Top 5 Country Concerts

My favorite thing in the whole world is to go to country concerts. I have been lucky enough to see many of my favorite country artist perform live. Yesterday I was asked which country artist was my favorite to see in concert/who puts on the best show and I didn't have an answer because I never compared them to each other. I have decided to come up with a top 5 list of who puts on the best concert so I have an answer for the next time I am asked. First I should tell you who I have seen live in concert so everyone knows which bands/artist I am comparing: Kenny Chesney, Sugarland, Reba McEntire, Chris Cagle, Gretchen Wilson, Chuck Wicks, Dierks Bentley, Pat Green, Randy Houser, Keith Urban, Zac Brown Band, Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, Garth Brooks, Dixie Chicks, Little Big Town and Brad Paisley. This was not an easy list to make but this is what I have come up with...

#5. Garth Brooks: The only reason Garth Brooks isn't number 1 is because I was so young when I went to see him that I don't really remember it that well. But I do remember the night I saw Garth Brooks was the night I fell in love with country!

#4. Dierks Bentley: This concert was so amazing because Dierks Bentley is able to make everyone that is at the concert feel like he is singing to only them. He was very down to earth and had a ton of energy. You leave a Dierks Bentley concert with the feeling that you just watched one of your good friends perform.

#3. Rascal Flatts: I have seen Rascal Flatts twice and the more you see them in concert the more you love them. I am a huge Rascal Flatts fan and know every word to all of their great songs and when you go to one of their concerts you realize every single Rascal Flatts fan is the same. The energy from the crowd and the band doesn't compare to the energy you will feel at any other concert.

#2. Jason Aldean: I have never been to a concert where the fans were on there feet the ENTIRE time of the the concert but that happened at the Jason Aldean concert. I was front row for this concert which made it even better but when I looked behind me you could tell that even the people in the back row were having as much fun as I was. Jason Aldean sang every song as if it was the only song he was going to perform that night and gave it everything he had until he walked off the stage after the last song.

#1.5 Kenny Chesney: Kenny Chesney has won Entertainer of the Year many years in a row and he definitely deserves that award! I have seen Kenny Chesney twice and both times were unforgettable. Kenny Chesney was the first country artist I saw that really knew how to put on a show and he is one of the main reasons I started to love going to concerts. I hope I get the chance to see Kenny Chesney a 3rd, 4th and 5th time because I love all of his songs and his concerts!

#1. Keith Urban: I was speechless after I left the Keith Urban Concert and I still kind of am. Every song he sang I looked over at my friend Jamie and said "That is my favorite song I will never forget him singing that live" and after the next song I would say/think the same exact thing. During the concert I wanted to soak up every moment because I didn't want to forget a thing about this concert. If you ever get the chance to see Keith Urban in concert jump at it because it is a concert you will never forget.

On a side note: I wouldn't have gone to 3/4 of these concerts if it wasn't for my country partner in crime Jamie. I can't imagine anyone else I would have rather gone to these concerts with because no one can party country style like we can :)
And a HUGE thanks to Megan for coming to the Jason Aldean concert with me because that was hands down one of the funnest nights of my life!

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!

Country Concerts in MN: Dierks Bentley & Keith Urban tickets

My concert partner Jamie just told me the most exciting news this morning. My prayers have finally been answered and my dream is coming true, Dierks Bentley is coming to Minnesota!!!!!!! The best part is that he isn't here for just one day but two days! On April 25Th and April 26Th Dierks Bentley will be at Mystic Lake Casino. The tickets haven't gone on sale yet but by this weekend I will probably have tickets for both nights and I will let you know where and how I got them. I am beyond excited to finally see "my husband" Dierks Bentley live in concert.
It has been a couple days since I have written a blog so I didn't get a chance to tell everyone that I got my Keith Urban tickets when he comes to the Xcel Energy Center on May 14Th. This is going to be the best year of country concerts I have experienced since I was born. I get excited every time I hear a Dierks, Urban, Zac Brown Band, and many other artist on the radio because I know it is just a matter of time before I see them in concert!

Country Concerts in MN: Exclusive Keith Urban Update

You can't even find this information out on the Keith Urban website but, I found out today when he will becoming to Minnesota. His Escape Together tour will be making a stop at the Xcel Energy Center on May 14th at 7:30. This will be the first time I will see Keith Urban in concert and I can hardly wait and think about how excited I am almost every day :) The only part I am a little sad about is who the opening band is going to be in Minnesota. During his tour he will have amazing opening acts like Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley, and Lady A. Sadly, when he comes here the opening band is going to be the Zac Brown Band. I do like that band but no where close to as much as I like his other opening acts. As long as I get to see Keith I will be happy! I will update my blog when I figure out how to get tickets :)
