LPS on What to Wear
Make sure you bring a sweater for evening performance (even during summer)...it gets cold.

Always dress appropriately (weather-wise) for the Greek; it definitely gets cold in the evenings.

Great performance. Love the large band. Jazz, blues, country, gospel, folk, bluegrass, they covered it all. The Greek has excellent acoustics, much better than the Bowl.Written on Aug 10 2009

Goldstar Lover!!!
It's always nice to go to the Greek. We enjoyed Madeleine Peyroux -- who was new to us. Loved Lyle Lovett! He is so funny, entertaining, talented, fun to watch/hear!Written on Aug 10 2009

Lyle Lovett is a fantastic performer. His Large Band was perfectly showcased at the Greek and sounded incredible. Even though we were at the back of the B section, you could see pretty well and the sound was amazing. But for the guys behind us stinking up the area with pot, it was a lovely experience.Written on Aug 10 2009

XLNT performance!! Saw him on New Year's Eve a couple years ago at Walt Disney Concert Hall and he was great, but he was even better on 8/7/09 at the Greek. The show lasted approx. 2 hours, and it remained very entertaining throughout. Lyle blends a lot of subtle humor throughout the performance(s), and is very much a part of his "Large Band". We would see him again in a heartbeat!Written on Aug 10 2009

Description
No one writes songs like Lyle Lovett. Finely wrought and full of wit, wisdom and Texas-sized storytelling, the veteran singer/songwriter’s catalog is rife with characters and concepts that loom large on the American landscape.
Lyle Lovett is a four time Grammy winner and has led a remarkable career which includes 13 albums and over four million records sold. His music uniquely intersects an array of genres from country and folk to bigband swing and traditional pop as evidenced by such revered albums as Lyle Lovett, Pontiac, Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, Joshua Judges Ruth and The Road To Ensenada. It’s Not Big It’s Large, Lovett’s latest collection, has been one of the most acclaimed efforts of his career. The album contains big, contemporary themes, but it is Lovett’s gift to make the deep thoughts slide down like honey. USA Today heralded his “Texas-sized cowboy jazz,” as the Wall Street Journal declared Lovett has “been widening the reach of country music for over 20 years,” while praising the “dozen new tracks that touch on country and folk as well as blues jazz and gospel.” The memorable songs include “I Will Rise Up/Ain’t No Cane,” the poignant “South Texas Girl,” the infectious, upbeat “Up in Indiana.” and the rueful ballad “Don’t Cry a Tear.”
Madeleine Peyroux has gone from performing on the streets of Paris to headlining her own shows. Along the way, she has received critical
acclaim for her kittenish voice and behind-the-beat phrasing that both
echoes and reinterprets jazz and blues greats Billie Holiday, Bessie
Smith and Ma Rainey.
