Was he DRUNK?
by suzgg on 3/12/13Birchmere - AlexandriaI bought tickets to see this old-man-should-retire as a Christmas present for my husband who loves him (not anymore!). We were very excited about the show as my husband had seen Leon play back in the 70's. Well let me tell you - HE SUCKED! He spent the first 15 minutes tuning his guitar. Then sang a pitiful song with very few words. He tried clowning around with his piano player who seemed at a loss with his behaviour. He went on to do some 'picking' on his guitar and then threw in a few verses here and there. He was monotonous and boring and I almost stood up and asked where the 'candid camera's' were. Seriously...this is a SHOW that he expects people to pay for??? He tuned up his guitar between each 'song' and pretty much ignored the audience. I can't believe anyone would give him a good review. After 1 hour and 15 minutes of being astounded by his boorish and disrespectful performance (we paid $70 for 2 tickets and $90 for dinner at the Birchmere), we finally got up and left. I had been looking forward to this show for months and can't tell you how disappointed we were. Never again.
