- Featroller Review, Historic Edition:

Here it is, the dawn of the Second Coming, Little Feat 2.0, rolled out for the public on a riverboat the
night before Jazzfest. The vibe is fantastic! It sounds like a decade's worth of pent-up music is bursting
out of the guys almost faster than they can control it. By current standards every track is short but
blistering.

Even better, Bonnie Raitt doesn't just appear, she joins the band. They do two of Bonnie's best songs –
Richie and Kenny and Sam are at their funky best on Leave Home – and she wields a wicked slide guitar.
And it's fitting, because to my ears anyway Bonnie sounds more like Lowell than any other slide player.
On Your Way Down is gorgeous, with Craig and Bonnie trading vocals, as is Dixie Chicken. Jimmy Buffett
and Ed Bradley are onstage for the latter songs but they're pretty hard to hear (which is probably a
good thing in Ed's case). Bonnie again shares vocals and slide on a wonderful Rock & Roll Dr. I saw an
article asking various musicians what's the one song they can't imagine living without, and for Bonnie it
R&RDr.

The recording is somewhat less than pristine. But it captures the atmosphere extremely well, with the
drunkenly enthused featfans singing along at full throttle. This may be the only audience recording where
I don't much mind the crowd chatter. It gives you a feeling of what it must've been like to be one of the
lucky few that night, afloat on the Mississippi River and an ocean of booze and the rebirth of America's
greatest rock 'n roll band.
