Lyle Lovett - "I Went to a Funeral"

[@edmasciana2577]

Lyle Lovett Is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. I don't think anybody has his range of styles. He does everything and few can come close.

What a great find this was! Thank you.

Thank you a million times over for posting this. I could cry with the joy of seeing this early Lyle. Every summer he does a show at Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA and every year I am once again overwhelmed with his talent and love of music. A class act.

I believe this song is actually called "Since the Last Time." Be that as it may...wow! I love the recorded version. How great to get to see an original acoustic version.

[@BrendaLewisJazz]

Had no idea that Lyle wrote this song so long ago! What a gift that you've captured this nuanced performance - along with the one with Nanci. Thank you SO much,Terry! Brenda de near-Toronto

Love seeing this early footage of Lyle Lovett. Thanks for posting it.

Amazing! Terry thank you so, so much for sharing this with us. ♥️

He Could only be between 18-22 here, and yet his voice is so strong and clear. Fully Matured and full of body. Such a brilliant piece of history. You can hear a lot of Townes in his early voice here. Plus, anyone else think he looks a lot like Paul Rudd here: so young.

WOW, awesome footage. You can hear the last of Lyle's shell coming off in his singing. I didn't know he wrote this song so long before he recorded it. THANKS for posting.

As great a guitarist as he is, it is a shame we don't see him play solo very often. I can get how doing a whole set of his originals would leave a person finger-tied, but this was awesome. Thanks.

+Terry Canup Thank you so much for sharing. I've never seen footage before 1990.

[@effronwhiteold]

Wow! Historical, for sure! Thanks, Terry!

[@dbelew]

Fantastic. Thanks so much for posting this.

Recorded near Lufkin, TX at a private backyard party, 1976 -1977.

[@troylangham3475]

I missed this one party at The Girls House.

[@edmasciana2577]

Just shows how long this guy has been one of the greatest of all time.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

This is back when him and Robert Earl Keen were roommates down at Texas A&M as Aggies

[@Trenchant468]

Maybe you know someone who can help explain why he's wearing a wedding ring, at age 21? Marriage at age 35 is always listed as his first...

[@autodonk2797]

I thought that was luchenbach, guess i was wrong.... all I know is that this is the song i want sang at the beginning of my funeral.... if I was a famous guy, by the spectacular Lyle Lovett himself.....

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

no big hair...is this just when he was down in college cutting up with Robert Earl Keen.. they were roommates I believe at Texas A&M. sounds a little like Lowell George here to I have to admit long time Little Feat fan for years

[@DougCoppock]

wow... Terry, where was this recorded?
