Country Concerts in MN: Keith Urban





............................that is me being speechless about the Keith Urban concert at the Xcel Energy Center. He was AMAZING and it was definitely the best concert I have been too! The night started out great because I tricked my friend Jamie earlier in the day and told her we didn't have very good Xcel Energy Center tickets but when we got there I walked her down to our real seats which were 7 rows from the stage. There isn't a whole lot I can say about the Zac Brown Band because I'm not really a huge fan so I didn't really listen to them but they did do a really good job getting the crowd pumped up when they sang "Chicken Fried." Keith Urban put on an amazing show from the second he came up through the floor in a cloud of smoke. Keith Urban sounded better in person then he does on his Cd's or the radio. My favorite song that he sang had to be "Stupid Boy" because I have always loved that song and to see him play the guitar solo in person made me speechless. Keith Urban did a great job at connecting with the audience and even walked across the floor and played a couple songs on the other side of the Xcel so fans that were further away got a chance to see him sing up close. I can't wait until I get a chance to see Keith Urban again because if he is playing anywhere close to Minnesota I would not miss it!

Wow, 7th row is AMAZING! I heard the show was fantastic and even the newspaper (who can be hard on country acts) gave Keith Urban a great review.

I heard that fans went nuts when he was walking through the crowd and they were grabbing at him. He must be BRAVE! I also heard that he was appreciative to the audience for paying the money to buy a Keith Urban Ticket and see his live show. It's nice when an artist appreciates what the fans go through to support the music.

great Keith Urban pictures - didn't you think it was cool when those screens moved and were horizontal? I have never seen anything like that before. The Keith Urban tour is definitely the best concert event of the summer!
