This bill was absolutely stacked, with 3 really talented opening bands. And man, did they shine! Little Big Town and Eli Young Band were the two best act of the night by far. Don't get me wrong, Rascal Flatts was pretty good, but they just don't have as much of a stage presence and live vocal capabilities as a band like Little Big Town. The crowd was intensely into Rascal Flatts the whole time though, singing the words to every single song they played. And to their credit, they chose a good setlist stacked with all of their biggest hits (except "My Wish"). Little Big Town is just so talented every time live. You just can beat their harmonies- they always sound fantastic together. It was also nice to hear some of their new music from "Tornado" out September 11. All in all, this was an amazing 4.5 hour concert and I would definitely recommend it!
