First up: Scotty McCreery!!!
We loved him on American Idol and we loved him in person.
Next performers were The Band Perry. We knew nothing about them, but have since learned they are siblings with the last name of Perry.
Then it was time for the man we'd been waiting to see:
Brad Paisley!!!!
He started the concert with his song "Camouflage."
We heard it for the first time right after Glen had surgery. We were laughing so hard at the lyrics. Glen was holding his stomach in pain. It's not a good thing to laugh that hard right after surgery...
His fiddling and guitar playing were phenomenal. What a talented performer.
He would flick his guitar pick out into the audience at the end of each song. At the end of this particular song, he gave away his guitar to a lucky fan.
Brad put on a spectacular show. There were lots of graphics and lights and special things going on while he was singing.
At one point in the show, he walked down off stage and moved through the floor crowd to get to a small round stage located at the other end of the arena where he performed a few songs. That was perfect for us as we were down on that end and had a straight ahead shot at him then.
He said he used to attend concerts when he was young and he would always be up right in the rafters at the opposite end of where the performance was happening and he was doing it for his fans who were sitting up there where he used to sit.
Toward the end of the concert, a guest singer appeared on stage and the crowd went wild. It was Carrie Underwood!! Who doesn't love her??
They sang a duet together and the more I watched and the more I thought about it, I just knew he wouldn't bring such a huge star out that late in the concert to sing only one song.
I got looking a little closer and figured out it was a hologram of Carrie. She sure looked real and he acted like she was real and I'm sure there are some people who left that night thinking they had seen her in person.
Brad Paisley puts on a very entertaining concert. We were so glad we had gone.
I learned he is going to change the tour name from "Camobunga" to "The Virtual Reality World Tour 2012."
All I have to say to that is CAMOBUNGA!!!!!

Fun. You never told me about the holographic Carrie Underwood. Sounds like a scene straight out of "Girl From Tomorrow."
I'm very jealous, I can see why Glen wanted us to stop texting him that night. :)
Oh my goodness! Check out the font!
Oh my goodness! Look at the size of those pictures!
Oh my goodness! I still see blue.
