This east Los Angeles guitarist has played both Belly Ups many of times. It used to be a dream of mine to play Red Rocks…

A masterclass in verbal slapstick from the bassed beardmeister himself. 🙏❤️ Oh wait, I mean the bearded... Erm. 💥💨

[@erickorte2552]

I played that club years ago. The next day I skied all day then went back to the club and enjoyed your great friend Warren Zevon perform!

[@nightnoodler812]

What a tight venue, I think it is the smallest one so far, and so cool to have such an amazing history. This would be a bucket list Bar for sure.

[@helenespaulding7562]

I remember when the IF was there that I think Kootch (and Waddy?) had some altitude issues. Hope it all goes well for all of you over the next couple of nights. Heck, I just remembered you all were in Telluride, which is even higher, so no issues. Enjoy the beauty and balmy temperatures!

[@lelandsklar6363]

We played The Wheeler Opera House and they were both sick from the altitude.

[@John-the-Bass]

Lyles in the womens bathroom! Great humour. Thanks for the videos! It looks like a fantastic place. You make a great advert for the Belly up.

[@steven_scattergood]

What a beautiful place during the day. Very tight stage and not much room to have a scratch. Hopefully there may be a few cameos tonight and we may see them. Love the humour in this video Lee and here’s hoping for a great time for all. 👍☮️

[@stephenspencer4672]

Looks like a real neat venue for a basement. Have a great couple of nights 🌙 cooling it in the basement.😊❤

Aspen is certainly picturesque and the Belly Up is one of the smaller rooms that the LLLB play which allows for an intimate atmosphere.

Love coming back to Lee's channel every so often. Offers a perspective that no one else can.

I've always been in aspen in the winter with snow 5 feet high..looks alot diffrent in summer...yall have been doing a lot of driving...take care

[@buzzsmith8146]

Aspen is beautiful. Thanks, Leland for the revisit.

[@nickripostella5865]

Lyle and his Big Band - the universal appeal. It's not lost on me how different the folks are in the various places Lee has chronicled just this past week, yet the beautiful music reigns supreme.

[@Ajgreetings]

Beautiful country......amazing pictures on the inside. Very special

[@erickorte2552]

[@eddiethek]

[@broncodeviltexas]

[@erickorte2552]

I was in a 7 piece band and it was tight on stage!

[@doncallahan456]

Two nights in Aspen! Makes that long bus ride worthwhile! Thanks, Leland.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Another fantastic looking venue. Love seeing all the artists and bands on display in the photos. It's getting really hot in Western Canada, and even in the western part of the United States. I wish Maureen all the best. Cheers, Leland! 🙏✌️

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

Good luck on the weather this summer. I think just about everybody everywhere has to hope for the best on that at this point.

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

@@KittyCarlile-490 Brutal. We've become like mole people, if it's 95-110 we only go out at night (some times it pays to be eccentric). Don't forget to hydrate, it's also good to have a spray bottle full of water and a little handheld battery operated fan....

If you guys get Oates in with you Grab a quick film if you can?????? Only if you can. Either way have a blast!!!!

[@tjsmith3741]

Hey Lee, how come you don’t set up on Russell’s high hat side? After all this time, I just came to that realization… I must pay more attention 😎

[@lelandsklar6363]

I would prefer that but the horn section is there and with risers it just does not work. On the small acoustic tours I do set up on the hi hat side.

[@fjeinca]

Crushin’ that tour schedule, Lee! Looks like you’re savoring every appearance. 🩵💪#Enjoy and happy trails!

[@epet513]

Lovett & Oats. That has a nice ring to it.

[@MrSeibling]

a 15 piece band on that stage? well, that must be getting quite crowded then. i can't wait for red rocks.

it reminds me of a very tiny bar i played in reichenbach in germany, very small club but yet they manage to have all the well known names of prog music like steve hackett, martin barre an original member of jethro tull, michael angelo, carl palmer, mike keneally, and such....sometimes the vibe is as good as a bigger place.....

Sorry I was late, Democracy was on fire. Belly Up Aspen was opened by owner Michael Goldberg in January 2005, two years after his brother Steve acquired the original Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA. Continuing the tradition of a family run business, Michael now owns the club with two of his sons, David and Danny Goldberg. Listed as one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s “BEST CLUBS IN AMERICA,” we are a 450-capacity music venue at the base of Aspen Mountain. Belly Up Aspen has featured talents such as LCD Soundsystem, The Killers, Widespread Panic, The Chainsmokers, Jack White, Kacey Musgraves, Dave Chappelle, Odesza, Lil Wayne, Zach Bryan, Joe Walsh, John Legend, The Avett Brothers, Snoop Dogg, B.B. King, John Fogerty, Leon Bridges, Phoenix, Adam Sandler, Twenty One Pilots, The National, Kygo and Jimmy Buffett.

Hey Lee, I saw an episode of Happy Hour on KZbin yesterday. You were the musical director and Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa were the hosts. I never saw the show when it was originally on the USA network back in 1999. Can you do a video about it?

[@hanspeterlillese2225]

He did actually, looong time ago. Wouldn't mind though.

[@justsomeguy1074]

​@@hanspeterlillese2225Oh, I'll have to go watch that one. Thanks!

That's a small stage for a *large* band.

[@MrBiggmartin]

I think that place was called "The Parrot" or similar in the 80's. I saw Russel Smith from Amazing Rhythm Aces in Jan 1989 there. A very, very good show.

I notice that in this year's Large Band photo that, in addition to Mr. Lovett, you and Amy Keys really "pop". Did the two of you maybe slip the photographer some nice baked goods or something?🤣🤣

[@lelandsklar6363]

No. Just cute!

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

@@lelandsklar6363 Ah! That's it! I was thinking it could have had something to do with the beard and the dress. Now, this may be horribly un-pc, but I'm going to suggest that next year you NOT try the beard on her and the dress on you....

[@splashesin8]

I understand the nervous feeling about the gear from times past. Hoping it all gets with y'all in Red Rocks. I think I'll make a Heidi supper of goat cheese and romain.
