Kenny was good, but I felt that he didn't play long enough. I don't know if it was time constraint or what, but I know he had more songs that he could play. I am appreciative that he did play as it rained. Thanks Vet Tix

It was a great concert, very glad Friday night was added. KC and band was on top of their game. Song selection was spot on for the venue location. Our 3rd Kenny Chesney concert and I think the best. First time at this venue, it was better than expected. Weather started to sprinkle but ended comfortably with clear starry skies. Kelsea Ballerini was a great opening act! Very glad we went. Thank Brian & Eve

Kenny Chesney: 4/27/23 “There were exactly 55 days to go before sweet Summertime kicked in but one would never know by the likes of the Greenville crowd Thursday evening at The Well around 7:30 p.m. Despite the all day heavy rains with temperatures in the 50’s everything did get hotter when the sun went down! The ‘No Shoes Nation’ filled the house in anticipation of a great evening of country music which promised close to 30 songs on the list. Coming off his 2022 NFL stadium tour the 55 year old singer/songwriter/superstar decided to take his music to fans who exist beyond the major stadium markets. Hence the call for the ‘I Go Back 2023 Tour’, a 24 date circuit across America beginning in Virginia and ending in Iowa, and South Carolina was exactly halfway between —stop #12. This being Kenny’s 18th major tour the ‘King Of The Road’ has it down with every stop at least a full day away from the next to ensure a quality experience. With 19 studio albums, 30 million in sales, 70 singles, 30 of them reaching #1, it was obvious that some would be missing but that was a-okay for me. It was my first time seeing Chesney live and I ready to soak in the experience. My view, not too bad and reasonably priced on the presale was upper bowl, row F, straight on, purposely steering myself clear from the upper corners and their bouncing echos. The arena was set in 270 Standard in contrast to the Well’s usual 180 Standard utilizing 8 additional full sections to accommodate the sold out crowd. Upon arrival a black and white No Shoes Nation skull and crossbones image on a large screen initially concealed my view to the stage set up. Showtime would reveal an open concept stage in the shape of a horizontal ‘H’ with small pits or ‘sandbars’ left and right between the open areas of the ‘H’. The packed pits couldn’t have held more than 75 individuals each. A full stage length video screen ran left to right with a double triangle overhead lighting rig contained in a stage sized rectangular box. Three hanging rows of lights each side illuminated a set of 8 Marshall amps with palm tree images on the speaker boxes. Five steps up would provide access to the drum level where an aquamarine Gretsch kit was placed stage left while an organ sat stage right. The guitarists (3 of them) would spend the majority of their time in the forefront of the stage along with the star of the show. At precisely 7:30 29 year old Kelsea Ballerini opened with a 45 minute / 11 song set. With 4 studio albums, 15 singles with 5 #1’s the Opry member/singer/songwriter/musician from Kenny’s hometown showed out to be the perfect choice to support him on the tour. Beginning with last year’s #4 ‘Heartfelt’ she moved quickly into ‘Hole In The Bottle’, ‘Are you ready to put a hole in the bottle with us tonight?’, she called out. Mid-song she paused to introduce and feature each member of her super-talented 7 person band. Next in her own words, she then took ‘a quick little trip down memory lane’ (at the sound of which I had to chuckle) with a medley of 2014-2016 songs. Proving herself a guitar player as well as a singer she strapped on a sparkling pink telecaster to match the same colored top and pink and orange pants she was wearing. A version of The Chicks ‘Cowboy Take Me Away’ was mixed in with her own 2022’s ‘Love Is A Cowboy’ to the delight of her fans. A pedal steel solo was featured on the honky-tonk driven ‘You’re Drunk Go Home’. 2023’s ‘Penthouse’ was a highlight, Ballerini introducing the song by recalling her personal struggles. ‘I started writing songs when I was twelve because my parents got divorced and I’m an only child, the gift of songwriting fell into my lap and it’s been the truest love of my life ever since.’ ‘I got back to the little girl that just had to write about her feelings. If you’re here and you’re going through a heartbreak or a break-up or a divorce, hang in there you’re gonna be okay, you’re gonna be happier when you get to the other side.’ In my opinion Kelsey was one of the most listenable and entertaining newer country music openers I’ve seen perform in quite a while. One would never know she admittedly struggles from PTSD being a witness of the Knoxville Central High shootings back in 2008 the way she handles a crowd at one point kneeling down on the walkway while taking selfies with fans cell phone cameras. She interacted just as any seasoned veteran of the stage would. She’s grateful as well, ‘To be able to just warm up his (Kenny’s) show every night and call him a friend and have a song with him, it means the world to me., thank you for showing up early to hang out with us tonight.’ During the intermission the skull and crossbones logo was swapped out for a ‘WHO LIVES LIKE WE DO’ No Shoes Nation logo on the screen as beachballs began making an appearance int the floor sections with a t-shirt toss ensuing from a front the stage. At 8:45 the lights went down to a N.S.N. video intro after which the Knoxville native Mr. Kenneth Arnold Chesney took the stage for a 2 hour and 10 minute / 29 song set opening with 2014’s #1 ’Til It’s Gone’. Mid-song Kenny addressed the South Carolina audience, ‘Believe it or not Greenville it has been eight years since we have been in this building and this city and for that I do apologize. For the next couple of hours we are going to do our best for every second of those eight years!’ Dressed in his trademark Bangora straw hat and a black tank top (which didn’t take long to become sweat drenched) Kenny moved around the stage left to right like a duck in a moving target carnival game. The entire arena stood to their feet all evening long. The evening proved to be full of surprises as well as number ones (19 of them in total), too many to list out! In only the second song ‘Beer In Mexico’ he let the six person band loose to jam all across the stage. It wasn’t all number ones though, Kenny slid a few number twos in as well, ‘I Go Back’, ‘Big Star’, and ‘Young’. They might just as well have been number ones or number tens for that matter as far as the audience was concerned as we sang along to every word. Prior to 2018’s ‘Get Along’ Kenny jestingly noted, ‘We realize most of you have something to do tomorrow and if it makes any difference Kenny will write you a doctor’s note.’ During the song’s solo, Danny Rader came to the forefront with a gorgeous double neck guitar/banjo as the cameraman zoomed in for every pick and grin. Then there here was ‘The Good Stuff’, Kenny filling us in ‘this song in particular we have not done on tour in ten years and it feels really good to do it again.’ During ‘When The Sun Goes Down’ he introduced the band: Danny Rader on guitar, Nick Buda on drums, Ms. Harmoni Kelley (a fan favorite) on bass, Wyatt Beard on keyboards, and also on guitars both Kenny Greenberg and Jon Conley. He brought Kelsey back on stage for three songs sung as duets, ‘Wild Child’, ‘You And Tequila’, and ‘Half Of My Hometown’ at which point he brought out his mother who was in town stating that it’s ‘not every day you get your mom on stage’! With mom in center holding hands and hugging the two she helped the duet sing Ballerini’s number one single. Kenny added two songs to the evening’s setlist stating, ‘When we started the night this song was not on the set list.’ It was his #2 ‘Do It’, a song about losing someone close to you which he sang in honor of a buddy/songwriter Keith Gattis who had died earlier in the week. ‘The Boys Of Fall’ was the second song he added to the set in honor of his friend USC Coach Lincoln Riley and his buddy and our very own Dabo Sweeney who were both in attendance. The encore’s first song was ‘Anything But Mine’ with the fans already singing the words before he even took hold of the mic, and ending it with his guitarist playing the solo back to the floor. ‘Don’t Happen Twice’ wound down the evening with Kenny hand picking a lucky female fan out from the sandbar to come up on stage with him and receive a hand autographed guitar. Folks, shows like this just ‘don’t happen twice. As fans streamed out of the arena into the cold and dark evening rain somehow things just seemed to be sunny and bright once again!

The show was awesome! Kenny is a great singer, musician, entertainer and person. He has so much energy and never stops playing all his hits. Band was great as well. We thought when he brought out Kelsea Ballerini and Little Big Town to sing with him it could not get any better but it did. He did an encore and signed a guitar and ask a little girl up on stage and presented her with it. He then spoke with her and gave her a hug. I am sure its a night she will never forget. Kenny is a must see and I would love the chance one day for a meet and greet.

Kenny, great show! Location, RIDICULOUS!! We understood why he played there once we finally found an entrance that was actually moving! I'll never return to that stadium unless one of my own kids play there!

Kenny was great! Unfortunately, the venue was awful. The old Crew stadium does not have the infrastructure to support the traffic and people. We missed both opening acts (that we really wanted to see too) thanks to gridlocked traffic. Loved Kenny and his energy, but that was my first and last concert in the Historic Crew Stadium.

Fabulous!! Well, worth the 4year wait!! He put on a great show! Dan and Shey, Carly Pierce, and Old Dominion were fabulous and great warm up groups that really brought the energy into the place. U.S. Bank stadium was rocking!!

Fantastic to be back with my peeps (performers and fans) in-person. Absolutely amazing show from start to finish. Love the artists’ appreciation for us and our appreciation for them. Who lives like we do? We do!!

Kenny was incredible. Superb voice…tons of energy. All of the usual he brings to one of his shows. My downfall was 2 fold. One- even though you cant expect premium sound in a stadium, the sound was terrible. This started with open act Dan + Shay. The mix was terrible. Second- Kenny’s band. Though realizing this was only the second night of the tour, the band sounded “disjointed” to me. At one point, I actually the band was playing a different song than what Kenny was singing to. In the past, I remember Kenny’s band being super “tight”. They’ve got a long ways to go and will hopefully hit their stride in the coming nights of their tour.

Incredible show!!! My son and wife got me and my wife tickets for the show for my birthday, which is April 26th. We flew from Cleveland to have the time of our lives at The Florabama, which Kenny snuck in and sang a song upstairs, and of course to see the show.

Awesome venue. To see a Big star like Chesney in a small venue. Top notch. Not a Chesney fan but I will tell you it was a top 10 concert in my 30 plus years of seeing live events

we have came to everyone of Kenny's concerts here in Seattle. He is an amazing artist, he brings a party and a fantastic experience that has us coming back every year. When ever he starts a tour we look for our day, and start planning. Can't wait till the next show.

This guy brings so much energy to his shows. Amazing performance! The opening acts were good as well. I was worried about the sound, but it looks like the Mercedes Benz stadium got it worked out.

He came on at 8:45 and the concert was over by 10:05. The opening act wasn't very good. Kenny was amazing, but the price of tickets for only an hour and 15 minutes was ridiculous.

It was so much fun, and bringing Kid Rock along was so cool! I wish he would've made a bigger entrance though. Last year he came in over our heads, and if I was 5 inches taller, I would've been able to touch his boot. Besides that, he always puts on a great show . This is my 3rd time seeing him in concert, and I hope I will be able to see him again next year!

my first concert couldn't have been better!! thank you Kenny and to my fiancé tom for an unforgettable night. There's so much I could say, but honestly, you just need to see him for yourself. HE IS AMAZING!!

It was raining pretty heavily most of the night, but nobody beyond the pavilion really cared! I've seen Kenny almost every time he's been to Charlotte and he always puts on an incredible show! Last night was no different! It was well worth getting drenched for!!

Loved it! Wish I could've had better seats, and that I wasn't late; But happy to have met the people I sat next to! Kenny was amazing live! Such an amazing voice that man has! 💗🎼👍 So happy I got to go!!

Great show for a terrific cause. We had an awesome time. Kenny and Miranda were great. Good times at my favorite place Jordan Hare. Kenny was very sincere and just a nice guy. Him and Miranda both made me fans of them last night. The concert was so great I can not even complain about the long wait in line to get inside. So much fun. Thank you Kenny&CO for a spectacular night in Auburn.
