Mesmerizing talent and true wit. Just love the guy.

That bathtub story is so amazingly "buuuh?"

I'm sure many of my stories do the same to most people.

[carloscarlos11]

Carpethead,

Thank you for this series. Kottke is a genius. (A small suggestion, on a technical note--in the future, you might want to contrive some means of keeping the wind off your microphone. Then it won't sound like the next county is being carpet-bombed by B52's.) ;) Again, thank you for these clips!

[TheGzeus]

@Skeegazer56 carpetHEADbombed?

Yuk yuk, har har.

*crickets*

What a tremendous series, one of the best ever on YouTube. Thanks! I have seen Leo perhaps eight or ten times over the years, most notably at The Canal Street Tavern in Dayton, Ohio (150~200 seats) and he never ceases to thrill and amaze.

Thanx Carpethead1 I have a Kinkade Jumbo 12string cutaway also custom made....and you?

[carpethead1]

I have a Taylor 6 String 810-CE and a RKS Custom Ruby Red Electric Guitar.

[kingrobert1st]

Is he playing a Taylor 12 string?

[carpethead1]

Yes, that is his own signature Taylor Guitar. I believe it is the LKSM-12

[Danole7]

Such a shame that an artist of this calibre does not enjoy the same success as mainstream artists he is a one man band play,sing and make it look so easy my favourite song of he's is Whine i thik that is the name of it off the album balance.I am forever jealous of those of you who have seen him live.

[AfricamAddict]

Thanks for posting all these! Some of the best quality video I've seen on here. I LOVE Leo. Used to go see him every year when he came to the Paramount in Austin. An amazing artist! And his stories crack me up!

[cbeck62]

True genius from top to bottom.

What a guy. I love the way he plays right

through the distractions, screaming kids and all, without a hint of frustration.

..a wonderful performer.

"Ring Ring

Voices Ring

With a happy tune

Anybody can be a singer."

Love it

[ROCKFINGVIDEOS]

Reminds me of one of those talented people at an AA meeting...Love Leo. Yeah, right on!

[ROCKFINGVIDEOS]

Leo was a bright spot in the era of Fing gay disco schtuff...Rock on Fing Leo!

[leats1]

Just saw Leo in Kent, Ohio. A packed house of devotees who hummed along, and newcomers who watched and listened in amazement. I so wanted to be able to experience the concert again. So thank you, thank you, thank you, Carpethead.

[somewhere59]

It is a pity that one cannot jump in videos here ...

[goldfortone]

Beautiful! I love those bizarre stories. They are at least as good as his guitar playing and his compositions.

[martinaxman]

He cracks me up. I used to wait for his albums so I could readthe backs. Check Ice Water and My feet are Smiling if you want a laugh. Leo is the greatest!

[murrmac]

Thank you for posting all these videos.

I first saw Leo Kottke in 1974, in the George Square Theatre in Edinburgh, in an Arts Council sponsored concert. I had never heard of him before that.

He was absolutely spellbinding, and his performance that night inspired me to resume playing fingerpicked acoustic guitar.

He is a true master of the fingerpicked guitar, along with Tommy Emmanuel, Martin Simpson, Doyle Dykes, and Tony McManus.

Thanks again for your work in posting these videos.

[brhume]

Thank you so much for posting this concert. Every time that I see Leo perform, I know that I'm in the presence of true genius. His musical talent has provided inspiration to me probably second only to the Beatles over the years.

For the last song "Rings", do a search here for "leo kottke rings" to find a wonderful story and performance from someone's camcorder - a 1988 performance with no gray...
