This long unavailable sold out1988 performance at Toronto Bathurst St.Theatre has been restored to feature Leos entire performance.
You can play the concert with just the music or with Leo between songs doing the Kottke humor thing.As it says on the back of the DVD case:At home in Minnesota Leo takes us on a tour of some of his favorite spots:the Basement,the Garage,the Backyard,the Porch and Crystal Lake.
The highlight of the basement is the room where bad guitars go to.
He also does a brief tour of Gruhn Guitar in Nashville.
You can catch a backstage song with Leo and the late great Michael Hedges.Hedges has an 0 sized little guitar with silk strings and he makes it sings.Just jaw dropping great.The guitar may be a Martin Terz.What's with the eye shadow on Hedges??
Also an impromptu jam with Chet Atkins and Doc Watson doing Last team Engine Train.Again amazing stuff.
As a comedian on Bob and Tom likes to say,Minnesota,where the introverts stare at there shoes and the extroverts stare at yours.
Go buy this DVD.You'll be happy.Better than any Dink Floyd crap.Real music for real people.Wood and steel.And emotion.Something ya can't get out of a satanistic synth!
YECH
Follow Ups:
Interested to read that Michael Hedges plays a song backstage with Kottke.I am still steamed over the fact that there are NO full-length Hedges concerts available on DVD. Just some Artist's profile stuff on VHS (no doubt, incredible, but mind you, I'm going to buy a VHS at this date, to join my collection of cassette and 8-track???).
Yeah, there are a few songs available on a Windham Hill concert DVD, but the video looks horrid.
When I queried the web site about these concerts (I first inquired over three years ago), they said that the release of Hedges' concerts was being held up by "licensing issues."
I just wish Michael hadn't crashed off that highway in California in his Mercedes . . . a terrible loss for music . . .

Cool, I'm sold. I love leo. Also, I partied with B & T a few times many years ago. I knew the guy who did the layout for their CDs(PJ). Really cool, genuinely good guy who lived in Broadripple. Jesus, that was 20 years ago. Anyway, I know I'm rambling so I'll go to bed now.
