4th July Weekend Concert

I didn't know we were going till just a few days before the big concert. Tim called and told me he got tickets for the biggest concert of the year. My favorite country singer for years has been Kenny Chesney.I loved his music before most people new who he was. So I was excited to get the news we were going to his "Poets and Pirates Tour" Here are some pics I managed to take along with the big line up!!
Ashley and Kacie in front of Kenny's Tour bus!!
If he is in there I am really close,I could wait here till he comes out.Maybe not. It is way to hot.

Just as we arrived I took a photo of the stage.
Leanne Rimes was the 2nd act.The first was a group that was new.I had no clue who they were and we spent that time cooling off in the breezeway. Tim,Ashley and a couple friends that went with us.
Oh,I do love Gary Allen's singing!!! It was a treat to hear him. He has some great songs!! He sang his latest " Watching Airplanes" along with all his others I love. I guess they had to throw a little old Rock in there.Sammy Haggar took the stage 4th.I listened for a while and we were all singing"I Can't Drive 55". I am sure many of the younger folks had not clue who he was. Ashley had her fingers in her ears.So after a few songs I took her for a bite to eat and a drink.
BOY was it HOT in the stadium.We went for breaks right up till 6p.m. You can see I was so hot and I look worn out ,my face got really red!

The fun really got going when Keith urban took the stage at 7:30. The crowd went wild and people were singing along.
Loved that close up on the big screen!

Finally the big attraction. Kenny Chesney!!!
The special gust was Sugarland.She came on stage with Kenny and sang her big hit,"Why Don't You Stay"
I was looking through the camera lens and I swear Kenny was waving at me!! I caught it in this photo. Don't you think so?? I thought it would be cool to get up and take a shot of as much of the stadium as I could.There were allot of people ! When people started to sing it was pretty loud!! To be on the ground level was $3000-$400!!!
Maybe he heard Ashley yelling and screaming, GO KENNY!!!! I was afraid she and Kacie would lose their voices. But she was still chatting all the way home.

And the crowd goes wild!!

One last photo. Kenny ends the concert with his big hit from several years ago and a favorite of mine"She Thinks My Tractors Sexy" I know everyone knows that song, Right!!
