Lyle Lovett – 2014 Lowell Summer Music Series

photo365 – Day 229

I’ve seen Lyle 3 times, twice in the ‘Large Band’ formation. I prefer the large band for its greater depth of sound, broader dynamic range and diversity of tonal palette. During the course of the 2.5 hour show each of the 13 band members were highlighted to demonstrate their virtuosity. His wry humor, including an interaction with a sleepy 8 year old in the front row, was a delightful feature of this very entertaining and engaging show.

photo365 – Day 227

This is the second time I’ve seen him and he has grown as a performer. They performed ‘The Devil came up to Boston‘ and I was rolling in the aisle!
Because the series is family friendly they replaced the ‘harsh language’ with a whistle and it was hysterical! You can see a video of the original song in all it’s colorful language glory on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWVcIn7Q4Cc

This is Andrew Trube of JJ Grey & Mofros band illustrating an improper technique. He was swinging the instrument around by the cable and then slamming it down on the cymbals. I don’t think this is covered in his warranty.

photo365 – Day 221

My mojo was definatetly not workin’ yesterday.
It started at about 6:30AM when the line to set down your blankets for the show was released early while I was having a conversation with one of the series bigwigs. I lost my normal spot to a ‘runner’.

I’ve been looking foward to this show all season and was very disapointed by a strict ‘no pro cameras’ policy. My backup camera, the Canon SX230 HS, doesn’t do well in very low light and the lighting for this show was much dimmer than usual.

This shot is the best of an embarrasingly bad set of shots from this show.

photo365 – Day 215

What a difference a millisecond can make. In the blink before this image was captured the stage was under full lights. I’m not entirely unhappy with this shot; the red ads a bit of drama but it does make it less obvious that Carter is a good two feet in the air. 😉
