I saw these guys perform together in 1988 at Berklee Performance Center in Boston. It was incredible.

Seeing Michael Hedges give me a chill, a smile and a tear all at the same time. A true master of our time.

The VHS distortion on ritual dance really deepens the vibe for me. Fucking sick

For me the most alive and wonderful version of All Along the Watchtower. The best.

It's strange, around 1988 my friend introduced me to Michael Hedges' music, and I introduced him to Leo Kotke's music, and then I liked Hedges more than Kotke, and he liked Kotke more than Hedges. My friend was also the person who informed me of Michael's death years later. It was heartbreaking to hear. I saw hedges 3 times in concert, the first being at a small blues club in Baltimore with about 30 people in the room, and I had a seat above him in a balcony only about 20 feet from him, and it was fantastic. I was so inspired that I went out and bought my first guitar the next day, but unfortunately I had 0 musical talent, so despite hundreds of hours of practice, I could never learn to play.

I once met Michael Hedges--just as a fan---he treated all of his fans with so much respect--he talked to me for several minutes---just seemed like a guy who really knew who his was---also brought a new energy to the guitar that has influenced most of the new wave of instrumental guitarists that came after him.

I saw him during a Colorado blizzard. What a show even though there weren't a hundred peeps there. He invited everyone backstage after he finished. What a beautiful guy he was

Wow! Did not know this existed. Have seen both of them perform in person individually. Saw Michael twice, the second time was a few months before his death. Have seen Leo several times. Twice in the 70's, once in the 80's, this year and one other time.

This is so beautiful. Thank you for posting this. The closer quote from Leo!

@leebuckman2785 Жыл бұрын

18:32 Leo: "I used to think that it would be nice to be consumed by my instrument." Michael's reaction of knowing is wonderfully funny.

That whole closing talk by Leo is great. He quotes Carl Jung.

Leo Kottke, born in Athens, GA. Not the most famous musician from there, but certainly one of the better ones.

This was the moment that introduced me to both Michael and Leo, and from there so many other great artists. Thanks for uploading, I can never find my VHS copy.

I found out about Michael Hedges in '85. I expected he would be much more famous than he ever was. I guess there is not always a correlation between talent and fame.

@shelleycovey8437 Жыл бұрын

Martha Worc: Had he lived a little longer, perhaps he would have become more widely known. He died in an auto accident in 1997.

He wasn't famous commercially; but he was famous among guitarist, especially acoustic guitarists.

@kindabluejazz Жыл бұрын

He lives on in people like Don Ross, Andy McKee, Kaki King, Phil Keaggy, and others. They all acknowledge Michael and play many of his tunes.

But... His Influence on the " Guitar Collective "" has proven Immeasurable ! RIP Michael .... I often have wondered ... Imagined Mr Hendrix on stage with Hedges... Even JIMIs head would have turned a few X ! 🌟💫🎸🎸 In fact .. I do believe he was " The Hendrix of acoustic guitar"" . Simply Incredible! So very few ever reach such a level of writing ..playing .

Very cool… A big fan of both of these guys . I saw Leo couple of times, Michael at least a half a dozen or so! I didn’t see them together on this tour though… thanks for posting this! Hadn’t seen it before 👍❤️🎸

@ron88303 Жыл бұрын

I saw together on two different tours. First time I went to see Leo and had never heard of Hedges. Michael had the opening set . . . and WOW, I had just discovered a new guitar god! A few years later saw them again with Leo taking the opening set.
