Fresh off a backstage interview with AP radio, Lyle Lovett - possibly one of the most eclectic sounding artists of the past 20 years - just stepped on stage with his 23 piece band poised for an evening billed as "Lyle Lovett and his Large Band." Large indeed.
He's about four numbers into his set, and so far it's been highly varied with a mix of an opening instrumental tune, two gospel numbers, and a more classic Lyle, alternative-country tune. I would kill to have this guy's voice. It's as if the rock gods blessed him with the best vocal elements of Levon Helm and Van Morrison. Sometimes I swear I hear Dr. John too. Regardless, its awesome, and you should come out and catch the last 2 hrs. of his set.
I'll hopefully post some photos tomorrow.
Cheers,
Graham

So, i was at this show, as usual. was it just me or did his male backing vocalists walk offstage prior to one of their vocal parts? he sparred with them in conversation early in the show in a way that was a little biting.
can't remember what song it was, but i swear the band fell apart after this occured with each solo seemingly played *intentionally* bad. i'm a big fan and alway appreciate the tightness of the large band. it struck me as odd and very obvious. maybe it was just me?
