Sorry it took me all day to get to our CMT Tour concert review posted.  I wanted to make sure that I didn’t have any distractions when writing it!

All I can say is if this tour comes anywhere near you - you MUST go see it.  It was an amazing night last night. 

We had a meet and greet with Lady Antebellum.  They are so friendly and talkative.  I will say that the guy taking the pictures kept the line moving very quickly.  It was one of the quickest Meet and Greets that I have ever had but it was still worth it.  While Dave was singing my CD Hilary stuck out her hand to shake mine and I gave her a hug instead and said congratulations!  LOL  Then I went for my big bear hug from Charles.  I hung on as long as I possible could but Dave said “hey - you gonna leave me out?”  So I couldn’t resist and went and gave him a  hug to.  Then they took the picture and it was over.  But again, very well worth it. 

After the meet and greet we went to sit in our seats.  We were about 15 rows back on the floor.  Eric Durrance came out first.  I was not familiar with any of his songs but watch out for him.  He rocked it.  I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more from him.  After his set he was walking around and we asked him if we could grab a picture with him.  His “people” said no and he said yes.  He just made us do it very quickly so he didn’t get in any more trouble.  I love it when artists take special care of their fans.  It really makes a difference.  Horrible angle for me in the picture but I want everyone to know who Eric Durrance is - look him up.  He’s good stuff.

After Eric Durrance was finished there was a very short stage and instrument change and with no introduction at all Lady Antebellum was on the stage tearing it up!  This was my first time to see the entire group together live (I have seen Charles sing solo twice now).  Let me tell you all - they sound amazing live!  Just like the CD that stays in my car.  They sang just about every song on their CD and we loved every minute of it.  I was actually sad when they left the stage.  (Thanks to my friend Mandy for the live concert pictures.  She was in the front row and had a great view)

Now please, Jason Aldean fans please do NOT get mad at me for this next section of the review.  I have seen Jason 4 times in concert before when he was opening act for Rascal Flatts.  I think he is an amazing performer and rocks the house down.  Last night though, I was not feeling it.  I don’t know what it was.  He sounded good and had high energy but I was just not as into him as I normally was.  It may have been the wall of frat boys directly in front of us that blocked our view from every angle. 

Because we were not fully into the Jason Aldean set we decided to head up to the Lady A merchandise table to get in line.  Here is another reason that I am falling in love with Lady A.  After the concert they stayed and signed autographs for every single last fan that wanted to meet them. 

We found out some excellent news from one of Lady Antebellum’s people, Adam but we can’t share it just yet.  Just know that Country Music Tattle Tale and Lady Antebellum have something special in common. 

I found out later from our friend Heather that Eric Durrance was just around the corner signing autographs for everyone as well but unfortunately we didn’t know that and left. 

Overall, the concert was amazing!!!!!  High energy and great entertainment.  I am looking forward to the day that Lady Antebellum headlines their very own tour.
