Kenny Chesney Sun City Carnival Concert

This is a little late, but I just made the blog and wanted something strong to start the blog off with. Four weeks ago there was Kenny Chesney’s Sun City Carnival Concert. For anyone who has ever been to a Kenny Chesney Concert you know that he puts on an excellent show. But his concert this year has been the best so far. Chesney has been coming to Detroit Michigan for seven years now and each year he is impressing Detroit more and more. Kenny had not only one opening band but four opening bands. This year he had Lady Antebellum, followed by Miranda Lambert, and Montgomery Gentry. All these bands pumped up the crowd for Sugarland who opened right before Kenny. This years concert was packed with great music and powerful energy from the artist who made time seemed like it stopped. Lady Antebellum only has four hit songs at the moment, if they played only their songs they would have had to put on a very short show. Fortunately, Lady Antebellum likes to keep their crowds on their feet so they played some oldies that everyone knows. They played songs like “Kiss’s I Wanna Rock n Roll” and ACDC’s “You shook Me All Night Long”. Even though this was a country concert these rock songs are hits in all genres. Lady Antebellum was a great band to start the concert off because they got the crowd pumped and excited for the artists to come. After Lady Antebellum was Miranda Lambert. For anyone who knows Miranda Lambert’s music, they know that Miranda Lambert is more of a rock country artist than a regular country artist, just like Keith Urban. Miranda Lambert shook her hair around when she sang her songs like “Gun Powder and Lead” and “Kerosene”, just like she was singing at a rock concert. Then Miranda Lambert took the concert back from the rock country songs she sings to the country songs and sang “Famous in a Small Town”. Miranda Lambert kept her play list well balanced between her rock country songs and her country songs. Montgomery Gentry took the audience from sitting in their seats and singing along to standing at their seats and singing along with the songs they knew. Montgomery Gentry gave off such a great energy that the audience couldn’t help but dance along to the music. Montgomery Gentry played some of their new music such as “One In every Crowd” and “This Is My Town” and also a few of their old music such as “Gone” and “Wanted Dead Or Alive”, that they kept all of the audience singing because everyone knew a few of their songs. The older crowd was happy to hear Montgomery Gentry’s old stuff that they loved and their younger crowd was excited that they played their newest hits and not just their old stuff. Montgomery Gentry amazed the crowd because they played excellently and kept the crowd asking for more. Sugarland could have been the main performance they were spectacular. Sugarland played nothing but great music, and knew when to take it slow and play a few of their sadder, slower songs and when to kick it into high gear. Sugarland took the audience to the next level to where they couldn’t even stand still until they were too tired to dance anymore. Sugarland took their song “All I Want to do” and altered the chorus in the middle to have different songs within it to reach the few audience members that are more rockers than country listeners. If Kenny Chesney wasn’t in the concert Sugarland would have stolen the show they were so good.Kenny Chesney is one artist that no matter how many times he has performs at Detroit he keeps getting the same audience coming back and wanting more along with newcomers. This year Kenny Chesney entered the concert by floating in mid air over the crowd singing his music. Kenny Chesney gives off such great energy into his music that the audience doesn’t even notice that time is flying by. Uncle Kracker made a performance once again this year to sing When The Sun Goes Down with Kenny Chesney. The two of them singing together is a great thing to watch because it is like watching two best friends singing together like they are just goofing around. Kenny Chesney was so good that the audience kept clapping and cheering him that he came back out when he was done to sing two encore songs. Over all the concert was well worth the money no matter where you where seated. With those great artists all in one place the eight hour concert felt like it was only two. Any set of artist that can pull that off together is considered a concert that should go down in history was legendary.
