Lyle Lovett and His Large Band - Give Back My Heart
Live at The Cotillion in Wichita, Kansas - June 26th, 2024
Lyle starts by telling a hilarious story about a girl from high school that he asked to dance... as a result of those events, he went home and wrote this song.
Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel

[@JeffHogue-em6zx]

Those two great musicians behind Lyle - Leland Sklar, bass and Russ Kunkel, drums - have been playing together for over 50 years!

I have been watching Leland’s KZbin channel videos of the various sites for this tour. I was hoping he would put one up with Lyle & Company playing. Now that several minutes have passed and Lyle is still story-telling I am suspicious that there may not be any music. I hope I am wrong.

[@105robmajor]

And I am so glad I was wrong. Great song. Great band. Of course Lyle is in excellent form as always. I hope they bring tour to Northern CA.

[@JeffHogue-em6zx]

@@105robmajor Music begins at 5:10. Leland would have to get someone to film their show. When Leland films the events, he doesn't stop the filming until the time runs out, at abuut 30 mins.

Seen him at least 14 times. Red Rocks, Cheyenne, Chicago, Fort Collins, Boulder, Ravinia… always a different show. Always great.

[@shapro88]

I would love to see a show at Red Rocks. REO Speedwagon did a show with Chicago there about 10 years ago or so and it was televised on AXS TX. It was freaking awesome. 🎸🥁🎺🤘👨‍🎤👩‍🎤

Great class, thanks for this shot. Best regards from Tangermünde / Germany.👍🙏☮

[@towertone]

What a crew!! Saw him with John Hiatt as a duo act in Deadwood, SD in 2022. Been a fan since 1987 but had to travel all the way to South Dakota 35 years later to see a fellow Texan (actually he was playing at the hotel/ casino that we happened to be snowed in at). Great stories from both!!

I wish Mr. Lovett would sing, but he tightens his neck and throat so much. What a bad habit !

No doubt all quintessential players. But have to say….the original Large Band rhythm section was WAY batter

Interesting. I'll have to look it up.

[@clappzzz]

The quality of this recording is bad. Makes the drum sound like a tin can!

[@shapro88]

@@clappzzz In actuality, it was a tin can. The exceptional videography, coupled with the expertise of the individual operating the recording device, generates an extraordinary cinematic illusion that Mr. Kunkel is performing on a genuine drum set.

[@johnhassan9085]

[@briangarrett6510]

Yeah, I got suggested this video because I follow Lee Sklar. I don't get Lyle Lovett. Never did. Not sure how he commands a big tour with a Large Band.

[@robnamowicz8073]

@@briangarrett6510 Because he is an extraordinary talent, his choice of material is demanding and rare. He is beyond ordinary. And, he's from Texas. That's different. Then again, maybe he just ain't your cup of tea. Ain't no part of nothin'

[@raygunsforronnie847]

Lovett has a love/hate relationship with his microphone and it sounds like the sound mixer person applied some significant EQ to the vocal to get enough level before feedback when he talks between songs, plus Lovett seems to like a bit of "vintage" in his sound as well.
