Lyle Lovett @ Greek Theatre: July 12, 2006
You can probably guess that this concert was amazing - and it was. It really was. I missed the Blind Boys of Alabama, who opened for Lyle, because I was getting drunk in the parking lot (I had priorities), but from what I could hear, they sounded great. Lyle Lovett is alt-country meets jazz meets gospel, and all of his songs tell the most amazing stories, much like Lyle does in between those songs with his dry sense of humor. Just as impressive as Lyle was his quartet of backup singers whot belt it out like no one's business, and the sheer size of his "Large Band," (I think there are 23 pieces in his band), and OH MY GOD THAT SOLO HIS CELLO PLAYER PERFORMED!! Even though he played for two hours, that was barely enough time to scratch the surface of his vast library of material, but that just makes you want to see him again next time, right?
