OU: This superb show has unfortunately never been released. The source is supposedly an FM simulcast,but I don't believe it as the sound quality is a bit better than FM. This is from one of the many early bootleg vinyl pressings that were put out at the time,but is not from the Zerocks Records release that is the most common. The sound quality on that release was not as good as the Bush Records vinyl, so the Bush Records vinyl was used instead. A lot of restoration work went into this project.
The track listing on all releases is wrong,this is the correct setlist:
01 Will the Circle Be Unbroken (02:31)
02 Caravan (02:59) (the Van Morrison Caravan,that is)
03 It Takes A Lot To Laugh,It Takes A Train To Cry (05:19)
04 Delta Lady (04:00)
05 A Song For you (04:16)
06 Furry's Blues (02:30)
07 Amos Burke (02:51)
08 Honky Tonk Woman (03:26)
09 Sweet Emily (03:23)
10 Prince Of Peace (03:32)
11 Girl Of The North Country (02:41)
12 Big Boss Man 03:11)
13 Georgia Queen (03:04)(A.K.A. Crystal Closet Queen)
14 So Strange (02:21)
Another Note: The outro at the end of So Strange was taken from the Zerocks Records release,it doesn't appear on the Bush version. The Furry who sings Furry's Blues is the same Furry who Joni Mitchell wrote a song about (Furry Sings The Blues). As the story goes,the old man gave his permission at first,then sued her when the song became more popular.
Originally aired in 1971 on PBS,actually KCET,in Los Angeles at the Vine Street Theater on Hollywood and Vine,a theater with a little studio in the back part of the building, which is not there anymore. They actually shot 6 hours but only broadcast 1 hour, unscripted and unrehearsed.
It was the first national "stereo" rock-and-roll TV broadcast that's why Leon agreed to do it.
From Wikipedia: KPPC-FM was the first station in Los Angeles to broadcast a stereo simulcast with a television station. (A one hour program with 'Leon Russell and Friends' in collaboration with PBS station KCET),and the first to broadcast with Sansui quadraphonic sound. It was also the first FM station in Los Angeles to use two transmitters simultaneously to produce sufficient power.
