Awesome, fine acoustics, not a bad seat in the house What an amazing guy to allow these young performers to strut their stuff. We have seen him at Ravinia with the large band, but this was up close and personal and just fantastic
The musicians were on and voices pure and strong. As an acoustic performance their skill is evident. This was a relaxed special evening and the lyrics were all the more meaningful in this intimate setting.
Great concert! Lyle is very personable with the audience, his musicians are top notch and the venue is great - just too bad you have to walk through all the smokers to get there
Lyle delivered a fantastic concert along with talented musicians, This was the most intimate of three concerts I've attended of Lyle. Lyle did a nice job acknowledging the musical abilities of the other musicians. They played for well over 2 hours, and it was evident that they enjoyed performing for the audience.
Lyle and his band were amazing. The best concert we have been to in years. Sang for 2 1/2 hrs straight. he featured each of his band members. So much talent. Great evening.
First time ever to see Lyle Lovett. Was a bit disappointed when I realized the concert was not going to be with his Large Band, but his Acoustic Group instead. But we were absolutely impressed with every one of his 6 guest band members! And who knew that Lyle is a comedian?!?! We had a great time and would definitely recommend seeing Lyle Lovett!
I have seen Lyle Lovett in concert many times, usually with his Large Band. This show was with his Acoustic Group, so I was a bit worried there would be too many slower songs. Shouldn't have worried! The pacing of the show was very good, and all of the musicians, including Viktor Krauss, Keith Sewell, Russ Kunkel, and John Hagen were first-rate. The harmony/backup singer Arnold McCuller was great, and sang one of his songs. Each musician got to perform a solo, or play an extended part of a song, during the show, and they were excellent! As always, Lyle was gracious and funny, and spoke to the audience often between songs. He performed his cover of "Well All Right" which he recently recorded for a Buddy Holly tribute CD. Didn't know he had done this, and now that song is in my iTunes library! There were a couple of songs I would have preferred over a couple that were performed, but overall it was a wonderful show. I hadn't been to the Uptown Theatre before, and it's a nice venue.
Lyle and group were good in their acoustic presentation. Must admit this is m acoustic presentation and the excellent muscial presentation somewhat drowns out the vocals and the messages,, Regardless Lyle brought it home!
What a pleasure and what fun to hear such beautiful music played by such professionally outstanding musicians -- and the singing ??! What I said -- just perfect!! And it was ACOUSTIC!!! YAAAAAAYYY!! These guys play their hearts out!! Packed ..... and the enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience was warm and very appreciative of the great work of Lyle Lovett and the great group he got together!!
We have followed Lyle Lovett from Maryland/Virginia to NAPA in various venues and we never cease to at some time in the performance to find our jaws dropped in amazement at the breadth and depth of the musicality of Lyle or Lyle and his musicians - if they accompany him. The appearance at the Uptown last Friday was no exception to the rule of "jaw drop" as we allowed ourselves to be swept away into the tapestry of music Lyle chose to weave on Friday. He could present five nights of concerts in a row and never repeat a set, yet each night would be unmistakably Lyle, or Lyle and his incredible groups of musicians. His style is "Lyle." We have seen him in some pretty fabulous venues (Merriweather Pavillion in Columbia, Md., the Birchmere in Alexandra, Va, the Mondavi at UC Davis, Davis,Ca.) but none can beat the Uptown venue in NAPA. Thanks Lyle! Thanks Uptown!
I have seen Lyle Lovett many times. His Acoustic Group was fabulious they made the show What a great group of musicians, We were ready to fallow his bus to the next stop.
Incredible band! Each musician is soon talented. Wonderful new songs from "Release Me", plus lots of favorites. They played for 2 1/2 hours.
Quality. Lyle Lovett is the best. He always puts on a great show. 3 hours, without an opening act!!! A true musician, with a great band.
Lyle Lovett was unforgettable. His band was awesome. Run don't walk to see this show!
Lyle Lovett is always great, but this venue was special (good acoustics, not too large), and I really enjoyed his acoustic band. He gave them each some time in the spotlight. The first set was mostly from his newest album (Release Me) plus a few other songs (mostly covers). My one complaint was that he has SO many great songs from his previous albums that there was not time in the second set to do justice to his music as a whole.
What a great show! Loved the Uptown Theater and LOVED Lyle Lovett!!! Had a fabulous time!
