It ´s awesome. I love this song.. I ´m listening this in my car every day ...:-) It´s funny how Leon at the end of vid 2:49 almost get a hit by microphone !!!! :-DD And his words "Watch out! " :-D LOL By the way... he is really HOT..
Great song and great performance. I just find out, how Leon is awesome. It ´s crazy, that some "older" musicians can make fainted a young girls like me :-))
Leon has so much soul, it's ridiculous. This dude was an artist. He swings on the simplest songs. His piano grooves, and song intros , just kick me in the guts (in a great way) every single time. Thanks so much for this video. You GDead bashing fools are pathetic. The Dead also did this song up right in the late 60's and early 70's when Pigpen sang it.. He was a great Jimmy Reed fan.

Well ladies and gentlemen great news to be reported for all the fans of Mr. Leon Russell or should I say the newest member of THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2011. Congrats to the master of time and space.
Leon needs to be in the RRHOF in his lifetime. Even if he doesn't get in, he is in it in his fan's hearts. I hope he knows how thankful people are for his music.
I remember Will the circle be unbroken off this session. I remember it very well. I can hear it now in my head after all these years. And my God, it was good.
i believe this was the same concert that contained "let the circle be unbroken". it was the greatest version i have ever heard. however i have been unable to find it anywhere. any suggestions?
@olderoamer - you might find it at " Leon Russell Library": At the request of Leon Russell, we recently took possession and control of his audio and video tape library, bringing it to its new home in Oklahoma. Lots of treasures in the mass of tapes that we'll be sorting through and archiving over the next few (many) years.
That's Don Preston. He was a part of this whole musical family. Don't know much about him other than being a part of "Mad Dogs And Englishmen," "The Concert For Bangla Desh," and then Leon's solo work.
thank you posting this. i am old enough to have seen it when it was on channel 23. it was the second half of a concert that began with cat stevens. i have been looking for this for years. is there any chance you could post the rest of this concert for this loyal leon fan? the only way to see it is to go to the museum of televison and radio in los angeles. i've waited for these videos for along time. thank you. vickie
apparently i don't know what exactly the concert is listed under. i can't seem to pull up the right site or i'm not putting in the right info. please help. thanks cub
Youtube blocks some text so it's hard to type as I can't post the full link. You have to join dimeadozen(dot)org ... it's free but they only allow 100,000 members so you might have to wait a few days while inactive members get purged
I also LOVED this live show when it aired in 1971. It made a lifelong Leon fan! I found the DVD on ebay. It is called 'Leon Russell and Friends' and has a very strange intro by Leon. I didn't think it was really him, but an impersonator. I watch the DVD about once a week. It is absolute food for the soul! Good luck to all who are searching for a copy. The very best song performance from this show is an instrumental called 'Jim Horn's Song'. You will not be able to sit still!
I've been searching for this video since it aired on PBS in 1971. It was called Full Circle and also featured a segment with Cat Stevens. If the whole show is ever available on DVD I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
Beautiful is the word for Leon. There's just something magnetic about him. I had never heard of him before seeing this so long ago, but it made a life-long fan out of me. If I come across finding it on DVD I will be sure to post.
I was the one who requested this and am very happy that you posted it! I have waited over 35 years to see this and I can still remember all the details.
Damn! LEON you are the best. Leon kicks ass. Ck. out Leon and J.J. Doing. "Corina Corina".
