Leland, you have provided all of us an entry into a world that most NEVER et to experience. Having worked for Bill Graham back in the past, I've been lucky enough to have seen some of this first hand. But what you've given us this summer is something that is so much more. And this episode seeing Lyle as "Lyle the person" as opposed to Lyle the music star is even more special. In the time since your first episodes we have ALL been privileged to get to know a new friend and to have traveled with you on such a wide range of adventures. I can only look forward to even more of these adventures. THANK YOU for having shared this with all of us!
@@lastnamefirst4035 Mostly security and guest services, but a little work on the production side (mostly after we lost Bill). Learning at the feet of THE MASTER was something special. The promoters today ONLY care about bringing in the money, NOT about the product being provided to the public!
Ditto ditto ditto. Leland. You. Are The most special man. I got to know your talents working with PC & consider you & Daryl “home slices” fellow Mwaukeeans 😉😘 I grew up to have opps to play with Prince, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Don Cherry, Ernie Watts, Muddy Waters, Julius Hemphill, Douglas Ewart, & all the hardcore Chicago jazzers, Sinatra, Bobby Vinton, Barry Manilow, Tom Jones, Edie Gourmet, a few opera greats & many many other front liners. I pray someday we’ll work together before you go inter planetary my friend. Love,💯🕯♥️PamelaB
I first met Lyle in ‘87 when he was touring as a solo act with Bonnie Raitt. Been a fan ever since. I became an instant Leland fan from his intro on “Doctor My Eyes” on. I didn’t know that was him at the time, I just knew it was cool as hell.
It's really cool seeing older musicians. I'm 67 and it gives me hope for myself personally that there is a future for anyone that still wants to play regardless of age. Being in your 60s or 70s one can remain very healthy and still make music.
@@lelandsklar6363 The sound of a gentle thud on stage - an attentive sound person will mute the instrument as to not offend the ear. I'd be fine checking out that way.
@Raybassman I definitely see in the future Lyle publishing a Coffee Table Photo Book of Indoor and Outdoor Music Venues! I'd surely want one. Especially, some of the National Architectural Treasures where Lyle and his Large Family Band played over the Summer Tour of 2022.
Leland, thank you so much for taking me along on this tour! I learned a lot about the musicians and support staff on this tour. What a group of amazing people. Lyle Lovitt, what a great humble human being he is. I have become a fan of Mr. Lovitt, because of you. Best wishes to you, your wife, and the boys! If you are ever in Vermont, especially in the Burlington area let me know. I can share some experiences about the SF/Bay Area music scene in the late 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s! Love you man 🖕
Leland, you are a treasure. Thank you for letting us all peek behind the curtain, to know what it's like to travel & play on a 1st class tour like you guys have. Lyle & you are both genuine class acts. Go home, play with the dogs, sleep in & get ready for the next adventure. But please put all of us in your hip pocket & bring us along on your channel, if appropriate. Blessings....
In 1976 I saw the Grateful Dead nine times in twelve days on their Bicentennial Tour. What struck me afterwards was how the tour had arcs just like the shows. It was so great to be able to extend the roller coaster ride of their individual shows into the larger frame of the ongoing tour and feel the changes in dynamics as the days progressed. One of the greatest experiences of my life.
Thanks for you're making the life you've live so personal to us who've lived on the periphery of the lives of the remarkable people you know. May God bless you with many more years and adventures.
Great conversation…again, what a “gentleman” to work for. Sorry for you that it came to an end, but I’m sure it’ll be nice to get home. Thanks for documenting this whole experience, it sure was a treat for us. Stay safe🖕
Just to add to all the other comments here. Thanks heaps Lee for a wonderful 2 month documentary and to cap it off with heart to heart with Lyle. It's been an absolute treat to watch these every day of the tour..
Nice! A Great Tribute and Closure. . .to the Summer of 2022 Tour Lyle Lovett Large Band. . . "Everybody Listens. . ." Love It! Such Wonderful Chemistry! Thank You!
This right here is so much respect for each other. It has been so much fun to see all the behind scenes action and interaction between such great talents in the entire group. Thank you Leland for taking us with you and thank you Lyle for the tour. ❤️
Thank you Lee for taking us all along on this incredible journey and the insights behind the scenes. This is a view that only a chosen few normally get to see. I appreciate you and your channel and all the venues and people that you portrayed over the course. Thanks again and can’t wait to see what’s next. Greetings from Germany and all the best.
I was in the audience at your San Antonio show at The Majestic & it was there that I learned of your RU-vid tour videos. What a fabulous effort. Thank you for sharing your unique behind the scenes peek & extending our concert experience.
Thanks again for doing these videos, I’m exhausted for just watching the tour long distance. 🤪 And even though it would’ve been great to see one show live I’m quite happy to settle with The Road to Ensenada.
THIS was great! I have thoroughly enjoyed every single video you have shared with us. Thank you for taking us along so we could see the venues and the other talented musicians on this tour with you and Lyle.
I get this 100%..when I play with certain folks the hair stands on end on my arms and neck,🎶👍...Leland.. thank you for bringing us along on the tour.. Almost like being there with you.
Incredible. Yeah. Thank you for documenting this. It was like I was there…almost. Without the bus travels. Which might have been the best part depending😁
Thank you for this tour coverage. The respect for Mr Lovett as a performer as a human being has grown exponentially. You of course as always are top notch. God Bless both of you …
Thank you Lyle for having Lee and being so open to allow him to document everything. It was such a treat for us. You remind me of my wife's grandfather - also named Lyle - such a warm person. Next time you are in Colorado I'm definitely taking the Mrs. to see your show.
Every night for the past several weeks I've looked forward to two things: #1 laying down with my 2 year old daughter to put her to sleep and #2 turning on this channel to get caught up on the days events..and of course picking up one or two or ten previous episodes in my quest to watch them all! Appreciate all that you do both educating and entertaining. I'll miss seeing all the folks on this tour..but look forward to the adventures ahead. Thanks Leland!
Such a cool video Lee. I love when you get to sit down with the stars and just have a friend to friend conversation. It's clear how close you two are. Lyle seems like such a wonderful soul. What a great tour this was!
Loved the tours of the summer sheds and venues. You played symphony halls and big tops and I loved seeing them all. Thank you so much. And 🖕from a fan.
How sweet! Lyle must do The Large Band again! I've enjoyed all of the videos and performnces that I've caught online. I couldn't get to a show because of family and other obligations but, next time, I will get there! Your videos have been wonderful and the camaraderie is obvious. I feel like I know Brad and everybody! Thank you, Lee for documenting this tour. Great stuff. Lyle's music is fantastic and we're all fans. We're fans of this band as well! Safe home everyone and thank you for the peek into the whole thing! XOXO! ❤
Priceless comments on musicians and how you built this great music together. Thank you very much for sharing these moments with us 👍 Warm greetings from Paris 👋 PS : Hope this show will come here …
Thanks to the gods of music for assembling this extraordinary tour, and enabling Lee to let us in for such an intimate view. Lyle is without equal, and I, for one, am grateful to have gotten a feel of what all goes into the making of these enormous events.
Nice conversation! I met Lyle a bunch of years ago at the Pro Italia motorcycle shop in Glendale, CA. I w as having some work done on my bike and Lyle had a custom bike built for him that was getting some tweaks finalized. I walked into the lounge/waiting room and Lyle was in there, waiting. He reached out his hand and said," Hi...I'm Lyle Lovett." I said, "Hi! For a motorcycle rider, you're a pretty good songwriter!" We ended up chatting, mostly about motorcycles, for a good long while. What a great guy!
It’s amazing to hear the mutual appreciation and respect between you two and your fellow musical company you have put together in your band on this tour. All of these musicians are at least triple black belts in their arts and makes their instruments like a natural extension of their body and mind so that they can all listen and bounce off of each other and create musical uniqueness on every single day. This mountain of combined musical talent and history is totally awesome.
