| REVIEW: Country Fest is sure to please BY HOPE FERTITTA SUN CHRONICLE STAFF Sunday, July 27, 2008 1:50 AM EDT FOXBORO - He rose from the middle of the crowd in an entrance reserved only for superstars; and that's exactly what he is. Kenny Chesney opened his sold out Poets and Pirates tour to deafening applause. Despite the country heavy-hitters who preceded him, he was clearly the man everyone came to see, and he didn't disappoint. Playing an impressive set list of over twenty songs, he kick off the show with "Live those songs" and "Summertime" and the crowd went wild for his 2005 hit "Beer in Mexico" And this was just the warm up. Making sure to please his fans, Chesney threw in the crowd favorites "Big Star," No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems," and "Guitars and Tiki Bars." We also got a glimpse of his softer side with "Don't Blink," a song he says is about "living life and never taking it for granted" and "Never Wanted Nothing More" both hits off his current album, "Poets and Pirates." Surprisingly the biggest hit of the night wasn't the song "Back Where I Came From," but the entourage of Patriot players that graced the stage during the performance. Teddy Bruschi and Mike Vrabel were a among the crowd of players who joined Chesney on stage while a montage of Boston sports moments sent the crowd into a frenzy. Chesney might have been the man everyone wanted to see, but brand new dad Keith Urban got the crowd on it's feet. Leading off with "Days Go By" Urban looked comfortable and confidant on stage. He played a jampacked hour long set that included the hits "Stupid Boy," "You're My Better Half," and "Raining on Sunday," which happened to be the only mention of Sunday, also the name of his new daughter with wife Nicole Kidman.. |

| the whole show was great!! Keith rocked along with Leanne. We cannot wait 'til next year |
| Countryfest is the highlight of my summer for the last 5 yrs. Keith urban was a great addition to the lineup |
| Night Mare at Gillette Stadium! Started with the inadequate trained staffing( no CB radios when there was trouble.) Had premium seats and had to go to to 3 different booths & waited inline to only find out had to go All the way to the opposite side of stadium/stage to get in?? What was that? Then got to watch Gary Allen ( who I really wanted to see & injoy) make a complete idiot out of himself drinking JD half tanked on stage like he didn't want to be there. or maybe he wasn't there? To bad very talented artist drowning in a bottle. Gary you only get 1 life.. Don't Blink! |
| I have to Say Keith Urban you are definatley on your way.. Super Job! and LeAnn spectacular life on the stage! You loved what you were doing! it showed and your cute drummer has alot of feelings that had shown thru his finesse while he played.. Great Job! Where did you get that Lead Guitarist? WOW!Nice Find! |
| Sand BAR SEATS? No Shoes, No shirts, No SAND ??? No Security? No radios? No Help Big Problem |

| This is my third time seeing Kenny Chesney and it has gotten better every year. No only complaint I would have is that it was very confusing getting into the stadium. We had field seats and were told after we had already walked up ramp that we needed to get wrist bands to get into the field. We had to walk all the way back down. They could have told us that when they scanned our tickets. |
| Kenny Chesney was awesome. Keith Urban was awesome. Great show!!! |
| thought Keith Urban was the star of the night. Excellent guitar player and performer!! |
| Sandbar left - no seats!!!!! 8 1/2 hours standing, no water, no food, just beer hawkers. Last year I missed the concert because I was giving birth to my daughter but this year was definately a labor of love. You would think that for the money we pit people paid we would have gotten a seat for a few hours at least. Only for Kenny and Keith would I put myself through that pain. Kenny is awesome but now I am not sure if being in front is worth it. I'm still in pain from all that standing! |
| Could Have been a really good show.. but to many hassels and problems with rude mean people & No Real Security.. Planning was terrible as far as the stadium goes. Keith Urban was the Best.. He really wanted to be there.. All in all I willnot go to another concert at Gillette Stadium & I had the Sandbar tickets which cost a fortune.. Sand? No they were Cattle Corrals! |
