It was a good show. I am impressed by the larger venues that the boys book now. It is bittersweet though, as it was hard to see them well at this show. But they rocked none the less.
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING SHOW! I was thrilled to get the opportunity to see them so Close!
A little bummed the Police made us leave as we were waiting after the show with the hopes to see them. But other than that it was most def. a TOP night!
Anyone get videos? Was it KDH when Scott almost didn't make it back to the mic on time? It was hard to see what was going on from where we were, but it was pretty funny to see him suddenly running across stage!
Great show all around! Got to the lot at about 4 and was stunned to see only about 25 people at the gates to get in which was kind of a rarity. Met some cool people and hung out until gates and then got strapped in for what would be a fantastic show. The Everybodyfields were the opener and being from around the NE Tennessee area, I have been a fan of theirs for quite a while so it was good to see them open for the boys and I thought they did really well. The melding of Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews voice is just astounding to me and I soaked up every second of it. The guys came out hard with a nice "Salina" opener and then made their way through a very good set that included alot of stuff off of Emotionalism which was cool to see. They encored with "November Blue" and they place went from raucous to silent in a matter of seconds...it was actually kinda eerie. Had quite a few tech issues throughout the night which kinda detracted from the start of the show but that is to be expected I guess. Overall a really solid show and a good time was had by all!
Vicarious Listening
I'm living vicariously through your reviews. Thanks so much for making sure I get to. I love how we call them "the boys"! Yours truly, katie bird
chrishickie- I was impressed by the Everybodyfields also. I had never had the chance to see them live before and once they broke up I figured I never would. It was a nice to surprise to hear they would be reunited for this show! They both have such lovely and unique voices.
November Blue at the end made the night complete. I really enjoyed the crowd around me. I've never been around such a nice group of people at a concert. Thanks to the gal who shared her snack with me. I'm not sure exactly what I ate but that was very nice. My husband and I will be going to many more shows. I have some videos but am having a little difficulty uploading them. I will keep trying.
I took photos at the show if anyone would like to check them out: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjwndi6e
Here's Scott when he climbed up the side of the stage.

@ashleybb - from those of us who were waaaaay back in the stands without much of a view -- thanks for sharing!
Nice, ashleybb. Ditto what cranky said.
