Waiting for Columbus

by Little Feat

The 3601st greatest album of all time

Waiting for Columbus, released in 1978, is a live album that captures Little Feat's blend of blues rock, country rock, southern rock and New Orleans-influenced funk. The recordings emphasize groove-driven arrangements, interlocking slide and lead guitars, prominent keyboards and tight, syncopated rhythms, showcasing the band's loose but precise interplay in extended live performances. The album is often considered a definitive live document of the classic Little Feat lineup and illustrates how their studio material translates into dynamic concert energy.
