By Bernie Russell It is obvious that the executives at Warner Brothers Records had the tremen­ dous succ~ss of ''Frampton Comes Alive!" on their minds when they decided to record and release Little Feat's "Waiting For Col­ umbus." Like " Frampton Comes Alive!-" "Waiting For Columbus" is a two record set, recorded live, with much emphasis · placed on audience response. The publicity campaign for "Waiting F:or Columbus" centers around the fact that Little Feat is a cult group with a growing number of fans-just like Peter Frampton was before ''Frampton Comes Alive! '' sold ten million copies world-wide. Musically, "Waiting For Columbus" falls short of "Frampton Comes Alive!" While both albums begin with all the ex­ citement of a live performance, only Frampton's record is able to sustain that excitement for · four whole sides. Little Feat oviously tires on the third side of " Waiting For Columbus" and never regains the energy that was so stunning at the beginning. This is especially sad because of the two acts, Little Feat is by far the more talented. One of the charms of Little Feat is that they don't sound like anybody. Little Feat begins to show signs of with an upbeat cut at the end, "Feats Don't group recording today for improvisation, Their music is high-volume and they do a fatigue in the eight minute tour de force Fail Me Now," but it is so obvious that Top Forty listeners used to three and four lot of januning like Lynyrd Skynyrd but on Side Three, "Dixie Chicken."
