I did hospitality for these guys on the '88 tour. I was into punk, etc. and didn't know much about them. Michael hung out with me for a couple of hours before the show and played around on the piano. He was such a nice guy, I thought I 'should" go hear him play after I cleaned up the rec hall. I sat in the balcony mesmerized and driven to tears. He was such a beautiful person.

His tour with Kottke was amazing, and their slot together was transcendent.

I had never seen Michael Hedges and Leo Kottke perform together. I love this video and am grateful to the person who posted it. Michael was his own brand of amazing. I remember the harp guitar and the flowing hair. I think "Aerial Boundaries" was the record in which I first got to know his music. Sigh.

@LeftCoastGator This is early. He looked quite new age/hippieish later. Helluva talented too. Best acoustic guitarist of last century in my opinion.
Check him out his albums are great and the live stuff on you tube is arguably better.
Peace and Luv.

It was the Bottom Line, not the Bitter End - my bad!

I saw Leo at the Palace Theater in Cleveland @ 1975 opening for the Allman Brothers! INCREDIBLE! Well, some 10+ years later, I saw him again at Carnegie Hall, this time he was opening for Michael Hedges! And they PLAYED together after Michael has gone through his pieces. Michael was ecstatic as he recounts a music critic calling the two of them "the Sun King and le Infante Terrible!" The last time I saw Michael play was at the Bitter End. He had just published Taproot, with the TransTrem guitar!

Everything I've heard about Michael suggests he was a God-given talent to this world, and we are sorely amiss to have lost him at such an early age. Loved your story, potsick. I saw Michael in concert at UC San Diego's Mandeville auditorium....I was a student there. He was simply "bigger than life".

Saw them together, must have been on this tour. Michael had this weird and wonderful double-necked "harp" guitar.
Next time Leo was in town on a typical solo tour (Michael was still alive then) Leo talked about the previous tour. Leo, dangled his left hand loosely and wiggled and shook his fingers, said, "The guy has an octopus for a left hand."
