5.0 out of 5 stars Even tho I was in Boulder at this taping, I'm not biased. ., January 2, 2002

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 musical talent is vast, and that talent comes shining through on this CD. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kottke Demands To Be Heard Live, November 25, 2000

To hear Leo Kottke live is one of life's simple pleasures. One man, one guitar (and occasional vocal) and he transports you worlds you've never been to before. His playing is simply amazing! Most of this material dates from his tenure on the Private Music label, but he does include "Bean Time" from my all-time favorite album Greenhouse.

What makes Kottke's live albums a special treat is hearing his between-song stories. His deadpan humor when he recounts his father's military experience at teaching hand-to-hand combat is a hoot. Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Leo Lives!, November 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Leo Live (Audio CD)

Leo has really matured musically since his 6 & 12 string guitar release back in the early 70's. He was so good then that it was hard to imagine that he could get any better. There is a new smoothness in his playing these days that reflects his dedication to his instrument. When I saw him perform at the Ozark Folk Festival in Eureka Springs, Arkansas recently he stated that he plays about "...80% of the time I'm awake...". It shows!!! His story-telling is at it's best here as well. Don't miss "Combat"!
