Since this is a thread about Little Feat, and being that Richie Hayward was a MAJOR part of what separated Little Feat from most other rock bands, I'm going to tell about something that I'd wondered about for a long time:
Back in the mid '70's I'd seen an episode of "Don Kirschner's Rock Concert" on television (some of you will probably remember that show). The show featured none other than the Ike and Tina Turner Review, complete with a horn section and the always entertaining back up singer/dancing girls that mimicked Tina's every move. As I watched I'd catch glimpses of the drummer whom looked just like Little Feat's drummer.
I've tried and tried to find a youtube of that episode to verify my hunch. After quite a long time I found It'd been posted, but by the time I discovered it, it'd been removed. However, I found yet another article in tribute to Richie Hayward that confirms that he not only DID play that episode, but he'd also been held 'captive' in Ike's studio for session work. Here's a link to the article. Look for the paragraph titled 'A Slave to the Music'. Again, it's a fairly long article, but with a lot of interesting information about the early years of Little Feat's existance:

I would guess if you asked that soundman, he'd tell you he had to ride Lowell's channel pretty tight - cause you just CAN'T plug a Strat into two jacked-up compressors chained to another without, umm, a bit of between-song hum. |
