Back on February 4th I had the pleasure of attending the Lady Antebellum Concert at the Bryce Jordan Center. I don't listen to much country music so I wasn't really familiar with their work but knew that they have a huge following. I had no idea they were about to blow me away.
I actually was more excited to see the opening act, hoping that Darius Rucker would play some stuff from his Hootie and the Blowfish days. He did not disappoint. It may as well have been his concert with the way he rocked the house. After starting his set with some of his popular country songs he threw in some of the best Hootie songs my favorite being "I Only Wanna Be With You". The quality of his performance gave the feel that he wasn't the opening act, just part one of what was to come.
Thompson Squared was up next. I had never heard of them, so having no idea of what to expect I was pleasantly surprised. Although their performance wasn't as good as Darius Rucker's they were still really good.
Finally Lady A came out and they blew me away. They played mostly their hits which were much better live than on the radio. But my favorite part of the entire show was when Darius Rucker and Thompson Squared joined Lady A on stage and they all sang "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith. It seemed like the selection took the crowd by surprise and they loved it. Lady A put on one of the best concerts I've been to on par with the Eagles or Elton John.
