@bertbouw I noticed that too, so I investigated. This is from the Stropes site: "Big Situation" was recorded in 1994 on the CD Leo Kottke/Peculiaroso (Private Music, 81005-82111-2). In 1997 Leo began performing it as part of an extended composition which also included "I Yell at Traffic" and "Room Service (at the Tahiti Motel)." This larger form was called "Bigger Situation."
@bertbouw Following the trend, perhaps this is the Biggest Situation? (youtube.com) /watch?v=Q_sm1vFShkI Also, I found your channel a year or so ago, was very impressed by your Kottke playing, and inexplicably I did not subscribe. I see I have missed an enormous amount of fresh stuff since then, and I am currently working my way through it. Great playing! It gives me hope that maybe one day an ordinary mortal like me could play some of these songs.
This piece summarizes all of Leo's talent .
Thanks for posting this. I think it’s the only version available on RUclips. Rare and valuable!
Watch You Tube today and you will see Leo's influence in a thousand guitar players

Mr. Kottke makes a six-string sound like a twelve-string.
