But this is country music and we do......

So far the best concert of the year (and we have seen some great ones) was the Brad Paisley H2O tour held at the new Amway Center in Orlando. We went with our friends Terry and Susie Muldoon. Thinking it would take forever to get into the parking garage and then into the concert we left early and were happily surprised to find how easy it is to pull into the parking garage and walk into the arena. Leaving was just as quick and easy.

There were two opening acts before Brad, and both were great. Jerred Neimann (What do you Want from Me) was first.....



Followed by one of our other favorites, Darius Rucker. We saw Darius in concert last year at the Strawberry Festival, and were even more impressed with him this year.




When Brad made his way to the stage he put on an amazing show...he played for an hour and 45 minutes without a break. It was GREAT!!!!!!



I truly believe he is, if not the best, one of the best guitar players in country music today.


This was one of the parts I liked best. He walked all around the arena and then came to the middle where he had set up a smaller stage. He walked up on the stage and asked "How is everyone in the cheap seats". He explained how when he was 17 he always had to sit in the cheap seats and he just wanted to give his fans....all of them the best show he could for their money. He said he knew how tough times were and he felt that all his fans that were paying to see him should have every advantage. He is SO cool!!


We would go back and see him again for sure!!!
