Lyle Lovett & John Hiatt, on tour

Last nite saw their gig here in Boise, Idaho. They played where the Boise Phil plays, a magnificent concert hall. Looked sold out, 2,000+ folks. Anyhoots it's just the two, acoustic only. I'm posting here to encourage you to attend if they tour through or near your town. They alternated playing their own tunes, sometimes joining in. Storytelling between ditties. I shan't bore with details. Just: try to go if you are able. They are the real deal.

I saw them last Friday here in Olympia, great show!  They seemed very relaxed and like they were having a lot of fun.  The stage banter added to the performance in my opinion and both were in fine form from a singing and playing perspective.

Saw their acoustic duo last year at McCarter Theater in Princeton.  Great though well-rehearsed repartee and contrast/synergy between Haitt's Memphis/Nashville and Lovett's Texas roots.  But Hiatt is the grandmaster... see him while he's still here.

I saw this show last night in Emporia Kansas. A small theater seats around a thousand. It was a most enjoyable show. a lot of witty banter between songs,(and yes it was really witty). They mostly just took turns with their songs, they did a few together. All and all glad i went great show. These guys can very easily and casually entertain the hell out of you.
