Editorial Review:
This 1978 live album remains a serious contender for one of the best live rock albums ever etched, standing toe to toe with live classics from the Band, Allman Brothers, and the Who. Recorded during concerts in London and Washington, D.C., Waiting for Columbus vividly captures the L.A. sextet at a crossroads between its swampy mid-'70s fusion of blues, country, and New Orleans R&B, and the more eclectic jazz accents introduced later in the decade. If the late Lowell George's influence had diminished in the studio, his presence dominates here in rowdy, righteous vocals, the mercurial tang of his indelible slide guitar, and a set-list laced with his songs. While still riveting in its initial, abridged CD release, this remastered two-disc edition expands and resequences the songs into a full concert set, with encore. Two deleted tracks are further augmented by 10 additional performances to make this a definitive edition of a classic album that really will "boogie your speakers away." --Sam Sutherland

Rating: - WAITING FOR COLUMBUS...WELL WORTH THE WAIT ! (especially this expanded and remastered 2-disc version)
Little Feat's classic Waiting for Columbus (1978) is one of rock music's most distinguished live albums, and deservedly so. The performances are enthusiastic and professional, and the song selection is everything you would expect from this Lowell George fronted version of Little Feat. The musicianship is outstanding!
These performances were recorded in August of 1977 at The Rainbow Theatre in London and George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Although enough material was recorded ... Read More
Rating: - "I'm Temporarily Qualmless And Sinking."
"Waiting For Columbus" is one of the best live albums ever recorded, and this two disc packaging improves dramatically on what was already a classic. The album was recorded over several nights at the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University in Washington, DC and at the Rainbow Theatre in London during August 1977. Tragically, Little Feat's dynamic frontman, Lowell George, would play his last concert at Lisner less than two years later.
This two CD set restores some great songs to ... Read More

Rating: - The Best Live Album Ever
Yea, I know some people will already be clicking this review is of no help and comment about some live at this or that by some group from some period in their lives, but the reality is is that this is one smoking set. There's no way that you can listen through to this concert and wonder why you weren't following Little Feat around when Lowell George was still with us. The jam based Dixie Chicken is one of the few live recordings that makes the studio version pale in comparison; the live Atlanta just swings; ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best live albums ever!
Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus is easily one of the best live albums ever recorded. A band that was well respected by fellow musicians, Little Feat received little love on the radio. Their albums were bought and appreciated by a growing cult following who learned about the band through word of mouth or seeing them live. Its 1978 release was during the height of the live album era as artists such as Cheap Trick, Peter Frampton, and Kiss would break into the mainstream thanks to their recorded live show. Waiting ...
