There 1978 live album, Waiting On Columbus, is widely considered one of the greatest live albums ever released. While on tour in Washington DC, Lowell George died of a massive heart attack. His daughter, Inara George grew up to be a respected singer-songwriter in her own right. She is one-half of indie-rock faves, The Bird and the Bee.
