1. Leon Russell!

:headbang:

[Demoiselle]

7. Once again I'll bore you all with tales of my youth...

I saw Mad Dogs,etc. at the Academy of Music (of all places!) in Philly. It was wonderful. WHAT A BAND!!.God knows the audience was stoned...the lovely aroma floated up from the orchestra seats to the gods.
But if Leon Russell was stoned, it only made him play better. I don't think that the dreamy eyed look in that video is any indication....he's in the ZONE, a place very famiiar to musicians, athletes and performers of all types. Leon doesn't have to look at the keyboard, his fingers know what to do.

2. And that's how XemaSabs are made...

:P

[AwakeAtLast]

3. Bill Hader (from SNL) looks just like him!

Without the hair of course.

Good link! :smoke:

[abq e streeter]

4. ya never know--that band was so tight it's hard to imagine being seriously fucked up

and still pulling that off. But yeah, 1970; good possibility that all or most of em were REAL high. But high or not, what a FUCKING INCREDIBLE band.

[Iggo]

5. Wow!

I've always wanted to get a look at the background singers. I'm surprised. I thought there'd be about a thousand of them...lol.

6. Leon looks pretty laid back

but I can't watch Joe Cocker perform without seeing John Belushi in my brain. :rofl:

[Ptah]

8. Just enough

:hippie: :smoke:

[johnnie]

9. I think that's Bobby Keys on sax too

No?

I wish I was old enough to be there..guess I was 6 when this was made
