    Lowell George died in 1979

    Little Feat - Let It Roll - 1988
    Little Feat - Representing The Mambo - 1990
    Little Feat - Shake Me Up - 1991
    Little Feat - Ain't Had Enough Fun - 1995
    Little Feat - Live From Neon Park - 1996
    Little Feat - Under The Radar - 1998
    Little Feat - Chinese Work Songs - 2000
    Little Feat - Kickin' It At The Barn - 2003

    Lowell was the rock star, Allen Tousaint was the godfather but the band is the band. See them live and they will still blow you away with mad skilz.

    Back to your Styx... I read an article about that Stafford Centre a year or so ago. I think they said they were limited to bands that would play for $15,000 or less.

    Wow, so I guess it's safe to say that Styx ain't exactly Rockin' The Paradise anymore...

    EDIT: And if they still think they are, clearly they are suffering from a Grand Illusion....

    I agree. Bill Payne, Paul Barrere, and Fred Tackett are all wonders.

    I felt the same way when Steel Dragon replaced their lead singer with Chris 'Izzy' Cole.

    The guy up top is McNulty from HBO's "The Wire".

    But they should not tour or record as "Little Feat", that's all.

    They have too much time on their hands.

    Like I said, it can't be worse than Verizon. Yes, it is smaller, but I bet the seating is much better. I saw James Brown at Verizon this summer and it was horrible.

    I'll bet Stafford Centre is a great place to see a concert.

    Too bad they never book anyone good in there. Styx is the only "non-K-HITS" band I've ever seen playing there. It's usually bands you hear on the ultra-oldies stations, like the Association and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap.

    You know, bands with members that are just months older than me... :eek: ;) :D

    Yesterday I thought I saw a commercial about a Styx CD/DVD of them performing a concert with a huge orchestra.

    Agreed, they shouldn't tour as "Little Feat." My Dad actually fed George the night before he died of a heart attack, after a show. He's a big LF fan, but doesn't feel too broken up about it -- because Lowell wasn't, *sniffsniff*, eating much that night.

    I sat front row center on the floor at Sam Houston Coliseum at Little Feat's last show in Texas before Lowell George died....New Years Eve 1978-1979.

    Lowell George was severely overweight and loaded as hell.

    The second song they played was "Fat Man in the Bathtub". When Lowell sang "throw me a line, throw me a dime", I pelted him with a handful of dimes I had in my hand. The dimes hit him in the face and chest. He barely noticed, and kept right on singing.
