| Electrifying Keith helped by storm By DAVID MALACHOWSKI, Special to the Times Union First published: Sunday, August 26, 2007 SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Though country hit-maker Toby Keith pulled out the stops with pyro and confetti, the big dog daddy got slightly upstaged Saturday night by the master -- Mother Nature. Midway through Miranda Lambert's set, lightning started flashing, with the wind howling through the pines as rain drenched the folks on the lawn and on the seats on the side. Lambert, of course, thought this was funny, and implied there should be a wet T-shirt contest. But it was during Keith's set that it became problematic. Toward the end of the high-spirited "High Maintenance Woman," the power cut out on stage, leaving a lengthy momentum-stealing break while generators were called up and computers rebooted. The often outspoken traditionalist from Clinton, Okla., actually just picked up where he left off (instead of moving on to a new song) and didn't miss a beat. From "Big Dog Daddy," "I Wanna Talk About Me" to "I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight" Keith's full meaty voice was quite high in the mix (not a given at SPAC shows recently) and his power and control were impressive, as was his crack band (with horn section), who were having a good night.. |
