Little Feat will “Skin It Back” to the band’s seminal 1978 live album Waiting For Columbus with a new expanded edition. Out on July 29th via Rhino, the Waiting For Columbus: Super Deluxe Edition comes as the classic rock act celebrates the album’s 45th anniversary with a nationwide tour. Along with the announcement, the band shared a recording of “Fat Man In The Bathtub” from The Rainbow Theatre in London on August 2nd, 1977.

The Waiting For Columbus: Super Deluxe Edition is an eight-CD box set, containing a newly remastered version of the original album and three previously unreleased concerts. Rhino is also offering multiple bundles which include a 2LP vinyl repressing of the original album and a reissue of the 7″ single for “Oh Atlanta” b/w “Willin'”.

In addition to the original live recordings featured on Waiting For Columbus, Little Feat will include three never-before-released concerts from the same period. These shows also heard Little Feat joined by the Tower of Power horns, just as they were August 1st–4th, 1977 at London’s Rainbow Theatre and 8th–10th at George Washington University‘s Lisner Auditorium in Washington, D.C. for the concerts that became Waiting For Columbus.

The three new concerts were taped at Manchester City Hall on July 29th, The Rainbow on August 2nd, and Lisner Auditorium on the 10th. The new expanded edition updates the classic album with unreleased live cuts from throughout Little Feat’s celebrated catalog, like “Skin It Back” and “Rock And Roll Doctor”—all songs that didn’t make the original double LP—as well as a cover of Allen Toussaint‘s “On Your Own Way Down”.
