Nice! It's one of the abiding pleasures of my music-fan life that I got to see Leon in concert several times, including one last time opening for Dylan himself here in Atlanta at Chastain Park on July 28, 2011. He was so good.
this music, all that 60s and 70s music, made be take up instruments...decades later I am pretty fair as a player but the mystique and mystery of writing and playing seems to have evaporated...I guess my point is that they could do all this as young guys and, thanks to them, I can do this, finally, as an old guy...thanks to all these guys
"Missouri Arena"? Except for a six-year period (1977 to 1983) when it was called the Checkerdome (owned by Ralston Purina), the building was the St. Louis Arena.
I shot the short clip with an 8mm camera
A historic capture! Did your camera record sound as well or was that synced up later?
Sound was added later by someone else.
Thanks for recording--there's so little from this tour! Were you able to capture any other video than the one Ray included?
How difficult was it to record with security back in 1974?
This all I have, I went to both shows. They confiscated my camera before the 1st show I was able to sneak it past them for the 2nd show. I got lucky
Well, from all of us--thanks for the effort to take the risk and capture it!
Glad it’s still available, hard to believe it was 50 years ago !
Those photos are AMAZING. It kills me that no one at Columbia thought to film this tour.
Long Live Leon

Hey, I’ll see Bruce at Beatlefest in New York next weekend! Those are great pictures.
