Sgt. Pepper Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Just got back from seeing Lyle at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach, VA. 6th row center. What a show. He played for 2 hours. It was all acoustic. His band was top shelf. His stand up bass player is Allison Krause's brother. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 An interesting and soulful cat, that Lyle Lovett. I admire him and his unique approach to music, greatly. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I think Lyle is one of the very best! Kind of 'Country Jazz" (if that's such a thing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) I just got tix to see him again at the Carolina Opry Theater. I’m in the balcony 2nd row. I’m down in Little River, SC, and I saw on a billboard he is playing Sunday night. Went immediately to the box office and got tix. Edited March 4, 2022 by Sgt.

Sgt. Pepper Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 That's right Lyle I'm not from Texas. And If I had boat I certainly would ride my pony on my boat. That is where you ride a pony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Lyle was killer again last night. He dropped out a few songs and inserted a few different ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxson50 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Just to show what kind if man Lyle is, a few years ago he did a show here in Boise at a pizza restaurant owned by a man who grew up in Lyles hometown. The owner of the restaurant had just lost his wife to brain cancer after a long battle. This pizza place could seat maybe 25 people. In return, the man gifted Lyle a vintage Huskvarna dirt bike, an exact copy of the one Lyle raced when he was a kid growing up in Texas. Needless to say it that show helped the family cover health care cost. Sadly the restaurant owner died two years ago. Lyle will always have my respect for playing that gig after doing a show here in Boise. Edited March 8, 2022 by jaxson50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he asked her to dress up in her Pretty Woman hooker outfit every once and while? Edited March 8, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Here are two pic from the first show. He is playing a Collings. The entire show he had finger picks on his thumb and all fingers but the pinky. Edited March 11, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 The Dobro player was off the hook. All of them were killer players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think you'd have to be top-notch to be able to keep up with Lyle.... I find his songs very "Jazzy". (But then "Country Swing" is pretty "Jazzy" too!).
