My father had a house at Chautauqua, right behind Norton Hall. We had a Highlander class sailboat on the lake. Many fun summers there working at the Athenaeum, till I joined the Navy in 1964.
What a lovely community and nice and open people.
Thank you for showing the beautiful area where I grew up nearby!!!
Thanks Leland for documenting these beautiful places and venues. But even more so kindly chatting with people as you walk outside the venues. Today's best one liner is " Tonite's the one that counts" shows dedication to the performance quality and that attendees know their gonna get 100% at the concert. I know that 'Me time' is a precious thing on the road and many days we get tired of talking. But you taking a brief moment to chat with those who say hello or ask a question, gives the general public a touch of the tour reality and that performers are not 'Stars' as in the ego sense of the word but normal people too. You are doing quite the PR and giving many here the real insights into touring at this level via these videos. Very much appreciated !
Wow stunning, how lucky are we to walk with you. Thanks for your time and generosity.
What a beautiful and interesting place! I love how everyone is casually strolling about and the sound of the children’s laughter. Thanks for all these great walking tours of the different venues and areas.
🤝
Yes, very nice. And relaxed.
WOW! First time for fan pictures, and first time for Lyle. This has a been a stellar vid, Lee. Thank you much for these…….it’s such fun to watch them!
One small correction, if you allow me: Lyle was already in one of the earlier videos of the tour. 🤓

@randy schiffer Don’t remember the name. I think it was the location that had a little zoo next to it. Hans Peter would know the name..

@TF.in.SF
Thank you 🙏
The Chautauqua Institution!!! How cool! Haven’t been there in a number of years but this brings back some wonderful memories as did your video in Geneva NY! Thanks for doing these, they mean a lot!
My favorite part of this video is all the folks who have no idea the Legend that is walking amongst them!! Granted those that I have seen are younger but still!!..... To be honest thats the best way to see you!! Leland that's what makes you a legend!! Humble and Appreciative!! A True LEGEND!!
That’s how it is at Chautauqua. I met Kurt Vonnegut as a young man along with many other well known figures at Chautauqua. It is always on a more personal level there with a mellow atmosphere. Arlie Guthrie. Tom Chapin. BB King. So many people I have met at Chautauqua.
@@dentalnovember Luke that's awesome!! One of my favorite idols I have seen is Ritchie Havens!!
I just wish spell check didn’t butcher the great Arlo’s name.
What a lovely place. Kids playing outside, people walking and riding bikes, those beautiful buildings.
This is really turning into an outstanding chronicle of a musical road tour across America! Thanks so much for producing this channel and this video tour. ✌️ Play on, Leland! 🎸🎥🖕
Spent a number of Sunday’s there every summer with the folks , have not been there In over 25 years. Thanks for sharing brings back lots of good memories.
Free on Sunday.
This video was SPECIAL!!!! Wow. Beauty! Fans! History! Lyle Lovett taking your camera to video! The Massey Organ has 4600 pipes. The organist sadly was killed in an auto accident in 2019 and they are still looking for a replacement.
Western NY is so beautiful this time of year. So looking forward to Russ's drum demo tomorrow. Thanks for a great tour today and have a great gig tonight.
I grew up near there, used to go there for concerts and events (and sailing) all the time. It's a truly magical place.
Now that is a beautiful neighbourhood!😁👍
One of your best videos to date! Thank you for sharing all your stops across the country! Thank you especially for being so kind to everyone you encounter! I have been a fan since those early days with Jackson Browne!
Either going to church on Sunday, or a concert @ this venue! It almost looks like a small private University village inside that quadrangle with that park... I would imagine the sound coming from this venue can be heard all in the neighborhood. Just grab a chair on your balcony and hear it all! Seems like a quaint but close knit community. Thanks Lee, and have a fun great show!
Thank you so much for these awesome videos! LOVE all the behind the scenes views!
I love the walk-about at each venue. Always a surprise, education, and fun.
👍👍 To Mr. Lovett on his guest appearance! If long exposure photography leaves one that relaxed and composed, maybe we should all look into it!
Incredibly beautiful place! Love how the trees gives such a nesting feeling .
That place has such a history behind it! I’ve heard of it almost my whole life (The Chautauqua Movement etc) but have never been there. What a gorgeous, gorgeous place to spend a bit of the summer…soak in the seminars and cultural events, and the loveliness of the place!
I've been to the Chautauqua in Boulder CO which is a similar type of layout, though i don't remember it being quite as large as the original looks here.
I also always get this confused with Chappaqua, that suburb north of NYC where Bill and Hillary live, but they are at completely opposite ends of the state!
@@TFinSF The Boulder Chautauqua was a spinoff of the original where Lee is today. At its peak, Chautauqua was the source for adult education in the US with mail order book clubs and a traveling show that would go around the country with lecturers and concerts. Many states still have a Chautauqua which was originally their venue for the annual traveling show.
I grew up in Lakewood and my parents used to take us there for concerts. When my parents were building their new house in Asheville, they rented a house in Chautauqua. Beautiful place!
After all these years, I finally get to see the back stage of this amazing place. Thanks, Lee!!! Great tour. And yeah, the organ is pretty magnificent sounding.
I discovered thanks to you Mr. Leland Sklar ! Very nice place, quiet, clean and green, really so beautiful. You walk a lot for your videos ! Very good for the healt. From Paris, really thank you so much for your channel and your videos. Take care of yourself.
My stepfather had a summer "cottage" (actually a lovely Victorian he winterized) just a stone's throw from the Amphitheater . Spent some time there, many years in fact. Lots of great times and concerts. The Amp was entirely rebuilt about 12 years ago. The audience area/seats are just the same but the backstage areas for the artists were expanded and improved. Had not seen till this video. A unique culteral art center, so lovely! Thank you so much!
Actually, it's been only 6 years since the Amp was torn down and rebuilt. I have photos from 2016, September, at the start of the demo. They had it completed and ready for the 2017 season. The entire Amp except for the organ chamber was demolished. It was dug out to make it deeper, and as you noted, the rear of the Amp was completely expanded. It looks very much like the old Amp except for the rear.
@@wno1043 Thanks for claryfying! I said
12 years thinking my mom was still living but I was wrong.
Woah! Bringing back memories. I used to sing in a concert with schools from around the county. This is where I saw The Pirates of Penzance. It always seemed impossible to access for us locals; a magical place.
Cool to have a run in with Lyle.
Seems like a sweet, down-to-earth man, and was a generous gesture to turn the camera on you, as I often wish you would include a little of yourself in your videos.
Chautauqua reminds me of Nantucket.
This is a wonderful venue. The setting amongst the homes and the overall cleanliness is what makes this stand out. As a Canadian,I really love the patriotism Americans show off in towns like this. You don’t see that here where I live. The flags with the different coloured homes and unique roadways are beautiful.
I’m sure those people you spent a few minutes of time with will enjoy the show that much more. I certainly would.
Also 🇨🇦❤️
Leland, welcome to western New York. Sorry I had to miss tonight's show. 😞 I bet it was great! Glad you had a chance to explore some of the grounds at Chautauqua. My in-laws lived about eight miles from there. Thanks for this great video. Happy and safe travels to you and the gang. 🙂
Man Oh Man... What a stunning slice of America. Look's like a lot of old money there. Gotta have some really deep pockets to live in that area, but absolutely beautiful. Plus a nice cameo by the man himself... Lyle at the end! Thanks again for the cool tour Lee.
Wow, what a beautiful venue. Thank you for a wonderful tour.
Another beautiful place..literally thirty years since I’ve been there. Thank you, as usual, for the cool tour. Hope the tour continues to be enjoyable. stay safe🖕 Ps. F-stop Fitzgerald is a brilliant line.👍
Chautauqua NY is one of the most beautiful performance and arts complexes in the country ! The Chautauqua movement started as a cultural learning and arts gathering where artists and lecturers well known in their fields would gather for several weeks of events . Chautauquas later spread westward with many constructing summer cabin communties. Some of which still exist. The remaining ones still thrive such as the Boulder Chautauqua in Colorado. On a high hill and meadow is the historic acoustically beautiful all wood Chautauqua Auditorium venue in a setting that nature outdid herself in creating.
And we reside in a little Chautauqua community in Mount Gretna, PA!
Lee, thank you for these awesome trips. Incredibly relaxing to stroll along with you. Very generous of your time and always giving of your music. Stay blessed my brother.
Thanks so much Leland for showing beautiful places throughout the states. Also the people and process involved that make up a tour. It really has been remarkable and enjoyable.
😍 Beautiful. Thank 😊 you! Yes, Chautauqua does feel and look like parts of Martha's Vineyard! Absolutely 😍 lovely. Enjoy your evening. . .
Lee you videos seem to be able to make time stand still and make the world feel normal. What a beautiful place and reminds me of a little town here in our state of Victoria called Port Fairy where they have folk and blues festivals. So good to see Lyle also. Thank you so much for your sharing of your world with us all. You are an absolute gentleman. 👍👌🇦🇺🙏
BTW, Lee, Chautauqua was also set up originally as a religious summer facility in the 1874 with people living in tents on wooden platforms so it's more similar to that venue in Martha's Vinyard than you may have realized.
I lived in area for 35 years and it is a beautiful area with the exception of a few surrounding cities. I now live in the Adirondack Mountains which is also beautiful. Thanks.
Another fairy tale of a town! and what a venue. I can see why Lyle was getting so many shots. Nice to see you getting your dues while on your walks! Have a great gig, Leland.
😎 Wow! What a gorgeous setting!
I love the Chautauqua Institution ! Great renovation of a historic amphitheater.
You seem to bring out the best in folks. We need that now more than ever!
Man, that is gorgeous!!! Enjoy every minute, Lee - I am so thrilled you're back to doing what you love. Outstanding. How delightful that Lyle popped in for a cameo too.
What a beautiful place. Nice to see Lyle! Love to see ya get recognized. Your fans love ya. Thanks for taking us with you on tour.
Thank you, thank you Mr Sklar for your insightful videos.they are so delightful! In this one we see the community enjoying the lake and surroundings, kids having great fun ,beautiful weather, trees and plants in full healthy bloom, not a single piece of damned plastic or garbage discarded anywhere,and just an easy laid back way of life !Summertime in NY. Fantastic.
As a musician I came for the music and stayed because of the kindness, warmth and civility. Thank you for these wonderful videos. The interactions are heartwarming. The quality of the musicianship on that stage is tremendous but it’s only a part of the overall beauty you’re sharing each stop of your journey. Thank you thank you thank you
Thanks for taking us all on tour with you!!! This venue is amazing!!
What wonderful venues you get to play! This is just the perfect level for an artist. Not arenas. Wonderful music, fantastic players, great crew, fab audience. No crazyness. What more can you ask for?
Thanks to share the tour, that's great!! Wonderful... 🎸you rock so nice...
LELAND SKLAR…. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! Anita S. & Family 💜
I am so happy you play here. It is a beautiful special place. Memories of younger days here on the lake.
I would be interested in seeing Lyle's photography. He is a creative perfectionist in music and I can only imagine his photography. Enjoy Chautauqua tonight.
Wow! What a beautiful place! The amount of equipment, hard work and dedication behind every concert never ceases to amaze me. Wonderful to learn that Lyle is a great photographer, too!Thanks so much for sharing! God bless.
Leland, THANK YOU. Always wanted to go there for their fall jazz jubilee, with my father. Alas he passed away before it could happen, and the jazz event is no more.
Beautiful place ! The summer flowers everywhere are awesome.
What a special treat to have Lyle participate in your video and to be kind enough to finally capture YOU in your video. What a great relationship you have with your community of artists and support crew.
How absolutely delightful are you!
Thanks again Leland! I will live vicariously through your videos. I miss the road and all the adventures. Doesn't look like you guys hang in one town for to long. Enjoy friend. I really appreciate all the wonderful music!
Such a tranquil walking tour. I can't thank you enough for sharing each venue. So interesting. I look forward to it each day. Thanks, Lee.
Great Venue....Love the outdoor yet covered Venue!!!!!!!
Thank you Leland. This venue and your footage is priceless. Lyle making an appearance too. Charming he revolved the camera to you too. The videos just keep getting better! Have a great show and look forward to Russ K episode when it arrives. 👏
Very cool how you salted the background actors to do the fan interactions. Right down to the cartwheels and children playing the scene worked perfectly. That was nice of Lyle to turn the camera. Good thing he has his name on his buckle cuz nobody would recognize him otherwise, right? Lovely community and venue, should be a great show, I hope someone posts a clip of it. Miss Brad.
Incredible footage Lee. Makes so much fun to watch the videos of these venues, the people and your ability to connect us to all of this.
Wow! Delightful stroll threw the neighbourhood….and very cool venue…like outdoor indoor happening….so lovely folks and excited to come to the show….True Americana…Wondering when that place was built….lovely pipe organ…..that must really reverberate through the whole community…..as a kid,We had an old pipe organ at school….came around the Cape in Africa…by frigate….It was an old pump,that I sometimes pumped on Sunday mornings for church….so nice of Lyle to get a shot of the artist extraordinaire…..Just really enjoy these videos Leland…Videos?… I suppose that’s what their called….Phoneos…Cellios….teliphonieos….?? Certainly a new art form…..as spell check is freaking out….
Whatever they are….we love it and You 🌹🪷🌹🪷🌹🪷❤️🪬🕊🥰🕊🙏🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Just lovely.. felt every step. Such a pleasure to view.
Love the Leland Sklar steady cam work. Cheers!
wow this was one of my favorites so far. Loved seeing Leland and Lyle in this one. One of the most beautiful venues yet. I saw the tour in Mesa, AZ in.early June 2022, the night Francine Reed was there. Phenomenal show.
I love this stage and audience areas.......it is beautiful........the energy is good.......
F stop Fitzgerald, absolutely priceless. 🤣😂
What a gorgeous town! We live in Geneva, NY and saw your video from there, and now want to check out all of them. Thanks for this chronicle of your tour!💕
Saw you tonight in Chautauqua and you and the entire band were fabulous! I told you a few days ago that the night would be magical and so is Chautauqua. Safe travels on to your next venue.
What a beautiful area and the sounds of children enjoying their day!
Cheerful 😊 people! Lee, outstanding !
I'm pretty sure this is the finest so far!
Did you get your laundry done ✔ lol institution's haaaa
I wish I could be there. It is free to visit once you are 90 years old. I only have 43 years to go. I am a lifetime Chautauquan and I visited two weeks ago. I’m so glad you could get the Chautauqua experience. If I was there I would have given you a boat tour. Too bad there is never enough time. 18:15 that’s where I stay when I visit. Thanks for sharing this documentary of the grounds.
I have seen you a bunch of times when you have passed through Chicago, and I have always loved your work! These “behind the scenes” videos have been totally outstanding, Best Wishes…
Thanks Lee....What a pleasant Day for you!!!!!! I hope tonight went great!!!!! Say hi to the gang!!!!
I have almost finished the 12 minute film for my Dad's memorial service in a couple of weeks in Denver. Nice to see such a peaceful and serene setting. I am in the vortex of house remodeling, driving to Denver, and having finished this film with over 165 photos plus 8mm film from the 60's.
Thanks again for this, Lee.
The amphitheater at Chautauqua underwent a major renovation a few years ago but they did a nice job maintaining the charm of the original structure. Not the most comfortable seats but a great place to see a concert.
It’s really nice from the porch at Presbyterian house.
One of my favorite videos to date is the one around Oak Bluffs from just about a year ago. This venue reminds me so much of the Tabernacle. Ought to be a spectacular show! Loved seeing Lyle shoot. He really is a fantastic photographer!
hi, i'm from Germany. the neighbourhood of the Amphitheater loocks pretty European. i would like to live there. could go to see sometimes, in walking distance, long bearded, terrific baseplayers round the corner in the theater. awesome.
Lyle was taking that picture for at least 20 minutes. I'll bet the result is spectacular.
Chautauqua is about as far as you can get from New York City, and still be in the state. About 400 miles.
Sounds about right! A Hop, skip, and a jump and you are either in Pa or Ohio.
GLORIOUS 💓🙏 🥰💗🥰🥰💗, Lee!
Thanksgiving came early. You just made my Saturday morning, here in Los Angeles, CA! Thank you 💗😊😁😊😊😊 so much for all your generosity behind the scenes! Patti
Thank you for a tour, the SET (Special Event Transportation) 18 wheelers look professional grade. The area you are in does remind one of Marthas Vineyard, and quite different that your last venue.
It is wonderful to see such a large area without automobile or truck traffic; a sign of wealth and the well to do.
Loved how Lyle turned the camera around. 👍
That's a nice area right there close to Erie PA too A lot of people around the Erie area and buffalo like to get away down there to chataqua same with Jamestown. It just sucks in the winter time when they get feet of snow down on that Southern tier of New York
It's interesting too all year round is only about 500 people that live there and that area but during the Summers it can get up to 8000 people a day
Leland: I so look forwarded to your daily videos. It is always a pleasure to see Lyle, what an authentic human being. Chautauqua, New York is a most interesting place to call home, some truly amazing homes. Quite a lovely and huge pipe organ at the venue.. Chris Isaak is a true, " Rhinestone Cowboy" performer.
Chris Issak?
@@NickNicometi Yes, Chris Isaak is doing some of Lyle's show on this tour, see tickets for Lyle Lovett's And His Large Band for more information.
My wife worked her way through college as a maid at the Atheneum Hotel! 10,000 Maniacs are from that area.
Yeah Natalie's from Jamestown I think she still lives there when she's not touring
So is Lucille Ball.
@@dentalnovember yes she is indeed
💪🧠🤝🎼 sending good thoughts from the Uk Nathan nice 🎥 work by the way 🙋♂️👊
Yes! My first thought was of Martha's Vinyard Tabernacle! All the people walking around - friendly people - lots of bikes.
Made me think of the Hollies song "Look Through Any Window":
"Oh, you can see the little children
All around
Oh, you can see the little ladies
In their gowns when you
Look through any window, yeah
What do you see
Smiling faces all around
Rushin' through the busy town"
(But not so much rushing in this town)
So Cool!
Wow!! what a beautiful looking place...Thanks Lee!!
It’s such a spectacular venue. Have a great show tonight!!
Geez, I was enjoying watching this and then got notice about the terrible attack on Salman Rushdie at Chautauqua. It's such a beautiful, peaceful, and unique place. To have that calm viciously disrupted is depressing.
Glad you got to have a great visit. I know all the spots you were walking around, filming, and really enjoyed seeing them again.
This has to be one of your best, Lee. Gorgeous venue, lots of folks, and Lyle too.
Sometimes these are extremely magnificent that they make me cry.
This walk and backstage pass sure did just that.
Thank you Lee
Yeah!!!! Keep them coming!!!! Just love these!!!
Chautauqua is certainly picturesque.
thanks 🙏
Have a great show.
This reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode, 'Next stop, Willoughby'. Peaceful, people smiling, friendly, kids playing, a place you'd want to spend time. Thanks for posting these, Leland.
Except Willoughby was the funeral home.
@@lelandsklar6363 Ha! Spoiler alert. Speaking of spoiler alerts, it was nice to see Lyle at the end of this video.
Lee sklar strikes again👍welcome to my neighborhood. Chautauqua has that Victorian community feel to it. Enjoy the beautiful night tonight 😎
Thank you, Mr Sklar. Only thing better would be watching the show right about now.
You can't fool us, Lee... this is your daily walking workout!
People think of New York as being just the NYC metro area, yet there is so much more across upstate NY northern NY, the Catskills Mnts, the Adirondack Mnts, central NY - finger lakes region, Western NY and it’s Southern-tier, St Lawrence Seaway, Thousand Islands, the Erie Canal going east-2-west, etc.
Lived 25 of my 60 yrs in central NY, between Syracuse and Rochester metro areas - great people, beautiful country, nice quality of life
