Keith Urban - Light the Fuse Tour [8/8/13]
Aug. 9th, 2013 02:51 amDad and I left for Merriweather around 330, made it down there by 430. Had to head down absurdly early cause Dad won a meet and greet through the fanclub thingy, but only for one. Which, only fair, after I subjected him to Big Time Rush the other week... He headed over after grabbing a bite to eat, while I chilled at the mall a while. Lame mall, btw. Or maybe I just needed reminding how much I hate malls? Either way... I spent most of my time in Starbucks, reading World War Z.
Headed over myself (luckily without getting drenched by the random on and off all day storms), and headed in without issue. Stopped by to see how the meet and greet was proceeding - they were getting ready to go in for that - and then went to my seat to chill.
This is one of few concerts where Dad and I weren't sitting together. It was the only way to get good seats. We did it for BTR, but that's cause I got mine through the meet and greet and he just bought a regular ticket. We're doing it again for Imagine Dragons next month, but that's more of a sit on opposite sides of the pavilion thing as opposed to opposite sides of the section. Sucked for Dad, though, he got the end seat away from the stage, despite my offers to switch. Dad came back right before the opener started, said that the meet and greet went awesome (aside from all the swooning women) and that he was really nice and actually stopped to talk for a minute or two as opposed to some of there 'here's your hat, what's your hurry' ones we've had.
After an intro from the local country radio station queen, Dustin Lynch started things off at 7. I'd... never heard of him before, but he was pretty good. I think this was his setlist: Dancing in the Headlights, Yeah Yeah Yeah, She Cranks My Tractor, Hurricane, Dust on the Bottle (David Lee Murphy cover) and then Rock Your Body (Justin Timberlake cover) (which was appropriate since JT was playing in town tonight, too). Cowboys And Angels and then Wild in Your Smile.
He was done by like 735 and they were set up for Little Big Town like 10 minutes later. They played
Little White Church, On Fire Tonight, Bring It On Home, Pavement Ends, Sober, Front Porch Thing, Your Side Of The Bed, The Chain (Fleetwood Mac cover), Self Made, Tornado, Pontoon and Boondocks.
Keith Urban started at 9 and went til about 1045. He started with this instrumental openy bit, but then dove into Long Hot Summer and Sweet Thing. Then I Told You So and Stupid Boy, then one of his new ones, from the CD that comes out next month, called Even the Stars Fall 4 You, You Gonna Fly (with Little Big Town), Without You and Kiss a Girl (with Dustin Lynch). Then he ran up into the crowd on our side, up by the lawn, and did a little snippet of The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again, and then went straight into Days Go By, and ended on a snippet of Rumor Has It (Adele) sung by one of his band members. He did Once In A Lifetime up there, too, and came back to the stage after that. He did Better Life with a bandmate snippet of Some Nights (fun.), and then You'll Think Of Me, and Little Bit of Everything, which is another new one, then Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me and Somebody Like You. Encored with Tonight I Wanna Cry, done on the piano, mostly acoustically. Then a bandmate snippet of Locked Out of Heaven (Bruno Mars) and ended with You Look Good in My Shirt.
It was pretty cool. Nice and calm and not too many drunk people or any of the other annoying concert things. Dad had a few problematic people on his end, which, combined with the fact that his camera was acting all sorts of batshit crazy, resulted in a little frustration. Glad I took... 495 pictures to compensate for that. And killed both of my batteries for the first time ever... Knocked that down to less than 200, though.
