Lyle Lovett & His Large Band w/ Kris Kristofferson – August 19th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 4 min read

Lyle Lovett’s ability to cross-over musical genres is equal only to his ability to cross-over from the performance stage to the big screen. Rarely in any performance will you hear so many different flavors of music. From Gospel to Rock, he covered a lot of miles while never leaving his Texas Swing roots. Couple that level of diversity in material with his “Large Band,” and you have a show as predictable as Colorado weather.

It is not his physical stature, which is formidable, but the raw emotion he pours out in his songs and playing. Simply put it’s his presence that is the most commanding. Opening with “Carnage,” he foreshadowed the night ahead, as he trampled the audience, stole our souls, and left our bodies just lying there.
