@reubent- I hope you enjoyed the show. We caught them at the Garde Theater in New London, CT a couple of weeks ago. I'm not a huge Shawn Colvin fan but Lyle is amazing! Saw him with the Large Band last summer and a couple of times in an acoustic show. He is unique, I love his songwriting and his quirky sense of humor. |
@swampwalker - I did enjoy it. I really like Lyle Lovett live. This is the first time I've seen him do an acoustic show. I do prefer the Large Band show, but I'll take any Lyle I can get. He's really funny and engaging. I enjoyed the banter between he and Colvin. I thought Shawn Colvin was pretty good. I saw her last summer, doing a similar show with Steve Earle and I think she was better this time. I thought the few songs where Shawn sang with Lyle were some of the best of the show. |
@reubent- +1 to everything you said. esp. "any Lyle I can get". In the acoustic shows I've seen, you get a more "personal" experience,. but his Large Band is just a stunning exhibition of musical virtuosity. Most incredible to me was how each individual musician, a "star" in his own right, was always playing in service to the song. The last time we saw the Large Band, there were 13 pieces and a 9 person choir backing Lyle and Justine! One of the best shows I've ever seen. |
Last week, 5 day music festival here in Boise, Idaho. https://www.treefortmusicfest.com/ 400+ bands. I went all 5 days. Hours of shows every day. Too many highlites, although two nyc bands, Antibalas &The Muckers were primo. |
