The final show on Sunday night featured none other than Littlefeat, and what a show it was! One of the best rock concerts I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of  em. The 20 minute version of “Dixie Chicken” was, to say the least, plump full of juicy awesomeness. Near the end they brought out Richie Hayward, founding member and  long time drummer.Though suffering from liver cancer, he still managed to get on the drums and pound the skins.

update…

Sadly, Richard Hayward passed away  in early August. I feel  profoundly blessed that I was able to see him perform in public that one last time.

My condolences to his family and friends.
