In retrospect, it’s not surprising that Little Feat are on such blistering form during this 1975 WCBN broadcast, transmitted from the prestigious Orpheum Theatre in Boston on that year’s Halloween Night. Already renowned as a magnificent live act, the band had been honing their already-considerable skills to razorsharp perfection during a consecutive 5-night residency at Paul’s Mall - a smaller club in the city - immediately prior to moving to the larger, 2,500-seat Orpheum for this concert. The North American tour of which these shows were part, was in support of Little Feat’s fifth LP, ‘The Last Record Album’, released just days after this gig. Live versions of four tracks - Day Or Night, All That You Dream, Romance Dance and Long Distance Love - are featured here.
By this time, Little Feat had been together for six years. Guitarist, singer and songwriter Lowell George had been fired from Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention in 1969 for - allegedly - writing a song about drugs (Willin’). Zappa was vehemently anti-drugs. Lowell teamed up with keyboardist Bill Payne (who had auditioned for the Mothers too) and the duo recruited bassist Roy Estrada (another ex-Mother) and drummer Richie Hayward (from George’s previous band, The Factory), to form Little Feat.
The Mothers’ connection turned out to be beneficial however when Zappa, differences notwithstanding, recommended Little Feat to Warner Brothers, who signed them. The band also often used cover artist Neon Park, who had painted Zappa’s ‘Weasels Ripped My Flesh’.
