1976: LITTLE FEAT BEAK POSITIVE

“Beak Positive – On Tour In The Mother Country” The album notes say “Recorded on stage September 1975 at Wembly [sic] Stadium”.

[ While CSN&Y together with Joni Mitchell & The Band played Wembley Stadium in September of 1974 and Rufus, Joe Walsh, the Eagles, the Beach Boys and Elton John did so on June 21 ’75, I’m pretty sure Little Feat never did. Also, isn’t there a bit of a difference between “Mother Country” – which would be the USA and Wembley Stadium, London, UK? They did tour Europe in January of ’75 as part of the ‘Warner Brothers Tour 1975’ though, so who knows where this is really from. The performance quality is quite high apparently. ]

wolfgangsvault.com writes: “This concert, when Little Feat was opening for Electric Light Orchestra, remains one of their most legendary performances. Broadcast live on KSAN radio, parts of this performance were immediately bootlegged to vinyl and rapidly began circulating under various titles, the most common being “Rampant Syncopatio” and “Chinese Bejeezus,” titles rumored to have been supplied by Lowell George himself.”

“Booted on the “Wheeling and Dealing” boot LP by Excitable Recordworks, which is a copy of TAKRL’s “Aurora Backseat” (the LP sounds better than Gold Standard’s “Icepick Eldorado” boot CD). “Chineeze Beejezus” got it all mixed up with other stuff.“

From a review: “For a Little Feat fan, this is paradise. First the sound quality on this is top of the line. Perfect soundboard quality with a small audience for ambience. The band was playing much tighter in ’74 than they were by ’77 and Waiting for Columbus. Lowell George is especially on fire here. And the setlist couldn’t be more “classic” Feat. The entire B side is 10/10 with amazing versions of Fat Man and Willin’ to close. One of the best half-dozen bootlegs in my extensive boot collection.”
