i was lucky enough to see this at the nuart theater in santa monica on 16mm and larger than life. hands down one of the best live events committed to record. leon russell falling down drunk and still able to keep it pro the whole time, some whacked out cajun fiddler who resembled ray davies wearing a red austin powers kind of mod jacket with the frilly white neck, and, amazingly for a 4th of july event in texas, not s single flag in sight: no lone star, no stars and stripes and no rebel flag. leave it to willie to create that vibe.

the only thing missing on stage is all of Badfinger on acoustic guitars, ala The Concert for Bangladesh
