13 Nov 2013: it's... 1975

This Leon Russell song wins the award for the "Song mostly likely performed and produced by Muppets" category

Haha, I can see  the flamingos and monkeys climbing on his piano now.

BOS Wings Rock Show -- overplayed though it may be, still sounds good to me.
Would have preferred Magneto and Titanium Man, but way to much to hope for I guess...

You and me both -- I begged AL for "M&TM" to no avail.  It has been played on the Drive's 10@10 a few times.

BOS for the Feat.

+1.  Listening to Little Feat helped me get through the Great Music Drought of the late '70s.  (grin)

BTW, dischead, on your recommendation, I acquired a copy of the 801 Live.  I quite like it...

Lowell George's shoe size was 9½.  I'd say that's Medium Feet.

Shoot, that's my shoe size, and I've always been a bit miffed about my small, dainty feet. Then again, I'm almost six feet tall, so maybe Mr. George's feet were in better proportion to his body.

I'm glad you're enjoying it.  The other 801 albums are a bit flat in comparison, so my appropriate
recommendation if you want to hear more of the same would be Phil Manzanera's Diamond Head,
released in... 1975.

I'd also suggest checking out a couple of Eno's solo records. I'd recommend Here Come the Warm Jets or maybe Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy). Not quite the same as 801 Live (or Diamond Head for that matter) but they'll give you an idea of where Eno's influence entered into 801, and they include a song or two that also appeared on 801 Live.  Another personal fave of mine is Before and After Science. A bit more contemplative (in places) than his earlier work, but I'd call it a masterpiece nonetheless.

One of the things that makes 801 Live great is that it is well-balanced; in particular Brian Eno's
quirkiness is contained.  While your recommendations are good, one must be cautioned that
Eno's eccentricities are in full flower on his solo albums.  My next suggestion after Diamond
Head would be Manzanera's 1978 release, K-Scope.

Eno's eccentricities are in full flower on his solo albums.

Which is why he's THE cult hero for so many art rockers

As with many self-indulgent art projects, when they're good they can be great.  When they're not...
they can be tedious at best.
