It's about time the BBC asked Leo to drop in when next he tours the UK a) because we need another good fix of Leo and b) because I don't think there's much in the BBC archive other than this Old Grey Whistle test footage. A big thank you for posting this. Made my day.
@Twoosy I used to play with fingerpicks. They are not worthwhile. Just use nails, or flesh. If you are worried about them breaking, get a thin layer of acrylic on top. What if you get accustomed to a set of fingerpicks like I did! And then you lose them on an air flight! And you can't find them anywhere!!! You're screwed!!!

Great performance! Thank's for uploading. That taped soundhole pickup gives it a very sophisticated touch...

Not for me, but be warned, Leo had to stop using them and whished he never had started. Google on Leo Kottke fingerpicks to read about it.

Plus they're horrible for your circulation.
