\"\"<\/a> I know your initial reaction would be to think this is my phone and Brady Paisley taking a selfie with it. Well………..unfortunately this is not my\u00a0phone, but, if you look closely I am in the background waving frantically at the camera. So as Brad gave the phone back to the girl in the front row, she was quickly swarmed with people, such as myself, entering their phone number to send out the picture.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1074\"On September 4th, I visited Brad Paisley for the second time, this performance was at the Austin 360 Amphitheater. The first time I saw him perform was in 2011 at the Houston rodeo. Although I was not within spitting distance of him in 2011, I was still very impressed with his performance. \u00a0That was my first time seeing him live and really listening to his music. Quickly after the performance I was downloading all of his songs and had them on repeat. Along with having a great voice, Paisley is just a very entertaining performer. He is always moving around the stage and keeps the audience engaged. At one of Paisley’s concerts you will be sure to hear most of his classics which include: “Camouflage,” “Then,” “Ticks,” “Mud on the Tires,” and then to end the concert of course he sings “Alcohol”. Along with many more of his greatest hits, these were probably his most popular songs and really got the crowd involved.<\/p>\n

While having big expectations from the first performance, Paisley definitely pleased my needs the second time around. Even though Carrie Underwood did not make a special appearance to sing “Remind Me,” it was still a great performance. \u00a0Although he performed a majority of the same songs, he still impressed me with his lyrics. \u00a0One thing you will be sure to get at a Brad Paisley concert is the same voice and you hear on the radio. His voice on the radio and his voice live are exactly the\u00a0same which shows\u00a0there is no tampering in his albums. Side note, one lucky boy even received a guitar from Paisley himself after playing a song with it then signing it.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1057\"One interesting thing I learned at this concert was how much Paisley uses the violin in his songs. Besides \u00a0Paisley strumming the guitar most of the time, I would say the violin was the second most used instrument in the band. The violinist also received the most solos, behind Paisley of course,\u00a0and was very impressive during this performance. Overall, Brad Paisley always puts on a great show. You will never die of boredom or stop tapping your foot along with the rhythmic melody is his songs. \u00a0I would strongly encourage anyone to get see a concert of his if the opportunity is available, you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n

I would like to hear about anyone else’s experience at his one of his concerts or any other thought yall may have! Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
