Lyle Lovett - "I've Been To Memphis"

Lyle Lovett - "I've Been To Memphis"

[@grumpywine]

I would go to Memphis to be baptized in this song. Forget Elvis. This one is vintage Lyle and I've always admired the musicians that surrounded themselves with superior performers like Lyle with their accompany. The support people are the best and really deserve more credit. Saw Lyle in Victoria, B.C. a few years ago (acoustic tour) and his support was spot on ! Viktor Krauss on Bass and John Hagen On Cello and the four black gents (sorry I should know their names) were my stars. Great performance.

[@TheOpinionatedGuitarist]

So many perfect songs! Never get tired of listening to him!

[@charles43110]

Saw Lyle & his Large Band in Columbus, Ohio this summer. 19 ppl on stage It was a really great evening in the "short north" and his music makes you both want to sing & dance to his really varied selections. Ny favorites??? His Texas Swing. I....Lovett!!!

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing?

A musicians,musician always had good players, total package

[@sethie_shots]

This band woaahhhh- the steps of the backup singers alone!!

[@grandbbq]

Saw this tour at the Rialto Square Theater in Joliet,IL ////brought tears to my eyes. Drove the sound guys back from a restaurant in my limo.

[@diminished9th]

An American Treasure/ wonderful singer , songwriter

[@PedanticBohemian]

The ex and I saw him live at the Johnny Carson show in '89 and he totally smoked the place. He did "She's Ugly From the Front" and "Here I Am." There are no words to describe it! Thanks for sharing this.

[@honestj820]

Hey how are you doing ?

[@hmcovert]

Tim Ray is an outstanding pianist, arranger and covers all perspective. A joy to listen to. He's a distsinguished teacher as well as performer.

[@ronmacdonald4134]

First time seeing this….video…..of this song! Nice …simple….elegant! …..we know the song……it’s ❤️

[@ricktroemel2157]

Awesome performance and Tune. I especially love the piano open, close and break around 2:38 ish. Thanks for posting. I wonder how the folks that did thumbs down could dislike this...

[@barblewis1096]

Yes indeed, he can play that peeAnna! Ilove Lyle Lovett and his talented Large Band!

[@Tickettyboo1959]

That amazing key change....then back again!...

[@peggysharp7028]

I've always liked Lyle he's so good and different Peggy sharp

[@debraholroyd22]

You are so unique and have the most beautiful voice. We need to hear more of you, especially in the south. We would so welcome you! It's 2017 as I write this. Come on down!

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing today ?

[@laynie1959]

Love this song and pretty much everything He does!!!

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing?

[@tamimorris6888]

Lyle Lovett is brilliant!!!!

[@diminished9th]

Lyle was born In a houston suburb of texas in 1957, he also attended texas a and m college... thats a little south of canada

[@MrJohnnybatz]

As good as it gets...Period

[@parrothead04578]

We were lucky enough to see him on June 26th 2008 in Porland, Maine. A great venue for him at Merrill Auditorium......it was only our second show but another great one.

[@kathya4645]

I was raised on jazz. That was fine till the day I heard Lyle. Ohoowe!

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing today?

[@rileysdad1923]

I think this is just the coolest song. Can anyone recommend anything like this?

[@msmart2u2]

I play this video and Church over and over. And I thank God for his gift of Lyle and his group and ask that time stand still. There is a God, because Lyle and his band was no accident.

[@Tickettyboo1959]

This has to probably be the TIGHTEST band I've ever seen!...

[@mlwsf]

Tight and yet completely loose as well. If you know what I mean. The music felt open and spontaneous as opposed to slick, cold, and clinical.

[@SigMendelsson]

@@mlwsf - Lyle always has great musicians ... but this pianist and this drummer? Maybe the best he's had to-date. Both the drummer and pianist are so nimble yet solid ... with flourishes as delicate yet tight. Damn good stuff.

[@markvonstein525]

Big life time fan here. Everything I think, "Man Randy Travis can't get any better than this!", I find something like this. Great stuff!!

[@chrisrobson271]

This was recorded at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio, Texas. I was there. The crowd rises up when he mentions San Antonio in the song...great show!

[@sullirsullir3232]

+Chris Robson. My husband and I saw him there as well. One of the best concerts I've been to. He's a great showman and funny too!

[@jamesowens3790]

Lyle and all the boys are always ready with "a wink and a nod" for any of us who want to join them in the best inside joke in the world--they are havin' nothin' but fun every time they the music starts..,and they want us all to "come with" for the ride. This is called 'good time stuff baby'! This is why we play

[@dankaradave]

This is one thing i like about tejas . . . Music . . . All kinds of great music . . . ZZ

[@BlueGeorge09]

Sweet Pea had awesome hats way back when? Right on.

[@joeynester1747]

awesome let's go to Memphis

[@andyives5640]

I heard this backup of LL with his large band at Red Rocks in Denver. GOD what a show. The gentleman in the hat has a bass that was out of this world. Yes I have heard them with Francine also and LL puts together a large band that is a joy to experience. Ahhhhhh,,,, red rocks in July of 2019. cant wait.... all joy and peace to those that read this but be there... its a bucket list event.

[@indaweller7406]

Just great just moves you lilt of soul rocks on all real good it moves you want to go there no no one in US but would travel around listening to music. Knew a lot of US people in Nam we did USO shows darn good people love your music

[@daveyamericanpridegodbless9842]

[@laurievessely9540]

what an inspiration

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing today?

[@MrElaguatero5]

I like this man..beautiful voice..and his hair like crazy bird...it seems that nothing bother him!!

[@jimgsewell]

I ain't never been to Memphis, but damn, I love this song.

[@thomasellis554]

I'd love to isolate the audio on Lyle's guitar on this song. It's a brilliant bit Travis-picking mixed with these funky runs on the E- and A- strings to the next chords.

[@cheyenne86]

lyle lovett is so cool.. love that Texas Boy

[@BarbershopTenor]

the pianoat (2:40) preparing the guitar solo (at 3:03) is to die for! Thank you for that wonderful musical moment! (another gold medal moment by Lyle!) Thank you for posting!

[@michelleparsons2520]

Best. Concert. Ever.

[@rdhawk70]

saw them at the Ryman

[@jckrwlnd]

Simply powerful music and lyrics!

[@charliekim4225]

Memphis Beale St is my favorite place on earth

[@milliehaywood6938]

I love, love, love this.

[@bozhijak]

Ahh yes..

[@wsjohnston3956]

What an incredibly talented guy.... despite the fact that he's from Texas!!;>)

[@jimmiecampbell4357]

BECAUSE OF THE FACT.

[@sandstoney]

Wow you gotta like that big sound again ,great one I love it

[@squishedlizard]

Love, love, love this song! :)

[@hogrotten6897]

Lubbock has produced some great performer's, ain't shit else to do there.

[@JolleyRick]

I really enjoy THE PIPS. A big new something for Lyle. Rick Jolly Colorado springs

[@dankaradave]

Oh shit jim that bad good

[@copacetic9018]

Outta the way, Rooster Boy!

[@judyvolem1026]

My Man...

[@bobbycressey]

Matt Rollings!!!!

[@christin1095]

When you want to listen to something better than music

[@dnuosmaerd]

OMG, Matt Rollings is great.

[@nadeembitar5292]

When the sun goes down, it's another town. [I guess that was after he signed with MCA. Because before that he was always opening for Nanci Griffith whenever she came into Houston.] And I love a woman, what I don't know.

[@nadeembitar5292]

Get religious with states' rights. Only the amazing grace of Jesus The Christ of The Holy Bible has been saving a wretch like me.

[@laurievessely9540]

wow

[@grandbbq]

Saw this at the rialto in peoria IL

[@wchwsky]

I believe this is at the Orpheum in Memphis. In the late 90's. I took my aunt for her birthday.

[@nbgirl483]

This concert was recorded at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio Texas.

[@judyvolem1026]

got my soul in there pokcet

[@TheSkaggs54]

Ray Herndon of McBride & The Ride on Lead Guitar.

[@erichaskell]

Imagine ten year old boys gleefully leaving thumbs down as quickly as they can open the next video.

[@snookseaglin]

Good tune.........can't beat the hairdo......the opposite of baldness?........anyways, Lyle is one of the best.. and I agree with YRUstaring down below.....Great music to listen to driving down the road!

[@urbansocrates]

Someone's been channeling Lowell George.

[@Urbie4]

Ya, great playing -- reminds me a bit of Roger Kellaway.

[@MetalCookieMusic]

Why can't I find a studio version of this?!?!?

[@jaredneedsalife]

'I love everybody' and 'Joshua Judges Ruth'. Do albums get much better, much more intelligent than these. Wicked wit. I just wish he would come play a gig in London again soon.

[@mlwsf]

That double album that he did with all those Townes Van Zandt songs on it was pretty great too. Step Inside this House I believe it was.

[@tmf945]

@browne335 I'm sure Lyle can afford it...besides, as a musician I can tell you that as long as the rent is paid, and the electric is on, you play for the sheer joy of playing. Yeah the money can be good or bad, but that's what you choose to do.

[@bigrooster7178]

I dated a young lady named Allison way back when. She had little ones too… Giver though…

[@macintheus]

That's gotta be Matt Rollings on piano -- a monster!

[@Trixiekitsch2008]

@emilyxmiller --there are many different styles of fine music out there. If you limit yourself to only one genre you are cheating yourself. Open your mind--open your ears. I have Thrill Kill cds right next to Lyle Lovett and Sham 69. (my guess is you don't know who they are). Quit trying to be "cool" and listen to something new.

[@daveyamericanpridegodbless9842]

Lovett, sorry cat walked across my keys🤦🏼‍♂️🐈

[@ambercrombie789]

just a little..LOL

[@DavidStanleymusic]

@6076116 bail out ?hell America cant even bail themselves out today

[@julieleimkuehler1409]

I'd marry him.

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing today?

[@judyvolem1026]

Memphis... My ASS..

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing today?

[@robintownsend8294]

28 people haven't been to Memphis

[@lauriebedard9464]

:)))))))))

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing today?

[@Talcupp]

Not Lowell George but the great Little Feat piano player Bill Payne.

[@forgiven21801]

I guess your not from Tx!

[@brkroger]

@3catmandu California declared its self independent before the news of the Mexican-American War reached the few colonists. Hardly anyone in Alta California was behind the revolt. After 26 days, American troops reached Alta California, and the "revolution" was halted in the aspiration of joining the United States. If you can call that a Country, then sure... be proud of it.. But to be a country, technically, you must be recognized by other major countries. California was never.

[@TeamJacob57]

@Downer05 Excuse you! We are CLEARLY the best state. Have any other states ever been a country? I think not! So we win!

[@richardleonard4281]

Hey Justin Bieber , you paying attention? This is real music , singing and song writing

[@ambercrombie789]

just a little. :)

[@Thatsgay123]

Its kinda a dirty song

[@ardalla535]

ironic how Lyle now looks better than Julia

[@mdees100]

been to hell.

[@fredericlinden]

Poor Pianist ! There could not be more awful lighting on him. Keyboard not properly lit, shadows all over the keys. A nightmare.

[@timothylewis2450]

Yet he was fabulous!

[@Downer05]

He'd be a hell of a lot cooler if he were Canadian instead of Texan but he's badass all the same. Even if he is from the worst, most embarassing state in America

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing ?

[@johnny518jhs]

the least he should do is style his dudes to stage right with suits cut from the same color black.... No discipline these days....
