Lyle Lovett and his Small Large Band Tucson Concert reviews
Could have been awesome - but Shinedown was stupid loud
I took my daughter to see Lyle Lovett and his Small Large Band as one of her favorite bands (her first concert). Diamante and the Pretty Reckless opened and were quite good. Unfortunately, we had no choice than to use ear plugs for most of it. It was clear that Lyle Lovett and his Small Large Band was on point and put on a great show. Even then, I couldn't hear clearly out of one of my ears for 3 days. Then when Lyle Lovett and his Small Large Band started, it was immediately clear that the volume was way beyond the normal loud you expect at concerts - and we were a long way from the sound system. I'm used to a day or two of ringing - but again, this was over the top loud. Maybe next time. It was so loud that your ears hurt and you couldn't possibly enjoy the music. I don't know whether to blame the band or the Peoria Civic Center for letting that happen. The other two bands didn't have that issue. It was only the headliner.
