Doobie Brothers/Little Feat: Rainbow Theatre, London
Chris Welch, Melody Maker, 25 January 1975
CURIOUSER and curiouser. There was no denying the deserving nature of the ovation that greeted Little Feat the boogie band that plays more music than most, at the Rainbow, London, show on Sunday afternoon. But why were the Doobie Brothers frozen out? Their lukewarm reception, compared to the generosity shown to the Feat, became almost a studied insult.
