1082. Lyle & me!!!!!!!

[@grammawpayton]

This why I love the internet - thank you so much for this video♥♥

[@periloustemple8290]

Just wow. I love the music - but i really love the love - and that is the music.

[@patlatorres7000]

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]

You worked w bill graham. What did u do?

[@patlatorres7000]

@@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!

[@pamelabublitz9312]

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

Leland's the bomb. Great channel/info.

I also worked for BGP in the 1980's. But I was just a Blue Coat. Worked over 40 Dead shows. I can still smell the patchouli.

[@gustavoviveros8394]

Great 👍🏻 Thanks Lee 🤝🏻

[@DSPANFilm]

Excellent. Thank you. 👍🙏

[@jamesduck1069]

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!

Man this a treat. Thanks guys. :o)

[@karanolson]

This is uh-mazing! Lee is the man!!!

[@georgeyoung2123]

The aggregate quality of the band is a testament to the musicality and intellect of Lyle Lovett.

[@elenbrandt290]

Thank you Leland!

[@erickorte7856]

Wow! Just WOW!

[@kjisnot]

A performance VS a preproduction. I'll have to remember that when someone says they want to hear a song "just like the record".

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!

Never was a Lyle fan, after watching these has made me more appreciative and now want to go back and here all his music!

[@gregmock6808]

How cool ....I think you look up the definition of great guy everybody loves in the dictionary and it says...Leland Sklar!

[@hippydippy]

That was Precious! Those memories will never fade....

[@oldarchillies163]

Wow, just wonderful. Have a safe trip home. 🙂

[@forrandini750]

Thanks Lee !👍 I am really going to miss these videos ! 😢

"Here I Am" was my introduction to Lyle Lovett. Thank you both for all the great music!

What an extraordinary way to close a job well done. Congratulations Gentleman, you nailed it once again. See you soon Lee.

[@jimbrown195]

Thank you for all the videos. God Bless.

[@philip2750]

Leland: I did not touch an instrument, sing a single note, help prepare the stage, drive a bus or truck but I enjoyed every single venue. You let us explore every venue with you and interact with your fellow musicians and crew to the point that I am going to have to deal with tour withdrawal. What a blessing these people have been this summer. My many thanks to all involved with Lyle's Large Band 2022 tour.

[@tomcoryell]

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.

[@bradleyjsmith70]

I’ve really enjoyed watching , thank you.

[@mikestillwagon5675]

I remember reading an interview with Lauren Bacall where she described Lyle as an absolute, last-of-his-kind true gentleman.

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

Didn't Julia Roberts burn Lyle. And Kiefer Sutherland. And her homeless half sister?

[@randyduncan5562]

@@c.s.mcleod7383 WTF…does Julia have to do with this clip? Get a F…ing clue.🤦‍♂️

[@ronmeadors8035]

I sort of have the idea it's how his folks raised him and where he was raised. Nice feller.

[@halharrower8565]

You guys just put a smile on my face and I start to chuckle...thank you both so much.

[@lbshore]

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.

[@jezelkins]

Wonderful videos and commentary along the tour.

[@boarsnest4844]

Cute. It was a great viewer experience for me.

[@kenscar]

Saw you guys in Greenville, SC a couple weeks ago. FYI it was a truly wonderful evening from the audience's standpoint. Long live the Large Band!

[@pizzicatoprod]

Leland!.... Lyle!!!! What a wonderful summer!

[@KRISSPCRITTER]

That was great Leland~ Love Lyle~

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....

[@nisiunavoce1264]

Such high praise from a great totally original artist is precious. If there was ever a tour that deserved a movie it's this one. Please make it happen lyle. Be well, thanks for the notes.

[@chrissharkey9644]

What a delightful piece!

[@Dan0948]

Fascinating tour, and interview. Thank you Brother!!

[@leemac1659]

Our 6th time seeing Lyle (in Shipshewanna, Indiana); each time is a joy. The musicality of the entire band if off the charts. Thank you, Leland, for sharing this!

[@raybassman7536]

Lyle could make a picture book from all his photographs of the inside of each theatre too.

[@timmcgurl]

@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.

[@robertgentry9436]

Great video, insights and heart! Thanks for keeping it so real in a crazy world, guys.

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!

[@tjinnertube]

Always figured Lyle as genuine, kind. Now there’s shared content showing that. ❤️

[@RichardSeargent]

We’re all going to have to get used to a different daily routine now the tour has ended. I’ve loved the videos and look forward to the next tour!

This is very nice. Thankyou Leland for your sharing, your caring, your humility and showing us your wonderful world

[@mousejustmouse]

Is always exciting to get tickets for a Lyle show especially when the Large Band is included! When the band members vary, it brings a new dynamic to the performance so it never gets old. In the 30+ years I’ve followed Lyle, it has been a delight to discover the amazing talent he includes in his show. I hope to see you all again. Thanks a million!

[@kendebeer6080]

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 …

[@kendog6667]

Thank you for the videos this was a thoroughly enjoyable summer for me following you guys across the country

[@adambana5857]

Thanks Leland for this interview! As its so true! Improvisation, dynamics and subtlety plays a massive part in the construct of a song played live! And to play the song note for note exact every night would drive you bonkners! I have had to leave bands in the past for playing different each night and then I would be made to feel bad for playing different, only to find out later it was ecause other members didn't know how to improvise! I wish they could see this!

[@terriblemook]

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🖕

[@sceiron1]

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..

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 🖕
