I think dierks and his band are really great live……but i do have a few other comments too.

First, i really,really dislike bluegrass music. When they play it in their live show, its time for a bathroom or beer break.

Second, i agree. This last cd just doesn’t do it for me. His music is starting to sound like the same old song done again and again and again. I hope the next cd sounds like dierks but is also a progression!

What a great review of the show and that’s great for you to say that he’s EOTY worthy! Whether he ever gets nominated and wins or not in the future doesn’t matter to me..he will always be the EOTY in my eyes! He’s too great for his fans and sure enough goes out of his way for us.

Like Ronna, he is my favorite artist as well! I’ve been pretty lucky to have him come near my area a good bit over the last few years and haven’t had to drive too awful far, but if it wasn’t for work and classes starting back or was on a weekend then I sure would have drove the 6 hrs to Atlanta to see him!

Sorry people, I must be missing something! I saw him this year and I didn’t think his concert was that good. His voice is grating too!

I was there and you captured it perfectly, Sam! Thanks for the favorable review on Dierks. The 9513 is rarely so positive about DB. He is my all time favorite artist–I drove 8 hours both ways to see him at The Tabernacle and would do it again in a heartbeat. I especially agree with this statement: “With four albums under his belt and a polished stage presence, Bentley is at the point where he has to be considered for Entertainer of the Year nominations and headline act status.” Thank you! He’s due!

I’ve seen him live and he definitely has the stage presence. But his vocals weren’t what I expected, although my expectations were real high… when it comes to studio/album voices, he’s male vocalist of the year worthy.

Thank you for this review! Dierks is a born showman and, like many previous EOTY winners, he is the kind of guy who is constantly thinking about how to make his live show better. Unlike many other artists he is an avid concert go-er and he does his research- watching the greats and the up-and-comings alike.

Plus… he’s a nice guy. I respect him. I wish him all the success in the world because he is the real deal.

Oooh this makes me want to see him again. I too fell in love with Dierks during the George Strait concert (from nosebleed seats) and I’ve seen him six times since, the last being in February of this year. I’m due again. This review really captures everything about him and the band!

Pierce, what you’ll see is a giant screen where people can text messages and have it appear on the screen, graffiti-style. If I was seated and there was air conditioning, I wouldn’t have minded it. There’s comedic value to watching a bunch of college-age white people texting things like “Fo drizzle” and “Whassssssssssup.”
