I *never* get tired of the cut of Dixie Chicken on WFC ( even more than the eponymous album ) Some of Bill Payne's keyboard work just completely knocks me out.

We are in agreement. "Waiting For Columbus" is one of the few live albums which does not degrade the original material. As an introduction to Little Feat it would be hard to top. And I see "On the Way Down" is on the remastered version as an extra. (Lord, I butchered the title before, didn't I" lol. It was unintentional).
