This guy wonders why he is often mistaken for Leon Russell. Can't imagine why.

Backstage recording. It's a 16 minute low-res WMV but it's worth it. Enjoy the concert:

Set list? Did he do anything from "Carny", my favorite Leon Russell album of all time?

I loved Leon back in the 60s and 70s. My complaint was always that his LPs were too short - you'd be lucky to get 15 minutes a side, and 12 was common. Damned fine music, though. Especially loved his double live album (Leon Live).
