Last night, Sam and I went to see Trace Atkins and Toby Keith in concert. Trace is a good singer but not a great performer. Toby is the whole package. He is a true entertainer.
If you have never been to a country music concert, let me give you a little education. The beer is flowing, there is a lot of skin, and people slow dance in the aisles. I saw one couple who I'm sure were trying to conceive a child--It is a redneck crowd. I hesitated to do this post on the heels of my Lagoon post because I knew I would look like a snob but could I really deny you these pictures?
This is your typical male fan--always a lot of camo and sleeveless shirts.
You always get the die-hard, old school, horse-lovin' crowd--nothing like a horse stampede to accentuate your behind.
The classic male pony.
The tank-top twins. If you look closely, you will see that each twin has identical tattoos on her chest.
There is a strong Harley Davidson presence at country concerts.
It's a big night--pull out the leather bra.
For your viewing pleasure--the back view.
Frayed-edge sleevless collared button down on man. Always a good look.
Jack Sparrow look-alike:
Unfortunately for me, this chick was my view for the entire Trace Adkins portion of the show.
I'm all for standing up and dancing at concerts but you have to follow the crowd. In this case, the entire crowd was seated during Trace's performance--the entire crowd except her. She swayed and danced to her own beat. Her shirt kept falling further and further down. Everyone started yelling at her to sit down, which she didn't take kindly to. Sam stood up and pulled his shirt down over one shoulder and imitated her dance. Everyone loved it. He got high fives from about 10 people around us.
This is a close-up of her upper back tat: It says "Daddy's Little Girl." Daddy must be so proud.
At one point, all four of these classy ladies were standing in front of us. We finally moved to other seats. Eventually they got in a fight with the women next to them and were thrown out of the concert. Yippee!
