The St. Paul show was awesome!!! Kenny showed us again just why he is the Entertainer of the Year for the third time!! This was the best Kenny concert yest I have seen in the past 5 years. I know I said that last year, but he does keep getting better & better!

Wow!!! Where do I even begin? I decorated the car windows just before we left even though we left the car at the motel and walked. We were halfway there when I got a call from the people who were supposed to buy my seats, apparently they were at Coyote Ugly Friday night and Cruzan gave them seats a section closer than I had, so basically we had to take a loss on the seats since we had no other interested people. We got there around 1 central, they let us check in early (thank goodness) since they were letting all the other fans check in. Then we walked over to the Ramada to get the 3rd row tix I bought. There was a free show with Rhett Akins and others across the road from the stadium, we stayed by the stadium 'til the last couple of songs of Rhett's so we walked over just so I could get a pic or 2. Stopped at the GM booth and got a free CD since I'm a cardholder. Doors opened around a quarter to 3 instead of 2:30. I went to the seat & stayed there in the sun for a while, and closer to the show starting time the sun moved behind the stage & stayed there so we were in the shade quicker on the ground than we woulda been in the stands, and had Cokes to drink. Little Big Town came on followed by Dierks, Big & Rich who brought out 2 foot Fred & Cowboy Troy (I noticed Kenny's mom since she was sitting on the stage watching them, they ended up in a few pics), then Gretchen came out & rocked us all right before Kenny. I will say that I think a good part of the crowd had a few too many of the $7 beers, they were batting those beachballs pretty hard, I got hit in the head with one of the Yoo-hoo ones and saw a guy spill beer on himself and one drunk girl kept chasing a beach ball to hit it. There were some Kenny look-a-likes in the crowd but the real Kenny is the only one who can turn me on lol! Kenny came out & did the set list below and had 3 special guests, none of which were anybody in sports. I called Cheryl C. from the fan club & let her listen to some of the show.

Summertime
Live those songs
Big Star
Beer in Mexico
Keg in the Closet
Pause to say "It sure is hot in here, I mean OUT here! I've played in Nashville before but this has to be the best night!"
No Shoes
There goes my life
Living in fast forward
Young
Anything but mine
I go back
Old blue chair (just Kenny & his guitar, no band and no chair just the video on the screen)
Back where I come from - said this was the 1st time Mac Macanally ever got to see him sing it live and Mac joined him onstage and they sang it together
Hurt so good w/ Gretchen Wilson
Don't happen twice
When the sun goes down Kracker came out and they also did
Midnight rider
Cowboy
Then Kenny says "I'm gonna bring out a good friend of mine, the CMA ETOY KEITH URBAN they did
Love somebody like you - walked off stage together we all chanted "Kenny" he came back to do
Who you'd be today - montage of deceased celebrities with lights pointed skyward, he looked up too and seemed emotional, I was crying on the inside
She thinks my tractor's sexy
He signed the guitar & gave it to a little boy

The pics I got were good on the most part, but if Kenny is not looking your way then don't wave your arms, it messes up those of us trying to take pics!!!!!!!! I could cry cuz the only good Kenny pics I got were on the screen. The show was so good that one of the ushers was dancing & another was clappin' with the beat! Saw Cassie from the Coyote Ugly search tv series. Ate at Cracker Barrel & got on highway 41 and went up the mountain then got back on the interstate to skip the traffic jam of construction.
