I love this repartee. So neat to hear their collective history. I enjoy Lyle’s loyalty to his old friends. Thanks for another visit from Austin, Leland!
Having used Kiwi polish on cowboy boots back in the early 70's I got a chuckle hearing how they named the band. Enjoyed hearing them play in yesterdays video. Good that they all kept in touch, I can't even locate guys I played with in the 70's. I think substance abuse got the best of most of them.
I hope that these guys keep on trucking I loved their music 🎶 🎵 that you posted last 🌙 🌉. Love the comrades breaking it all down the orgins of the name and the stories of knowing Lyle Lovett. Thank you for this post. Stay safe be safe Leland Sklar.
LEE I love that you brought LYLE in on this INTERVIEW that is such RESPECT to LYLE and to KIWI!!!!! Love Lyle knocking on the door GREAT touch!!!!! Hi Lyle!!!! Hi Kiwi!!!!! You guys were GREAT last night!!!!! Just be ready there is a girl band from MONGOLIA named "KIWI" so get your rights to the name in the U.S. if you have not!!!!!!! Call yourselves 'Kiwi the BOY band"!!!!!!
When Lyle referenced the coffee house at A&M it took me down memory lane. I saw Mance Lipscomb at the coffee house at Texas A&M one weekend, I believe in 1973, I think cover charge for students was around 2.75 per head and had a front row seat. Great experience and glad I went. He was a true bluesman and used his pocket knife as slide in his playing. Nice trip down memory lane. Love Lyle's account of the band and how he let them stay at his apartment.
Is that the same coffee house with A&M where him and REK used to hang out? It's a shame Rob's hanging it up this year going to focus more I guess on his Americana podcasting instead of making music
Lee, I was at the show last night at the Moody - all of it was so fantastic. As a longtime working musician though, my absolute favorite element was just watching you and Russ work together. It did my heart and soul a lot of good. Thank you.
Just Great 👍 I've been waiting for Lyle to show up in your videos, what a treat, so natural and down to earth. Kiwi are amazing!..an old new discovery and what a great story. Thanks Leland.
Thanks Leland for all these road trip videos and it all come to an end tonight ! Have a safe trip home and looking forward to seeing more videos from your home !
Sometimes kindness begets kindness. It’s so good to see that in action here - and of course talent. We’re proud of David Lloyd over here in Apalachicola, Florida!
Well from one Kiwi to you three guys, no apology needed for your choice of name . you were great and so cool that Leland showed us your set. you should bring your act down to NZ one day, just remember to bring that old dude on bass with you.
@@Ian-Steele Hi Ian, I think he might already be one, he's been here a couple of times way back plus he does all that stuff with Brett McKenzie. On that basis alone I'd grant him citizenship.
@@sceiron1 I have to agree with Lee being an honorary Kiwi. So many Kiwis get called Aussies here and then there is still that thing about pavlova. I have never really understood why they called Split Enz and Dragon and a few great other acts Aussies when they deserved to be recognised as Kiwis. Have to say The All Blacks are unbelievable and run all over our weird mob that call themselves The Wallabies.
@@steven_scattergood well the ABs didn't do too well tonight. first ever loss to the Pumas on home soil, sigh. I guess there's only one way to go from here and hopefully that's up. 🙄
Very cool video..Lyle is a smooth storyteller. Wild that these guys hadn’t played together in so many years. What a thoroughly entertaining group of gents, also great storytellers…..Thanks so much for all the effort you put into documenting this tour. Stay safe🖕
Thank you all for sharing this reminiscence and stories of past days leading to the present. Black KIWI and military go hand in hand, but who won the lid of cannabis?
This is great and they are such cool dudes and to have Lyle there is just amazing. Love the story of the bands name. I remember watching a movie once where the band was called ‘Soft Fruit’ so I half expected Kiwi Fruit to be in there somewhere. Great stuff brother and hi to all the Kiwis ‘across the ditch’ from Aus. 🖐👍😎
So awesome that Lyle did this for Kiwi. John Fannin is one of the nicest people in the Austin music scene and glad to see him playing again. Long live Kiwi!
The already great videos from the tour just keep getting better and better; now also with choreography (Lyle is there and knocks on the door...). Lyle, whom I didn't really know before, became really sympathetic to me because of his appearance in the videos; now I have to listen to his music a little more closely... Everybody loves Lyle and Lee ... and Brad and Yogi and and and ....
That was sweet and tangy........like a kiwi...awwww!! Oh before I scram...someone should record Lee as he plays part of the last tune of the tour tomo.
Hey Lee, we had so much fun being on tour with you, hate to see it end! But, I know you will be glad to get home. I think it would be so cool for you to post a video with the planning and logistics of how you get home, arrange for your gear to be shipped. The behind the scenes really fascinate me...
Saw the show right after this video was shot. Kiwi was outstanding. You guys should record your tracks, even in a home studio for your descendants to hear if nothing else.
Did I hear these guys in the early 70's open at Red Rocks for Waylon & Willie? I remember they played "Ode to Billie Joe" for about 15 minutes and it wasn't enough!
Well this was unexpected but sure was fun. Nice to hear the history of the name kiwi. And why did the Beatles named the group The Beatles?????? I still don’t know. 😬😬😬 anyone????
@Wim Gesquierre. I read somewhere that it had something to do with the term "Beat Group" as opposed to the insect beetles, however, I stand to be corrected if someone has something better than what I read..
What is the name of their group? Do they have albums on CDs? If they don't have any albums they need to create one immediately. They are awesome!! Let them know.
After watching the video yesterday, I Googled 'Kiwi band' and got everything from fruit to a Korean K-pop girl group, but nothing on these guys. Mystery solved!

Yes, you said what I was thinking. Didn't know Lyle was so cool and down to earth.

Another day hanging with the Old Cats. Lyle, the Kiwis, Lee & his fans. Not a bad lineup....!
Thanks Lee for all of this.

Shared long history has its own soul patina that can't develop any other way. Thanks for sharing this. 😄
This is terrific. Old friends, and new friends, trading stories. How great can it get?

😎 Kiwi! I really like their sound. Looks like so much fun! Those spoons…yahoo! Toe tapping music 🎶
My old man was a dab hand on the spoons, mum on the other hand was not impressed, ruined several sets in the cutlery drawer. 🤣🤣

Big fan of Lyle and REK thru yrs

Wow so they just got back together after 41 years......They played like they have been together SINCE 1976!!!!!!
Just Great 👍 I've been waiting for Lyle to show up in your videos, what a treat, so natural and down to earth.
Kiwi are amazing!..an old new discovery and what a great story. Thanks Leland.
A good bunch there. Fine stories too. Great having the chance to meet everyone, thx!
FYI, the name KIWI was worth the lid.... great story.
Lyle is so gracious. Thanks for the interview.
Wow. what a great interview with Lyle and his friends...thanks Lee!
Great Video!!!! Thank you sooo much!
Safe travels home 🏡!
Lots of Love and Blessings!!!!
One of the best videos yet Mr. Sklar! Thanks!
Thanks Leland for all these road trip videos and it all come to an end tonight ! Have a safe trip home and looking forward to seeing more videos from your home !
One more show tomorrow! Home Sunday
@@lelandsklar6363 from time to time when u are at home you talk about having trouble sleeping well but I've not heard u mention it on tour
@@lastnamefirst4035 You missed the Minnesota bus ride. He said he couldn't sleep so he sat up front with the bus driver.
@@randyschiffer3265 Hey Randy actually I did see that probably around 3 am for me bc I have chronic insomnia
@@randyschiffer3265 On an unrelated matter the news reports lately show flooding in Tx. Has that been in your area?
The craziest thing about music is even if you haven't played together in years. The comrade comes right back like it's only been a couple of weeks.
Sometimes kindness begets kindness. It’s so good to see that in action here - and of course talent. We’re proud of David Lloyd over here in Apalachicola, Florida!
This is such a treat for those that don't have backstage passes. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Thats Great!! How Love to hear this stuff.. How friendships begin..and last...

What a great bunch of guys.
They remind me of when a bunch of my family used to get together to play for fun.
Those guys are a hoot!
I'd definitely like to hear more of their music
Thank you, Lee and Lyle 🙏
That was just so much fun
Thank you all for sharing this reminiscence and stories of past days leading to the present.
Black KIWI and military go hand in hand, but who won the lid of cannabis?
This was a joy. I can't wait to see Kiwi on the ACL broadcast. Thanks Leland and thanks to Lyle. 💛💛💛
Great fun and really interesting! Great guys the lot of you.
Thanks for bringing us into this great hang!
Leland these Austin videos are amazing, looks like a blast brother!! Thank you.
So good to see these guys together again! Thanks Leland for this! 💙

Hello Steven.
@@sceiron1 Been a bit tough but getting there cuz. I thought these cool dudes may have been actually Kiwis.Think we can make them honorary ‘bros’.
@@Mark_Brooks Hey Mark hope you are good. Will be in touch soon. Great to hear from you.
Lyle you area TRUE GENT like OUR LELAND!!!!!!
This is a great example of loyalty in a business that changes faces like the weather.
Thanks for the backstory, it makes your video last night all the more enjoyable.

I forgot all about Kiwi shoe polish. Shame on me because we sold that polish in our shoe store!
these kind of memories are awesome!!
Hope tonight went Great Leland this was an absolute TREAT!!!!! Thank you Brother!!!!!

I love seeing all the "behind the scenes" and hearing the cool stories. Thanks for sharing!
Thank You, so spontaneous. Great back story.
That’s so great to see my buddy David Lloyd in there! I wish we could’ve gotten to the show! Thanks for the video, Leland!
Fantastic!

The tour videos have been great entertainment.
This was so great! Love the history being discussed.
Awesom stuff! Nice to hang out and visit! Thanks!
Great! Thank you all -
This made my day.
Saw the show right after this video was shot. Kiwi was outstanding. You guys should record your tracks, even in a home studio for your descendants to hear if nothing else.
Love It Lee !! Jimmy ....
My favorite band origin name is for a band called Beau. The figured that would put them in the record store in the bin right next to the Beatles!
Excellent. Thank you.
Thank you......great guys
Sure love your “behind the scenes “
Another classic!
How wonderful was that!
The guy on the left is a world class guitar player
Great video.
Hey, Mr. Elskes! Good to see you’re still alive!
This was pure fun.
How about a link to their old album?
That was great.
Nice. Thank you.
JUST GREAT!
AWESOME!
This is a great lillte jit-chat.Make it a great show tonight.Wife,kids and smoothies await.
You should join them for some shows. I bet bass would make it sound even more awesome.
Morning Leland
✋🏼
👍👍 Cool!!!!!!!!!!
Did I hear these guys in the early 70's open at Red Rocks for Waylon & Willie? I remember they played "Ode to Billie Joe" for about 15 minutes and it wasn't enough!
John from Strait music!!!!
If this whole documentation of the tour was a deluxe ice cream sundae, you just put the chopped nuts on it. Thank you, thank you!!🖕🖕
...they don't do ' Dirty Deeds ' (AC/DC ),
do they ?!!!
...or maybe an alternate version....
perfect
Hey there, Lee and all!
Morning Winston
Well this was unexpected but sure was fun. Nice to hear the history of the name kiwi.
And why did the Beatles named the group The Beatles?????? I still don’t know. 😬😬😬 anyone????
@Wim Gesquierre. I read somewhere that it had something to do with the term "Beat Group" as opposed to the insect beetles, however, I stand to be corrected if someone has something better than what I read..
@@sceiron1 thank you 🙏🏻
I thought it was because they were fans of Buddy Holly and the Crickets....
@@SoundsFair--M-and-J probably that too, like I said I'll concede to a better / more correct answer
What is the name of their group? Do they have albums on CDs? If they don't have any albums they need to create one immediately. They are awesome!! Let them know.
So cool.
After watching the video yesterday, I Googled 'Kiwi band' and got everything from fruit to a Korean K-pop girl group, but nothing on these guys. Mystery solved!

coooooool ! 👍👍👍👍
