The outro at the end of So Strange was taken from the Zerocks Records release,it doesn't appear on the Bush version.
The Furry who sings Furry's Blues is the same Furry who Joni Mitchell wrote a song about (Furry Sings The Blues).
As the story goes,the old man gave his permission at first,then sued her when the song became more popular.
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 actually 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.
From Wikipedia:
KPPC-FM was the first station in Los Angeles to broadcast a stereo simulcast
with a television station. (A one hour program with 'Leon Russell and Friends'
in collaboration with PBS station KCET),and the first to broadcast with Sansui quadraphonic sound.
It was also the first FM station in Los Angeles to use two transmitters simultaneously to produce sufficient power.
