The concert makes its Blu-ray debut this fall
In 2003, longtime musical legends Little Feat presented a career-spanning set at The Pageant in St. Louis, MO. Their first live performance to be captured in high definition, the concert was an extraordinary celebration of their 30+ year career.
Mercury Studios is proud to feature the concert as a 2 CD/Blu-ray set and digital video when Little Feat: Highwire Act In St. Louis is released on November 3rd. Previously issued on DVD in 2004, this marks a digital upgrade for the concert film, as it’s being made available on Blu-ray for the very first time. This is also the first time the 2 CD portion is being bundled with the video and the concert available on digital video.
Originally founded by Lowell George (formerly of Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention) and keyboardist/vocalist Bill Payne, Little Feat was an incredibly unique collective. Organically blending blues, rock, country, folk, and soul into southern-brewed fusion, their funky yet impeccable musicianship led to such classics as “Dixie Chicken,” “Willin’,” “Oh, Atlanta,” and “Fat Man In The Bathtub.” Sadly, Little Feat went on hiatus with the passing of George in 1979, but their legacy reignited when the band resurfaced in the late ‘80s.
Little Feat: Highwire Act In St. Louis features the line-up of Payne, Paul Barrere on guitars and vocals, Sam Clayton and Shaun Murphy on percussion and vocals, Kenny Gradney on bass, Richie Hayward on drums and vocals, and Fred Tackett on guitars and trumpet. Running at over 134 minutes, the set includes the full concert and a bonus 11-minute documentary, Little Feat Close Up In St. Louis, in which the band members ruminate on the band’s history and their story up to that present time.
