Leo Kottke, Bottom Line 1990, Part 1

[@onemanzguitar]

Dang! I was at this show, so the back of my head is seen at the very start, as I was house left, right up by the stage. So cool!

Great player, entertainer, and yes, vocalist. There will never be another. Only a few have all 3 going for them ie. Bruce Cockburn, Tommy Emmanuel, Paul Simon only to name a few.

It is, "The Great One" Man, I bet he hasn’t played this one since back then. Pretty obscure piece. Thanks for this upload!!! Leo is the MAN!

Japanese subtitles, you gotta love it! Music truly IS the universal language. BTW, David Lindley once described Japanese audiences as the best in the world: "They know EVERYTHING you've ever done... ..in-between songs they applaud for ten seconds and then it's absolute silence as they wait for you to begin the next song.....and at the end of the concert they RIOT !"

I frequented the Bottom Line. I ask myself, ‘why wasn’t I at this show?!’ Babyface Leo in top form.

[@dorarendsland3472]

I first saw Leo in Austin, TX. at the Armadillo.

Pretty sure I was at this show, down front just audience left of center. Unless this is the late show, as I was at theearly show.

Love to hear him sing too! He‘s got such a good voice and he has such a great sense of hinpurzle!

[@lynnmcguire]

thank you!

[@henryphillips4683]

what an inspiration and illuminated mind

[@chadfengel]

No. Leo, is just one of my favorite players, and the reason I got into Fingerstyle Guitar.

fngrstyl ... I thought that Chet was the man, when I was 8 and began to playing. Then came Hank Marvin, Dwain Eddy, Hendrix; and there are just so many many more! Ah... Greg Lake... Ahm... And then I hear L.k. And just wanna give up And, well, just die... But, no. It took me a quite a few hundred listening, And, now, after nearly 50yrs I'm beginnin to get... somewhere...

Lovely Brazilian feel and rhythm

[@somewhere59]

I meant the piece before Rings. "The great one" is to be read at the bottom, but one cannot trust, if its right.

[@pereraddison932]

... oh, someone's intimidated... Not me. I'm completely at ease and comfortable with this level of ability. Nothing to it. Everything he does is just so obvious... Boohoohoool shit... yeah, and after 50yrs of very close listening I think I've figured sumpin' out.. I will never be as good as Leo, but I sure can snuggle up pretty close... yum...

[@guitar8166]

Can he rock a guitar or what!!

[@chinanigans]

haha they put the title on the wrong song for eggtooth

[@somewhere59]

Have you attended this concert?

[@romanworoch3902]

Picking Porn!!! Thanks Leo!!!

[@fouramhq]

These subtitles are way wrong....

[@zippy3711]

Just try to play that kind of guitar AND sing at the same time. Think about it.

[@pereraddison932]

zippy ... yep... I can strum somewhat similar to the way that Leo picks. But it's a very busy arm n wrist work out. Been workin' The Fisherman for moren 40yrs, and a few others. But listening to Leo since 6n12 1st arrived in Australia, and having only once seen him play in Geelong...
