Bonnie Raitt / Lyle Lovett Tour

Yes, I saw Bonnie in May at the Majestic in San Antonio and she was fantastic. She played all her best stuff. I've seen Lyle before live and know he gives a great performance as well. I can imagine that the two together is one not to miss! As much as I have spent in perfecting my Home Theater and hifi, live concerts (if you sit close enough) as still the best.

Thanks for your insight, I plan to attend the August show in Saratoga, NY. Looking forward to a great show. Lyle is awesome, and it will be the first time I see Bonnie Raitt live.

I heartily agree. Caught them at Ravinna (suburban Chicago). Lovett is off the crutches, but still had a cast. He had to sit in chair to perform. His set was kinda' short, but very effective. Bonnie's voice was showing signs of strain and the band was a little shakey on the first two songs, but everything worked itself out and they ended up putting on a great set. This was my first time for either artists and I would gladly do it again.

Ah...!
FLASHBACK: "Let's go grab some houmas and baba ganoush at the Welles, honey." "Anybody playing tonight?" "Oh, Bonnie's probably there again, so it'll be fun." "Yeah, but she's always a bit loud and scratchy. And you just like her bod!" "Aw, c'mon, maybe someone else will jump in, too, like
one of those blues players she hangs with. Plus we can go see Harder They Come for the sixteenth time at midnight next door if she gets repetitious or too drunk again." "Can't we ever do something NEW, Ern?"

FLASHFORWARD:
"Wow, honey, Terence Blanchard's new CD has Diana, Nora, Dianna, and Jane all singing solos with his band! Wanna sit and listen on our Parsifal/Aleph/EMC-1 MKII system, and y'know, cuddle?" "Aw, I think there's a rerun of ER on."

Nuff said?!
