Concert: Brad Paisley

August 3, 2007 Mohegan Sun Casino, Uncasville, Connecticut  

I don't have any photos of this show and I can't find a tour poster image.  I guess I could take a picture of my ticket stub.  Anyhow my then wife wanted to go to this concert and I was game to get away.  Ticketmaster fees today are obnoxious, but even back then they were bad.  It was actually cheaper to buy a membership in the Brad Paisley fan club and buy tickets from them than it was to buy them direct from the casino.  Also the fan club tickets were better than what was available from Ticketmaster.

What was unique is that Paisley had three opening acts that included American Idol alumni Kellie Pickler, newcomer Taylor Swift and Jack Ingram.  All three of them had hit songs on the radio.  I don't have Picklers complete set, but I thought she was fantastic.  Taylor Swift was very energetic and  put on a heck of a show.  I don't recall much from Jack Ingram other than people loved his cover of Hinder's "Lips of an Angel".  

Paisley's set was also fantastic, I was familiar with almost all of his songs.  Near the end of his set he called out a special guest in Glen Campbell, who was performing at the Mohegan Sun the next day.  Brad asked Glen if he'd like to play a song and then proceed to play several of his hits and mostly Brad just stood and stared at him like a little kid.  It was FANTASTIC!!

It was a very long night and after the show and after the show both Kellie and Taylor were in the venue concours to sign autographs and sell merch.  I only had time to choose one to meet, and in the long run, I chose poorly going with Kellie Pickler.
