| Chesney and fans heat up the North Shore Sunday, June 15, 2008 By Rosa Colucci, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Kenny Chesney Poets & Pirates Tour Caravan rolled mightily into Heinz Field last night for a sold out show on the premier stop of the 2008 tour. Besides Chesney, the other main acts were country superstars LeAnn Rimes, Keith Urban -- and the amazing stage they performed on. It must be said. Besides looking good and being versatile with long risers that reached into the belly of the audience, it was outfitted with the best digital projection this reviewer has ever seen. The four main screens appeared to be high-def movie quality and just got better as the day turned into night. Wow. Back to the show (... and what a show it was.) After early sets by Gary Allan and Luke Bryan and the last of the rains moved through, Rimes strutted her yoga-svelte self onto the stage in a slinky-silver top, matching platform shoes and short-shorts perfect for the steamy evening air. She tore through an hour of music including her country and pop hits and gave a generally pleasing performance with those superstar pipes of hers. Keith Urban was up next and from the first note on the guitar, he worked the crowd like the A-list professional he is. His musical chops are some of the best in the business and he showcased them as he rocked out on "Where the Black Top Ends" and "Shine." On "Better Half" he wailed on lead guitar getting up close to the audience and I had to remind myself this was a country show. . |

| It was exciting and well worth money spent. Only thing I didn't like is when the performers talked to the audience most of the time we could not understand a word they said. |
| Great show as usual. Keith Urban had a huge smile on his face the whole time. Chesney concerts are always a big party and this one was no exception. He deserves entertainer of the year for sure! I agree that it was hard to hear what they were saying when they talked to the audience. I wasn't sure if it was where I was sitting or not. But luckily, Kenny doesn't do much talking. He makes sure you get the most for your money with his songs. |
