What a great team! Mary and Leon Russell sang together like no other married in music and life. I love their Wedding Album, it's one of the best albums around. Black and White, Male and Female, Musicians and Lovers. No other quite like it. Thank-you for posting this gem to remind us of their power live.
I am and will forever be a fan of Leon Russell. Fell in love with the man and his music so long......ago!! Wonder how many people don't know of him and his amazing career!!! Too bad really.....Leon is one of kind....an amazing talent....wish I could tell him so!!!!
Leon is my HERO, he's the one person in the world I like to meet. I got to see him in Enid Okla. at a HOG Rally, it was great, there were only 100 people there and I got to walk right up to him while he was playing, I was so close I could have touched him. I've seen him every year for the last 5 years or so. I hope I get to see him again this year. Last year it was on my birthday, coolist birthday I've ever had.
@harleyultra1550 What a great story. He's an enigma that's captivated me since I was little girl. 40 years later same magnificent happiness every time I hear him. Hi's eyes. Whoa. It's no wonder he has to wear those big brimmed hats and sunglasses. They're just too powerful. And that smile... oh my goodness
FYI: If you like Mary Russell too, she had an album (possibly her debut album) out in the early 70's on the Shelter label. The title of the album is "Jezebel". It is a masterpiece. I still listen to it.
do you have any more from this concert which you could upload?? :)

Leon and Mary divorced in 1980, so I think this concert must have been in the 70s. I couldn't love him more, but just not a fan of Mary's.

He's still out there, pounding it out on the club circuit. I saw Leon 2 weeks ago on James Island near Charleston, SC
He and his band cooked through medleys of Stones, Chuck Berry, and his tunes. A very fine night and Leon still has the pipes!

I thought maybe it was, at first glance, but the credits say it's Mike Meros on keys.
But he looks like Carls twin :)
