Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A good selection of tunes very well played and sung.......2005-09-09

While not quite as overwhelming as Live From Neon Park (my favorite of the Feats' modern era live recordings), this is a wonderful selection of Little Feat tunes. It is true that the groove is a little mellower than on some of the Feat's other live recordings, but mellow ain't necessarily bad. Fred Tackett's trumpet playing is spotlighted on several tracks, and there's lots of the subtle interplay between the players that makes Little Feat so enjoyable to see and hear.

I happen to completely disagree with E. Voorhies' opinion of Shaun Murphy -- she is a great singer and makes wonderful contributions to everything Little Feat does. She isn't Lowell George -- Lowell was, but he died. Shaun is Shaun and can be appreciated in her own right. Mssrs. Barerre, Payne, Hayward et al are exceptional musicians and they didn't invite her to join the group because they thought she would make it worse -- I mean, they're on the road together for at least 100 gigs a year and that's too much time to spend playing with someone you don't respect.

To summarize, while some may argue that this is not the best live Feat, they are a great band and if you listen with open ears the performances captured here really grow on you. Dig it.

4 out of 5 stars Great underrated Feat Songs with overrated female Vocalist.......2005-07-08

I am a professional guitarist and vocalist and have been a Little feat fan ever since the Civil War. I have tried to like Shaun Murphy's vocals for several years now....tried and tried and tried. I'm tired of trying. Paul Barrere is one of the best blues/rock vocalists out there, and Bill Payne's not bad either, and anything she sings, they could do better. I have been wondering for years why I had never heard them perform my two favorite Little Feat songs...One Clear Moment and Changin Luck from my favorite feat album..Let it Roll. Now they're out, but I strongly disagree with John, the previous reviewer. They nowhere approach their previous magic with Shaun Murphy doing the vocal work. I just don't understand how anybody could say that honestly. Craig Fuller did a damn good job filling a hole left by the absence of Lowell George. His vocals on the original version on "One Clear Moment" made it one of the top five listened to songs on my CD player in the last 10 years. I'm glad to hear them do it live, finally, but either Paul or Bill should be singin the lead vocals. I'll probably wind up buying it anyway.

3 out of 5 stars It doesn't live up to its title.......2005-06-09

Barnstormin' Live Vol. 1 shows Little Feat continuing to battle the Allman Brothers Band in the most live albums competition. However, this album focuses on their lesser known tracks which is a nice surprise. Tunes from the Lowell George era are kept to a minimum and even those present aren't among their classic tracks. As usual, the musicianship is top notch and there's more emphasis on Shaun Murphy's bluesy vocals than on their previous live recordings.
