Homewood Sessions
Emily bakes a cake! Meanwhile, Tulsa meets Hollywood. Hollywood is never the same again! Okies rock the house and mayhem ensues.
From the video,
Leon Russell & Friends - "Homewood Sessions"
Live at Vine Street Theater, Hollywood, California, USA.
-or-
"Vine Street Theater presents Homewood"
Originally aired in 1971 on PBS, actually KCET in Los Angeles at the Vine Street Theater on Hollywood and Vine, a theater with a little studio in the back part of the building, which is not there anymore. They shot 6 hours, but only broadcast 1 hour, unscripted and unrehearsed.
It was the first national "stereo" rock-and-roll TV broadcast - that's why Leon agreed to do it.
