Summary In December 1970 'Leon Russell and friends' recorded the 'Homewood Sessions' at the Vine Street Theatre in Hollywood, broadcast as an 'unscripted and unrehearsed' one-hour TV special on KCET TV (Los Angeles) and later re-broadcast several times on the Public Broadcasting System. The Vine Street Theatre had a little studio in the back part of the building where the recording was made. They actually shot six hours but only broadcast one. Claimed to be the first national broadcast of a stereo rock and roll performance, this would have required an FM simulcast, since American television was not stereo in 1970s. An extended line-up features, including: Don Nix, Claudia Linnear, Kathi McDonald, Chuck Blackwell, Jim Horn, John Gallie, Furry Lewis, Don Preston, Joey Cooper, Carl Radle and Emily - Furry Lewis is the same Furry that Joni Mitchell later wrote a song about (Furry Sings The Blues).
