Home & Away Revisited (2006)

This DVD is filled with brilliant artistry and offbeat stories reflecting Leo Kottke's unique view of the world. This previously unavailable sold-out 1988 performance at Toronto's Bathurst St. Theater has been restored to feature Leo's entire performanc

It's OK.

This DVD is a concert basically with other interviews spread throughout. I was looking for someone to wow me with their talent. I don't quite get that. He just kinda plays whatever he wants, whatever comes naturally. He speaks very calmy and tries to put himself as a basic guy. May 28, 2008

Leo is awesome

Home and Away is a classic video for the Leo Kottke fan, I have seen him in concert 7 times and this video has all the elements and music that makes him so special. A must buy for the guitarist. January 1, 2008

Entertaining and highly impressive

Usually I do not care much for taped performances. I find them annoying and more than once seeing the artist 'live' is a disappointment. Not so with this Leo Kottke dvd!
In this dvd Kottke does not only show his incredible skills as a composer and professional guitarist, but the interviews that have been cut into the recorded performance show an extremely funny Kottke at home, in his car, in a guitar shop and (quite funny) in his basement with 'bad guitars'. This makes the video not only a true pleasure to watch and listen to, but also highly entertaining. For the duration of the video that is great, but I must admit I feel sorry for Leo's son whom he quotes saying: 'Dad, is this another one of your jokes...' November 7, 2007

Excellent "Inside Look" at Kottke

Great closeups of technique useful for players and a good "inside" look at the man as a person and how this reflects in the music....especially his quirky sense of humor. A little dated now but still a wonderful resource for Leo Kottke fans. August 16, 2007

Kottke baby one more time

After seeing the ever impressive Leo Kottke in concert many times in Australia. The last twenty years have been a search for one such video/DVD to complement my record and CD collection. Apart from the extra features such as snipets with Doc Watson and Chet Atkins, Leo's quirky humour is translated in his cameo interviews.

Straight up the DVD is simply a private concert in your own home and a memory that is being viewed on your TV. What more could you want. Also cheaper than a ticket to a show.
