A rock band opening for a country band is not something that
happens everyday.
Halestorm, Eric Church, and Dwight Yoakam geared up for a
tour together and that result was interesting.
Halestorm was the first band and they, of course, rocked.
They only had time for six songs.
I have a small problem with this, because, and no disrespect
to Dwight Yoakam, but he got 15 songs. Really?
But I digress.
Halestorm made the best of their six songs and performed
like there was no tomorrow.
They played
I Like It Heavy (New Song)
Freak Like Me
I Get Off
I Miss The Misery
Drum Solo
Love Bites (So Do I)
Here's To Us
Following them was Dwight Yoakam.
He is definitely influential and has done so many things
like music, acting, etc.
He played
Dim Lights, Thick Smoke
Please, Please Baby
Little Sister (Elvis Cover)
Streets of Bakersfield
(Buck Owens Cover)
It Won't Hurt
This Drinkin' Will Kill Me
Second Hand Heart
Ain't That Lonely Yet
Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash Cover)
Nothing's Changed Here
Honky Tonk Man (Johnny Horton Cover)
A Thousand Miles From Nowhere
Little Ways
Guitars, Cadillacs
Fast As You
By the time Eric Church was on, it was almost 9:30. So I was
a little tired, but I tried to perceive the performance with an open mind.
He played (mostly in the right order)
The Outsiders
Creepin'
Guys Like Me
What I Almost Was
I'm Gettin' Stoned
Pledge Allegiance to the Hag
Drink in My Hand
How 'Bout You
Jack Daniels
Cold One
That's Damn Rock & Roll (With Lzzy from Halestorm)
Give Me Back My Hometown
Homeboy
Dark Side
Country Music Jesus
Smoke a Little Smoke
These Boots
Can't Take It With You
Livin' Part of Life
Sinners Like Me
Lotta Boot Left to Fill (Took boots from people in the crowd
and signed them)
Born In The USA
(Bruce Springsteen Cover)
Springsteen
Overall, the show was great. Halestorm should have gotten
more set time but that is just my opinion. I am still the only one in that
arena that got to interview her earlier in the day. Roll Tide to that.
