Ah, Leo is always great!

This was a prolific time for LK for sure , but his most? not so sure. Leo had a few phases in his creative life and they were all prolific in various ways. To me the 90's were one of his most prolific because Leo had become a greater composer than before and acquired a huge artistic range of expression that moved way beyond flashy and tricky guitar playing. Leo kept opening boundaries since. Compare this admittedly great live concert to another live recording like "One guitar, no vocals" and you will hear youthful testosterone versus mature mastery.

Saw Leo in a little chapel in Union College, NY...Love Story filmed there...in 1972 making my way to the left coast in my VW bug, just blown away. Then again in St. Louis late '70's and he remains the standard by which all pickers are judged. He is a magician, a one of a kind and anyone who thinks there's another equal of him has never seen him in person. My musician, guitar playing, singer song writer daughter, could not believe this was one guitar. No shit.

I saw Leo in 1974 or '75 in Durham, NC. He pulled off the best guitar "stunt" I've ever seen (before or since). Sitting in a folder chair with spare strings hanging through the chair back, he launched into "Machine Gun" & promptly broke a string. SInce the song is in an open tuning, he kept up the percussive finger-picking with his right hand & quickly removed each end of the broken string from the tuning peg and the tailpiece. He carefully reached back to his cache of spare strings. Finding the right one by feel, he threaded it through the tailpiece, over the bridge, under his still picking fingers, over the nut & through the hope in the tuning peg. Tuning it to pitch, he jumped right back into "Machine Gun" where he'd left off. He never missed a beat. Amazing!

My grandson(13)is learning guitar. He listens then copies. We talked about great guitar players. Neither he nor his father had heard of Leo. So I'll be sending a link to them. I remember the first time I saw him on tv, in the seventies. Wow, what a great guitarist!!

I was introduced to Leo by a boyfriend in the early '80s via vinyl. By the time we saw him live in Columbus, Ohio, I was convinced his full-bodied sound was created in post production. Imagine my total and complete surprise when he walked out on stage, sat on a stool, picked up an acoustic 12-string and blew me into the outer stratosphere!! There he was, right in front of me, all by himself, making that very same music that I had been convinced was track upon track upon track or at leaset seven other musicians... and doing it all alone with ONE guitar! I am STILL amazed all these 30-some years later. What a talent.

I wish I could play like Leo

I first had the pleasure of seeing Leo at "My Fathers Place" in Roslyn NY, in 1981 as a teenager. I quickly learned what an incredible talent he was and began collecting his albums, 25 to date. Since then, I've seen him perform live 12 times and have been lucky enough to meet and talk with him at 6 of those shows. Now that I am 45 and play guitar myself, I appreciate his enormous talent even more. He is a true class act and a living legend. It is wonderful to be able to hear this concert from his early days. Good Job Concert Vault!!!!!

I was lucky to see Mr. K twice in the early '70's, down here in Houston. The 1st time was at Liberty hall, when this young fellow comes out in a white tee shirt, sits down and blows everyone away. i certainly played the heck out of my vinyl. Nobody comes clos to his 12 string picking. What a treat. Thanks Vault guys!! love from Texas, jan
