This is a fantastic and brand new Leon SB to circulation and I was very glad to get the OK to share it. None of this is released and the portion on Wolfgang’s Vault from this run doesn’t match this and is not for sale anyway so there should be no problems with this running. This one has a bit of confusion. The info given had this dated January 21, 1971. Leon did not play the Fillmore East on that date. He did play there on May 21, 1971 and earlier in November of 1970 with Elton John. Upon a close listen, I’m pretty sure this is from one of the November 1970 shows. The arrangements and set list are really similar to the November 21, 1970 show we’ve had for years except for the song order and, at least, one song not played on the other show we had. The clincher is at the end of the second to last song [where] Leon announces Elton John and then you can clearly hear Elton announcing Leon. We already know the November 21 show has them playing together during both of their own sets and Elton was touring in Texas on the same dates as Leon’s May 21, 1971 show. I’m going with this as November 20, 1970 with a question mark. I gave them a close comparison and the versions are different for sure.
