Concert Review

I wasn't sure what to expect at my first country music concert last night, after growing up in Metal and Hard Rock concerts. But I have to admit it may have been the best concert I have ever been too. Things got kicked off at 7:30 and the concert ended at 11:15, by the time I drove back to Beale it was 1:30 before I hit the rack.

Miranda Lambert kicked things off and played songs from her first album Kerosene. One of the songs she played that was near and dear to my heart was titled "What About Georgia". Miranda is a native of Lindale, Texas and last night it was easy to see that Texas attitude and sound in her music. ( imgage courtesy www.mirandalambert.com )

Tracy Lawrence was up next and was the performer I most wanted to see last night....or so I thought. Tracy has 17 Number 1 Hits in his career, and as he rattled off his set it was easy to see why. He really did a great job of playing to the crowd, and ended his set with a killer performance of " Paint Me A Birmingham". I dont think its a coincidence that all the performers on the ticket hail from the state of Texas, Tracy is a native of Atlanta,Texas.




















Then up next was the Legendary George Strait. I can't even begin to tell you just how good his Ace in the Hole Band played last night, nor how good of a singer and performer he is live. He came on stage at 9:25 and exited the stage at 11:15, they played at least 25 songs I actually lost count. It was cool though he did a little "Folsom Prison Blues" since he was right here close, hearing Strait do Johnny Cash was actually pretty kick ass. The concert was well worth the price of admission, and I recommend you get out there and see this legend perform while he is still doing it, 50 Number 1 Hits speaks for itself ( http://www.georgestrait.com/calendar.asp ) .
