BRAD'S personal venue how sweet it is

There's Brad! Love, peace, and good food. YES!

What a positive channel to follow, this video is no different. Thank you for giving us a view behind the curtain. The blues don't always have to be sad. Be well, Adam

Hey Leland, glad you found Brad!!! He's a true musician, you have to practice anywhere you can!! You cats are 😎 awesome!!! Long bus ride for all of you, hope you get to make a few short stops along the way to get out and stretch. Coming to the East Coast, that's great. I can't believe how quickly your tour is going. Take care, stay safe and God Bless You all as you make your way to New Jersey.

Nothing quite like some back-alley blues.. Thank you, Lee, and thank you, Brad 🙏 Be good to you 🤍💛

Thanks Brad and Lee.

One man's trash is another man's treasure! Best wishes..

Lee, thanks for featuring Brad. His tone on his sax is absolutely gorgeous.

Something quintessentially American about playing the brass or woodwind instrument at an alleyway. Brad's just awesome at his sax

Amazing, Brad great musician!

Can we actually have an interview with Brad? I want to know about his career!

“This makes me feel like playin’ the blues.” I get it. . .🎵

Thank you so much…Omaha boy here, now living in Bend, Oregon and saw you along the banks of the Deschutes River..love you man..

Thanks Lee. You guys stay safe out there.👍😎👍

I love Brad and I am extremely encouraged musically by his great hair. 👍👍😎

Yes! Brad: the Sequel! I love a happy ending. That last video was a bit of a cliffhanger.

Taking it to the street. What a great sound. Brad could play everywhere on this planet and anyone who meets him would applaud. Thank you both -

Back to the Blues Brad that is sweet!!!!!!

👍🏻 your recent videos always show great Saxophon players. 👍🏻

Leland🌹🪷🌹🪷🌹🪷🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🕊🪬🙏

Brads blues solo was very good indeed.

I love the Brad sightings. You have to admire that level of dedication. Even I've started practicing more lately. It's now a favorite part of your tour walk-arounds; they're truly a gift. Thanks again. Stay safe.

High 5 to Brad!! Mr. Cool 😃 Thanks so much, Lee!

Hi Lee. This is priceless! .Biggest of thanks to treating us to these great videos. its so great that you have a wonderful musical family around you while undertaking these gruelling tours. Brad is an absolute star aswell as your good self. All the very best

I've decided that Brad is the most dedicated touring musician. Ever.

Loving this! Enjoy seeing what you get to see. Wish you could of done this on the Phil Collins tour.

Perfect acoustics in that unassuming back pocket of Princetown!

My goodness, this is one of the Coolest Videos you have ever done during this journey. So fu...cking funky. The only thing missing on this video, as a closing moment, was this frase that I rememberd from an old TV Show from the early 60's : "7 millions of stories has the Nacked City..." Don't even know if that's ok in English. In Spanish it was: "7 millones de historias tiene la Ciudad Desnuda... " Thanks Lee. These little videos give all of us a very different perspective of what is like the real life of a professional musician on the road.

I’m pretty sure Brad would do ok as a street busker. Hell,I’d even throw him a couple of bucks if I stumbled across him. He’s always a fun few minutes of wisdom. I like him. Keep him around for awhile Lee 😉

Brad is an inspiration! Love that dude!

Brad is so cool! Love that alley. I knew you had to head down that way! Loving all of the tour vids. Sorry you have to do the 20-hour drive today (that sucks!) but, hey, you're nearing where I am .. of course, I am gigging on the two nights when I could go to see you!!!!!!! grrr! I'm thinking about trying to get to one show if I can fit it into my crazy schedule. Either way, love these vids and I'm so happy to see that you are doing well! The clips I've seen/heard sound GREAT! 😻 :)

"It's Brad!" In this episode Brad and Lee go dumpster diving. More Lyle Lovett and his Large Band tour hijinks. Let the hilarity begin! Thanks again. L.S.M.F.T. Leland Sklar Means Fine Tunage

Brad is not shy.Outgoing,happy.Great guy.

Brad's my hero now!

Love you Brad "Sexy Sax" ❤️ Love you Lee "Golden Bass" ❤️ Take care 🙂 Be safe 🙏

It's surprising how few blues tunes are about how well everything is going. Ahem. You've got a mighty wide country down there. Easy does it on the long drive. Btw, you're just down the road from Sauk Center, Sinclair Lewis country, a favourite author of mine since I was a kid. Babbit, Elmer Gantry, Main St - but esp. "It Can't Happen Here" ...as relevant again today as it was when events began overtaking Europe not so long ago. Thanks and safe travels!

Love you back Brad. 🤗

‘Where are my people?’ LMAO 😂! Half-expected to find Brad crouched down in one of the dumpsters, lol! He is VERY good, & North Texas Lab Band is fortunate to have him as an instructor

There they are, the 2 alley cats!! And the blues are supposed to take your blues away! I think I need to practice...

Just awesome!! Brad is such a kick-ass sax player - phenomenal.

Love you Brad

Brad's warming up is just delightful!

If you keep going down that alley away from the state and turn right you will end up at the best candy store in DT Mpls. Candyland! Fresh made caramel corn. I was going to suggest earlier Brad go to the Skyway level of the Lasalle Plaza building. There is a spot just behind the State theater near the tower elevators with great sound.

Such a class act! Have a great show.

Brad seems super nice.. Congrats on the 200k subs Lee.👍😎

Brad is rapidly becoming the star of these videos. He is the epitome of the term “One Cool Dude” 🎷🎼

Love Brad!

A sax player is always attracted to an echo-y alley!

Its becoming a lets find Brad gag!! haha He is so special. Thanks Lee.

FABULOUS, Brad!

Man, Brad blows one sweet horn. Good Lord! 🔥🔥🔥

Nothing like that natural dumpster reverb :)

Damn..I missed this “Find Brad” yesterday …like a cool opening scene in a movie..the alley , the sax..boom, there he is. Thanks for the detective work. Stay safe🖕

Hi brad 🎷🎷🎷🎷

Get down, get funky! Thanks for another great video. Enjoy Minneapolis.

Thanks for the. Bonus, Lee!

Anticipating a 20hr bus trip is reason enough to play the blues!

Hey Brad!! Looks a little risky man, so be careful and lots-o-love!!!!

"The Adventures of Brad and Leland..." that'll get a big YT following I would suspect

Lordy!

It reminded me of a Regular Show episode with Sad Sax Guy 😂

Alley acoustics were pretty good

I love these “where’s Brad” segments 😄

Really enjoying your travelling posts Leland as we Australians visit our son and young grandchildren in Toronto. We're having a holiday with them in Cape Cod early August and I checked for any live music available during our stay. Hey presto: Lyle Lovett and his Large Band on at the Cape Cod Melody Tent on 12 August. We got our tickets. See you, and Brad, there!!

Brad is the real deal! He's in that horn deep.....that's how greatness blooms.

I live near here and I would never walk down a downtown alley by myself in this area even in daylight. Glad you didn’t have any issues.

This dude brad could play himself in a movie.Come to think of it Lee could too

joining the choir here; please make this a recurring bit, where you go and search for brad in his obscure practising/hiding places #waldostyle

I can hear a sax ha ha behind the bin lol agree accoustics are awesome 😁😎🤗👒❤

Peace

Great video.

Brad has accomplished a lot by getting into Lyle's road band. He's still young and there's a lot more music for him to play.

Brad is amazing! I’m going to check out some of his albums.

I can smell that alley from here!

With the alley setting and the saxaphone sounds, this video should have been in black and white.

That's what I'm saying 😏😏😏... Who's got the 💙💙💙

Very cool.

Brad!

Thanks Lee 👍🏻

Brad reminds me of a great saying ‘Don’t make friends with elephant keepers, if you don’t like elephants’. 👍

Lol. You hear that at first you thought it might be one of those classic Street sidewalk players downtown🎷🪙 One thing to say about Brad whether he was playing in a trailer up in Michigan or where he finds the places with the great acoustics

We love Brad Indeed. Do some more videos after the tour with him, if you can find the time!

If you learn to play an instrument, you'll have a friend for life.

Brad is so cool....Lee & Brad....Music 🎶 running thru their souls!! Not sure if tour has hit Chicago yet....but please tell Brad no alley 🎷 practice here.....the rodents are the size of Bison in this town!!..😎

👋👋 Sounds good! Cinema day at Sklar U!! Those clouds looked intensely dramatic, wish we'd had a few more frames of that. That alley/performance backdrop also looks very cinematic, but don't know/can't remember enough about the Minneapolis music scene to come up with a direct reference. Was able to see that Prince played that venue at least once (apparently at the time he was informed of Vanity's passing in 2016), couldn't pull up info about other performances there. Once lived one door from the alley (trash cans and permanent eau de old beer) outside a music venue. It was safe, but the town/area had the highest homicide rate for a city of its size in the country. Best to choose one's alleys carefully.

Hey Leland a request to Brad a quick nod to him to play a quick solo that we can quess what the si g is ,intro, obviously dolo..etc..just saying. Thanks Leland Sklar..stay safe be safe...

Our Where's Waldo. Where's Brad

Have a sit down interview with him Leo

A cleaner alley 🎳 that some I've seen.

Brad needs to do an album titled "The Alley" in the tradition of Sonny Rollins' "The Bridge." 🎷

Amazing sax player

Looks like a great place to get mugged. That would give you the blues, I'll wager...

Speaking of RUFFage, how are the Boys doing?

❤

😊🎷💙💓

It’s a new game” Where in the Worldis Brad”?

Where’s Russ? Haven’t seen much of him so far at all.

Tell Brad he needs to find a better corner and to stick out a hat if he wants to bring in some dinner money.
