System Requirements:
The genre-hopping work of Lyle Lovett has seen him blossom from a country-based singer/songwriter, to an assured artist unafraid to take on numerous different styles. His country roots are partly explained by this Texas upbringing, but he soon branched out and enjoyed huge crossover success with his subtle blending of ideas from folk, jazz and rock backgrounds. This spectacular live show sees him performing with the backing of a 26 piece orchestra, and a 16 piece band. The material mainly focuses on his album from 2003, "Smile," which was a collection of cover versions of music from American films. Legendary singer/songwriter Randy Newman joins Lovett to duet on several songs, and he also sticks around to perform a couple of solo turns in Lyle's absence. Trumpeter Mark Ishman is the other notable guest, ably helping to bring the show to a beautiful close as Lovett shows off his eclectic tastes by working his way through a number of gospel classics.

Buy it, you'll like it.......2007-03-24
I guess I'm becoming impatient for the new Lyle Lovett Live DVD. I bought this one to hold me over until then. I hadn't researched this one much so I didn't know what to expect when I purchased it. On first listen, I am impressed. I didn't know most of the songs since I only have Joshua Judges Ruth and His Large Band on CD. The song material is different than those two cd's so this is a bit of a change. In my opinion, it's not as bluesy or folky, but maybe more jazzy... i don't know, how do you categorize this guy? The sound quality is good, the video quality is good. If you like Lyle Lovetts music, you really can't miss.
All you need is the CD.......2005-09-20
The music is enjoyable, but Lyle has no stage presence whatsoever and honestly, his facial expressions and looks are very distracting from the music. Not to sound mean, but he has the perfect face for radio.
FANTASTIC!!!.......2004-12-23
Not one, but TWO of my favorite artists (Lyle Lovett & Randy Newman), together in one concert! Add to that Lyle's "Large Band", his long time singing partner Francine Reed, trumpet player Mark Isham, and a complete orchestra, and you've got a stage filled with amazing talent!
The program starts off with Lyle singing hits from various movies. About mid-concert Randy Newman performs 3 of his compositions. Lyle then comes back to finish up with several non-movie related songs from his past releases. All-in-all, a wonderful mix of songs, all packed nicely into an 81 minute concert.
Video was captured using High Definition equipment and looks sharp.
Audio (the 5.1 track) sounds rich and clean.
If you're a Lovett or Newman fan you're going to enjoy this one.

great content, technically challenged.......2004-11-22
Well, it's hard to go wrong with Lyle. This dvd gets a 4 because of the content. He is in rare form with the "large band" being as great as ever including some phenomenal vibes with Francine Reed.It was good to see them all together again and the thing about Lyle in this dvd is he really seems to be LOVING being there. Randy Newman and Mark Isham were awesome. There are great shots of him and the band and I will confess that I didn't know he had blue eyes until now!
Anyway, the biggest disappointment for me was the sound. Almost returned the disc and thought better of it. I think it is just the way it is. It goes from a full concert/stereo big sound to a canned, far away sound. That is the only way I can describe it. I am curious to know if others had the same problem. It also seemed like the lighting could have been better and the vision sharper. I am comparing this to some James Taylor DVD's and a Sarah Macglaughlan (sp?) that I have. Great content, but technically lacking.
