Liked this video a lot. I first heard Leon when I was 16 in 1974. I loved all I could find. Every weekend I went to the swap meet at the Orange drive in theater in Orange County CA.. First thing I always did was track down the vendors selling bootleg albums and look first for a select few bands. Leon was one of the must find artists along with Bowie, Neil Young and New York Dolls. All my friends thought my music choices were lame and refused to entertain them. The funny thing is all those friends of long ago along with about 90+% of kids back then now claim how much they were influenced those artists among others. I couldn't and still don't understand how after listening to Leon they didn't want to hear more. It was nice to see Elton show all how wonderful and special Leon's music is before he passed. RIP Leon and thanx for all the great times you gave.
