Leon Redbone- Rare Performance Of Auld Lang Syne On The Johnny Carson Show

[@curtzeek8818]

I still have 2 Leon albums from back in the day. I loved Leon Redbone and his music and still do.

[@BW12149]

Leon couldn’t have had a better supporting group of musicians.❤

[@mauicountygis5450]

Doc and gang were an amazing band for Leon. A+

[@Mudjie50]

I love Leon.. He gave the world a wonderful library of classic songs.

[@aaroncummings3194]

Well, there's Waylon Jennings and there's Leon Redbone... and theyre both OUTLAW AF.❤🎉

[@christopherbright1048]

[@along5925]

[@larryboyes7276]

Leon's music continues to make me feel good and put a smile on my face.

[@sarahostrinsky4595]

We still miss you Leon

[@mjcau]

Leon and the whole band are top class 👌🏻

[@roberthueglin2362]

I HAVE MISSED HIM SO MUCH

[@michaelk6306]

I wish I was in the audience watching this performance. Or better yet, on Frenchman street, with Leon Redbone singing in a sombrero.

[@dannystephens7007]

I haven’t heard from Leon in years love this music

[@peterschleger3686]

Passed away in 2019?

[@LeonRedboneTributeChannel]

The one and only time you'll ever see Leon dressed up in a Mexican Outfit wearing a Sombrero.

[@thatDonOguy]

Oh, yea. He doesn't like Mexican food.

[@joefazio4995]

Classic men, classic TV.

[@TheBCBuddy]

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing. RIP Leon.

[@russellonearrow2154]

That's Doc Severson blowing horn behind him.

[@marilyncooper7208]

He was so good 😊

[@Bluebelle51]

I needed this tonight thank you

[@TOONMAN200]

I clicked on this video out of curiosity. It was so entertaining I watch the whole thing. Great video thanks.

[@fredhoupt4078]

If Leon is singing a tune, then all is well!

[@larrybaker9924]

The late great Leon.

[@jambonejim1249]

A treat to see Doc and Ed playing in the band. I bet they enjoyed that.

[@garyrasberryjr.552]

Don't forget Tommy Newsom on clarinet

[@cptntwang]

Oh how I dig it.

[@JoelBiger]

--- Superb !

[@jacquelinejeenmetelica2506]

I love him. Leon

[@jamiepastman5594]

That's great Merv, just great. What a putz. Between Wheel Of Fortune and Leon I'll take Mr. Redbone every single time for my preferred entertainment. As would anyone with half a brain. But that's right Merv, you're a real genius. thanks for Vanna White...

[@wfemp_4730]

People are different. Some folks prefer puzzles and game shows. Some folks prefer music. And some folks are cultural snobs.

[@TheFutureIsBright17]

Gotta love the man of mystery :)

[@maryclark5329]

Fantastic 🤩

[@LeonRedboneTributeChannel]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@stephaniehand503]

Thank you

[@madogblue]

The ending with Merve was hysterical

[@davef.2329]

A rare visual intrusion by the boom-mike at the end there...

[@LycianWicca]

It's nice to see Mexican music done right.

[@incrediblesimilarity5858]

This performance is about 98% Leon, and 2% MervGriffin with the. "ake a cab" comment. PRICELESS! 👍👍😎😎

[@steveleininger4090]

sweet

[@ingmo9]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@micheal49]

Wearing that suit, I expected Linda Ronstadt to come out and start singing along.

[@ChrisPBacon-vk7sj]

I may be outta my mind after all these years, but didn't Leon do "Putin' on the Ritz" that was on the radio ALL THE TIME around 1980?? I remember it (I think) well but can't find it anywhere!!??

[@CrackCrackCracker]

I believe you are thinking of Taco and not Leon.

[@LeonRedboneTributeChannel]

The only 1980's version of "Putin on the Ritz" that I know of was done by "Taco" in 1982, and was a synthpop euro disco-style version . I can find no records of Leon performing it in a commercial or radio advert, or anywhere else.

[@ChrisPBacon-vk7sj]

@@LeonRedboneTributeChannel Thanks for your input. My memory must be really have become frazzled over the years.

[@illusorymail]

Any idea of the year and date of this gig? I want to see the whole interview.

[@slappinbillyb309]

If you find the extended bit regarding the interview, let me know. I have the 1930 National he’s playing on the set. I would love to see the whole thing myself.

[@ncooty]

1/2/1991

[@sylviacarlson3561]

what year was this?

[@mannyg9059]

An Armenian Mariachi man. lol

[@oldmanfromoc7684]

Si si Yes yes!!

[@ighdesigns]

And Doc’s playing with his band.

[@andyrose5616]

The clarinetist and drummer were also part of Carson’s band.

[@garyhoffman503]

Tejero Mucho! Mr. 🍖 Bone!

[@covidcodyiii9647]

Chords and lyrics for Polly Wolly doodle ?

[@BoogsMcNoogs]

Sure, go ahead.

[@franklekstutis9633]

Sure looks like Zappa

[@robertappleby4891]

The mustache maybe...

[@pastxmas]

Maybe there's a reason why they were never in the same room together.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

There has only been one Frank Zappa And as much as I like some Leon Redbone, he is an entirely different person.

[@thatDonOguy]

Old Leon don't like mexican food, which explains his hostile feelings with that hat.

[@sylviacarlson3561]

what exactly are you talking about?

[@thatDonOguy]

@@sylviacarlson3561 Well, if you've the trailer for that documentary, one of his friends mentions that fact.

[@sandraleepitts]

Maybe, but I was involved with a show he did. And chips and salsa had to be in his trailer. We even brought what was left to party later at a local bar .

[@stargate121]

Merv was a jerk.

[@billgreen6263]

Rude Merv.

[@michignamymichigan]

That was his shtick. 👋

[@mauicountygis5450]

Their gentle barbs were fun for America 1.0. Things were copacetic.
