This might have been the best show I have ever been to...and I've been to many.

Though the Wachovia is my least favorite venue because of the expense and the seating (even narrow for my small self) this show was amazing. Keith Urban gave one of the best performances I have ever seen. He was so into it, smiling and jamming and saying he felt like he was home. He spent a lot of time in the center of everyone, walking down from the stage and down the runway. He may very well be the best guitarist I have ever seen perform live. The entire show was so comfortable for him, you could tell that music is his passion and just the fact that he was on stage thrilled him. Even the standing people and drunk girl in the rows in front of us couldn't ruin this performance.

Of course it looked almost sold out in that huge venue and so the crowd sang loud and true when asked. We did a "fun wave" in which we went around the whole place twice, waving our arms up while holding our lit cell phones. I have to say it looked pretty freaking cool.

Brian got us pretty good seats and so when Keith was in the center we were able to see him really well. Oh my gosh he is so gorgeous. (Reminds me of my Bri in that way). Except Keith has tattoos and earrings and I am such a sucker for both of those extras. ;o)

The Wreckers opened and they are cute, but unfortunately I couldn't hear them very well while they were singing. It was difficult to get into it when I couldn't understand what they were saying. But they were also very pleased at the crowd and loved what they were doing.

Keith's set included an enormous amount of songs...including "Making Memories Of Us," "Who Wouldn't Want To Be Me?," "I Told You So," "Stupid Boy" (which I cried through), "Got It Right This Time," "Faster Car," "You'll Think of Me," "Better Half" gosh I can't even begin to list them all.

After they left the stage and we all clapped and screamed for one more song, Keith topped off the night by saying he had no intentions of leaving because we are the best (drunkest) crowd he has ever played for and he didn't want to go. He stayed up on stage both at the piano and with his guitar for another 40 minutes. Phenomenal, I am telling you, absolutely phenomenal!

And when he sang "Got It Right This Time" he dedicated the song to Nicole Kidman (his wife) and said he wouldn't be here today if it weren't for her. Awwwwww, I so love Keith Urban. Such a great person, singer, husband, guitarist, pianist...etc.

I know a lot of people reading this blog are not into country music. But I must insist you give Keith a listen. He totally rocks out, it's not that hick, twangy country music you may be used to hearing. This is awesome, awesome music and he is so freaking talented!
