Little Feat - Transmission Impossible (2016) [FLAC]

Source .................. CD
Genre ................... rock, southern rock
Codec ................... FLAC
Bit Depth ............... 16 bits
Sampling Rate ........... 44.1 kHz
With an influence as far reaching still as their musical eclecticism was during the band's golden era, Little Feat remain one of the very finest American groups of the 1970s. And while their classic LPs from that time remain essential, it was during their live shows that they transcended mere excellence and took proceedings to somewhere quite extraordinary, if not supernatural.
This delightful triple disc set captures perfectly the mighty Feat doing exactly what they did best, when they were doing it best. Featuring three complete FM radio broadcast recordings from the years 1973, 1974 and 1975 respectively, during which the true nature of this legendary act, nay institution, is revealed in dynamic performance and magnificent audio quality, this collection will surely become a fixed asset in the collections of fans the world across.
The first disc here includes the group's performance at the intimate Ebbets Field venue in Denver Colorado, recorded on 19th July 1973, just a few months after the release of Dixie Chicken, arguably Little Feat's most cherished album. Next up comes the 1974 in-studio recording they made for transmission at New York's Ultrasound Studios on 19th September that year, shortly after Feats Don't Fail Me Now came out, another LP among those in the know. Finally, the set concludes with one of the most famous gigs they ever performed, the 1975 Halloween show from Boston's majestic Orpheum Theatre, a recording made a month before The Last Record Album was issued.
