Got the chance to open up for him at t he Quiet Knight in Chicago when I was young.. Played the night he got a call his wife was having the baby and he had to leave early, so we ended up playing his slot too. He was a super nice guy...
Wicked! What kind of animal would dare trespass on a guy as beloved & humble as Mssr Kottke, the King of creativity; unrepreduceable on any flat-top with 6-12 strings!! I guess it goes with the territory, huh? They say the greatest compliment is when others try to copy-cat... At any rate, he's a model, even for the best of us...🤍💯🕳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Sutherland should look into our own backyard. While Leo Kottke is a great musician with his own style of playing but not the world's best acoustic guitarist that badge belongs to our own Tommy Emmanuel.
I just love the entirety of this video - the interview, the impeccable playing, Leo being Leo. Incredible.

Hello six!
How are you doing?
It's nice meeting you here!
Never tire of Kottke.
This was the year I was born. This guy oh my GOD. Leo. Much respect ❤❤❤
Mr Fonebone…….somehow I just knew he read Mad magazine. Great sense of humour and some talent.
Nice crisp playing and sound! A lot of Leo's live performances recorded by smartphones are pretty hard to listen to.
A true national treasure
40 years ago! Oh, the passing of time...
And he already had 13 studio albums and 3 greatest hits albums out then!!
Mr. Fonebone...finally see the live performance of it. Priceless!
You are totally awesome I remember you in the 70s believable lie fabulous
Nobody does that beat like Leo!!!
Interviewer: You're the world's best acoustic guitarist
Leo: I recently learned how to read
Leo Kottke is a god
Evocative performance. I can see the foot.
First time I ever heard him in the 70s i swore it was 2 or 3 guitar s
I have been trying to transcribe this cut so thank you. Priceless.
Keep us updated on your transcription? What a wonderful Kottke melody. I hear teases of a few of his other tunes in there. 😎🎸
How is the transcription coming, Bertrand? The one currently available on tabpigs is quite inadequate
Amazing
Genious
More reverb than you usually hear on him? Perhaps it's the way the studio did the sound?
Do you have Leo Kottke and Schulyer, Knobloch, and Bickhardt on Austin City Limits in 1988?
Donny was such a gay intervier
God bless his soul
He did his best
On his Hoffman Guitar, no less!!
Poetry in motion... not much more...
Just so everyone knows, the person commenting as "Leo Kottke" is NOT Leo. Just some troll with a fake name and email address.
Wicked!

@@TennesseeMethuselah, the classic saying is "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".
Just realized he looks like Tony Dinozo from NCIS.
Mr Fone Bone lol
