 2003

This review is from: Little Feat - High Wire Act Live in St. Louis 2003 (DVD)

First of all it is great to see The Feat live on DVD. The DVD is good. I wouldn't call it exceptional. The camera work (in my opinion) was not that good. At times (many times), the person working the camera failed to capture the person taking the solo. It was live, so we must show the audience. But, do we have to show them so often? When I view this DVD, I am listening to the audio portion is stereo, not 5.1 surround sound. In the stereo mix, Paul's solos are often times way in the back. Thay are there, but one must really strain to hear the solos. Where is "Voices on the Wind"? The sond is listed on the DVD credits, but it doesn't appear on the DVD. I am a fan of the Feat, so I am pleased to see this. I thought it could have been better.
