The sound quality of this concert is freaking amazing. Yes, it's a bootleg (and a soundboard), but it's hard to imagine a concert being recorded any better. During the quiet parts between songs, you could have heard a pin drop. The performance is excellent too, and the set list is strong. If you were to listen to just one live recording from him, I would suggest this one, even over his one official live album, "Live in Texas." That one came out in 1999, so not too distant in time from this one, but many of the songs performed are different anyway. Besides, this one is nearly twice as long!
Lovett has typically performed his concerts with three backing bands: his Large Band, his Small Band, and in an even smaller acoustic format. This concert was performed with his Large Band.
I wish all bootlegs were this easy to deal with. Not only is the sound quality fantastic, there were no problems to fix. The only change I made was that I cut out some dead air between songs, mostly guitar tuning.
This concert is an hour and 55 minutes long.

The cover photo was taken at a concert at the Medinah Temple in Chicago, Illinois, on November 12, 1997. The colors were quite messed up, with his skin tone too red to be human. I tried to fix it in Photoshop, but the colors are probably still a bit off.
I saw Lyle as he opened for Bonnie Raitt in 2002. He was with his 'large band' and I didn't know what to expect. He was great, with a very interesting musical style mixed in with some comedy. Thanks very much for this one!
ReplyDeleteimagenetz won't do the countdown to the download. Therefore I can't get it. Anybody else have this problem?
ReplyDeleteimagenetz can be glitchy. Sometimes I need to F5 (reset the web page to get it to do it's thing. Then sometimes, clicking on the link after the countdown stops, it freezes with an advertisement. Just hit F5 again and try again. That should do it, but let me know.
DeleteThanks for the tip Gman. Still not working for me. I'll keep trying though.
DeleteJust in case you're curious, the reason why I use imagenetz for some download links and not others is because I favor upload.ee, but they don't allow downloads larger than 200 MB, which equals about an hour and a half of music. So I use imagenetz for the bigger ones. But if anyone wants to provide alternate download links for any albums I post, I wouldn't mind in the slightest. The more, the better.
DeleteThanks for the explanation, Paul. I've used imagenetz before with no problem, that is why I asked if anyone else was having a problem. It's like it froze up and won't initiate the countdown. I'll try again later.
DeleteThat's so very odd. I didn't have any issue downloading this one. Maybe I could forward the zip file to you?
DeleteThanks Paul & Gman for the efforts. The link didn't work this morning but I downloaded a small DL through imagenetz at another site. When that one worked I quickly came back here and it worked too. Strange. But I've got it now.
DeleteAh technology! It's so helpful when it works. But when it doesn't, there is nothing more frustrating. My recent issue is why my qbittorrent won't connect and allow me to download P2P. I'm stumped...
DeleteImagenetz is very troublesome for me, so I'm not surprised it's troublesome for others. For instance, when I try uploading a file there, about half the time the upload seems to go okay, but then the file doesn't show up. Sometimes I have to do it several times before it sticks.
