Leon Russell at Diesel in Pittsburgh, PA

8/27/10
I saw Leon Russell, recent inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, at the Diesel Club in Pittsburgh with the infamous Joseph Harry. Diesel is a lousy place to see a concert and Leon commented on the odd surroundings. Russell's vocals were appropriately scratchy and his keyboard playing was great as expected. His show now is more of a cover show than a collection of  his "greatest hits" but I still found the concert enjoyable and Russell's band is great. This is a video clip of one of Russell's hits Delta Lady. PS. Harry did NOT get thrown out of this show.
