• Vince Gill: ® resonator guitar, acoustic guitar, vox;
• Lyle Lovett: acoustic guitar, vox.

A fine and mellow evening tonight, regaled by songs and stories from two old friends. Kinda like sittin' around in a giant living room, just shooting the breeze. It would be interesting to review the setlists from the other shows (8 more?) on this mini-tour to see how varied they are. I probably should have made more of an effort to keep track of when Lyle sang harmony with Vince (I don't recall him playing backup guitar ever), or when Vince sang harmony or played lead for Lyle, but it was so dark in the theater that I was hard-pressed just to keep a legible setlist.

Both guys had several guitars onstage, and swapped between them kind of randomly (different tunings? I dunno, neither commented on the swaps); except for noting Vince's use of a resonator guitar early in the show, that's another bit of ephemera that I didn't try to keep track of tonight.
