dimafleck: the living legend. Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 saw him at moe.down.....my jaw was on the ground the whole time......such a talent....and he totally sucks in a crowd.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolarGarlic Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 obviously, living in Calgary will not allow me to attend any sort of show you may be arranging, but I would say it would be a good idea. I saw him solo in Calgary a year or two ago and was impressed for sure! That guy has a hilariously dry sense of humor and he can play O.K. too The crowd here in the cow city was mainly stiff corporate types sitting in chairs with a couple of us hootin and hollerin' ...especially when he played a song he did with Gordo and mentioned cactus by name...nobody in the entire crowd new who the hell Gordo was.. Anyhow, would be a great show and I think you should go for it. You'll probably get a lot more than just your run of the mill dirties at that show as he has been around long enough to draw the, uh, ahem, OLDER crowd Cheers!

Boochawan Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I can't stop listening to the album, "Leo Live" - Massey Hall would be a great venue for him btw.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I'm not sure what he's like solo, but if it's similar to the Mike and Leo stuff, I'd be interested. Also please bring up Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFoolery Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Very into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Very into him... saw him at moe down as well. Friendly and I listened from our tents by the side of the hill and loved it. Amazing musicianship. Then, when we were treated to the accompaniment of his gravelly beautiful voice.... stunning. Agree with solar garlic on the humour factor as well... he was such a hilariously-grumpy-old-lovable-bastard. If you could bring him, that would rock.

SpaceWrangler Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I got to see Kottke this summer at a botanical garden here in Virginia. It was an awesome show, it felt extremely intimate, even outdoors. You guys will enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevil Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 One of my favorite all time guitarists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I enjoyed him at moe.down He's one helluva story teller along with guitar player. Was he ever in The Tummies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I've listened to Leo for years. Thank God for whatever college friend of his told him he should play guitar for a living. Years ago Leo played "Austin City Limits" and told his story of "Bad Jazz". He plays the theme from "Woody Woodpecker" backwards, which he played on ACL, and one of his friends said it sounded "like bad jazz" but hearing this and watching him play it knocks your head off and FUNNY!

balogna pogna Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 He is amazing! I have a 2 disc acoustic collection which is stunning, and I've heard that the new album is awesome as well. I guess since he's been hanging out with Mike he's into jamming at his shows & albums instead of just all out picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I would LOVE to see Kottke up here! (Hugh's Room?) By the way, I hear him and Cactus are soon working on a second album eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 this guy is great. i listen to the "Capital Years" compilation at least once a week and am currently burning some to send to the ladies in California. If you bring him, I will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 well if schwa's going, i'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 YES! But beware Marky, most of the people who have heard of this guy will respond to this thread. I don't know a lot of people who know Kottke. A nice small venue would suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakis Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Saw him at Moe.Down and really enjoyed it. I would go if he came, and try to get mike gordon to come along also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
