Even at 45, Garth still has the voice and stage energy and presence he had 15 years ago. That place was rockin last night, so in fact the paper review this morning listed last night as the loudest and rowdiest crowd so far of his 9 show set. Glad I was there!
Anywho, my list of concerts:
Collective Soul & the Cranberries
Hootie and the Blowfish (free)
Miranda Lambert, Big & Rich, Brooks and Dunn
Jack Ingram, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Swift, and Brad Paisley
The Wreckers and Keith Urban
Miranda Lambert and Toby Keith
Lots of local shows and I'm sure I'm forgetting more in there...
Hmm... Most energetic was Keith Urban. Yeah he's not true country or whatever, but he really does put on a great show. Big & Rich comes in at a close second for energy. Everybody was up dancing and singing for almost the whole show.
As far as the best show...
All of the shows were equally awesome.

I didn't notice many people trying to sell on corners last night, but that's not to say there weren't.
You've got a shot!

Stevie Ray, it was not a job for him, it was a religion. He stole the show, hands down. Best concert I have ever seen. I'm grateful I got a chance to see him live before he was killed.

...too many lesser known blues acts and jazz trios to bother
best concert ever was helmet in 1991, which was bar FAR the loudest i've ever attended, orders of magnitude louder than the next loudest...on the way home sitting in a mustang my buddy and i yelled to try to converse-no avail...we turned the radio up as loud as it would go-couldn't hear it...ears rang for 2 days, could hardly hear until late the next morning...probably did more damage to my hearing in 1 hour than the other 30-odd years of my life combined

The best show was Motley Crue w/ Faster *******cat. That show was awesome. Mid 80's and living wild. honorable mention is Anthrax they to are a great band. Seen them twice once as headliner and as opener act for pantera. The Country side I have sen Reba 3x and Garth 2. I have seen other shows but we will leave it at that.
