Getting that ASMR deal listening to your footsteps in the stairwells, Leland. Very soothing!

So great to see the great spirit and professionalism of the whole tour-gang. What a joy to have everything in the best of hands. Including the bass, of course. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely Carpenter Theatre at the Dominion Arts Center, Richmond, Virginia Thanks So Much for the Walking Tour ✨️

Lyle, we all have the stamina to watch Leland's videos from beginning to end. It is part of my day.

Wow, Been Richmond for 40 years and never seen a show there. Now I have to go. I see Little Feat coming up. Have to check it out. Thanks for the tour of the building.

Shave and a haircut.. LOL Leland.. I LOVE old theaters like this! There used to be one when I was a child back in the early 70s (I am now 63), an old movie theater in Pasadena, Texas, of all places called the Capitan Theater and up in the balcony there was a room that was glass on three sides. It had a door and regular theater seats but it was called the "crying room" for people with unruly infants. None of the other theaters of the day had that feature and I always thought it was so cool. I am sure it is long gone now but for anyone who grew up in the area it was located on highway 225 going into Pasadena and it seems like Pasadena High School was just on the opposite side of the freeway. Anyway, I love the old architecture and appreciate the tours! Hope the tour is going well for you guys. Again.. thanks Leland!

When you were doing the tour of the Carpenter Theater, every new view was a wow! What a beautiful old theater complex, beautifully restored. The people of Richmond and the state of Virginia should be proud of this old gem! Thank you, Lee. I enjoyed it so much.

I enjoy these old theater walkthroughs so much. This one was especially beautiful. Thank you.😊

Leland, we were at the show last night and enjoyed it very much. This is the first time I have viewed your KZfaq video....nicely done. We've enjoyed your work over the years immensely as we've seen you with James Taylor, Jackson Brown and many others. Thank you so much for what you do. Big fan!!!

Yes, I was here to the end! Thank you for another wonderful adventure! Looking forward to the upcoming show in New Orleans! ❤

Fully renovated and restored, the historic Carpenter Theatre is the cornerstone of the Dominion Energy Center. It features state-of-the-art lighting and world-class acoustics while still preserving its Old World feel. Its large stage, great acoustics, and 20 dressing rooms make it a performer’s dream venue. Carpenter Theatre’s main lobby includes two refreshment bars, concierge station, and a gift shop, with two additional refreshment bars upstairs. Four large mosaic tile murals of parrots serve as the backdrop to the four refreshment bars and are a tribute to the handmade parrot that has been perched in the lobby since the theater first opened in 1928. Upon entering the refurbished Carpenter Theatre - with nearly 1,800 seats - audiences enjoy newly installed fiber optic stars twinkling overhead in the repainted midnight sky ceiling, one of the many preserved and enhanced elements of John Eberson's original theater design.

This is the most exercise that I’ve had all day. Much appreciated.

Lee really getting into the nuts and bolts of a building!!!

Another excellent adventure! What a beautiful theatre! Walking around on the rooftop 🤣🤣🤣! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful Theatre must sound wonderful in there thanks for the tour and have a great show

Hi Lee! There is a feature built into your iPhone in the ❤health section that will track your steps. As long as you have it set up and have your phone on you it keeps track. Works good!

Love these videos, I’m still buzzing from meeting Leland in Lowell Mass!!

Awesome theater! How wonderful to play there!😀🎸

I just woke up are you sure we're in Richmond Virginia..and not in Colorado at Casa Bonita...Toto were not in Kansas anymore..lol.Boy how ornate can you get awesome. The color scheme is very dramatic ! The basement seems like a MC ESCHER maze🤔 !!!! So glad you are recording all this for us and posterity. Enjoy your time tonight.Stay safe , be safe 🙏 Leland Sklar 🙏 peace 🙏 ☮️

Awesome tour. Have a great show. Thanks ❤️👍❤️👍

Good evening Sir Lee! Beautiful Grand Theatre; thank you for the tour. Have a great time and show tonight!

That was cool that you spotlighted Britt, I always wondered what her duties were, she has a great laugh.

This time you went from the basement to the very roof. This one was specially immersive, Maestro. What a beautiful building. So glad to meet the crew. I think you're the dream team. Thank you very much once again, for sharing.

I've said it before and will say it every time (although,I might not post it): "Leland,From the Road" is my favorite style of video on here. As a former "road dog", I have played the theaters and cubs, as well as far too many dumps to count. I never got to wander the venues. It was always van-backstage-stage-van.I truly enjoy seeing the excess little bits of these places and hearing the stories

Good evening, Lee! 😃 We had some wild westher this morning on Cape Cod and over the bridges here. Two tornadoes confirmed. 🌪 And, in all my 47 years, I've never seen so much rain. We got 4 inches of rain in an hour! 🌧 But, we're all good. 👍 I love Richmond, VA. That's one of my stops on my drive to Florida. So nice to see everyone happy. Lamont skipping, and Mark, (it was so nice chatting with him in Plymouth. He's one hell of a cool guy). 😎 Nice looking venue! Have a great show! 😎🎸🎶🎷 ❤ya! PS- Lyle looks SO happy. I love it! 😁🎸 We are SO lucky to have you in our lives, Lee!

Ha, the opening minutes had me thinking of that iconic scene from “Spinal Tap”.

Bass fiddler on the roof.... and best one at that

What a spectacle, very ornamental. Lots of spindles. Wow inside almost like art deco, something out of a acid trip, like a disney fantasy world, very colorful. Wonderful. Love the interviews with the support team. Shout out to all the Canadian hippies from the 70's, ✌♥ always. So funny listening to the music scale rising as you ascend the stairs to the nosebleeds seats.😄The carpet is giving me flashbacks. Then you had to do the camera roll at the end, just when my flashback from the carpet was subsiding. Great video lots of fun, glad you did not get stuck on the roof.

Great to meet Brit and Mark! Thank you for your work.

One for the books. Basement. Weird hallways. And ‘up on the roof ‘

Another great venue. Thanks for the tour.

That lobby carpet looks like something out of a Vegas casino 😄

Slow start to the walking tour ... this seems to be a first, a security checkpoint with magnetometers. It's a lovely old theater. Many, many thanks for the exploring and the walk around. Yes, I watched the entire video. Hello to Lyle. Have a great show, Lee.

Holy Cow. Lee is on the roof across the HVAC Chiller catwalk. An epic haunt Lee.

Love the Carpenter Center! I've seen dozens of shows there.

Coolest Theater yet!

Hi Lee. Thats a maze of a venue, and how beautiful. its no wonder you stay slim and healthy. Have a great night!

Maybe one day Mr Sklar , you may take the time to convey the feelings of you guys on stage performing,looking out to a beautiful theatre packed full of appreciative fans while on tour ! The sense of euphoria must be overwhelming ? It would be great to hear about pre concert nerves and everything else associated with a process ending in a musical show on stage . I'd love to see the bus journey right after the show and all the patter from the musicians and staff post show.... I can't wait for that little gem of a video from you . Stay well .

Love these walking tours of your travels. If you are using an iPhone, it has a health app (White Square, Red Heart) that will track your steps and distance traveled as well as other data. It would be interesting to see how many steps you did on this one, many I would think. Well done.

GREAT ONE LELAND!!!!!!! SO MANY NOOKS and Cranies........GOOD TIMES!!!!!!

33:42 The curved building across the street is the Federal Courthouse.

I went to the ophthalmologist and told the doctor my vision was out of focus half the time, she asked me "are you watching Leland's videos again? " You make me very nervous going all those places in these buildings, you're either going to get locked out or busted for being where you shouldn't be. Lyle would be pretty upset not to have you show up. Great to see these beautiful theaters, keep it up but be careful out there.

still watching after 45 minutes and we get to see Lyle!! What a nice treat. And a little Felini moment at the very end.

Love all of your pre show shenanigans!

36:00 That's the rear view of the front façade you saw at street level.

Thank you for another exploration of a venue, but Leland’s ability to explore and document locations would be an asset to film makers needing locations for filming that would be unique and novel. Alone in this one performing venue we have seen possible scenes for any number of dramatic back drops. For one, the roof area with heating, cooling, and ventilation systems with their Variable-air-volume (VAV) systems in a packaged rooftop unit with chiller, cooling tower, and boiler systems and water-source heat pump systems with a cooling tower and boiler would be quite a back drop for most any dramatic and tension scene.

Yes lee...the bowels of the theatre!!!!

Another super venue behind-the-scenes video by Leland. So glad you made it out of that room. Maybe you should ask Lyle to get you a tracking device or a companion dog in the event it happens again. Always make sure to have some water and a Kit-Kat bar just in case. Good to see all your fellow travelers as you roam around. I continue to get the feeling that you are genuinely a true friend to all.

🦶🦶. Fascinating venue! Great video!

Can't wait for this tour!

Those 3D clouds on the blue ceiling ...

Lee every phone has a step counter on it. As long as your walking it’s keeping track. I have I phone 11.

Today’s Theatre is arguably the most exquisite venue on the tour thus far. Leland certainly got his steps in on this one!

Hi! 😊 Catching up with you 🧐😉😁! Lamont 😊 Beautiful Theater! Wowza 💜👩💜 Russ too! OMG 😳 I can't look 😵‍💫 Lyle 😊❤

Lamont is a ray of sunshine! This is my favorite venue so far. It looks so magical, and the blue windows/lighting makes it feel like it's under the sea. I love the clouds too. I don't have a fit bit either, I use a pedometer app to track my steps during the day. There's an app for everything, haha. Thank you for another wonderful tour!

You definitely got your steps in, it’s like a maze in there

You all play the classiest places!

What are the little box on the front edge of the stage?

Thanks Lee 👍🏻

The roof the roof the roof is on Firrrrrrrreee........Lee you got us there! I am waiting for....HEYYYYYYYY YOUUUUUUU!!!!!! What are doing up here??????

Wow, the Dominion Arts Center is beautiful! 😮

Lyle!!!!!!!!!! Lyle you are the Dessert!!!!! Our Reward!!!!!

Beautiful exterior. Thanks for stopping at the monument. I remember those days as a kid although I never saw any segregation up in the PNW. Hope those days never return. Let's get it together people. ✊♥ Loved Lamont's skipping :) The interior is fabulous. (except for the metal detectors). Lovely mosaics. So glad you and Mark Brooks got together. We always wondered who Britt was and what she does. Thanks! Nice seeing the super athlete, Mark, too. You found the roof but not Brad. That was strange. Nice ending with Lyle. I'm sure you had a wonderful show and enjoyed yourself. You make so many people happy. Thanks!

You got some lovely shots of the city from the roof! Be safe.

Incredible tour ! Loved the piano tuning and the water curtain air conditioning and those supports in the basement , utterly captivating from beginning to end but I have one question ; Where’s Brad???

Wow! Beautiful Venue

Cool venue... have another great show!!

You can use the health app on your phone to get your steps by the hour.

Another beauty of a theatre!!!!

Beautiful theater . With 15 in the band , PLUS the crew and equipment , that must be expensive to take on the road . Definitely not a van with a U Haul trailer !

Britt, Mark, and Matt! :) Cool about Blackbird school! I gotta make a note to check Mark Brooks page, for those doings! I don't know what happened, but it's like I have been just knocked out for a few days. I remember catching the beginnings of this video a few times and things happened, where everything kept needing to be plugged back in, and I had to let people into my place a few times, and talk over various boxes of my own files which are wearing me out. Not a person that just loves clerical work in general. It takes so much more of my attention than it ever should for anyone. Anyway, I guess my body and brain decided to put me to bed, for several days in the 116 degree weather. Probably for the best. Was heartbreaking to wake up to the awareness of the Maui fires. Couldn't stay up for long trying to check on people and and realizing all their communications were pretty much down even before the fires swept through so horrifically.. Been getting multiple fire alerts here, making me think we have one happening nearby like last year, but am not finding any location pinpoints about them. It's just been several days of all the heat making any little spark something to avoid at all costs. Meanwhile I check the warnings thinking they are like tornado warnings but it seems like maybe they are making warnings like it's on the ground because of the fearsome situation that is in Maui. So of course Maui updates are also in the same weather news area. Just very very sad. Just wanted to say something before I continue to hear the rest of the Richmond video and begin to catch up, with the sweet stuff.

Look up the John Marshall Hotel. It's beautiful. 35:22

Giving up your beautiful backyard for the scorching heat you endured all summer ....you should be commended sir and your sacrifice of your cool hotel to do this for little me in nova scotia canada i thank you and appreciate you leeland

Hi Lee, really enjoying what you are doing documenting the venues, introducing musicians and crew. It gives me an appreciation for the daily routine, and the number of people needed to pull this off every day. Maybe you covered this, are there techs who look after the guitars etc? The heat and humidity changes must be hard on them, and on the. People too lol.

Mr.Sklar sometime would you show a bit about your practice regime, touring and home. How do you practice?

How many steps do you average a day ?

For a moment I thought you were in the Majestic in San Antonio, TX. It's like a sister venue or something.

Pretty cool, Leland.Walking w our Mark Brooks!

LEE : Today marks the 1st anniversary since Olivia Newton-John's passing. She is still missed 😢.

This place is fantastic and gorgeous. Just a wow!

I appreciate you, thank you for making content.

Real Nice..🥁😎🥁..

♥♥

I installed that sign a couple years ago.

Britt and Marc/k you did great.......Lee is a fan of you both......we know. Mark/c You did great!!!!! No frets.

Wow. Beautiful. Just so grateful for your videos

Britt is a SoundGirl

I'm still watching 😂

Morning Leland, tour time👍👍

Have you played the Indiana Roof ballroom in Indianapolis? Similar, though smaller, I'm sure. They have a stage door at the rear entrance, enclosed in glass, from the 1930s. The stage hands listed the bands who played there, then gave each one ratings 1-5 stars!

i want to skip with Lamont!!! the inside of the auditorium reminds me of the haunted mansion at disneyland / with the statuery- busts backlit and the sky and stars ceiling.. kinda spooky. 🙂

yep, that was a long one but i got through it, lol. as phil collins would say, you were probably clean shaved when you started filming that one, LOL. this venue is almost a church, beautiful

The cinema verite continues! Was the gal who left you in the lurches at the front door the same one who sideswiped your truck??

Last time i was in a donors lounge they handed me $50., a stack of nudie mags and a small plastic cup. Times have changed!.

Beautiful theater, beautiful tour, beautiful host.

You cover every nook and cranny! Be careful Lee 🙄❣

✊🏻 knock ✊🏻 knock ✊🏻 knock, Dave’s not here man….

Hi Lee!

😃😃

Someone from Maintenance just called about a man in the roof!
