Leon oozed talent and soul. One of the most underappreciated musicians of our time.

This is one of my favorite performances from Leon Russell & Friends. The simplicity, the effortlessness...He's just the epitome of cool.

Leon has so much soul, it's ridiculous. This dude was an artist. He swings on the simplest songs. His piano grooves, and song intros , just kick me in the guts (in a great way) every single time. Thanks so much for this video.

Leon looks like he's really having a good time here.

Living in a theater commune in Memphis summer of '73. Down at the performance space early one morning walking across the parking lot behind to the workshop hungover, nearly run over by Leon and Nix in Russell's Rolls. Fond memory.

After all these years. I still lust this man xoxo

Leon's eyes...

I just have to thank God first for giving us this great American music phenomenon Leon Russell, who for me was one of the best singers in the state of Tulsa and in the entire world.

I remember this show came on several times on PBS... '71, '72, etc. and each time I dropped everything to watch/listen to it. Going to see Leon in an intimate setting in October; can't wait. Last time he was at his zenith ('72)....

This is amazing. It brings back so many memories. So glade I lived through this period. Saw Leon and the MDogs, several times wow. And the backup singers-what a force of nature.

A True Superstar LEON RUSSELL Rock n Roll in Heavenly Peace my brother!

leon lover- true dat. he's the best. absolute genius.

I've been searching for this video since it aired on PBS in 1971. It was called Full Circle and also featured a segment with Cat Stevens. If the whole show is ever available on DVD I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

Great to finally see Don Nix after 40 years of listening to his Living By the Days album and LOVING it.

Whenever I hear or see Leon my heart races and I get this great big grin in my face!!!! Oooh la la Leon!!!!💕

Sure had a lot of soul!

He was beautiful, wasn't he? My best friend and I saw Mad Dogs & Englishmen when we were kids and she fell in love with his beautiful long fingers. She passed away 5 years ago, and it's really too bad that she was never able to watch these videos on youtube.

Love this song and his rendition of it!! Great harmonica too!

Leon needs to be in the RRHOF in his lifetime. Even if he doesn't get in, he is in it in his fan's hearts. I hope he knows how thankful people are for his music.

Leon is the 🍋 in Carolyn's sweet lemonade. No one better

He had it...big time

Leon is so cute singing this song.

This is bloody FANTASTIC!!!

I just can't get enough of these "Leon Russell & Friends" videos. I'm in love :O)

Beautiful is the word for Leon. There's just something magnetic about him. I had never heard of him before seeing this so long ago, but it made a life-long fan out of me. If I come across finding it on DVD I will be sure to post.

Thank you for posting this. I saw Leon for the first time last year, but I've been listening to him since the 70's. Seeing him only made me hunger for more.

Good old Jimmy Reed song

Great song and great performance. I just find out, how Leon is awesome. It ´s crazy, that some "older" musicians can make fainted a young girls like me :-))

Def a favorite, so dayum good!!!!

Have to listen to this one every day. Sooooo nice and rocking!

Thank you.

Great song!

leon one of the biggest rock and roller.............good evening

Yeah baby

Carolyn can't wait to sing with Leon soon

Play one for Jimmy Reed!!! That's about right.

Leon has so much soul, it's ridiculous. This dude was an artist. He swings on the simplest songs. His piano grooves, and song intros , just kick me in the guts (in a great way) every single time. Thanks so much for this video. You GDead bashing fools are pathetic. The Dead also did this song up right in the late 60's and early 70's when Pigpen sang it.. He was a great Jimmy Reed fan.

Top notch.

They seem to be playing in steady rollin' Tulsa Time!

This is great stuff!! THANKS!

LOVE LEON!! THE MAN!! xoxo

Love that bass.

RIP my brotha

I like this music and LeonRussell - stary dobry rock, stare ale wspaniae wspomnienia

Thank the Lord for KZfaq because I love Leon but there's very little video on the guy.

Leon Is The MAN!

RIP Leon

Best version I've heard of this one since Pigpen sang it in the Grateful Dead!

Thanks for these.

Una leyenda del rock con su excelente interpretación verygood

LOOK OUT! Leon gets bopped in the nose by Emily at the end🙀

les américains sont les rois de l, armonica .. ça c, est sur 🎵🎵🎵🇲🇨

sorry for his lost

Excellence

An inspired performance!!

RIP

Bad recording for such a great son. I guess it was the times. Wish it could be cleaned up.

Yep.

Genius

Too bad Leon and Joe didn't get along. They needed each other for the best music. Mad dogs tour proved this.

Classic!

Sorry to say but when this first aired my first real girlfriend left me because she found me with another girl and I watch this show with guilt and tears in my eyes...Sorry and loved you Jody

I also have that same disease.

Yeah, Watch Out!

Great song If It Wasn't for Bad on youtube now, for his album the Union with Elton

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? Can't you hear me when I call? Well you ain't so big, you know you're just tall that's all.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ace!

harmonica solo stunk. but i like how he thows his hands up pritty mutch cuz it was the rong key. got it at the end though

@DeluxeKC And he had already done Mad Dogs and Englishmen AND the Concert for Bangladesh!

It was called Homewood Tonight when it aired here. Many guests, but no Cat Stevens on this episode.

This is from Dec 1970

I like how he says to the harmonica player "play this one for Jimmy Reed"

the harmonica player looks like dickie betts?

Steve Miller did this too. Very good. A bit different.

Don Nix

I don't know what it is...but i have the same disease!

Yeeehaaahw Almost as good as Pigpen

RIP PIGPEN.....Is that Papa John Phillips on harp?

Is that Don Nix playing the harmonica?

Who's that on the mouth harp? That's always been a staple of mine, but this guy looks familiar...

Is Furry there? Can't remember if I was or not, LOL! It was focking Memphis in 1971, y'all!

You just talk that's all...

Somebody take that buzz out of the background audio!!!!

@thesatanas666....obviously you know diddly squat about music,so what are you even doin` on this videos site !!!!!!!!

Leon does an astounding job with this song but that harp player just sucks big time. That shit was pitiful...

RIP
