Steve Earle Can Tell A Story!

Favorite moment: Started a song and made a mistake then laughed and kept on going. @

Opening act(s): Tom Morello opened... Bad. Funny bad. Would not see Morello again on a bet. Might not buy tickets to a show if I knew he was on the bill. Too much good music out there to waste time on a guy that takes it for granted that much. @

Steve Earle was great. Fun music, great storyteller. Love the way he plays that guitar.

High point for me was Jericho Road .

I would definately see Steve Earle again. Amazing music.

Steve is on the top of his game, balancing Townes material with his own and music with storytelling. Awesome show!

Favorite moment: Last song, "This Land is Your Land" with Tom Morello with the audience jumping up and down. @

Opening act(s): Tom Morello played an amazing set, even doing one Rage song. Later, he came out to do "Lungs" and "This Land is Your Land" with Steve Earle, what an experience! @

I have never seen Steve Earle before and have just become a fan over the past couple of years. The show focused on songs from "Townes", telling stories and sharing memories of his experiences with Townes Van Zandt. I noticed he often looked at what appeared to be lyrics on the floor, later in the show he admitted that there weren't too many songs he knew all the way through, I appreciated his honesty. His stories about his life and insights about different songs really made the show feel special. (The historic venue didn't hurt either!) He dedicated "City of Immigrants" to the Korean owner of the deli near his home in New York, who learned Spanish so he could talk with his workers; it felt like we were being chastised and called to action at the same time.

Not having seen Steve Earle before, I wasn't sure what to expect. Folk music is my first love, and this is what Steve delivered, along with some serious Blues. Steve Earle reminded me of John Prine. John is my favorite artist , right behind Neil Young.
This was the "Steve Earle plays Townes Van Zant" show. What I got was one man playing one instrument. Steve played the best of Townes Van Zant and the best of Steve Earle.
It was my kind of concert and I look forward to seeing Steve again.
The Lexington Ky Opera House is very nice, and a great place to see a show. I believe it seats around 900 people, and it was the first Opera House in the South.

Please stop serving alcohol at concerts. Leave the drunks at home. Show some respect for the Muse. Peace out and God Bless You.

Another great Steve Earle acoustic show! Great music, great stories, perfect venue! He is, in my opinion, one of the best songwriters of the last 30 years, and he should not be missed if he plays anywhere near you. He played for 2 hours non-stop, covering nearly all of the songs from his latest record (a tribute to his mentor, the late Townes Van Zant), and a great mix of songs covering his 30+ years as a singer/songwriter.

Songs were okay, but acoustics needed refined. Hard to understand the lyrics. Not sure why he felt the need to tell us that he loved Obama, and that he was doing a good job. He also took some jabs at Bush, coal mining, and oil. Said that we are running out of oil. I felt like I was at a DNC meeting. When I go to a concert, I expect music and some entertainment. I don't want to hear politics, their world views......etc.
Musical artist need to simply do the job they were hired for, and leave politics alone. I don't think that a 54 year old, ex-junkie converted anyone last night to the democratic party. Just pissed some people off!!

He is very talented and so is his wife Allison, great venue to see performances, so much better than stadium and arena acts, this is a performer, their instrument and the audience. Glad he made it this many years and can still make music that has meaning.

I went to see Steve Earle and fell in love with Allison Moorer. Both did wonderful jobs with only an acoustic instrument and a harmonica from time to time. Lexington was one of the few sold out performances for Steve on this tour and he made sure how much he appreciated the support. He worked hard for two hours giving the audience lots of tunes from his new CD and throwing in a couple of suprises such as an Emmylou Harris tune. If you ever have the chance to see him, don't pass it up.

The show opened with Allison Moorer who has an amazing voice. Both her and steve only had a microphone and thier guitars. Nothing else to clutter up the stage or thier sound. When Steve came out, he was amazing! His show was great and he told great stories between songs. At one point, He and Allison did a duet that was awesome! This was my first Steve Earle show, but it will not be my last!

Tribute to Townes Van Zandt was so incredibly soulful. Liberty Hall was packed but crowd was very cool, most people knew all of the songs so it felt really intimate. Steve's wife sang a couple songs with him and that too was amazing. She has a really gorgeous, smooth liquid voice that harmonized beautifully with his more rough and raw vocal style. After two standing ovations, the show sadly came to an end. Great event. Great evening.

Remarkably entertaining given it was solo and acoustic. Steve Earle is a very talented musician and singer songwriter and it definitely shown through in this concert. I regard him as an American icon, however I could do without all the preaching (that applies to all entertainers these days). Anyone who listens to his songs could probably figure out where he stood on an issue.

All in all, I highly recommend this event especially to Steve Earle fans.
