So this is the city Bugs Bunny was always making a wrong turn at.😊

[@beagley]

What amazes me most about this is realizing that if I’d been cruising randomly around Albuquerque I could have run into Leland Sklar. What a day that wouldn’t been.

[@steven_scattergood]

Great to see the return Leland’s Excellent Adventures and be taken for a long awaited walk. Feels like home being taken on tour. Excellent hearing The Beverley Hillbillies played like that. Thank you Lee for our walk for the day and sharing what is an excellent video journal that will always bring memories.👍☮️

[@lelandsklar6363]

It really is!

[@yorkazuna5934]

I can't say the word "Albuquerque" without saying it in Bugs Bunny's voice.

[@gstevens6948]

Fact.

Did I miss the Willie Green salute?

Hey lee. Good day. I wish you a phenomenal tour. Thank you for sharing this little tune with Russ. Man that was really good. He hasn’t lost his feeling of time. Such a sweet groove. Listened to it a couple times. Greetings sir.

Thank you Mark, he is about to or has just retired, I am going to look up more about him. 👍

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

I was thinking I looked that up for nothing! But I actually got a separate byte of info. He had been Albuquerque's CFO.

The stunning Kiva Auditorium is where the “Stars” shine bright in Albuquerque, George Lopez, Eddie Vedder, Jerry Seinfeld and Norah Jones have all graced the stage in one of New Mexico’s most beloved entertainment destinations. Located on the upper level of the West Complex, the Kiva Auditorium boasts a proscenium stage and half-round seating for 2,300 people, making it an elegant but intimate setting for concerts, comedy shows, lectures, general sessions or graduations. The Auditorium’s backstage area includes a spacious Green Room appointed with a kitchenette, two large chorus dressing rooms, two private dressing rooms and two conveniently-located production offices.

Evening, Mark! 💖 🤗

It's nice to see you made it to Albuquerque. I worked downtown for 35 years. If you are in doubt about which way you are heading after you leave, you "should have turned left!"

[@BasicDrumming]

I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

[@j40bob1]

Is that the Kiva? They've done some major work on it. I ran a stage crew that helped set up concerts for contemporary Christian artists in the early 1980s. At the time, the freight elevator was so old that when we put anywhere close to its weight capacity in it, it stalled part way up. I'm sure they've updated it now.

[@johnhanchar4054]

Lee, if you have time you should check out Old Town Albuquerque.

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

Holy smokes!!! Albuquerque has changed since the last time I was there! (And is unrecognizable from the time I first rolled through with my replies).

[@KittyCarlile-490]

Same as I was thinking. I've been there many times when it was more a town and not a big city. As you say, unrecognizable

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

Is this the future of ai? I wrote "rellies" (an Australianism-- as far as I know-- for "relatives") and apparently the device changed it to "replies."

[@KittyCarlile-490]

@@SoundsFair--M-and-J I wondered about that and thought it funny tho. "Rolling through w replies" I like that

The Leland tours begin again. Having only been on the outskirts of Albuquerque, I appreciate this downtown review. I’m sorry you guys won’t be stopping in Lancaster PA this year. I’m still living off of the fun of last year’s show! Damn, I could have listened to that sound check jam for hours…

My folks lived in the 4 Hills area of Albuquerque, beautiful area and I would spend a week of vacation with them each summer. We went golfing and eating--per capita there are a lot of great places to eat there, and the weather is great - no humidity to speak of. I am sure you will have a great show!! Thanks for bringing us with you!😀

How close are you to the NM fires?

[@artemisXsidecross]

Fires are south east of Albuquerque. “…We are used to these disasters, but I don’t think this agency has ever dealt with anything like this,” said Dr Jeremy Klass, the recovery and mitigation bureau chief of New Mexico’s department of homeland security and emergency management. “We are dealing with two disasters right on top of one another.” The South Fork and Salt fires are still burning and remain at 0% containment and communities across the south of the state are bracing for more rain. After erupting on the Mescalero Apache Reservation, the blazes burned hot and fast, sweeping across more than 23,400 areas collectively and leveling neighborhoods. 6/22/24 The Guardian

[@artemisXsidecross]

Fire update 6/23/24 Fire Statistics Acres: South Fork - 17,551; Salt - 7,775 Start Date: June 17, 2024 Location: South Fork - Ruidoso Area, Salt - 7 miles west of Mescalero, NM Personnel: 1,114 Containment: South Fork - 31%; Salt - 7% Fuels: Mixed conifer, grass, pine/juniper Resources: 22 Crews, 88 Engines, 13 Dozers, 18 Water Tenders.

I see your T-Shirts are Gildan: Back in the 90's when we were touring and decided to make them we asked around to find better ones than many we bought from bands that were cheap, everyone said Gildan are the best, and they really were, Many fans were aware of it too, and would check the label. Had they said Hanes or Fruit of the Loom, we may have sold far less! I myself am leery about anything else when buying new, but also used in thrift stores.

[@RaxFx]

is James Harrah playing a Suhr Pete Thron Signature guitar? the gold top?

Ok, the things this channel makes us do. We enjoyed and had discussed the jam session up on stage (it made me think about the story of the origin of The Section). But it wasn't until I saw the comments that I had to look up "The Beverly Hillbillies" theme; and I thought I knew it! (Bubbling crude...hills of Beverly-- swimming pools, etc.). Must have missed it because I'm such a young sprite.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@TrystonL7]

Can't get over how much the first figure in that "Sidewalk Society" looks like Joseph Stalin. Good grief, I guess he wouldn't be walking around hat in hand.
