| Toby Keith's fireworks dazzle White River audience By Tim Appelo Special to The Seattle Times Fans had to inch through L.A.-style traffic to get to Friday's Toby Keith show at the White River Amphitheatre, past signs for Muckleshoot fireworks billed as "Wild'n'Mild." But Keith's show was worth the drive, a pyrotechnic triumph rife with festive confetti cannonades, red-white-and-blue explosions no Muckleshoot shack could top, and wonderfully funny videos on huge screens. Miranda Lambert, the floppy-mopped blonde Texas bombshell known for vigilante ex-girlfriend rants, opened the show on a down-home note. Except for her sizzling-pink guitar, she stuck to unflashy barroom stagecraft. Though physically graceless, Lambert's pipes are the genuine article, a whole lot of country with a soupcon of punk. She knocked Gillian Welch's "Dry Town" out of the park. Keith's boot-in-your-butt showmanship lived up to his braggadocious lyrics in "Big Dog Daddy," and the audience swayed and sang along to his anthems of hard times and liquor, of old-time pieties and smoking weed with Willie Nelson until you're "down in a fetal position with a buncha drool on [your] chin.". |
