4/14/2016 Carrie Underwood, Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ

April 14, 2016 - Phoenix, AZ

Carrie Underwood brought her Storyteller Tour to Talking Stick Resort Arena.
This was a big production performed in the round with a drop away stage that allowed for multiple wardrobe changes and instrument swaps. Fireworks, bombs and a flashy light show with the 360 stage and an ACDC open gave the show a rock concert feel.
She sang great and looked spectacular.

Ted Nugent, also arguably at his career peak performance-wise, closed the festival. In this pre-bottled water era, each of the 60K+ in attendance at Soldier Field could bring in a gallon jug. When Nugent took the stage, the empty jugs were thrown from the back and upper levels of the stadium down to the main floor and toward the stage. Jugs were tossed at the band with Nuge egging it on. So many gallon jugs accumulated on stage the show was stopped and staff with push brooms worked to clear the area.

5/4/1979 Allman Brothers Band, Freedom Hall, Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center, Louisville, KY

 42 years ago today... May 4, 1979 - Louisville, KY Following a three-year breakup, the Allman Brothers Band reunited to headline the Derby Eve Jam at Freedom Hall at the Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center. As its name suggests, the Derby Eve Jam is an annual concert held on the Friday night before the running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Firefall opened the show, but everyone was there to see Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts after mending fences and releasing a new studio album titled "Enlightened Rogues." My pal and I returned to Louisville and the Run For The Roses for a second-straight year, upgrading our lodging from sleeping bags in the back of my El Camino to a youth hostel tent campus. We arrived at the concert in a significantly altered state. Although we sat high in the rafters of Freedom Hall, we were laser-focused on the stage and these kings of Southern Rock. When the show ended, my friend and I looked at each other clearly ready for more. Chec...
