Play On Day 1

Birmingham people, mark your calendar for June 12th. Then, do yourself a favor and buy yourself a ticket to see Carrie Underwood's "Play On" Tour. I guarantee you that you won't see a better show or hear a better voice in country music right now!

I had the opportunity to see the first show in Reading, PA last night from second row dead center. I know you all know that I'm a huge Carrie fan...BUT, biased or not, that was the best show I have EVER seen! One guy I was with commented, "That was a religious experience." He is right in more ways than one...Carrie Underwood had church up in that building! She sang "Temporary Home" and "Jesus Take the Wheel" with "How Great Thou Art" at the end. I have no words to describe it!

I read an article before I went to the show in which Carrie said they were going for broke with this show....to quote an American Idol day Carrie quote, "She knocked it out the box!"

That's the best review I can give for now. All I can say was it was beyond incredible. Let a few of my 700 pictures speak for now.

Sons of Sylvia opened along with Craig Morgan. The lead singer of Sons of Sylvia used to be Carrie's fiddle player!


Cowboy Casasnova




Rocker Carrie


Look at the amazing set she had...yes, she's swinging! Singing "Just a Dream"






"Temporary Home"




"So Small"




Carrie brought the Opry with her!




She even played the piano!


Yes, ladies and gentleman, she flew on a truck through the arena!


"Jesus Take The Wheel"


"What Can I Say" featuring Sons of Sylvia....oh the emotion in this song!




After 24 songs, it's over...Whew! Wow!


To leave you...my favorite part of the show!


Thank goodness I get to see the show again the next 2 nights!
