1977 - my girlfriend agreed to go to a Leo Kottke concert instead of our high school formal. We dressed up, went out to dinner then to the concert, where we both tried to figure out where the eff the second guitar player was hiding. Incredible playing. And I ended up marrying that woman, still going strong 40 years married. And the concert is a special memory for us both.
Nice story. We could all take a moment and feel gratitude for those moments in our lives.❤
my best friends older sister got us to go see Leo in 1972 in a cafeteria of the UofW ... we sat on the stairs that led up to his stage riser and we were completely blown away. 5 years later (1977) my new bride and I saw him in Maui Hawaii in the open air with hula dancers on either side of him. We felt our honeymoon was GIFTED and we'll never forget the beauty and joy of Leo's music flowing over us!
Leo signed my guitar as a kid in the early 2000s in Woodstock (Illinois)! I’m still playing to this day!
I must five or six Kottke LPs bought back in the day. Fabulous artist. This is a priceless treasure of young Leo in the best format to hear him -- Live.
Heard the armadillo album in an attic apartment on an AR turntable preamped and amplified through and broadcasted by Mac Intosh gear, absolutely altered my life's trajectory. Pleased as punch it did, still am planted when I hear a Kottke lick, only a 53 year old habit. KOTTKE!!!!!!!!
Thanks to him I have thousands of dollars in guitars I play badly!
But you play them, that’s the key… keep playing😜
Long winters in Saint Paul sitting on the edge of the bed playing guitar produced this.
Long ago I drove with some friends down the California coast from Silicon Valley to San Diego on Labor Day weekend, listening to an old tape of Leo Kottke . Though it took the whole day, Leo had me in a trance that it seemed almost like nothing; the tape player in the car would automatically play it over and over . The only other magical thing was we got to stop to take a few breaks and once we stopped at Pismo Beach where we ate a snack. Pismo was, you might recall, is where Bugs Bunny was always trying to get to but would wind up taking a wrong turn at Albuquerque. I had my friends take a picture of me standing next to the sign at the beach so I could prove I got there.
I first saw him in concert in 1972. Been seeing him play off & on for 50 years now! Just saw him the other day. (11-16-22')
Still the best! Finally got his autograph!
what a great sense of humor too
I saw him there and since this concert I´m a fan. He is -after all that Years - still a genius. When I feel bad I still hear his records.
Tip of that hat on that🤯
Agreed, there is something healing in his music. I can't quite put into words.
Good stuff! Chreers & prowst!🍺👍
Great performance! He was sooo young way back then! Could play like a freight train with all that talent and energy! Wish I had known about him then!
Lol
Age is just but a number, you know? I still do that which I used to do then, absolutely nothing has changed though... Thanks for the love and support
@@TheMoodyBluesChat i love you
I wish I'd seen him then. He was my greatest inspiration for 12 string way back in the 60's!

I first saw Leo play in town in 1972.
What a talented man.
Just saw him again last night (11/16/22). He's slowing down a tad, but he's still the best. - That's 50 years a fan!👍

Thank you, Mr Kottke. When I was a teenager I saw you in concert. After that I bought a Gibson B-45-12 N in quest of your elusive magic. Your art has been a big influence on my life for 50 years. Many thanks! 🤠🎸
I was working in Germany in 1977 and saw him live. One of the best concerts I've seen. One of the greatest singer/ songwriters and guitarists ever. Thank you Uncle Remus for putting this up.
This brings back memories, when I was a teenager. Can anybody imagine how I love Leo's music ? Still love every note...
I can imagine, but I don't have to!
I. Found Leo's 6&12 string, in 1980 as a hevay metal head freshman, looking for sommthing to light Sprite! That album has it all! Sommthing for every mood. I've been 2 three shows.all were great.he doesn't over run you with melancholy lyrics, but the stories leading up to the songs are very interesting &humorous. I have all his music.but 6&12 is the must have.!!!!!!!!!!
I first saw him at the U of Miami early '70's. I used to play his album and ask people how many guitars were being played. Just Leo. Amazing. Now I have my grandson trying to play Leo, good luck!
The closeup’s of his fingerings are the best I’ve seen. 💕👍💕
We saw Kottke in West Berlin during this tour. Great times.
HOLY FUCK BATMAN !
Im just now discovering this guy, after seeing a video, where he is much older, tuning his guitar, while telling a story about when he met Bob Dylan. I'll be downloading, and listening to everything I can find now !
Thank you for this upload.
This is about the time I learned of Leo. Loved him and his music ever since.
On the next monday, Harald and me drove and bought each a 12 string guitar...
WOW! Leo Kottke plays 12 string guitar and 12 string guitar! Who else would bring just two 12 strings to a 90 minute concert?
Actually it's ten. He takes two high ones off.
I just noticed in the close up that he made a liar out of me. I've seen him live three times each time I was right in front of him and counted each time it was ten strings.
@@KaiserBlade Do you know which strings he doesn't use and which songs he plays?
@@kingrobert1st The high strings that go with the B and high E whatever they are.
Thanks Uncle Remus....subscribed. This is superb. Leo is Legend.
Nice to see him play the Martin-Lundberg conversion and the Gibson B25 12 that eventually was stolen.
😪🥲❣️
I remember when he opened for Phoebe Snow at Carnegie Hall in NYC in the early 80s. Wife and I had front row center seats. We left after Leo and gave our seats to a person in the back row.
der Mann ist unglaublich! was für ein begnadeter Gitarrist
Love him, thank you
From College days, saw him at Luther College, Decorah Iowa USA.
leo could give mcguinn and cooder a lesson in combining bottleneck and 12-string guitar playin‘…just awesome

@@TennesseeMethuselah I’ll check him out! Thx!
Giant period 😍😍😍😍
Just got my 12 string fix for the day!
has anyone in history ever made an acoustic guitar roar like Mr Kottke (see 4:44)?
Nope 🤠
Leo Kottke comes to mind (see 1:17:20) 😀
Uncle R. - Thank you for your service. You may have missed a title there though, right in the middle - "Easter and the Sargasso Sea."
I'm glad I got to hear the story of Louise (@28.30 if you're interested)
Grandioser Virtouse..
Thank you for posting. This is amazing.
wow
Liked this guy since that album he did in the 90s. Fantastic vid, thanks
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the love and support
The Charlie Parr of my generation
Was trying to ~ and did catch John Martyn stateside. Sure wish i knew of sweet pamela brown back then.
Incredible set. The artwork looks more like Brian Eno.
Il meglio dello stile finger piking!
Why is Rick Springfield on the background???
Ronny Berger lässt grüßen!
I have to think his telling the macabre story of the woman's leap from the bridge was intended to afford the very staid, irritatingly sober German audience with a little levity. Oh, well. Brilliant performance, though, as always. Leo's a genius.
Apparently this is part of the course for German audiences period there's a rock palace concert of Johnny Winter on RUclips where he teases the audience that it wouldn't hurt them to move around and make some enthusiastic noise and maybe dance a little bit. The only German concerts I've seen on RUclips that really get the crowd's juices flowing are a trio of shows by David Lindley and El RayoX from Loreley, Rockpalast and Metropol Berlin. Moodily actually manages to get the audience to clap on acoustic pieces such as the bluesy Hawaiian slide guitar of Ragbag" and the violin-driven Hangman's Reel. Awesome shows, all of them, although the Berlin show unfortunately has some distortion for the few first few minutes of the recording a buzz in the PA that never quite goes away ( the band makes jokes about it). German technology gets a fail for that one!
I guess I am not used to German audiences but some look like they would rather be somewhere else.
There is an Johnny Winter concert on RUclips from Germany where Johnny teases the audience that maybe they could get up and make some enthusiastic noise and dance around a little bit: "it won't hurt you or nothin' ", he says! The only German concert performances I've seen on RUclips where the audiences are enthusiastically noisy are several shows by David Lindley and ElRayo-X that definitely got the crowd's juices flowing. The 3 German ElRayoX shows I know of are at Loreley, Rockpalast, and Metropol Berlin; the Berlin show has audio issues ---- some distortion at first that goes away, and a constant buzz from the PA that unfortunately does not (the band makes some jokes about it) ---- but the playing is magnificent, especially a violin based piece that starts with Persian classical music and mutates into "the Hangman's Reel", with phenomenal drumming and oil can percussion. Lindley even gets the audience clapping for several songs, and in Germany that's no small feat!
They are there because they love the music. That’s just how it was back then. We were into the music.
Interesting that there’s a Grateful Dead “Blues for Allah” poster/banner hanging behind his right shoulder.
I can’t spot it - but, I was interested to hear of the origins of the phrase ‘the grateful dead’ - from an old legend - in a Salley Vickers novel lately. It’s not, as I thought, something nihilistic, but about the ongoing conversation between us on this side of death with those on the other side. Which ones are the ‘dead’ ones as such, I’m still not quite clear on.
Kriste mitnem smartphone nicht hin
Meens hat och keene Saiten! 🤣
Basically, you want to give up.
No. This makes me want to play.
Sounds like a cheap guitar.
Cheap guitar! Dude you gotta be nuts!
