Whether playing his own songs or doing covers like this, Leon was,is and will always be AMAZING!!!

@asap3d Oh yeah, and a sexy smile it is...check out "Alcatraz" some of the Mad Dogs and Englishmen videos, some of the ones with Willie Nelson.....there are many.

This song is way cool.

Love love love this song, my dad used to play it in the early 70 s in our Manchester terrace. An inspirational track..

Amusing comments here. "leon blows george away" "all things must pass filler track". one must lead one must follow, leon follows. Interesting cover but lacks the subtlety of the original.

[SkeebWilcox]

One of the ONLY great cover versions in rock and roll history! Leon blows George away...

[CattailsandRoses]

I love when he says "Watch out!" and then tears up the keyboards. When he does a cover of someone else's song it is Leonized....

I love this bloody song; Leon does it again !!! Bravo.

@bullysmom74 I have seen Leon many times.. I live in Oklahoma, Leons state of mind. He will be playing at our state fair this year for free concert. I am planning to see him for one more time! Has always been a different drummer than most other players in the Music game. Will always be in my heart!

@ hey judecreek2, you are soooo right, leon is one of the most accomplished keyboardist ever known and also a great guitar man. he is just great, period, pity the people who haven't heard him and don't know who he is.....he will be in my town in September at the college. wish we could keep him.

What a searing dramatic cover...the first class emotive signature voice, the triple layer of keyboards from the tinkling honkytonk to the piercing organ, and the polyrhythmic percussives...jeez, he took this All Things Must Pass filler track and brought it up to full glory. Indeed a great clear version; good going sunnychopper82!
