Description

This release features a double helping of Leon Russell in concert in the seventies – half of it extremely rare and half previously unreleased. Leon Russell s profile has recently been raised as he was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and he enjoyed equal billing with Elton John on the pair s 2010 album The Union . Elton and Leon subsequently performed live together to great acclaim. The first nine tracks were recorded at Tokyo s Budokan Hall in November 1973. These were previously released on a Japanese-only LP and have never before been released on CD. The other seven tracks were recorded at a concert in Houston in April 1971 and have never been released before in any form.
