For anyone curious, this is how I paid the bills long before I ever watched a KZread video. The folks in Europe have been wonderful to me for a long time and I'm very grateful to them. I think I first played in Leytonstone (pronounced Lay ten stone) maybe 18 years ago and they've always been a wonderful audience. Thanks for having coffee with me this morning, I have a train to catch in Birmingham. ❤

In the spirit of your travels I’m having tea this morning. But I’m in Tennessee and it’s sweet tea and they likely wouldn’t drink it.

Went to England about 6 weeks ago. The Crown in B'ham is still standing as you'll see today, still not being developed yet. Stayed in London (Earls Court area this time) but never have been to that Leytonstone station. That's pretty cool!

Leytonstone is where Damon Albarn is from!

Sitting on my front porch in a reclaimed lazy boy recliner, waiting for the rain, listening to an Otis Gibbs concert. Can it get any better?♥️😎

'Uncle' Art Satherley worked with Don Law. Art was born in Bristol, my home town in the UK; he moved to the States as a teenager, and was just as vital to the developement of Blues and Country music as Don...blew my mind when I found that out. Those are two stories that really need to be told by a good screenwriter soon. Glad thing's are going well Otis; I liked the song after 'the little girl and the bug' story a lot. Lovely tune.

I was at the gig.Absolutely brilliant.

I remember Otis. He'd appreciate your tribute. So GREAT to see YOU perform in this video 💯☺️

Sweet! The Robert Johnson / Don Law story is amazing! Sounding real good too; you're truly a lucky man Otis... Hey, I was in Birmingham in '87!

That was Beautiful Otis, thank you so much for sharing this with us! The audience totally loved you!! Safe travels!!!! 🐿️😎🐿️

Thanks Otis. This is probably as close as a poor old man from Washington State will ever get to a Gibbs concert

Otis, many thanks for a great gig in Smethwick last night... My son came out with me and was glad he did - really loved the songs and stories.... Thanks for sharing what's under your "titfer" and hope you enjoy the Charlie Poole tunes... All the best!

Otis over here we write dates a different way around might be better to write the month i.e. May 29 2024. O6/01/24 reads as January 6 2024, 06/02 is the sixth of February, 06/04 April 6th etc. Honestly only trying to help...

​@@charmandrewsMy heart skipped a beat for a moment - I thought I'd missed the Newport gig until I realised - phew

I’m sure it wasn’t lost on you that the iconic NxNW scene of Cary Grant and the crop duster is set in Indiana - happy travels!

Embarrassed to say this, have only ever listened to the stories, but boy, I really enjoyed your performance, all the way from Australia, thanks Otis❣️🎼

Loved the Don Law story, and hearing you live from across the pond is just priceless. God bless you, Otis 🙏🏻👏

Delightful... Especially the Dylan-y 7/4 in the "too young to know better, too old to change" song.

Sounding great Otis. Thank you. My Saturday morning is complete.

Absolutely brilliant, beautiful stuff!

I’ve watched this video 3 times now. It’s so good. This is how an Otis “Gibb” show feels. I’ve been to a few now. He’s funny, he’s honest and he’s kind, all before you even get to his talent and songwriting. Thanks for the Don Law info too.

I found your channel about 2 months ago and I’ve really enjoyed the stories and guests. My first time hearing you sing Otis and man it was just great. Thanks for sharing your journey Otis, I believe you’re bringing simple joy to a lot of people.

100%... same, about two months. Don't care so much about country or folk but I'm a filmmaker and Otis has a great knack for both storytelling and cinematography. Don't know 95% of his guests but it's expanding my horizons one story at a time, and that's a gift.

What a treat , fabulous. Thankyou

Thanks for sharing this Otis as I was unable to make Leytonstone this time, really enjoyed the video the large church is where my wife's grandparents were married. Also enjoyed the live performances especially Karluv Most used to enjoy it when you would play it acoustically walking through the audience always felt personal and genuine will catch you next time in the UK brother keep well

Great video, Otis…what the world needs is more Otis! Safe travels, my friend…

My heart soars like eagle ! I hereby dub you, Chief Warm Heart ! Peace, Chief Ten Birds

They love you, Otis! Great to have a peek into your performance! Safe travels! Thanks.

Damn this was a great video. Thank you Otis

Looks like it was as good as it gets... energy for energy. Loved the songs

Awesome! Thank you Sir💯

Dammit Otis you’re killing me. Wish I lived closer, I love to hang with you a little.

Dude, that last song is absolutely beautiful 👏👏

It's easy to think of Otis as a KZread storyteller and forget that he's a great songwriter, vocalist and guitar player. Townes and Blaze would be proud!

Referring to the little girl story…. You’re going places! I’m sure this confirms this time your plane leaves the runway you can put the landing gear up and fly away gracefully. God bless, thank you

Gracias amigo, many thanks for the peak into your workplace , very enjoyable Otis.

So...Otis... I've been following and watching your vids for a year or two now. I never knew who you were or what you did in music. I just like your mellow demenor and great storytelling. Tonight, I finally got to hear you play. You are so pucking authentic dude. Whether performing live or storytelling, it's thee same guy... Thanks!

Good morning Otis, always good to hear you singing to the people. That was an interesting story about burning the couch on Abbey’s grave. Have a great tour!

Sounds great. Always learning from you Otis. You are doing what makes me feel the best. And it’s great to see. Thanks.

Thanks Otis. Keep the wonderful content coming. 👍

First time I've ever heard you perform! Love your voice Otis.

Thanks for sharing this Otis. E

Your saturday videos keep getting better and better. Thank you Otis.

Born and bred in Leytonstone, now live in L.A. Thanks for shining a light on my home town Otis. I played many a show at the Red Lion which you must have passed, there on the high st. Hope you got to eat at the pie and mash shop at Harrow Green. BTW I know of Don Law (have both the old vinyl records of RJ) but didn’t know he was from Leytonstone.

Thanks for sharing your multitude of talents with all of us Otis !

First time for me to actually hear the singing. Sounds to me like I belong here as neighbor.

Thank you for the glimpse into some of your music. I really enjoyed it. All the best to you.

Love you Otis

I can see you are having just as much fun as the audience , you have it made Otis, congratulations.

First thing I listened to this morning. Thanks Otis!

Your first song made me think of the writer Edward Abbey and the story of his passing and burial in the Arizona desert.

You're such a gifted storyteller....thank you Otis for keeping folk music alive and thriving! Great vibe to your live show. I think you're crowd is getting a good solid warm and comfortable therapy session far from the bustle of life. It's healing, it's necessary!

Thank you Otis. Karluv Most is one of my all time favorite songs of yours!

Well - it's been said forever that with a great show ya leave folks craving more. Mission accomplished!

Thanks Otis. I wish you were making it up to York.

got my coffee and enjoying this story! 🙂

We were there. Great night. Thank you for coming over to U.K. Maybe you could come down to the South coast on your next visit?

Got my coffee. Great stuff.

Love The Hitchcock Mosaic’s in The Railway Walkways There and Your Beautiful Song at The End! Your Amazing Otis! Enjoy The UK

Killin it. Much love to you.

I get it now, thanks Otis.

Laughed my ass off when you stumbled over your last name. Safe Travels Otis.

Saturday Goodmorning/Goodevening to you, Otis. Thank You, Great Story Telling, Superb performance, very touching last song, Beautiful ~!💜😎

Beautiful set and great story telling Hats off !

Thanks Otis, a great way to start my day.

Sounding great, Otis! Thanks for sharing some of your time in the UK with us.

thanks, Otis, for the great Saturday morning peace be with you, brother.

Such a great night

Don Law Jr’s name is all over my New England concert ticket stubs from the ‘80s as a concert promoter. Didn’t realize he was the son of music royalty, but it makes sense.

Loved it.

A wonderful Saturday morning prize. Thanks Otis.
