Spoon July 13th The Sylvee Madison, WI - photo by Dave Robbinsįor a band promoting a new album and the fifteen anniversary of another, Austin’s Spoon seemed equally psyched to dip into their deep catalog and play fan favorites. Speaking of, “ the irrefutable logic of a two-year old,” after performing, “ Pants Are Overrated,” Lovett brought his dry wit and deadpan delivery in perfect harmony to the low-key atmosphere of musicians chatting, interviewing each other as fans as much as colleagues, calling each other their hero and praising albums, songs and the people who played on them. Generations and traditions came across in Lovett’s, “ 12th of June,” whose own life arc had him waxing about being a first-time father late in life. Marriage, children, love, all figured prominently in Hiatt’s, “ Georgia Rae,” who then touched hearts by announcing the subject of the song, his baby daughter is about to have her own baby. Emphasizing the homey nature of their show, the conversations often centered around the inspirations found in families. While you were asked not to take pictures of the show, John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett had you covered, painting pictures with their songs and in an acoustic evening sitting around trading stories, these two iconic songwriters colored their lyrical inspirations with rambling anecdotes, sly jokes, friendly teasing and open admiration.
