Readers' Poll: The 10 Best Live Albums of All Time
Selections include 'The Last Waltz,' 'Live Bullet' and 'Live at Leeds'7. Little Feat - 'Waiting for Columbus'
Little Feat is one of those bands that can't be fully appreciated until you see them live. It's no surprise that their 1978 live disc Waiting for Columbus is the most beloved album in their vast catalog. Taped on their 1977 world tour, the double LP features extended arrangements of "Dixie Chicken," "Tripe Face Boogie" and other Little Feat standards. The Tower of Power horn section was playing with the band at the time, and their presence greatly enhances the material. Little Feat never became true household names like many of their peers, but anyone who spends time with this album will be quickly converted. On Halloween of 2010, Phish played the album straight through in Atlantic City, and then the next year Little Feat themselves performed it.
