RIP Leon. I wish I would have seen you live. But here's a funny tale that's seldom told. It's the day that Leon and the Dead were to play together in 1976.
It was to be a Tribute to the Apache. But it didn't happen. It was a fraud.
A great review of the show is http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2013/11/27/happy-thanksgiving-doug-sahm-and-friends-austin-tx-1972/
