Leon Russell concert review
Oklahoma Jam in Oklahoma City, US
Sat, 27 Jul 1974

For me, Leon was very disappointing. For one thing, he started late, supposedly making everybody wait until they sold thousands of crummy tambourines. Then, with his gospel-type band behind him, he began to preach. At one point he said, “If you love the lord, or IF YOU LOVE ME, raise your hands.” A bit of a messiah complex, I’d say.

Sold Out outdoor concert at OKC’s 89er Stadium presented KOFM Fresh Air Rock 104.1 FM. Crowd was ecstatic with Beach Boys first return to OKC since Dpringlakr Appearance in 1965. Weather was summer hot, beer flowed, weed wafted across the swaying crowds. Leon Russell was at peak of game. Stadium shoot as Russell sang Home Sweet Oklahoma on my mind!! One of the greatest all day night outdoor concerts in Oklahoma History.
