Let Love Rule!

Experiencing a concert at the legendary Ryman Auditorium is like a religious event. The historic intimate setting allows for revival of sorts especially in the company of fellow concert goers. With Lenny Kravitz and his band filling the hallowed room with raucous refrains, you couldn’t help but be spirit filled.

A ho-hum opening set from some odd Canadian Muslim, the slim rock god saunter on stage. Rousing the crowd to its feet was easy; keeping them there was second nature as Kravitz way-laid into each crunching chord. His afro’d lead guitarist channeled freaking Jimi Hendrix—it was transcendental really.

Lenny’s focus for the night was love. Love for Nashville, his fans, his band, and the 20th anniversary of Let Love Rule. In return, the audience loved him back singing and swaying along with nearly every word. The concert was one non-stop jam session with long random guitar, horn, organ, or drum tangents between classics like Fly Away and Mr. Cab Driver.
It was a simply gorgeous evening!
