my son turned me on to him.even at almost 80 you can always learn something new.

What a giant! One of the finest solo guitarist ever…….just brilliant!

10-17-24, why am I just now discovering Leon Redbone! ❤

My brother first brought his music to my tender ears.Still enjoying till this day...😮

Unique for his time! Love his old style!

YOU WILL NEVER FIND THIS TODAY.

Thank you, Leon stopped by Rockford, Ill. Charlottes Web from time to time and was always marvelous. Miss him.

Brilliant and fascinating artist. At this point he was perhaps tiring of the persona he had created, and just wanted to discuss and play the obscure music he devoted his life and career to sharing in a more direct way, without theatrics.

that's gold

Superb. Met your parents today, they sent me here. Fantastic chilled vibes. Love it.

When I saw him in Deadwood SD, he came out and started slowly tuning his guitar. At one point he looked up and said "someone let me know when it's right". Great humor and a great musician.

I taught my son this music he is38 and now his children know it.

Oh I miss my Jelly Roll

Oh Watta card...

RIP beloved Leon...you're playing with the Celestials

Year, Year , Year, Please"

remembering leon opening up for john prine at the carter barron in dc my o my see ya all in heaven

R.i’p the one and only Leon redbone

Saw him twice. Unfortunately, the last time - he couldn’t get his guitar in tune. The audience thought it was part of his stick. It was taking forever and he was very disoriented. Someone finally took him off of the stage. After a good while, someone came on stage and said that Leon wanted to finish the concert. He did with difficulty. I’m not sure if he performed after that. Sad. One of the best guitarist that ever lived.

a master of the guitar he knew 1000 songs he claimed //

RIP. Thanks for everything.

Get Mr. Redbone a jelly roll!

Great write up! Rest in Peace Mr. Redbone

somebody give Leon his jelly roll.

I like him as an artist... but N. LaRocha was NOT THE Original creator of Jazz...GTFOH

Saw him in Plymouth NH a few years back. Was all excited to finally see him LIVE. Unfortunately, Leon was plastered and unfit to perform. Oh, he was out there all right - but it would've all fallen apart if not for his piano player, Paul. Case in point, before one tune Leon snickered and turned to Paul to ask in which key the song was played. Very lackluster, and most disappointing performance - if one could call it that. Very Sad, but I wouldn't pay a dime to see him again. Too risky.

Super cool

CHARLES MANSON DIED FOR YOUR SINS!

4:45 "Telling the truth, but no one is paying attention."

thank you Marion..and of coarse Mr Redbone

I'm reminded somewhat of Groucho in his pre-song monologues.

Is this video free from copyright? I'd like to use it (educational purposes) stating Imagine Arts Festivals as the owner.

Was it, ever thought that you could trust the fairies, or were they always liars.

I was so lucky and in the right place to have seen Leon in 1978 in Toronto at the old Forum at the CNE grounds....He absolutely was amazing.....and I have never forgotten that concert..... thankyou Mr Redbone.....You are and have been without peers.

what a talent......!!!

This man needs to be president.

I've seen Leon in concert several times, he's awesome and so funny! x

mandus do you know me?

Thank you, Leon. I love your rendition!

I was feeling kinda down tonight until I heard this .... then my feet started to connect with this lovely happy sound .... he's better than going to the doctor's , thanks Dr Redbone

This man is THE troll god of music.
