Little Feat - Alive In America '73 (Red Vinyl)

Red 180g Vinyl 3LP In A Gatefold Jacket

Renaissance Records presses Alive In America '73 on red 180-gram vinyl across three LPs in a gatefold jacket. The set first appeared on CD from Renaissance in 2022, and the label has since issued it on triple 180-gram vinyl in coral red and blood red marble; this is a separate red pressing.

The release dates the show to July 20, 1973, at Ebbets Field in Denver. Renaissance's notes place it between Dixie Chicken (1973) and Feats Don't Fail Me Now (1974), after the 1972 regrouping in which Kenny Gradney replaced bassist Roy Estrada and guitarist Paul Barrere and percussionist Sam Clayton joined, taking the band from a quartet to a sextet. On stage that night were Lowell George on lead vocals and guitar, Barrere on guitar, Bill Payne on keyboards, Gradney on bass, Richie Hayward on drums and Clayton on congas, with Barrere, Payne and Clayton singing backup.

Sixteen performances are sequenced across the three records, opening on "Apolitical Blues" and closing on "Cold, Cold, Cold." The jacket interior carries a liner essay, band photographs and the members' birth and death dates.
