Amen Leland. I was number eleven in the nineteen seventy two draft. Number seven in the seventy three pull. Our generation stopped to war. I will never forget that. And as for the people and the steps. You don't edit these too much henceforth all the walking. I love the tours i've been in half these venues. These bits will be great.They already are
Thank you Leland for another venue tour. We are both the age when we had to confront a realization that we could not support. Doris and I had spent the early Spring of 1965 at the University of Nevada Reno doing the paper work to immigrate to Canada. It was completed in July ’65 and our next step would be to report to the Canadian Embassy in San Francisco. On the 26th of August 1965, in the early morning, President Lyndon Johnson announced that August 26, 1965 would be the last day to have marriage be an exemption to the draft. With a wink and a nod Doris and I married that Thursday, August 26th 1965 at 18:00 PDT By Justice Beamer in the Reno Courthouse. People from all over The Unite States were attempting to be married by the end of the day. This year we will celebrate our 59th anniversary together with a great story and life together to tell. ☮
I love your personality, your music and your kindness Lee. I don t have to agree with your politics to still love the channel. Some of us think voting blue would be catastrophic and will be proudly voting red! But we can still be friends because we are Americans!
Anyone who knows knife making and cutlery knows that abrasion from sharpening stones are what keeps a blade sharp. Good argument is what keeps our thoughts sharp.
THANK YOU Lee for speaking out. I normally don't talk politics (unless it is a politics channel) because of the blow back but this is going to be one of the most consequential elections in our history and if you love this country and democracy there is only ONE choice.. vote blue!!
I enjoy it so much when Lee opens the door to a giant room full of unorganized stuff, as it lowers my anxiety when I look at my stacks and shelves of unorganized stuff.
Hello lee. You’re so right. War has only benefited the ones in power and we the “normal” people have to suffer. That story about your friends was heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing. Bit by bit we get to know you better. Greetings friend.
concerning the memorial shown in lee's video: as a european i have to say thanks a thousand times to all US-service men and to the fallen ones among them for having liberated europe in WW2. the sacrifices of the US were huge and i can't express in words how thankful i am for the consciousness and the courage you, the people of america, have showed when reacting to fascism and the holocaust in a overwhelming (D-day) and victorious manner. what would have happened, if the nazis were given free way to realize the europe of their dreams? i don't dare to think about it. this shall never happen again. not in europe and not anywhere else. thank you once more.

Hi Lee!! You and I are friends. We may have opposing positions on some things but I totally respect your right to your opinions and I am sure you respect mine. The Viet Nam war was simply awful! I spent a year there and thankfully made it back. That we lost 58,000 in that mess is unthinkable!!!! I tried to avoid all that after losing my college deferment but wasn't able to. I lost several high school friends there. Anyway Lee our love of music and our respect for each others beliefs and opinions will always come first for me!!! Good luck with the rest of the tour my friend!!!! Bob Love
I have been working since I was 16, went to a University for a year and quit. I worked with combat vets in four Unions and three different wars. What I learned is the price paid is woven into their persona if not their souls. They are veterans in more ways than thought.

@@DuckDuckWaddle0 My uncle and my mother’s close brother fought in World War ll and was in D Day and never spoke of it.

Really looking forward to your video from Wolf Trap. One of the coolest (shed) venues I’ve ever been to. Really enjoying these behind the scenes tours! Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing your discussion with Brad. I'm Canadian on the Michigan border and worked with a couple of draft dodgers, although I'm a bit younger. Older friends of mine used to go to Port Huron (by your favourite city Detroit) and chase women, and it was a really bad time even here. The entire Vietnam thing was poison, as is Gaza now. Thanks again for your honesty over your wool allergy, but you would have been welcome in little old Southwestern Ontario.
After your Columbus gig I dreamed this morning the state of Ohio required me to show up at work again to receive my disability check at 69 years old. That's why I moved to Thailand 24 years ago due to I couldn't afford the USA. First thing I saw today was your Phil tour "Always" post". Tough to type with tears in my eyes. Being able to go with the band to all the venues defiantly makes my day. Happy day from the mango farm.
Thank you Leland Sklar not only for all you have done here over the years, but too for yesterday’s comment. The response at this moment has over 250 comments and most have been showing the best of our potential to face the many difficult issues ahead for not only a particular nation but for the one planet in our solar system that supports life as we know it. ☮💚
Good for you for expressing yourself about the Viet Nam war tragedy and the current situation. There is hope now that everything will get better and that the real enemies of the state will fail again in their efforts to drag our country back into the past instead of forward into a successful future for all Americans.

Thank you for taking a stand I remember the sixties and they weren't fun to a certain degree. I saw you the last time you were in Pittsburgh at the same venue you guys are really good thanks for the great show tell Lou Christie's brother said hello Lou is another Pittsburgh guy
I'm back again. (Oh god, this guy again?!) I've been enjoying these videos since I just happened upon one a few weeks ago. I love this stuff, what a great little series. One thing I keep thinking is that they all seem to be afternoon waiting for soundcheck, which is cool. On the other hand, though, I keep thinking that people see the whole thing when everything is ready to go. It would be really good if there was something different, which is showing everything leading to there, from opening the truck door and starting to load in, just to show people what an enormous amount of work it all is (and even with local stagehands helping, a load of work and long day).
@@splashesin8 Ah, OK, thank you! Maybe I'll find that (I love these videos). Even though this is nothing like some big arena tour, there is still a huge amount of work, and it would be nice to see something that really shows that for people to appreciate what a long day at work people have. (PS- If Lee happens to read this, I'm mildly curious, how many local stagehands do you have helping when you roll in?)
@@JohnEaganMediausually about 10 local hands working with our guys. We are not there for the load in and after the show we do a meet and greet and most of the work is done by the time we finish.
@@lelandsklar6363 Right, I figure you and the other band don't arrive inside until setup is about done. (I would be sleeping during load in if I was in the band!) A lot of stuff, but not like some shows. I'm guessing the tour isn't carrying your own lighting, and maybe the FOH speakers and amps are house systems or local hire? Contrast-a few years ago I was a local stagehand for a Trans Siberian Orchestra show. 19 trucks, morning call was 6 AM, load out finished around 2 AM I think. GAWD. Oh, and I was told it was 100+ local stagehands on top of a HUGE TSO crew. Madness! (Edit-Actually, on second thought, from what I see, you and the band probably set yourselves up, except the piano, although your setup probably takes about 10 minutes (small and simple good!).)
I'm feeling that same hope, Lee. Been a while. Please keep up the great vids! I do love it when you see an "authorized personnel only" and head right for it without stopping. You are always authorized in my book, brother. Keep on opening those doors!
What a lovely memorial, Lee! 🙏🥰 🫡 Funny, my father and I are both allergic to wool, too. 😜 Nice venue here! Love you bunches and bunches!! ❤🥰🎸🎶🎵👋 Hi Brad!! 🎷🎵🎶🥰👋

I have certain allergies, and laundry detergent is one of them. I also have uncles, and other relatives who fought in World War 2, and in the Korean War. My uncles made it back from those wars. My grandfather was in World War 1, and in some other war before that, when he was still living in Galicia, which was by the Polish, and Ukrainan border, before he and his wife, and 3 of their children came to Canada, in the mid 1920s. I still have relatives in Ukraine, and it's sad to see what's happening over there. Ukrainan is part of my mixed Slavic ancestry. My maternal grandfather, left Poland, before World War 1, and he came to North America, in 1914, because he knew things wouldn't be good if he remained in Poland. There are certain wars, such as the Vietnam War, and I can't understand why it happened. This is a nice looking venue. I wish Maureen all the best. Cheers, Leland! 🙏✌️
Both my maternal and paternal mother and father came from the same part of the world, I am a first American born with my extended family's living in Canada, South Africa, and parts unknown. An immigrant can't be choosy.
How wonderful it seems everything is nice and together as far as sporting venues performing arts outdoors, activities, lovely sites. I’ve never been there very patriotic looking.
Lee - Ain’t it just amazing how some folks capable of hearing and loving great, inspirational music are NOT capable of seeing what an obvious fraud the orange menace is? Thank you for your activism, man. That same love comes through in your music!
Really, why do you film stairs and hallways? He obviously doesn't know you're one take Lee. There's no pause, no edits, it's a stream of conscience. I love what you do. You're an intrepid film maker.
What a wonderful rant! And not even really a rant-you were so even-tempered. And right. I think you’re home by now. Hope all went, and is going, well. Thank you for all the behind-the-scenes tour, stairs and all. So many cool venues we’d never see otherwise.

Hey Lee you're an American. That makes you qualified to rant on about whatever you want. God bless you man. By the way I'm just a few younger than you , and when it was my time to sweat it out , something new was introduced. The draft lottery. I think like this had existed before. Our birthdays were printed on ping pong balls and placed in a giant bingo machine. My older brothers birthday came up #68 and the following year my birthday came up #355. Neither us were drafted and we didn't join either. It wasn't the right or just war.
Lee, I was a conscientious objector during Nam. Three times I got orders to report for duty since my lottery number was 17. All three time they were cancelled - twice because I was appealing my denial of the CO and the third time Nixon brought the troops home, ended the war and the draft.
There are too many people around now that declare "Freedom of Speech" until you say something they don't agree with, then its "Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about!" We'd be much better served if we could have a conversation about issues and concerns and agree to disagree sometimes rather than try to silence and hate those that have a different point of view.
I 💙 you Lee!!! Here's to hoping that "The Handmaid's Tale" remains a cautionary tale of fiction, as opposed to a societal blueprint! I want to say that you played the outdoor side of that venue a year or two ago. I remember you starting the walk through outside the last time and discovering the indoor portion. It started looking familiar when you were looking out the window where you found Brad.
I remember remarking to my Sister, years ago at a JT show, "There's just something about seeing Leland on stage that lets you know, you will be in good hands tonight." Oh if I had only known you were walking the streets of our fair city... dammit. Good show to you Sir, Pittsburgh loves you. (Note the H in Pittsburgh, the only time it's spelled that way. One of a kind, just like you.)
Lee, the Dusquesne Incline is really cool, nifty little neighborhood up there too. Friend of mine who's 83 now served in Vietnam said his proudest achievement is that the guys who were under him all came home.
Its Lee's site- He can say whatever the f[ck he wants. And for those of you who insist that Lee shouldn't say anything political, p]ss off.
I’m glad we still live in a country where a man can have a view, and not pay a price for having it! Hope it continues for another 250 years!
So glad you expressed your commitment to democracy & freedom! All musicians unite! Vote Blue 💙 Peace & Love from Canada

I'm back again. (Oh god, this guy again?!) I've been enjoying these videos since I just happened upon one a few weeks ago. I love this stuff, what a great little series. One thing I keep thinking is that they all seem to be afternoon waiting for soundcheck, which is cool. On the other hand, though, I keep thinking that people see the whole thing when everything is ready to go. It would be really good if there was something different, which is showing everything leading to there, from opening the truck door and starting to load in, just to show people what an enormous amount of work it all is (and even with local stagehands helping, a load of work and long day).
Go back in time and you'll find some piano loading and unloading, etc. ;)
@@splashesin8 Ah, OK, thank you! Maybe I'll find that (I love these videos). Even though this is nothing like some big arena tour, there is still a huge amount of work, and it would be nice to see something that really shows that for people to appreciate what a long day at work people have. (PS- If Lee happens to read this, I'm mildly curious, how many local stagehands do you have helping when you roll in?)
@@JohnEaganMedia There's a video with Yogi, that's very good about that as well.
@@JohnEaganMediausually about 10 local hands working with our guys. We are not there for the load in and after the show we do a meet and greet and most of the work is done by the time we finish.
@@lelandsklar6363 Right, I figure you and the other band don't arrive inside until setup is about done. (I would be sleeping during load in if I was in the band!) A lot of stuff, but not like some shows. I'm guessing the tour isn't carrying your own lighting, and maybe the FOH speakers and amps are house systems or local hire? Contrast-a few years ago I was a local stagehand for a Trans Siberian Orchestra show. 19 trucks, morning call was 6 AM, load out finished around 2 AM I think. GAWD. Oh, and I was told it was 100+ local stagehands on top of a HUGE TSO crew. Madness! (Edit-Actually, on second thought, from what I see, you and the band probably set yourselves up, except the piano, although your setup probably takes about 10 minutes (small and simple good!).)
Right on brother, keep preaching the truth!!
I'm feeling that same hope, Lee. Been a while. Please keep up the great vids! I do love it when you see an "authorized personnel only" and head right for it without stopping. You are always authorized in my book, brother. Keep on opening those doors!
What a lovely memorial, Lee! 🙏🥰 🫡
Funny, my father and I are both allergic to wool, too. 😜
Nice venue here!
Love you bunches and bunches!! ❤🥰🎸🎶🎵👋
Hi Brad!! 🎷🎵🎶🥰👋
Thanks Lee!!!!! Cool Area...Neat Venue!!!!
Welcome to Pittsburgh. I hope you guys had a great show. Stage A E is a cool venue. I’ve seen quite a few shows there. Safe travels!
You have a platform...use it! Thank you for supporting democracy over a MAGA dictatorship. Vote Blue.
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
This venue is owned by the same company as yesterday's. It's the Anschutz Entertainment Group.
Thanks Mark ☮️ 🧙🏼♂️ 👍

Glad it’s indoors since it’s humid …safe travels & stay hydrated.
I have certain allergies, and laundry detergent is one of them.
I also have uncles, and other relatives who fought in World War 2, and in the Korean War. My uncles made it back from those wars. My grandfather was in World War 1, and in some other war before that, when he was still living in Galicia, which was by the Polish, and Ukrainan border, before he and his wife, and 3 of their children came to Canada, in the mid 1920s.
I still have relatives in Ukraine, and it's sad to see what's happening over there.
Ukrainan is part of my mixed Slavic ancestry.
My maternal grandfather, left Poland, before World War 1, and he came to North America, in 1914, because he knew things wouldn't be good if he remained in Poland.
There are certain wars, such as the Vietnam War, and I can't understand why it happened.
This is a nice looking venue. I wish Maureen all the best. Cheers, Leland! 🙏✌️
Both my maternal and paternal mother and father came from the same part of the world, I am a first American born with my extended family's living in Canada, South Africa, and parts unknown. An immigrant can't be choosy.
My fathers family was from Odessa and my mothers side is Polish.
Evening Lee and all

Thanks, Lee. I enjoyed the video.
Music needs MORE politics, you are great Lee for always taking a stance.
Vote Blue!!❤❤
everyone is qualified to talk politics -thanks Le
How wonderful it seems everything is nice and together as far as sporting venues performing arts outdoors, activities, lovely sites. I’ve never been there very patriotic looking.
Lee - Ain’t it just amazing how some folks capable of hearing and loving great, inspirational music are NOT capable of seeing what an obvious fraud the orange menace is? Thank you for your activism, man. That same love comes through in your music!
Would like to know the capacity of the venues.
Appreciate your “rant” Lee, appreciate _you_
Really, why do you film stairs and hallways? He obviously doesn't know you're one take Lee. There's no pause, no edits, it's a stream of conscience. I love what you do. You're an intrepid film maker.
I got your book today Lee. I love it😂
What a wonderful rant! And not even really a rant-you were so even-tempered. And right.
I think you’re home by now. Hope all went, and is going, well.
Thank you for all the behind-the-scenes tour, stairs and all. So many cool venues we’d never see otherwise.

So glad you're inside and have A/C. Now you just need D/C 😮. A nit picky point, we're now on track to stay on track. Old handsome Joe did more good in 4 years than any Prez in our lifetime. Love and Thanks ❤👍❤👍
@hanspeterlillese2225 Will be going to Oshkosh Saturday with my youngest son and his oldest, 13, son. Hope to have pics and vids.
Early on for Lee's channel he had a vid of him flying in or with a P-51. Did you see that?
Hi Tom.
Yeah sure that's why your party is kicking him out 😂
@@debbiekelley7899 Why are you here?
Hey Lee you're an American. That makes you qualified to rant on about whatever you want. God bless you man. By the way I'm just a few younger than you , and when it was my time to sweat it out , something new was introduced. The draft lottery. I think like this had existed before. Our birthdays were printed on ping pong balls and placed in a giant bingo machine. My older brothers birthday came up #68 and the following year my birthday came up #355. Neither us were drafted and we didn't join either. It wasn't the right or just war.
You do you. We all gotta do blue.
@@sampate4323 that's cause we are in the USA and all have a voice, as long as we can keep it. More at stake than r's and d's.
what a cool venue and such chilled vibes
Nice spot today…felt like I had to take a shower after yesterday’s joint 😅Safe travels
Thank you Leland!
I agree with you totally Lee!
Lee, I was a conscientious objector during Nam. Three times I got orders to report for duty since my lottery number was 17. All three time they were cancelled - twice because I was appealing my denial of the CO and the third time Nixon brought the troops home, ended the war and the draft.
Good work! ☮
There are too many people around now that declare "Freedom of Speech" until you say something they don't agree with, then its "Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about!" We'd be much better served if we could have a conversation about issues and concerns and agree to disagree sometimes rather than try to silence and hate those that have a different point of view.
@@sampate4323 Weerent you leaving?
Oh no, you didnt, because you crave the attention, maybe nobody loves you at home, who knows...
Agree with the rant. We need more not less truth.
When you're walking on stairs, i'm right there almost for real - thank you for all your filming and posting, Leland!!
I 💙 you Lee!!! Here's to hoping that "The Handmaid's Tale" remains a cautionary tale of fiction, as opposed to a societal blueprint!
I want to say that you played the outdoor side of that venue a year or two ago. I remember you starting the walk through outside the last time and discovering the indoor portion. It started looking familiar when you were looking out the window where you found Brad.
glad to have you in the burgh sir
On tour with Lee... LOVE IT!!
That place looks like a shopping mall and sounds like one too.
That was the most uplifting rant. If you can find a way to be hopeful, I can too.
Thanks Lee ✌🏻
I remember remarking to my Sister, years ago at a JT show, "There's just something about seeing Leland on stage that lets you know, you will be in good hands tonight." Oh if I had only known you were walking the streets of our fair city... dammit. Good show to you Sir, Pittsburgh loves you. (Note the H in Pittsburgh, the only time it's spelled that way. One of a kind, just like you.)
You were fantastic! We were in row J. We love Lyle too. Peace, Sir.
Lee, the Dusquesne Incline is really cool, nifty little neighborhood up there too.
Friend of mine who's 83 now served in Vietnam said his proudest achievement is that the guys who were under him all came home.
