It will be so good to be home Monday with Maureen, and Marcello and Rossano, and Romeo! 💕 ✨️ Thank you so much for filming these venues on your Lyle Lovett Large Band Summer Tour 2024! ☀️ 💕 ✨️
Hey Lee, any of these old theatres haunted? Would be good do a tour in the dark with a flashlight. Unless you're too chicken.... ;)
Leland mentioned that he and Russ have 4 days of recording in Nashville following the end of this leg so the homecoming may be delayed. This was a great tour. We caught two excellent shows!
👍
Evening Lee and all

Thank you for taking us along on your summer tour. Wishing everyone a safe journey home.💙💙🙏
I’m sure Maureen and the boys will be excited to have you back home. Sleeping in your own bed is always so comforting too
I was born and raised in Akron. I lived there until about 15 years ago when I moved for work. I have to admit I have never been to the theater. Shows there are a recent thing and most were at the Akron Civic or EJ Thomas.
Thanks, Leland, for the tour of the Goodyear Theater. I enjoyed your video. I live in Akron, Ohio, and have never been inside this place.
I worked for Goodyear in the 1980's, and was only in the theater once. I remember incorrectly that it was much smaller.
I don’t miss the road at all but I do miss the variety of foods and cultures that you get to enjoy, when I took classes in music theory I would go to Farrells ice cream parlor and get a chocolate malt for the drive home. I miss those days. Thanks for the videos and be safe getting home.
The netting was chicken wire in the WV dives I played during college years... always reminded me of The Blues Brothers scene in the original flick... but as Mom says on occasion "we were younger then and could take it..." applies so often in current context... safe travels Lee.. Z.
That Theatre is part a huge complex built for the Goodyear Tire Company’s Employees. It was opened in 1920 and is a great representation of the old school manufacturing mindset of Corporate America. The building was a one stop shop that served all of the needs of the tire workers. One of the cool things about those days is that they had employee bands,orchestras and choirs that all performed in that theatre.
So cool to see You in my home town !!!!!! Hope Maureen is back to normal and all healed up!!!!! Rock on Lee!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Lee! Thank you and enjoy your well deserved break at home!!!!!!!!!!
Good afternoon, Lee! ❤🥰
Nice indoor venue for tonight's show. I'll be missed seeing everyone and all of the places you take us, but at the same time, I know you'll be glad to be home with Maureen and the pups! I can only imagine how big Romeo is now! 🐶🐶🐶🩵💙🩵🩷

Akron IIRC, had Goodyear,
Firestone, Goodrich and a few more smaller tire/rubber firms in the metro area of Cleveland…
Historical city, vulcanization of rubber, tires, industry, beautiful theater, Thanks Leland, Hope you had fun tonight! Doug
I live down the street from this theatre and I had a coworker that said that when Goodyear still made rubber locally there was about 2 inches (6 cm) of rubber soot on top of the cars everyday. We were also on a "hit list" from the Soviet Union to be nuked because of how big our rubber industry was.
@@ADJLfanatic52 wow 2 inches of rubber dust on cars Hope people who worked there and lived nearby had good masks to wear. Rubber Lung disease
The smell was terrible in the 1970's.
Evening Leland, almost final tour time🤣🤣

At the start of this one, I saw the U-Haul and for just about a half second thought "there's the equip... oh... right, different world here...". (Although, if you have an opener...) One problem with taking a building tour. Right at the start, you can tell this is one of those places where there is a theater in a building full of other stuff; office spaces, maybe apartments upstairs. So just loads of hallways with nothing but doors where, if you did open it and walk in, somebody might get crabby. In Toledo, there is the Valentine Theater (actually a good venue for this tour, but they don't seem to book music). It's actually a much different place, now, from the original, long story, full renovation and rework long ago, but the old place was similar, with a theater. (Edit to clarify; both the original version and the reworked current version both had/has a theater, but much different.) In the old version, decades ago (I am old), the upper floors held the offices, TV, and radio studios of WGTE, the local public broadcasting operation. Up top, third or fourth floor, was the TV studio, a huge two story high space. Similar building here, it seems. The gym here was a surprise, but how much you want to bet that has hosted some rock shows (because we can't have those ruffians in the NICE theater)? I can imagine something like coming across photos of Led Zeppelin there in 1970 or something like that.
I will miss these excursions documenting the life of working musicians and all that make it roll on down the road. A ‘malted milkshake’ brings back its own memory roadshow. ☘
Thank you all for such a great show last night! Loved every minute of it.
Thank you so much for doing these. Already waiting for the next tour videos. Already the next to last one..
@Leland Sklar, Safe travels to the last show & back Home to Maureen. Thank you again ever so much for these daily vlogs which makes me feel like I have been on the road with you & the Large Band. I hope to meet you someday maybe on the next LB tour. Was crushed I didn’t get to meet you yet. ~ Anita3kids in NJ
Hey Lee, crazy venue with respect to a gymnasium.... who would have thought at a music venue eh?? Thanks for the tour!!
Yay! Chocolate malts! 🎉💕
You might want to store more ice cream, another 'heat dome' is forecasted 🫤
@@artemisXsidecross I made it out and restocked last night just around 9pm. Circled the Walgreens, the outgoing mailboxes in the big parking lot, and the United grocery. Then refilled a water jug outside with better tasting reverse osmosis. Got back before the ice cream melted and got it in the freezer. Got the moo bars from Bluebell, which used to be Borden. We have an old Borden building here in town. One of the bus drivers used to work there when it, still had ice cream inside and the offices too. I think his picture is still on the moo bars package. He's the one we all called "medium Jeff"
and lots of other passengers called him Howdy Doody. 🤠 I could not find the Great Divide, so I got Milk Chocolate in the probably half gallon bucket and fell for getting another one of those they are calling Oatmeal Creme Cookie, like those Little Debbie soft cookie sandwiches. So it's funny! We were on the same page of restocking the ice cream. There were a few banana popsicles left in my freezer, and something like generic otter pops, This'll probably all last till December at least. The forecast for the next ten days is all highs over a hundred again. ...and our pool has been out of commission since about two weeks ago. Finally got my new swimsuit though. It apparently was on tour for a month and half. I'm ready to start breaking that thing in. Last night's walk helped tremendously. Had been in too long.
Was hoping to find some flowers that tolerate full sun. Still on the search. United was out of most of their outdoor plants. I like those dianthus, because they hold up in desert conditions and are so interactive in a tactile way. They have a night time behavior and a daytime behavior. They need water every three days, with that wicking set up.

Where there is a will there is a way, glad to hear you stocked up and we walkers or public transportation users know the drama of getting frozen foods home still frozen. It is a task of its own.
Here in California we have 4,521 wild fires and the Park Fire has burned 353,194 acres since 7/26 and is only 12% contained at 09:10 PDT on 7/28. ☮⚠
@@artemisXsidecross I have worried about all of y'all living in California with all the fires and also when it floods and quakes. Apparently we've had some not far away quakes here in the last three days, but I have not felt any of those.
Wonderful tour of the Goodyear Theater, Lee. Love that view from top of the balcony. Built in 1920 as the Goodyear Hall, specifically designed for the enjoyment of Goodyear employees, it screams Art Deco era. True survivor & a great old theater, indeed. 😉
I really enjoyed the videos you’ve done of your stops in my home state of Ohio. Even though I’ve lived here my whole life I haven’t been to all these different venues but got to have a great look from the videos you took and posted. We have a couple theaters in my hometown of Mount Vernon, Ohio. The Memorial theater and the oldest authentic 19th century theater in the country, The Woodward. Maybe we’ll see you here someday.
very much enjoy the videos and theaters , watch most of the them .....all the Best
The Goodyear campus was Completed in 1920, the industrial university recreational instution was developed by The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for the welware of it's employees at the cost of $500 millions dollars for the entire streetscape enhancements and the work done to the Little Cuyahoga River, which runs through the Goodyear campus. The building included an auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,548 the largest stage and theater in Akron in its time and one of the largest in the state of Ohio. Goodyear Hall is is part of Arkon's historic Goodyear campus of 5.5.million square feet of of buildings spread over 400 acres. Such acts as Pink Floyd, RayCharles, Bruno Mars, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Primus, Smashing Pumpkins, Jason Isbell and City and Colour/Noah Gunderson and many more plays host this evening to Lyle Lovett and His Large Band. This will be an evening filled with great county and western tunes, many written by Lyle, a touch of jazz and the opporunity to sit back and relax and take in Lyle's Texas sense of humor.
Thanks Philip.. ☮️ 🧙🏼♂️ 💖👍
WOW. Great road trip.......Getting home to Maureen and the pups.......God bless......Ralph Onofrio.......Your drummer buddy from Connecticut.
Was just in Akron about a month ago. Awesome city.
When I was a kid , we used to watch Championship Bowling 🎳 from Akron , Ohio. I believe the town was referred to as "The Rubber Capitol of the World".
You must be thrilled to be heading home to Maureen and the pups! Thank you so much for sharing your tours. Safe travels❤🇨🇦✌️
Have a great gig tonight...and thank you for all your updates!
Thanks Lee!!!!! Enjoy the night!!!!!
Whoa - you were right in my backyard, Lee! Hope you’re home safely - or at least getting close - by now!
Aw, man, I didn't realize you guys were going to be in Akron; I'm 40 minutes away and found out too late. Bet you put on an incredible show! Hope you enjoyed your time in northeast Ohio.
Another awesome looking venue. I wish Maureen all the best. Cheers, Leland! 🙏✌️
Oh I really enjoyed this.
Good one Le! Would've loved to see a close up of that basketball floor.
In the 90's my daughters southern Ohio high school band would do the 20 hour bus ride to Disney World. Usually snowing when we left Ohio. With my spinal pain I'd lay in the isle most of the time. Arrive at Disney and suit up and march. One adult overloaded and plugged the bus toilet passing through West Virginia and you couldn't breath. Going through Georgia the air conditioning broke. I'd fly down and meet them there after that.
I’ve been to the Goodyear headquarters in Akron. There is a huge rubber belted escalator in the main lobby. Very unique..
What a surprise the basketball court. !!! Haha
Hope you had a good gig Take care. !!!
Speaking of Dallas Mr Sklar . Are you aware of the little known tune from Steely Dan called 'Dallas' ? Featuring the late ,great drummer Jim Hodder on lead vocals and the brilliant Mr Geoff 'Skunk ' Baxter on pedal steel guitar . Its one of those rare tunes that once you hear it ,it stays with you all day long . Dallas to LA .. you'll be home in jig time .
The lobby has a "Mad Men" vibe. What a cool venue!
👋👋. Troupers! Hope everybody has a smooth time getting home and a good break!
Love a good chocolate malt!!!!!! Was going to tell you Handels is to the right by starbucks!!!!!!
Thanks Lee ✌🏻
Really pretty azaleas
Welcome Leland!
Good trip!!!! ❤
My favorite part is when you were walking down that gray stairwell with the off white walls.
The Goodyear Theatre is certainly an interesting complex however the theatre itself sounds quite live. Every venue poses a unique challenge for the FOH.
I never knew that the theatre even existed and I grew up here 70 yrs now
Thank you for pronouncing Akron correctly! It's been a while since I've had the pleasure of seeing you just up the road at Blossom, can't wait until the next time!
great show tonight !!!!
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

Get some real rest Brother! My best to Maureen & the Boys. its the old "if you don't take best care of you, you cant do the same for those you love... Doing same here for Mom in OH... 😎🙏🏼✌ Z.
Sometimes the angles in these buildings are so complex yet stark it’s like being in some old Italian movie !!!
Wow, the chicken wire comment reminded me of the Blues Brothers! Musicians should not have dodge beer bottle. Some people are like animals. UK is not as bad. Come & play here for us! Have a good gig!
😎👍👍
Homeward bound to your loved ones😎

Love Brother
I'll bet we crossed paths here in Akron
Wish I would have spotted you Leland
My wife and I were just there as we passed by to reminisce her daddy's life
He retired from Goodyear many moons ago
Double Time Bar are my memories of that street
Oh no didn’t know you were there!
Brad could practice sax in that GYM!!!!!!!
Watching Big Sky. Guess who’s on season 3?

Did you say chocolate malts Yum?
Thumbnail looks like a scene from The Shining :)
Thanks for the tours Lee. You’ll get a warm welcome from Maureen, and the boys soon. I have a question if you don’t mind. Once the sound engineers dial in a room, do they have to make any on the fly changes to account for the audience?
Always
Ty for the views.
Cool house…can’t believe how fast this leg flew by, although maybe not for you. And Lyle didn’t have the decency to book a gig near me, so we could get together this summer. 😎 Have fun, I’m sure it’ll be great to see the boys again. 🖕
Get back here! 😄😄🐰
❤
Why no captions anymore?
Ah no rubber museum... 😊
No Brad?! WTF!
How about a tour of Japan?
Your big in Japan!
Would go in a second. Been there many times and love it.
When does the second leg start Lee
Late Sept.
Why couldn't y'all fly from Indy?
Did it smell like a tire store in there? :)
Wish!
Where's Brad? He must be hiding from you today
So Brad defeated you this time ? 😅
He was still looking for a spot.
