What to say besides "It's great"...
This is first all live recording, though. I have many Leo Kottke cds. It is such a treat! The tracks are seperated into speaking and playing so you don't have a full minute of speaking with a song. I appreciate that.

As for Leo, he plays and sings then begins to tell a story. He gets back to playing and singing and then another story. I really enjoy hearing him be intimate with the audience as well as tear up his guitar like only a handful of people can do.

I would not get this as your first Kottke disc; buy the best of Capitol and Chrysilas discs. If you already have a disc or two, then get to know the man and understand that he can play just as well or better on stage as he does in the studio.


Of the top two Kottke albums
It's a verasitile CD with sadly only two stories told by Leo, but it's better than none. Leo Live is tied with My Feet Are Smiling for the two best Kottke albums in my opinion. It also includes the song Flattened Brain, which is oddly one of my favorite Kottke tunes, and hasn't been recorded on any other album of his. A must have CD.


simply the best
too cute for words and the picking is phemonenal as to be expected from the master of 6 and 12 string-a must have for any fan!.


Even tho I was in Boulder at this taping, I'm not biased. .
His musical talent is vast, and that talent comes shining through on this CD. This is an incredible CD! Yea, I was in Boulder at this show, and it was worth trudging through the snow to get to and from the performance that Easter evening. His story telling between songs is a wonderful insight into who he is as a person. Without those between song stories, Leo's talent makes him seem other-worldly. Hearing the personal side of this performer is a warm and welcome addition, and is why this CD is one of my favorites.


Top 5 of over 700 CDs
He is musically brilliant, hilarious and entertaining. I have over 700 cds (eclectic mix) and can say without a doubt that this is one of my favorites. What a wonderful discovery. I've introduced this CD to many friends who are now huge fans. Catch him live if you can, he is the master of the 12-string guitar.
