Leo Kottke - I Yell at Traffic

[TheBobelcnu]

This song is a steel string symphony.

[ShimmyDigg]

lol @ his eyebrows.

[bluzide1]

his right hand technique is sublime

[saralicht]

What's with the puppet at the desk right as the song is starting? Amazing musician.

[MilesPittman]

Does he have only the 6th and 5th strings doubled up?

[Sointula2]

@MilesPittman I think there's all 12 there.

[ShimmyDigg]

@MilesPittman there is always all 12 there.

[joeybagadonutz23]

@MilesPittman

Yes, all the others are octaves. This is not standard tuning though, it's 2 steps down from standard so- CFBEGC with the high C and G being doubled up.

[JWHfilms]

I saw him.

[m189856]

I hate saying things are cool. But Leo Kottke is very cool.

[ShimmyDigg]

@m189856 HaHa. you said something is "cool".

[darblipner]

THanks for sharing jpiir... I saw him in Cincy at Bogarts a little after that.  THe early 90's were some of his best playing years.

[Hemail]

3:27 he missed one, you can tell when he lifts his eye brow. But hey, it's still a great job, i would have failed from the first note!

[SWJoe0]

Are you sure he missed one? Maybe he just twitched.

[Hemail]

Might be, after all he did a great job. still there is someting what made his eye brow lift.

[JDBoelter]

@Hemail Even the best drop a note once in a while outside of the studio. That's part of the pleasure of a live performance.

[Hemail]

Yep JD, i second that!

[puika1987]

This song is so mezmirizing or how do you write it :-)

[jamboliboli]

You can't write properly.

[puika1987]

sorry for bad english, its "mesmerizing"

[JesuitFarmer]

im sick of people commenting on other people's english...get it through your head, not everyone in the world has english as their first language....get over it! you understood what he/she said...and if I were to be a prick like you, I'd say that adverbs weaken sentences, you see? Pointless.

[jamboliboli]

You're now sending messages to ease the whole problem with you being annoyed by little things when you actually went to the effort to email me considering how long it was I left a message. See to be honest mate, you don't know me, and most likely don't know the person I left a message about and I'm allowed to say anything i want...please get your head out your arse and get a life. You actually sound angry online. Get a fucking life you moron.

[fbhjr68]

Did you actually read what you wrote? Total idiot. Probably never schooled.

[jamboliboli]

You're actually upset over this. I presume that when you are having a wank, you scroll through pages to find someone you think shouldn't be doing something; then it's Jesuit to the rescue! with his superior linguistic talent and clout. Fuck off you little spastic. Please get your head round the fact that this is the internet and you actually replied to my tiny little needless comment, you're the rocket here.

[JesuitFarmer]

hahaha and what are you doing? fuckin retard.

[fbhjr68]

You really are an idiot. Get to know that side of yourself.

[Hemail]

Totally agree.

[fbhjr68]

Why the fack would you criticize someone for that?  Are you angry or just stupid?

[tabber87]

Why are they applauding in the middle of the fucking song?

[Tman4000]

Because it's fantastic, and they never want it to end.

[Hemail]

Some one standing there waving a board saying "applaus" :-)

[LEWOOF]

...that seems to....  :)

[LEWOOF]

just fantastic and I love the twanging single string that seems accent absurdity of the songs title

[Tman4000]

anyone know what tuning this dudes in?

[haisija]

Looks like standard.

[Tman4000]

No, I figured it out. It's two tunings down from Standard...

[capitan39]

Loe Kottke farting??!!...I fail to see how that affects his guitar playing, furthermore, I am sure he also sweats and shits from time to time (no doubts neither you or your dad do such things)... stupid prick, what a story!!, go toss yourself

[joey3742]

dd2bu,,,fukin classic

[dd2bu]

Leo once bought a car from my dad. My dad said he farted getting in the car.

[zacharron]

I'm sure Leo would appreciate that story.

[hartabe]

coolcoolcool

[slewpi]

I Yell at Traffic, Jams :o

[RUNRUT]

A little different than the one on his Live recording, he breaks to the B section a measure sooner on the live recording, but damn close.

[kissarmy5689]

this sounds like the exact one on his live recording.... but its not...and its going on my myspace. thanks a lot for adding this!
